The Gnome-Mobile
Here is another Disney treasure from my past. I can still remember seeing this movie as a double feature at the drive-in movies, growing up in Southern California. What made it Disney was its comic sequences, and its stock character actors, namely Ed Wynn, Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber, …
New Moon movie
While every other girl in the world was looking forward to New Moon I wasn’t sure what to expect. I found the first movie in the series Twilight entertaining but not worth all the fuss and the book was simple at best.
So I went in to see New …

The most pervasive sin in our society isn’t lust, far from it in fact which is why it’s so easy for us to see, but far more dangerous to our society are greed and gluttony, and driving to that point in a humorous and profound way is What Would …
Inglourious Basterds: Movie
Inglourious Basterds is without a doubt my favourite movie of 2009.
It’s fascinating, thrilling, unique and even has moments of comedy in it all at the same time.
The plot is an interesting one; I like how they took a different approach to things rather than the typical World War 2 …
Samantha Jones, character of Sex and the City
Are you a big fan of Sex and the City? Which character from Sex and the City that you like most? Besides Carrie Bradshaw, the main lead, I always give my two thumbs up for Samantha Jones for her confidence, independence and her bravery in sexual life.
Samantha Jones is …
Fool’s Gold (2008) movie
In the early parts of this movie, I found it hard to stay tuned as the dialog was dull and boring and there was not much to hold on to that would keep me interested in watching this movie, but I waited patiently with hopes that it would pick …
Gothika -movie
As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …
Flyboys Movie
This is truly an amazing classic movie during the world war, it is a true story that really happened and it stars James Franco as a fighter pilot up in the sky fighting enemies to save his country. He and his friends find it hard as they are always …
Babel (Film)
Trust me if I say this: I have never seen a film with intertwining characters as honest and coincidental as this. All because of Alejandro Gonzales Inaritu’s compelling writing and masterful directing that we were able to see four stories, in three countries interweave each other in the most …
Officer (movie), 2001
The movie Officer released in 2001. I watched it on cable. It was an okay film. I really did not like it much. But it is a nice time pass film. The leading roles in the film have been played by Sunil Shetty and Raveena Tandon. Sunil Shetty plays …
Tina Fey (actress, producer)
I have way more respect for actress Tina Fey since I started watching episodes of ‘30 Rock’ on DVD. I caught one episode when it first came on the air. But for some reason, I never followed up on the program. When Tina Fey …
Anthony Hemmingway’s Red Tails movie
My husband and I both love movies that are based partly on historical events so when we saw the advertisement for Red Tails on Red Box we decided that we would rent it as a fun movie for the two of us. We only paid $1.20 to rent the …

When I saw the preview to Ghost Rider, I was impressed. I am a fan of Nick Cage and at the time he had 2 movies soon to be released. The imagery of the Ghost rider was good, graphic and it really illustrated the concept; Rider for the devil. …
The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)
Following the happenings of Pitch Black, this movie continues the tale of Riddick, a criminal and killer the likes the universe is not ready for. The short stop on the dark planet that gave us an inside look of what Riddick is capable of is only a glimpse into …
War of The Worlds, DVD

Warlock movie
I found this movie a lot of fun. It seems to me a mixture of genres: a little bit fantasy with the magic, a little bit action with all the running around and a little bit horror with the bad guy killing people. The movie is well made and …
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
The best way to describe this movie is a cute teenager movie with a humoristic twist. ‘Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging’ is about 14 year old Georgia Nicholson (Georgia Groome) who simply isn’t happy with her life. She dreams of having a boyfriend and thinks that she found the …

Open Season: movie
Open Season is an animated movie which was made using computer-generated graphics. The movie is marketed to kids, but in my opinion, adults could really enjoy it as well. The movie is about a tame bear named Boog . He meets and befriends a one antlered …
The Twilight Zone episode “Memphis” (2003)
I have always been a fan of television show “The Twilight Zone.” The series, which began decades ago was always successful in creeping me out. I was thrilled when producers decided to bring the series back, and cast popular actors in the episodes. The …
Music and Lyrics Movie
I have always liked Hugh Grant’s self deprecating, “am I sure this is where I should be?” persona that he brings to the characters he plays. That is not to say that he is a character actor, he seems to play the same person in every film, but …
27 dresses
This was a ok movie but I think that they could have made it a lot better. It wasn’t all that funny and it was also boring throughout the movie. There were only a couple of parts that I thought were funny and most of those parts were shown …

I was really looking forward to watching this movie even though the reviews weren’t favorable. The premise of the movie was that you received a call from yourself telling you how you were going to die. It gave you the exact date and time of when you were going …

A Perfect Getaway (movie)

Music and Lyrics (movie )
I’m a fan of both Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, so I had some interest in seeing them together in Music and Lyrics. But, I didn’t know I’d enjoy the movie so much. Grant plays Alex, a has been pop star and Barrymore is Sophie, an aspiring …

Notorious movie
From 1946, Notorious is a classic movie that has been respected and admired since it was made. It’s a movie of intrigue right from the start. It keeps you on your toes, uncertain of motivations and realities.
Filmed in black and white, Notorious stars Cary Grant as T.R. …
Sean Penn’s Indian Runner. A Movie
I watched this movie over at my parents house a few months ago and quite honestly I was not overly impressed. The movie was both written and directed by Sean Penn and released in 1991 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.

The Triangle - Part 2 movie
The special effects in The Triangle, part 2 (and all parts actually), are very good and are part of the lure of what is a six-hour production. This movie or mini-series, depending on how you want to think of it, aired in 3 parts in 2005. It’s …
Why Did I Get Married? (PG-13, 2007)
Tyler Perry is truly one of the underdog success stories in American filmmaking. His stage plays have brought him tons of success. But I am still waiting for him to make a really riveting movie. “Why Did I Get Married?” is full of stars (Janet Jackson, …
My Cousin Vinny
One of my favorite movies of all times has to be “My Cousin Vinny.” For anyone who has not seen this movie since it came out in 1992, give it a try. You will find yourself laughing through most of the movie.
The first thing that drew me …
Fried Green Tomatoes (starring Kathy Bates)

X-Men First Class movie

Deep Impact (1998)
Deep Impact is, yes, one of those catastrophy-blockbusters dealing with the subject of an asteroid hitting the Earth, and the way humanity tries to deal with it. All in all, it is a mediocre film, but in a way it did catch my attention. I think there’s much more …
50 First Dates
I’m usually not the type to fall for romantic comedies because they tend to be predictable and sometimes even stupid, in my opinion. This idea, however, did not pertain to the movie 50 First Dates. I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it a …
License to Wed
License to Wed is a not so good romantic comedy movie. The movie has Robbie Williams, Mandy Moore, and John Krasinski playing the pivotal roles. The movie has a very artificial plot and it is not convincing at any point. Though the main point of the plot is silly …
Meet The Rottens
Ian and Axl Rotten had a heck of a blood feud in ECW many years ago and prior to that they were a heck of a tag team. While wrestling fans have enjoyed their battles for years and have seen them repeatedly, they will all get something new …
