Hitch
The other night I was watching the movie Hitch starring Will Smith and I thought I would give my take on this movie. Well I have been a fan of Smith since Fresh Prince and I enjoy many of his action movies. Hitch shows a date doctor whose job …
Widow’s Peak (movie)
I enjoyed this movie very much, not just because it stars the luscious Natasha Richardson, but because the dynamic between Richardson’s character and the character played by Mia Farrow is a delightful tongue-in-cheek account of Anglo-Irish relations that appeals to both my English and Irish ancestors. Their rivalry …

The Descent movie
Neil Marshall may have amassed a cult following with his previous horror effort “Dog Soldiers”, but with The Descent, he really hits his stride as a horror maestro in the makings.
Unlike his testosterone drenched werewolf vs. soldier movie, this time Marshall instead goes the all girl route; offering …
Princess Diaries
The said movie is an adaptation of a book series by Meg Cabot, and although it is entirely different from the book version, I could still describe this movie as “transforming and relatable”.
The movie follows the story of Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway), a gawky freshman student whose life was …
Beyond the Grave movie
I am reviewing the movie, Beyond the Grave, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Barnaby and Sergeant Troy. This movie was made in 2000, was produced by Brian-True-May, and is based off the novel written by Caroline Graham.
In this film, the setting takes place, a majority …
Somewhere movie
I’ve seen many bad movies lately. When I got to see “Somewhere” even if it was a movie for what I have waited a long time. I watched it from inertia. But the movie got me on the wrong foot.
Johnny Marco (played by Stephen Dorff) is a famous action …
Spiderman
Before Batman Begins hit the big screens, I thought that the original Spiderman was the best superhero movie of all time. This movie, much like Batman Begins, tells the story of how Spiderman became to be and I thought they handled all of the backstory VERY well. …
Shoot them up Film
Shoot them up is being directed by Michael Devis its star Clive own and Monica Bellucci in lead and called giamittai as villain. This is basically as action movie. It doesn�t really have any thing more then action. The story is about oven trying to save a child …

S.W.A.T
It is really hard not to like a movie with Samuel L. Jackson in it. At least for me it is. And I love almost everything he does. I’m not a huge Colin Farrell fan after movies like Phone Booth and that weird Jesse James western thing he did, …
Ladies in Lavender movie
I am reviewing the movie, Ladies in Lavender, starring Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, and Daniel Bruhl. It was made in 2004, was produced and directed by Charles Dance, and was produced by Nicolas Brown, Elizabeth Karlsen, and Nik Powell.
Sisters, played by Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, live together …
Unfaithful film
Adrian Lyne’s UNFAITHFUL is a film not for the faint of heart. That is not to say that it is in some way gruesome or graphically gory. It’s sentimentally hard to watch. In UNFAITHFUL, Diane Lane’s character Connie’s motivation for infidelity is not thoroughly or intellectually explored. She appears …

Days of Thunder, directed by Tony Scott is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was June 27, 1990 for United States audience.

As Good As It Gets film
“As Good As It Gets” is a 1997 film with Academy Award-winning performances by Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. It is more of a character study than a plot-driven film, so be aware of that before buying or renting it. Not much happens in the movie. The …
Movie Rundown
The Rock and Sean William Scott play in this movie as the two main characters. They are really good together in this movie, very funny together also. There were two parts in the movie that I thought were really funny. The rest of the movie was also funny but …
The Nativity Story movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Nativity Story, which came out in 2006. This movie starred Keisha Castle-Hughes as Mary, and Oscar Isaac as Joseph. The movie told the story of Mary’s life, and the birth of Jesus. I really liked this movie, but there were some things …

I watched this movie a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed watching this movie. I felt like it was a very interesting and entertaining movie to watch. I think it probably one of the few movies that almost everyone has seen and liked it. I know I have …
Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West
PBS has some of the most interesting shows on TV in our area. One of my favorite ones, they aired in 2002 was “Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West”. It was a Canadian version of Frontier House. My husband says I\’m obsessed with shows of this type …
Trains Planes & Automobiles movie
I watched the movie Trains Planes & Automobiles a long time ago and didn’t remember a whole lot about the movie. So, when I got a chance to watch it again last night, I decided to (there wasn’t anything good on TV now that Monk is off the air).
I …
Requiem for a Dream
Whoever told you that this movie is a wacky comedy, they lied.
It has its amusing moments, mostly the hallucinations of Harry’s mother, but this is a dark and pretty depressing movie.
It could’ve so easily fallen into the hackneyed hammering in of the idea that “drugs are bad …
Role Models movie
Role models was a lot more funnier than I thought it was going to be. The movie has Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd in it. They face jail time but instead of jail they have an opportunity to do community service instead. They have to spend time with …
Twilight movie
Twilight is my favorite movie. It is about a vampire who fell in love with a mortal. That is the conflict in the story because a vampire human relationship is prohibited. Even though the story is quite simple and it looks like another teeny movie. I am …
The Lakehouse (2006) Movie
Life is only travelled once. Today’s moments may be tomorrow’s memories. The movie Lakehouse depicts the story of two people who fell in love through a time difference of two years– a past and a future. Alex (Keannu Reeves) and Kate (Sandra Bullock) proved to the world that …
Movie Taxi Driver
Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece Taxi Driver is probably not only one of his greatest film technically, but also artistically. The social comentary of the film is unsurpassed, which says a lot considering the vast number of social-commentary oriented films made during the 1970’s. Taxi Driver worked not only as a …
Spartacus (1960) Movie
Spartacus (1960) tells the tale of the legendary slave named Spartacus and how he was a gladiator who escaped with others to lead a slave rebellion against the Roman Empire in order to escape to freedom.

Luther,2003 movie
“Luther,” 2003, starring Joseph Fiennes, is a well-done, compelling movie about the beginning of the Reformation. Seeing the questionable practices of the Catholic Church, Luther, a devoted monk, begins to question its teachings. Despite being a monk, he has never read the New Testament; when he does, he is …
Puncture (movie)
“Puncture” was a movie that I just didn’t care to see after I had read a lot of bad reviews on it. Even the trailer did little to stimulate my interest in it, even though later I came to realise that it had a very interesting plot. How I …
Why Did I Get Married? (PG-13, 2007)
Tyler Perry is truly one of the underdog success stories in American filmmaking. His stage plays have brought him tons of success. But I am still waiting for him to make a really riveting movie. “Why Did I Get Married?” is full of stars (Janet Jackson, …
The Far Pavilions,1984 movie
The Far Pavilions, 1984, mini-series, is based on the novel by M.M. Kaye. I have one complaint about the movie: several scenes are done in the dark, leaving you to guess what is taking place. Other than that, the movie is good. The story is about Ashton Pelham-Martyn, or …
Confession of shopaholic movie
I saw this movie yesterday and its really very fun movie. It actully shows the mindset of the one who is addidcted by the disease called shopping. So many people has got such disease that they cant stop their urge to shop more and more, though they have got …
The Invention of Lying
I was expecting The Invention of Lying to be a romantic comedy, and only a decent one, because while I love Ricky Gervais, I do not enjoy the movies which Jennifer Garner does. I figured Gervais’ wonderful, sarcastic, dry, British humour would carry this movie. While Gervais was great, …

Notting Hill
I’m really a big fan of romantic drama. And one of my lifetime favorites is Notting Hill. I don’t know why. I just found that simple beautiful. The storyline is just perfect. The on-off of the two main characters is just brilliant. Drama used to have the same …

Movie Cabin Fever
I would have to say that Cabin Fever is one of my most favorite horror movies. You might think that it is crazy that I say that, but i have a reason for saying that.
the theme of the movie is a flesh eating disease that is responsible …
Swing Vote movie
I am fairly jaded and cynical when it comes to Hollywood. If there’s a movie made about politics, I immediately jump to the conclusion that its trying to shove its left wing ideology down my throat. A lot of times, this is the case, not so however, …
Rocky 5
Rocky 5 with Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, and Tommy Morrison.
Many have called this the worst Rocky sequel. I would have to agree with this rating, but even the worst is not that bad in this case. The characters stay true to form …

The Quick and The Dead
The Quick and the Dead stars Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, and Gary Sinise.
A must see western principally due to the nonstop action and great music. Over the years the quality that makes a western standout has always been memorable music and …
Addicted To Love movie
“Addicted to Love” is all about the actors, Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick going wild with revenge. Although this is a romantic comedy, Ryan chose to interpret a different character then the usual ‘nice girl from next door’.
The story of “Addicted to Love” is about Sam (Broderick) and Maggie …
