Father of the Bride
“Father of the Bride” is a movie starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and Kimberly Williams as the father, the mother, and the soon-to-be bride, respectively. It is apparently a remake of the movie by the same name from the 1950s that I have never watched.
Pros: Steve Martin was …
The Mummy film
I don’t know why I thought this, but I could have sworn the 1932 movie The Mummy was a horror film. I mean, it is advertised that way and stars Boris Karloff.
However, I tried to watch this movie yesterday with my daughter (she likes horror films but I try …
Stolen Life (2005)
If you think there is always a second chance in life, you may reconsider your optimism after watching this movie. I definitely did. Second chance seems to be a privilege granted not to every society, and losing the right to it before even turning eighteen seems to be unjustified …

The Holiday is a strange movie but loveable if you like love stories. It is about two women who switch houses, cars and everything basically for a couple of weeks over Christmas. They find that they have many things in common from being unlucky in love to similar …

Big Daddy is a nice comedy movie with some emotional scenes. This Adam Sandler starred movie has some heart touching scenes to it’s credit. Sonny is a job less and irresponsible guy. Though his friends and the people from his college have moved ahead in life and are doing …
Jumanji movie
Jumanji was one of the movies I wanted to see in the theater, but wasn’t able to. From 1995, it stars Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst, Bradley Pierce, Adam Hann-Byrd, and Laura Bell Bundy. It’s actually a nice adventure for children who aren’t afraid of monsters …
Across the Universe Movie
The husband and I recently watched the movie “Across the Universe”. I had been looking forward to it for quite awhile since I am a big Beatles fan. We were not disapointed and I was pleased to see my husband get so into a musical.
Previews of the …
Max Payne movie
I really enjoy watching Mark Wahlberg’s movies because he manages to come up with a different and exciting project every time. I must also admit that —˜Max Payne’ failed to impress me because it is not the kind of project one can link with this actor. It seems that …

Dishonored Lady movie

Sin Nombre movie
I follow movies that receive attention at small film festivals like Sundance or Cannes with great interest, because I generally enjoy these movies so much more than big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. I read reviews about “Sin Nombre” after it won some international awards, and I finally saw it on DVD …
Spiderman 3
I’ve mentioned this once, but when it comes to Superhero movies, you usually will have a hit with the first attempt at it but the sequels will never live up to the original. In the case of Spiderman 3, the third installment is definitely terrible compared to the previous …
The Dukes of Hazzard (2005 movie)
Remake of a popular TV series, this movie lacked the quality to keep me interested for even a short while. Where was the direction? It sure as hell didn’t leave me wanting more, I didn’t even want a little. This is yet another dumb movie that will fade away …
Themroc movie
A very unusual french film almost completely without dialogue. This is all about how people act instead of what they say, and in that sense I have to say it is really impressive. The story is that of the crazy man Themroc, who acts like some madman with compassion …
Doubt movie
In the face of progressive change, how much does compassion figure in long-established doctrine and discipline? This seems to be the question that is initially asked the audience upon watching “Doubt”, the film adaptation of the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning period stage play by John Patrick Shanley, but as …

Boogeyman 2 Movie
Boogeyman 2 isn’t the kind of movie that you absolutely love or absolutely hate; it’s more the kind of movie that leaves everyone feeling like it was only okay or so-so. That was how I felt after watching it anyway. I originally saw the preview for the movie while …
Movie Them (2007)
Them (2007)is a French horror movie that I still remember up till now. I rented this DVD movie and watched it during one of my off days and got really scared after watching. The plot goes this way. Clementine is a school teacher and she discovered one …

Hell or High Water (2016 Western Heist Film)
2016 is coming to a close, I have been in agreement with my mind to choose the possibly best film of the year to close another trip around the sun.

DarkMan
I think DarkMan is one of the greatest and best super heros ever made. This guy is just awesome and the story about how he became DarkMan is even more amazing. I think the special effects are just great for this movie being made in the year 1990. I had …
Valerie and her week of wonders movie
A strange film from Czechoslovakia by director Jaromil Jires. It involves young beautiful women, dark phantoms, evil forces and a whole lot of other things in a weird mixture. The film doesn’t have a constant narrative, it rather tries to invent a new way of telling a story with …
Netflix Mail Movie Rentals
Netflix is the best way to rent movies. I am actually suprised that video stores are still in business. They offer several different plans to fit your needs. The most affordable plan is their unlimited plan, which allows you to rent one DVD at a time and costs $9 …
Fahrenheit 451 Movie
“Fahrenheit 451″ filmed in 1966 and directed by François Truffaut is one bad, boring movie. I am really sorry to say this, but it is. I had read Ray Bradbury’s book titled “Fahrenheit 451″ and I remember enjoying it, so when I saw the movie at our library I …
The Hurt Locker (2009) movie

Father of the Bride

IMAX theatre systems
I think the IMAX theatres are one of the best things the movie business has going for it. As we see declining sales these are going to be the things that bring people back into the theatre. I have been saying it for years–if you want people back you …

OLDBOY (2003) - Film
