The Passion of the Christ
The Passion of the Christ made me cry buckets of tears. I’m a devout Catholic but only after seeing this movie did I truly come to realize God’s love for us (He gave his only son to save us from our sins). Directed by Mel Gibson, this controversial and …
Public Enemies movie
My wife and I ended up finally watching the Johnny Depp film Public Enemies last night. It was an OK movie but I will confess, I expected it to be somewhat better than it was.
Depp does an excellent job as John Dillinger, public enemy number 1 who is hunted …
Panic in Echo Park movie

Did You Hear About the Morgans? movie
Did You Hear About the Morgans? isn’t much of a stretch for Hugh Grant. He just played himself, a man who cheated on his significant other. I wasn’t impressed with him at all. He talked at, not to, Sarah Jessica Parker much of the time. …
Baby Mama
I was a little wary of seeing the movie “Baby Mama.” Its rated PG-13, first of all, and I’ve noticed that most PG-13 movies these days are geared towards the youngsters who are limited to that rating. Second of all, the topic itself… the concept of a hopeful mother …
Tom & Jerry: The Magic Ring
My daughter loves Tom & Jerry cartoons. So, when I saw I could load the hour-long movie Tom & Jerry: The Magic Ring on our Netflix player for her, I did.

Joker of the Dark Knight
For superhero lover, Joker isn’t a newbie. He’s arrogant, scary yet frightening. And he’s brilliant though. There are several actor who had played this role in the movie. But comparing all of those actors, the best one for me is the last Joker in Batman’s movie, The Dark Knight, …
Holy Motors (2012 film - avant garde, drama film)
Holy Motors is one of the best films I’ve seen in my life. But be warned, you may not understand it, or even like it, at all. Holy Motors is almost not even a film in the traditional sense of the word. Rather, it is a piece of extremely well …
Tina Fey (actress, producer)
I have way more respect for actress Tina Fey since I started watching episodes of ‘30 Rock’ on DVD. I caught one episode when it first came on the air. But for some reason, I never followed up on the program. When Tina Fey …

Boy eats girl movie
I really like zombie movies, books, comic books and video games. When I saw Boy eats girl on Netflix I decided to watch it. It is a campy teenage zombie film from Ireland. I don’t think it is very old maybe a few years old. It starts off like …
Romeo and Juliet
I am reviewing the movie, Romeo and Juliet. This is Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Seventeen-year-old Leonard Whiting and 15-year-old Olivia Hussey play Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers who defy their feuding families in order to be together.

The Other Boelyn Girl
The interesting thing about movies based on the life of a real historical figure is you sometimes get a point of view that is different than you would come to expect. And, that difference makes the movie much better than you expected it to be.
The Other Boleyn Girl is …
“Grindhouse” (2007 double feature)
“Grindhouse” consists of two wildly entertaining films, “Planet Terror,” written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, and “Death Proof,” written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Both fall into a category that can partially be described as an homage to low-budget exploitation cinema popular in the 1970’s and the kind of …
The Gnome-Mobile
Here is another Disney treasure from my past. I can still remember seeing this movie as a double feature at the drive-in movies, growing up in Southern California. What made it Disney was its comic sequences, and its stock character actors, namely Ed Wynn, Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber, …

X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie
If your a fan of the x-men series this movie may leave you entertained and a bit disappointed.
Hugh Jackman makes a great Wolverine. His character delivery is very similar to the original 3 movies. I thought his preform ace was good and right on where it needed to be. …
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) movie
Before I went into the cinema, I had higher expectations from the movie because I had already watched a trailer of the film a long as soon as it was out. I was really excited to see the film, I like Jennifer Garner, and she is definitely one of …
Butterfly Effect (2004)
First of all, if you are not familiar with a certain classic story, you will be left wondering what on earth “Butterfly Effect” means and what butterflies have to do with the plot of this movie. I happen to have heard of that story, although I do not remember …

I enjoyed this movie a lot. The concept is unique–what happens when one person in a group of friends is in a drastically different socioeconomic status than the rest of them? The characters were both believable and interesting at the same time. I liked how Jennifer …
Private Buckaroo movie
Private Buckaroo is a kick to watch for the most part. Of course, you have to be into the antics of the day, which in this case is circa 1942 when the film was released. For example, if you like the harmonies of The Andrews Sisters (that’s Patty, …

I had mixed emotions about the movie. On one hand, …
Hope Floats
I admit that I generally enjoy watching Sandra Bullock’s movie; however “Hope Floats” failed to impress me. I feel that there is something missing script wise which failed to make a good movie. I also believe that “Hope Floats” was another Bullock attempt to make a romantic movie tackling a …
Dirty Love movie
Dirty Love is one of my favorite comedy movies. It will keep you laughing throughout the entire movie. Jenny Mccarthy is awesome in it. Although there are one or two parts that I thought were stupid instead of funny, I still loved the movie. I think it is more …
Bewitched’s Broom Stick Plummets
Don’t waiste your time with this movie! As Hollywood runs out of ideas their next genuis is to disgrace the name of American classics. First of all, Nicole Kidman (Samantha), although however a brilliant actress she has been, is boring and unoriginal in this movie. All her movements and …
Life is Hot in Cracktown movie
On Friday night I was searching the TV guide for something to watch and saw that there was a movie being aired on Showtime called “Life is Hot in Cracktown”. While I figured it was going to be a pointless independent film that I might even have a hard …

When I saw this movie out it reminded me exactly of Into the Blue, but somehow funnier and really more comedic, mostly because Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey were the main casts in this movie! The honorable and legendary Donald Sutherland is also here as Kate’s extremely rich employer …

Blood Diamond movie
Before I watched the movie “Blood Diamond” I don’t think I had ever heard about the war over diamonds coming from the African country Sierre Leon. In fact, I think people always seemed to be a bit more focused on genocide in other African countries. One thing that the …
Mini’s First Time (R, 2006) movie
I don’t think I realized how much of a dark comedy this was going to be. As a matter of fact, I didn’t know that it would be funny at all. The movie centers around a family comprised of a pill-popping, boozing, promiscuous mother (Carrie Anne …
Rocketeer
I watched the movie Rocketeer some years ago, and I remember it being a pretty good movie. It’s about a guy who flies with a jet pack attached to his body. I think that the special effects and flying scenes in the film were very good, and very well …
