St. Elmo’s Fire (movie)
Didn’t everyone in the 1980’s love St. Elmo’s Fire? The whole thing about seeing a young Demi Moore and Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy was simply thrilling to millions, I am sure. I don’t see or understand the inherent value of St. Elmo’s Fire, myself. I laugh when I …
The Love Guru
Maybe I have no sense of humor, but I just did not find this movie funny. My fiance, however, was laughing all the way through. But that’s what I adore about him; he finds the humor in everything. Me, I guess I just don’t. I couldn’t believe the stars …

Insidious (movie)

Movie: Paranormal Activity

When this movie came out, people told us it was the most terrifying thing …
Dream Girls
Maybe it’s because I’m watching it on cable before 8 in the morning, but the movie Dream Girls just isn’t as good as I expected it to be.

Jumper (2008)
When I learned that the movie, Jumper, is showing on the big screen, I was quick to rush to the cinema the next day to stand in line to watch it. I wasn’t surprised when I saw a long queue on the first theatre I went to, so I …
Gormenghast Movie
A very unusual british film about a noble family in a state of crisis. Gormenghast is the name of their enormous mansion. It’s a more artsy kind of film than I had first expected, with long takes and innovative camerawork. It also has some interesting aspects in the mood …
The Pianist (2006)
I loved the movie “The Pianist” (2006). The Roman Polanski movie three Oscars and probably deserved more. The movie tells the story of real-life Polish Pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Jew, who lived in Warsaw before, during, and after World War II. I found the movie believable and touching without …

Movie: “The Toy”
This Richard Pryor classic is as hysterical today as it was at its 1982 release. The laughs never stop; even the slapstick comedy is so well-done that it had me laughing out loud.

The Garden (NR, 2006) movie

Indian Jones The Last crusade
Harrison Ford is a very good actor and he portrayed one of my favorite all time charachters Indiana Jones. I watched Indiana Jones the Last Crusade last night. In this movie Sean Connery played Indiana’s father and as always these movies are fast moving comical and interesting.

The Bourne Identity movie

Big City movie
I saw Big City for the first time this week, and I just loved it. It’s a warm, sweet, tender family drama, though it couldn’t happen in today’s society. Back when it was filmed in 1948, I suppose it could have been possible.
The adorable and ultra talented …

Movie Waterworld
For some reason, my husband loves “Waterworld.” I love my husband, but I loathe and detest this film.
It’s hard to believe that this 1975 cinematic “messterpiece” was one of the most expensive movies ever made. Maybe they spent a lot of the money on the sets …

Mulholland Drive (2001)
Mulholland Drive is an absolute masterpiece from surreal director David Lynch, but it is not for everybody I guess. Some people are going to be irritated at the strangeness of this film, but others like me enjoy that strangeness and it serves to draw us into the mystery. …
Chak De India
This must be one of the most entertaining as well as meaningful films that have come out of India in recent times. The basic storyline and genre - sports - is a fairly simple one,familiar to people around the world, but it’s what the makers have done with this …
The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992 Film)

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
When my family rented the film from our local Hastings a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea what this “Sweeney Todd” character entailed. Indeed, the name sounded more of the same banal comedic drudgery that plagues the genre. My initial suspicions were proved utterly superficial when I …
