Kill Bill Volume 1
I’m not a big fan of Quentin Tarantino so before I saw Kill Bill Volume 1, I didn’t really know what to expect (I failed to watch the much talked about Pulp Fiction). I’m sure glad I watched it because it’s truly one of the most engaging movies I’ve …
Iron Man
Today I went to see Iron Man. What an excellent film.
This is the first of all the Marvel films that I feel like really had it all. A good plot, story line, special effects, cast of characters and really solid acting.
It’s rare to find this combination in a film …
10,000 BC
I watched this movie in the theaters on a date. It was a really good movie. It kept me entertained and really interested as to what was going on. I really enjoyed the movie and so did they guy I was with. It’s a really good movie and I …

War of the Worlds-2005
The recent War of the Worlds movie starring Tom Cruise is one of the best big budget movies I have seen in a long time.
The story centers around a divorced man (Tom Cruise) who lacks responsibility in his life. When aliens invade, he is forced to take charge to …
Clifford the Big Red Dog Doggie Detectives
I went to our local Movie Gallery last night in search of a movie for my 4-year-old daughter. She has been watching a lot of Scooby Doo movies lately and, because she’s a bit too young to be watching without getting scared, has been having nightmares. So, I wanted …
Gangs of New York
WHen the movie Gangs of New Yrok was supposed to be released in theatres, I was eager to watch it not only because I have always loved many historical films but it would have been the the first time in a long time that I had seen the actor …
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Casey Affleck and Brad Pitt played in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. In case you guys do not know who Casey Affleck is, he is Ben Affleck’s brother, the husband to Jennifer Garner. So yeah. This movie is quite alright but it …
LAST HOLIDAY WITH QUEEN LATIVA DVD
I just saw the DVD of Last Holiday with Queen Lativa, and I have to say it is just a ‘make you feel great!’ movie! I cannot imagine anyone not totally enjoying this DVD! I even bought one for my friend who lives quite far away from my County.
This …
All the King’s Men
I wasn’t able to see “All the King’s Men” with Sean Penn when it went through the theatres, but look forward to seeing in on DVD. I recently watched the 1949 version with Broderick Crawford and loved it. It’s in black and white, a medium that is used far …
Oceans-movie (2010)
Last night, my best friend and I went to see the movie Oceans and I have to say that it was pretty good! I would totally recommend going to see it, especially if you like not only Hollywood, but also documentary type of movies. You will enjoy learning about …
The American movie
George Clooney’s The American movie had some good and bad points to it in my opinion. I will admit off the top to not being a big thriller fan, but Clooney is such a good actor that sometimes I will tune into things that I would not normally. …
Superbad
When I first saw the previews for Superbad, I was extremely excited and was ready to see one of the funniest movies in recent memories. All of the critics were praising it and when I walked into the theater I was ready to have my mind blown. …
Scott Turow’s The Burden of Proof - Part 1 movie
Scott Turow’s The Burden of Proof - Part 1 held some interest for me here and there, though it’s not something I would normally watch. Hector Elizondo stars as attorney Sandy Stern. Fresh off a victory, he goes home and finds his wife of many years dead, …
High Society movie
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen High Society, but the opportunity presented itself again recently, so I gave it a watch. Overall, it’s just a cute and bubbly movie with Grace Kelly putting on airs and Bing Crosby as the down the earth pal who just …
Dude, Where’s My Car?
Remember when Dude, Where’s My Car? was first shown on the cinemas? I think there are just movies that truly “work” and some just don’t. And the actors play an active role as well. If you put non-funny actors in a funny comedy movie, it won’t work …
Perfume The Story of a Murderer (2006)
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer stars Ben Wilshaw as Jean-Baptiste Grenouille who was born into the revolting street smells of eighteenth century Paris with an obsession with scents and with little else filling his head. I am not usually attracted to films that are described as a …
The Parent Trap
My mom purchased this version of the classical Parent Trap. I’ve watched it over a hundred times and it still gets me laughing. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t even heard of it or seen it. It’s just another one of those things that gets passed down generation to …
Hell Comes to Frogtown
So I just saw this little gem for the first time. For those not in the know, Hell Comes to Frogtown is a 1987 post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick starring none other than Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Piper plays the titular character, Sam Hell. He’s one of the last potent men …
The Terminal Movie
When Tom Hanks plays in a Spielberg production the result can be nothing less than success. The movie The Terminal was first screened in 2004 and has since been one of my favorite ones. I loved it immediately when I first saw it. Spielberg talks about survival, adaptation in …
Angry Beavers
“Angry Beavers” was a Nickelodeon cartoon which used to air on the channel Nickelodeon in the late nineteen nineties, and the early 2000s. When I first discovered it though, I didn’t watch it because I found the cartoon annoying despite the fact that at the time I had not …
The Crow Movie

What Happens in Vegas, romantic comedy film
It is usually a safe bet to put Ashton Kutcher in a movie and see big numbers. The same goes for Cameron Diaz. What Happens in Vegas didn’t exactly change the way we view comedy movies, but it was enough to earn almost a hundred million dollars in box …
The best bet
‘The best bet’ is a movie, which is directed by Jack Neo. The actors are Richard, Mark, Christopher etc.. This is a Singaporean film. The three main characters in the film are Tan Chun Huang, Lee and Richard. Now, Huang is a gambler. He is addicted to gambling. He …
Police Academy (movie)
I haven’t watched the unedited version (as in, actual movie not one edited for TV) of Police Academy in years. But, after watching it again last weekend, I have to say I now realize just how good it was.
Other movies have tried to put together an insane group of …
Marie Antoinette movie
Marie Antoinette is a fairly new movie about the infamous, young queen of France. Marie was a native Austrian, brought to France to marry the prince. Both Marie and her future husband were little more than children when they married, as they were both young teenagers. Of course it …

The Ghost and the Darkness movie
When I saw the Ghost and the Darkness on sale at the store I had to buy it for my collection. This is one of the most suspense filled movies I’ve ever seen and definitely one that will make you think.
I think this is one of Val Kilmer’s and …
Disney’s Cinderella
If my daughter were writing this review of Disney’s Cinderella, it would be scathing. For some reason, Snow White is the reigning queen of the Disney Princesses, and she isn’t even technically a princess until the end. I smile whenever she goes into one of her rants when Cinderella …
The Invasion Movie
I think The Invasion is one of those movies that probably could have been pretty good, but ended up getting the raw end of the stick. The movie was supposed to come out a few years ago, but kept getting pushed back and pushed back. I remember reading a …
Urban Justice
I personally thought the star of Steven Seagal was fading in the early to mid nineties. It seems as if someone keeps letting him make movies. Not that I mind him making more movies. But like this newest Seagal flick, Urban Justice proves, if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen …
Race to Witch Mountain movie
This 2009 theatrical release reinvents the story told in Disney’s Escape to Witch Mountain that captivated a younger generation back in 1975. This is the 5th version of the movie which has a science fiction theme surrounding children and a mysterious mountain. There are some updated elements …
I Walk the Line (2005)

Tropic Thunder
When I learned that the funny trio of Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. was realized, I couldn’t wait to see the film. Tropic Thunder is a morbid fascination with contemporary warfare. It does not present jokes in the obvious but it shoves a jokey momentum …
Turbulence movie
I completely forgot about the movie “Turbulence” until very recently when I saw it being broadcast on a cable televison channel again. Since the name sounded familiar I decided to even watch half of it in order to refresh my memory on the movie. The result was that I …

The Exorcist 3
I am reviewing the movie, The Exorcist 3, starring George C. Scott and Jason Miller. It is a sequel to The Exorcist and The Exorcist 2. The Exorcist was excellent, but the second one was ridiculous. With this in mind, I didn’t expect much from the third …
