BlockBuster Video in Westford MA
Blockbuster in Westford is a very good place to rent your movies at. I liked going to this particular blockbuster because of the neatness, size, customer service and the fact that the movie I always wanted to get was always in, no matter what.
When you pull into Blockbuster you …
Surf’s Up
I brought my little cousin less than 4 years old to watch Surf Up the other night, and she really enjoyed the penguin sightings. She really thought that penguins could sing, talk and dance, and she wanted to go to the zoo to talk to the penguins. …
A Prophet (movie)
One of the most interesting movies that I watched maybe about two months ago was a French movie called “A Prophet”. Like many of the movies I watched vey recently, I read about it in a popular movie blog before I decided to try it out, because it got …
The Bourne Supremacy
There’s rarely a sequel to a Hollywood blockbuster that lives up the original in any way. I have to agree with this when it comes to the second installment of the Jason Bourne series, The Bourne Supremacy. Though it’s still good, I can’t say that it holds a candle …
Panic Room movie (2002)
This is probably director David Fincher’s most commercial film to date. Originally set to star Nicole Kidman, who had to bail on the project due to an injury on Moulin Rouge (and has a small voice-only role over the telephone in Panic Room), Jodie Foster fills in the …
Mean Girls movie
If there was any movie that made Lindsay Lohan the celebrity she is now, Mean Girls would be it. As Cady, the smart-yet-uncool new girl from Africa who made the fearless journey from homeschooling to the uncharted territories of the American high school safari, Lohan appeared quite the …
Big City movie
I saw Big City for the first time this week, and I just loved it. It’s a warm, sweet, tender family drama, though it couldn’t happen in today’s society. Back when it was filmed in 1948, I suppose it could have been possible.
The adorable and ultra talented …
Sleepy Hollow: the movie
Sleepy Hollow is a movie starring Kiera Knightley and Johnny Depp — two very good actors. Johnny Depp plays Ichabod Crane, a young inspector who is sent to a small out-of-the-way town to solve a series of murders. A mysterious figure called the headless horseman is killing …
Sixteen Candles
What is interesting about teen movies is the fact that every time period is associated to a film. Now a days is “High School Musical” period, but in the 80’s they had “Sixteen Candles” which was a smashing hit at the time.
This movie definitely marked the beginning of …
Boogie Nights
Boogie Nights is a drama starring Julianne Moore, Heather Graham and Mark Wahlberg. The movie is set in 1970’s and 1980’s in California and the story revolves around pornography industry. The major plot is about a young man who works as dish washer at a night club and his …
Thor the movie
The movie Thor was a very interesting movie. The characters were well thought out. Something surprising about this movie was that it was very funny and not too dramatic. My favorite character was the scientist’s assistant Darcy, she had a good sense of humor and kept things light when …
Bed of Roses
The movie “Bed of Roses” represents an attempt from Christian Slater to make another movie similar to “Untamed Heart”. This movie came at a time where Slater wanted to move on with his acting career and leave his past bad boy image behind him. Through this movie Slater failed …
Hell’s House movie
Hell’s House from 1932 is not going to go down as a favorite film of mine. There wasn’t all that much outstanding about it. In fact, it was all pretty average. The one, or should I say two things that it had going for it was …
The Clone Wars film
“The Clone Wars” is a 2008 film with the computer animated characters who would later appear on “The Clone Wars” TV series on The Cartoon Network. The movie essentially acts as an introduction to the main characters and the conflicts you will expect to see in the series. …
Movie: The Last House on the Left (1972)
A few weeks ago, my wife and I watched the remake of the movie The Last House on the Left. It was an OK movie but not great and, since I had never seen the original, began wondering if it was any better or worse.
After reading about the original …
Red Velvet (2008 movie)
I love horror movies, so when I saw that this movie was going to be shown on cable, I just had to look into it. I was curious about it, because I love red velvet cake! So it sounded like an intriguing title for a horror movie. Then I …
Glitter Movie
Review of the movie Glitter. 2001.
Starring Mariah Carey, Max Beesley.
No wonder screenplay writer Kate Lanier took a four-year hiatus after her work on Glitter. I’m just surprised she didn’t have extensive plastic surgery, change her name, and flee the country in disgrace. Fortunately for her however, there is plenty …
Night at the Museum
‘Night at the Museum’ directed by Shawn Levy has very peculiar story which interests my a strange manner. In general, it is movie which kids will enjoy more. But, that does not mean that it does not deserve adult viewers. Ben Stiller, playing the lead role has acted to …
Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All movie
From 1989, Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All stars Stacy Keach in the title role of the famous private eye created by Mickey Spillane. This is somewhat of a weird plot that has Mike Hammer being transported covertly to Las Vegas. One thing leads to another and Hammer …
Twilight: Eclipse
Disclaimer: I am neither a fan, nor a hater of the Twilight franchise. While I didn’t read the books, I saw both previous movies, and on the whole found them to be a light, undemanding (if sometimes cracktastic) entertainment.
I went to see Twilight: Eclipse with no particular expectations, and …
Movie : My Cousin Vinny
Synopsis: Joe Pesci plays a Brooklyn personal injury attorney who travels to Alabama to defend his cousin and his cousin’s friend from a bogus murder charge. He not only has to overcome a massive pile of evidence against the two defendants, he must also overcome the fact he doesn’t …
Monster’s Ball (2001)
A stirring movie based on the intricacies of people and the way the view the world according to their own life experiences. On one side of the spectrum, you have a family that is filled with racial hate and it has stemmed for generations. Be that as it may, …
Movie Casino Royale
Of all the James Bond films I’ve seen, Casino Royale is by far the worst.
First, Daniel Craig can’t fill even George Lazenby’s shoes when it comes to the role. He’s not handsome. He’s not charming and he’s not James Bond.
The movie itself was even more of a problem. …
Nurse Betty
Nurse Betty with Renee Zellweger, Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock, and Greg Kinnear.
The movie was excellent primarily because of the all star cast. Zellweger is not great looking, but her on screen wholesomeness shines through to make her really desirable. Morgan Freeman plays a hired …
The Rock (movie/film)
The Rock is a story about one angry retired military officer, the Brigadier General Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris), whose special forces were killed in action, and their families were not compensated for their deaths.
As a revenge, the general wants to pressure the government to do their obligations.
The …
Nayak (movie), 2001
The movie Nayak released in 2001. I watched this film at home on TV. The story is of a man who becomes the Chief Minister of a state for only one day and what kind of changes and reformation he introduces into the system for the betterment of people …
Valentine movie
Valentine with David Boreanaz and Denise Richards.
This horror clone of Friday the 13th is an entertaining flick, but since it has been preceded by many similar works of the same pattern it loses its attraction. Generate an unknown masked killer with a grudge. Insert …
Krull
This film quietly snuck up on us in the early 1980’s. It’s a science fantasy film that, boiled down, is essentially the classic plot: boy meets girl, boy loves girl, boy gets girl.
The boy and girl are Corwyn and Lyssa. And in the beginning they are to be married, …
Little Orphan Annie
I had never seen the movie Little Orphan Annie until today; when my wife decided she wanted to watch it again.
I’m not exactly sure why I didn’t want to watch it before. I usually like musicals. It just didn’t sound like it would be a movie I would find …
The Pelican Brief (1993)
Denzel Washington aids a young law student in trying to solve a very important historical crime. This is a bad move that leaves her in harms way, the powers that be do not want this information to come to light and they will stop at nothing to make sure …
You Can’t Run Away From It movie
I’m not sure if I’ve seen You Can’t Run Away From It before or not. It’s vaguely familiar, but not readily in my brain. Of course, it could be the basic story that rings in my head since this is a musical remake of the classic, “It …
Silver Streak Movie
Silver Streak is one of my favorite movies. It turned 30 years old this year, but is still fresh and fun to watch. I just watched it again just a few minutes ago and laughed and enjoyed it as if were the first time I’d seen it.
I fell in …
The Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” based from the novels by Jeff Kinney, is a film that is fun for the entire family. It portrays the diary of a six grader named Greg Heffley who is trying to be popular and be known throughout the school. But …
Breakfast at Tiffany’s movie
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is another classic that I keep watching repeatedly. In fact, just recently I bought the collector’s edition. This film is just amazing, and not only because actress Audrey Hepburn lights up the screen with her presence and fashion style. I think the film …
Deja Vu (movie)
When I read the description of Denzel Washington’s movie, Dejavu, I thought it sounded interesting. And, after watching it, I have to say it was even better than expected.
Washington plays an investigator for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms who is brought in to investigate the explosion of …
Fifteen and pregnant
I do not know where I have been, but I was watching lifetime the other day which I absolutly adore especially for there made for tv movies. I noticed a movie from 1998 called Fifteen and pregnant. I went on to read the description and it caught my attention …
I Know Who Killed Me (2007)
Lindsay Lohan plays a duo character similar to that of the remake of the Parent Trap but, with a more sinister twist. As the character Aubrey Flemming, she is the typical girl next door, straight A student at school, with popular friends. As Dakota Moss, she is a troubled …
Movie The good night
I must admit that I was confused about the introduction of the film “The Good Night”. To be honest, I thought I had put the wrong DVD in my DVD player and had to check it out. I confirm that “The Good Night” directed by Jack Parlow, brother of …
Lady in the Water movie
M. Night Shyamalan hit the nail on the head with this creative endeavor of his. Lady in the Water is a story-telling type of movie in which the main characters, who all share an apartment complex together, join together to help save a young woman who was found in …
House Of Voices
Speaking of horror and haunting movies, this one title, House Of Voices sits in the list of mine as being pretty boring and bland. I’ve watched it with my friends and if I’m not mistaken, this movie was before 2005 or 2006.
The story is about this particular woman who …
Red Box DVD Rental Kiosk
What initially began appearing inside Giant and Shoppers grocery marts, the “Red Box,” are now emerging in increasing numbers and outside convenient stores, such as the 7-Eleven in walking distance of my home. These tall, red-colored ATM-like DVD rental kiosks provide the customer with an inexpensive and convenient …
1408 (2007)
John Cusack stars alongside Samuel L. Jackson in this tale of a haunted room in a hotel. Stories of the horrors that this room has caused even made headlines in the local newspapers. It would seem that anyone who enters the room and stays longer than a certain period, …
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
For some weird reason (maybe it’s Sean Connery) I actually prefer the last of the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Last Crusade, over the other two. I�m not sure why though because, when you think about it, it brings more of the bad stuff from the other two than the …
Prince of Persia (2010 Film)
My boyfriend and I went on a date one night to the movies to watch Prince of Persia. At first, I did not think that I would find the film interesting at all, since I knew that it was based on a video game. That was my first mistake. …
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, directed by Justin Lin is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for reckless and illegal behavior involving teens, violence, language and sexual content. The original release date was June 16, 2006 for United States audience. This movie falls in …
The Hours (2002)
Based on one of my favourite novels ever, Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf, this movie explores the inner world of three different women, living in three different times. They’re all connected to eachother somehow, the first being none other than the writer, Virginia Woolf (played by Nicole Kidman), who …
Pickford Theatre
The Pickford Theatre located at 1416 Cornwall Avenue in Bellingham, Washington is my favorite movie house ever. The theatre tends to show thoughtful, intelligent films from around the world. Recently I’ve seen “The Queen,” ” Vajra Sky Over Tibet,” and “Little Miss Sunshine. Currently “Iran in Fragments” is …
Tattoed Life movie
This is one of Suzuki’s films that is most unlike the major part of his work. The narrative is of the same style as his other films, but here I think he goes much deeper into the personalities of his characters and gives a more moving portrait of human …
