A Christmas Carol 1999 movie
A Christmas Carol, 1999, starring Patrick Stewart, has left me disappointed. I love the story, and I thought Stewart could make a good Scrooge, but his performance had not touched me at all. The movie followed the book closely enough. Scrooge, a lonely, hard-hearted businessman, hates Christmas because he …
Men In Black II
The sequel to Men In Black suffers from the same disease that plagues most sequels, it fails to live up to the expectations that viewers had after the masterpiece of the first movie. One of the saving graces of this sequel is that the main characters come back, even …
Sinister (movie)
I didn’t know anything about the movie “Sinister” until I went to see “End of Watch” in the movie theatres and saw it advertising. Based on what I had seen in the trailer, I knew immediately that I had wanted to see it in the theatres with a friend …
Must Love Dogs movie
We recently rented the DVD “Must Love Dogs,” starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. Or, I should say, my wife rented it.
This is definitely a roma-comedy, a chick flick, more appropriate to a girls nite with Ben & Jerry than to a nite with her husband.
There is some …
Movie Emma
This movie is as charming as funny as it is romantic, and it is another film based off of one of Jane Austen’s works. The colors are lovely, and the characters all are just as I would have imagined them after reading the book. It is very accurate, and …
Veggie Tales: The Pirates who don’t do anything
I’ve sat down to watch Veggie Tale movies with my daughter before. But, I’ve only done it to be nice; I’ve rarely enjoyed the experience. However, the movie The Pirates who don’t do Anything, is definitely an exception. I actually liked the movie as much as she did.
Unlike other …

The words that describe best the movie “The English Patient” is magical and fascinating. This movie, which was nominated for 12 Oscars and won 9 of them, is the director’s Anthony Minghella best movie.

The New Adventures of Heidi movie
It’s hard for me to find a Heidi tale that I don’t like. Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of them and most of them have their own unique quality that makes it work. That’s the case with The New Adventures of Heidi from 1978. …
The Movie Cars
I have to admit that when I heard about this movie I was rather skeptical. Not that I don’t like Pixar films, but rather about the subject matter of this movie. When I saw the trailer for this movie it really semed more like an animated version of …

My Best Friend’s Wedding
Remember the movie, My Best Friend’s Wedding..? Yes the movie starring Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz..? I am so totally into that movie when it was first released and later upon, caught it on DVD as well.
My mom labeled me as crazy because I not only …
The Marsh movie
I always get a bit nervous when I rent a movie I have never heard about before; especially one that advertises itself as a thriller. After all, you never know what you’re going to get and it’s even harder to guess if you don’t have any previews to work …
The Wedding Singer movie
A great film that I would recommend to everyone is The Wedding Singer. The film stars Adam Sandler, (also of 50 First Dates and Big Daddy) and Drew Barrymore, (also of E.T, 50 First Dates and Never Been Kissed). Adam Sandler plays a character called Robbie Hart …
K-9 (1989)
Similar to that of the movie Turner and Hooch, pairs the human element and the animal element into a movie to try to get a favorable response by the animal lover in most people. I have noticed that everything has its time in the spotlight and every genre is …

Ocean’s Thirteen
Ocean’s Thirteen was one of the most anticipated “threequels” this year. Among a myriad of third instalments, it was one of those that were expected to improve on their predecessors and it delivers well.
The clever and thrilling plot revolves around Danny Ocean’s attempt at avenging senior Ocean member Reuben’s …
Finding Nemo
First I want to start off by saying that the hype of this movie was a big let down. I got my expectations set to high before I watched this movie I just expected more from it. It was still a very good movie that had a lot of …

Rose Red, movie directed by Stephen King
I have always been a fan of supernatural movies so when I came across Rose Red by Stephen King I had high hopes. The movie (made from the miniseries) was not as great as I expected but still became one of my favorites.
The plot tells of a teacher …

The Kids are Alright Movie
Start with a lesbian couple, throw in a sexy B-list starlet, and some precocious teens and you have The Kids Are Alright, a surprising contender for several of this year’s Oscars. I really wanted to like this movie, and I mostly did, however there was something about it that …
The Aviator, movie
You could call this a match made in heaven. Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese team up for the “Aviator” and managed to surprise me on all fronts with an excellent drama that viewers can’t help but like. With the real life of Howard Hughes so cloaked by his own …

Date with an Angel
I can remember watching this movie a couple years ago one Saturday when there was absolutely nothing interesting going on on television. I had seen it on the television guide and there was no summary so I didn’t know what it would be about, but nevertheless, decided to try …
Grandma’s Boy Movie
I was at a friend’s house when I first heard about this movie. He said to me “It’s called Grandma’s Boy”. I laughed, thinking it was about a little boy who was spoiled by his grandma and wanted to stay at her house all the time. This was not …
Caddyshack 2 Movie
While I am not one of the biggest fans of golf, I love Caddyshack 2. And believe me, it’s not for the golf. It’s for the comedy. While I have seen the first Caddyshack, I saw the second movie first and I always seem to rotate back to the …
Beauty Shop movie
I had always seen the movie “Beauty Shop” being advertised on the television guide, but I never took much notice of it until one Saturday when I had nothing else to watch. I always had the impression that it was going to be a stupid and overrated movie starring …
Short Circuit 2 movie
Short Circuit 2 is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I grew up watching Johnny 5 is alive in the first Short Circuit. I really love the music and soundtrack to the movie. The song Who is Johnny is just wonderful. I must say I do enjoy …
Hell or High Water (2016 Western Heist Film)
2016 is coming to a close, I have been in agreement with my mind to choose the possibly best film of the year to close another trip around the sun.
I initially planned to watch Sully, although later in my choosing I decided to watch a deeper story. Reviews pointed out …
Inception (2010 film)
In the 2010s a new director is threatening to steal the whole Hollywood show for himself-this director is quickly getting close to the very top of my list and his name is Cristopher Nolan-a film-maker whose every new film is better than the last one. His last one is …
Evil Dead Movie
My dear readers, I like enjoying thrill movies especially like ghosts movies. The joke here is that , i am very much afraid in seeing the ghost movies. But i was very much keen towards the movie to watch
alone esepcially. I normally used to see movies with my friends. …

The Orphanage (2007)
Yesterday, my whole family and my boyfriend managed to watch this DVD movie, The Orphanage (2007), and I must say it scared the daylights out of us. This is a Spanish movie, so be prepared to read the subtitles. It ain’t that bad, but ain’t that good either. …
Gone With The Wind
Gone With The Wind is a classic, there is no question about that. It is a well-made and well-acted movie that tells a good story. However, I must say that I find it almost unwatchable at times because I absolutely hate Scarlett O’Hara. Don’t get me wrong: Vivien Leigh …
Mirrors
Mirrors looked like scary and it is actually, in certain areas of the movie story. I watched it alone actually and Kiefer Sutherland played the lead. This movie is actually a remake of a Korean movie actually, having the title Mirrors too.
What is the story about actually..? …
Spiderwick chronicles
My sister has wanted to watch the Spiderwick Chronicles now for a long time. So I bought it for her on her last birthday. She was extremely excited when she got it and she watched it that night. I think she must have watched it for about 5 …
The Karate Kid (2010 Movie)
The new remake of the classic movie The Karate Kid is not a disappointment. I watched the original before going to the theatre, and I still found it to be a great retelling.
There are many classic movies that cannot be remade- if Star Wars, for example, were remade, there …
The film The Secret
I found this “The Secret” to be quite ridiculous, a tad boring, and totally unrealistic. This “movie” generated much hype a couple of years ago and, like most, I fell for it all and ran out to rent it. BIG mistake. It spends two agonizing hours …
Black Cat Episode 5
Black Cat Episode 5 begins with Sven and Rinslett are hiding Eve while they figure out what to do next and meanwhile Black Cat, Train Heartnet blatantly defies Chronos and leaves the organization.
This episode was really good and gives Train Heartnet a personality; it also shows that he has …
Loaded Weapon 1
It has been ages since I’ve seen the movie Loaded Weapon 1. And, I have to say, I had completely forgotten just how funny this movie was.
It features Emilio Estevaz before he ruined his career by doing stupid kids movies. And, between his performance as a burned out cop …

Toula’s family is loud, boisterous, obnoxious, eccentric, and insanely Greek. She’s …
The Count of Monte Cristo,2002 Movie
The Count of Monte Cristo, 2002. Apart from the book, this movie is decent. If you have not read the novel by Alexander Dumas and are not familiar with the story, you will probably enjoy it. However, the fans of the book will just shake their heads. The story …
