Movies Reviews
Crazy in Alabama
I don’t know what it is lately, but it seems, whenever I rent a “comedy” it turns out to be a good movie but it is horribly mis-classified.
That’s the case with the movie Crazy in Alabama; which, like many other movies is billed as a funny movie. But, in …
Pride & Prejudice movie
I’ve never read the book Pride & Prejudice before, but after seeing the movie this past weekend, I’m going to consider reading it.
The movie itself wasn’t overly impressive. In fact, it was a bit confusing considering the number of characters I was forced to memorize right off the bat. …
Sheba, Baby (PG, 1975) movie
If you like blaxploitation films you have probably seen this one already. This one, starring Pam Grier as Sheba is one of the classics—-but not necessarily because of its cinematic greatness. Pam plays a private detective who is helping her father fight mobsters. …
Transporter
Up until I saw this film I had not seen any of Jason Statham’s work. Like Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme before him, he has made a movie career solely out of the fact that he knows kung fu.
The writers behind this film weren’t much …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
My review is very so so with this movie. I was so excited to see it because I heard how awesome it was and I am a huge Johnny Depp fan. I had it in my NetFlix queue for ever and was uber excited when they finally sent it …
Amadeus movie
Amadeus is one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen in my life. I love music and this movie has plenty of good music in it. I think that the character of Amadeus Mozart was just great in the movie. I also really liked the way Amadeus …
NOMADLAND, the movie (2020)
The film by Chloe Zhao, who acted as writer, director, producer, and editor, really surprised me. It is an adaptation of Jessica Bruder’s novel of the same name, but it is shot in a documentary style. NOMADLAND was a breath of fresh air for me in the world of glamour, …
Speedway movie
From 1968, Speedway combines the talents of Elvis Presley and Nancy Sinatra. Okay, it’s a so-so plot and we’ve seen it a thousand times, and the characters are stereotyped and not particularly that ‘wow-some’. I don’t think there’s any way you can say that either performer had …
Hope Floats movie
When I first heard the title for this movie I thought it was going to be all about religion. That couldn’t have been further from the truth. What the movie is actually about is this.
Hope Floats stars one of my favorite actresses Sandra Bullock. She plays …
Night Shift (1982) movie
Starring: Michael Keaton, Henry Winkler, Shelley Long, and Clint Howard.
Directed by: Ron Howard.
Henry Winkler plays Chuck, a successful stockbroker turned morgue attendant in New York City. His wife has too many hang-ups, his sex life is almost non-existant, and his life is pretty much boring. However, his main intention …
Juno film
“Juno” is a 2007 film directed by Jason Reitman, and starring Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman. This is a really good movie about a mouthy but obviously smart teenager who becomes pregnant and has to navigate through all the possible courses of action she …
50 First Dates
If placed in the hands of a second-rate screenwriter, certain concepts or premises could fall apart. This movie could easily have been one of those, but expert screenwriting and fine performances by Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler make this a charming, believable movie.
The story centers around Drew, who had …
Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked 2011 Movie
After the first two Chipmunk films, I was a little weary of the theme of the Chipmunks and the Chipettes being lost on a desert island. That was the theme for the Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked released in 2011. The theme of being lost of deserted island has …
Porky’s movie
About a couple of teenagers in the 1950s USA who try to live their way as strippers on the club called Porky’s. The teenagers aren’t appreciated by the owner of this club and are thrown out. Together they plan the most clever revenge for the treachery.
I actually believe this …
The Forbidden Kingdom
How would I don’t give perfect ten for a Jet Li and Jackie Chan’s movie? I must be cursed. This is a story about a West-boy who gets addicted with Chinese culture especially the Kung-Fu technique. He even spent all of his life watching all Bruce Lee’s films. Well, …
Day of the Dead (2008)
This not quite-a-remake of George Romero’s classic zombie film is an odd creature. While it tries its hardest to be its own entity, any daring strides toward individuality are often done away with as the film pulls back for the odd, hollow reference back to the original it’s based …
Movie: Antibodies
The German film Antibodies is one of those films where going in you have no idea what you are going to get. When I saw the cover, which featured a naked man covered in blood in a stark white room I was thinking this was going to be …

Gladiator is the sotry of Maximus (Russel Crowe), a Roman General who leads the forces to conquering Germania for the empire. When a dying Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) tells Maximus that he …
Transformers
When I first learned they were coming out with a live-action Transformers movie, my first thought was �Well, there�s another 80s TV show being ruined.�
From the previews, it looked like one of those films that would rely heavily on special effects and not offer much in terms of plot. …
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
I was very disappointed to see this film listed in the Razzie Awards 2008 because I truly believe it is a great comedy were one can have a good hearty laugh at the misfortuntes of two fellow firefighters, Chuck and Larry. The parts of Chuck and Larry are interpreted …
Annabelle, horror movie (2014)
I was one of the many The Conjuring fans who had bought their Annabelle tickets a week before the show times. With a group of friends rushing to the theater where this supposedly horror-movie-of-the-year would be playing I was nothing less than thrilled. Needless to say the emotions …
Goldfinger movie
My absolute favorite among all the 007 films also ranks among the best thrillers ever made. This time James Bond takes on the villain Goldfinger and his colorful korean servant Oddjob who plan to steal the whole american federal gold reserve in Fort Knox. it is also the first …
Gia (movie)
Gia is a movie about the deceased supermodel, Gia Carangi. Gia is played by Angelina Jolie, and while I am not a personal fan of Angelina Jolie, she does a marvelous performance. Gia is such a troubled soul, from the very start. Gia is not only a smart talking, …
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 1
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a franchise reboot of the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime that came out in 2003-2004. While the original anime deviated from the manga story in the middle of the show because the manga was not finished, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood follows the manga story line much …
Inception: A Film by Christopher Nolan (2010)
When somebody asked me what Inception was about after watching it, I said —“ —˜it’s like in a dream’. I gathered from my friends that the movie was creating a lot of buzz lately. So I went out to watch the film. The screenplay was a …

Apocalypse Now movie

The result of all work is nothing less than a masterpiece with brilliant performances by Martin Sheen and, more than …
The Next Karate Kid
Hilary Swank does a wonderful job as an angst-filled teenager who is in desperate need of Mr. Miagee’s teaching and guidance.
I was always a big fan of The Karate Kid, all three of them in fact. But, I’m a girl, and Danny was a boy. So, as …
Sherlock Holmes Movie
When I heard they were making a Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, I was somewhat interested. But, then I saw the previews for it and thought it would be stupid so I avoided watching it at the theater. And, when I got my DVD …
The Hot Chick Movie
This movie is one of Rob Schneider’s movie and I have seen this a couple of times on HBO already but I still want to watch it every time it’s being shown. It also features Anna Faris and Rachel McAdams when they were still not famous and I really …
Wall-E
I took my family to see Wall-E. We all loved it the robots are so likable and cute. My 5 year old daughter squeals every time she hears the name Wall-E. I had to laugh when I saw the predicted future and I really think it will be like …
Be Kind Rewind dvd
I watched Be Kind Rewind last week starring Jack Black and Mos Def. I had high expectations of this comedy for some reason, I guess the previews just made it look like a great film. As I was attempting to stay awake thru the movie, I kept thinking”No its …
One for the Money (movie)
A couple years ago before one of my relatives died, she recommended that I read the Janet Evanovich novel “One for the Money” as she claimed that I would enjoy it. I was hesitant at first since at the time I was more of a horror fan and we …
Movie Four Brothers
For such a long time I had been meaning to watch Four Brothers. I didn’t get around to actually watching it a few years after it came out. At the time when it first came out I kept hearing people say how much of a good move it …

Richie Rich
“Richie Rich” is one of the most known movies for the actor, Macaulay Culkin but his acting skills in this movie are in no way comparable to the “Home Alone” movies. Culkin has been nominated for the Razzie Awards for his interpretation in this movie.
I recently watched this movie …
Movie 2012
“2012″ will remind you a lot of other big disaster movies, such as “Independence Day” and “The Day After Tomorrow”.
So here’s a little background on the predictions this movie is based around - one of the earliest civilizations - the Mayans, predicted there would be great change to …
Storm Warning
Storm Warning is a movie full of blood, guts and gore. If you are not up for this sort of violence and horror, you do not want to watch Storm Warning! Sometimes I can really appreciate a good horror movie filled with all sort of blood and guts. Recently …
Vaastav Film
Vaastav meaning ‘the fact’ is a remarble film made by Mahesh Manjerekar. The lead has Sanjay Dutt, who accidentally becomes a Don, and the agony of the Don, and the secret pain, that he carries, has been shown effectively by the director. The Don is powerful, yet form inside …
Halloween (2007)
When I think of all the classic horror movies that came out in the late 70s and throughout the 80s and early 90s, the one that always stands out for me is Halloween. For me, Michael Myers is the creepiest killer ever; even worse than Jason or Freddie Krueger.
So, …
The girl next door movie
I watched this movie on Lifetime Movie Network today. It really got my attention and was interesting to watch. Tracy Gold, Sharon Gless, and Tom Irwin play in it. Tracey Gold is the main character in the movie. She meets a policeman and falls in love with him. He …
It’s a Wonderful Life by Frank Capra movie
Like thousands before me, I adore Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I initially only consented to watch the movie because James Stewart played the main role. As a teenager, he was one of my idols, and I watched every movie he played in which I could get my …

District 9 movie
Before I went to see District 9 last Friday in the movie theatre, I actually had no idea what it was going to be about. I had seen the advertisements on television and I had known that it was going to be a Science Fiction film with aliens, and …
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 …

Spotlight (2015 Drama Movie)
