I was very excited going into this movie. I really like Will Smith and could not wait to see what he was going to do with this unique role. I was a little skeptical at first, since he was the only person in the movie, but I didn’t let …
Monkeybone (2001 Film)
While the title Monkeybone, might sound the perfect movie for the younger audience and something that adults would not find humorous—¦..you might be right. While I am not saying that adults would not appreciate this film as well, I think that the humor behind it might be best suited …

Martin Chuzzlewit, 1994
Martin Chuzzlewit, 1994. This movie is based on a novel by Charles Dickens and it does it justice. There are two Martin Chuzzlewits in this story, the grandfather and the grandson. First we meet the grandfather (Paul Scofield), a wealthy old man haunted by a crowd of relatives trying …
Cinderella, Movie (2015)
Many versions of the classic tale of Cinderella have been made and all follow the same storyline with little variation. ‘Cinderella’ (2015), is no exception, however with compelling characters and stunning visuals, I find myself enchanted by the movie. Although I was watching the same story that I’ve seen many …
“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 …
Laws of Attraction
I must have watched “Laws of Attraction” more than 10 times and I still enjoy watching it and watching it. I like this romantic movie so much because there is great on screen chemistry between the three main actors involved in it Pierce Brosnon, Julianne Moore and …
Bye Bye Birdie
I finally got an opportunity to see the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. While I normally enjoy movies like this one, I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed.
The plot of the musical isn’t bad. You have a famous singer who has been drafted and is heading off to …
Zack and Miri make a porno Movie

Seven Pounds DVD
I rented the DVD ‘Seven Pounds,’ starring Will Smith and Rosario Dawson, fully expecting to see a romantic, heart warming story, much in the same genre as ‘Pursuit of Happyness;’ instead, I found it to be a mostly dark and agonizing tale, and even slightly creepy.
I do have to …
Transformers 1 Movie
Being a huge fan of Transformers, growing up watching the cartoons in 1985, I had high hopes for Transformers 1, but I also had some dread as well. I was afraid that they were going to take a wonderful show like this and tear it to pieces by making …

Apollo 18, movie
I had seen a couple of video reviews that suggested that this movie was OK. It wasn’t without its flaws, but it was still decent. The average viewer rating on Netflix, however, has it at one and a half stars. After seeing the movie for myself, …
Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back (NR, 2008)
I only rented this movie because I thought that the first one was fairly decent. Looking back, I realize that not only was the first one not as good as I’d imagined, there NEVER should have been a sequel. The whole concept behind this film …

Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie
When I watch the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, I am absolutely amazed with the quality of the film, considering it was made almost 3 decades ago.
It’s hard to believe that’s Donald Sutherland in the starring role of Matthew Bennell and I was impressed with the …

Time of the Gypsies movie
This is the incredibly heartbreaking film by Emir Kusturica that won the golden palm in Cannes. Kusturica portraits a gypsy family that is slightly bizarre in the way they act, at least from my own point of view. However, the eldest son of the family falls in love with …
Erin Brockovich DVD
Erin Brockovich is based on the life story of the woman who brought one of the largest class action lawsuits in history again the California utilities companies. More than a courtroom drama though, this film is about an unemployed single mother of three children living on the brink of …
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 …
Save the last dance 2
After watching the original “Save the Last Dance” movie, I must admit that the second version cannot be compared with the first one. I feel that that this movie misses out because the actors in the main roles have been changed and the script is not as good as …
Ice Age -Movie One in the Trilogy
I watched this movie a long time ago and then again recently; I recall then thinking that it was childish -which I suppose is good because it’s mostly a kid’s movie but I had hoped it would entertain me too- and that I would not care so much …
The Man in the Iron Mask Movie (1998)
When I think about the Three Musketeers, I always remember the movie “The Man in the Iron Mask”. This stars Leonardo DiCaprio(King Louis XIV / Philippe), Jeremy Irons(Aramis), John Malkovich (Athos), Gérard Depardieu (Porthos) and Gabriel Byrne ( D’Artagnan).
This movie portrays the true story of the King of France, …

F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ movie
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ from 1974 was a bore to me. I’ve never really been into the Fitzgerald world. The Great Gatsby didn’t thrill me either, and I saw it in the theater, back when screens were huge. I also like …
Carnival of Souls movie

Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs
At long last the second of four new feature length Futurama films has been released on DVD and it was a home run right out of this universe and millennium. In true Futurama fashion this movie is hillarious while at the same time thought provoking in only the way …

Cocoon
I don’t know why I like this 1985 movie so much. I can still remember watching it for the first time when it had come out; it is a comedy that involves some aliens, and compared with today’s technology, I guess you might say it is nothing special. Most …
Anna and the King
I admit that I am a Jodie Foster fan. Whatever this actress does, she always impress me with her acting talent. “Anna and the King” is an impressive movie mainly because the two main acters are simply brilliant and together with a great director they manage to hold you …

The Bank Job (2007 version)
Who ever said that the movie, “The Bank Job” directed by Estonian director, Brad Jurjens is a good movie, well he/she doesn’t know what they are talking about. This supposed to be dramatic movie has a good story, but the end result is really horrible due to the way …
Rock On movie
When the promos were being aired on the television for the film Rock On, I thought that it would be all about a rock band with some loud and vulgar music. Strangely, my friends were bent at watching the movie in the theater. I yielded to their demand and …
Spy (2015 Comedy Action Spy Movie)
I generally detest most movies with the comedian Melissa McCarthy playing a major role in them because I just don’t think she’s that funny. However, when I was sitting in the theatre watching another movie and I saw the trailer for this one I decided, “Hey, why not give this …

The man with the movie camera movie
Dziga Vertov’s documentary-like film from the 1920s has been acclaimed as one of the greatest masterpieces of all time, and I can do nothing but agree to that. Vertov’s uses his camera in such imaginary ways, showing the people of Moscow through every possible angle and style. He wanted …

School of Rock (movie)
When School of Rock came to theaters a few years ago, I enjoyed it so much that I saw it two nights in a row with different people. I didn’t pay for it myself either time, but that’s beside the point. The reason I could see it …
Petals in The Wind (Lifetime movie)
I was a huge fan of VC Andrews’ Dollanganger book series, especially a little after I read them as a teenager. While I loved Flowers in the Attic, I thought that Petals in the Wind rivalled it in drama, sensuality and the taboo. Therefore, you can imagine my excitement …
