Legend of Zorro movie
The sequel to the very popular adventure film from the late 90s. In this film, Zorro went and got himself a son who doesn’t know his identity but only that his father is Alejandro de la Vega. The rest of the plot is very similar to the first movie, …
Kissin’ Cousins movie
I adore Elvis Presley and always have, but at the same time, I’ve felt sorry for him. That probably sounds crazy, but he was too loyal for his own good. It was his loyalty to the infamous Colonel Parker, his so-called manager, that resulted in Elvis starring …
Four Weddings And A Funeral
Remember watching Hugh Grant’s performance in Four Weddings And A Funeral the movie..? Well, I loved it very much and I could still remember this very delightful story.

Movie: Paranormal Activity
My wife got invited to see Paranormal Activity 2 with a friend today. And, since neither one of us had seen the first movie, we decided to sit down and watch it on Netflix Instant Watch.
When this movie came out, people told us it was the most terrifying thing …
The Quick and The Dead
The Quick and the Dead stars Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, and Gary Sinise.
A must see western principally due to the nonstop action and great music. Over the years the quality that makes a western standout has always been memorable music and …
Ordinary People movie
I am reviewing the movie, Ordinary People. Timothy Hutton, Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, and Judd Hirsch star in this fantastic movie about the hardships of life.
After losing a son to a boating accident, Beth and Cal Jarett don’t know how to handle their son that did survive …
Dragon Wars DVD
Dragon Wars is a movie that will be a hit with the pre teen, teen set and the parents who still love fantasy. It is rated PG 13 and definitely not for the younger viewers. The dragons get very nasty, as dragons will. It will be released …
The Bucket List
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, The Bucket List, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. So there’s this tough guy. He has a lot of money. He owns a hospital. He gets cancer. Then there’s this other guy. He’s a mechanic. He gets cancer. The rich guy …
Natural Killers DVD collection
We all know about the commercials on TV trying to sell us low quality products for a cheap $19.99 per month which gets charged straight to your credit card, and of course then we have to pay postage and handling. Then if you read the fine print you will …
Just My Luck movie
Lindsey Lohan isn’t exactly a star that draws me to a movie, so when we got Just My Luck from Netflix I was a bit skeptical about it.
Overall though, it was a pretty good movie.
Lohan plays a woman who is extremely lucky but ends up giving an unlucky guy …
The Family Man
I had an opportunity to watch the movie The Family Man last night. I have seen it before but it was the first time in a long while and I couldn’t remember much about the movie.
I now know why that was. It really isn’t a very memorable film.
Basically, the …
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (movie)
I am not, and have never been a fan of the Stephenie Meyer series, especially since I consider myself as a fan of the classic vampire folklore. However, I was forced to see it when it was still showing in theatres since nothing else I was even a quarter …
The Diving Bell and The Butterfly
The Diving Bell and The Butterfly is a french made movie about the true story of a frenchman who suffers a stroke and is totally paralyzed, except for his left eye. He used this left eye to eventually blink his whole autobiography. Wow. Amazing, right? And to …
Eight Mile movie
Before watching this movie I really did not have too much background on rap nor did it really strike me as something that is hard to do-just a bunch of aimless words being spoken with a beat. Featuring Eminem, this movie is about his story and how he made …
The Company of Wolves (1984)
This is a unique werewolf movie based on “Red Riding Hood” and one I enjoyed watching. Angela Landsbury is the star and she does a wonderful job of playing the girl’s grandmother. Based on the clothing the characters wear, the story is set during Pilgrim days except it takes …
Psycho movie
From imitation and its popularity among film scholars and horror buffs, Psycho has no more surprises left —“ that’s a given. However, Sir Alfred Hitchcock foresaw this problem and infused Psycho (as well as his other pictures) with the more effective element: suspense. We know where, why, and when …
The Death and Life of Bobby Z (2007)
Director: John Herzfeld. Featuring: Paul Walker, Laurence Fishburne.
The movie didn’t get lots of good reviews, and I cannot say that it is a good movie, but I found it very fun to watch anyway. It is quite entertaining and there are really good actors in it. I think …
Erin Brockovich movie
The movie Erin Brockovich is a very inspiring movie. She was a single mom of three that proved that she could make it. I was really impressed how she fought for the people in the town against a big company.
Even though the film is loosely based on a true …
Transporter 3
I been watching the Transporter series for quite a while already. I was clearly impressed on how cool was the “Frank Martin” character.
In this third series, it involves Frank transporting a kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official. Clearly for a start, I had difficulties catching up on …
Carandiru (R, 2004) movie
It’s amazing how much of a learning tool Netflix has been for me. I rented “Carandiru” without ever hearing about the inmate/police riot that occurred in October of 1992. I know that I wasn’t really up on world events during that time. But knowing …
Transporter
Up until I saw this film I had not seen any of Jason Statham’s work. Like Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme before him, he has made a movie career solely out of the fact that he knows kung fu.
The writers behind this film weren’t much …
Man of the year movie
Man of the year is a movie staring Robin Williams as a late night comedian who decides to run for president after a member of the audience suggest it. No one really thought he had a chance, however through a glitch with the new Delacroy voting machines he …
The Shining
Steven King’s The Shining is probably the most horrifying movie ever made. I just love this film. The Shining scares me till this day. And I get freaked out by it every time I see it. This is a movie that has scared people for years.
I think Jack Nichalson did …
Donald Duck
There are many cute Walt Disney cartoon characters but I think Donald Duck is the cutest of them all. To those who are not aware his full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck and his birthday was June 9, 1934. With his cutie bird head and a pair of …
Wild Target 2010 movie
Failure of a hitman is not a situation that you could assess it as “funny.” However, it is perfectly possible in Wild Target, applying the opus of the typology “ordinary people put in extreme situations.”
Three main and unusual characters appear in this movie, a hitman who takes care of …
Fried Green Tomatoes (starring Kathy Bates)
Fried Green Tomatoes is a powerful, sweeping movie starring Kathy Bates, Mary Louise Parker, Mary Stuart and Jessica Tandy. I call this movie my “Girl Power” movie. Watch it with your sisters and mom. A very good content story and if this is made into a book, …

Movie Good Shepherd (2007)
Don’t go to the new spy drama “The Good Shepherd” expecting to see Matt Damon pull secret agent type as he does in his “Bourne” thrillers.
This Robert De Niro directed film, co starring Angelina Jolie, Billy Crudup, William Hurt, and De Niro himself, concerns weightier matters. Namely, the early …

Wolverine the Movie
Wolverine the movie is one of the most anticipated fils this year. Marvel goes beyond comics and television. X-men is now conquering the cinema scene.

The arrogant and lonely Logan, …
The Sixth Sense
Oh, I loved this movie when it came out. I am also very easily scared though and the twist at the end of it had me freaked out. I love the subtle nuances in this movie, they make them seem real. I don’t know why writers have to use …
Alvin and the chipmunks
I watched this movie with my little sister a couple of weeks ago. It was good for the most part but I did notice that I was a little more interested in the movie than she was. I thought that it was a very cute kids movie and really …
Project Almanac (science fiction movie)
As soon as I watched the trailer for the movie Project Almanac it was easy for me to determine that it wasn’t going to be very good. However since I’m generally unable to resist movies about time travel I decided to watch it. While it did live up to my …
Movie She’s the Man
“She’s the Man” is the movie that confirms what a great actress, Amanda Bynes is. In this movie, we see her interpret the role of a boy most of the time. On a personal level, this movie was a great success for the actor, Channing Tatum because he managed …

Movie The Bad Seed
