Well, I wasn’t sure what to expect when my wife and I watched the movie Spring Breakdown last night. I didn’t know if it was going to be a chick flick or if it would have a lot of unnecessary sex scenes in it.
It turned out to have neither …

If you’re a studen of history, you probably remember the Greeks. They invented philosophy and democracy and pretty much help the world down for hundreds of years as the supreme rulers. You may also remember the battle of Thermopylae, where three hundred greek soldiers held their own for days …

John Wayne was one of the most patriotic personalities in America. He was devout in his devotion, and he was very vocal. Not everyone agreed with him or liked him, but The Duke put his money where his mouth was, including producing and directing this military picture in …

From 1929, a real oldie, High Voltage features Carole Lombard, whose career was cut much to short by a tragic plane crash many years after this early movie of hers was released. Basically, a bus carrying a couple of woman to prison gets stranded out in a snowstorm …

This is probably one of the most hilarious movies I’ve ever watched. I just love Goldie Hawn and how she portrays the part of a nonsensical washed out actress. I could almost relate to Beth Midler and her insatiable appetite for food and sarcasm. Now, as for Diane Keaton, …

Zac Efron have totally leveled up as he portrayed the role of Charlie St. Cloud in the 2010 movie with the same title, “Charlie St. Cloud”. His portrayal of the role was way too far from the teenage High School Musical, Wild Cats Basketball Captain star.
Directed by Burr Steers …

The stories in which large muscles are combined with a brain of a bird often seem comical, but I feel that a deeper analysis can establish that there is a vast drama concealed in them. The audience members can be deeply mistaken if they think that the term “meathead” …

The Death and Life of Bobby Z is a mediocre movie which has it’s good points and bad points. The initial scenes of the movie are very appealing and interesting and one thinks that we are going to watch a good movie after the initial scenes. But what we …

I have just rented “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” but have not watched it yet. But if the movie is anywhere near as funny as this guy is when he’s in a comedic role, then I am sure that I will be guffawing a lot throughout. …

Last evening I watched the movie Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age.
I usually as a rule like period piece movies. However, I thought even though Cate Blanchett did a good job of acting the part of
Elizabeth the 1st and the costumes were extravagant, the movie was merely mediocre. Some …

When I first saw A Christmas Story a few years ago, I thought it was a great film. Now, after every television station has managed to show it at least a dozen times, I’m a bit burned out on it.
Overall, this is a unique holiday film in the sense …

Harrison Ford starred as the President of the United States in Air Force One, a 1997 action thriller. The picture was full of fine performers: Glenn Close, Paul Guilfoyle, William H. Macy, Dean Stockwell, and Gary Oldman, just to name a few. It was high on adventure …

I thought this movie was extremely entertaining. Rob Gordon, (expertly portrayed by John Cusack) is in the midst of a nasty split from his current girlfriend, Laura (played by Iben Hjejle, best of luck pronouncing that!). He is mad at the world and cannot understand why he cannot succeeed …

Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore do a wonderful job in pulling off this bright comedy about a couple trying to survive their first home owner’s experience. I thought this film was playful, funny and even a bit telling in how we all sometimes fall for things that are too good …

I went to watch Strange Wilderness before with my best friend and we were just choosing it at random. The cast is pretty unknown to us except for Steve Zahn, which I couldn’t quite put a name to him. And if you are trying to find Bigfoot, you …

Since some of theatre in my city was fired several years ago, people in my city really really thirsty going to the cinema because it’s only one theatre left and it’s too old and only can play one movie. at that time I’m so left behind to watch a …

This movie was better than the first one. There were downsides to it however. For instance, the camera shots were for the most part unoriginal. Could you do better than having a bloodied zombie-faced possessed person grab the camera and make faces? The blocking was …

I’ve enjoyed every Hunger Games movie that’s released thus far. I enjoy the franchise so much that I even read the books. When I went to watch The Hunger Games Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014) in theatres, I hoped that this movie would live up to my expectations. I …

The Science of Sleep, starring Gael Garcia Bernal (of “Y Tu Mama Tambien”) is a very strange film directed by Michel Gondry (who also directed “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”). The film follows a young man who happens to fancy his neightbor Stephanie.
The beauty of this film …

I bought this movie when it came out and I am glad I did. It’s not as good as the notebook but it is a really good movie and a good romantic story. Keanu Reeves plays a guy who moves into this lake house which this girl played by …

I watched this movie yesterday and the ending today. Overall it was pretty good. It was more of a documentary about a young boy who goes off into the wild and lives on his own. He burns all of his identification.
I thought it was pretty good overall. It was …

I am reviewing the Christmas movie, The Polar Express, which was released in 2004. Tom Hanks stars in this animated movie about the magic of Christmas. It’s about a little boy who is having doubts about the existence of Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve, he embarks on a magical …

Wrestling With Shadows directed by Paul Jay is one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen, at first glance you assume the movie is a simple production which follows a wrestler on a day to day basis and chronicles his trouble. However, after watching the movie you …

This quirky little movie stars one of my favorite actresses, Natasha Gregson Wagner. There is something insipid and coy about the roles she tends to play. And her stuffy, rebellious role of “Violet” in this movie is no different. This film is sort of a cat …

A very realistic film about british working class misery. The director Ken Loach, well known for this way of showing his sympathy for the poor and unfortunate people of society, gives a very clear and heartbreaking picture of a young boy who slowly falls into criminality. The actors are …

I sat down to watch the third Resident Evil movie last night; Extinction. While I thought it was an OK movie, I think they might have taken the series a bit too far.
The first thing I really didn’t like about that movie is the fact about half the main …

I have recently discovered Gargoyles, a lesser known Disney’s animated series, and I am now hooked. This show is excellent. I so wish Disney would resume making it!
The storyline is rich and complex. It begins in 994 A.D. Scotland, introducing us to a clan of gargoyles powerful …

In 1946, the motion picture People Are Funny was released. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it went on to become a successful TV show. In fact, that host, Art Linkletter, appears as himself in the movie.
In a sense, the movie provides a background for the …

I have a confession. When it comes to movies I�m a huge pushover for vampire films. It doesn�t matter whether they are a blockbuster hit or some B-rated movie on the bargain rack at the video store, I want to see it.
So, when I was surfing through the movie …

“Blue Jasmine” was one of those movies that I had neither seen nor heard anything about until I had seen being aired on Starz Cinema. I mostly ignored it for a time but decided to take a chance on it when I saw that the cast had Cate Blanchett …

Oh I love this movie ! The chemistry between the characters is apparent during the film and I love the story line and plot; the characters are round and not two dimensional, in other words there is a lot to uncover about the characters as the story moves on. …

The classic musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, originally based on a novel by T.S. Eliot, here transferred to the cinema.
I think it was a very colorful thing to look at, and some of the songs are unforgettable, but overall I think this felt more like a filmed musical stage …

Pretty good movie based on a decent book.
I enjoyed this movie more than I expected to. Julia Roberts isn’t my favorite actor, although I think in the case of Liz Gilbert, she was probably the best choice. I also enjoyed the movie more than I did the …

I watched this movie not to long ago. Tom Hanks, Amy Adams, Julia Roberts all played in Charlie Wilson’s War. It was about the cold war, Afghanistan and Russia. It was entertaining and kept me interested the whole movie. I think it probably could have ended better. I felt …

The Muppet Christmas Carol is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I did not expect to like it so much when I had first rented it out. First of all, I was not sure whether the muppets would handle the timeless classic with enough reverence; secondly it is a …

After his belated return to his roots with Land of the Dead a few years prior, Romero turns prolific once more with Diary of the Dead; an interesting take on the genre with a hand held, documentary tactic employed perhaps most famously with Cloverfield.
It’s an interesting idea, and …

“Capitalism: A Love Story” is Michael Moore’s newest documentary. And in true Michael Moore fashion it does not disappoint. Not many movies get a round of applause at the theater, but this one did. This was a great movie. My boyfriend was on the edge …
