Gone, Baby Gone (R, 2007) movie
Ben Affleck is certainly not one of my favorite actors. But he just might have me on being one of the better producer/ directors to get behind the camera. He cast his little brother Casey in this gritty role of a private detective who has been asked …
Winter’s Bone movie
Winter’s Bone may depress you from the first footage. You see children happy and unaware of the dirt that surrounds them and in all this time their big sister “streamlines” their potato ratios.
The story is classic: a young woman is forced to grow their little brothers and her sick …

DADDY DAY CARE Movies
Wow, this movie was funny (of course it had Eddie Murphy, the king of laughs in it) and actually had good morals to it. It is basically about a Dad that finds himself without job and being the typical guy that he is, he desperately wants to find something …

When Harry Met Sally is the ultimate boy meets girl, girl doesn’t like boy, boy meets girl again and they become friends, boy and girl fall in love and get married story. I love this movie! I know, it’s a little, sappy love story and it was filmed a …
We Are Marshall DVD
Sometimes, the unexpected happens when you’re watching a movie. This is the second time I can remember when I thought I was going to watch a sports movie and ended up watching a flick about the human spirit. The first time was when I saw “Brian’s Song” with …

50 First Dates
I think this is one of the sweetest romantic comedies out there. I love Adam Sandler in this movie and have thought it was a classic movie since it came out. I tend to watch it every time I find it on the TV. I have it either on …
Movie The love guru
This was an overall alright movie I thought. I just didn’t care for it all that much. I think it was the type of movie it was. I think it could have been a lot of better especially with the actors that were in it. Jessica Alba, Mike Myers …

Movie: “Stand By Me” (1986)
This movie is based on the novella “The Body” by Stephen King. I was very happy to see that, for once, the movie closely followed the original story; and actually did it justice.
It’s 1960 in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine; and a boy named Ray Brower has …

Goodbye First Love by Mia Hansen-Love (2012 film)
Movies draw on snippets of reality to make us closer to life itself when we watch, to condition our minds to believe. How reality can arise from a movie so clearly that it overwhelms is a rare experience. Very few movies are able to touch on that …
Reno 911! Miami (Movie)
Reno 911! is a television show that I’ve watched since it first started. When I first saw the previews for their first full length movie, I couldn’t wait to see it. I dragged a friend with me to the theater, and while he loved it, I found it fairly …
Liar,Liar movie

Deception, Marcel Langenegger Movie
Plot taken for the film is simple, namely on guile someone to lie to other people and I think that is very interesting, packed by the director. Hugh Jackman combination with Erwan McGregor is very good and can offset one with the other.
This story started when Jonathan McQuarry …
One Missed Call movie
One missed call is a great movie. It has great actors in it, a good storyline and kept me interested throughout the movie. The ending could have been a little bit better but it was still a good ending. It started off really good, once I started watching it …
A Clockwork Orange (starring Malcolm McDowell)
Malcolm McDowell played it good. I watched the DVD A Clockwork Orange and it has a rather interesting plot in which it is involved with a bit of an experimentation issue and all. Malcolm plays a bad guy character and after being caught, he is being put through …
Big Momma House 1 & 2
The films, Big Momma House 1 and 2 are a huge tribute to the bravery of the actor, Martin Lawrence. I believe that Martin Lawrence is one of the best comedians of our time along with Rowan Atkinson.
In “Big Momma House” we see Lawrence interpret the role of FBI …

Anger Management (movie)
Anger Management is a movie with Adam Sander and Jack Nicholson as Dave and Dr. Rydell, respectively. You might wonder how these two actors play off each other, and I felt they did very well in Anger Management. I like Adam Sandler but really adore Jack Nicholson. Adam Sandler …
Hitman movie
I was not at all impressed with this movie. I wasn’t even planning on renting it because of the uneventful trailers that I saw on television. However, when my boyfriend brought it home to watch because some friends of ours wanted to see it, I took one for the …
Hangover 3 Movie
Misled by the trailer (it presents everything that is best in movie), I witnessed the incredible efforts of some talentless actors of turning a bland scenario into a humorous story that just might bring a smile or two. The movie does not differ from the mediocre comedies for American …
Moving Target movie
Moving Target could have a decent movie, but it just drags way too much to be more than so-so. The plot has some intrigue to it, but it’s poorly directed with too many long pauses and too much murkiness. I say that even though there is a …
Gladiator Movie (2000)
Gladiator is a movie that came out in 2000 that stars Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius, a Roman soldier who is loyal to the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Marcus is murdered by his son Commodus who tries to kill Maximus but he survives and is captured by slavers …
Murder in Swingtime movie short

Movie “Salt” (2010)
I was excited to see this film because the previews looked fun. A female James Bond who may or may not be a double agent and it stars Angelina Jolie. How great does that sound? Well the movie had a great premise but the end …

A Kid in King Arthur’s Court
I have seen a book entitled “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” in my aunt’s library at her house which was written apparently by the author Mark Twain. However, I have never made an attempt to read the book so I am not sure if it is related …
Movie Enchanted
I usually like movies based on fairy tales and, overall, the film Enchanted wasn’t bad. But, I think the movie used too much of the same-old format to make it good.
Amy Adams was decent as a princess who is sent from a fairy-tale world to New York City. But, …
(500) Days of Summer movie
If you like romantic comedies this is, in my opinion, the best of the year. Believe it or not, as a fan of all things romantic, I’ve a very low tolerance for the cheese-factor in film scripts. Yep, I still pride myself on being a realist. …
Dead Like Me: In Escrow
I pretty much like this particularly episode of Dead Like Me. It’s called In Escrow and deals with the Lass home, which has been on the market. Linda, the realtor, calls and says someone wants to buy the house, so now they go into escrow.
Teryl Rothery plays …
Julie and Julia movie
I literally had no interest in this movie when I saw it advertising to be released in theatres. In fact, I just assumed that it would be one of those movies that had one or two A-list actors in it that they promoted a lot, but would have no …
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone movie
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is one of the series of J.K. Rowling’s 7 series of Harry Potter Saga. Each and every one of them is the world’s best movie ever. I love The Philosopher’s Stone and all of her other movie. You can’t deny that it’s great …
Johnny English
Starring: Rowan Atkinson (Johnny English), Ben Miller (Bough) John Malkovich (Pascal Sauvage ), Lorna Campbell (Natalie Imbruglia)
I think the name of Rowan Atkinson itself attracted me to this movie. Having known him as that disgusting yet endearing Mr Bean and his absurd antics, he did not disappoint at …
Weather Man: movie
Weather Man, starring Nicholas Cage, was released in number of years ago and was not highly successful in the box office. Perhaps this was because it was such a “different” kind of movie. It wasn’t quite a comedy, though it had some funny parts, and it wasn’t …
The Book of Eli Movie
A film with Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, an apocalypse, and books. How could this movie be bad? Well, ‘The Book of Eli’ makes it look easy.
The opening scene had me expectant of a good watch. I liked the way the film looked; excellent use of light and shadow, earthy …

The Bounty Hunter (2010)
I have loved Gerard Butler since seeing him do comedy on The Ugly Truth, he can be such a natural jerk and it makes me wonder if he’s really like that in person, just curious because he’s so good at what he does! Anyway, this story sets on Gerard …
Howl’s Moving Castle (2004 movie)

Notes on a Scandal Movie
The fact that only select cinemas screened this movie meant something and when I saw that it was a European movie, I knew it was going to be good! I kind of knew what to expect: lengthy dialogues, character-driven plots, and a very unique story.
The movie started with …
Alien 3
Perhaps the entry into the franchise that divides opinion more than most; Alien 3 legacy is as evolving as the planning stages that originally promised such an elaborate and original tale.
While dreams of a wooden planet, filled with a cast of devout monks and glorious imagery were never …
