Blues Brothers Movie
I got bored the other day and decided to sit down and watch The Blues Brothers again. I have seen it on TV quite a few times in the past but I hate the edited version of it so I watched the DVD instead.
Wow, this is a good movie.
I …
Movie: Castle of the Walking Dead
A few days ago, I was looking at new movies available for watch on our Netflix Instant Watch service and came across an older movie called Castle of the Walking Dead.
I had never heard of this movie before. But, it had Christopher Lee in it and sounded somewhat interesting …
Sucker Punch (movie)
Sucker Punch was an action fantasy movie about a girl who struggles to get out of a mental institution after she is wrongfully put there by her stepfather after her mother’s death. At times I wondered if she really was going crazy when she would use her fantasies to …
Mona Lisa Smile
I have always thought Julia Roberts acting to be very influential and contagious, in a positive way. And in Mona Lisa Smile, she suits the role that she played as a teacher in a college and the time era was during the early 1900s. My 2 favorite actresses; …
A Walk To Remember movie
I was able to watch the A Walk To Remember movie when I was in high school, which was roughly seven years ago and yet I still remember it very clearly and I love the movie very much. I didn’t even know it was based from the book until …
Return to Me movie
Mundane romantic comedy about a man and a woman who happen to meet accidentally, happen to be perfect for each other, and happen to fall in love instantly. How many times have this been seen before?
Countless, or course, and this film is just repeating old sugar sweet cliches like …
Drag me to Hell Movie
Prior for me watching the film I have heard a lot of good deeds about this horrific supernatural movie “Drag Me to Hell” from my office mates and from the news paper. I have not given a chance to watch it earlier but when I did I can’t …
Harry Potter & The Sorcerer’s Stone
This is it. The starting of the legend. I had briefly heard the name of Harry Potter, ut paid no attention to it. That is, until I saw this movie. After that, I was hooked. On the movie, the characters, the world of Harry Potter.
I think this first movie …
Dead Mans Shoes (2004)
I was just about to go to bed when I thought I would watch the first ten minutes of ‘Dead Man’s Shoes’ to see what it was like. I thought it was probably just a silly, violent action film or something but I spent the rest of the …
Beauty and the Beast
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is my all-time favorite animated movie. It is indeed a timeless cinema classic. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this movie but I never get tired of watching it over and over again. It’s the story of a prince who was turned …
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation (action spy-thriller movie)
I’m not usually one of those people who run to see every Mission Impossible movie that is released. However, when I saw the trailer for this one and saw the amount of stunts and action in it, I thought that this was definitely something that I could not miss. After …
The Money Pit
Movies like this make me shake my head and wonder, ‘What were they thinking??’ I am not alone in this, as I see, in regards to this particular movie: I saw ‘The Money Pit’ listed among 10 worse movies done in the 1980s in one online article. I had …
Hulk vs Thor (movie)
I was never really interested in the Thor comic book series when I was a little girl, but ever since I watched the movie “Thor” and “The Avengers”, an interest in the marvel character has been kindled. Therefore, from time to time I find movies and stories about the …
Movie The Vengeance of the Mummy (1973)
A totally demented Paul Naschy film that, to my knowledge, was the last of the shambling, old school style mummy movies featuring a rampaging, bandaged monster.
Paul plays the role of the Mummy as well as the Mummy’s evil assistant and he does so to the hilt. A very violent …
Movie Happy Feet
This is one of the best cartoons I’ve seen so far. The trailer didn’t look so promising so I never watched this in the theaters. I seldom want to pay for cartoons anyway. Luckily, one of my relatives bought me a DVD version which they said was on sale. …
Exorcism of Emily Rose movie
A true story that is hard to believe by the people.
The movie was focused in the issue of God and Demons. And the most debate-able topic of Catholic church involving to exorcism. There is a lot of situation like this happening around the globe and mostly to asian countries …
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang film
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a hoot and a half! It’s one of the best family films ever. I saw it numerous times in the theater as a child, have viewed it many times on TV, and finally purchased the DVD, which I watch repeatedly. It’s …
Sorry Haters (NR, 2005) movie
I am a fan of Robin Wright-Penn and wish that she would appear in more films. When I saw this film on Netflix, I was immediately intrigued. I didn’t know what the movie was about, only that she played a woman with a grudge who befriends …
Stormbreaker movie
The best way to describe this movie is a modern time Indiana Jones teen movie. This film is based on the famous book of Anthony Horowitz but there seems to be a bit of a difference between the book and the movie version.
What I found interesting in this movie …
The Fast and the Furious
I like action movie, including car racing. I always like the Fast and the Furious no matter it’s the first movie, the second, the third or the fourth one, I like them all.
The Fast and the Furious is the first movie before the sequel is made. I watch this …
Mystic River
Clint Eastwood first gained directorial praise with Unforgiven, which was a movie I loved. So as you can imagine, I was very excited for Mystic River. And after watching it, I was not disappointed. Clint Eastwood delivers again and does an even better job than he …
In The Heat of The Night movie
Directed by Norman Jewison and Academy Award winner for best picture and best actor Rod Steiger. This film can really teach us the lesson of racism in our country. Set in the small town of Sparta, Mississippi in 1967. The film opens with a blues song “In The Heat …
Night Train Riddle
I am reviewing the Night Train Riddle, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, stars as …
Barefoot (2014 movie)
After watching Barefoot I have come to the conclusion that I should recommend this film to all the comedy drama romance flick lovers. Directed by Andrew Fleming, the director of Nancy Drew and other well-known comedy drama films, Barefoot really carried me away into some outlandish fantasy. Scott Speedman …
His Private Secretary movie
John Wayne takes second billing in this 1933 motion picture called His Private Secretary. He’s not even a cowboy. Of course, Wayne often played other roles, but he’s at his best when he’s a man with a horse. In this modern day film of its era, …
Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds (2005)
The Steven Spielberg remake of the famous War of the Worlds 1953 movie was downright disappointing. The movie borders on awful, and really doesn’t come through. Despite the good cast, it was poorly directly and badly written. While the original movie was inspiring and filled with tension, …
Hotel for Dogs Movie
Being a dog lover, my brother bought and gave me this dvd as a present and while I am already in my mid-twenties, I still do enjoy watching movies that are sometimes suitable just for kids, like this movie, and Hotel for Dogs is actually for kids and not …
The One (2001 movie)

Poltergeist - Supernatural Horror Movie (2015)
As far as horror movies go, Poltergeist is not a movie I’m planning to watch again. It’s a remake of the 1982 movie, Poltergeist, and from what I hear, the original is way better. Although I watched this in 3D in theaters, there were very few scares to boast of …
Lake Placid movie
I can rememebr when the movie “Lake PLacid” was released in 1999, it seemed to gain a lot of attention from my peers; but since I didn’t see it advertising to be released in theatres I wasn’t yearning to watch it as much as some of my friends were. …
High Society movie
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen High Society, but the opportunity presented itself again recently, so I gave it a watch. Overall, it’s just a cute and bubbly movie with Grace Kelly putting on airs and Bing Crosby as the down the earth pal who just …
Casino Royale (2006)
Casino Royale, a James Bond movie, directed by Martin Campbell is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Assosciation of America for intense sequences of violent action, a scene of torture, sexual content and nudity. The original release date was November 17, 2006 for United States audience. This movie falls …
The September Issue (2009)
‘The September Issue’ is a feature length, fly-on-the-wall documentary about the making of the September 2007 issue of Vogue Magazine. This would be of interest to anyone wanting to see what the real Anna Wintour is like - editor-in-chief of Vogue - rather than the bitch that Meryl …
Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace, in my calm, objecive opinion, was the worst piece of trash I have ever had the misfortune of buying a ticket to see. Many people have trashed Daniel Craig as the …
Omkara
Omkara is the Indian adaptation of the play Othello, written by the legendary Shakespeare. The characters are same, only the settings of the play has been changed. Othello has become Omkara, Desdemona has become Dolly Mishra,Lago has become Langda Tyagi.This story is set in a village. A political leader …
21 Jump Street (2012)
21 Jump Street isn’t the greatest movie ever. In my opinion, it isn’t even close. However, that doesn’t mean that this movie isn’t worth watching. I find that it has some cheesy moments, a slight romance, but mostly comedy and action. I appreciate a good hardcore guns blazing shooting …
The Deserter movie
Another silent montage film by the perhaps most appreciated director that worked with the style, next to Eisenstein - Vsevolod Pudovkin.
Looking through all of his work, I have to say Pudovkin’s films have aged a lot better than Eisenstein. While Eisenstein did all he could to make the films …
Shrek the Third
In my opinion, Shrek the Third is the best movie of the Shrek movies. I liked Shrek 1 and Shrek 2 even more than 1 because of the addition of Puss in Boots. Shrek 3 I like even more than Shrek 2; that isn’t saying a whole …
The Rocketeer
With all the movies about comic book action heroes that have been coming out lately, one that has been out for some time might be easily forgotten.
But, even after being on video shelves all these years, the movie The Rocketeer is still one of my favorites.
Bill Campbell does an …
Movie Jumpers
Is is Sunday afternoon and my son and I went to the Arundel Mills Mall egyptian Muvico to see the new movie that is called Jumpes.

Justice League
At the start of the millennium, there has been a resurgence of DC animations. Before they were being trampled upon by their counterpart, Marvel Comics, DC now is like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
In 2004, I got the chance to watch a group of DC superheroes lumped …
Breaking the waves movie
The danish director Lars von Trier has been hailed as a master of cinema and won many prizes on the Cannes film festival the last 15 years. To me he is a very overrated filmmaker who never really managed to develop his own cinematic expression that couldn’t be mistaken …
The Jacket (2005 movie)
This is a very confusing thriller if you don’t pay close attention to detail. It also shows what could happen in a mental institution that has a lack of morality and responsibility. This movie shows what happens to one such patient. He is convicted under cause of insanity for …
