My Bill movie
Talk about overdone, that’s exactly what the film My Bill is. It’s a 1938 motion picture that actually did pretty well. Oddly, it’s a little disturbing to me.
We have a mother of four, whose husband is dead, and who is struggling to make sure her kids continue …
The Usual Suspects movie
I just watched the movie “The Unsual Suspects” last week on a bootleg DVD someone had of it, so I’m not completely sure what quality the actual DVD would be. I heard a lot of good things about this movie before I actually got to watch it, one of …
The Lake House movie
I’m usually not a big romance movie kind of guy but I do think Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock make a good film couple so I thought I would give Lake House a try.
Overall, I have to say it was a good movie, though it did remind me a …

Chloe Movie (2010)
I could not imagine Amanda Seyfried to star as a provocative and sexy role as Chloe. When I read about Chloe and how it was released in limited number of theaters, I was curious to see how she would pull it off.
Chloe is a film that stars Julienne …
Push movie
“Push” is a movie about people with powers. It’s set in a world where many people have powers that an secret agency has classified under terms like “pusher”, “reader,” “mover” and “eraser”. I was curious about this movie, even more so since it’s the first non-serious movie I’ve seen …

The Chumscrubber movie
The first time I saw the movie “The Chumscrubber” was one time on the summer holidays when I went to my cousin’s house. I only saw the end of it at that time, but I remember it was enough to make me want to see the rest of the …
Up (2009) movie
I went and saw this with a friend (even though it’s a kids’ movie and we’re both adults) because we had heard a lot of good things about it. And Pixar usually puts out good movies, so it wasn’t like it was a risk or anything. The fact that …
Batman Begins
I had never watched the story of Batman before this movie. I had just always really thought of all super heroes as always just kind of being there. But when I watched this movie, I really liked the way how it explained all of Bruce Wayne’s history, how he …
The Hitcher DVD
This is a remake of the classic that starred, C. Thomas Howell, from way back when. The original was the kind of thriller that you could watch over and over again. This remake was plain ridiculous. The action seemed a lot less than the original, the acting far …
Holiday In The Sun- Mary Kate and Ashley
When Mary Kate and Ashley were in there movie making days, I loved there movies! I always admired how they centered around traveling around the world for various reasons and just having a good time. I watched these a lot when I was younger, I recented really wanted to …
Film “Groundhog Day”
The movie Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies of all time because it has a lot to offer. It is a comedy but it does not relay on silly gags or stunts you have seen in other movies. It does have a handful of gags such …
Columbia House DVD
I signed up with Columbia House DVD. I got a certain number of DVDs for I believe, 99 cents each with the requirement that I purchase 4 DVDs at regular price in the next 2 years. I didn’t think that would be a problems. However, everytime I went in …

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
This was my favorite of the Original Trilogy. If you think of the three earlier films as one complete story, then Empire is the all-important second act. I like this film for several reasons.
First, it expanded on the Star Wars Universe introduced in A New Hope. This meant new …

Reign Over Me
When I saw the previews for this movie I automatically wanted to see it. I was a little skeptical as to how good it would have been with Adam Sandler playing a serious role, I have only ever seen him do comedy roles. He did an amazing job though. …
You Don’t Mess with the Zohan Movie
This is the most stupidest Adam Sandler’s movie I have ever seen in my whole life and the most stupid movie I’ve seen so far this year. I was quite disappointed after watching the movie with my husband who is a big Adam Sandler fan. Good thing we did …
Sex Tape (comedy movie)

Dracula: Dead and Loving it
I’m a huge fan of Mel Brooks movies, so when I got a chance to see the film “Dracula Dead and Loving it” again, I had to take it.
As far as his movies are concerned, this isn’t going to rank as high as other films like Blazing Saddles or …
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
I brought Eeyan and Natasha, my 2 cute nephew and niece, respectively to watch Kung Fu Panda (2008). It was real super fun and we had a great time. The thing was that I was supposed to go with my date on that day, this 26 year …
Face Off (1997)
I cannot recall how many times I’ve seen this movie but I don’t mind. I like this anyway. Well, of course I don’t buy the idea that two people could exchange faces considering the differences in their genetic make up and it’s not solved by simple facial …
Twilight Movie
“Twilight” is a movie adapted from a famous novel “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer. I was recommended this movie by my sister and so I rented it’s DVD from a local DVD store to watch it on Sunday. I did not have high expectations from the movie.
Twilight is a romantic …
Godzilla, King of the Monsters DVD

A Dog’s Breakfast movie
A Dog’s Breakfast surprised me a great deal because while it was as warped as I suspected it was, but it was also somewhat enjoyable. I didn’t like some of the more graphic parts and the innuendo that resulted, but as a whole, it was oddly enjoyable.
I’m not …
Ratatouille (2007 film)
The 2007 children’s animation movie “Ratatouille” is a fun family film that kept me entertained and laughing as I watched a rat long to be a chef, and work with a man in France to not only further the humans career, but be able to cook delicious foods that …
Locked Up (NR, 2004) movie
Ohhh boy. I guess I should go ahead and warn you that this movie is a very low-budget yet hardcore German gay film. While not necessarily a pornographic movie, there are some rather explicit scenes, and one in particular that is really jarring to watch, no …
Finding Nemo
One of my daughter’s favorite all time movie is Finding Nemo. She was obsessed with Nemo for such a long time. I enjoyed watching this movie with her because it was a classic. Anything that is made by Disney or Disney Pixar is such a great …

A production from New Zeeland from the same director who did the studid sequel to Under Siege with Steven Seagal, and that can be noticed here. This film …
Must Love Dogs movie
We recently rented the DVD “Must Love Dogs,” starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. Or, I should say, my wife rented it.
This is definitely a roma-comedy, a chick flick, more appropriate to a girls nite with Ben & Jerry than to a nite with her husband.
There is some …
Sophie’s Choice, film
Sophie’s Choice is a drama film about love, friendship, and family starring Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and Peter Macnicol. Alan J.

Wanted
When the trailers for this movie first came out, I was really confused. I’m a big fan of crazy weird action flicks like the Matrix, but this seemed a little too far fetched; like Hollywood was running out of ideas. But, at the same time, it had Morgan Freeman …
The Hills Have Eyes 2
It’s not often I come across a horror film that actually scares me to the point I want to make sure all the doors and windows are locked. The Hills Have Eyes 2 managed to accomplish this.
The 2007 remake turned out to be one of the scarier movies I’ve …
Family Guy - Something Something Dark Side
Empire Strikes Back was my least favorite of all the original Star Wars films, so I didn’t know if I would like the Family Guy version of it. Since they stayed pretty true to the first movie, A New Hope, I …
