Maid in Manhattan (2002)
I love Jennifer Lopez, and this movie that she atsr in alongside of of hollywoods most eligible leading men makes her shine brighter than she can ever shine while doing the singing thing. As an actress, I have more love for her than with her singing, because to me, …
Home Alone 4-movie
I recently watched a sequal to the home alone franchise.The first two home alone movies starred Macauly Culkin.After that,the rest of the home alone movies didnt star macauly and deteriorated in quality.Hoem Alone 4 is the worst of the them.The acting in it is pertty bad.The lead child is …
Death Race 2 movie
As any fan of Jason Statham I was reluctant to part 2 of the movie Death Race. I really do not understand why they felt the need to make another film on this theme. Well I have to say that I really liked Death Race 2 and I will …
Fright Night (2011 Movie)
As much as I hate Hollywood’s love affair with vampires and remakes, I love this movie way better than the original. I didn’t actually see the original Fright Night until a month before the new one came out, and I was disappointed (probably because it was about 20 years …
Game Plan movie
Even though I do think he’s a bit overrated, I’ve always liked watching former pro wrestler The Rock in movies.
While his newest movie, Game Plan is far from being unique, I will admit he pulled it off.
The Rock plays a professional football quarterback who finds out he has …
Glory movie
I was flipping channels the other day and came across the movie Glory. I’m not normally a person who watches war movies but this is definitely one of my favorites.
Let’s face it, it’s Matthew Broderick in an actually serious role as a civil war colonel in charge of an …
Terminator Salvation
I recently rented Terminator Salvation in the hopes of a pretty engaging action movie with cool special effects and a little bit of good acting thrown in for good measure. I’ve enjoyed previous Terminator flicks and I figured this one couldn’t be too bad given the cast and …
Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor is a Bollywood actor, grand-daughter of legendary showman Raj Kapoor. She hails from the first family of Bollywood, where everyone from her great grandfather to her sister, have been actors in the Hindi Film Industry.

Iron Man is based on the famous comic book about a man named Tony Stark, who is both a billionare playboy, and a genius …
The Bridges of Madison County
The Bridges of Madison County with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep.
I remember the first time I saw this movie. I felt mislead by the tough guy of all times, Clint Eastwood. How could he betray me by acting out a love story with …
Anchor Man The Legend of Ron Burgundy
I have to say Anchor Man is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. I think this movie was very good and the main star Will Ferrel did a awesome job in the film. Will Ferrel played the part of Ron Burgandy and was very …
Scooby Doo Abracadabra Doo Movie
I finally gave in and let my daughter rent the movie Scooby Doo Abracadabra Doo. I like the cartoon series, but I figured this movie would be a lot like some of the newer ones and get away from the whole monster is really someone in disguise plot.
However, this …
Minority Report (2002)
Minority Report (2002) is a science-fiction film from director Steven Spielberg and is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for violence, brief language, some sexuality and drug content.
In the year 2054, murder in Washington D.C. has been eliminated thanks to Precrime, a program that uses the preminitions of three psychics, …
Cape Fear
I think Robert De Niro did a great job in the movie Cape Fear. I really like Cape Fear because it’s a different type of horror. This movie is not about ghosts or monsters, but it is instead about a prison inmate named Max that wants revenge. He was sent …
Crazy Heart (Movie)
Any movies that receive Academy Award nominations tend to increase my expectations on what to expect when I finally do see them (I usually wait until they come out on DVD, rather than go to a theatre). So Crazy Heart was right up there with the other Best Picture …
Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is a rather nice but strange movie. The idea of a magical store is really awesome and in this movie, Dustin Hoffman stars together along with Natalie Portman and with a little help from the cute boy, Zach Mills.
Natalie’s character is the favorite of Dustin …
Fun with Dick and Jane
I must admit that I am not a great fan of Jim Carrey’s movie. I don’t enjoy watching some two hour movie with a guy trying to make a series of funny faces, however in this movie Jim Carrey managed to tone down this image and gave an excellent …
Horror Express movie
I was digging through our movie cabinet a couple days ago (trying to find my daughter’s missing Nintendo DS) when I came across the movie Horror Express.
To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t even remember picking up this movie. I think my wife bought it for me from …
The West Wing Final Season
This was an amazing show, I think the scriptwriter’s were fantastic for the entire seven seasons of the show. The West Wing was a show created by the amazing Aaron Sorkin, based on the President and his staff. The President and First Lady were played …
Movie: 9 to 5
I finally got a chance to relax about 9 last night, after putting both kids to bed and feeding the cat. Since my wife (who somehow manages to get out of helping me at night) was already in bed, I figured I would try to find a movie or …
Happy Feet Movie
I’ve watched Happy Feet for about three times. It’s a fine movie, nothing special to me. Although lots of my friends think it’s a very funny movie. I can’t find anything so funny in the movie though.
It’s probably good for children, I don’t know, I can’t …
Calendar Girls
This story is awesome and it has a wonderful cast, including one of the lead, Helen Mirren. Someway or another, I think this movie was made close to the truth or rather, something inspirational of the real story and the title suits really.
The story is funny and I love …
The Exorcist, movie
I still find the “Exorcist” scary, and it won’t matter how old I get, how many times I see it, or who I’m with when I watch it, It will always petrify me. The story holds up well among similar films, and time has been kind to the movie …
Rush (biographical sports drama movie)
While I did see the trailer for the movie Rush a few times, it just didn’t even appear on my radar, since I’ve stopped paying attention to sports drama films since the nineteen nineties. There’s also the fact that I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the actor Chris …
Movie I’m Not There
Bob Dylan is hard to explain in a few words, consequently why not have six unlike people portray him in the movie “I’m Not There”. This is what writer director Todd Haynes made. You might recognize his movie Far From Heaven starring Julianne Moore. The characters played through the …
The Hills Have Eyes Movie
I have seen The Hills Have Eyes, both the original and the remake. After watching the original, it made me wonder why anyone would decide to remake it. Not because the movie is so great, but because it isn’t very good. Going into the remake, I didn’t think I …
Alice in Wonderland (2010 Film)
Everyone is familiar with the Disney cartoon of “Alice in Wonderland”, however, many might wonder what happened to Alice after she returned from Wonderland. In the modern take of Alice, viewers can find out in the 2010 film “Alice in Wonderland”. While this film has the same name as …
The Happening
When I saw previews to the movie The Happening, I suspected it would be a film that would start out scary but would have a twist that would manage to ruin it.
After watching it last night, I found I was 100 percent correct.
While I liked the idea of a …
Left Behind movie
Left Behind is a great set/series of movies. The Left Behind movies detail what it will be like once Jesus Christ returns to collect His chosen people. This movie details what happens to those left behind. I have read all of the Left Behind books but I have to …
Desperate Hours Remake (1990)
I’m not a big fan of remakes of movies. I call them “removies”. I find that removies are rarely as good as the original movie. In part this is because the movies that are usually redone are movies that were excellent movies to begin with. Nobody tries to …
Happy Feet
When this came out into cinemas, my family and I were on vacation so we weren’t able to watch it on the big screen. I’ve been hearing a lot of wonderful feedback from other moms about this movie and how their children loved it. I felt sorry for my …
A Few Good Men
A few Good men is a thrilling movie released in 1992 and directed by Rob Reiner. It is one of those movies that once you get to watch it you would definitely want to get a copy for your collection. The main story is about a weakly in the …
Man in the Iron Mask
In the late ninteen nineties the young actor Leonardo DiCaprio was one of the most popular actors in Hollywood. This was because not only was his acting good, but his movies were usually very interesting and he was a very handsome young man. Thus when the movie “Man in …
Something To Talk About (movie)
Something To Talk About is a movie about relationships. And if you love horses, you will love the equestrian action in this film! Julia Roberts is Grace, a bored and well to do housewife who works at her family’s horse ranch. She and her husband, Eddie (Dennis Quaid), have …
Fun With Dick & Jane
I didn’t know what to think when I rented Fun With Dick & Jane. I usually like Jim Carrey movies but I wasn’t sure if this one would be very good or not. What I found was, while it was a funny movie, it was one I could relate …
The Thrill of It All movie
This is another of my very top favorite Doris Day films, and it co-stars James Garner. These two make a great film pair, and I wish they’d done more than this movie and Move Over, Darling.
In this flick, Day stars as Beverly Boyer, happy housewife and mother. …
X-Men (Movie)
As a fan of the comics and early morning animated show, I always felt this movie was a long time coming. Thankfully, someone finally saw fit to bring Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops and the rest to the big screen and under the direction of Bryan Singer; the X-Men were finally …
Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry met Lloyd (2003)
If you have never seen the original movie name Dumb and Dumber starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, then you are going to be in for a treat as this movie is basically a prequel to that movie. This story tells the teenaged tale of how the two friends …
The Man in the Iron Mask
“The Man in the Iron Mask” comes with a lot of luggage for Leonardo diCaprio. The actor was involved in this movie project after he was denied the pleasure of being nominated for an Oscar for his interpretation of Jack in “The Titanic”. His reaction was deemed immature by …
Torture
Torture was directed by Nolan H. Lebovitz. It stars Cole Hauser, Laurence Fishburne, and James Cromwell. It came out on video in 2008. It is a crime and suspense movie.
The plot is about an undercover FBI agent (Cole Hauser) and what he is forced to do in the line …
Paranormal Activity
Before we watched this movie, my husband told me that this is a true story and the actors were the real person behind it. I didn’t checked it at that time if it were true. Then we watched the movie and somehow, I felt that some of the scenes …
Movie: “Prince of Egypt” (1998)
The Dreamworks masterpiece “Prince of Egypt” is one of the most beautiful and touching animated films of all time. It is a musical with stirring songs written by Stephen Schwartz; and it features an all-star cast of voices, including Val Kilmer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, and Patrick …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Rising Malevolence
I’ve been watching Star Wars for as long as I can remember, but I’ve never been a fan of prequels. The problem is that I know where the story is going.
Star Wars is worse than most, and the clone wars even more so. I know how General Grievous dies, …
The Saint (1997 movie)
Val Kilmer takes on the multi-characters of a secret agent spy/thief. The focus is cold fusion as a means of generating heat for an entire nation. On scientist, character play by the ever beautiful and stunning Elisabeth Shue, tries to put the pieces together for the revolutionary breakthrough of …
“Devil” Feature Film
This movie did what I love for suspense and horror films to do, it kept me guessing. I watch a lot of horror and while i was able to guess who the killer was based on how these movies work out it did make me second guess myself, …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
I assumed that Alice in Wonderland would be very interesting because Tim Burton was a part of it. I thought the visuals would be wonderful and the story a bit on the darker side. I never went to see the movie in the theaters, but already I was hearing …
Vantage Point
Last Sunday night, my wife and I went out to the local theater to see the new movie Vantage Point. Except for the fact that we had to sit in one of the front rows n the very end, the experience was definitely a pleasureable one.
The …
Two Came Back (1997 Film)
The 1997 Lifetime TV Movie, “Two Came Back” was a large disappointment. Starring a young Melissa Joan Hart and Jonathan Brandis, this film was a serious flop and didn’t do much to capture the audience’s attention at all. While Melissa Joan Hart has been a actress that I have …
3:10 to Yuma
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, 3:10 to Yuma, starring Russel Crowe and Christian Bale. Crowe plays Arizona outlaw Benjamin Wade, a no nonsense, dangerous criminal. While dangerous, the man is also charming and likable. Then we meet Dan Evans, played by Christian Bale. He’s a family man, dedicated, …
