Y Tu Mama Tambien
Y Tu Mama Tambien was really hard for me to follow. It is the story of two young men, Tenoch and Julio. Julio and Tenoch decide to go to the beach and convince Luisa to go with them. Tenoch and Julio are like college age and Luisa is an …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
It was an exhausting movie, with action everywhere, and debris flying all over the place. I am not a big transformers fan (probably because I am a girl), although I appreciated the effects of this Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. I grew up watching my brothers fight over …
Sense and Sensibility Movie
Sense and Sensibility, 1995, starring Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson is a very good adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic. When their father dies, the Dashwood family is left with very little means to live on. The house and everything in it is inherited by Mr. Dashwood’s son John from …
Calendar Girl movie
I have always loved the genre of musical films. They tend to be more entertaining in my opinion, offering drama in the form of song and dance in addition to the spoken and visual story that we are presented with. What I like about an early musical …
The Other Woman (movie)
I’m generally not a fan of what most people describe as “chick flicks”, but once in a very long while a movie might come along that I think I might enjoy. When I first saw the trailer for it some months ago, The Other Woman ended up being one …
House Of Wax Movie
The movie House of Wax was kind of disappointing, especially considering all the hype around it just because Paris Hilton was in it. It was really disappointing, as it almost kind of made you hope she could do something besides….well we all heard about the videos. Elisha Cuthbert and …
Baby Mama, comedy film
From the man that brought us the Austin Powers movies comes a new kind of comedy. Well Baby Mama isn’t really a new kind of movie; it is a comedy movie that has two leading ladies and no one else. Baby Mama might be the best movie from both …
The Butcher Movie
The thing about slasher movies is they normally are good if you’re looking for a good laugh or just like watching a lot of blood and gore. But, as far as being scary, most fall well short of expectations.
I had never heard of the movie The Butcher before so …
Untraceable
“Untraceable” is a nail biting movie with Diane Lane in one of her best roles. What is so interesting about this movie is that it has a slow beginning but, later on, it peaks up in a fast manner with a heart beating ending.
“Untraceable” is about Jennifer Marsh (Lane) …
Taken: Movie
Taken is one of the best movies that I saw last year, and certainly one of my favourites of the thriller genre.
The plot of a kidnapping or of a heroic dad rescuing his daughter is nothing new, but the script really makes it into something special.
I thought that the …
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Before the movie The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was released in theatres and I only saw the trailer, I was anticipating spending money to watch it since I was so sure that it was going to be much better than the first. Everything from the villains to the special effects looked …
Batman Begins Movie
The previous four films about Batman seemed to have presented everything that the comics that they were based upon and filmed had to offer. First the unsurpassed art-favorite Tim Burton carried the great adventures of the superhero in “Batman” (1989) and “Batman Returns” (1992), followed by Joel Schumacher who …
Iron Man
I believe that “Iron Man” is the best super hero movie for this year. What is really interesting about this movie is that it brings two great actors Robert Downey Junior and Gwyneth Partlow together on big screen for a great movie blockbuster.
In an interview, …

Movie The Candidate
“What do we do now?”
It’s a simple question, but it’s a chilling one when asked by Bill McKay in The Candidate. McKay is played brilliantly by Robert Redford. He’s a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. He’s idealistic, and he doesn’t believe in making deals. …

“X-Men: First Class” (2011 Film)
While all of the “X-Men” films have been great, and entertaining to watch as well, the latest 2011 film, “X-Men: First Class” really just tops the cake. To be able to see Magneto and Professor X along with Mystique and a few other mutants we all have gotten to …

Untraceable
Everyone I know uses the Internet so I can understand how it can become an obsession. So, when I picked up the movie Untraceable, about a Web site that feeds off viewer ship and murders people, I really could relate.
What made the movie Untraceable believable is the fact everything …
The Santa Clause 2 (2002 Film)
The Santa Clause was a great film that I loved as a child and as an adult. And the sequal to this family friendly film titled, “The Santa Clause 2” which came out in 2002 was also just as mesmerizing. In this film, we watch as Santa Clause (Scott …

Caveman
When I was a really young kid, I was infatuated with dinosaurs. I guess every kid probably was. I lived right outside of D.C. so I had no problems with visiting the museum regularly. I remember some cartoons like the Flintstones which celebrated the union between man and reptillian …
Titanic
This must have been a good movie because it evoked so many emotions from me. The setting and the characterizations were incredible. Leonardo is as always beautiful in it. The thing I hated was when she was on the door or whatever at the end and she says ‘I’ll …
Take the Lead movie
My husband won 2 tickets from our local radio station to an advanced screening of Take the Lead, the new Antonio Banderas movie.
I thought, here we go again, another movie about motivating under priviledged kids in inner city New York, (which is the theme of this movie). I was …
Steal This Film II
Digital “piracy” has been around for a while now, and it is a movement that is growing every day. There have been quite a few documentaries made about the phenomenon, one of those just happens to be Steal This Film II. It isn’t specifically about file sharing …
American Dad
I rarely watch American Dad. It’s a funny show, but the jokes are a little too crude to be watching with my daughter in the same room.
I did watch last night’s Christmas Special though and was entertained.
I think the reason I liked it so much is the fact they …
The Motorcycle Diaries movie

300 (2006)
From the vivid imagination of Frank Miller’s graphic novel, comes the movie version of ‘300′. If you have ever read about the Persian invasion, then chances are, you would know of the Spartans and their never say die attitude in battle. In this movie, 300 hardcore, blood thirsty patriot …
A Royal Affair (2012 Film)
As a fan of Madds Mikkelsen, I was eager to watch the film, A Royal affair. I’m not so big on history movies, but I figured I would give this particular movie a chance. It’s described to be a romance drama film, which usually makes for a good watch. …

An American Haunting
An American Haunting is a good movie, supposedly to be based on a true story about John Bell and his family. I was watching it with some friends and my boyfriend, and we were all ready to get spooked or something. Instead, the movie turned out pretty …
Home Town Story movie
From 1951, Home Town Story is another movie from Metro Goldwyn Mayer that gets right to the point. It has to because it’s just over an hour an length, which wasn’t uncommon for films before the sixties.
When I first put this on, I was taken aback somewhat by …
Passenger 57
Passenger 57 is an action flick starring Wesley Snipes and Bruce Payne released back in 1992 when audiences could tolerate terrorists and airline hijackers - unlike the post 9/11 world we live in today.
So anyway, Wesley Snipes plays John Cutter the good guy - a former cop turned airline …
Employee of the Month movie
“Employee of the Month” had to be a Jessica Simpson movie after her success movie “The Dukes of Hazzard”. Unfortunately for her this movie represented her nomination for the Razzie Award as the worst actress in a female role.
However, there are positive aspects to “Employee of the Month”. This …
Diary of a Mad Black Woman
OK, when I was forced to watch Tyler Perry’s movie Diary of a Mad Black Woman, I wasn’t happy about it. I don’t mind romantic comedies but I figured this was going to be your typical chick flick; with non-stop man bashing.
Fortunately, I was wrong and this turned out …
Justice League: Doom
As a fan of superheroes, I was looking forward to finally checking out DC’s animated film, “Justice League: Doom”. The direct to video feature is a loose adaptation of the “Tower of Babel” arc, that reveals that Batman has designed elaborate plans to take down each of his …

Edge of Tomorrow (movie)
It took me three tries to watch this movie. I gave up on it the first two times because I was tired and irritated and didn’t have the patience to wait for it to get to the point. On the third time however, when I wasn’t feeling so tired I …

Movie Sahara
If you enjoyed watching “The Mummy” and Indiana Jones series, then you are going to enjoy watching “Sahara” which is based on the book with the same name by Clive Cussler.
In “Sahara” the actor, Matthew McConaughey is Dirk Pitt, a marine engineer and explorer is searching of ‘the …
Jason Goes to Hell (Unrated Version)
The unrated version of Jason Goes to Hell is marginally better than the rated version, but that isn’t saying a whole lot. The movie still suffers from some plot problems, and some bad acting. After watching either version you will most likely end up feeling sorry for poor Erin …
