This movie came as part of a set which included the movie Madagascar. The Penguins’ Whacked-Out Holiday DVD features the penguins from the Madagascar movie. I especially liked the penguins, so it was nice that they got their own little movie, which is basically a short cartoon.
The penguins are …

The good news for us was, while I wouldn�t put Blades …

Sandra Bullock is delightful and charming to watch in While You Were Sleeping, a nice little romantic comedy from 1995. While not necessarily a huge favorite, this movie is pleasant and all about happily ever after. It shows a fairly average woman who wants nothing more than …

The Imitation Game is truly a masterpiece. It follows a key part of mathematician (among other things), Alan Turing’s life during World War II and how he contributed to help break Nazi Germany’s seemingly infallible communication code named Enigma.

Iron Man, I thought it was going to be a movie for the boys, like transformers or something like that, but it was really something more. It was a movie for everyone. It was mysterious, suspenseful, and even had a dash of romance. I have put it on my …

Once again another bad horror movie is made…and a corpse turns in its grave. Directors and actors please give note to this…stop making horror films as you know not what you are doing. You all lack the vision in what it takes to make a decent horror flick. If …

I went to watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with my boyfriend and some of our friends. I was a bit skeptical at first as I was not interested in it as the trailer was somewhat weird. It revolves around Benjamin a boy born as an old man. …

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. …

When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Call” it was a little before it was released, and I didn’t really pay much mind to it. Part of the reason was because a lot of the actress Halle Berry’s recent movies seem to have bombed and I …

The opinions concerning Michelangelo Antonioni are very divided.
