Movie-Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I had heard that this was a great movie, so I settled in to watch it with my boyfriend. This movie is incredibly slow. For the first like hour and a half, hardly anything happens, and Mr and Mrs Smith barely talk to each other. After an hour and …
Hitch Movie
One of the best and my favorite comedians and actors is Will Smith, he can do comedy as if he was born to do it and act comically, he also has great skills as with Bad Boys and Hancock, and here on Hitch I think this movie really suited …
Walt Disney Presents: Beyond Witch Mountain movie

Exiled (2007)
I find the movie Exiled pretty similar to one particular movie like a gangster wanting to be good type of story. Exiled is something like that, but the difference is that the setting of this movie is in Macau.
Anthony Wong and Francis Ng star and they sort of like …
Dead Poets Society (1989 Film)
The 1989 film, Dead Poets Society, was an emotional, rejuvenating yet sorrowfully disturbing tale that left me both impressed, yet extremely sad for the main characters. If you are a fan of an elaborate tale about being inspired to enjoy literature as well as life by “Seizing the day” …
ZA: Zombies Anonymous
OK, I’m a fan of Zombie movies, that’s no secret. So, I decided to give ZA: Zombies Anonymous a try just for the heck of it.

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Movie (2010)

Entrapment
“Entrapment” is the movie were the likes of Sir Sean Connery mix up with at the time rising star Catherine Zeta Jones. The result is simply a great movie with drama, action and romance making the most of a great issue at the time the milliannium conversion.

Easy A (Movie 2010)

Bulletproof monk Chow Yun-Fat
This is a great light hearted action flick. I love Chow Yun-Fat as an actor and he was wonderful in this movie. I enjoyed the mythical martial art stunts of the characters. It is based on a comic book about a Tibetan monk who starts to mentor a young …
Noting Hill
Noting Hill - Review Notting hill is an enjoyable romantic comedy. Hugh grant is a book seller, who falls in love with Julia ROberts.

Shaadi No.1
Shaadi No.1 is a comedy movie.The story is narrated around three husbands, three wives and three girl friends. I think the story is clear. David Dhawan, the director of the movie, showed the consequences that could be faced by husbands, if they cheat their wives and lag behind girl …
Mama, film by Andres Muschietti
First-time feature film director Andrés Muschietti tries with Mama, an expansion of his earlier short film similarly titled, to paint the horror genre into a warmer, more fantastical light, whilst at the same time keeping overused plot contrivances as a foundation, so that the modern audience might not feel …
Jack the Giant Slayer (movie)
Even though I have not watched many movies this summer as a result of a lack of time, the movie “Jack the Giant Slayer” was one of the very few that I did, especially since I was looking forward to seeing it ever since I first saw the trailer …
Coco (2017 Pixar Animated Film)
Unlike recent years, animated movies really dove down in quality. The Emoji Movie is considered as one of the worst movies ever made; The Lego Ninjago’s critical acclaim failed to match its predecessors’ wit; and then we have Despicable Me 3 and The Boss Baby. We did have The Lego …
The Wedding Crashers

He’s Just Not That Into You
My husband and I saw this movie last weekend. We went to a Sunday matinee and the theatre was PACKED! The theatre was full of mostly girls, but my husband didn’t mind too much. This is definitely a chick flick.
The cast was great. I especially loved Ginnifer Goodwin and …
Bad Boys II Movie
This movie is an action-packed movie starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence and I really liked how Michael Bay directed the movie; it wasn’t too exaggerated and there weren’t any boring parts and even though there were scenes that were really extravagant and too impossible to happen in real …

Precious which came out on November 6th, 2009, was a great inspirational movie that entails a teenager going through some hard obstacles. Her name was Clareece “Precious” Jones, which everyone just called her Precious. She stayed with her mom in Harlem who treated her bad and gave her a …
Don’t Look Now movie
The self-taught director Nicholas Roeg made the incredible beautiful and mysterious film called Walkabout in the early 1970s, and followed it up with this horrific film with diabolic undertones.

Miami Vice (2006)
Don’t rent or buy this movie if you’re expecting to see a big screen version of “Miami Vice” that mirrors the slick coolness of the television show it is based upon. Colin Farrell, as Detective Sonny Crockett, doesn’t come anywhere close to having Don Johnson’s rakish swagger. …
Gulliver’s Travels 2010 movie
In the bad and disappointing comedy series hall of fame, walks Gulliver’s Travels. The film retains in a certain extent the classic story of Gulliver in the land of dwarfs.
I do not know why certain changes were made in the script (probably have tried to adapt to today) so …
Beauty and the Beast
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is my all-time favorite animated movie. It is indeed a timeless cinema classic. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this movie but I never get tired of watching it over and over again. It’s the story of a prince who was turned …

I have always been a Michael Jackson fan, and as long as I can remember, I loved his music and was in awe of his dancing ability. As with almost everyone I know, his death was a shock, and I wanted to see the new movie about his last …
Last Holiday movie
Once in a while, an unexpectedly decent movie shows up, and for some reason it is not really noticed. This is yet another such movie. A remake of the 1950 British movie with Alec Guinness, this new, 2006 version stars Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd, a quiet, hard-working woman …
Mickey Blue Eyes
I think I must have watched “Mickey Blue Eyes” endless times and I still keep watching it. What I like about it most is that it presents a very different perspective on how to portrait the mafia on the big screen. One can have no difficulty believing the mafia …
Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid

Order of the Pheonix

Cinderella, Movie (2015)
Many versions of the classic tale of Cinderella have been made and all follow the same storyline with little variation. ‘Cinderella’ (2015), is no exception, however with compelling characters and stunning visuals, I find myself enchanted by the movie. Although I was watching the same story that I’ve seen many …
The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005 movie)
Just by the title’s name you can already summize what the movie is about, so I need not get into the dirty details of this movie, and believe me, it is dirty. This is one of the movies that give men a bad name, but other than that, it …
Last Vegas (2013 Film)

It’s somehow fascinating how …

Friday the 13th Uncut (1980), slasher film
Friday the 13th was not the first slasher movie, but it does get credit for a few things. The biggest seller point to Friday the 13th is the fact we never saw anything like this, at the time. To this day Friday the 13th has been able to stand …
Movie Deception
Overall this was an alright movie, I thought that it could have been a lot better. It kind of dragged out some during the beginning of the movie. There was also too much sex in the movie, I thought anyway. It’s about this accountant who meets this guy and …
The Equalizer (2014 Film)
The Equalizer is an Action film I had the opportunity to view. I was lead to go see it after viewing a trailer for it one evening. As with many of the trailers on TV, I was intrigued almost instantly. I am not the biggest fan of Denzel Washington, …

The Carson City Kid movie
Roy Rogers stars in this 1940 western called The Carson City Kid. I have to admit that watching this movie was a relaxing experience. I just sort of kicked back and enjoyed a simple picture that was the classic good versus evil battle.
Rogers played a man masquerading …
Gattaca (movie)
The first time that I remember seeing the movie “Gattaca” was some years ago in about 2011. At the time I was a bit baffled because here was this science fiction movie with actors such as Ethan Hawke , Jude Law and Uma Thurman that was released in 1997, …
The Empire Strikes Back movie
