My Sister’s Keeper movie
This movie review contains spoilers.
I saw Cameron Diaz on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ talking about her role in the upcoming film ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ and couldn’t wait to see it. Usually I don’t like watching movies that look too sad, especially about children with cancer, but Cameron’s character …
Dark City, movie (1998)
David S. Goyer is a name films fans should recognize. From his humble beginnings with Charles Band’s Full Moon Entertainment to his recent success working with Christopher Nolan, he’s one of the biggest names in screenwriting. Sure, he also wrote Jumper and the TV movie, Nick Fury: …
Horton Hears a Who
Ok, after seeing other Dr. Seuss books turned into movies with mixed results, I had my doubts about Horton Hears a Who. But, after watching it last night, I have to say I was very impressed.

The Last King of Scotland (R, 2006) movie
Forrest Whitaker is a genius in this movie. I knew just from seeing the trailer that this film was going to be terrific. The previews didn’t lie. In fact, the film was better than I expected. The story of Idi Amin is interesting, …
Movie: Freedom Writers (2007)
“Freedom Writers” (2007) was released so early in 2007 that I forgot it was eligible for the upcoming Academy Awards. Apparently so did members of the Academy because it received no nominations. The 123 minute Paramount Pictures movie is in English, filmed in color, and takes place in Long …
The grudge 2
I watched the grudge 2 a while ago. There are a couple of things about the movie that I didn’t like. First of, I think they should have kept Sarah Michelle Gellar in the movie a lot longer than they did. Second, there were parts that were supposed to …
Straight Talk movie
Now Straight Talk is a movie with Dolly Parton that has some meat to it. It’s not quite the wonder that Nine to Five is, but Straight Talk is a good movie that has some real story to it.
Shirlee Kenyon (Parton) maneuvers her way into a radio job, …

Movie Underworld
I like to watch the movie “Underworld” in which the Lycans(werewolves) and Vampires are at war.
In this movie Celine played very well by Kate Beckinsale is trying to find out why the Lycans and Vampires are trying to kill a human played by Scott Speedman.
As …

Movie: Haunting of Winchester House
I wanted something to watch late last night that was interesting but didn’t have a plot that was overly complicated. So, I fell back onto my usual horror genre and picked out one that seemed interesting; Haunting of Winchester House.
I actually was familiar with the Winchester House legend (thank …
Gone in Sixty Seconds, movie (1974)
Car chase sequences are an easy way to mix action and drama. To pull them off is difficult and require a team of professionals that can make the impossible possible. Bullitt, The French Connection, and The Italian Job showcased some of the most well-known car chases in …
The Avengers Movie
Captain America . Thor. Iron Man . Hulk. These are characters that I grew up with and whose films I had fun with and I have always looked forward to. What happens when all these characters fall into one and the same mixture? A true epic! Marvel’s production “The …
Transporter 2
What little characterization from the first movie is tossed aside as Frank…whatever his last name was is now in Miami acting as chauffeur for a politician and his family. It’s clearly a temp job, but he does get along well enough with the kid, testing the boy’s intellect …
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 …

Must Love Dogs. A Movie
I recently bought the movie “Must Love Dogs” from Big Lots for only three dollars and I really thought it was cute. I had never seen it before and my thought was that for only three dollars if it was bad than I could just throw it away. …

Rear Window is a must-see for all Hitchcock fans. Jimmy Stewart place a photographer who broke his leg and is confined to a wheelchair in his apartment. He has a perfect view onto the apartments on the other side of the yard from his window, and is able to …
The Fall of the Roman Empire movie
A classic epic by the underrated filmmaker Anthony Mann. It depicts the whole last period of the Roman Empire in detail and gives one possible theory of what caused its fall (which historians aren’t quite sure of). Great actors like Alec Guinness and Omar Sharif makes this film even …

John Tucker Must Die Movie

Napolean Dynamite Movie
The first time I ever watched Napolean Dynamite, I thought it was prehaps the worst movie ever made. Since then however I have gotten an appreciation for this movie. For the most part its a bout a nerdy high school student and his expolits. After the second, or third …
The Extra Man movie 2010
At one point I wondered why there aren’t more eccentric characters in one film. The answer is that they not occur. It seems that you can not cram a young English teacher with bizarre sexual inclinations, an old bearded playwright gigolo and a mechanic with a high voice who …

Superman Doomsday
Let me start off by saying…”One of the best Superman Movies animated or not ever made”. I have always been of the opinion that Superman’s portrayed character is so lame, why is he called “Superman” in the first place. He always seems to get the tar beat out of …
Arthur and the Minimoys
When I was in a movie house, I was able to see the trailer of Arthur and the Minimoys. I found it and interesting story so I bought a copy of the movie. I like the movie so much since it is an adventure film. Though its a fiction …
2 Guns movie
The story adheres strictly to the clichés of the genre , and this potentially poses a risk for the viewer to be bored. The story revolves around two undercover agents, who under the circumstances must join forces to survive and succeed . It sounds familiar, and I do not …
Stargate
Stargate was released in 1994 and it launched a franchise. Kurt Russell starred as Colonel Jonathan ‘Jack’ O’Neil. I have to make sure that’s spelled correctly. This is the single ‘L’ O’Neil, versus the TV series Jack O’Neill, which has two ‘L’s’ and was played by …
Calamity Jane movie
I love Calamity Jane. As a bit time Doris Day fan, this movie has long been a fun time for me. Day is one of Hollywood’s best, able to do drama and comedy. She can be serious and full of angst or crazy and daffy, …

Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
To kind of quote Indiana Jones, now we’re getting nasty. This is the first of the Potter stories to have someone killed, giving us a taste of what’s to come, priming us, if you will. The atmosphere of Goblet of Fire is decidedly darker. The moods of the characters …
Mutilation Ball
To give props where props are do: I really like the idea of Mutilation Ball, and the “sport” is animated brilliantly. I don’t know who came up with the idea of combining chain saws with basketball but for some strange reason it works, at least as it is …
Aquamarine movie
When I first saw the movie Aquamarine being advertised to be released in theatres I was eager to see it since it looked like a very cute children’s movie which even I might be interested in seeing. When I watched it I wasn’t disappointed either since I didn’t think …
The Hills Have Eyes
This is one of the scariest remake movies I’ve ever seen. The original was filmed in 1977. The author of this Horrible tale is Wes Craven. The theme is nothing supernatural but mainly of unlikely people and it’s rather gross. When I look at it, …
Our mothers murder
This is one of my favorite movies that I have seen on lifetime. It was a very good story and a true story also. I think that they did a wonderful job making this movie. All of the actors were good in it and did an amazing job playing …

Carrie (2013 movie)

Stepford Wives
I have seen almost all the movies of Nicole Kidman because she’s one of my favorite Hollywood actresses. So I was really excited to see Stepford Wives because aside from her, Bette Midler is also in the movie. Based on a book by Ira Levin and a remake of …
The Franchise Collection Riddick Trilogy
One of the great things to come out of DVD marketing in recent years is the the franchise collection, collecting numerous movies in a particular franchise and offering them all in one box at a cheap price. For example we have here the Riddick Trilogy, which provides us …
Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (2013 Film)
Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor is a film, directed and written by Tyler Perry. I had heard and read my fair share about the movie, and I was honestly conflicted at first to see it. I knew that there was a lot of hype following the movie, given …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
The film was absolutely fabulous. I was worried, I won’t lie, that Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) would not have the acting chops to do this movie given that he’s had so little screen time in the past. I was worried that the “please” on top of the …
