Closing the Ring
I have watched Closing the Ring and it stars the very beautiful Mischa Barton and the handsome Christopher Plummer. Story is set roughly around the early 1900’s and Mischa’s character falls in love with this guy and they have a marriage that is considered secret and sacred to them. …
You, Me, and Dupree
I just recently watched You, Me, and Dupree with Owen Wilson, Matt Dillon, and Katie Holmes. I must say I was very impressed. I am a huge fan of Owen Wilson to begin with. I must say though this was one of his finest performances. …
“Everbody’s Fine” (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “Everybody’s Fine” is not only filled with a great cast of actors and actresses that work well with one another and compliment each other’s characters, but was a heartwarming story that made for a great movie to enjoy.
This movie is about a widowed man (Robert …

Halloween II (2009) Feature Film
Halloween II is the newest remake of the Halloween movies by Rob Zombie. It is a bit hard to follow if you are a fan of the series. This is the sequel to the first remake of Halloween made by Rob Zombie and it makes sense …
The Zombie Diaries
Much in the vein of Romero’s Diary of the Dead, The Zombie Diaries once again utilizes the hand held approach to movie making. However this movie doesn’t have the polished finish of Romero’s effort, with only a meagre budget behind it and a cast and crew of mostly unknowns. …
Code Name: The Cleaner
These kind of movies, when done well, are excellent movies to see. When done poorly, they are a disaster. There is no middle ground with these kind of movies. With Code Name: The Cleaner, we have a fast-paced, twisting plot that kept me guessing around every corner, as Cedric …
The Hot Spot movie
The Hot Spot is an ultra cool movie about a man who comes to town. When this man comes to town, everything that was static becomes shaken up. Don Johnson plays Harry and while I am not a Don Johnson fan (at all!) , I do like him in …
Love, Lies And Murder
Love, Lies And Murder is based on the true story of Cinnamon Brown. Cinnamon kills her stepmother and goes to juvenile jail for the murder. The real story, however, is that Cinnamon is coerced by her father, David, to kill Linda. It is such a heartbreaking tale because when …
The Movie 30 Days of Night
My sister is one of those people that adores scary vampire movies. I cannot necessarily say that I am in agreement with her, but every once in awhile I will go and see movies like this with her. This movie was one that she desperately wanted to see …
Hot Fuzz (2007 Film)
If you have enjoyed the guys from “Shawn of the Dead” then you will also enjoy this new film starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in the 2007 film “Hot Fuzz”. This film was hilarious and very entertaining to watch, with the British humor and some explicit death scenes, …
Happy Feet Movie
We found a copy of the Happy Feet movie at a bookstore here and snapped it up. We bought it because we are animation movie fans especially movies made by Pixar. My hubby and I expected this movie to be good. It started out Okay. There was a penguin …
Secret Window
Secret Window is a great movie. Stephen King did a great job of writing the story for this film. I also think the music as also very well done, and I really did enjoy watching the movie a lot. I think this is one of the best films made …
Music and Lyrics
For people who grew up in the 80’s, much of the subtle humor in the recent movie, “Music and Lyrics” is not as subtle as it is obvious and in your face. From the incredibly cheesy music videos, to the fanatical gyrations of a has-been, this movie made me …
Love & Friendship (2016 Period Comedy Film)
Period dramas are not really my cup of tea although I must admit the fact that I love Downton Abbey to death. I was in a depressed mode when the final episode aired this time last year because it was so sad to watch a whole bunch of characters I’ve …
Movie 21
This movie is a story about some highly educated and intelligent college kids from MIT that decide to take on the blackjack tables in Vegas using there mathematical skills along with dedication and hard work! The great appeal for me in this movie is the fact this really happened …

My children love Happy Feet. They watched it so much it stopped working so I had to buy them a new one. My son really loves the extra features where they teach the children how to tap dance, my son is only one years old but its …
Contraband (2012 Movie)
With so many movie trailers exploiting all their best parts, it’s rare that a movie is better than I expected from the trailer; this is the case with Contraband. I expected a fast-paced, “Gone in 60 Seconds”-style movie, and while it delivers that, it delivers a lot more.
There are …
Ghost Rider
Somewhere down the line, Hollywood thought Nick Cage would make a good action star. I’m sorry, but that logic is flawed and the movie Ghost Rider proves it.
Overall, Ghost Rider is a good film; or, at very least, a unique one. Cage plays a stuntman who makes a deal …
Gary Busey
I always watch movies and I have many actors to appreciate each time.
Most people would express their admiration to actors who are also admired by many and usually renowned worldwide. But I would like to let people know that I appreciate Mr. Gary Busey who played the role …
Art Of Revenge
Art Of Revenge is a Lifetime movie that starts off with a young, married couple who seems to have it all. Or at least that is what the movie producers want you to think. Art of Revenge started off, as I perceived the movie, with a whining wife and …
Now You See Me 2 (2016 Film)
This year we have been blessed with unnecessary sequels, and if you think that the “expansion” of the magic-filled world of the first Now You See Me Film would offer something different, then you are very wrong.
There’s also a reason why it holds a fairly small rating in critics-consensus websites …
Juno
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, Juno. Anyone who has seen this knows what a fantastic movie it is. So it’s about a sixteen-year-old girl named Juno who gets pregnant by her best friend, Paul Bleaker. Juno decides to give her baby up for adoption, and comes …
Fracture (movie)
One thing that really impresses me about Anthony Hopkins is how he can play a criminal mastermind and yet play it to the point you actually have to be impressed with him.
In the movie Fracture, he plays a man who shoots his wife, is captured minutes later and confesses. …
Public Enemies (starring Johnny Depp)
In a stress world, do we still want to find money when we know that we are suffering in health like say, early signs of hypertension, nerve anxiety and stuff like that? It would be hazardous in the long run if we don’t rest well. Why are there …
Happy People: A Year in the Taiga - Documentary
Werner Herzog is behind the documentary Happy People: A Year in the Taiga. The film is one of Herzog’s latest documentaries. Like most documentaries, the scenes in the documentary are constructed around other well-received footage. Happy People: A Year in the Taiga is supplied …
A Woman Under the Influence
I saw this movie going on some time ago on a certain channel although I cannot remember exactly which one. I hesitated to watch it at the time too since I realised that the movie was actually a movie from the seventies and I tend not to like most …
Drop Dead Sexy
“Drop Dead Sexy” is the movie where the actor Jason Lee shows off a strange hairstyle medium long hair all glued together with gel. The hairdresser on the set of this movie didn’t go through a lot of trouble to make his hair style! I can imagine …

Transformers - The Movie
I grew up with Transformers. I owned Optimus Prime, watched the cartoons, knew the theme song. So there was both great anticipation and a small amount of dread when I heard that Michael Bay was producing a live action, CGI filled Transformers movie. The anticipation came …
Sense and Sensibility Movie
Sense and Sensibility, 1995, starring Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson is a very good adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic. When their father dies, the Dashwood family is left with very little means to live on. The house and everything in it is inherited by Mr. Dashwood’s son John from …

Well the other night he …

One for the Money (movie)
A couple years ago before one of my relatives died, she recommended that I read the Janet Evanovich novel “One for the Money” as she claimed that I would enjoy it. I was hesitant at first since at the time I was more of a horror fan and we …

The Ocean’s Trilogy, 3 caper comedies films by Steven Soderbergh
There seems to be a trend happening in Hi-Def releases. I guess it’s more to entice people to buy movies they already own, but I’ve noticed that studios are releasing Trilogies bundled with very little added special content. Yeah, I guess they’ve been doing this with plain old DVD. …
Interstellar, movie
As a big fan of science fiction with cosmic themes, I decided to watch Interstellar despite the busy exam period. In the end, the movie absolutely worth the ticket price. If you are also a big fan of science fiction, do not read my review anymore and go watch …

A Clockwork Orange (movie)
Does anyone really get the movie, A Clockwork Orange? I know that I don’t! I have tried to understand if A Clockwork Orange is about more than just what you see, sort of like is there a subplot that I should be understanding, but I come up with the …
Ring Out Your Dead movie
I am reviewing the mystery movie, Ring Out Your Dead, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This movie was made in 2004, was produced by Brian True-May, directed by Sarah Hellings, and written by Christopher Russell.
In this murder mystery, the church bells tell all. The movie starts with a …
Into The Wild
Into the Wild is both touching and inspiring. I guess one of the things I remembered most was that it was based on a true story. That makes me feel a bit sorry for the parents, as I have five wonderful children of my own. I can understand how …
Mr. Imperium movie
Mr. Imperium from 1951 was not a movie that I enjoyed overall. I just didn’t like much of it, including the ending, which I found to be depressing. Those who have read many of my movie and TV reviews will know that I prefer happy endings and …
Love Affair movie
This 1939 film called Love Affair is considered a classic romantic piece, and it’s beloved by a lot of people, but I’m not really one of them. I just have so many moralistic problems with the piece in various forms. Part of it is the lack of …
Movies Unlimited
Back in the early 1990’s my sister and I had a resurgence of our love for the music group Abba. For years we had heard their music and loved it but this was such a resurgence that we were practically eating, drinking and sleeping the group. Part of our …
Drillbit Taylor
I received this in the mail today from netflix, I got a free month of netflix so I decided to try it out.
I wanted to watch it so that I can send it back in the morning. At first the movie was boring and not funny at all. …
Satan’s Playground
If you ever want to spend 90 minutes of your life feeling like you are wasting your time, you should watch the movie Satan’s Playground.

The movie was one of the …
