A Man Apart
A Man Apart is a movie directed by F. Gary Gray. It’s about a man (Vin Diesel) who is a DEA agent who sets out to look for the person that killed his wife (the biggest movie clich ever) but in the middle of his cold hearted revenge, he …
Surviving Desire movie
Inventive independent filmmaker Hal Hartley here gives us a story focused around lonely people who try their best not the appear lonely. A young girl who works at the local library falls in love with a young man who comes there to visit.
A rather simple story that doesn’t have …
The Wedding Planner movie
This movie depicts many woman’s ideal job. It would be fun, in my opinion, to plan the perfect wedding, nailing down every detail, including the perfect best man’s speech.
In this movie, JLo’s character is the best wedding planner at one of the top wedding planning companies. She is thought …
Fracture
Anthony Hopkins has played so many villains, I think I have lost count. Here he appears as one again, intelligent, scheming, cold-blooded - just the way you like him. The movie “Fracture” (released in 2007) drew me in from the start, and from the start I knew it was …
Them! (1954)
One of the great things about 1950s monster movies is you can always expect some sort of mutant creature created by radiation.
The movie Them! is definitely a perfect example of movies like that.
Overall, Them is an Ok movie. It’s really not that scary or even suspensful. But, what it …
The Answer Man - Movie on DVD
Some movies I enjoy because they are well made. They either have superior production values, such as “The Pirates of the Caribbean” series, or the plots are exciting, or the actors are engaging. Then there are some movies that I elevate to a special class: those that have something …
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 …
Pacific Heights
Lately I have been watching movies on lifetime and lifetime movie network and most of them have been pretty good. One that I want to recommend is called Pacific Heights. It has Melanie Griffith and Micheal Keaton in it. It’s about a guy who rents a room from this …
Men In Black
The original Men In Black was an excellent comedic action movie and a welcome twist on the all to common genre of alien movies. The comedy throughout this movie was real comedy, not the non-stop attempts at slapstick or idiotic humor that have begun to plague comedies as of …
Scooby Doo and the Loch Ness Monster
The movie Scooby Doo and the Loch Ness Monster has been out for a few years now but I didn’t get an opportunity to watch it until this past weekend, when my daughter bought it at a local movie store that is going out of business.
I will admit, the …

Mirrors
Mirrors looked like scary and it is actually, in certain areas of the movie story. I watched it alone actually and Kiefer Sutherland played the lead. This movie is actually a remake of a Korean movie actually, having the title Mirrors too.
What is the story about actually..? …
Princess Diaries Movie
When this movie came out, Anne Hathaway was pretty young. She was playing a sixteen year old who has no idea that she is a princess in a royal court. In school, she is not popular at all. She has really frizzy afro-like hair and the only person she …
G-Force movie
This movie is about guinnea pigs having the skills to be secret agents. As most of the ’superhero type’ movies, they are there to save the world from threat or destruction.
The movie is basically for kids. The main characters were presented in a ‘cute’ manner. The …
Garbage Pail Kids movie
I am now going to review a horrible movie called Garbage Pail Kids.Before, I get into reviewing,let me give a little explanation why it was made. A big thing in the 80s was a fad involving a series of trading cards targeted to kids called the garbage pail kids.These …
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
It’s really a shame that I never had a film of Harry Potter with the status of a perfect movie. Each story is so strong, before or after you have never truly inclusive workplace. Of course, the three-ACT-structure can be used, but no information or knowledge to come, but …
Movie The Weatherman
We watched a movie the other night with Nicholas Gage in it. Although I like Nicholas Cage as an actor this was not one of his better movies.
I did not like the defeative attitude of the chaacchter that he played. He was a weatherman who …
The Bourne Ultimatum
The Bourne Ultimatum is the last and final chapter in the Bourne series. Also, in my opinion, the best of the trilogy. This last statement is saying a lot because I really LOVED the first two movies in the series. I though they were some of …
Picture Perfect
I admit that “Picture Perfect” is one of my favourite Jennifer Aniston movies. This movie is very different from the typical romantic movie as it has a very original story. The main actors, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Bacon and Jay Mohr interpret their role in an exception manner.
“Picture Perfect” is …
The International film
This is the latest film that I watched. This movie is really a masterpiece and will be remembered for the stunning performance by Clive Owen and the untouched script.
The movie is mainly based on the world of international crimes and how international banks helped them. I never thought that …
Almost Famous movie
This is my favorite movie of all time. I first watched it many years ago, when I was working at a video store and allowed to take home movies in the afternoon. I was, for the entire length of the movie completely enraptured. Since then, I …
The Raid Redemption (2011 movie)
I am a fan of international movies, so when I saw this movie called The Raid Redemption, I immediately looked it up in Youtube to look at the trailer. I liked it, and then proceeded to watch the movie. This movie stars Indonesian actors and was written and produced …
Waiting, movie
It might be a bit much for a more grown up audience, but “Waiting” does have its good moments and brings up the feelings that almost everyone goes through at one time or another when they don’t know where they’re going in life. Ryan Reynolds’s is charming, Dane Cook …
The mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Rick O’Connell is back but this time, without his original lady love “Edie” (Rachel Weisz) I had mixed emotions regarding this latest installment. While I love Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, I feel that they should not have made another one. In any case, this is my review:
The plot: …
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014 Film)
When someone says transformers, instantly what comes to mind is a league of cars that can transform themselves into robots that are called Autobots. I may not have grown up playing with the toys and video games, but I can appreciate the live action films. So to say, I was …
State of Play the Movie
With Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck and Helen Mirren in the cast, it is hard to go wrong with it. The story revolves around a congressman who had an affair with his researcher who gets killed. I love Ben Affleck’s acting here, especially when he was announcing into one of …
Forever Strong
There used to be a time when I loved sports movies like Remember the Titans or We Are Marshall but then I came to realize they are all the same; they use some sport to teach kids confidence and give a quick lesson about life.
I had hoped the movie …
Film 1408
I had been looking forward to the big screen adaption of Stephen King’s excellent short story 1408 from his collection Everything’s Eventual. I’d heard quite a few positive reviews and heard that it didn’t do too bad at the box office either, which was unexpected and hopefully a good …
Fame (2009 movie)
I didn’t jump at watching the movie Fame like a few of the younger people I know did, because I could remember watching the television series from the eighties in the early nineties when I was a little girl; and based on what I saw when the movie …
Boys Don’t Cry
Boys Don’t Cry is a graphic, violent, emotional account of a true story, the story of Brandon Teena or Teena Brandon. Teena Brandon was born a girl, but somewhere along the way she decided that she wanted to be a boy so she changed her name to Brandon Teena …
Under The Tuscan Sun-Diane Lane
I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it at a friend’s house, and liked it enough that I bought the DVD rather than just borrowing it from my friend. I especially liked the imagery of some of the main character’s lines, as well as the idea of just up …

The Plan: A jewel heist planned by George, second in command, Ken, a Con Artist name Wanda for which the money is based on, and the weapons expert, Otto. These individuals come together and masterminded a wonder theft, but afterwards, they had a difference of opinion as to how …
Salt the Movie
Salt is actually both simple and hard to examine —“ and for that same cause. That cause is which Salt is really a business choice movie as well as from which perspective this works pretty much. But that does mean that it’s completely emptiness of innovative spark.
This is actually …
Bulletproof monk Chow Yun-Fat
This is a great light hearted action flick. I love Chow Yun-Fat as an actor and he was wonderful in this movie. I enjoyed the mythical martial art stunts of the characters. It is based on a comic book about a Tibetan monk who starts to mentor a young …
Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)
This is the story of a priest that encountered evil times while serving in World War II, things that left him to question his faith, things that to this day still haunts him. He has chosen a different profession and is now a respected and noted archeologist, while on …
Johnny Guitar movie
This anti-western by inventive Hollywood filmmaker Nicholas Ray, tells the story of a western hero called Johnny “Guitar” Logan, who much rather plays music instead of shooting down people with guns. The storyline and narrative is daring and unusual for the time. Johnny Guitar was made in the 1950s …
Film Mary Poppins
One of the most magical films ever made, and also one of those entertaining ones that magage to make a point about life besides, Disney’s Mary Poppins truly never ages but can be enjoyed equally as much as an adult as when a child. Actually, there are things in …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I recently watched Pan’s Labyrinth. First I must say that I rarely enjoy movies that I have to read the subtitles. If I wanted to read something it would be a book or a magazine or even a website. There I can go at my own pace and read …
Nim’s Island (2008) Movie
The plot of Nim’s Island is very simple and quite predictable. I only watched it because I liked the cast and I especially expected nothing short of great from Abigail Breslin who played Nim.
The story was really geared towards children with its fantastical theme and Nim’s animal friends. …

Jingle all the way is a Christmas film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.He plays a guy named Howard Langston Jingle All the WAY is about a father,Howard Langston not spending enough time with his son Jamie and his wife named Liz..However,near Christmas day,Howard desires to decides to mend his …
Prince of Persia,The Sands of Time (2010)
I saw this movie 2 weeks after it came out, because there were a lot of people and the queue lines were long in the theaters!
I absolutely love the Prince of Persia games, and I have played almost all of them except for the latest one, Prince of …
Miss Conception
I had never heard of the movie Miss Conception until I came acrossed it on Netflix the other day. And, to be honest, when I decided to get it, I didn’t have any idea what it was I was getting.
As it turns out, it was actually a pretty good …
Mother knows Best movie (1997)
This movie should not be confused with another film that was released in the late nineteen twenties. I actually saw this film on Lifetime some time ago and heard it was based on a true story even though I’m not completely sure how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ve read …
The Rocketeer, movie (1991)

The Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen movie
Tex Ritter starred as Tex Martin in The Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen, a typical singing western for its generation. In this movie, he uses a guitar quite a bit. This movie does indeed have several songs in it.
The drama begins when Tex and his current sidekick …
Notes on a Scandal
I didn’t quite know what to expect with this one. Cate Blanchett is one of my favorite actresses, capable of assuming all sorts of roles. Her role as a pedophile (essentially), teacher having an affair with one of her students was rather shocking. But …
