Dead Like Me: The Ledger
Dead Like Me: The Ledger has a bit of a change for Roxy, who leaves behind the world of meter maids and joins the police force. It’ll be interesting to see how this goes in the future, but the first thing I noticed about it was that she …
Maneater (2008)
This is one of the natural horror (creature) movies in the “Maneater Series”. This particular one is about a man-eating tiger. I love these sorts of movies and try to watch every one that I can find. This is one of the good ones, too. It has a solid …
Hairspray movie
I am very surprised at how much I liked this movie with it being a musical. I don’t know if its because they had such good actors and actresses in the movie or what. I really enjoyed watching it and I usually don’t like musicals. I enjoyed watching this …
Magnolia (movie)
When I watch a movie I really try to give it a fair chance and will sit through a lot before giving up. I approached the movie “Magnolia” excitedly. It featured William H. Macy, an actor I respect very much, and Julianne Moore who was excellent in “The Shipping …
Wanted Movie
I was excited to see this movie. I was a bit disappointed when I finally watched it. I expected more action from it. There was actually some, but I am not contented. The plot itself is thin and the story is typical. The first few minutes were exciting but …
Shun Li and the Poet — Drama
In Venice’s lagoon which is far off from the city itself is a quaint fishing hamlet named Chioggia. It is a place where, for a very long period of time, the Fishers of the small village have been involved feeding the metropolitan area’s appetites. It is here …
The Spy Who Loved Me movie
The third 007 film starring Roger Moore is one of my favorites. The background story is the usual: someone is threatening to take over the world and Bond has to stop him. What really is unusual about this film, and this amazed me more than anything when I first …
Broken Bridges movie
“Broken Bridges” has a good story with great potential in attracting a great audience, however something along the line failed. The acting is awful, the filming and editing is sadly not good enough and the sound of this movie is terrible! In other words, this movie sucks!
Why did I …
Ratatouille
I hate rats so I wasn’t so keen on watching the animated movie Ratatouille. But constant prodding by my bestfriend to see the movie made me give in. Plus the fact that alot of people say it’s a nice movie. Indeed it is. From Pixar Animation Studios and Walt …
The Main Event movie
In 1979, Barbra Streisand and Ryan O’Neal teamed up for their second movie together in The Main Event. They’d been wildly popular with their earlier film, What’s Up, Doc? and here, they tried to make movie magic again. It’s actually not a bad movie. I enjoyed …
Steel Dawn movie
After wrapping up the filming of Dirty Dancing, Patrick Swayze won the lead role in a futuristic drama called Steel Dawn. Playing opposite him was Lisa Niemi, his real-life wife. Interestingly, no one realized they were married. Lisa had already won the role of Kasha before …
Just a Little Inconvenience movie
Just a Little Inconvenience isn’t the easiest movie to watch, but it is a powerful and potent film. From 1977, the movie stars Lee Majors and James Stacy. In real life, Stacy was involved in a motorcycle accident that resulted in the lost of an arm and …
Transformers Animated Series - Jazz Action Figure
Jazz is definitely one of the best action figures in the Transformers Animated Series toy line! He is equally awesome in robot mode and car mode, and he retains enough of his look from the original series that you recognize him as Jazz. However, his figure is …
Dumb & Dumber
I don’t think anyone else but Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey could play Harry and Lloyd. You hear that all the time, that so-and-so are born to play a role, but Jim Carrey was Lloyd Christmas, and Jeff was Harry Dunne. They both stepped into these characters seamlessly, artfully. …
Unthinkable (movie)
Recently I watched a suspense movie named “Unthinkable”. One of the main reasons why it stood out was because it was more of a psychological thriller. I thought that this was unique since basic plots like these which have terrorist and the United States military tend to have a …
Joe Dirt (2001)
A twisted tale of a strange man who is on a ridiculous mission. Joe is the topic of a talk radio show, how he got there is simply this, he was found by the producer after he was being bullied by hostile people and was then taken into the …
The Elephant Man Movie
“The Elephant Man” tells the story of John Merrick, a young Englishman born with a rare disease, possibly what is now called Proteus Syndrome. Horribly disfigured, John is being shown as a curiosity at carnivals and other events under the name of the Elephant Man. That’s where a London …
Hush Hush Sweet Charlotee (movie)
Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte is a movie about an old woman, Charlotte, who is played by Bette Davis. I love Bette Davis and certainly Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte is one of her best films. So Charlotte is living the remaining years of her life in an old mansion with …
Movie Tinker Bell
I’m sure we all have heard about her. She’s cute, shining, flying and has become a classic. We’ve seen her as Peter Pan’s little friend who doesn’t speak but now she has her very own movie where the spotlight is on her from start to end. It has been …
Bratz Babyz movie
I’ve always said, if it keeps my daughter occupied, it’s a great movie. And, Bratz Babyz is one of those movies.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb plot. A bunch of toddler girls are able to wander a mall unsupervised without anyone noticing while trying to rescue their kidnapped dog. …
Movie The Unborn
At first I really wanted to see this film. The previews looked incredibly scary. And as usual the powers that be put the scariest, most disturbing scenes in the actual trailer. I cannot believe that I actually was going to visit the movie theater …
Eight Below I
I am reviewing the movie, Eight Below. So there’s this guy. He has huskeys. He goes on missions for paying people in the cold. His dogs mean a lot to him. During one particular occasion, a scientist enlists his services and asks him to take him …
Harry Brown 2009
I just saw the film “Harry Brown” tonight with my husband. This is a British movie starring Michael Caine. I first got interested about it when I found out that the gist of the movie was revenge, vigilante-style. One of the similar movies that I have seen was Clint …
Dr. Alien movie
Wesley goes to High School, just any ordinary school where nothing exciting ever happens. One day there is a new biology teacher who involves Wesley in a strange experiment that makes all girls attracted to him.
This is a rather stupid and a bit sick High School comedy that doesn’t …
Movie: 2 Fast 2 Furious
Synopsis: This sequel to the movie The Fast and The Furious sees Paul Walker’s character (now no longer a cop) helping out the customs department in an effort to bust a drug dealer with the help of one of his friends.
What I liked about this movie: Much like the …
All the President’s Men Movie
About the two investigating journalists who discovered the remarkable and shocking Watergate scandal in the early 1970s, something that came on the news in the whole world afterwards.
Even though I think the story here is interesting and that both Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford are great as the two …
Sherlock Holmes: The Woman in Green
I love Sherlock Holmes books and have heard good things about some of the old black & white Sherlock Holmes movies. So, since I was once again up with our youngest daughter last night, I decided to give one of them a try Sherlock Holmes: The Woman in Green.
The …
Woman’s World
Woman’s World is an oldie but goodie. The movie was made in 1954 and some might call it dated, but I watched this movie a lot growing up and really like it. I wish I could find it on DVD or that cable would air it.
The vehicle …
Babysitter Wanted Horror movie
I am reveiwing the new Horror movie “Babysitter Wanted”. At first I thought this movie was going to be more like a Halloween Micke Myers kind of movie but when I beheld the child with the horns in the top of his head i was more than flabbergasted.
Initially …
Doomsday
10,000BC is currently where I draw the line for horrible contemporary cinema and while the quality of Doomsday doesn’t fall quite so far, it’s perhaps in a similar ballpark. Personally I hate both parks and balls but I use this analogy with the intention of making it clear …
Pearl Harbor movie
I won’t be giving much plot info in this review, because that is easily accessible on Wikipedia or something. To start, I needed to state that I do not like romance movies in any way. I am more of an action movie type of gal, but I still …
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 …
Movie: Furry Vengence
As I mentioned in another review, my daughter convinced my wife to get movies from one of those movie kiosks this past weekend (they just don’t seem to understand we have Netflix for a reason). Since she got two movies for the price of one, my wife decided to …
Cats and Dogs (2001)
People in general are allergic to animals. This scientist is busy creating a cure for dog allergies and while that is going on, a deeper viler plot is underway. The cats are planning to take over the world, their plan involves the same serum that is being created to …
Eastern Promises
I am reviewing the movie, Eastern Promises, starring Viggo Mortinsen. So there is this woman. Her name is Anna. She is a nurse. She lives with her mother and uncle. Awhile ago, she had a miscarriage. As a nurse, she comes into contact with a young …
Little Monsters (1989 flim)
In 1989, a movie directed by Richard Greenberg came out called “Little Monsters”. Though I had not seen the movie until many years later, I still hold it as a nostalgic movie from my childhood that left me feeling inspired to open my imagination to the world around me. …
17 Again movie
I just watched 17 again a couple of days back. 17 Again is about a high school basketball superstar Mike O’Donnell played by Zac Efron (teen) and Mattew Perry (adult) whose future did not quite turn out the way he wanted to. He forsake a college scholarship for the …
The Family, movie (2013)
Have you ever think what life is like for gangsters in the witness protection program? Movies have featured such characters more than once, but other than a bit of snippet at the end of Martin Scorsese’s cult film Goodfellas, I can’t think of any movies that could tell you more …
Movie: Clash of the Titans (2010)
Synopsis: Demi-God Persius must go on a quest to figure out how to kill the Kraken before it is unleashed on Argos after the city’s citizens declare war on the Gods.
What I liked about this movie: I loved the original film that came out in the 80s and this …
Stranger Than Fiction (R, 1999)
This quirky little movie stars one of my favorite actresses, Natasha Gregson Wagner. There is something insipid and coy about the roles she tends to play. And her stuffy, rebellious role of “Violet” in this movie is no different. This film is sort of a cat …
Focus - Romantic Comedy Movie (2015)
‘Focus’ is a romantic comedy with lots of twists and turns that make the movie enjoyable to watch. Starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, this movie at times plays out like an action film or thriller and definitely had my attention throughout. The screenplay could’ve been executed a little better …
The Recruit (2003)
I have made some harsh statements as it relates to the acting prowess of Colin Farrell and for that I must say LOL, I got you didn’t I? Even though this movie was a lot better than most of his movies, and he managed to show that he can …
The Glass House Movie
This movie had a really nice title, and I thought it had something to do with the mansion that’s all made of glass and as I expected it was, and the owners here in the movie are actually Mr. Terry (Stellan Skarsgård) and Erin Glass (Diane Lane) who are …
Movie Necessary Roughness
I haven’t seen the movie Necessary Roughness in years but finally had a chance to watch it again today. It isn’t as good as I remember it being, but it is still decent.
The movie, which is about a college team that loses all of its players due to NCAA …
The International film
This is the latest film that I watched. This movie is really a masterpiece and will be remembered for the stunning performance by Clive Owen and the untouched script.
The movie is mainly based on the world of international crimes and how international banks helped them. I never thought that …
Bruno
If you liked Sacha Baron Cohen’s most famous movie, Borat, you will find Bruno funny. Yes, this latest controversial and extremely politically incorrect comedy is over-the-top in the poor taste department. I do admit to finding the reactions of the people he encounters to be hilarious, and in …
A Beautiful Mind (drama movie)
I’ve always heard good things about the movie “A Beautiful Mind” over the years, but I never actually got a chance to see it until recently. My expectations were very high before seeing it, and to be completely honest there was nothing about it that I wasn’t satisfied with. I …
Homeward Bound The Incredible Journey
Homeward Bound The Incredible Journey is an enchanting movie about two dogs and one cat. It all starts when their loving family has to go on a trip. They are forced to leave their animals with a friend miles away from home. After awhile the animals get worried …
