Up (2009) movie
I went and saw this with a friend (even though it’s a kids’ movie and we’re both adults) because we had heard a lot of good things about it. And Pixar usually puts out good movies, so it wasn’t like it was a risk or anything. The fact that …
The Forth Kind film
I went to see this film with a bunch of my friends. We had seen the advert and thought it looked quite good.
The film is based on true events which takes it to a scarier level. The majority of the film is re-enacted however it shows a lot …

Movie Bandidas
I had hesitated to watch the movie “Bandidas” at first because it starred two actresses whose acting “talent” tends to be very overrated most of the time. Another reason why I hesitated to watch it too was because it first appeared to me as one of those movies starring …

My husband and I went to the movies over the weekend to see the new Karate Kid. It is great and literally had the whole audience clapping at the end of the movie! This one is even better than the original. They couldn’t have gotten a better actor than …

Godzilla (2014) Movie
In 1998, Sony Pictures Entertainment and TriStar Pictures released the first American-made Godzilla movie. At the time, it was a big budget movie that incorporated extravagant special effects with a well-known Hollywood actor cast as the lead. The movie, for the most part, took the monster in a drastically …
Robinson Crusoe movie
This is the version by surrealist Luis Buñuel, which is surprisingly enough a most conventional film. Buñuel was otherwise a filmmaker who never let the audience’s needs come in conflict with his artistic vision, and only created what he felt was important. His version of Robinson Crusoe shows that …
Little Orphan Annie
I had never seen the movie Little Orphan Annie until today; when my wife decided she wanted to watch it again.
I’m not exactly sure why I didn’t want to watch it before. I usually like musicals. It just didn’t sound like it would be a movie I would find …
When a man loves a woman
The best way to describe the movie “When a Man Loves a Woman” is a touching story about alcoholism and how it can break a healthy family apart. Med Ryan’s and Andy Garcia’s interpretation in this movie is simply wonderful. I am sure this movie touched a lot …
Shooter
I have always been a big fan of Mark Wahlberg’s acting skills. I like that he’s rough around the edges. Even still, he’s able to nail the emotion that is called for by the scenes he’s in. In this film, Wahlberg portrays a military marksman who …
The perfect Sunday movie
Last Sunday lifetime movie network had a “the perfect sunday” event going on where they showed movies with the word “perfect” in them. Some of the movies that they played were perfect marriage, perfect neighbor, the perfect nanny, the perfect assistant. I watched some of the movies, I couldn’t …
Dark Knight
You know, i normally like Batman movies but I’m not sure the film Dark Knight was all it was hyped-up to be.
Like many people said, Heath Ledger does an outstanding job as the joker. There are times he’s so crazy in this film I think the role is being …
Westworld Movie
Filmed in 1973, the movie makes a decent attempt of portraying the future where very realistic, human-like androids serve for entertainment purposes. Delos, hailed as “vacation of the future,” is an amusement park divided into three major areas: West World, Medieval World, and Roman World; each one is populated …
A Frozen Flower (a Korean Movie)
If you love movies of foreign languages, then you can try to watch this Korean movie titled, A Frozen Flower. I thought it’s a rather weird movie and at the same time, feels quite confused by it all. This movie is basically about royalty, about the “relationship” of …
Mother and son movie
This is a film by the russian cinematic artist Alexandr Sokurov and tell a very slow story about a young man and his sick mother. Sokurov paints his film in stunningly beautiful images and overall I think this feels more like observing a painting than seeing a film, but …

Hell’s House movie
Hell’s House from 1932 is not going to go down as a favorite film of mine. There wasn’t all that much outstanding about it. In fact, it was all pretty average. The one, or should I say two things that it had going for it was …

Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix

The Lifeguard (2013 Film)
I was curious about the romance drama film The lifeguard, when stumbling across it on the internet movie database website. I was intrigued by the cast list and the controversial storyline. I figured since Kristen Bell was the lead role, the movie would be pretty good since she is a …
Benchwarmers Movie
The Benchwarmers was a funny movie filled with great actors. It has to be funny with a lineup of David Spade, Jon Heder, and Rob Schnider. I found that there were several jokes that were PG-13 but nothing too severe. Jon Heder made it great. It really was a …

This science fiction genre film is based upon the 1954 book by the same title in which some mysterious disease turns people into Vampires. This version is vastly different, yet the theme of loneliness and the daily decision about whether …
Hidden Figures (2016 Biographical Drama Film)

Enemy (psychological thriller movie)

Hangover 3 Movie
Misled by the trailer (it presents everything that is best in movie), I witnessed the incredible efforts of some talentless actors of turning a bland scenario into a humorous story that just might bring a smile or two. The movie does not differ from the mediocre comedies for American …

Julie & Julia film
While watching this film, I was thinking that someone really interested in cooking could probably enjoy it more than me, since the film it’s mostly about good food, cooking as a hobby, or cooking as a passion. It might make you want to cook, or try the recipes. However, …
The Blue Carbunkle
I am reviewing The Blue Carbunkle, a Sherlock Holmes adventure from the boxed set, The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, produced in 1983 by Granada television. It is Christmas time in this episode, and everyone is in the holiday spirit, that is until a precious blue diamond is stolen, and …
Underworld: Evolution
It has been a couple of years since I saw the movie Underworld. So, when the sequel, Underworld: Evolution, came on television last night, I had some serious catching up to do.
Overall, I would say the second film in the series is the better of the two. The plot, …

Let me start off by saying that this movie right here that goes by the name ‘Grease’ is the best musical movie that has ever been made and to date is still the best musical movie ever! In no other movie will you be so drawn to each character …
