Across the Universe (2007 film)
As a Beatles fan, I put off seeing “Across the Universe” for a while-even when others raved about it-because it didn’t seem like any movie could really do justice to the music-and I’m including the movies the Beatles themselves actually made, with the possible exception of “Magical Mystery Tour,” …
The Hangover
I was fortunate enough to see the new movie the Hangover in the movie theatre while it was still in theaters. I saw it with my boyfriend and I must admit, it was the perfect date movie. It is perfect only if you are looking for a very light, …
Movie Notting Hill
This is a story about a famous actress Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) and a travel bookshop owner William Thacker (Hugh Grant) who by chance met and fell in love. It seems impossible for them to be together because of their social status, but love found a way.
You would …

Vantage Point movie
For my twenieth birthday, three friends of mine dragged me to the movie theater to see the new 2008 film Vantage Point. I had not heard of the film, but I was not interested. I’d have preferred simply to hang out at a friend’s house and play cards. Begrudgingly, …
Girl Happy movie
1965 gave the world another Elvis Presley movie, this time called Girl Happy. It featured, once again, Shelley Fabares. She and the King had a real chemistry going, but I have to say that I hated her hairdo in this flick. She looked really funny with …
Shallow Grave movie

Poltergeist (2015 supernatural horror movie)
In my experience remakes, like sequels don’t always turn out very well. That is why I wasn’t exactly rushing to see it once I found out that the 2015 remake of the popular 1982 supernatural horror movie Poltergeist. However, I found myself singing a different tune once another horror movie …
Silver Streak
If ever there was a favorite Gene Wilder film to choose, which is a hard task to accomplish, then Silver Streak would be a definite contender. It is this film that introduced Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor to one another, even though the first half of the film is …
Home Alone 4-movie
I recently watched a sequal to the home alone franchise.The first two home alone movies starred Macauly Culkin.After that,the rest of the home alone movies didnt star macauly and deteriorated in quality.Hoem Alone 4 is the worst of the them.The acting in it is pertty bad.The lead child is …
Film 1408
I had been looking forward to the big screen adaption of Stephen King’s excellent short story 1408 from his collection Everything’s Eventual. I’d heard quite a few positive reviews and heard that it didn’t do too bad at the box office either, which was unexpected and hopefully a good …
Movie Bruno
Sachon Baron Cohen’s highly anticipated–highly controversial–new film “Bruno” follows the same vein as the 2006 hit “Borat.” Written by both Cohen and Anthony Hines, the movie relies entirely on its ability to shock its audience into laughter. For me, this was successful.
The movie is based on Cohen’s alternative personality …
Duplicity
I normally loathe watching or reading romantic books and movies; thus I had absolutely no intention to watch the romance comedy film Duplicity until one of my friends somehow managed to trick me into watching it with her. Unlike her promises that the movie would get better, I found …
Toy Story 2
Very few sequels live up to there predecessors. Toy Story 2 had a big job on its hands living up to Toy Story which was a movie I cherished. So, how did it stack up? On par in my opinion. Just as good as the …
The Princess Bride Movie
I have watched the movie The Princess Bride countless times now. And, I have to say, even after seeing it more times than just about any other movie (including Star Wars), this film is still as good as it was the first time I saw it.
The thing I like …
Defiance
I don’t usually like war movies, but sometimes I watch them mostly because my mother likes them. That was how I watched the movie Defiance. At first, I thought it was going to be very boring too like many of the other war films I’ve seen with the graphic …

The Beach (2000)
I have read about the book (not read the book per se) titled “The Beach”. This novel was made into a film in 2000, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Richard, the fun-loving, adventure-seeking American with a can-do attitude who seeks adventure and risks his life in Bangkok, Thailand.
This movie …
Only Lovers Left Alive (movie)
As I mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of the actor Tom Hiddleston, not just because of his acting, but because I think he’s just downright handsome and charming. I remember that a little after the “Avengers” movie I began to wonder what other future projects he might have, …

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

The Old Curiosity Shop Movie
The Old Curiosity Shop, 1995, mini-series, is a good adaptation of the novel by Charles Dickens. Peter Ustinov plays Grandfather, a poor old man who is raising his beloved granddaughter Nell and trying to make her fortune by gambling. Peter Ustinov may be a little too heavy for the …

The Movie Toy Story
Along with my love of hair care products also comes a love of movies and books. This review will be about a movie that most people have probably seen a dozen times: Toy Story.
Centered around a group of toys who go through the struggles of being replaced, thrown out, …
Ratatouille
When I saw Disney had come out with a new animated movie about a rat who is aspiring to be a French chef, I will have to say I had my doubts. It sounded like a cute concept but the thought of a rodent handling food people eat just …
The Happening
I just watched the happening last night from a download. The movie started in Central Park New York. From the very beginning of the movie, it freaked me out. I could not look when the girl suddenly took the chopsticks out of her hair then stick it in to …

A zed and two noughts movie
After his masterpiece The draughtsman’s contract back in the early 1980s, the expectations on Peter Greenaway where enormous on my account. He created some very impressive pieces of work through the remaining 80s that included the puzzling Drowning by numbers and the macabre The cook, the thief, his wife …
A Nightmare on Elm Street movie
I’m not sure exactly how I managed to live my life without seeing this particular film, but I have. Upon having seen it, I am glad I have. It was an enjoyable film, the scene when the first girl is killed is quite startling (in my opinion …

“Pacific Rim” movie
The geek community had high hopes for this movie. Having giant robots fighting giant monsters seems like a guaranteed good time, but the fact that Guillermo Del Toro was helming the project only added to the hype.
I have to admit, Del Toro’s been on a hot streak lately. …
