I finally got time to sit down and watch a horror movie this past weekend (I’ve been in the mood for one). I didn’t have a whole lot to choose from so I ended up watching the 2009 movie Carny.
I’m not sure, but I think this might have originally …

As a young girl and teenager, I watched Journey for Margaret all the time. It was a wonderful, touching film that always made me cry. It’s been years since I’ve seen it, but I just finished watching it again. Turner Classic Movies is showing Margaret O’Brien …

When I saw Jensen Ackles in this movie, I immediately wanted to watch it as he’s really a great actor in Supernatural and he’s one of my favorites. This movie is a horror/suspense movie and it’s actually quite disappointing; the only compensation is that the actor is handsome and …

The 2000 movie called “The Tangerine Bear” is a simple cartoon film for families during the holidays that have strong morals and a very cute themed story that revolves around a bear that was created with his smile sewn in upside down so that he is always frowning. This …

To be honest, I did not even know who Benzair Bhutto was until last year when I developed an interest in politics. After she was assassinated this past December, I wanted to know why people were in such a hurry to “do away” with her. I found a DVD …

The Bourne Legacy is actually a huge disappointment. I delayed watching it because I was reading the book. After reading the book by Eric Van Lustbader, the actual movie was a complete disappointment. As a matter of fact, the movie is still a disappointment even without reading the actual …

This one really delivered, I thought. The first Creeper movie was great, but any fans might remember the Creeper had wings and in the first one we never saw him fly. Set the stage for this second helping of mayhem. Most of the horror takes place on a …

I recently sat down and watched fooly cooly. Although i did not understand most of it because of its comically vague story line. The anime has a high level of animation quality and an awesome soundtrack that fits perfectly to the action of the series. Although Watching once you …

I have watched the movie The Princess Bride countless times now. And, I have to say, even after seeing it more times than just about any other movie (including Star Wars), this film is still as good as it was the first time I saw it.
The thing I like …

Where the Wild Things Are was a truly disappointing movie. It was rambling and didn’t seem to have any direction.
I think the problem is that it’s an adaptation of a picture book. It would have worked better as possibly a thirty minute animated film. …

I’ve heard about Lone Star, but I’ve never been tempted to watch it. However, a friend sent it to me recently, so I figured I’d sit down and see how it was. There was actually a lead in to this with comments that intrigued me. Thus, …

In the year 2007, I would have thought that a more in depth methamphetamine documentary could have been made. Kudos to the creators for casting Val Kilmer as the narrator. His voice has plenty of presence, and you forget that it’s even him speaking. However, this …

Needless to say that every person walking into the movie theater with me last night to see Dream House had real great expectations from it. And there was no reason not to have them, after all it seemed the movie had all the right ingredients. It had reliable and …

I first saw the trailer for the movie Oculus when I had gone to see something else at the cinema. It looked promising at the time because it felt a little more different than the multitudes of supernatural horror movies that had come out during that period of time and …

I went to see this film opening night, and of course, the theater was packed with people dressed in wizard costumes with scars on their foreheads. Just like other avid readers of the Harry Potter books, I had been very critical of the previous films and came in with …

As a fan and frequent watcher of horror films, I was naturally looking forward to this film. As I passed the theater last night, I was stopped in my tracks by the flyer itself. It was an extremely well executed throwback to 1980s campy, horror film posters and it immediately …

Can you imagine watching a lot of scenes from various films in just one movie? Sounds impossible, however the director Joe Gallen managed to do just this in his original movie with the title “Not another teen movie”.
The storyline of this film consists of a parody of bits and pieces …

Hubby and I had a movie marathon last night. After watching a few depressing movies, we decided to watch Leap Year to lighten the mood a bit before going to sleep. I’ve always love Amy Adams’ movies but this one, I’m afraid is not one of them. This …

This is one of my favorite movies. The first time watching it all my focus was on the movie. It was very entertaining to watch. It kept me watching throughout the whole thing wondering what’s happening next and scared a little. It also has a very good story to …

This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Musical/Romance and stars Johnny Depp as Wade ‘Cry-Baby’ Walker, Amy …

This 1979 movie has failed my expectations, big time. It is based on a novel by Henry James, and the story is set in 1850s � my favorite timeframe, so I thought I was going to love it. A wealthy American family lives a comfortable life in their house …

I must admit that “Duplex” is definitely one of my Ben Stiller’s favourite movies, even though it was a cinema flop. I believe that Ben Stiller and the actress, Drew Barrymore make a great on screen couple and you simply cannot watch this movie and end up not having …

This is a very light romantic comedy, with a plot so simple, silly, and predictable that I think it would have completely fallen through if it wasn’t for Michael Caine and Maggie Smith, the two wonderful actors who save it.
Stevenson Lowe (James Spader) is a successful publisher and a …

The Earth is melting! Manny, Diego, and Sid return in this funny sequel, Ice Age: Meltdown. Due to global warming the ice caps are melting. Manny, Sid, and Diego with the rest of their herd start migrating to the other end of the valley to the safety of a …

We recently purchased a copy of Red Eye for 99 cents at the local video store. So, I didn’t think it was going to be that good.
I was definitely wrong. While not as good as other airplane movies, it still was one of the better thrillers I’ve seen.
The main …

Mystic Pizza stars the very talented and gorgeous Julia Roberts and when I looked at the DVD cover of this movie, it is really gorgeous with a nice illustration picture altogether. Annabeth Gish stars too and I think the acting’s awesome.
3 sisters with different lives to lead and their …

I’ve just returned from seeing the new “Pride and Prejudice” (2005, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Darcy). What can I say. I didn’t expect much, and therefore wasn’t very disappointed. Keira Knightley is cute (perhaps a little too cute for Elizabeth) and pretty …

I am reviewing the movie, No Reservations, starring Catherine Zeta Jones. This movie is about the life of chef Kate (Jones). She is a perfectionist, highly obsessive with food, and likes this her way. She gets along fine, as long as there is no chaos in …

The movie “Meet Dave” represents an attempt from the actor, Eddie Murphy in showing that he can do something different and, at the same time, be successful. Although Murphy tried to link the comic world with the fantasy world in one movie, unfortunately he failed miserably to win over …

My daughter loves Dr. Seuss books so I recently picked her up a movie based off of one of them “The Lorax.” And, I have to say, despite the fact it was obviously filmed years ago, it was still quite a good movie.
If you haven’t seen the movie or …

I remember seeing a photo of this creature in a monster magazine and remarking how scary it looked. Well it was not that scary in this classic film. I liked the opening scene in which it explained the Big Bang theory and leading up …

Red Eye is a suspense thriller movie that is about a man, Jackson, who is on a path to kill a government official. Jackson wants Lisa to help him kill this person. That sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? The part about this movie that I did not get is …

This was a horror movie in the sense that the main character (besides Wes Bentley) is a complete maniac who does the sociopath thing really well. The premise of the story is fairly simple: a young man happens to catch a serial killer making a kill. …

Absence of Malice is a marvelous Paul Newman movie. He plays Michael Gallagher, the son of a late mafia boss. He’s not in the business, but one day he picks up the newspaper and sees that his name has been plastered all over it with a bunch …

When I first saw the movie “Tropic Thunder” advertising, all I could think about was that it was not going to be funny because the actor and comedian “Jack Black” was in it. I normally have a problem with that actor as I think he is not a very …

Walt Disney had a dream. His dream was to bring color and magic alive to children everywhere. Along the way he had to employ his motto of, “Keep moving forward”. That dream, that process, and that motto are what bring Meet the Robinsons alive. It takes us to a …

I might be a fairly cynical twenty-something right now, but there are some things that I find that I have not and probably never will outgrow. Two of those things are my love for superheroes and my love of fairy-tales, especially those that hail from places in Europe. When …

Well, this movie is fascinating. It’s a different story altogather but the plot is not different or a good one. It starts like, there is a man who is sort of jobless and is having troubles. His son wants to emulate someone else and not him. The man wants …

This movie is not to be confused with another movie by the same name and a similar plot which was released some time in either the late nineteen nineties or the early 2000s. I watched this movie some time either last week or the week before on a cable …

Dude where’s my car? is a comedy movie starring Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott. It is a funny movie and one has to leave the brain behind while watching this movie as one doesn’t find any logic in the movie. But, after all comedy movies often end up …

Charlie Chaplin’s Circus is not one of the comedy master’s most famous films, but it is one of my personal favorites. The story is very simple: the tramp (Chaplin) comes to a circus so seek his fortune. While there the most unlikely and crazy adventures take place and I …

The animated animals are the focal point of this tale of a little fawn who grows to be a great prince of the forest. Growing with him are Thumper, a rabbit who tends to speak before thinking, and Flower, the shy skunk. Alongside this trio are a score of …

I have come across the neatest product and just have to share this with you! I had the lucky chance of finding Olive Oil Fine Quality Bath Soap. Yes, that it is the name of the product. Simple, isn’t it? The product is very straight forward, too. The soap …

Royal Wedding is one of the classic musicals from 1951 which is actually now in the public domain, which is why it’s often included in DVD compilations. That’s how I watched it recently, in fact. I’m sure I probably saw this as a child because I adore …
