She’s The Man movie
*Contains Spoilers*
I have to start off and say this has been one of my favorite movies since 1) I saw it in the theater and 2) When it came out during this past 2006 Summer.
I have to admit that the movie is highly unrealistic on a few levels. One …
Can I do It Till I Need Glasses (movie)
I do not exactly remember where I saw the film “Can I do It—¦Till I Need Glasses” anymore, but I do know that the reason why I paid it any attention in the first place is because I was told that the film starred a young robin Williams. Nevertheless, …
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011 Movie)

The Wicker Man Remake
This is, without a doubt, one of the worst movies I have seen in my entire life. Of course, at the same time, it is also one of the funniest, solely because it is one of the most pitiful excuses for entertainment I have ever encountered. Which is a …

Movie: “Enchanted” (2007)
“Enchanted” is, in a word, enchanting. I was very impressed at this sweet and charming film; it’s wonderful for the whole family and I believe it will be a classic for years to come.

Planet of the Apes
I was watching the film Planet of the Apes on TV the other day and have to say, considering when the movie was made, it is still one of the better science fiction tales you will come across.
There are two reasons I feel this way. One is the make …

Bloodsport (movie )
While I like some action movies, I generally do not like those that include the actors Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Segal since I have noticed that while these movies are usually jam packed with action scenes, they also usually have the same cliché characters and these action movies …

The Hunger Games (movie)

The Prestige movie
The Prestige is a very well made movie. It has become known as a movie about stage magicians, but I would not hesitate to call it a psychological thriller, because the essence of the story is not in magic tricks (although those abound, and are fascinating). We go deep …

I’m going to be completely honest and say that I had absolutely no intention of watching the movie Red 2 since I felt that it wasn’t going to be as good as the first movie. My feelings about it strengthened when I saw the trailer for it and noticed …
Living in Oblivion
I’m not a huge Steve Buscemi fan. I’ve always thought he was better as a character actor in a small role than a lead actor. But, I got a chance to watch his 1995 film “Living in Oblivion” and was admittedly impressed with it.
I never heard of this movie …

Duplex, movie
Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore do a wonderful job in pulling off this bright comedy about a couple trying to survive their first home owner’s experience. I thought this film was playful, funny and even a bit telling in how we all sometimes fall for things that are too good …
