Red Box DVD Rental Kiosk
What initially began appearing inside Giant and Shoppers grocery marts, the “Red Box,” are now emerging in increasing numbers and outside convenient stores, such as the 7-Eleven in walking distance of my home. These tall, red-colored ATM-like DVD rental kiosks provide the customer with an inexpensive and convenient …
Movie UP
Brilliant; refreshing; fun for the whole family. Need I say more?
Disney & Pixar Animation Studios have out done themselves yet again. Packed with adventure, GOOD moral values, and family friendly humor, this movie easily captivates one’s imagination. Most importantly, however, not only will the children be entertained, but the …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Unless you read reviews on the 2010 Alice in Wonderland, you may feel a little cheated. Because it’s not a straight adaptation of the Lewis Caroll film. Instead it’s a sequel. Alice is all grown up and returns to Wonderland.
The movie itself was okay. Nothing …
Final Cut (PG-13, 2004) movie
Robin Williams has been starring in some really interesting films lately. First there was “One Hour Photo” in which he played a lonely psychopathic photo developer. That movie was jarring because you never think that a person who serves others in the community on a regular …
Cast Away (Tom Hanks, 2000)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who usually does a good job, and starring Tom Hanks. Usually Tom does a good job too, but this movie didn’t work for me. I didn’t like it for many reasons, but it wasn’t the actors or the director at fault: it …
Children of Men
A movie that deals with a serious subject in the future of how the human race is unable to reproduce itself anymore. The world is in chaos, every country is in war with themselves except for England where refugees flee to escape the apocalypse. A man is involved in …

Talladega Nights : The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Last weekend I went to go see Talladega Nights : The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I went to go see it on opening night and the theater was packed. My friends and I actually wanted to go to any early show but they were sold out so we had …
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning Movie
A kind of parody that makes fun of science fiction series, Star Trek in front of all. About a Captain named Pirk who travels back in time the save the human kind. The people he meets find him difficult to believe in and obviously thinks he is come kind …
Devour Movie (2005)
When I saw Jensen Ackles in this movie, I immediately wanted to watch it as he’s really a great actor in Supernatural and he’s one of my favorites. This movie is a horror/suspense movie and it’s actually quite disappointing; the only compensation is that the actor is handsome and …
The Island movie
If there ever was a movie that made you think about cloning and all the moral dilemas with it, The Island is definitely it.
Based in the not-to-distant future. The movie stars Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson as two people being held in an underground bunker that supposedly houses the …
Juno is Good
Juno was a pretty good movie. It was the best movie I have ever seen, but it was interesting. If you don’t like weird and awkward story lines than this movie is probably not for you. However, I enjoy movies that are a little different and this movie is …

Disturbia (movie)
I was not expecting much going into this movie. The only thing that drew me to it was the lead actor Shia LaBeouf, who I am a big fan of. I was thoroughly surprised at how entertaining and well made the movie was. The story is …
xXx: State of the Union movie
If you have ever seen the first xXx (Triple X) movie, you cannot deny that it really did not need a sequel. This one stars Ice Cube as the new, more intense xXx. C’mon…this movie is substandard and really disappointing, not to mention, very distressing to watch. There is …
Next movie
The movie Next is what I am reviewing. It stars Nicholas Cage, Julianne Moore, and Jessica Biel.
I found this movie so much more then an action-adventure file. There was also drama, and a love story mixed into it.
It starts out with the main character Chris Johnson …
The Human Stain
The Human Stain with Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman.
Right from the beginning, the audience is put to sleep with the playing of dull background music. We see Hopkins and Kidman slide off an icy road in their car and fall to their drowning death. …
World Trade Center movie
This movie is about what happened in 9/11. Nicolas Cage plays the main character. Although the movie isn’t what I expected it to be It was really good and worth watching. I think that the movie is about something important that happened and everyone should see it. They did …

This movie is based on a true story of Frank Abagnale, a teenage con artist who successfully impersonated an airline pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer, as well as cashed over $2.5 million worth of forged checks - all that before reaching his 19th birthday. Frank, played very convincingly …
License to Wed
For a while, comedian Robin Williams pretty much just slipped off the face of the Earth. Whenever he did have a good movie, it was more of a drama than an actual comedy. But, recently, he seems to have found himself again. First, there was RV, which turned out …
Prom Night (Movie)
This movie is titled Prom Night and I was very hesitant and reluctant to watch it at first because it seemed like it was too unpredictable. The movie is all about a group of teens and they are one by one murdered on prom night —“ simple as that. …

I know at my age it would sound ridiculous but I really like this movie. I wanted to believe even just for two hours that I could go to a place like this. Where in I could walk around both indoor and outdoor and all I can …
Date Night (2010)
Tina Fey and Steve Carrell team up together in a very funny, smart movie. Date Night is a great comedy film, well executed with lots of clever lines and comical scenes. There were a few surprises, too, as the movie wound in a different direction that I …
The Gravedancers
My wife and I are watching a movie on Sci Fi called The Gravedancers. At first, it sounded like it would be a dumb movie; similar to movies we’ve seen dozens of times. However, it turned out to be halfway decent.
The movie focuses on three friends who visit a …
Movie Joy Ride
I can remember seeing the movie “Joy Ride” on the television guide a couple years ago when I was still in high school. However, I kept hesitating to watch it as at the time I was confusing it with a comedy which was released around the same time that …
The Accidental Tourist movie
After watching this movie I started to be a great fan of William Hurt’s acting abilities. I must say that I also observed his performance in the more recent “The Good Shepard” and it seems that Hurt hasn’t lost his touch! Unfortunately, although “The Accidental Tourist” is all about …
Secrets of an Actress movie
I actually enjoyed the opening credits of 1938’s Secrets of an Actress movie, which began by having a woman’s hand unlocking and opening a diary. She turns each page of the diary until the credits reach the end. It was different and unique.
The story itself is one …

X-Men: Days of Future Past (movie)
One of the movies that I went to see fairly recently was the latest in the X-Men series, which was X-Men: Days of Future Past. Missing it would not have been an option for me since I loved watching the animated series and reading the comics growing up, the …
Happy feet movie
The Happy Feet Movie, what a enjoyable, cute and funny movie. Being a mother of three kids, I have seen many childrens movies and this was one of the cutest and funniest movies I have seen. I love penguins and just adored how they all danced . …
She’s The Man movie
*Contains Spoilers*
I have to start off and say this has been one of my favorite movies since 1) I saw it in the theater and 2) When it came out during this past 2006 Summer.
I have to admit that the movie is highly unrealistic on a few levels. One …
The Village movie
M. Night Shyamalan first became famous after the release of the movie he directed entitled The Sixth Sense. After that, he directed a number of less successful movies. The Village is a movie of his that did not get very good reviews when it came out. …
Fighting (starring Channing Tatum)
It is really such a pity because Fighting (starring Channing Tatum) could have been so much better. In more ways than one, it has a special potential for being a great fighting movie but it fails to. Even Channing Tatum’s handsome looks could not make me really happy …

The Santa Clause, directed by John Pasquin is rated PG by the Motion Picture Associatio of America. The original release date for this movie was November 11, 1994 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Family/Fantasy and stars Tim Allen as Scott Calvin aka Santa …
Wedding Daze (2004)
When I came across the movie Wedding Daze on television, I thought it was the comedy starring Jason Biggs. Instead, it was a Hallmark Original movie that, for a comedy, was actually very dumb.
It’s really disappointing that an actor like John Laroquette, who made his mark as a womanizer …

Jumanji movie
Jumanji was one of the movies I wanted to see in the theater, but wasn’t able to. From 1995, it stars Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst, Bradley Pierce, Adam Hann-Byrd, and Laura Bell Bundy. It’s actually a nice adventure for children who aren’t afraid of monsters …
Big Man on Campus movie
What a silly movie. Obviously, it was inspired by “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” in some weird way. The movie begins with students talking about sightings of some monster on campus. The descriptions of the monster vary, and it is clear that some of the “witnesses” are simply making …

The Rescuers
If it weren’t for mice, Disney would have been out of business long ago. Granted all animals helped Disney succeed, but mice helped him over the top.
The Rescuers was no different. This concept of mice as rescuers worked so well in the mid-70s that fifteen years later, two other …
Noises Off movie
Noises Off
This is what I consider to be one of the best and one of my favorite comedies of all time. A Broadway play gone wrong. If you were sitting in a front row seat, you couldn’t help but to just die laughing. When it comes to stage plays …
Batman Forever
Batman forever is one of the worst movies ever made. It is the movie that ruined Batman. Since the movie the Batman movie series has gone downhill. The acting was just horrible. There were so many bad jokes in the movie that is was boring. Batman is supposed to …
Kate and Leopold Movie
This movie came out in 2001 but I just saw it like last week. My boyfriend was sitting at his computer and suggested that we watch this movie since he saw it a while back and really liked it. So we signed on to his Netflix on his Playstation …
