The Changling
When I rented the movie “The Changeling”, I did so because it was directed by Clint Eastwood, and I really enjoy the movies he directs. The subject matter, a mother whose young son disappears, is gut-wrenching, so I didn’t expect a light or enjoyable experience. It was based on …
Dinosaur Island Movie
Last night we had an early family movie night and ended up watching the film Dinosaur Island. At the time, I figured it was a movie our daughter would enjoy and was just willing to suffer through it for her sake. But, it turned out to be a pretty …

Psycho movie
From imitation and its popularity among film scholars and horror buffs, Psycho has no more surprises left —“ that’s a given. However, Sir Alfred Hitchcock foresaw this problem and infused Psycho (as well as his other pictures) with the more effective element: suspense. We know where, why, and when …
Starship Troopers (movie 1997)
Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Michael Ironside, Jake Busey and Dina Meyer star in this sci-fi/thriller/action/drama type movie. Filmed looking like a commercial, it takes us to a far away planet where bugs rule. War is waged and alot of beings die…this is a very bloody movie, and that …
Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs (movie)
The Masters of Horror series is incredibly interesting. I like that they have different directors because it gives viewers an idea of how various filmmakers “do” horror. At any rate, “Valerie on the Stairs” is very Twilight Zone-ish in its delivery. In fact, reference to this …
Oliver Twist movie
There have been many depictions of the classic Charles Dickens story through the years, but this one by british director David Lean with legendary actor Alec Guinness in the role of vicious Fagin, is beyond all doubt the most memorable version. David Lean, who is more known for his …

This has to be one of the worst movies in history and I am not a fan of boogie nights at all and never have been and never will be and this movie was just a disaster right from the beginning all the way to the end. Seriously mark …
Tropic Thunder
I watched Tropic Thunder the first day that it was released and it was such an enjoyable, funny and out of this world hilarious type of movie. Ben Stiller rocks! as a Director and I give him two thumbs up, without thinking for a second.
Call me biased or what, …
Swordfish movie
Though this movie can be considered a highly complicated film because of its astounding special effects and nerve-wracking code-breaking features, its groundwork is very simple: deception.
On the outset of the story, a monologue from the antagonist tackles how powerful media had been, how it has influenced people’s belief, and …
The Conjuring (movie 2013)
My older sister brought over a DVD rental of the conjuring for movie night one weekend. We both really wanted to see it after seeing the previews during the summer. As scary movie freaks we were hyped.

Hush movie
The movie Hush starring Jessica Lange and Gwyneth Paltrow in the main roles is a good movie in the genre of drama with an underlying thriller element. The movie though is good has a predictable story and the pace of the movie is a bit slow. But nevertheless it …
The Devil Wears Prada Movie
This movie is considered a “fashion” movie that’s best applicable for young ladies and women who dreams of making it to a very glam city with a good-paying job, a fantasic career, an even-better boyfriend, and a set of girlfriends to share it all with. Unfortunately, this isn’t the …
Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
It’s funny when I think about it, but I never wanted to watch this particular movie because it had Will Farrell and I had hated him ever since I watched the movie ‘Kicking & Screaming’ which was one of the most gawd-awful movies ever made in my opinion, so I …
The Dead Zone
OK, is there a movie Christopher Walken doesn�t have a role in? Though, I have to admit, it was a bit strange seeing him actually be the star rather than have a supporting role.
Last night was the first time I had a chance to watch this movie from the …

Most barbarian movies are pretty sweet. No matter how much you tease them or find out every flaw, these movies grab your attention and they never let go until the last person in the credits gets their due. Barbarian Queen does just that and it does something else that …
Movie Money Train
I just watched Money Train yesterday and oh my God, that movie is awesome! Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez really deliver a humorous, dramatic and action packed sense of their characters. This movie kind of reminds me of Four Brothers in the sense that Snipes and Harrelsons …

Becoming Jane is a movie about Jane Austen, the author of six deep and thoughtful romance novels that have all been made into movies, most of them more than once. The movie cannot be really called Jane’s biography, although there are some historical names mentioned. It so happens that …
Little Man movie
I watched Little Man this weekend and was throughly diappointed. The movie could have been better if it didn’t have the dirty language and scenes in it. I don’t understand why people can not make a movie without putting in all the dirty words and sexual scenes.
The one scene …

We own a DVD of the movie based on Stepehn Kings short story called the The Shawshank Redemption. The Shawshank Redemption takes place in the 1940’s, with Andrew Dufrense played by Tim Robbins having been wrongly accused of murdering his wife and her lover. He was sent to Shawshank …
Death Sentence (2007) Movie
Kevin Bacon stars in this movie with the interesting plot and weary execution. The film begins with a group of people sharing happy family moments. The audience gets to see how the boys grow up. And I suppose the montage seen through film and …
The Great Gatsby movie
No offense to F. Scott Fitzgerald, but The Great Gatsby bored me as a book, and it left me cold as a movie, too. I just never got into it. The only reason I went to see the film was because Robert Redford starred as Jay Gatsby. …

I have always love seeing Leonardo DiCaprio acting, and a DVD movie I have watched, is the Blood Diamond.
I don’t really understand when I watched this DVD movie. I know that Leo is helping his friend out to seek the diamond, as there has been some dirty dealings …
Film Some Kind of Wonderful
Viewed by many as a gender switched redo of John Hughes and Howard Deutch previous collaboration Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful is so much more than this and it is a kind of unfair label.
The stories and characters are much different. Whereas, Pretty in Pink focused on …
The Shining
Steven King’s The Shining is probably the most horrifying movie ever made. I just love this film. The Shining scares me till this day. And I get freaked out by it every time I see it. This is a movie that has scared people for years.

Movie: “Bride Wars”
Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway star in this lackluster, predictable comedy in which best friends become enemies when they accidentally book their weddings on the same date. Determined to upstage each other, they pull all kinds of unpleasant tricks to try and ruin the other’s wedding.
I had several issues …
The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
The 2004 removie of “The Manchurian Candidate” stands out among remakes of movies in that in many ways it is better than the original movie. There are differences between the two, some good, some bad. The removie seems to run longer than the original, and it does, but only …
Tropic Thunder movie
Directed by Ben Stiller, Tropic Thunder is one of the smartest movies that I have seen in a long while. It toys with the audience just like any good movie does, and by the time you realize what the movie is all about, the plot shifts gears and becomes …

I had heard of this film when it first came out…a low budget Christian movie about a high school football coach and his team. This movie turned out to be so much more than that. If you are a true believer in Jesus Christ, then this movie …

Notorious movie
Notorious is a film made about the life and death of the New York rapper Christopher Wallace aka Notorious B.I.G.

Stalag 17 movie
Stalag 17 is another classic picture which deals with World War II. This movie actually was the impetus for the Hogan’s Heroes TV series, though the movie is definitely a drama and not a comedy. William Holden excels as the American prisoner that is very much disliked …

Sharknado 2: The Second One (movie)
I don’t remember seeing Sharknado 2 advertise, but when I saw the trailer for its prequel Sharknado for the very first time I was convinced the entire thing had to be a joke or one of those bad Syfy movies even with all the so-called rave reviews it had …
The New Daughter movie 2009
On my rotten fruit throwing list, this one ranks pretty high, but it’s not the worst I hever ever seen.
Kevin Costner plays a father who is confused over his daughter’s weird behavior and makes every stupid mistake that can be made in a horror film to be sure that everything …
Batman: Dark Knight Rises
One of the movies that I watched recently was “Batman: Dark Knight Rises” and to be honest, I didn’t expect it to come anywhere near the previous one in the series in terms of greatness, where I was blown away by Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker. Nevertheless, I …
