I had about an hour until Ghost Hunters last night so I ended up flipping channels looking for something to watch. I came across an old movie, Tommy, and decided to watch it. At the time, I figured I would watch about half of it and, if I liked …

The Third Man, 1949, is based on a novel by Graham Greene and directed by Carol Reed. Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton), an American author writing cheap westerns, comes to post-World-War-II Vienna. The city, devastated by bombings, is dark, dangerous, with crime running rampant. Martin was invited to Vienna by …

The right words to describe the movie “First Daughter” is a Presidential version of “A Princess Diaries”. The true pity is that “First Daughter” has the same story of “Chasing Liberty” and they were both released during the same year 2004. One cannot help but compare …

Signs was a really cool and scary movie. This movie really got into my head and freaked me out! I think this is why I liked it so much. It starts of slow with people seeing crop circles. And then you think you see things moving outside in the shadows, …

The movie Zor released in 1998. I went to watch this movie being attracted by the songs of the film. But what a stupid movie it is. Alas my money is wasted and I get a headache in return. The plot of the film is so irrelevant, stupid and …

Overall it’s a alright movie. It wasn’t that funny but it did have some funny parts in it. I did laugh a couple times but nothing was hilarious. It also dragged out somewhat. It was really long. It was kind of boring and I just wanted the movie to …

In this rather depressing portrayal of the future, America appears to have lost all its freedoms and turned into a totalitarian society. One of the cruel, government-run entertainments is “The Running Man” show, where convicted criminals are given a chance to run for freedom - but they will be …

I am reviewing the movie, Little Miss Sunshine, which was nominated for best picture this past year. It really is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. It stars Greg Kinnear as the father in the movie, Richard Hoover, who has a motivational plan called “the …

I had never heard of the movie I am Omega until it aired on TV yesterday morning. Since I didn’t have much else to do (my wife is extremely pregnant, limiting our movement on weekends), I ended up sitting down to watch it.
It turned out to be better than …

A film that is supposed to be based on a classic science fiction novel by L. Ron Hubbard, however the story is changed that much it’s fair to question the filmmaker’s intentions. John Travolta appears in his perhaps not proudest moment ever, as the leader of an alien species …

In 1984, teens used to relate a lot with the romantic movie “Sixteen Candles”. “She’s All That” is a 1999 teen generation movie similar to “Sixteen Candles” but only much better. Thanks to this movie the three main actors Freddie Prize Jr., Rachael Lee Cooke and Jodi …

Netflix is a company that provides DVDs to its members. A member subscribes to the service, and then pick DVDs from the database of movies that Netflix has. The company then sends the movies to the member through the mail. This is the basic concept of Netflix.

Frozen is a terrifying, harrowing movie about three young people who are trapped on a ski lift, 100 feet above the ground, at a ski resort that is closed and abandoned for the week. Adam Green directs this scary story. Emma Bell, played by Parker O’Neill, is …

This film was directed by David Cronenberg, an american underground director who mostly combines a lot of violence and supernatural themes with intelligent and artistic vision. Dead Ringers is considered as his first and greatest leap into a more “serious” style, and it tells the story of two twin …

Terminator 4 had lot of loud noises, cool sound effects and no redeeming quality whatsoever. This movie was one of the worst of 2009. Terminator Salvation, aka Terminator 4 was even more predicable that the third in the series. I am a big fan of Christian Bale, …

If placed in the hands of a second-rate screenwriter, certain concepts or premises could fall apart. This movie could easily have been one of those, but expert screenwriting and fine performances by Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler make this a charming, believable movie.
The story centers around Drew, who had …

It’s settled; Vincent Price is my favorite actor of all time. There is no actor, past or present, quite like him. In this remake of 1933’s ‘Mystery of the Wax Museum,’ an enthused Price plays Professor Jarrod, a brilliant artist whose wax sculptures seem like real people. …

“Cocoon: The Return” was released in 1988, three years after the original Cocoon that I really enjoyed. A group of senior citizens had left the planet Earth in the end of the first movie, choosing to live with aliens, on a planet where there is no illness or aging. …

Yet another great comedic masterpiece from the legendary comedian known as Mel Brooks, his style of in your face comedy is like no one else’s the you will ever encounter, his style is that of grace and timing without pushing for a laugh. In this movie, the main character …

I have never appreciated The Last Samurai until it was pointed out at one of the conventions I attended recently. One of the speakers at the convention pointed out that the values and tradition upheld by these ancient Japanese warriors are significant in the building of a person’s character.
After the …

I am Because We Are is a documentary that is heart-wrenching and hard to watch at times, but that is a very important movie about the suffering in the African state of Malawi. In Malawi, there are 1 million orphans, most of them orphaned by Aids. The country …

I am reviewing the movie, Love Comes Softly, which was released in 2002. This movie stars Katherine Heigl from Grey’s Anatomy as Marty Claridge and Dale Midkiff as widower Clark Davis. This movie is based on Janette Oke’s best selling book. Heigl’s character is along with her …

Last night I watched for the second time of this movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This movie is for all of age, and the story is about the kid who win the ticket to enter the Chocolate Factory, so it’s nice to watch by children accompanied by parents …

The title of this movie, The Gravedancers is very scary already. I screamed like a mad woman on some really scary scenes. I would warn viewers out there to bring all your sweater jackets, shawl, some warm drinks and good peanuts as the more this movie gets …

Separate Lies was released in 2005 and I knew as soon as it started that I probably wouldn’t like it. For one thing, the list of actors, overall, aren’t my style. Tom Wilkinson, for example, supposedly as talent, but he bores me, not to mention he’s often …

The Long, Long Trailer was released in 1953 and starred the real life married couple of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. They were an intriguing and vibrant couple in their day. I remember watching this comedy as a child, but it’s been many, many years since I’d …

Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix contains spoilers.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is my 2nd favorite Potter film out of the first five, but just like with Prisoner of Azkaban it took some time for me to get adjust.
Here’s what …

In 1980, Neil Simon’s play, Seems Like Old Times, was brought to the big screen with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn playing the lead roles of ex-married couple Nick and Glenda. Glenda has remarried, and her husband is moving up in governmental circles. The husband, Ira Parks, …

The film “The Devil Wears Prada,” based on the book of the same title by Lauren Weisberger, is about Andy Sachs (played by Anne Hathaway), a struggling journalist in New York who ends up working as the assistant of Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep), the editor of a …

A second rate action film with the model Cindy Crawford in the role of a woman who is followed by a seemingly crazy man. This whole film is an excuse for promoting Crawford’s career in my opinion, and that result is, not very unexpected, an embarrassing attempt of something …

I saw Children of Men twice in the movie theaters and I bough the DVD. This movie stars Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Michael Caine. It takes place in the not too distant future where people have become sterile. Clive Owen gets caught up in a situation to save …

This is a ludicrous comedy from the outside but a heresy from the inside. Many Christians who are adept with the Biblical principles will definitely not agree with some ideas presented in this movie concerning God and his being. I admit some scenes here are really funny like when …

I saw “Vajra Sky Over Tibet” yesterday afternoon here in Bellingham at the Pickford Theatre, our local independent, artistic theatre. The movie is a documentary that bills itself as a pilgrimage to Tibet. I described it to a friend as a spiritual and political travelogue.
This is a very good, …

With the deep rooted belief that anything with Will Smith in it has the makings of something great, I had high expectations of one of the movies he did, The Pursuit of Happyness. What would be even more interesting for me to see was how he would work with …

Two Mules For Sister Sara is about a woman and a man on the wild, west frontier, fighting the good fight. Hogan is the man, played by none other than the fantastic Clint Eastwood and Sara is the supposed nun, played by Shirley MacLaine. Hogan finds Sara in a …

“Drop Dead Sexy” is the movie where the actor Jason Lee shows off a strange hairstyle medium long hair all glued together with gel. The hairdresser on the set of this movie didn’t go through a lot of trouble to make his hair style! I can imagine …

Even thou these types of stories really aren’t my favorite kinds of movies, I’m not much of a romantic mushy movie kind of girl, but this cute, romantic Cinderella style movie is a nice watch when there’s nothing else on and you want a movie you can smile at and …

I had a pretty good grasp of the significant things that happened in the last book of the harry potter series. Deathly Hallows finally brought closure to the story I have read since grade school. Bluntly speaking, I am an ardent reader and fan of all harry …

A Bug’s Life, directed by John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton is rated G by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was November 25, 1998 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Adventure/Animation/Comedy/Family and stars the voices of Dave Foley as Flik, …

“Catch Me If You Can” is a by product of a mixture of Tom Hanks and Leonardo diCaprio talents together with the great talents of the director Steven Spielberg. I must admit that I really had high expectations about this movie. After watching it, I must say that “Catch …

(Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke)
Heads you live. Tails you die. And this movie definitely lives! This “story” about the first female bounty hunter, Domino (Knightley) is a full tilt, off the chart super pumped extravaganza of action, chaos, and mayhem. The high-octane, deliriously shot scenes do …

There was a time when Hollywood was flooded with films about the ancient Rome. Some of these were very successful, others weren’t. Cleopatra goes in the second category. The incredibly beautiful Elizabeth Taylor plays the queen Cleopatra of Egypt, a most powerful woman who is not easily corrupted. Only …

For people who grew up in the 80’s, much of the subtle humor in the recent movie, “Music and Lyrics” is not as subtle as it is obvious and in your face. From the incredibly cheesy music videos, to the fanatical gyrations of a has-been, this movie made me …

If comedy-action movies are your thing, then “Tropic Thunder” is a must-see. If not, I would still suggest checking it out as this movie provides more laughs than I ever expected.
I normally don’t go for the action-adventure movies; however, Jack Black and Ben Stiller have always provided hilarious comedic …

“The Skeleton Key” was the first movie that was not a romance comedy which I had the pleasure of seeing Kate Hudson in. I hate romance comedies, and so seeing her in another movie which was not a romance comedy, especially a horror movie, was very refreshing to me. …

The son of a mafia boss is eager to prove is ability, so he plans an “act” to impress his father and his associates, but this only leads to more trouble.
This is in my opinion not an interesting or entertaining film. It tries to make a nice combination between …

“Untraceable” is a nail biting movie with Diane Lane in one of her best roles. What is so interesting about this movie is that it has a slow beginning but, later on, it peaks up in a fast manner with a heart beating ending.
“Untraceable” is about Jennifer Marsh (Lane) …

I watched this film, very oddly named, Scenes of a Sexual Nature, on DVD last night. I have had high hopes for this film since first hearing about it a couple of years ago, as it features a strong British cast including Catherine Tate, Ewen McGregor and Hugh Bonneville …
