Ghosts of Girlfriends Past movie
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a 2009 release, stars Matthew McConaughey and it’s positively brilliant. Okay, so it’s a revamped version of Scrooge, but a good story is a good story. In fact, there’s a moment at the end when McConaughey’s character teases just a bit about …

The Onion Movie

The Unborn (NR, 2003) movie
Ok I really really really tried to watch The Unborn. These kinds of films are typically right up my alley. However, for some reason I got totally turned off by this film. I think it’s because there seem to be so many Asian films wherein …
Total eclipse
I have watched the movie ‘Total eclipse’. The director is Agnieszka Holland. The actors are Leonardo DiCaprio, David and Romane. This is not so interesting to watch and has been shot rather poorly. David has played the role of Paul verlaine and Leonardo has played the role of Arthur.

Where It’s At movie
Where It’s At is another movie from the sixties about the generation gap, in an odd sort of way. In truth, I don’t like this movie. It’s just a little too off-beat for me. I didn’t like the characters, I don’t like their evolution, and there’s not …

“Tearjerker.” That’s how many people describe the movie adaptation of the popular novel by Nicholas Sparks, featuring pop princess Mandy Moore and TV cutie Shane West.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
I first started reading Shakespeare’s plays when I was about eight years old, in more easy to understand translations. The translation which I had used was “Lamb’s Tales in Shakespeare” so plays such as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the time seemed very interesting to me. Therefore, that is …
Weird Science (movie)
Even though it hasn’t gotten a very good rating, the movie “Weird Science” is one of those teenage coming of age comedies that I think a lot of people consider as a classic somewhat. I personally never really liked it because it was exceptional, but I liked it because …
Nothing But the Truth: A Compelling Movie

The Reaping film
Through this movie, Hilary Swank has reminded audiences once again, that she is one of Hollywood’s greatest Heavy-Hitters. Her acting skills were brilliant. Maybe this is why some of the other cast members appeared as though they needed to step it up a notch? “Who is that blonde little …
Movie Chicago
I admit to being surprised at the caliber of the musical performances of Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renée Zellweger, and Richard Gere and it made for a stunning production of Chicago, but at the same time, I honestly believe that the theater production I saw of it in Los Angeles …
Teeth Movie
Teeth is this incredibly odd little movie that is partly a horror movie and part something I don’t know. I watched it, expecting it to be a straight horror movie with a little humor thrown in. Now that I’ve seen it all the way through, I couldn’t tell you …
Taken the movie
