Dan in Real Life
You cannot help but adore the actors, Steve Carell and Juliette Binoche is this romantic comedy. To be honest, I found it hard to associate Binoche with a comedy because I have always seen her interprets very serious and difficult characters; however I must admit that she is a …

One of the movies I recently saw at Cinemark 24 in Davie,Florida was the movie Grown ups. It features an all star cast of Rob Schneider,Kevin James,Chris Rock,David Spade,and Adam Sandler. As kids they won a basketball championship together with the help of their coach who happens to die …

Richie Rich
“Richie Rich” is one of the most known movies for the actor, Macaulay Culkin but his acting skills in this movie are in no way comparable to the “Home Alone” movies. Culkin has been nominated for the Razzie Awards for his interpretation in this movie.
I recently watched this movie …

Richard Attenborough’s Chaplin (movie)
After watching a couple interviews with the actor Robert Downey Jr, I became interested in him as a person and as an actor. However, it occurred to me almost at that moment that I really don’t know much about him and haven’t watched many of his movies. Therefore, I …
Zoom
When the movie Zoom came out, it had two strikes against it in my opinion. First, it was about a bunch of kids with super powers; something that has been done way too many times in my opinion. Secondly, it starred Tim Allen. I like his stand up comedy. …
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. …
Enchanted (Movie)
This movie was hilarious. It features a modern fairy tale story set in the present time and what I like about it most is that the famous and cool James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men) is actually such a romantic prince here and he does a very great job at …
Let Me In movie
So I rented Let Me In the other night and I must say this movie truly scared the hell out of me. It really did something to me I had not felt in years. I didn’t know this was a monster movie but was really surprised. It’s of a love …
Movie Martian Child
This was a really good movie. John Cusack does an amazing job in it. He adopts this little boy who tells everyone he is from “red planet”. All of the actors do a really good job in it. The movie kept me entertained throughout the whole movie. There are …
Cloverfield DVD
This by far was one of the most highly anticipated DVD releases for me. I remember seeing Cloverfield in theaters on opening night. I really enjoyed the unique style the movie brought out to its audience. The way it was presented overall was one of a kind. Although I …
Movie Iron Man (2008)
Iron Man (2008) is an action film by Jon Favreau that’s rated PG-13 for some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and brief suggestive content.
Iron Man is based on the famous comic book about a man named Tony Stark, who is both a billionare playboy, and a genius …
Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Rust Never Sleeps
Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Rust Never Sleeps is a great, classic movie for all lovers of rock and roll. I adore Neil Young and consider him to be one of the greatest musicians ever. Neil Young’s guitar sound is like no other, as is his voice. Rust Never …
Popeye Movie
I got the movie Popeye as a Christmas gift last year but never sat down to watch it because I’ve seen it before and, even though I couldn’t remember much about it, I remembered it wasn’t the best movie ever.
However, my oldest daughter, who loves the cartoons, wanted to …
Diary of the Dead movie
After his belated return to his roots with Land of the Dead a few years prior, Romero turns prolific once more with Diary of the Dead; an interesting take on the genre with a hand held, documentary tactic employed perhaps most famously with Cloverfield.
It’s an interesting idea, and …
The Call of the Wild, film (2020)
On the whole, I liked this film. It is kind, heartfelt, sincere, and even touching in some places. But the plot is not devoid of sins, clichés, and too simple script decisions. I know that the movie is based on a novel by Jack London. Let me tell you right …
Alice in Wonderland movie
Tim Burton is a genius. I need to state my opinion on that. I have loved most of his movies, and his collaboration with Johnny Depp, is one of my favorite actor/director combinations. I also need to state that I have a deep affection for Lewis Carroll and the …
Charlie Bartlett movie
Once in a while a teen coming of age movie comes along that I really like, and “Charlie Bartlett” became one of those. In fact, I marveled that I did not hear about it before when it was obvious that the movie was released fairly recently. It starred actors …
Smokin Aces movie
Smokin’ Aces is a high energy action packed movie about an assassination hit put out by the mod on a snitch named Buddy “Aces” Israel. Israel is a small-time Las Vegas show performer who is trying to save his own neck with the FBI by turning informant. The mob …
The Gravedancers
The title of this movie, The Gravedancers is very scary already. I screamed like a mad woman on some really scary scenes. I would warn viewers out there to bring all your sweater jackets, shawl, some warm drinks and good peanuts as the more this movie gets …
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 …
Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh has been a favorite cartoon show among kids and kids-at-heart alike. Pooh bear, with his friends Christopher Robbin, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eyore, Owl, Helufun, Kessie, Kanga, and Roo all provide kiddie entertainment like no other. Each episode is fully-packed with exciting stories and adventures to tell …

Boys don’t cry
I watched this movie when it aired on lifetime. I mostly watched it because Hillary Swank was in it and it was on lifetime. I didn’t really care for the movie. Not because of what it was about but because I didn’t really understand the movie. It’s about a …
Alaipayuthae
Alaipayuthae was a fantastic romantic film by Maniratnam. He directed the movie for his own production house ‘Madras Talkies’. The movie was released on April 14, 2000. That was on Tamil New Year. I watched the movie on ‘First Day First Show’ with my friends. …
Dark Crystal (DVD)
There is a lot of fanfare around this Jim Henson and Frank Oz movie, which supposedly features some fantastic looking puppets. It is one of the movies released for PSP and has been hyped a lot. Supposedly it is a great movie. After watching five minutes of it I …
Pledge This movie
I’m far from being a Paris Hilton fan. She’s an OK actress but isn’t someone that is going to have me going out of my way to rent a movie just to watch her. But, of all the movies we watched this past weekend, her film “Pledge This” surprisingly …
Saw
Saw is a new kind of horror film that I had never seen before, the movie came off tacky at times, but it was interesting and cool enough to let the small things go, the plot I think is really good and kept me interested, 2 people wake up …
Vexille, CGI anime film
I applaud Vexille for taking a different direction in its CG animation, but the lack of characterization and story really hurt it in the long run.
In the year 2067, an international law restricted the use of robotic technology. In protest of this law, Japan decided to isolate itself from …
Blonde Joke Videos
It’s probably not politically correct to make fun of blondes any longer, but I ran across several lately that made me laugh at least. They can be found on Youtube.com and probably in similar places like Google Video.
The first of these a very cute blonde video, or maybe it’s …

Holiday in Handcuffs
ABC Family’s holiday movie, Holiday in Handcuffs can be summarized in three words; cute but predictable.
While I like the concept behind this movie (a waitress kidnaps a customer and pretends he’s her boyfriend at her family Christmas gathering), I do think the story used a few too many cliches …
The Runaway Bride,1999 movie
“The Runaway Bride” is a romantic comedy, light, witty, and well-made, although perhaps with a bit unrealistic premise. Maggie Carpenter (Julia Roberts) is a small town woman who has become a local celebrity of sorts for leaving several fiances at the altar and running away - just like that, …
UHF movie
A complete idiot takes control of a TV station by accident and gets the opportunity to make any broadcasts he wants.
UHF is one of those comedies from the 1980s that hasn’t really survived until these days. When it first came out people regarded it as very funny and original, …
Kicking and Screaming (2005)

Hitman: Agent 47, 2015 Action/Thriller Movie
I have always loved the Hitman franchise, and after watching the trailer of this movie, my expectations were at apex. It is the reboot of the 2007 film “Hitman”. Unfortunately, i am disappointed from this movie. It made the original movie film look like a masterpiece. The filmmakers tried to …
Surf’s Up
When I first saw previews to Surf’s Up, the first thing I thought was ‘Not another penguin movie.’ But, after taking the time to watch it last night, I have to admit it was probably the best out of those I’ve seen.
Unlike other Penguin movies, Surf’s Up doesn’t take …
Baby Mama
I was a little wary of seeing the movie “Baby Mama.” Its rated PG-13, first of all, and I’ve noticed that most PG-13 movies these days are geared towards the youngsters who are limited to that rating. Second of all, the topic itself… the concept of a hopeful mother …
Movie: iMurders
Synopsis: FBI agents attempt to catch a killer stalking a group of people participating in an on-line chatroom.
What I liked about this movie: I’m a big fan of movies that have a realistic plot and there’s nothing more realistic than someone stalking people they met online and murdering them. …
Live Free or Die Hard
There are movies that make you say, “that was good.” There are movies that make you say, “wow.” However there are very few movies that make you say, “Wow, that was good.” That’s exactly what I said when I finished watching Live Free or Die Hard. The movie follows …
Grindhouse: Death Proof (2007)
This movie is a twisted tale from director Quentin Tarantino about a stuntman who went on a rampage killing a few women and got off any charges due to lack of evidence, the officials involved ruled that it was an accident as the girls were intoxicated. How it all …
127 Hours Movie
127 Hours is the true story of Aron Ralston, a daring young man who, when hiking in the mountains of
Colorado, falls into a small canyon and gets his arm caught by a hefty boulder. James Franco portrays
the daredevil in this extremely true to life narrative and does a wonderful …
Opera movie
Dario Argento’s film begins in the most magnificent way I have ever seen. With a constantly moving camera Argento reveals certain images that fills me with excitement and suspense. It seems to go on and on, just until the camera stops, and somebody gets brutally murdered. This murder could …
Pink Panther,2006 movie
I went to see the new “Pink Panther” with Steve Martin yesterday. My opinion is that it’s a worth-to-see-once kind of movie. I had some good laughs, but there were some jokes that annoyed me (below-the-waist humor; thankfully, there wasn’t too much of it).
Steve Martin is a good comedy …
