Mall Cop movie
If you like funny movies, I suggest seeing Mall Cop. The story line is cute and there are great actors in it. Kevin James did a wonderful job on this film.

The Quiet Man (movie)
Last night we were flicking through the channels on TV and both my husband and I like John Wayne movies. We came across the Quiet Man, and that is where we stayed.
Old movies, done well whether they are in black and white or in color are sometimes …
Breach
The best way to describe the movie “Breach” is a Bourne story without the action. Based on a true story, “Breach” has a great cast of actors Chris Cooper, Ryan Phillippe and Laura Linney. The true pity is that this movie was released in the same year …
Suffering Man’s Charity/ Ghost Writer (2007)
I thought this was going to be a really good movie, I heard really good things about it, plus, the cast list was very impressive. At the beginning of the movie, when things seemed a little bit too eccentric for and to weird, I just said to myself …
The Blind Side movie
Let me start by saying I had no idea The Blind Side was based on a true story. I watched the entire movie without this knowledge, and honestly I’m not sure my opinion of it would’ve changed much having known. There was a lot of hype about the movie, …
The Guns of Navarone movie
From 1961, The Guns of Navarone is one of the most famous wartime films, and it has quite the cast to help make it that way. Gregory Peck has the starring role as Capt. Keith Mallory. Also present are Richard Harris, Anthony Quayle, David Niven, Anthony Quinn, …
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 …
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
One of my favorite Christmas movies is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. It is on TV every year, and I remember watching it even as a kid. Now I have the unedited DVD, which I enjoyed watching this year. This movie is definitely a classic Christmas movie. …

Movie Gridiron Gang 2006
I really enjoyed watching this movie. I got a lot of excitement and enthusiasm from the character The Rock as Dwayne who played the football coach for a teenage group of troubled youths at a detention center. The exciting part of his character was how he expressed himself when …
The Ugly Truth movie
I absolutely loved this movie. I saw previews for it and thought “it looks alright.. I guess I’ll see it because i want to go to the movies.” So I went to see it and it was so funny. It was better than I had expected. The previews don’t …

Chronicle Movie
“Chronicle” is a very encouraging type of film; especially, during its beginning scenes. It is light and witty. The film is presented in a very one-sided angle—”so to speak. The audience witnesses: shots taken by the film’s character in way of his digital camera …
Movie: Stomp the Yard
I got bored this weekend and ended up watching some movies I came across on TV. One of these films was the movie Stomp the Yard.
I’m going to tell you this right now. Do not waste your time with this film.
At one point, movies that featured dance numbers were entertaining …
Bug
I really get the wrong idea when I first watch Bug. I thought it is some kind of a horror movie or something, but when in the end I realized that this story is something like the genre of ‘art movie’, displaying about life, people and their characters, …

A surprisingly funny and charming movie, “Ghost Town” tells the story of Bertram Pincus, an unpleasant dentist reminiscent of Ebenezer Scrooge. His attitude toward life: bah, humbug.

Chernobyl Diaries 2012 Movie
I honestly expected more from the creator of Parnormal Activity Oren Peli. Many people seem to have mistaken this for a found-footage flick possibly due to Peli’s first series Paranormal Activity being found-footage or the fact that even though it’s NOT a found-footage movie they still wave the camera …
Dead of Night movie
An early sound horror film divided in several episodes, directed by different people. These are stories told by a bunch of people who meet in the beginning of the film. They are all supernatural in some sense. Most of these episodes are quite mediocre and doesn’t interest me a …
The Lady Vanishes movie
One of my favorite Hitchcock films from his time in England. An old lady disappears while travelling in Switzerland, and when this is noticed by two of the passengers a most hideous plot is revealed little by little to a most unexpected end.
One of the first brilliant examples of …
Twilight
Before the movie Twilight came into theaters, I heard many preposterous comments about this movie. I even heard these brutal comments about the book, from whom most did not even read. Before I started my grasp on the Twilight Saga, I was confidental about not reading them, knowing what …
The Kingdom movie
This movie started off kind of slow and boring in the very beginning. When you get into the movie though it is really good. It kept me interested in what was going on. You do kind of have to pay attention to make sure you understand it all, …
Agatha Christie’s Murder at the Gallop movie
I have to say that the first thing I noticed about this second entry in the movie’s Miss Marple mystery movie by Agatha Christie is the very bright and campy musical theme. It’s just so bubbly and merry that it seems like follows should be more of a …
Movie The Vengeance of the Mummy (1973)
A totally demented Paul Naschy film that, to my knowledge, was the last of the shambling, old school style mummy movies featuring a rampaging, bandaged monster.
Paul plays the role of the Mummy as well as the Mummy’s evil assistant and he does so to the hilt. A very violent …
NetFlix

The Butler (Historical Drama Movie)
I like historical dramas so when I found out about The Butler I knew immediately that I just had to see it, even if I wasn’t able to view it in theatres at the time. Shortly after the amount of bad reviews and ratings it had received from regular viewers …
The Wicker Man (UR, 2006) movie
First, let the record show that I have no idea why this version was unrated. The original 70’s version seemed far more sinister and graphic to me. But I suppose in this day and age, filmmakers had to do something to get people to rent the DVD. …
X-Men Movie
X-Men was an excellent movie if you went with no expectations and had never seen the cartoon or read the comic. However, they changed a lot from both comic and show in the movie and after seeing the movie for the first time, I was infuriated at how they …
Flashback of a Fool
When I saw the movie “Flashbacks of a Fool” on the cable guide last night I was a bit baffled as to how I never heard of it; and it was a fairly recent movie; especially since I learned after, the popular British actor who now plays the role …

Dancing At The Blue Iguana movie
Dancing At The Blue Iguana is not going to win any Oscars, but it is still a good movie. Dancing At The Blue Iguana focuses on the lives of four dancers. These dancers are not your ordinary ballet stars, they are topless dancers. The Blue Iguana is not your …
The Patriot (movie)
Just week we heard the sad news that Heath Ledger passed away, it reminded me of one of the movies that he had starred in with Mel Gibson called the Patriot.
We pulled the Patriot out of our collection and re-watched it last night. The story is set …
Insidious (movie)
“Insidious” is one of those movies that I’ve found myself beginning several times, but never actually settling down to watch it. Most of the times I shied away from it because of the bad reviews quite a few viewers had given it, calling it a waste of time and …
Matilda (1996 FIlm)
The 1996 film starring a very young and very adorable Mara Wilson entitled “Matilda” might be a film that has been overlooked as of recent years due to the fact that so many other films (that are equipped with extraordinary new visual effects) offer viewers a chance to be …
Monsters Inc
Monsters Inc from Pixar is a delightful movie about an alternate universe where monsters are the citizens. What are monsters? Basically a race of colorful creatures, all unique and different, which inhabit a world very similar to our own. The main characters of the story are Sully (a large …
Predators Movie
I have seen this movie last night and even though I didn’t want to watch it because I’m not fond of alien-predator fighting scenes and the only alien-predator movie that I liked is Alien versus Predators, and not humans versus aliens and predators, I had just watched this since …

Rhythm and Blues Revue movie
Rhythm and Blues Revue labeled with a 1955 release is really just a bunch of performances down like a night club show. There’s no story plot; there’s only the show. However, it is a lot of fun, with a full roster of African American performers.
Below are a …

Movie Wild Hogs
One of my favorite comedy movies. I watched this movie I would say about a month ago. It’s a great comedy movie. My favorite thing about the movie is that it keeps you laughing throughout the entire thing. They do fall down a lot on their motorcycles but they …
Movie Angels and Demons
I am a big fan of Dan Brown’s novels. They are, for me, the kind of books that I could finish in one sitting, simply because they are too thrilling that I can’t keep my hands off it. So when it was announced that this is going to be …
Movie Children of the Corn
I can’t remember the first time I saw Children of the Corn, but I know that it scared the daylights out of me. Now that I’ve watched it again as an adult, the same doesn’t hold true. Honestly I’m not sure if it’s because the film is older, or …
“Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides” (2011 Film)
I can honestly say that the fourth film of the “Pirates of Carribean” series worried me. The first three films were remarkably casted, well laid out, and left me laughing and one the edge of my seat with suspence. However, after seeing the fourth film in theaters, “Pirates of …
