Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
This is a busy movie. So much hinges on it. I think this movie hinged, moving away from a pure children’s film to a more teen or older movie. The themes and atmosphere gained maturity, right alongside the characters.
By busy I mean that this film had to introduce several …
Law Abiding Citizen (2009)

Thr Princess Diaries 2 movie

The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
The Time Traveler’s Wife is probably going to be liked more by women than by men. I thought it was okay but was hard to follow. I would have enjoyed it more if I had not spent theater prices to see it and should have just waited until it …

Sex and A Girl

30 Days of Night Movie
Yesterday, I bought the movie ‘30 Days of Night’. I had wanted to see it since it came out in the theaters but hadn’t because I wasn’t sure it’d be worth it. So I decided I’d wait until it was out on DVD and buy it.
I like Josh Harnett. …
The Karate Kid Movie 2010

Silence of the Lambs Movie
This stunning movie is already considered a classic. Garnering five 1991 Academy Awards, it comes to no surprise that many of us still find it spellbinding.

Pan’s Labyrinth
Pan’s Labyrinth, was an extraordinary and visually appealing movie. I was skeptical going into it, because I don’t like foreign films, but I immediately forgot about all my reservations, and just sat back and took the movie in. It was easy to get caught up in, and …
Captain America: The First Avenger Movie
Of all the movies about superheroes I think that Captain America is the most difficult in terms of obstacles to overcome. The mythical origin of Thor, the wealthy luxury and fussiness of Tony Stark, the early wrestling appearances by Peter Parker, who is trying to impress the audience that …
Camp Rock
I was waiting for New Year’s Eve and to pass time I had a movie marathon all by myself. The last movie I watched was Camp Rock because I had no other choice. It’s an original Disney Channel movie starring Demi Lovato as a teenager who went to her …
St. Elmo’s Fire (movie)
Didn’t everyone in the 1980’s love St. Elmo’s Fire? The whole thing about seeing a young Demi Moore and Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy was simply thrilling to millions, I am sure. I don’t see or understand the inherent value of St. Elmo’s Fire, myself. I laugh when I …

The Appearing, 2014 movie

The documentary Brooklyn Castle, in my opinion can be attributed to many positive events after its airing. For instance, right after I watched the film I learned that an Inner City school in Brooklyn was the first school of its class to win the High School Championship put …

Paranormal Activity movie
As Paranormal Activity 2 is coming out soon, I thought it was time to sit down and write a review over the first film. Surely everyone by now has been given one opinion or another; this movie is absolutely terrifying and believable or it’s about as scary as an …
Movie Knowing
I saw the movie Knowing last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after Raising Arizona. The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …

The Ultimate Gift Movie Starring Jason Fuller

Elvira’s Haunted Hills
When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, one of the people I would sneak out of bed late at night to watch was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Edwards). The so-called ‘horror’ films she showed were usually terrible. But, she made things entertaining.
I knew she …

The Divergent Series: Insurgent (science fiction adventure movie)

Movie Zoolander
Since we have access to free movie channels for a couple months, I’ve been taking advantage of it and watching films I haven’t seen in a while; including the movie Zoolander.
