Batman Forever 1995 Movie
This version of Batman was correctly named. Batman Forever. It should have been forgotten Forever. Because this was the worst of all the current Batman movies to come out in the last 20 to 30 years. It was released in 1995 and never should have left the drawing board. …
Haunted Mansion (2003)
Honestly, I just find Nathaniel Parker cute that’s why I finished this movie and wishing I had been Marsha Thomason just to snatch that role. Yes, this is a funny movie but I was wondering why Walt Disney Pictures, or anyone else who has been part of making …

Rocky 5
Rocky 5 with Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, and Tommy Morrison.
Many have called this the worst Rocky sequel. I would have to agree with this rating, but even the worst is not that bad in this case. The characters stay true to form …
Alice in Wonderland Movie (2010)
Alice in Wonderland was my favorite cartoon movie before, and I would always dream and wished I was Alice so I could eat the cookies and drink the potion that would make me smaller or bigger than my average size. I wanted to be Alice when I was a …
Kingsman: The Secret Service
‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ is an action comedy film. It’s a film that has been done extremely well and it was truly a treat to have been able to watch it in theatres. There’s enough action and comedy in the movie to ensure that boredom doesn’t set it. The storyline …
Movie Grind
Grind (2003) is a comedy directed by Casey La Scala and is rated PG-13 for crude humor, sexual content, and language.
Grind is about a group of four skateboarders who have just graduated and aren’t really sure what they want to do with their life except skate. They decide …
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
“Pirates” is simply one of those movies that will not be off the current younger generation’s top films list. For me (and many others, I suspect), it was gateway into now-legendary actor Johnny Depp’s career. The guy’s performance in this movie, while not a magnum opus, no doubt reveals …
The Postman movie
The Postman has got to rank as one of the better movies I have watched in the 90’s. I have read a lot of articles stating negative reviews but I guess we’re all entitled to our own opinion so I still suggest you give this movie a shot. It …

Seven Year Itch, movie (1955)
Despite over fifty years passing since her death, Marilyn Monroe remains one of cinema’s most renown blonde bombshells. Her sex symbol status was no mystery to me. She had the look that would stop traffic. With Seven Year Itch, she gave film one of its most …
Death of a Hollow Man movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Death of a Hollow Man, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles. This movie was made in 1998, was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based off of the Tom Barnaby novels by Caroline Graham.
In Death of a Hollow Man, …

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Movie
I always thought that movies based on books are rarely better than the book itself. It is indeed difficult to put in live screen what words have described. For me, the best books that could be made into a movie are the fantasy movies because the imagination is always …
Hard Rain movie
The idea of Hard Rain is quite simple: a storm has caused a whole town to be overflooded which results in chaos for an armored truck guard played by Christian Slater. He is forced to hide the money from his truck not to risk it getting stolen, but is …
81st Annual Academy Awards Night

Movie Superman Returns

Dallas Buyers Club (movie)
It’s that time of year again when awards ceremonies such as the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes honour spectacular achievement in films released over the past year. As someone who considers myself as an artistic person and a film buff who desires to go into the business someday, …
The Four Feathers movie
I kept getting this movie from the library and neglecting to watch it, because for some reason I thought that it looked boring. Then, when I finally got down to watch it, I could not leave the couch for anything and miss a few moments of that movie. It …
Stomp The Yard Movie
My brother recommended that I watch this movie since I loved dancing, and upon watching it I was first bored as the steps were quite robotic and it was so “formal”, the setting was in a university and it was quite different like cheerdancing is different to cheerleading, it …
Big Fish movie
“Big Fish” is a very unique film starring Ewan McGregor. When I say unique, I really mean unique. It is a very hard film to describe without spoiling the plot.
Pros: Tim Burton certainly used all of his creative juices in directing this film. The film includes …
Movie Grace is Gone
I am reviewing the movie, Grace is Gone, starring John Crusack. So there’s this ordinary, down to earth guy. He works at a store. His wife is a soldier who got called away to Iraq. They have two little girls. The guy is forced to raise his two …
The Amityville Horror (1979), movie
The original tale of the Amityville horror is one of the best haunted house movies around, and it’s a personal favorite because it manages to pull off a great scare without useless killings and excessive blood. This is the type of movie that reminds us all, how horror movies …
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
This is probably one of my fewest most favorite films of all time! Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind is a fictional movie that basically gravitates around the idea about love. Played by the phenomenal Jim Carrey as Joel Barish and the versatile Kate Winslet as Clementine. The plot …
Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire
With the next movie franchise coming out soon, I decided to update myself on the Harry Potter series. Sadly though, I was not as fascinated as I should be with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I loved the book, mind you, but I hated the movie. First …
Movie, The Imitation Game
I stumbled upon reading in advance about our Philosophy subject and I read something about the Turing Test. That made me think of the movie I just watched. Alan Turing is the main character of the movie The Imitation Game and he is also the same Turing in the Turing …
17 Again movie
The choice of actor Zack Efron to do the movie ‘17 Again’ really caught me by surprise. After finish working on the last movie of ‘High School Musical’, Efron declared that he wanted to work on movies with far more challenging roles. In all honestly, I found that there …
Do The Right Thing movie
This is a film by the talented Spike Lee and in my opinion his best film to date. A film about rascism and prejudice, how the true nature of these issues actually looks like. Spike Lee doesn’t choose his side here. All fractions of a society in america are …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
This trilogy sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean is called At World’s End. I watched it last week with my boyfriend, my sister and her boyfriend. My sister’s boyfriend and I were having sort of like a heated debate over this trilogy, and I just didn’t get …
Return Of The Vampire Columbia Tri-Star DVD
Bela Lugosi is once again out for blood in Return Of The Vampire, produced in 1944 by Columbia pictures. This is one of my favorite vampire movies, and I still remember seeing it on late night TV in my youth.
Lugosi plays Armand Tesla, the “depraved Romanian scientist” …
Hard Candy movie
There are few movies which can frazzle me. I typically can shrug off any gore or suspense thrown my way. I’m not easily affected. However, every so often, a movie comes along that picks me up, slaps me in the face, twirls me around and then …
Grindhouse
Grindhouse had to be one of the most disappointing movies I have ever witnessed. This is not because the film was awful, just that it was (for lack of a better word) a firmly average film that did not really offer anything new to the horror genre. The idea …
Valentine’s Day movie
The movie Valentine’s Day is named perfectly and this movie truly qualifies as a romantic comedy in true sense. It has been a while that I have seen such a multi starrer movie. In my opinion the star casting of this movie is working mostly to its advantage. But …
Youth in Revolt (Movie 2010)
They say there is always a first time for everything, and Michael Cera totally banged it in this movie! Youth in Revolt is about a sex-obsessed, virgin named Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) who falls in love with a very sweet yet manipulative girl named Shinee Saunders (Portia Doubleday). Their …
Faster with Dwyane Johnson( The Rock) movie
This movie is definitely a must see. It starts out with showing Dwyane Johnson in prisoner and you begin to wonder why is he in prisoner, but as you watch it you realize that there is more to this than meets the eye. Basically, what it’s about is …
Rush Hour 3
It lives up to the name of rush hour and rush hour 2. If you watched the first two and liked them you will like this one. It’s a great comedy. They are both hilarious in the movie yet once again. It’s also not just a couple of funny …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
The classic Alice in Wonderlan of 1951 is brought back to life through a Tim Burton’s remake. It is a mixture of the classic Alice in the Wonderland and “Through the Looking Glass”, with some twists. The adaptation revolves around a 19 year old Alice, at a crossroads of …
King of the Hill Season 5
King of the Hill season 5 has some high points and also some low points. The series follows all American guy Hank Hill, his wife Peggy, son Bobby, niece Luanne and his friends and neighbors. In this season Bobby is still having some “problems” as Hank would say, but …
Film A Good Year
A Good Year is a real feel good film, just like the title suggests. Russell Crow plays the lead and I actually like him in this film. He does a great English accent and plays a hard hearted, workaholic, money hungry city trader to perfection. His character doesn’t seem …
Scream 4 Movie
The Scream trilogy that was hugely successful in the late 90’s and early 2000’s makes its much anticipated return to the big screen. Sydney Prescott, now a best selling author returns to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour on 10th anniversary of the last string of …
Film Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Living in the shadow of its critically accalimed sibling Mary Poppins, Disney’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks has often gotten a pretty unfair deal. Critics have been apt to compare it unfavorably to Mary Poppins, citing that it is unable to conjure the same magic even though it concerns an apprentice …
Mongolian Chop Squad
Hi my name is Mark and I am an anime fan, I do collect and buy anime series whenever I get my salary. Usually I buy 1 or 2 DVD’s depending on my budget because I have an obligation to my family. Eversince I started watching Japanese cartoons or …
Danville Stadium Cinemas, Danville Virginia
The Georgia Theatre Company operates many movie theatres in the southern areas of the United States, and Virginia is no exception. The only theater provided in the Danville, VA area is the Danville Stadium Cinemas 12 (although I’m unsure of why the name is plural).
As the Danville Stadium is …
Material Girls
“Material Girls” is the movie where we see Hilary Duff together with her sister, Haylie for the first time on big screen. I must admit that they make a cute duo as they try to put their heads together while their lives fall apart!
The story of “Material Girls” is …
Three Kings movie
“Three Kings” movie has a brilliant story woven between tension, terror, emotions and drama. This movie represents George Clooney in his early stages of his carrier on the big screen and definitely a very promising start. This is the first out of two movies were Clooney and the actor, …

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 …
