The New World (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The New World” starring Collin Ferrell, Christian Bale and Q’orianka Kilcher is a beautifully romantic tale that captures the rough and heart breaking story of Pocahontas. Not only was this story a version of Pocahontas that perhaps many are not familiar with, but shows in depth …
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 …
Phat Girlz
I’m not a big “Chick Flik” guy but when I read the description of Phat Girlz and how it’s about a woman who tries to create a clothing line for bigger women, I was a bit intrigued. Too bad the movie is nothing like it’s description.
The problem with Phat …
Georgia Rule
This movie Georgia Rule, is a very heartwarming movie about 3 generation ages. One is a grandma, a mother character, and last but not least, a grand-child. These 3 characters are played by Lindsay Lohan, Jane Fonda and my most favorite actress, Felicity Huffman. She is …

Forever Lulu is a 2000 movie that took forever to be released. In fact, the independent picture never did make a real theatrical run and was ultimately released on DVD. However, while foreign titles went under the film name of Forever Lulu, in the United States, the …
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
This movie was, in a word, charming. I went to this movie with a couple of my friends and I think they enjoyed it too. I haven’t seen any other movies with these actors, but I think I would. The movie was light despite the melancholy setting (right at …
The Forbidden Kingdom
For the second time, I watched Jacky Chan’s and Jet Li’s movie The Forbidden Kingdom on my way home from a TV and DVD showing on my bus ride. Due to the traffic, I kind of watched the whole movie again and I never thought I will be enjoying …
Halloween (UR, 2007) movie
I am not too proud to admit that I thought this movie would be a piece of garbage. But I was sooo totally and completely pleased with how this movie was made. Thinking that it would be a convoluted and cartoonish remake of the original thriller, …
Movie: Shawshank Redemption
My wife and I intended on watching Last House on the Left last night. But, the kids were still awake and we knew we would like the movie better if we had peace and quiet. So, instead, we ended up watching the Stephen King movie Shawshank Redemption.
This was the …
Taken 2 (2012 movie)
I watched the original Taken movie, which was actually pretty good so I, for one, am glad to see another movie made. Before the movie, I was really worried that it isn’t going to be as interesting as the first one. Loved the gun fights, fist fights, and car …

This is a website that has a lot of different information about movies. My favorite thing about this website is that they have movie trailers/previews you can watch and you can add the previews to sites you want such as a blog or your social networking page. I also …
Revolutionary Road movie
After eleven years from the movie ‘Titanic’, the actors Kate Winslet and Leonardo diCaprio reunite again on the set of “Revolutionary Road”. This reunion comes in a very different atmosphere from the first movie because this time directing the movie is Sam Mendes, Winslet’s husband.
“Revolutionary Road” is the …
Bones
As there are no famous actors in this series, I believe that the writers are the true stars. The cast is well chosen and work well together, but I feel that the complex, intriguing story lines are the factors that make this show a winner.
The …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
What an amazing movie. At first glance, it seemed like it had the ability to be good and bad. I had heard of books before, but never really knew about what Pirates of the Caribbean was about, except for Pirates sailing in the Caribbean.
Let’s start with the concept of …
Moulin Rouge (Movie)
Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it a lot of times and have never failed to enjoy and feel emotional during the movie. What I like about it most are the songs. The first time I watched it, I was pleasantly …

A Haunting: Seasons 1&2 (DVD
I have been dying to get my hands on the DVD set of “A Haunting” a television program that comes on one of those cable channels. Anyway, this program features real stories of hauntings occurring all over the U.S. But before you go thinking that it …
THE ISLAND MOVIE DVD
I hope I am not the only person who was totally NOT impressed with this movie. I found THE ISLAND to be entirely predictable after about 30 minutes. I try so hard not to figure out the endings of movies, or what is REALLY going on, because, when they …
Movie The Invasion
Overall it was an alright movie. It’s nothing like I thought it was going to be. It would be an alright movie to watch on a rainy day but if you are looking for a really good movie I wouldn’t choose this one. It did keep me some what …
Pathfinder, epic action film by Marcus Nispel
I had so many reasons I didn’t want to see this movie. For starters the director made the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the one that came out in 2003. How could somebody that made that disappointing movie make a barbarian movie? Then you have the fact that this movie opened …
300 movie
If there is any war movie I love watching over and over again, it is the 300 staring Gerard Butler as King Leonidas. The 300 is the story of the Spartans battling the Persian army led by the God-King Xerxes.
They waged their battle in the infamous Hot Gates paving …
The Spiderwick Chronicles
When my roommate rented this, I was expecting another Eragon, an unoriginal fantasy that rehashes the same elements that we’ve seen before. The fact that this movie was brought to us by the same studio that gave us “Good Burger” did nothing to squelch my fear that we …
Redbox red movie vending machine
Redbox, for those that don’t know what it is, are those big red movie vending machines that can be found at most Wal-Marts, Walgreens, gas stations and McDonalds. They’re basically everywhere. Sometimes you’ll find two of them in one location if they get a lot of business. Whoever invented …
Gangster (movie), 2006
I watched Gangster on TV and I really liked the film. It released on 28th April, 2006. I could not watch the movie at theatre because I had my University exam in May, 2006. But I really wished to watch it at theatre especially after the controversy that this …
Cake
I truly love this DVD movie, Cake. If I’m not mistaken, this movie was released during 2004 or 2005 and it starred the very gorgeous Heather Graham.
She played the character of Pippa McGee and she is a very charming and extremely funny lady and I always love …
Romancing the Stone movie (1984)
(Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito)
Hollywood movies simply don’t get any better than this! Romancing the Stone is pure escapist entertainment: high adventure, lowly villains, handsome heroes, gorgeous—”and brainy—”women in distress, occasionally clumsy yet resourceful villainous sidekicks, incredible locations and a fun and sumptuous soundtrack.
Turner plays …

Sleepy Hollow
Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Sleepy Hollow. And, I have to say I enjoyed it as much as I did first time I saw it.
Of all the movies that are based on classic tales, this spin on Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow …
On the Outs (R, 2004) movie
I had never heard of this movie before. But when I saw that it was about three troubled teenaged girls on the East Coast, I was immediately intrigued. This is because independent films featuring adolescents in New York or New Jersey (which this story took place) …

Movie Watchmen
If you are looking for a regular super hero movie about people with special powers who are trying to save the world I think this film will disappoint you. Although it is about saving the world and about people with special powers it is certainly not a regular superhero …
Davincci code/movie
When I read Dan Brown’s novel The Davincci Code a couple of months ago, I couldn’t wait for the movie to come out.
Now that I’ve seen the movie, I kind of wish I hadn’t.
Overall, it wasn’t bad. But, I just felt very unsatisfied watching it. In fact, at times …
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 …
Erin Brockovich
If you want a movie that embodies the term “girl power”, it is definitely the feature film Erin Brockovich. Other than it being the movie that won Julia Roberts an Oscar for Best Actress in 2001, it narrates the life story of the eccentric but street-smart main character …
Movie: Kung Fu Panda
“Kung Fu Panda” is a 2008 animated film about Po, a fat noodle-selling Panda in China who loves kung fu and dreams of a more exciting life. It is a Dreamworks film, which means it has some decent animation but falls far short of a Pixar movie.
Pros: …
