Alice in Wonderland movie
I will be honest, I have never even seen the first Alice in Wonderland. I wasn’t even planning on watching this one, but my boyfriend bought it on Blu-Ray and Blu-Rays are pretty expensive so I figured I would watch it with him so he wasn’t wasting his money. …
Movie: Open Graves
I don’t know why I bother taping “horror” films off of the SyFy channel. Yes, occasionally, they will have a decent one. But, more often than not, the movies are actually pretty darn terrible.
The film Open Graves is a good example of that.
I DVR’d this film back in February …

Slumdog Millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire for me is one of the best films for 2008. The movie is about a young Indian teen who lived in the slums and was invited to join in “Who Wants to Be A Millionaire” India. The teen was arrested by the Police on the suspicion that …
Battle Los Angeles: Movie
Battle Los Angeles is a decent film, not amazing, but certainly worth watching for anyone interested in the action genre.
Since I watched the disappointing “Monsters” a few months ago, BLA gave me hope for a good alien invasion picture. I was slightly disappointed I have to admit.
The story isn’t …
Private Eyes movie
My son is at an age where he is starting to appreciate more than just animated movies. So, over the course of the Halloween season, he was introduced to some of our favorite ghost and mystery comedies.
One of the films we watched was Private Eyes, starring Tim Conway …
Tomorrow Never Dies movie
The second appearance of Pierce Brosnan made me confident the James Bond film series was never going to end. Although the creators ran out of Ian Fleming novels and made up the story on their own, it is actually rather thrilling with a lot of breathtaking action sequences and …
Movie: “Brokeback Mountain”
Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain is a masterpiece that lingers with you long after the movie is over. I had read Annie Proulx’ short story of the same name four times before the movie reached my area. I’d been reading reviews since it was first released December 9, …
Menace II Society (1993)
Menace II Society, directed by Albert Hughes and Allen Hughes is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong violence, drug use and language. The original release date was May 26, 1993 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Crime/Drama and stars …
Winter Sonata movie
I can say that I really love this Winter Sonata, Korean Drama. The story itself was a romantic love story. But since it is a long drama story, you can not really guess easily what is the plot of the movie. You really need to follow each step or …
The Perfect Storm movie
With a cast of actors such as George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Diane Lane, the movie “The Perfect Storm” had a certain guarantee to be a good movie. I must say that after watching it, what really stole the scene in this movie are the extraordinary special effects. It …

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
For the first time in my life, I have never watched a movie that is so depressing. I had never gotten over it until after a day when I’ve watched it. I really felt for the old men in the movie Glengarry Glen Ross which was filmed …
Thirteen Ghosts
The movie formula for Thirteen Ghosts works for me. I love the plot and though it’s a bit nonsensical to see these ghosts lurking with their weird designs and features, but it’s still a bonus to watch this.
I felt that this movie is like one of its …
Mrs. Doubtfire
A lovable, but irresponsible father of three finds himself torn away from his three kids after a messy divorce. Desperate to see them more the occasional Saturday granted by the judge, Daniel (Robin Williams) goes to extreme lengths, donning the convincing disguise of an elderly Scottish woman, getting the …
9 To 5
At the heart of this movie is a sexist jerk of a boss, played by Dabney Coleman. The soul of the story is divided into three: Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton (her first film), and Jane Fonda. Lily is the office manager, Dolly the creepy boss’ secretary, and Jane is …

This movie is inspired by real events, it features Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, a famous boxer who is wrongly imprisoned for murder; in prison he writes a book about this terrible ordeal that he has to endure in which he goes to prison although he is really innocent and there …
10 Things i Hate About You
10 things i hate about you was the breakout vehicle for the at the time unknown future stars Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. The movie is, at its heart, a romantic comedy, but what’s truly great about this movie is that it doesn’t tend to follow the usual stereotypes …
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
There was a big buzz on the internet months before —˜The Blair Witch Project’ was released in the cinema in 1999. Prior to making the movie, the director and writer, Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez, had made a documentary purporting to be real, involving eye witness accounts and …

Brother Bear
This is one of my favorite animated movies. I love to watch this movie with my younger sister. It’s a great movie for the whole family and enjoyable to watch. It kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. There were plenty of parts that made me really …
Movie: Kung Fu Panda
“Kung Fu Panda” is a 2008 animated film about Po, a fat noodle-selling Panda in China who loves kung fu and dreams of a more exciting life. It is a Dreamworks film, which means it has some decent animation but falls far short of a Pixar movie.
Pros: …
The 40-Year-Old Version
This must be one of the filthiest comedy flicks out there - if I may call it comedy; make it one bit dirtier, and you’d be talking about porn. I am shocked to see some established reviewers praise this trash as not only funny but “sweet” and even “innocent.” …
The Movie Open Range (2003)
As far as actors go I think Kevin Costner is okay. He is not my favorite but he does do well in some movies. I thought he did okay in Dances with Wolves and since I do like a good western ( note I said good i.e. Pale …
American Sniper (biographical drama movie)
I realise I’m more than a little late, but I only recently heard the story about the legenday American Sniper Chris Kyle, and the movie that was made based on the book he wrote “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History”. was encouraged …
Black Mass- Movie
So I am so into Benedict Cumberbatch right now that I am a Cumberbtch myself so I wanted to watch every movie he’s in so now, I will be giving you my review about the movie Black Mass. The movie was released just last year of October, 2015. I also …
Leaving Las Vegas movie
Leaving Las Vegas is probably the most tragic movie I have ever seen, but at the same time it is strangely uplifting on another level. It is the story of two broken souls that come across each other at their lowest point and see the similarity, see something in …
The Day the Earth Stood Still
OK, when I watch a science fiction movie, I expect space aliens to be aggressive and to desire taking over our planet. I don’t want them to come here to be our friends (unless of course that happens in real life).
That’s why the movie The Day the Earth Stood …
Netflix
I’ve been a member of Netflix for a little over a year. I am on the 3-at-a-time package for about $18 a month, and it seems to be the right one for me. I love getting movies in the mail and being able to watch them instantly. If I …
Sex and The City 2 (2010 movie)
A group of my friends and I went to see this movie last week. Some of my friends had already seen it but were looking forward to seeing it for the second time, so I figured I would enjoy it.
This movie was fun to watch. The characters were pretty …
The Interrogation movie

Flawless (R, 1999) movie
I had skipped over this film in my Netflix queue for a long time. Thre was something about seeing Phillip Seymour Hoffman playing a gay drag queen that kept me from bumping it up in the queue. Then I rented it finally. Robert DeNiro is …
King Kong Movie
I recently went to go see King Kong at a movie theatre. It was everything I expected. King Kong was full of action, suspense and romance. This movie protrays the well known saying, “beauty killed the beast.” King Kong is one of the best movies in 2005. And anyone …
Ghost Rider
Somewhere down the line, Hollywood thought Nick Cage would make a good action star. I’m sorry, but that logic is flawed and the movie Ghost Rider proves it.
Overall, Ghost Rider is a good film; or, at very least, a unique one. Cage plays a stuntman who makes a deal …
Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End
Pirates 1 and 2 were sufficient movies, but perhaps they were riding too much on the originality factor. Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End really feels done before. With the same cast of characters, and dozens more, Pirates 3 seems like a 3 hour family reunion during …
Rambo, First Blood
They attempted a couple of sequels for the movie Rambo, First Blood, but they have never managed to copy what became a classic film and one I absolutely love.
The great thing about this movie, which features a Vietnam War Veteran who holds a town hostage after a run in …
Corpse Bride (movie)
Corpse Bride is a 2005 animation, fantasy and musical movie directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson. I decided to watch this movie after I watched Coraline, which was one of the best animation movies that entertained me really well. The reason why I linked this movie to Coraline …
Grindhouse
Grindhouse is a film featuring 2 films in one, Planet Terror, and Death Proof. Planet Terror was directed by Robert Rodriguez, Death Proof directed by Tarantino, the style of both films is that of old fashion horror movies, Planet Terror stars Rose McGowen and Bruce Willis, it’s a zombie …
Hotel Rwanda movie
Depicting the horrible massacre in Rwanda in the 1990s, this film features an excellent Don Cheadle as the man who tries to save as many people from being killed as he can. Unfortunately, the film focuses all to much on the mere sentimental parts, and leaves the audience practically …
Mr. Brooks (2007)
Ah, Mr. Brooks…this is a movie I can wrap my mind around and just linger in for awhile. A very nice psychotic drama featuring the ever talented Kevin Costner as the mass murdering serial killer Earl Brooks. I finer film this year under the genre of crime has yet …
Beyond Enemy Lines movie
Finnish war movie based on real events during World War II. A couple of finnish soldier and their struggle inte the so called “winter war” against the russians. Fictional material is combined with authentic scenes of the war. Even though this is a low budget film with amateur actors, …
2 Fast 2 Furious Movie 2003
When it comes to car chase movies, Fast and Furious movies have taken them to a whole new level. While they don’t really fall under some of my favorite films that I go out of my way to watch, they have great looking cars and cool car chases to …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I think I mentioned once before that I have a huge crush on actress Isla Fisher. In fact, she’s the only reason I took the time to watch the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic because I figured it would end up being a corny and boring chick flick.
However, the …
Interstellar, movie
As a big fan of science fiction with cosmic themes, I decided to watch Interstellar despite the busy exam period. In the end, the movie absolutely worth the ticket price. If you are also a big fan of science fiction, do not read my review anymore and go watch …
X-Men 3: The Last Stand [movie]
I went to this movie with high hopes that, even though the director of the first two films had left for “Superman Returns”, it would still be just as good as the first two. I was sorely dissapointed in the movie’s treatment of it’s characters, overall story, and …
Death Note, Netflix movie
This movie, created by Netflix, is a live action take on the anime Death Note. I will say right now that the anime version is easily one of my favorite shows, and when I heard that Netflix was creating this I was excited but didn’t really expect much from it. …
Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake (2007)
Possibly one of the worst remakes of all time, this movie sank like a stone to the bottom of the river. Unlike the John Carpenter Masterpiece of 1978, this remake just fails. Where the original movie was a masterpiece, this updated cellophane garbage is a huge cinematic failure. …
Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
OK, I’ll admit it. When Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle came out, I figured it was going to be a very stupid movie and didn’t take the time to watch it.
But, last night, on a hunch, I gave it a try. And, I have to say I …
P S I love you drama
One thing I said about this movie is, no movie can make my tears fall down from beginning till the end except this movie!!.It’s very sad movie but very very romantic.
