The Couple (Aryan Couple)
I found “The Couple” to be an engaging, entertaining movie. The October 2006 movie is just the latest in what has almost become a genre in filmmaking: the efforts to prevent Jews from going to a concentration camp and to rescue them from Nazi Germany.
I like the story of …
Clue
I was flipping channels last night and came across a movie classic; Clue.
I rarely meet other people who enjoy this movie as much as I do; which is too bad considering I could watch this film 100 times in a row and never get tired of it.
What’s not to …
The Valet (2007)
As the introduction, I watched this movie because I saw Gad Elmaleh in the cast lists and I love to see his silly face again since “Priceless”, his previous movie with the beautiful Audrey Tautou. And the result is : I still see the same character Gad plays in …
Babylon 5: In the beginning Movie
Set ten years before the popular science fiction tv series. Here there has been a serious misunderstanding which has lead to a terrible war that threatens to extinct the whole human species.
This is an excellent addition to the tv series, and it doesn’t even require the viewer to have …
X men Origins: Wolverine
X men Origins: Wolverine turned out to be better than I expected. I wasn’t expecting much because I thought it would be incomplete and completely stupid to concentrate on one character. But it turned out pretty good and interesting.
It did turn out to be a good movie but definitely …
A View to a Kill movie
In what would be Roger Moore’s last appearance as agent 007 James Bond (he was MORE than 50 years old here by the way) he’s confronted with perhaps the most colorful villain ever. He’s played by the excellent actor Christopher Walken and, obviously, is threatening to take over the …
Gorgeous movie
I only hear about the movie “Gorgeous” recently. It is not to be confused with the American film “Drop Dead Gorgeous” though as this one was actually a Chinese Romance Comedy film that was released in the late nineties starring Jackie Chan. However, that does not mean that it …

Interview with a Vampire
Interview with a Vampire was a great vampire movie! I thought it was very creative how the vampire tells the reporter the whole story while we see what he is telling. Also I think that Brad Pitt and Christian Slater did a great job of acting as vampires. The movie …
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 Hitcher DVD
This is a remake of the classic that starred, C. Thomas Howell, from way back when. The original was the kind of thriller that you could watch over and over again. This remake was plain ridiculous. The action seemed a lot less than the original, the acting far …

Sleepless in Seattle
Sleepless in Seattle is a very good romantic movie and has some good performances by the leading actors played by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Tom Hanks is obviously a good performer and has proved his acting abilities in many movies and in this movie too he gives a …
Lucky You movie
“Lucky You” is a great movie about poker. I feel that, although this is a good film, it may lack appreciation from the general public due to the fact that it is too focused on poker and how a poker player can be so insensitive to the environment and …
Sherlock Holmes movie
From 2009, it’s Robert Downey Jr. starring in Sherlock Holmes and playing the well-known sleuth. Here are a few of my observations.

Angel Season 1
I adore Angel. My fiance got me into all the magical, vampire shows, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Charmed, and Smallville. This review is about Angel Season 1. I love this season because it sort of picks up where Buffy left off. I love how there …
Tears of the Sun

First, that this the …
The Pink Panther (2006)
I understand this is just a remake of a movie that was originally produced in 1963 that starred Peter Sellers as the idiotic but kind hearted Inspector Clouseau.
As I see it, this is another one histerically funny movie that has the character combination of Mr. Bean and Johny English …
Mr. Brooks
I actually was so scared when I watch this movie. It seems like there could be a real story like this out there, and that made me so scared.

Pan’s Labyrinth
When I saw Pan’s Labyrinth, I was expecting a story about a little girl retreating into her elaborate fantasy world. I would have been happy with just that, but Pan’s Labyrinth was so much more.
In the beginning of the movie we are introduced to Ofelia and her mother, who …
Dallas Buyers Club, movie
One of the most anticipated movies of the year is living to its expectations. I’ve just finished watching the powerful story about a subject often considered delicate.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …
Finding Neverland movie

3.Great character lines
4.Realistic but still surreal characters
5.Topnotch graphics
6.Amazing music
What does this DVD have?

Step Brothers movie
Step Brothers is one of my favorite movies of all time and it is jam packed full of funny one liners. It is about two 40 year old men who still live at home with their parents and they are just like big children. Will Farrel’s character, Brennan Huff’s …
Harry Brown 2009
I just saw the film “Harry Brown” tonight with my husband. This is a British movie starring Michael Caine. I first got interested about it when I found out that the gist of the movie was revenge, vigilante-style. One of the similar movies that I have seen was Clint …
The Bridge To Terabithia
First of all, I liked this movie. It is not just a typical children’s movie because it really touched my heart. I think there are so many lessons that can be learned from this movie like improving self-confidence, importance of friendship, and believing in talents. The actors are all …
Movie Labyrinth (1986)
In my opinion, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth is one of the best animated films of all time. David Bowie’s character of Jareth, the goblin king, is probably my most beloved of all movie characters. At the beginning of the movie, I found him frightening, but as it moved along, I …
Halloween II (2009) Feature Film
Halloween II is the newest remake of the Halloween movies by Rob Zombie. It is a bit hard to follow if you are a fan of the series. This is the sequel to the first remake of Halloween made by Rob Zombie and it makes sense …
Tekken (2010) Film
Is the 2010 Tekken movie a proper tribute to the game it was based on? Or will it follow the footsteps of the vast majority of movies based on video games and simply—¦ well, suck?
I gotta say, from the time I saw the trailer, I never expected this …
Feed (NR, 2005) movie
If you are looking for a film that is slightly off the beaten path, you should watch “Feed.” But don’t expect riveting acting or plot direction. For there is none. This isn’t a terrible film. In fact, in a lot of ways it is quite …

Beowulf Film
Robert Zemeckis, John Malkovich, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone. A pantheon of names builds this incredibly well recreated story of Beowulf based on the Norse legend of the same name.
