In order to give proper respect to new and old Spider-Man fans, I feel it good to do a little review. Spider Man appeared on the comic book scene in the early 1960’s. Peter Parker wore nerdy eye glasses and was a photogropher for the Daily News. Harry Osborne …

Movie Review: “Bleak House” 1985
We have just finished watching “Bleak House,” the almost 7 hour long adaptation of one of the 900+ pages long masterpieces by Charles Dickens. It was the 1985 mini-series version starring Diana Rigg as Lady Deadlock and Denholm Elliott as John Jarndyce, the kind-hearted gentleman entangled in a terrible, …
Lion king 2
This was an alright movie. I liked the first one a lot better than the second one. It was still alright though. I enjoyed seeing all of the characters again in the movie. It was a lot shorter than the first one but I am kind of glad it …
IMAX: Hubble 3D
Yesterday, my husband and I decided to see the movie IMAX: Hubble 3D and boy were we in for a treat. I am not a fan of spending 10$ per person at the movies but we had not seen an IMAX or 3D movie in awhile so it was …
“Easy A” (2010 Film)
The 2010 comedy, “Easy A” was a teenage centered comedy that reflected some of the problems seen in the “Scarlet Letter”. While some of the problems faced by the chatacters in this film are very exagerated, the principle and message behind them are none the less impacting.
Emma Stone (from …
Terminator Salvation
This is the 4th installment of the terminator franchise. I have always loved all the terminator series specially California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger doing the part of the terminator. I was really not sure what to expect with new Terminator movie since Arnold is no longer part of the …
Terminator Salvation
I recently rented Terminator Salvation in the hopes of a pretty engaging action movie with cool special effects and a little bit of good acting thrown in for good measure. I’ve enjoyed previous Terminator flicks and I figured this one couldn’t be too bad given the cast and …
Slumdog Millionaire (movie)
While I have always heard about the top grossing film “Slumdog Millionaire,” it took a long time for me to watch it for myself since I would either forget about it when I had the time, or not have the time to watch it with my busy schedule. Nevertheless, …
Anthony Hemmingway’s Red Tails movie
My husband and I both love movies that are based partly on historical events so when we saw the advertisement for Red Tails on Red Box we decided that we would rent it as a fun movie for the two of us. We only paid $1.20 to rent the …
The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
I expected more from this movie. Yes, it was nice to see Johnny Depp as the funny Captain Jack Sparrow again, and Orlando Bloom as Will Turner with his sword fighting, and of course the beautiful Keira Knightley as Elizabeth. But the story was empty to me. From the …
Move Over, Darling movie
Move Over, Darling is absolutely one of my top two or three favorite Doris Day films. This one co-stars James Garner as her husband. Day plays Ellen Wagstaff Arden, and Garner is Nicholas Arden. He believes that Ellen is dead, when in reality, she’s stranded on …

Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014 Film)
When someone says transformers, instantly what comes to mind is a league of cars that can transform themselves into robots that are called Autobots. I may not have grown up playing with the toys and video games, but I can appreciate the live action films. So to say, I was …

John Carter (movie)
One of the movies that just did not interest me at all when I saw the trailer first was the movie John Carter. I still don’t understand why it didn’t either, since I remember thinking that the movie looked like something I would have sat an enjoyed. However, it …

Inception (2010 movie)
I saw the trailer for this movie in theaters before, and it did not pique my interest. It seemed like just an action movie with some plot that is intended to be epic, but not really so. However, I heard that it is a really intense and deep movie, …
NOMADLAND, the movie (2020)
The film by Chloe Zhao, who acted as writer, director, producer, and editor, really surprised me. It is an adaptation of Jessica Bruder’s novel of the same name, but it is shot in a documentary style. NOMADLAND was a breath of fresh air for me in the world of glamour, …
Avatar the Movie
The very best comparison in order to Avatar is actually that it’s the Star Wars with this decade. Personally, having already been born within 1984 and never having seen the initial Star Conflicts trilogy till I had been 15 or even 16, I’ve never truly understood exactly what the …
Hush Hush Sweet Charlotee (movie)

The Movie Open Range (2003)

Let sleeping corpses lie movie
Italian director Jorge Grau’s unsettling British based zombie movie is one of the most chilling zombie movies in the genre, due to the fusion of horror styles the director incorporates in the film. Grau supplied the blood and guts excessiveness that defined the underground extreme Italian style splatter fests, …
Begotten movie
An experimental and surreal film from the same director who made Shadow of the vampire, the film about the chaotic way Nosferatu was created back in the 1920s. Begotten doesn’t have a definable structure or narrative. As matter of fact it doesn’t even have any dialogue. It’s all about …

Jeepers Creeper (2001)
I don’t know what they may say about Jeepers Creepers but I think this one of the scariest movies I’ve seen. It’s got a sequel Jeepers Creepers II, shown in 2003 but the first one is scarier. The creeper (played by Jonathan Breck) is some kind of …

Autopsy movie 2008

Fast & Furious (4)
Since I’ve watched all the previous installments of Fast And Furious, I knew what to expect from the fourth part. And I was not disappointed. The best thing about this part is Vin Diesel and Paul Walker back together. This could easily be the follow up for the …
Be Kind Rewind movie
The title and cover looked kind of cheesy to me, and so I guess that I was a little reluctant to watch it. I thought that it was going to have poor acting, bad visual effects, and a lame storyline. And it did, but it was absolutely hilarious.
Jack Black …
Failure to Launch dvd
Failure to Launch stars Sarah Jessica Parker & Matthew McConaughey. I am not a big fan of SJP, but I do like Matthew McConaughey and I really enjoyed this movie. I think the whole street heard me laugh at the laughing lizard - it was …

The Abyss Movie
The Abyss is one of those movies that has always inspired me, even if the movie is not really about oceanography and not completely based on the fact of exploring the oceans. I love the idea or just the thought of living in space or under the water. It …
Movie : Imprint
When I heard that Takashi Miike was making an episode I had a lot of mixed feelings. Miike is responsible for a Japanese film any fan of horror movies will know the name of, Audition. That movie was masterfully made with detailed characterization, a quiet uneasiness and …
