“Tearjerker.” That’s how many people describe the movie adaptation of the popular novel by Nicholas Sparks, featuring pop princess Mandy Moore and TV cutie Shane West.
But unlike the novel version that is set in the 1950’s, the movie version was set in a more recent time of 1998, probably …

A Bronx Tale with Chazz Palminteri, Robert De Niro, and Lillo Brancato.
Great casting Put a bunch of Italians in roles of Italians in New York with their distinct accents and you pretty much are assured of getting a winner movie. Palminteri …

Admittedly, I am no huge fan of the comic book movie genre, usually, I find the over-the-top performances and plots a bit too much to swallow. However, I can honestly say that I quite enjoyed Iron Man. I like that the movie was not made to specifically pander to …

I watched this movie because I like David Boreanaz and have enjoyed watching him in the tv shows Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. He is a fine actor who seems to only be able to do drama and horror but he does a good job. Anyone …

I am reviewing the movie, The Odd Couple, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. There are two movies in this series, and this is the first one. The second one is, naturally, called The Odd Couple 2. In The Odd Couple, we are first introduced to …

It wouldn’t sound too strange to say that The Wolf of Wall Street is in fact an adaptation of the classic 70s song Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, perhaps without the —˜Rock and Roll’. Scorsese’s latest 3 hour film is an indulgent look at the life of Jordan …

Rob Zombie returns with the follow up to his remake of the seminal slasher film. Last time, he made a terrible job of the remake and this time round he makes an even crappier job with its sequel. Well, that isn’t really fair. The awful flashback sequences from the …

21, when i heard the name of this movie, I was a little confused as about what this movie would be about? But when I watched it I thought it was worth taking this risk. The movie starts like one boy who is looking to get in to …

I remember first seeing the trailers for “Legally Blonde” when the movie came out in 2001; they promised some laughs, but overall, I wasn’t impressed and did not go to see the movie. Elle, the main character, seemed too “girly” for me: a fashion-freak blonde wearing pink & high …

Abalone Moon is an excellent example of a literary e-zine. The URL address is http://www.abalonemoon.com and I thoroughly examined this e-zine on the 16th of April. As stated by Abalone Moon, they publish “poetry, interviews, prose, essays, reviews, photography and visual art.” It also states a central theme. …

All five movies it says on the box, well as this box set was released in 2006, this is no longer quite true because to my knowledge there is at least one more Beethoven movie to date.
Having said that Beethoven movies are really good fun and easy viewing for …

“The Changeling,” starring the brilliant George C. Scott, is a ghost story filmed in the 1980s, and the scariest one despite its age. Unlike many contemporary horror movies that rely on blood and gore, “The Changeling” uses more subtle ways, which work much better. The creators of this movie …

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 …

While I thought the first Cheaper by the Dozen movie was lame, I did not think that a sequel to it could possibly be just plain silly and a waste of money that could have been put to proper use elsewhere. This time the movie was not just lame, …

Ian and Axl Rotten had a heck of a blood feud in ECW many years ago and prior to that they were a heck of a tag team. While wrestling fans have enjoyed their battles for years and have seen them repeatedly, they will all get something new …

“Halloween II” picks up right after the very first film. While Dr. Loomis tries to warn …

I was babysitting my niece and nephew and they wanted to watch the movie. When I popped the DVD in, I was prepared to get bored. I thought what could they possibly cook up with penguins as characters? But then my interest got stirred up by the opening number. …

Spanglish is a very boring movie and it completely disappointed me in every which way. Adam Sandler is a good actor, though his brilliance in acting hasn’t been noticed at the beginning of his career. He gave us many good films like Big Daddy, Punch Drunk Love and many …

I love suspense and horror, and I adore Julie Christie. What a gorgeous actress she was! If you also enjoy this combination, you must watch Don’t Look Now. Don’t Look Now is an older film, from the 1970s, but it will not disappoint you. Julie Christie plays Laura, and …

If your a fan of the x-men series this movie may leave you entertained and a bit disappointed.
Hugh Jackman makes a great Wolverine. His character delivery is very similar to the original 3 movies. I thought his preform ace was good and right on where it needed to be. …

This is the story of a group of children whose families face home foreclosure who stumble across a map that allegedly leads to treasure that might be able to save their way of life, that in turns turned into them uncovering a criminal family plot, that in turns take …

Truman with Jim Carrey and Ed Harris.
This was a different kind of movie that had me expecting the slapstick humor of which Jim Carrey built his career, but I was sadly disappointed.
There are few effective comedic actors in the industry and Carrey is one of them. …

Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Rust Never Sleeps is a great, classic movie for all lovers of rock and roll. I adore Neil Young and consider him to be one of the greatest musicians ever. Neil Young’s guitar sound is like no other, as is his voice. Rust Never …

A movie about the man or men responsible for perfecting and performing the first open heart surgery on a human being, a baby in fact, the blue baby of the period in which this true story is based. This movie shows the attempts by man to properly conduct the …

School of Rock is one the funniest if not the funniest movie I’ve ever watched. Directed by Richard Linklater, it’s the story of Dewey Finn (Jack Black), a down on his luck rock star who gets kicked out of his own band and about to get kicked out of …

Once again, I have to admit, I’m becoming more and more impressed with Mandy Moore whenever I see her in a movie. And, this time it was on Lifetime.
Her film How to Deal is actually an interesting look into the mind of a teenager. She comes from a divorced …

If you have watched this movie, you would agree with me that this is so much different than all other films produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Mulan takes its art and story cues directly from Chinese mythology and successfully blends them with Disney elements. Mulan is a loveable, spirited …

When I signed up to Netflix we got the three movie at a time plan. When we looked through the options for movies when we discovered that they had The Wall by Pink Floyd which is my husband’s favorite of all time. So we got it for him to …

I rented this because I am a huge Lili Taylor fan. She has something that other actresses don’t have which is guts. She’s not conventionally pretty, but always manages to look so in her films. At any rate, this story is about a housewife …

Director Jason Reitman, in his third feature (after “Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking”) delivers “Up in the Air,” a more heartfelt and poignant effort than either of its predecessors-stylized in a similar way, but much more honest in its pathos-tinged comedy. It works better for me story-wise because …

In the previous movie, in the ending of it that is, it showed a new strain of the alien creature as it adapted the predator gene. Now, in this movie, the creatures are once again back on earth, there usual playground, and they are after each other with us …

The 2005 film, Sin City, is based on the graphic novels of Frank Miller who also co-directed along with Robert Rodriguez. I can imagine that anyone who is a fan of such graphic novels will appreciate this film a lot more than I did, although I did find …

Lately, whenever you see Eddie Murphy in a movie, it is a family film. And, while movies like Dr. Doolittle and the Nutty Professor were good, they weren�t nearly as good as his earlier movies.
I finally got a chance to watch one of those movies this weekend; 48 Hours. …

This movie has one of the best opening 30 minutes ever. It takes you for the ride of your life in a realistic portrayal of what D-Day was actually like at the height of WWII. The brutalness and trueness of this first battle can’t help but hook …

Waking Up in Reno is a quirky movie that was released in 2002 after a long and oft-postponed opening. This is another movie that surprised me with all the difficulties of being released. It had a stellar cast, but for some reason, there were an abundance of …

Killer Diller, a 1948 movie doesn’t really feel like a movie. What it feels more like is a cavalcade of talent, African Americans who could really put on a show. Having never seen this before, I was amazed by the show and pretty much enjoyed it all.
Again, …

This movie is mainly about boxing; I do not particularly like boxing, but I do like this movie, very much. While bloody fighting scenes still made me cringe, I was completely blown away by the beautiful family relationship of the main character, Jim (a boxer nicknamed Cinderella Man). Jim …

When I saw the preview of this movie…it looked interesting, when I saw the movie…it was awesome, when I decided to buy this movie, it was a great idea. How often do you see your own future and be horrified by it, plus have the courage to make it …

This is it. The starting of the legend. I had briefly heard the name of Harry Potter, ut paid no attention to it. That is, until I saw this movie. After that, I was hooked. On the movie, the characters, the world of Harry Potter.
I think this first movie …

When this movie came out in 1997, I had never even heard of the small child that was being portrayed in the film. I was informed by my mother that the movie was based on the 1956 movie about the return of the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna. It …

It bothers me how bad Halloween II is. Rob Zombie took a good thing he had going with his first movie and just decided to messed it all up. At times the movie felt like an action flick with horror elements. Calling this a straight-up horror movie is a …

After I was more or less disappointed by the few movies that were about the same story (The A-Team , Go, The Expendables), I awaited anxiously as an incorrigible fan again to be cheated by the pensioners from Red . Especially since I’m always tempted to give a chance …

I don’t usually like war movies, but sometimes I watch them mostly because my mother likes them. That was how I watched the movie Defiance. At first, I thought it was going to be very boring too like many of the other war films I’ve seen with the graphic …

I Want To Live is a movie about a woman who ends up being in the right place at the wrong time. Barbara Graham was a real person and I Want To Live is her story. Susan Haywood does a fine performance as Barbara Graham. Barbara works with a …

The story of Cinderella has been cloned so many times, successfully and not. This 2004 attempt offers a contemporary, high school version set in California. For Cinderella, we have Sam, who is a high school girl sneered at by the popular crowd and overworked by her evil step …

This sequel to the block buster original simply called ‘Dirty Dancing’ is basically the same movie but instead of it being staged in the United States of America, it was staged in Cuba. A young girl from a well off family goes to a retreat and falls for the …

Perhaps most renowned for the fact that Brandon Lee (yes, the son of kung fu legend Bruce Lee) died during filming under similar circumstances as his father did twenty years earlier. The Crow is originally a comic book series and tells the story of a man seeing his wife …
