Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?
I have some special memories of Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?, the 1968 film that starred Doris Day and Robert Morse. My childhood best friend and I went to see this movie on the same day that we later went to the state fair. …
Ocean’s Thirteen
I am a big fan of the Ocean’s movies. I loved the first one, thought twelve was ok at best. I believe Ocean’s Thirteen is a return to form for the Ocean’s movies. The things I didn’t like about Twelve are fixed in this movie. …
The Notebook (movie)
With Valentine’s day coming up (or even if you’re reading this after that day), this might be a good movie to check out. The Notebook is the movie version of Nicholas Sparks’ book, as you probably already know. As with all of the other stories that this …
Disney’s The Little Mermaid (1989)
Ever wondered if there are actually people living under the sea, breathing water as if it was air. A family of mer-people, unknown to the world above, they live in secret from the humans…as they deem humans to be very hostile creatures.
Disney takes you underwater for an epic animated …
Elf Bowling: The Movie
I’m still looking for new Christmas movies to watch this year; mostly because I’m getting tired of the same stories every year. This is why I ended up loading the movie Elf Bowling on our Netflix player yesterday.
I didn’t know what to expect from a movie based on a …
Desperate Escape movie
Though made in 2009, Desperate Escape only premiered on the Lifetime Movie Channel in February 2010. Make no mistake this is a B-movie with a standard, much-used plot and not a single surprise within in, unless you’re new to TV and movies. What it does have, however, …
First Harry Potter Movie
The movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, directed by Chris Columbus, is a great movie! First of all, I am a huge Harry Potter fan who has read all of these books over and over and over, so while excited about the movies, I was also nervous about …
Dirty Deeds, 2005
“Dirty Deeds” is a comedy some kids will like, but if you prefer smart humor, don’t bother. West Valley High School has a funny tradition: every year during the homecoming week one of the students takes up the challenge of committing “10 Dirty Deeds” - 10 pranks that progress …
Movie Firewall
Firewall with Harrison Ford and Virginia Madsen.
What a crappy movie this was. Harrison Ford looks 100 years old and tries to get by with his trademark angry face. Madsen is chunky and they try to hide her enormous rump. Aside from these main …
A night in the museum
Well, this movie is fascinating. It’s a different story altogather but the plot is not different or a good one. It starts like, there is a man who is sort of jobless and is having troubles. His son wants to emulate someone else and not him. The man wants …
Movie Accepted
I am a person who normally avoids movies about college life. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed classics like Animal House, but it seems most college-themed movies focus almost solely on showing as many naked co-eds as possible and the films really lack substance.
That’s why I’m glad I got …
Sunshine DVD Movie
When you talk about the movie review on Sunshine, I have the impression of the movie of The Titans. This movie is basically about sunlight, yes, and I thought it was a pretty boring story, yet again on DVD. My brother has loads of it, and I …
The Borrowers movie
The Borrowers was a 1973 presentation from the Hallmark Hall of Fame, but the first time I saw it was just this week. Though the movie has a wonderful cast, it just wasn’t really my style for some reason.
I realize that the special effects, so to speak, were …
Tropic Thunder
Tropic Thunder is the hilarious chronicle of the making of a movie about Vietnam where the director is ‘inspired’ to take his cast deep into the Vietnam jungle so that they can capture the movie in real time and give it a ‘gritty’ feel to the entire drama. It has …
United 93, Paul Greengrass Movie
September 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 93 flying from Newark Airport to San Francisco. Meanwhile, the FAA and the airport control tower in New York to detect any three commercial aircraft hijack which are in a situation. True and not long two planes hit twin towers, the World Trade …
Birth of a Nation movie
Perhaps the single most influential film ever made is this silent milestone by american pioneer filmmaker D.W. Griffith. It tells a very complex melodrama taking place during the american civil war. It’s difficult to watch a film like this through the same eyes as the people did when it …
“Get Him To The Greek” (2010 film)
I’ll say right up front that I don’t much care for Russell Brand, and although his performance as British rock star Aldous Snow in 2008’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” was a good and humorous counterpoint to sad-sack lead Jason Segel, in general I find him sort of irritating-his hosting gig …
Death Becomes Her comedy
Death Becomes Her is a 1992 comedy that pits Meryl Streep against Goldie Hawn. The two are mortal enemies, something that goes back two decades when one stole the other’s fiance. Both women are also obsessed with staying young and beautiful. In fact, unbeknownst to each …
Must Love Dogs. A Movie
I recently bought the movie “Must Love Dogs” from Big Lots for only three dollars and I really thought it was cute. I had never seen it before and my thought was that for only three dollars if it was bad than I could just throw it away. …
Breakfast in Hollywood movie
Breakfast in Hollywood from 1946 has some very delightful moments in it. Apparently, this was a real radio show that was broadcast in Hollywood with host Tom Breneman, who appears as himself in this motion picture that uses his show as a catalyst for several small sub stories.
The …
An Affair to Remember movie
No, Warren Beatty was not crazy in deciding to remake the film An Affair to Remember, I have to say he has attained a certain degree of success. Now it is time to examine the real deal for what it is worth. In the heyday of black …
Iron Man
I just saw Iron Man in at the theater and I must say it’s one of the best super hero movies I’ve seen in a while. I was blown away by this movie. I just loved the acting and the script. I also really liked the storyline. They did a …
Dear John movie
Dear John is a beautiful and moving love story based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. It captures the new love between Savannah (Amanda Seyfried) and John (Tatum Channing) with playful tenderness as well as searing emotional intensity associated with first love. Watching their first kiss in the rain …
Meet the Fockers movie
I am reviewing the sequel to Meet the Parents, which was Meet the Fockers. It came out in 2005 and starred all the actors from the previous film, in addition to Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Greg Focker’s parents. In this movie, Greg Focker joins his fiance’s family …
Passengers 2016 Film (PG-13)
Passengers is a 2016 film by Sony that stars Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. Depending on the preview I saw before it was released, it either came across as a sci-fi adventure or a love story that happened to be set in space. My wife and I recently saw the …
Daddy Day Camp movie
I watched Daddy Day Camp with my sister a few days ago. Neither of us were very interested in it. I usually like kid’s movies, but I didn’t care for this one. My sister never did finish watching all of the movie, she just kept rewinding and fast forwarding …
Just Like Heaven, Mark Waters Movie
Elizabeth Masterson is a surgeon who is workaholic. It feels life is more expendable in the hospital where he worked than socializing with other people. But, until now is reasonable, if Elizabeth is still single. Until a traffic accident when a change lives. Elizabeth now can only lay coma, …
The Other Boelyn Girl
The interesting thing about movies based on the life of a real historical figure is you sometimes get a point of view that is different than you would come to expect. And, that difference makes the movie much better than you expected it to be.
The Other Boleyn Girl is …
Corpse Bride (movie)
Corpse Bride is a 2005 animation, fantasy and musical movie directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson. I decided to watch this movie after I watched Coraline, which was one of the best animation movies that entertained me really well. The reason why I linked this movie to Coraline …
Netflix.com
If you’re a movie lover but don’t enjoy the hassle of taking trips to the store, standing in line, and taking the movies back to the store to return them, I recommend signing up for a Netflix account. I joined just three short months ago and I LOVE …

Meet the Robinsons
Lately, when I’ve seen a Disney cartoon, I’ve been very disappointed in it. It seems Disney makes an effort to make a children’s cartoon but, in the interest of attracting an older crowd, always tries to make the cartoon more adult. The end result is nobody really enjoys it.
Meet …
Gone Girl (2014 film)
I’m another one of those very crazy Gone Girl fans that have also read the book. My very first introduction to Gone Girl was when I read, pretty desperately, this critically acclaimed novel in less than three days, often surrendering to feelings of “please, just another chapter” and discovering …
Avengers: Age of Ultron (Superhero Film)
Marvel, Marvel, Marvel. The only time a Marvel movie turned out right was when the first Avengers movie came out and even then- way too much action. Avengers: Age of Ultron is one of those movies where the visuals draw you in but the story spits you out. If you …
George Lucas in Love Movie
A mixture of romance, documentary and comedy about a young George Lucas finding his inspiration to the Star Wars films. As the Star Wars fan I am, it was very interesting to see how George might have been inspired by different characters in his own life and putting them …
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale is a fantasy film directed by Uwe Boll and is rated PG-13 for intense battle sequences.

Bad and Beautiful (1952)
“The Bad and the Beautiful” is an MGM movie filmed in black and white, lasting 118 minutes. It is a taut, well-crafted movie that left me alternately liking, despising, and admiring Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas). These emotions seemed to be those of the main characters as well.
“The Bad …
Milk movie
I recently saw the movie Milk with Sean Penn. He is a really good actor and played this part perfectly. I wasn’t familiar with the real Harvey Milk, but I felt like I was after watching Penn’s portrayal.
Harvey Milk was the first openly gay councilmen to be elected …
Serious Moonlight Movie (2009)
Serious Moonlight is a movie that aspired to be so much more than it actually ended up being. It had an amazing cast on board: Justin Long, Kirstin Bell, Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton, and they have done a really good job. But the plot, starting the concept level …
Nana (anime)
The series manga/anime series “Nana” is an absolute blast. The story follows two 20-year old girls, both named “Nana” who meet coincidentally twice, and become room mates and best friends. One Nana, Nana Osaki is a punk singer who wants to debut with her band as soon as possible …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.1: Pilot
I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous about what this show was going to be like before watching the first episode. We have a cast of practically new actors who are playing familiar characters we all know and love, Sarah and John Connor in particular. For those of …
Just Like Heaven
Just Like Heaven is Top 3 on my list.It was about Elizabeth, a doctor.She is always busy and don’t have time for anything.One time she was set for a date but something bad happened.She got into a tragic car crash and got comatose.The place where she lives is vacant …
The September Issue (2009)
‘The September Issue’ is a feature length, fly-on-the-wall documentary about the making of the September 2007 issue of Vogue Magazine. This would be of interest to anyone wanting to see what the real Anna Wintour is like - editor-in-chief of Vogue - rather than the bitch that Meryl …
My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997 Movie)
I just watched my Best Friend’s Wedding again - I haven’t seen it since it came out. The initial thought that struck me was omigod! the clothes. I had to watch this just to remember what the clothes looked like and how giant cell phones were back then. (Seriously. …
Transformers 2 : Revenge of the Fallen
I am not a transformer fan. This is the reason why I turned down two invites to watch this newest transformer movie. But when I was asked (not invited) by my younger sister to go with her and her boyfriend, I cannot do anything but to go with them …
Kireedam Tamil Movie
Kireedam is the latest release of the ultimate star Ajit movie. This movie is produced by Balaji and directed by newcomer Vijay. For the second time Ajit paired up with Trisha in this movie. Rajkiran and Saranya are also casted in the movie; they played the …
Sully (2016 Biographical Drama Film)
A Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks joint biopic sounds too good to be true. But it is 2017 now and apparently anything could happen. Back in the beginning of 2016, I greatly waited for this, but when the time it became available in cinemas I told myself to just wait …
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger movie
I would not want to tell you what happens in the film, perhaps only roughly. Same thing happened when I saw Closer, we concluded that the story is too good to tell everybody what happens.
The story is fairly complex because it follows the fates of several couples, old age …
Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)
