Mary, Queen of Scots movie
Mary, Queen of Scots is a great movie about the Queen who held her ground and took on England and anyone else who dared defy her. Vanessa Redgrave plays Mary, and she is super in this role. I had to watch this movie in one of my history classes …
Birth of a Nation movie
Perhaps the single most influential film ever made is this silent milestone by american pioneer filmmaker D.W. Griffith. It tells a very complex melodrama taking place during the american civil war. It’s difficult to watch a film like this through the same eyes as the people did when it …
Movie: Grown Ups
Synopsis: Five men who were best friends in grade school reunite with their families for a fouth of July weekend after their elementary school basketball coach dies.
What I liked about this movie: I was expecting this film to have a lot of crude humor but the jokes were actually …
The Parent Trap
My mom purchased this version of the classical Parent Trap. I’ve watched it over a hundred times and it still gets me laughing. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t even heard of it or seen it. It’s just another one of those things that gets passed down generation to …
Role Models movie
Role models was a lot more funnier than I thought it was going to be. The movie has Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd in it. They face jail time but instead of jail they have an opportunity to do community service instead. They have to spend time with …
Walt Disney Presents: Beyond Witch Mountain movie
Beyond Witch Mountain was actually an hour long pilot movie for a potential TV series. It was made for TV in 1982 and at the time was the third Witch Mountain production. Two more followed it as time passed.
What was interesting to me about this is that …

The Lakehouse (2006) Movie
Life is only travelled once. Today’s moments may be tomorrow’s memories. The movie Lakehouse depicts the story of two people who fell in love through a time difference of two years– a past and a future. Alex (Keannu Reeves) and Kate (Sandra Bullock) proved to the world that …
Petals in The Wind (Lifetime movie)
I was a huge fan of VC Andrews’ Dollanganger book series, especially a little after I read them as a teenager. While I loved Flowers in the Attic, I thought that Petals in the Wind rivalled it in drama, sensuality and the taboo. Therefore, you can imagine my excitement …
Halloween II, 2009 Horror film
It bothers me how bad Halloween II is. Rob Zombie took a good thing he had going with his first movie and just decided to messed it all up. At times the movie felt like an action flick with horror elements. Calling this a straight-up horror movie is a …
National Lampoon’s The Stoned Age
We randomly picked a movie to watch on our netflix player last night and ended up with National Lampoon’s The Stoned Age. When we started watching it, I figured it would be like that old movie Caveman, which was funny but pretty lame. It turns out Caveman was a …
Glorifying the American Girl movie
Glorifying the American Girl from 1929 purports to be under the direct supervision of the legendary Florenz Ziegfeld. There were lots of showgirls in this motion picture to satisfy that Rockette feeling, too. Even today, the line of girls doing those high leg kicks are incredibly popular.
I …
Don’t Mess with the Zohan
Director: Dennis Dugan. Featuring: Adam Sandler, John Turturro, Rob Schneider and Emmanuelle Chriqui.
This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. What really makes this movies great, is that beside the absolutely hilarious scenes that kept me laughing so hard I could barely breathe, it actually dealt …
Movie: 300
First half of the movie was honestly bored but as it get closed to the war scene, it became the best war movie i have ever seen in my life. Only three hundred people were fighting against a huge country for their country. There was a man who called …
The incredible hulk
The Incredible Hulk is the second movie in the Hulk series. It was released in 2008. This movie is based on the comic series character the hulk. This movie is a much watch for the people who have already been reading the hulk comics. However people who have never …
Good Neighbors Movie (2010)
I was looking forward to seeing the movie Good Neighbors for quite some time. I have read mixed reviews about it and wanted to check it out for myself. My overall impression at the end of the movie was that overall it is a forgettable movie. There have been …
Newsies movie
I first saw the movie Newsies when I was in high school as part of my chorus class. Ever since seeing the movie for the first time, I can’t go a year without needing to rent it again.
Overall, the movie probably isn’t the best musical out there. But, it’s …
Watchmen (2009)
A surprising and good film, the Watchmen was an adequately well done action film. A bit too cerebral at times, but very well directed. Based on the famous comic (graphic novel) by Alan Moore. The movie did a good job of transferring most of the depth …
On the Town musical
Another great musical that I truly love to watch is On the Town. It’s very upbeat and all about love. It’s highly entertaining, with songs that make you want to sing along with them.
The story of On the Town is pretty basic. It’s three sailors on …
Where Have All the People Gone movie
From 1974, Where Have All the People Gone is a movie I’ve remembered well from its original airing on television. Back in the day, this was actually one of those movies that showed up late night all the time. Peter Graves stars as Steven Anders, the father …
What Lies Beneath
My daughter loves horror movies and convinced me to rent What Lies Beneath. She said it was a good movie, but I am not a huge fan of horror films. I decided to give it a try anyway. She wanted to watch it, so why not. I rented the …
Steal This Film II
Digital “piracy” has been around for a while now, and it is a movement that is growing every day. There have been quite a few documentaries made about the phenomenon, one of those just happens to be Steal This Film II. It isn’t specifically about file sharing …
Fright Night (2011 Movie)
As much as I hate Hollywood’s love affair with vampires and remakes, I love this movie way better than the original. I didn’t actually see the original Fright Night until a month before the new one came out, and I was disappointed (probably because it was about 20 years …
Premonition
OK, I’ll admit it, when I rented the movie Premonition, I didn’t think it was going to be anything special. I mean, it looked creepy enough, but most movies do in the previews and then suck.
But, after watching it, I’ll admit it; I was definitely a little bit spooked …
The Babadook (horror movie)
I’m a sucker for horror movies. Therefore it was a given that I had to check out the movie “The Babadook” once I read about it in an article online. The writer claimed it was one of the most frightening and talked about movies of the year and I was …
The Notebook movie
Although I don’t watch as much romantic movies as I do action/adventure thrillers, I saw The Notebook and I totally loved it. It really made me cry. It’s about Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams), a young, wealthy teenage girl who vacations with her family to North Carolina. There she meets …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I had been waiting on the edge of my seat for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to come out. I watched all of the movies prior to this one on DVD three or four times in the last month, getting reaquainted with the story and the …
All This And Heaven Too
All This And Heaven Too features one of my favorite actresses, Bette Davis. The movie was made in 1940 when Bette was young and still very beautiful. The story involves Bette portraying a governess, Henriette, hired to care for the children of a French Duke and Duchess. The …
Night At The Museum 2 movie
Two weeks ago, my husband, together with my 7-year old daughter decided to watch a movie. There are four cinemas in the mall that we went to, and none of them were showing an animated film, so we decided to watch Night At The Museum 2 since it was …
Get Smart movie
At first I was a bit skeptical about this movie. The trailer seems funny and exciting, but most boring movies do. So when I went to the cinema with my sister to watch something (Hancock excluded because she wanted to watch it with her bf) I have no other …
The Devil Wears Prada
Generally speaking, I don’t much go for the obvious chick flicks. There are some that I like, but it doesn’t happen to be a genre that I’m in the mood for a lot. And, how much more “chick flick” can you get than a movie that puts …
Fullmetal Alcehmist Brotherhood Episode 26
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 26 starts off with Ed and Ling battling Envy, who has assumed his true form and they’re fighting for their lives while Al follows Gluttony to where Father is. May Chang discovers that Shao May was separated from her in the fighting and sees …
The History Boys
The History Boys is about some cute looking boys in a school, who has some strict regime and school lesson periods. They are all a dish to watch out for, and I can’t memorize their names, as the whole time I was watching this movie, I was just …
Original Sin movie
British dramas aren’t the easiest for me to watch. I’ve tried off and on, but they have their cultural slant that this American reviewer often just doesn’t get. The biggest thing for me is still trying to understand the lingo and sometimes just the spoken words. …
American Pie: The Naked Mile
When the original American Pie was released it instantly became a huge hit. It was followed by American Pie 2 and American Wedding. The series seemed over when American Wedding was released, but many were wrong. American Pie: The Naked Mile, is the 5th in the American Pie series. …
Hairspray
The movie ‘Hairspray’ is a musical of a highschool girl with a fasination of the preforming arts and the desire to dance on a local tv show called ‘The Corney Collins Show’ It stars names like, John Trovolta, Queen Latifa, and Christopher Walkin.
…
Charmed TV Show
Remember the tv show Charmed? This was about three sisters who fought demons and struggled to build personal lives as well. I must admit, this is among my favorite shows. I have almost all of the seasons on DVD and I don’t let anyone in my family touch them …
Hairspray
If nothing else, this remake of the 1988 musical is worth watching for John Travolta playing the main character’s mother - yes, *mother*. She is fat, and she dances. Travolta is unrecognizable under layers of latex and a fat suit, when I first saw a photo of him in …
My Best Friend’s Wedding
At the time this movie was launch at the cinemas, it was labelled as another Julia Roberts movie. However this movie was much more then that! “My Best Friend’s Wedding” is one of the best romantic movies of all time and at the same time it was the first …
Clue movie
I am reviewing the movie, Clue, starring Tim Curray. This movie is based off of the board game, Clue. Who did it? With what? Where? When? These are the main questions one has to ask. Was it Mr. Green, Colonal Mustard, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. White, …
The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …
The Fog (2005)
This movie is a remake of a movie by the same name that was released to the general public way back in 1980. The story tells of danger that comes whenever heavy fog is in the general area. People who are caught outdoors or in the fog never come …
A Beautiful Mind
A Beautiful Mind(2001) starring Russell Crowe won four Oscars and I believe they were well deserved.In my opinion it is the best movie I have ever watched as it documents the real life struggle of a mathematical genius with schizophrenia.John Nash is the lead character played by Russell Crowe …
Kojak: Flowers for Matty movie
I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …
Fargo
I’ve always said there are many under-rated actors in Hollywood, and Fargo has two of them. William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi have helped many movies succeed with their performances, without the accolades of their peers. This movie is no exception. Both actors made this movie successful.
Macy is a …
Chain Letter Movie
When was the last time you received a chain letter either by email or text, and actually followed the directions and passed it on to someone. In my case never because I never believed in the hype of what chain letters can or cannot do. In the movie Chain …
Film Titanic
One of the best movies I have ever seen is the movie Titanic starring Leonardo DiCaprio. This movie is a great depiction of the maritime catastrophe that occured on April 15, 1912. I felt that the movie took me back to that event.
I thought …
Baby Boy (2001)
baby Boy, directed by John Singleton is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong sexuality, language, violence and some drug use. The original release date was June 29, 2001 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Romance and stars Tyrese Gibson …
