Jane Eyre,1996 Movie
Franco Zeffireli’s 1996 version of Jane Eyre would have been very good had he cast a different actor for Mr. Rochester. Don’t get me wrong, William Hurt who plays Rochester in this movie is a good actor, and he did a good job - but he just doesn’t *look* …

Starsky And Hutch movie
Starsky and Hutch is a remake of the television series by the same name that was highly popular in the 1970s. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson star in this hilarious movie. Now, I do not usually watch movies like this, because they are just the kind of comedies I …

The Woman Hunter movie
Post I Dream of Jeannie, Barbara Eden took the movie circuit with this made for TV number called The Woman Hunter. Eden is lovely. She always has been, and that’s one of the best parts of watching this film. Eden and location shooting in Acapulco are …
300: Rise of an Empire, movie
My Husband and I liked and own the first 300 movie (called The 300). For those who have never seen it, it tells the tale of the battle of 300 lone Spartan soldiers against a huge army and the powerful Xerxes. We watch the original 300 fairly frequently and …
Movie Rundown
The Rock and Sean William Scott play in this movie as the two main characters. They are really good together in this movie, very funny together also. There were two parts in the movie that I thought were really funny. The rest of the movie was also funny but …
The Ice Harvest
“The Ice Harvest” is a black comedy with the actor, John Cusack in top form. What I found interesting about this movie is that it is based during the Christmas season but there is not a lot of Christmas spirit, unless one is referring to alcohol.
The story of this …
Hungry Ghosts (episode, “A Haunting”) DVD
The Discovery Channel has presented a program called “A Haunting,” in which real people present their real-life ghost stories. These stories are very intriguing, and fairly scary - that is, if you believe in that sort of thing. I happen to believe in many elements …
Identity
You want a weird movie? Watch Identity. Talk about a movie that will make you think! The cast is full of actors you already know such as John Cusak (Ed), Rebecca DeMornay (Caroline) and Ray Liotta (Rhodes). Everyone in the movie, all the characters, are out in the desert. …
The Mayor of Casterbridge
The Mayor of Casterbridge with Alan Bates has impressed me. It is a story of a man who gets drunk and sells his wife and baby daughter to a stranger. Twenty years later, the wife, Susan, returns. It turns out that she has been a faithful wife to the …
An American Werewolf in London movie
American Werewolf in London is one of my all time favorite films for many reasons. First of all, it is a glossy horror flick that is actually set in recognizable areas of London, although the scenes supposedly on the Yorkshire moors in the beginning were actually filmed in …
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Ok, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street was an interesting movie with an interesting premise. Never seen the second so I can’t comment on it, but the third one is just, well, silly.
The plot is essentially the same, except now there are more kids involved. And …
Lakeview Terrace movie
The movie Lakeview Terrace was an all around great movie. The idea of an African American police officer being against an interracial couple is a very unusual idea, but it is possible which makes the movie very believable. Samuel L. Jackson hit another home run with this edge of …
Casablanca movie
Of all the black and white films, this one is the best. In fact, many people consider Casablanca the best film of all time, and for a good reason. I myself can agree to this. The dialogue alone is so crisp, and no doubt about it, …
Murder by Numbers (2002)
I rented this movie mostly because of Sandra Bullock, she is always good. She was good here as well, although the character she plays, a homicide detective Cassie Mayweather, is somewhat unlikable. Cassie’s personality appears to have been permanently damaged by a brutal attack in the past, one that …
The Hurt Locker (2009 film)
The Hurt Locker is a film that I expected with great interest not only because of the quantity of praise given to it but also because it was the first film in a long while that was addressing the Iraq war. Kathryn Bigelow, world’s first female …
Did You Hear About the Morgans Movie (2010)
I had loved Sarah Jessica Parker in the Sex and the City series, tv and movie, so when I saw her in another movie Did You Hear About the Morgans, along with Hugh Grant, I thought this would be a fun movie since the two of them are really …
Moulin Rouge movie
I must admit that I was very much surprised by Moulin Rouge when I saw it. It’s not really my kind of movie, being an artsy, somewhat burlesque style of film, but I was so impressed with the singing talents of Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor that it …
The Movie Black Swan
Black Swan is a relatively new movie directed by Darren Aronofsky. The movie centers around the famous ballet ” Swan Lake”. This movie focuses on the production and around the character of Nina Sayers played by the famous and talented Natalie Portman. I have to say that upon seeing …

Slumdog Millionaire
There has been a lot of reviews about this famous movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ so why another review? Well I want to express the views of many Indians like me who dare to think different.
It is made by a British director Danny Boyle, so it may …
Death of a Ghost Hunter: movie
Death of a Goes Hunter is a low-budget horror movie. Like most low-budget horror movies, it suffers from some flaws. The acting is not that good, the camera work is sloppy, and the whole thing has an unprofessional feel. However, despite these flaws, I really enjoyed …
Twilight Movie
“Twilight” is a movie adapted from a famous novel “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer. I was recommended this movie by my sister and so I rented it’s DVD from a local DVD store to watch it on Sunday. I did not have high expectations from the movie.
Twilight is a romantic …

My mother really likes to tune into the Oprah show everyday so I purchased this DVD set for her for her birthday.
The DVD collection features highlights from 20 ears …
The Shawshank Redemption
To say it bluntly, this is my second favorite movie of all time (#1 is Raiders of the Lost Ark if you’re curious) and absolutely deserving of its current top spot on IMDB’s top 250 movies of all time. What is so great about this movie is that …

Thr3e movie
Have any of you heard that a movie is out based on Ted Dekker’s Christian novel “Thr3e”? I didn’t think so. For some reason, Christian movies aren’t advertised wide enough, and this new 2007 release by FoxFaith is no exception. Besides, it was only played in some theaters, and …

I am going to review a comedy-drama film called Over Her Dead Body.A man and a woman are about to be married but on the day of thier wedding,teh woman,named Kate gets killed by an angel ice sculpture she ordered for the wedding.After one year,her boyfriend,Henry refuses to get …
Notorious movie
Notorious, this was a great title for the movie biography of the rapper Notorious B.I.G. I saw the movie about a week ago, and am still amazed at what his life was like, true or not. Notorious means widely and unfavorably known, which is the epitome of Christopher Wallace’s …
Pineapple Express
Have you guys ever watched Pineapple Express before..? Well, I have and it is a nice comedy that I love watching pretty much. Don’t know why movies that star kind of dumb actors work really well. An example would be Jim Carey. In this case, the …
Sherlock Holmes (2010) Movie
When I watch the trailer the end of last year, I could’t wait for this movie to be released on the cinema on the neighborhood and I just got the chance to watch the movie yesterday. Eventually, this movie worth the wait.
I like the actors, and actually one of …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
With hollywood turning every comic book into a movie that they can find, quality has some how taken a back seat. I’m not sure why these hollywood mega moguls would sacrifice putting out a good movie. It’s not like they need the money afterall. But nonetheless, quality is put …
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 …
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 …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Once again, this game made into a movie takes the viewers on a wild ride through the waste land of the future that has managed to spawn zombie like creatures. The main character as you will see as you watch this movie as it takes us through a slight …
Van Helsing
Van Helsing was a movie that flopped at the box office for all the wrong reasons. A monster movie that combined the classical stories of Doctor Frankenstein, the Wolfman, Count Dracula, and Van Helsing, using plenty of CGI and nonstop action. Unfortunately, in 2004 CGI was still new and …
P.S. I love you movie
This was a really good movie. Although it made me cry a lot during the movie. Some of the previews made it look like a funny movie and although it had a couple funny parts in it, it was more sad than anything. I cried almost throughout the whole …
Wanted DVD
I was not familiar with Wanted. So when I and a friend of mine decided to watch it, I really had nothing to expect (except for a very hot Angelina Jolie, which is very obvious on the DVD cover).
The moment the movie started, I was instantly hooked. James McAvoy, …
Mr. fix it (2006) movie
Oh my God, this is one of the most stupid movies out there. I don’t even know how in the world can you make a movie that is so bad. And it is very surprising since the actors in the movie are absolutely amazing. The only scenario I can …
Pretty Persuasion (R, 2005)
I didn’t know what to think at first about this really quirky film. I knew that starring Evan Rachel Wood in the lead role, there would be something avante garde about the subject matter. IN this movie, she portrays a young high schooler named Kimberly, who ropes …
Syriana (2005)
“Syriana” is a 2005 movie from Warner Brothers suggested by former CIA agent Robert Baer’s book “See No Evil: The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA’s War on Terrorism.” The color movie runs for 126 minutes and was filmed in a variety of locations throughout the …
Executive Decision (1996)
The US president along with his aircraft Air Force One is hijacked by terrorists and the first family is in grave danger, coming to their rescue is none other than the great Steven Seagal, but as the plot would have it, and surprising to me with most other people …
The 40 Year Old Virgin movie
The 40 Year Old Virgin was surprisingly good. I thought it might be just a dumb comedy, but it was a comedy with heart and some intelligence. Steve Carrell plays the titular character without become a caricature. Sure he does some nerdy things like collect huge …
