The Final Destination movie
We decided to rent the fourth Final Destination movie The Final Destination on Saturday. I’m not sure why we thought it would be as good as the first two (or even the crappy third one), but it proved to be somewhat of a mistake.
The movie had a plot that …
Big City movie
I saw Big City for the first time this week, and I just loved it. It’s a warm, sweet, tender family drama, though it couldn’t happen in today’s society. Back when it was filmed in 1948, I suppose it could have been possible.
The adorable and ultra talented …

Incident on a Dark Street movie
I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d seen this movie, Incident on a Dark Street, back when it aired in 1973, but I don’t remember it. Still, it was a TV pilot that had all the makings of a show I probably would watch. It didn’t sell, however, …
The Counterfeiters (2007) Movie
I just came across this movie title in Rottentomatoes.com when I was surfing the web looking for good movies to watch. I saw this and it was a German Film. This film is based on the true story in 1936, when Germany’s best forger, Salomon Sorowitsch, was sent to …

Peace, Love and Misunderstanding (comedy drama)
While I do like some independent drama films, I didn’t think I would enjoy this one based on the description that I had seen of it. My impression was that it would probably be too boring for me to enjoy or I wouldn’t be able to relate at all. However, …

Doctor Dolittle
Doctor Dolittle is a delightful musical that has stood up through the test of time as an entertaining film. Oddly, when released in 1967, it didn’t do well. Musicals were sadly on their way out, and Doctor Dolittle was one of the victims. However, it’s become …

Debra Messing is absolutely stunning in this film as she plays a single woman …

Bend it like Beckham (2002)
I think this is the very first movie I saw that starred Keira Knightley and trust me; it wasn’t all that great to launch her career as a serious Hollywood actress. This movie is based on a girl football oops, my bad soccer team and the trials that they …
Seventh Son movie (2015)
I’ll be coming as a viewer who hasn’t read the book series by Joseph Delaney but after having seen the movie, I’ll be buying a copy of book 1 of the series.

The Secret movie
I came across a movie on Netflix called “The Secret” and it sounded like a really good thriller. The fact it starred David Duchovny also won me over because I’ve always felt he was an underrated actor.
However, while the movie turned out to be halfway decent, I also found …
Miss Potter
Miss Potter is funny and nice. The movie stars Renee Zellweger and I love the way she speaks with a British accent! It’s so cute and funny and at the same time, understandable. She played the character of Beatrix Potter, so obviously she’s the Miss Potter there.
Ewan …

Ghostbusters movie
One of my favorite movies was the first Ghostbusters movie. Even now, I think of it as a classic even though it has one of my least favorite comedians and actors in there, Bill Murray. I think one of the reasons why I appreciated it too was that, even …
Rat Race movie
This is a hillarious lesser-known movie about a race to get 2 million dollars. I had never even heard of this movie until a friend brought it into work one night. I had stomach pains by the time it was over from laughing so hard.
It has an amazing cast: …

Holiday Wishes movie
I love to watch a good Christmas movie, and goodness knows, I’ve watched a ton, but even so, I have to admit that this 2006 TV movie, Holiday Wishes, is just a so-so film that doesn’t really emit any emotions of consequence. It’s a filler with mostly mediocre …
Species III (2004)
Third in the franchise of the species series, this one did not live up to the hype and instead of crashing and burning in the theatres trying to rake in the box office bucks, it went directly to DVD, and that is what you call ’smart’. Now, if you …
“Monsters” movie
Taking up for watching “Monster” I was hoping that it will be explosive combination of “The way” and “District 9″. So I was hoping for poetic road movie, as confirmed in the post-apocalyptic mood, which would become the matrix for an ambitious aesthetic, making a problems, science fiction story. …

The Little Mermaid
My daughter has dozens of original Disney films in our library for her to watch. One of my favorites of these has to be the classic movie “The Little Mermaid.”

Movie Mirrors
For me it’s difficult to watch Kiefer Sutherland and not think Jack Bauer (his character from 24 on the FOX network). However, even with that distraction I still ended up enjoying Mirrors, even though I’m usually highly critical about this type of movie.
Mirrors is the story of an …
