Movies Reviews
The Virgin Suicides
Have you watched The Virgin Suicides before..? This is one of those earlier movie appearances by Kirsten Dunst and Josh Hartnett. But if you don’t like deep moving movie stories with emotions, then this story might not be suitable for you.
This is a movie which is …
Movie: Bad Dreams
Bad Dreams is one of my favorite, unabashedly guilty pleasures from the late eighties. Starring Jennifer Rubin, Dean Cameron and the chick who does the voice for Bart Simpson this movie is eighties schlock horror at its best. I remember seeing this movie late one night on …
“The Horse Whisperer” (1998) Robert Redford,Kristin Scott Thomas
My personal experiences with horses have been unfortunate so I avoided watching the movie “The Horse Whisperer” until recently. My first unfortunate experience with horses was at the Grays Harbor county fair the year I turned fifteen. I was trying to impress my first real girlfriend. As we toured …
Transcendence (science fiction movie)
When the trailer for the movie “Transcendence” was released I have to admit that I wasn’t very interested in watching it. What made it even worse was that I had no interest in seeing the movie even later, since I was seeing too many bad reviews on it, and it …
Hairspray (1988)
I have seen the most recent version of the movie Hairspray and I absolutely loved it. So, I decided to take the time to watch a slightly older version, the 1988 version that starred Ricki Lake in the lead role.
OK, the movie is essentially the same as the remake …
Evil (Ondskan) (2003) - Movie
Ondskan is a Swedish drama: an adaptation of Jan Guillou’s novel. It was nominated for an Oscar in the category of Best Foreign Language Film at the 2004 Academy Awards. It also took the Swedish Oscars by storm that same year, taking three Guldbagge Awards and four nominations. The …
Movie “The Mist”
I adore a movie that leaves me shaking. Any film that you watch and walk away with mentally disturbed by the plot and not because they went with a cheap method of offending you is a real gem. Lots of movies go ahead and kill off the …
1408
For some time, I have been pretty fed up with the “horror” movies coming out. But I decided to take a chance on both Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, since they are both favorite actors of mine. At any rate, the story is fairly simple: …
Jack Black
OK, I know I should like Jack Black. But, I just can�t seem to find any respect for him.
The problem I have is he�s one dimensional. He can�t do drama or action. It has to be comedy. Even when he tries to be serious, you can�t help but think …
True Romance movie
The screenplay of this film was written by Quentin Tarantino, but it was directed by Tony Scott. The result of this got better than I personally would have expected, as it is an amazingly intense action road movie with a lot of graphical violence and a list of quality …
What happens in Vegas (the movie)
After a long, long time I went to the cinema again to see the movie What happens in Vegas, with Ashton Kutcher as Jack and Cameron Diaz as Joy, two different people with two different sets of troubles who accidently meet in Vegas. I was looking to see a …
Obsessed the movie
I saw the Beyonce movie, Obessed, last night with my husband. It was honestly exactly what I expected. I didn’t expect something that would have me sitting on the edge of my seat, and it didn’t. The story line was fast moving and kept me interested, but it didn’t …
District 9 movie
Before I went to see District 9 last Friday in the movie theatre, I actually had no idea what it was going to be about. I had seen the advertisements on television and I had known that it was going to be a Science Fiction film with aliens, and …
Cloverfield Movie
Cloverfield, Cloverfield, Cloverfield. Never before have I heard so many people talk about a movie, especially one that was still months away from being released. Starting several months before the movie ever came out, the strange and not very descriptive trailers hit the web and people immediately began talking. …
Quantum of Solace (2008) movie
I was completely surprised when I compared this one with those of my favorites Bond movies. I have always been a great fan of Bond movies and have watched almost all of them. I have to say that this movie really disappointed me and hurt my expectations. First of …
Movie: “Prince of Egypt” (1998)
The Dreamworks masterpiece “Prince of Egypt” is one of the most beautiful and touching animated films of all time. It is a musical with stirring songs written by Stephen Schwartz; and it features an all-star cast of voices, including Val Kilmer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, and Patrick …
Clue movie
I am reviewing the movie, Clue, starring Tim Curray. This movie is based off of the board game, Clue. Who did it? With what? Where? When? These are the main questions one has to ask. Was it Mr. Green, Colonal Mustard, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. White, …
Paycheck (starring Ben Affleck)
If you guys have watched Paycheck (starring Ben Affleck) before, you will be surprised to know that it is a very good movie, but with a science-fiction genre. I really categorize this movie as fiction because I can never imagine this movie to be other than that at all. …
The Secret War of Harry Frigg film
This is another Paul Newman film, and it’s probably my favorite of his. It’s called The Secret War of Harry Frigg, and it’s a World War II war comedy. Newman is Harry Frigg, a man who is always in trouble with the Army and though he gets …
Everybody Wants Some!! (2016 Film)
In my quest to find a better than your average film, I stumbled upon Everybody Wants Some!! in a somewhat forced manner. This was the first time I actually watched a film where the subject matter was something I’m not fond about. By the looks of it, the film was …
Religulous (2008 documentary/comedy)
“Religulous” finds Bill Maher, stand-up comedian and host of HBO’s “Real Time” (and formerly, “Politically Incorrect” on ABC) tackling the complex subject of religion; touring holy sites around the world, talking with members of a number of different faiths, and all the while balancing their views with his, which …
The Founder, movie (2016)
Most of all, I like movies about how a business is created. That’s why I watched the movie The Founder with great interest. It seems that everyone knows the story of the great McDonald’s. Who Ray Kroc is and what year he met the McDonald brothers. Suddenly, it’s only a …
Juno
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, Juno. Anyone who has seen this knows what a fantastic movie it is. So it’s about a sixteen-year-old girl named Juno who gets pregnant by her best friend, Paul Bleaker. Juno decides to give her baby up for adoption, and comes …
Transformers
It has been long time that I was able to watch such a wonderful movie. I don’t know whether most of them agree with it or no but I just love the movie. The way the camera rolls over the fights and scenes and comedy was more interesting and …
Terminator Salvation (2009)
Terminator 4 had lot of loud noises, cool sound effects and no redeeming quality whatsoever. This movie was one of the worst of 2009. Terminator Salvation, aka Terminator 4 was even more predicable that the third in the series. I am a big fan of Christian Bale, …
The Net movie
From 1995, The Net is a suspenseful, very well made drama. It’s identity theft to the nth degree, and it’s scary. Sandra Bullock plays Angela Bennett. She’s somewhat of a recluse, and she’s a computer nerd/geek. She’s a master programmer and hacker, and she knows …
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
In what could be considered by parents a nightmare of a movie, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle has been, and continues to be one of the most popular comedy movies amongst teens and 20 somethings.
In this film, roommates Harold struggles daily for just one lucky break when …
The Fall (R, 2006)
I didn’t realize that Tarsem Singh was responsible for The Cell, as he is also the director on this wonderful film. The colors are so lush and spectacular that you are automatically drawn into the story. As for the story, this is a “period” film set …
She’s All That
In 1984, teens used to relate a lot with the romantic movie “Sixteen Candles”. “She’s All That” is a 1999 teen generation movie similar to “Sixteen Candles” but only much better. Thanks to this movie the three main actors Freddie Prize Jr., Rachael Lee Cooke and Jodi …
Super Troopers I
The opening of the movie Super Troopers I was intense and humorous. The movie began with the state troopers pulling over a car full of teenagers multiple times. Each time the police officers pull over the teenagers, they attempt to hassle them and keep them on the edge of …
The Wicker Man (Original)
I watched the original Wicker Man and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I’m not a fan of horror and although this was labelled as a horror film it really wasn’t. The ending was quite horrorific but the rest of the film was not. …
Confessions of a Shopaholic movie
I felt sad after watching this movie. I thought it had great promise considering it was dealing with a different kind of addiction. Unfortunately, the script and the beat made the theme unimportant and somewhat irrelevant. I found so many scenes quite slapstick-y and dumb, and I felt irritated …
Something to Talk About (starring Julia Roberts)
No woman would like it when she finds out her husband has been having an affair. That’s what happens to Julia Roberts, character, Grace in the movie Something to Talk About. Her husband in this movie is acted by Dennis Quaid and be prepared for a tissue box …
Son of Batman, movie
Considering Damian Wayne’s reception as Robin has been mixed, to say the least, it was an interesting choice to make a movie that showcased him and brought him into the DC Animated Movie Universe.
While this does take place within the “New 52″ world that DC had built within …
Movie The Holiday
I like this movie, not love, like. I watch this movie at the first place because of the casts in it, I mean, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, wow! This is a drama/comedy kind of movie. The plot is kind of interesting, about two women …
The Hitcher (movie)
I honestly think it�s time for me to stop watching horror movies. They just don�t do anything for me any more. The remake of the 80s film The Hitcher proves this.
The problem with The Hitcher is it�s like every other horror film I�ve ever seen. It has two college …
How High (2001)
How High, directed by Jesse Dylan is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for pervasive drug use and language, and for sexual dialogue. The original release date was December 21, 2001 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy and stars Method …
The Holiday movie
The Holiday is a movie about two women who switch houses for a holiday. Both are rather depressed and without partners, and in need of a big change in their lives. Cameron Diaz plays the frustrated Amanda, and Kate Winslet plays Iris. Iris seems overall more stable and centered …
Last Man on Earth movie (1964)
One thing I’ve always had a soft spot for is post appocalyptic films, and the 1964 version of the movie “Last Man on Earth” is just that. In fact, the first thing it reminded me of was the most recent version of the movie “I am Legend” starring the …
Casino Movie
I think Casino is one of the greatest Mob movies ever made. Joe Pesci does a great job of playing Nicky Santoro. I also think that Robert Deniro did a great job as Sam he hustler. I think the movie really tells the story of how mob bosses used …
Son of the Mask (Movie 2005)
Just when you thought that it was safe to back into the water, dun dun…dun dun…dun dun…the had to go ahead and spoil a perectly good original movie with the crappy “Son of the Mask”. Tell me, why did they feel the need to create a sequel, was it …
The Wendell Baker Story
If you love Owen Wilson, you will surely love watching this new latest movie out now. I managed to catch it, and this story is about an ex-convict, who tries to make a new living for himself, and works in a retirement hotel.
He wanted to win back the …

Transformers Animated Series - Soundwave Action Figure
The Soundwave action figure in the Transformers Animated Series line of toys is not one of the better ones, but he does have some good features. He sells for between $10 and $12 and you can find him in most toy stores. He is pretty easy to transform, …
Quantum of Solace
During the time that Quantum of Solace was on cinemas, I decided to watch it with my best friend. In the end, both of us had a different opinion on the movie.
My friend love it to bits, while I find it a bit hard to digest. …
Erin Brockovich movie
I found it weird that someone was requesting a review on “Erin Brockovich” on here but I thought, “Hey I’ve seen that movie. I’ll tell him/her what I think.” Well, Julia Roberts is in fact very good in the role as is Albert Finney. It is a very well …
A Martian Christmas movie
I was looking for some movies for my daughter to watch while home on Christmas break and came across A Martian Christmas. I didn’t know what to expect from the animated movie, but I figured it was worth watching considering it is almost Christmas.
The movie ended up being better …
Airplane 2: The Sequel (1982)
A great sequel to a funny and classic movie. Ted Striker returns to attempt to save a lunar shuttle flight to the moon when a computer malfunction sends the flight on a one-way trip to the sun. Throughout the movie, you are guaranteed to laugh.
Let’s start with Robert Hays, …
