Movie The Last House on the Left
I went to see The Last House on the Left this week with one of my good friends. We were in the mood to see a scary movie, and this was pretty much the only one out. I hadn’t seen a preview for it (that I remembered) so I …

Taken in Broad Daylight (2009)
I have no idea if this movie ever made it to the theatres but in any event I saw this on the Lifetime channel and found it very interesting. It is about a teenager who was kidnapped from a shopping mall and as the title says, it was done …
The Patriot (movie)
Just week we heard the sad news that Heath Ledger passed away, it reminded me of one of the movies that he had starred in with Mel Gibson called the Patriot.
We pulled the Patriot out of our collection and re-watched it last night. The story is set …
Terror Tract
I watched the very beginning of this movie yesterday. I didn’t even finish watching it because it was so boring. It was suppose to be about these haunted houses but it wasn’t really. It was just about these people that were having an affair and the woman’s husband came …
Ever After Movie
There are so many different versions of the Cinderella story out there, but “Ever After” is by far the greatest of them all, and my favorite movie of all time. What makes this movie different from the others is that they made the movie in a very realistic …

The Family Man
I had an opportunity to watch the movie The Family Man last night. I have seen it before but it was the first time in a long while and I couldn’t remember much about the movie.
I now know why that was. It really isn’t a very memorable film.
Basically, the …
Home of the brave movie
The story about four American armies on duty in Iraq. Cutoff from the last period of their duty to brought medical equipment to one of village in Iraq was followed by many tragic cases. Mental conflict experienced after returns to US is not easy to be passed. It is …
Dark Skies (movie)
One of the movies that I watched this summer was the movie “Dark Skies”. It’s not to be confused with the television series of the same name that was popular in the late nineteen nineties, even though it has a bit of a similar motif. When I watched the …
Tron: Legacy movie
My winter holiday began last week and after months and months of toil and mental abuse offered freely and in great quantities by the glorious educational system, I decided that there would be no greater way to commence the days of pseudo-freedom than going to see a movie. And …
Antz Disney Movie
Antz is one of Disney’s newer movies to be released on dvd. I have seen it multiple times, and it again and again impresses me. Its anamations are so impressive, and I am forever astounded at how detailed the characters’ facial gestures are, and how fluent their …
Back to the Future (1985 movie)
There are only two words that best describe this movie: science fiction classic!! When the film first came out in 1985, I was just a kid. It had a few curse words in it, but to a kid, that was considered cool–correction: totally cool (it was …
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (1999)

This film is a complete ripoff of Tarantino’s Resvoir Dogs, with the exception that it is set in a different environment, …
Bruno
I was torn into two pieces by this movie. I didn’t want to see it at first because I thought it would be extremely stupid. And I believed this due to Sacha Baron Cohen’s appearances on television shows as “Bruno.” The character himself was not funny at all, to …
Let Me In (movie)
“Let Me In” is another one of the movies that I watched recently. I remember seeing it advertising several times before my cable television went, but for some reason, I wasn’t very interested in seeing it. However, it was only after I read about it on someone’s blog where …
The Year Punk Broke 1991 movie
A music documentary about the private lives of the members of Sonic Youth and partly Nirvana during their tour in 1991. I would consider it a fans-only kind of film, but as I used to be a big fan of both these bands I found it very interesting. To …
Toy Story
Toy Story is a very coll story about toys. The main characters are Woody and Buzz Light Year. I think that the 3D animation done in this movie was really cool! This was one of the first movies I saw done this way. And I really liked the whole 3D …

A great relationship movie from a mastermind named Tyler Perry. The focus is on four couples who have been great friends for years. This movie touches on a lot of topics regarding men and woman alike, the struggles that each go through in finding themselves, the bridges they must …
Pearl Harbor movie
I won’t be giving much plot info in this review, because that is easily accessible on Wikipedia or something. To start, I needed to state that I do not like romance movies in any way. I am more of an action movie type of gal, but I still …

Sideways (R, 2004) movie
I had actually been dying to see this movie although I kept passing over it in my Netflix queue. I feel that you have to be in a particular mood to deal with introspective ramblings of 30ish, 40ish people traveling the country simply to taste wine and sow …
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 …
Secret Window movie
Secret Window is a movie where Johnny Depp stars as a writer who goes to live in the country by himself because he has gone through a recent divorce. Mort, the character that Johnny Depp plays, is a weird person. I’m not talking about weird like an artist, I …
Graduation Day
I don’t remember much about 1981 (I would have only been about 6) but, if the movie Graduation Day is any indication, I don’t think it was a year where there were a lot of good movies.
The film advertises itself as a thriller but it was more of a …

Based on the 1960 film of the same title and directed by acclaimed director of such films as Traffic and Erin Brockovich, Steven Soderbergh, Ocean’s Eleven is a cool hi-tech comedy. Starring some of Hollywood’s most popular actors, it’s the story of Danny Ocean (George Clooney), a newly released …
After Dark Thrillers dvd
Here is another dvd from my friend’s horror movie dvd collection. He likes old movies from the seventies mostly, and lent me this dvd which he said he was told had some good horror films on it. However, when I watched it I didn’t like the movies at all. …
30 Days of Night
This is a good movie if you like horror movies and you don’t mind gory things. If you are a person that doesn’t like gory or cannot take it I don’t recommend it. It kept me interested, the acting was good, I wasn’t really bored at all. There were …
Three Wishes DVD
Firmly locked in as one of my top ten Patrick Swayze movies, Three Wishes is a magical delight. It has a great cast with Swayze, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Joseph Mazzello, and Seth Mumy. With the recent death of Swayze, I wanted to watch one of his movies …
Goodbye First Love by Mia Hansen-Love (2012 film)
Movies draw on snippets of reality to make us closer to life itself when we watch, to condition our minds to believe. How reality can arise from a movie so clearly that it overwhelms is a rare experience. Very few movies are able to touch on that …
Pretty Woman
I’m not sure what exactly the draw is for me but whenever the movie Pretty Woman is on television, I just have to watch it.
Maybe I’m just a closet Julia Roberts fan but I just can’t get enough of a Cinderella story that has a prostitute and millionaire falling …

Freedom Writers (movie)
Freedom Writers stars Hilary Swank as the teacher who goes into a system that is doomed and comes out on top. Hilary Swank is awesome as Erin, and she does not disappoint at all in this role. Another thing that I really like about Freedom Writers is that it …
Incendies (drama movie)

Spiderman 3
Another love story, that’s what I said to my friends after watching it. I don’t want to spoil it for others who might want to go and spend some dough on this romantic adventure. I know, most people loved the effects and cinematography, but I’m not after an award …
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children
Final Fantasy is always famous for its in-game cg movie, but can we really expect it to be a great movie if it’s only a full time in-game cg without gameplay? Yes, Final Fantasy VII proved that. Final Fantasy VII Advent Children is the second cg movie done …

No Reservations
I love it when Catherine Zeta-Jones acts. She is gracing maturely and is truly beautiful no matter what her age is.
In this movie story, she acted alongside Aaron Eckhart and this is a very beautiful story that I suppose would be very popular with loads of chefs …
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
What an amazing movie. At first glance, it seemed like it had the ability to be good and bad. I had heard of books before, but never really knew about what Pirates of the Caribbean was about, except for Pirates sailing in the Caribbean.
Let’s start with the concept of …
