Death at the Funeral Movie
I didn’t know funeral’s can be funny. It speaks of lamentation and grievance of a loss of a loved one but in Death at the Funeral, it was the otherwise. It is funny but not rude and stupid. It is pure raw fun. The movie does starts …
Julie & Julia movie
Julie & Julia turned out to be an enchanting little film that amazingly told two different stories amazingly well. Julie is Julie Powell, a young housewife with the goal of wanting to finish something for the first time in her life. What she chooses, with the help …
Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, movie
On the off chance that you weren’t aware, these movies are kind of silly. The film makers know that the premise is ridiculous and just go all out with it. More often than not, it makes for an entertaining time.
The second one was a bit of a dud, but …

Loch Ness (1996)
Since I’ve always been fascinated with the mystery surrounding the Loch Ness monster, I didn’t hesitate to watch a movie about it.
However, as far as movies are concerned, Loch Ness falls well short of being entertaining.
Ted Danson plays a scientist who is highered to prove once and for all …
Ghoulies II movie
Because we had rented the first Ghoulies movie this weekend, my wife and I decided we should watch the second one too. And, we did, despite the fact we hated the first movie.
The sequel is surprisingly better than the first one. But, that really shouldn’t be saying much because …
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Pulp Fiction (1994) is the second film from contraversial director Quentin Tarantino and is definitely a film masterpiece. Out of his 5 films, this one passes all the rest in both originality and clever dialogue.
The story is told in 3 different parts that all have something to do …
The Music Man
Who can forget the wonderful song, 76 Trombones? Not me, and that’s why The Music Man is so memorable. I do love this movie, although I’m not all that hooked on the chemistry of Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. Both are great in their roles, and …
Brewster’s Millions movie
I have seen the 1980s comedy Brewster’s Millions, starring Richard Pryor, a couple different times. But, the other day was the first time I actually got a chance to watch the original, black and white film. I have to admit, that older film was much better.
Basically, the plot was …
The Sweetest Thing
“The Sweetest Thing” was a Romance and Comedy flick which was released in 2002. It is also what some people might call a “Chick Flick” as it revolves around the lives of several young female friends and one of them who is trying to track down a guy she …

Movie Look (R, 2007)
Here is yet another movie that follows people with multiple cameras and angles—”and multiple story lines. If you like movies that have interesting and realistic characters, then this is the film for you. There are several different “vignettes” if you will—”only they are filmed from the perspective …
Movie Minority Report
Tom cruise stars in this science fiction action film! The plot is mostly typical of what these films hold, the ability to see in the future and prevent crime before it even happens! Using humans with special abilities they transform there thoughts into an interactive system in which Cruise …
An Erotic Werewolf in London Movie DVD
I didn’t like this movie since I believed it was more of a female exploitation movie, which I wasn’t interested in. This was because it contained a lot of female nudity scenes as well as lesbian scenes which made it more resemble soft core pornography than a horror movie. …
Pride and Prejudice (2005 Film)
Before watching the 2005 film, “Pride and Prejudice” assumptions where made about how the film would be boring and dragging on for the entire two hours and nine minutes that would be spent watching it. I had honestly assumed that it would be similar to all other great love …
Darkman (1990)
Darkman, directed by Sam Raimi is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars Liam Neeson as Peyton Westlake aka Darkman.
Yet another comic book taken from the pages and tossed onto the silver screen, Peyton, a scientist is horribly scared after his lab explodes due the …
Disney’s Pinocchio
Disney’s Pinocchio is an animation master piece. Now a lot of people like this new Pixar stuff like Finding Nemo. And they seem to like it because it’s 3D and high tech. But before when animation was done the old fashioned way I thought movies were much better. I really …
Peeping Tom movie
Peeping Tom is perhaps one of most influential films ever, but once you know the story behind the film it gets even more powerful. The director Michael Powell had charmed the world of cinema for decades with his visually groundbreaking epic films like A matter of life and death, …
American Psycho
Christian Bale shines in this movie, being a very ‘bad’ person, if you get what I mean. I think he’s a real psycho deal in this movie, and his character is really so convincingly bad, that I think most good looking guys like him are real bad. This …
Blue Valentine Movie
One of this year’s Oscar contenders, Blue Valentine tells the story of Cindy and Dean, a couple on
the verge of a divorce after a short but beautiful courtship. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams act
their hearts out in this tearjerker and really bring to life these characters along with their …

The Holiday
After watching a bunch of ‘chick flicks’ I actually liked, I figured there would be no harm in renting The Holiday. Boy was I wrong.
This has got to be the longest, most boring film I’ve seen this year.
The movie is about two women, one American and one British, who …
Candleshoe film
Candleshoe is a marvelous little film that stars the great Helen Hayes, the multi-talented Jodie Foster, and the always keen David Niven. Candleshoe is the large and very old manor house that Hayes, as Lady St. Edmund, owns. Niven is her butler, Priory, and Foster is a …
Strange Days movie
This science fiction film by the female director Kathryn Bigelow was hailed as one of the best films of its genre in a long time, but personally I really can’t see where the quality is. It’s the most unbelievable and unlogical story (even as a science fiction) about characters …
The Notebook movie
The Notebook is one of the sweetest movie i have ever watched. It’s the top one on my list.The story is about Allie and Noah.The first time Noah ask Allie to have date was really horrible. If you can just can see me now I’m laughing. It’s horrible …

The Rookie movie
If you enjoy watching classic action movies, with tough and uncompromising characters, this one is for you. Despite the fact that it was created 18 years ago, this film is still fun to watch. It tells the story of a young inexperienced cop David Ackerman (Charlie Sheen)and his stern …
The Sons of Mistletoe (2002 Film)
Recently, for the holiday season, I came across a movie that was being showed on ABC Family called “The Sons of Mistletoe”. The film came out in 2001. Being that the film was on ABC Family, I figured I could count on this film being one that was heartwarming …
Scream 2
I give most of my reviews on DVD movies, due to the fact that I love watching television and movies.
When I first watched this movie, I was interested and intrigued from the start of it until the end. To me, the movie was very suspenseful and dramatic. Everytime there …
The Last Airbender Movie (2010)
There was too much gossip and too much type before this movie was even screened and I didn’t really like these type of movies as I don’t like all those Qi stuff, but I still watched this as I would always give something the benefit of the doubt and …

Illusion travels by streetcar movie
One of Bunuel’s less known films tells a story about a couple of mexican crooks hijacking a street car in Mexico City. It takes place in one whole day and these crooks experience a number of different things they would never had expected. It feels a lot like a …
Zodiac (R, 2007) movie
I will admit that this movie seemed a little slow to me at first. I had seen the other Zodiac movie (slightly better than a B movie) and this one was much more thorough. Jake Gyllenhaal provided a very believable performance. But overall, I …
The Forbidden Kingdom, martial arts film
The director of the first two Stuart Little movies and the writer of The Babe are ready to bring you on a journey through ancient China. Instead of keeping things on a cliché level these two men, Rob Minkoff and John Fusco, are spicing things up just a little …
Lucy (science fiction movie)
When I first saw the trailer for Lucy, I just knew that I had to see it. It seemed to have a similar premise to the movie Limitless, and not to mention I’ve been a fan of the actress Scarlett Johansson for the longest while. However, as it got closer …
Day of the Dead movie
Perhaps not as seminal as Night of the Living Dead, and certainly not as loved as Dawn of the Dead; Day of the Dead often seems the forgotten third child in Romero’s zombie saga. But, whilst it may lack the crude and creepy charm of Night, and the raging …
The Deaths of Ian Stone Movie
The Deaths of Ian Stone is one of the more interesting movies released as part of the After Dark Horror Fest series of horror movies. I’ve heard from a lot of people that the movie was just plain bad, or that they hated it. I didn’t hate it, but …
Abandoned The Movie
This was one of the last movies of Brittany Murphy who played Mary Walsh as the abandoned girl friend who tried to search for her boyfriend Dean Cain who happens to be playing games on her as she struggle to fight with people who wanted to take advantage of …
UP movie
I went with my niece Jaime to see the newly release UP movie, I wasn’t so impressed but my niece was, a 5 yr old would be impressed by a lot of things.

127 Hours Movie (2010)
If you love movies inspired by true events and documentaries and if you love action and is the outdoorsy type, you’ll surely love this movie. It’s based on real facts and it’s even much talked-about in the press conferences and interviews before it was actually showed because of it’s …
Joshua Movie
Joshua, filmed in 2002, gives a rather non-traditional account of a (possible) second coming of Christ. A friendly and mysterious stranger comes to a small town and rents a barn to live and work in. Nobody knows who he is or where he is from, only that his name …
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
In the movie “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen” one can see Lindsey Lohan dreaming to become an actress and Megan Fox interpret the role of a mean girl. An interesting fact is that, while in this movie Lohan is the lead actress, in the present situation Megan Fox …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Movie
I always thought that movies based on books are rarely better than the book itself. It is indeed difficult to put in live screen what words have described. For me, the best books that could be made into a movie are the fantasy movies because the imagination is always …
National Treasure Book of Secrets
We saw the sequel to National Treasure Book of Secrets during Christmas break. I like Nicholas Cage, and I enjoyed the first movie so of course we were going to go and see the second movie. This one was not as fast moving as the first, yet I …
Twilight Movie
I have so much to say about this movie, and everybody reading this review will either hate me or love me for it. I’m going to mention from the start that I did not like it at all, and most of this review will be everything that I did …

I am reviewing the Nora Roberts film, Angel’s Fall. So there’s this woman. She used to work in this restaurant cooking. One night a shooter entered the place and shot all of her co-workers, including her best friend. She was the only one left alive. Ever since then, this …
Hell’s House movie
Hell’s House from 1932 is not going to go down as a favorite film of mine. There wasn’t all that much outstanding about it. In fact, it was all pretty average. The one, or should I say two things that it had going for it was …
