The Divergent Series: Insurgent (science fiction adventure movie)
After enjoying the first movie in the Divergent franchise, I was happy to know that there would actually be a sequel. I expected that it might be a lot better than even the first one especially since it would probably have more action and fight scenes. I was also interested …

Mister Roberts movie
I am reviewing the movie, Mister Roberts, which was created back in 1955. Although an oldie, it is definitely a goodie. I accidently came across this movie on television about six years ago, and I immediately was hooked. This movie is filled with brilliant actors, including Henry …

Arabian Nights (1999 Film)
Don’t be fooled by the title of this movie, because the 1999 film “Arabian Nights” holds much more interest and high stakes adventure with a twist of romance and suspense at survival of one’s life, than it appears.
In this film, Scheherazade (played by Mili Avital) is trying desperately …

Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix contains spoilers.

Bewitched (2005)

Beowulf Film
Robert Zemeckis, John Malkovich, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone. A pantheon of names builds this incredibly well recreated story of Beowulf based on the Norse legend of the same name.

Le Havre by Aki Kaurismaki (2011 film)
I’m fairly accustomed to watching subtitled foreign language films, where one mostly gets an education of Cinema’s roots. It is just now that new titles —“ notable ones from last year’s Cannes —“ have popped out way past the editorial reviews and hoopla spewed by publications. Le …

Rocket Science movie
Unlike its title, the movie “Rocket Science” has almost nothing to do with anything scientific. However, I till admit that the plot makes it quite an interesting and unusual teenage film. In fact, I’m still trying to recall right now if I’ve ever seen another film with a similar …

Sucker Punch (2011) Movie
It is odd that I read the synopsis of a movie, get interested in it and then watch it, only to be disappointed in the end. The synopsis for the movie on Netflix calls it a “mind warping action thriller”. Then on top of that very attractive statement it …

Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
While I thought the first Cheaper by the Dozen movie was lame, I did not think that a sequel to it could possibly be just plain silly and a waste of money that could have been put to proper use elsewhere. This time the movie was not just lame, …
Around the World in 80 Days

Devil in a Blue Dress movie
A thriller in an 1940s environment where Denzel Washington plays a freelancing detective with a constant bad luck.
