Maternal Instincts
This is one of my favorite movies that lifetime has ever played. It’s not my favorite but it definately is one of them. It’s about a woman whose husband goes ahead tells the doctor to do a hysterectomy on her. Well she really wanted a baby and it seems …
The Blind Side
The first thing that comes to mind when you mention ‘The Blind Side’ is the movie for which the actress Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for best female interpretation. This is true, however the film is much more than that. The story of this movie is so touching that …
The Insanity (2016 Chinese Comedy)
The Insanity is a 2016 Chinese black-comedy film directed by Rao Xiaozhi, starring Wan Qian, Zhou Yiwei and Wang Zijian.
*I suggest you don’t watch the trailer, because it contains spoilers.*
I am speechless. I still haven’t gotten over the impact of the movie although it has been 2 hours after I …
Halloween (UR, 2007) movie
I am not too proud to admit that I thought this movie would be a piece of garbage. But I was sooo totally and completely pleased with how this movie was made. Thinking that it would be a convoluted and cartoonish remake of the original thriller, …
Sherrybaby (R, 2006)
For months I have been passing over the movie “Sherrybaby”—”thinking that it was just going to be fluffy sentimental crud that some indie films dish out. Boy was I wrong. The story is hinged on a woman who has been in jail for a few years. …
The Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon
When I first learned that Michael Shanks was going to star in The Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon, I thought it was bound to be Daniel Jackson in the Grand Canyon. Daniel is the character Shanks played for ten years plus in Star Gate SG-1 and its …
High School Musical movie
Disney Channel created a sensation with High School Musical in 2006. It has spawned two sequels, but I hadn’t even seen the original until last night. Of course, I’m not of current high school generation, so I’m not their target audience anyway.
That said, I chuckled at the …

Cris Johnson, a.k.a. Frank Cadillac is a Las Vegas magician with a little secret- what he does are not tricks, but the real thing. Cris Johnson can predict his own future up to 2 minutes ahead. It is …
Tempo di Viaggio movie
Andrei Tarkovsky is one of my absolute favorite directors. A true cinematic artist who wanted to make the cinema just as impressive an art as painting, music or literature, and I have to say he succeeded with his mission, although he died to soon, only about 50 years of …
Show Boat musical
It took me a long time to actually get through Show Boat in one sitting, and while I agree it’s a classic motion picture, for some reason I don’t watch it that often. It’s another musical that features Howard Keel, and for some reason, his pictures are ones …
Religulous (2008 documentary/comedy)
“Religulous” finds Bill Maher, stand-up comedian and host of HBO’s “Real Time” (and formerly, “Politically Incorrect” on ABC) tackling the complex subject of religion; touring holy sites around the world, talking with members of a number of different faiths, and all the while balancing their views with his, which …

The authors of the film interview a number of experts, scientists, politicians, top government advisers and officials, who thoroughly explain the …
Bullet Boy (R, 2004)
You must really be a fan of independent urban films to grasp the poignant story of these two brothers. If you are looking for lots of “Boyz in the Hood” type violence, you will only be mildly satisfied. This film meanders between sensitive drama, and urban action …
Shrek3 Shrek the Third
I loved the first two Shrek movies, this third one was such a dissappointment to me. I mean I really thought I’d enjoy it. Usually the first movies is good, then the sequel bombs, and everything else follows.. but in this case Shrek 1 & 2 were …
Movie: Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is an epic 2005 film by Christopher Nolan, and starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, and Gary Oldman. This is a spectacular movie that did much to erase the memory of the horrible Batman movies of the 1990s.
Pros: Nolan obviously loves the …
The Hitcher
The movie is about a boyfriend and girlfriend who go on this road trip to the girl�s family or friends house and where they live is miles away and it would take a day or two to get there.
Everything was going really well until it started heavy rain in …
The X Files: I Want To Believe
It’s been a few years since Mulder and Scully apparently called case closed on their last X-File, but you can’t keep a pair like that down for long.
Finally, after nine hit and miss years of the popular sci-fi drama; the franchise resumes with this latest big screen offering, …
Untraceable
“Untraceable” is a nail biting movie with Diane Lane in one of her best roles. What is so interesting about this movie is that it has a slow beginning but, later on, it peaks up in a fast manner with a heart beating ending.
“Untraceable” is about Jennifer Marsh (Lane) …
Burn after Reading
Brad Pitt, George Clooney and other good actors play in this movie. So you would think it is a good movie, right? Well it’s not in my opinion. Other than a couple funny moments with Brad Pitt the movie sucked. As soon as I thought it was getting to …
Raising Arizona movie
Raising Arizona is about how an ex con and an ex cop borrow a quintuplet from the richest family in Arizona. Why you wonder they took the kid is because they can’t have any kids themselves. Well the Arizona’s own a furniture store with unpainted furniture. this movie is …
Siegfried & Roy: The Magic Box
My boyfriend loves watching IMAX movies so much, I couldn’t understand why. And so, I have watched Siegfried & Roy: The Magic Box with him before.
I admit that watching 3D movies are fun, and I have lots of nice and funny experiences while watching. The joy does …
Power to the Peephole
No episode better showcases the out of date parodies of Tripping the Rift than this episode: “Power to the Peephole” which bases its entire B plot (or is it the C plot) around the whole Monica Lewinsky debacle. Not just a joke or two, but it is actually …
Eat, Pray, Love (2010 Film)
I don’t know what it is about Julia Robert’s, but no matter what role she plays, I can’t help but be pulled into to whatever the story line may be. In this case, the story line was the well-known novel turned into a film, the 2010 movie “Eat, Pray, …
Halloween (2007)
When I think of all the classic horror movies that came out in the late 70s and throughout the 80s and early 90s, the one that always stands out for me is Halloween. For me, Michael Myers is the creepiest killer ever; even worse than Jason or Freddie Krueger.
So, …
Curse of Frankenstein
I have seen almost every Frankenstein movie ever made and have to say, after seeing Curse of Frankenstein, I’m convinced Christopher Lee is the best at playing the classic literary monster (sorry Boris Karloff).
Made in the 1950s, The Curse of Frankenstein actually focuses more on Victor Frankenstein (played by …
The Perfect Man (2005)
The perfect man is a movie about a daughter who wants to find the best man for her mother who never has a serious relationship. It is about Holly, who has no permanent life and relationship because she always moved from one city to another just because her mother …
Godzilla Vs. Destroyer
When I was growing up, Godzilla was the ultimate movie monster. After seeing a more recent version of the series, Godzilla Vs. Destroyer, I am starting to see why he never won an Oscar.
The plot of the movie itself was decent. He once again has to fight a monster, …
X - Men 3 (movie)
Last night, my husband and I rented the third X Men movie on demand. I rarely praise movies or feel like they would be good enough to acutally go and see in the theater, but I must admit, I was really impressed with this movie. I think …
Loch Ness (1996)
Since I’ve always been fascinated with the mystery surrounding the Loch Ness monster, I didn’t hesitate to watch a movie about it.
However, as far as movies are concerned, Loch Ness falls well short of being entertaining.
Ted Danson plays a scientist who is highered to prove once and for all …

Toy Story 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Toy Story 2. Like most sequels, this movie isn’t as good as the original Toy Story, but it is still clever and good. Buzz and Woody are buddies in this film. There is a new puppy in the picture, and it …
The devil wears prada
This is a Meryl Streep movie, and like all of her movies she is simply fantastic. I find that Streep gives that extra input in her work that makes her such an extra ordinary actress. I personally compare her a lot to the actor, Joaquin Phoenix they …
Batman Begins (2005 film)
The 2005 film “Batman Begins” starring Christian Bale and Katie Holmes, along with a cast of other remarkably talented actors, gave me some very new light on Batman and what he stands for. I really got swept up in Bruce Wayne’s life and saw for myself the reasons behind …
Movie 300
The modern day effect in a classic war epic! Based on the actual historical event of 300 Spartans facing, for sure death, defend there freedom and there land against the will of the older oracles! The characters performance is unreal they all look like body builders and you can …

Movie Lake House
I bought this movie when it came out and I am glad I did. It’s not as good as the notebook but it is a really good movie and a good romantic story. Keanu Reeves plays a guy who moves into this lake house which this girl played by …
Singles (Movie)
I love the city of Seattle as it is one of my favorite places in the world. So when I saw Singles, I was enchanted by the scenery in the film, as Singles is a movie based upon the lives of characters living in Seattle. I liked this movie …
Our Miss Brooks movie
From 1956, Eve Arden takes the part that she played successfully for four years on television, high school English teacher Constance ‘Connie’ Brooks, and puts her on the big screen. What is confusing to some, though, is that instead of moving forward with the story, this movie actually …
Christina’s House movie
I watched this movie on lifetime Movie network the other day. It was an overall alright movie. It was worth watching but it isn’t a movie I would watch again or buy. It’s a good movie for a rainy day. If you are really in the mood for a …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
I love the first National Treasure movie. So, when they came out with the sequel, Book of Secrets, I couldn’t wait to see it.
Unfortunately, even though I did enjoy the film, I felt it fell well short of the original.
Book of Secrets relies on two things; first, there is …
An Officer and a Gentleman movie
Richard Gere in his best role as the rebellious Mayo. He goes through one of the toughest military educations and meets the love of his life in the meantime. The story combines heartbreaking romantic sequences with the almost sadistic way the soldiers are treated by their superior officers, and …
Battle Los Angeles: Movie
Battle Los Angeles is a decent film, not amazing, but certainly worth watching for anyone interested in the action genre.
Since I watched the disappointing “Monsters” a few months ago, BLA gave me hope for a good alien invasion picture. I was slightly disappointed I have to admit.
The story isn’t …
Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
OK, I’ll admit it. When Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle came out, I figured it was going to be a very stupid movie and didn’t take the time to watch it.
But, last night, on a hunch, I gave it a try. And, I have to say I …
P.S. I Love You movie
I know that I am a girl and I love reading love stories but I am not a big fan of watching a pure drama love stories. Don’t get me wrong, I love mushy stuff but not the drama factor the whole time because it really affects my mood. When …
