I ended up watching a 1980s slasher flick called The House on Sorority Row last night. I didn’t expect it to be any good. But, it ended up being better than I thought it would be.
Basically, the film is the same as pretty much any other horror movie that …

I recently watched a movie on television that I have not seen in many years, and I completely remembered why I thought it was one of the best movies I had ever seen back then. Gangs of New York got quite a bit of flak for being extremely violent, …

A film by Alfonso Cuaron about a young girl who experiences a most tragic series of events. First she is sent away from her beloved father to a school. Later her father dies and the girl is heartbroken of course, but nothing in the world can take away the …

One of the truly beautiful and often overlooked classics of the 1950’s, MGM’s Lili is not only a great family film but one that speaks to the romantic in all of us.
Set in France, it features the growth of an innocent orphaned waif named Lili (played perfectly …

The film was absolutely fabulous. I was worried, I won’t lie, that Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) would not have the acting chops to do this movie given that he’s had so little screen time in the past. I was worried that the “please” on top of the …

A married couple, Tom and Sofia, are about to have a baby. They live in New York; Sofia is a lawyer, and Tom works at a restaurant, hoping to be soon promoted. When this happens, Sofia wants to quit her job and become a stay-at-home mom. Instead, Tom loses …

Blockbuster in Westford is a very good place to rent your movies at. I liked going to this particular blockbuster because of the neatness, size, customer service and the fact that the movie I always wanted to get was always in, no matter what.
When you pull into Blockbuster you …

I went to see this movie early June after hearing wonderful things about it. I had previously watched the Pixar’s other movie WALL-E and loved it, so I had great expectations. I figured Up would also have some kind of global message such respecting the environment in WALL-E; why …

Dwayne Johnson is hot. There is no doubt about it. And it gets even better seeing him star opposite a little girl star Madison Pettis. This is about a famous foot ball player who doesn’t know that he has a daughter, and the girl shows up on his doorstep. …

If you have ever wondered what it would be like to get your heart’s desire, then watch While You Were Sleeping. Just don’t expect your heart’s desire to look exactly how you thought it would.

A good year is a nice romantic comedy starring Russell Crowe in the lead role. Max is the name of the character played by Russell Crowe. In his childhood he comes to spend his holidays with his uncle at his vineyard. When he grows up he becomes an aggressive …

I absolutely adore Man of the House, which is a simple romantic comedy from 1995 which stars Chevy Chase, Farrah Fawcett, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who was probably the biggest child star of the 90’s, at least on television. In this film, Thomas plays Ben Archer, whose father …

Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …

This Patrick Swayze movie is one of my very favorites. Patrick is wonderful in the role of Jack Charles where, for the first time, he plays a father. The problem with the marketing of the movie, though, is that people misunderstood the title and thought the movie …

I was a bit skeptical when Friday the 13th the 09 version was coming out. People didn’t hear much about it. And the cast was practically unheard of, which was a worry for all the fans of the series.
This movie is not as bad as I thought it was …

Heavy with Liv Tyler, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Debbie Harry, and Shelly Winters.
I must admit that I only watched this movie because it featured the beautiful, alluring Liv Tyler. Then I continued to watch it because I could not figure what it was about. It …

Darkman is one of those classic movies that you will want to buy anytime a new version comes out. Me, I love Darkman and I am one of those who have to own every version of Darkman. Since I love Darkman and some people would call me an idiot …

Crazy Eights is this weird little movie that I’m still not too sure about. I bought it because I had seen almost every other movie in the 2007 After Dark Horror Series except for this one. Looking at the back of the box and seeing the actors in the …

I love Star Wars Attack of the Clones, and who would not? This to me is the most awaited part of the series where finally I get to see Master Yoda kick some serious butt. I am just fascinated by the Yoda character. It is just …

Lake Placid 2 is one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a long time, which is strange because the movie isn’t supposed to be funny. It stars John Schneider from Dukes of Hazard as a small town sheriff is Maine. His ex-girlfriend comes to town to investigate rumors …

I watched Madagascar 2: Escape To Africa and I came out from the cinema, a happy customer. It was so hilarious and I don’t mind seeing it again. Seriously, the first Madagascar movie was funny but the second got me tears in my eyes laughing. This time around, Madagascar …

This was possibly the best disaster movie I can remember watching. In fact, before this movie I had no idea that disaster movies could be great, since most of them tend to be b-movies. However, one of the things I learned from watching this movie was that good disaster …

The talk about “a film shot entirely with an iPhone 5S” stunned me last year. I know it is an indie (independent film) but still, the thought that almost everyone can make a glorious film without ever spending big is a big news for me. I have been very interested …

I admit at the moment I am watching a bit of old teen movies mixed with the more recent ones. I can’t help but compare “Save the last dance 1″ with the more recent movie “Step Up 1″. I personally enjoyed watching more “Save the last dance” than “Step …

The third Gidget movie was entitled Gidget Goes to Rome. It marks the last time that James Darren would appear as the very handsome and ‘oh, I’m swooning’ when I see him, Moondoggie. He was happy to move on from the character, though he understands its place …

I am not a transformer fan. This is the reason why I turned down two invites to watch this newest transformer movie. But when I was asked (not invited) by my younger sister to go with her and her boyfriend, I cannot do anything but to go with them …

Batman Begins is the second best comic book movie ever made; surpassed only by its sequel, The Dark Knight. This is a bold statement to make considering how many comic movies that have been made including all the Spider-Mans, Fantastic Four, and the older Batman movies. I …

Nell is the film where award-winning actress Jodie Foster first tries her hand at directing, so I thought it should be worth watching. It has such a weird premise; a woman is raised without any human companion and brought up in the wild. The lady of course …

Mr. Adam’s Bomb from 1949 was a really weird film that catered to an offbeat story line that frankly bored me and barely had a comprehendible plot. It opens in an entertaining way, with a man named Johnson doing the jitterbug with the maid. It is probably …

Every month there’s a movie release offering at least a couple of stories where human civilization is threatened by a dark force that is ultimately neutralized with more or less physical or intellectual effort.
In “The World’s End” it is the British actor Simon Pegg’s turn to save the planet. …

The first time I found out about the movie was not in the nineteen nineties when it was released, but some time after I got cable. I immediately developed a love for it then because it had a sort of independent movie feel towards it and I had just …

For me, finding a good comedy is kind of like walking through a mine field. I’m not guaranteed of getting across in finding a great, hilarious movie and I am more than likely to step on a mine and hit some very unfunny, poorly-written duds. That is why I …

Long winded speeches hold no candle to this 1970 film about a General who knows how to win and to also motivate all in his command to have the same mentality. Taking charge is a talent that so many have but very rarely make good use of it, unlike …

Disney proved that boy-and-his-dog movies were always popular, as did Lassie. But could boy-and-his-alien work the same way? I believe only if told by the right person. Steven Spielberg was that right person. Continuing in his aliens-are-our-friends vein, he brought us E.T., The Extraterrestrial. This was on of only …

I had expected a lot from this movie since it featured my list of favorite actors like John Travolta and Martin Lawrence, as well as Tim Allen and William Macy as the four main cast in the movie. Marisa Tomei and Ray Liotta are also in the movie and …

He wanted to win back the …

My daughter loves VeggieTales. So, I was glad when I could load a bunch of movies and TV episodes for her on our Netflix player.
One of the short movies I was able to find for her, just in time for Easter, was An Easter Carol. I wasn’t sure what …

The Hangover: Part 2 is a movie I, as so many others, have anticipated since its prior film. I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed as I was greeted with laugh after laugh with its comedic brilliance.
I have to say that I liked the fact that it was …

Harry Potter has been meaningful for youth, but the threat of danger from Lord Voldemort continues following. Harry had threatened to remove from Hogwarts turbulence in the magic world of Muggles, but it Dumbledore prosper from the defense to make Harry can escape from the punishment. Meanwhile at Hogwarts …

I watched this movie merely because I wanted to hear Samuel Jackson yell. Dave Chappelle was right on the money when he made fun of the way this actor yells at the the other characters in films. Sam was his usual great self …

2016 has been a dull year for me in movies so far. I have been to cinema for most time once an anticipated movie gets shown, but there are certain movies that I have missed in favor of the other. For example, I watched The Jungle Book instead of 10 …

First, and foremost, Bruce Willis. Need I say more. I have yet to see a film where Bruce Willis was not playing a part written for him or a part that he did not do justice to with his own …
