Yes Man movie
I took the time to watch the Jim Carrey movie Yes Man even though I had some reservations about it. I don’t mind him as an actor but some of his films are a bit too much for me.
However, I will admit the movie was much better than expected.
Carrey …

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen A&E
I believe the best movie version of Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice is by A&E. I’ve read the book, and the A&E version holds very close to Austin’s work. I hate when movie directors and film writers believe they have to make the classic their own, by making …
Bride Wars movie
‘Bride Wars’ is the movie where the main stars, Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson dream to marry at the Plaza Hotel. Unfortunately I expected much more from this movie. I feel that the script lacked a certain amount of magic and there weren’t enough funny moments as expected.

Movie Monsters Inc
Pixar’s 2001 release, Monsters Inc., is probably my least favorite Pixar movie ever released. For some reason, I cannot forget that Billy Crystal and John Goodman are the voice actors in this movie. Its difficult to explain, but Tom Hanks becomes Woody, and Owen Wilson becomes Lightning …
The Haunted Mansion
This 2003 release was obviously meant to be a “spooky comedy” of sorts, with ghosts and zombies who come alive in their tomb in a most inconvenient time. Perhaps some kids liked it, and perhaps it was okay to watch once for some adults. But to me, it was …
The Invisible Movie
The Invisible is a movie that I recently picked up and was fairly surprised to find that I liked it, at least more than I thought I would. This is another one of those straight to DVD releases, but unlike other movies this one has some spectacular acting and …
Dance with the Devil (UR, 1997)
I wasn’t going to rent this movie at first since it was a little old. But since I really like both Javier Bardem and Rosie Perez, I thought the film was worth a try. Boy was I wrong. It’s supposed to be a dark comedy. …

My Sister’s Keeper movie
This movie review contains spoilers.
I saw Cameron Diaz on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ talking about her role in the upcoming film ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ and couldn’t wait to see it. Usually I don’t like watching movies that look too sad, especially about children with cancer, but Cameron’s character …

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past movie
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a 2009 release, stars Matthew McConaughey and it’s positively brilliant. Okay, so it’s a revamped version of Scrooge, but a good story is a good story. In fact, there’s a moment at the end when McConaughey’s character teases just a bit about …
Eat Pray Love movie
My husband would call this a definite “Chick” flick. No action, no thrills, just relationships and love. My feminist “hackles” go up when he says that and I feel slightly guilty to admit that I “kinda” liked this movie.
It’s not a new story …
Sunny movie
From 1941, Sunny was based on a stage play of the same name. It was, at moments, an interesting take on the times when performing for a circus meant being cheap and perhaps even vulgar.
At the helm of the motion picture was Anna Neagle as Sunny O’Sullivan who …

The Legend of Suram Fortress movie
The Armenian visionary filmmaker Sergei Parajanov is one of my favorite directors through all time. The Legend of Suram Fortress is one of his last films. The narrative is very complex and the visual style is like nothing else. The story is about an old armenian myth that took …
The Queens of Comedy (stand-up comedy)

In th e Valley of Elah
I delayed watching the movie “In the Valley of Elah” for some time because I figured that since it had a lot of
A-list actors in it, it might not be a very good movie. Nevertheless, I decided to watch the movie one day when absolutely nothing else worth watching …
Indiscreet movie
Indiscreet is actually my first exposure that I can recall to a young Gloria Swanson, who stars in this 1931 film as Gerry Trent. So much of what I have seen is Swanson decades later and the caricature that is so often parodied on shows like The Carol …

The Blob movie
Mostly famous because an unknown Steve McQeeen plays the leading part. A some sort of monster movie, with a red blob taking over a whole city as it grows. I thought this was a comedy at first, because the dialogue was so corny. Poor Stevie struggles with silly lines …

The Reef (thriller movie)
So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …
The Eye (Movie)
This movie is the American version of the original Japanese version’s The Eye, and I honestly think it was poorly done. The effects were much scarier and of course, the original movie was different from this one as it had omitted parts that were much scarier than by watching …
