The Pelican Brief (1993)

Denzel Washington aids a young law student in trying to solve a very important historical crime. This is a bad move that leaves her in harms way, the powers that be do not want this information to come to light and they will stop at nothing to make sure …

Deja Vu

The trouble with Denzel Washington is that he is the same person in every one of his movies. Every once in a while, he has a breakthrough role that is different. Deja Vu is not that kind of role for him. Compare his role in Inside Man, Man …

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi

My favorite of all the Star Wars sequels is Return of the Jedi, and that is even after I have watched all the movies the franchise has to offer, prequels included. True, there is a lot more technology and much faster pacing in the newer films, namely, Episodes …

Gingerdead Man 2 - The Passion Of The Crust Movie

Contrary to a lot of reviews I read before watching this, I did not find this movie hilarious. To me it came off as more annoying and silly than many other B-movies and Horror Comedies; and thus, I found myself immersed in a nightmare which seemed to be a …

The Penguins’ Whacked-Out Holiday DVD

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 film goes into how Alexander Graham Bell became …

Ghost Busters movie

My wife and I have been spending a great deal of time watching the show Ghost Hunters. So, as a change of pace, I decided to watch what I like to refer to as the original Ghost Hunters; the movie Ghost Busters.
This film, though a bit dated, is still …

Fame (2009 movie)

I didn’t jump at watching the movie Fame like a few of the younger people I know did, because I could remember watching the television series from the eighties in the early nineties when I was a little girl; and based on what I saw when the movie …

Hollywood Land movie

I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
I think it’s because this movie was something different from what I was expecting.
I think the movie, which is about former …

Sid and Nancy

Sid and Nancy with Gary Oldmann and Chloe Webb.
Ever hear of the axiom, If you have nothing good to say, then it is best to say nothing?” Well this biography of the crash and burn life of Sid Vicious from the group Sex Pistols …

Ice Age -Movie One in the Trilogy

I watched this movie a long time ago and then again recently; I recall then thinking that it was childish -which I suppose is good because it’s mostly a kid’s movie but I had hoped it would entertain me too- and that I would not care so much …

Cool World movie

One of the rare films were reality and animation is combined. Gabriel Byrne in the leading role as an animator who’s creations comes to life for unknown reasons.
The strange thing about this film is that the filmmakers didn’t put a lot of effort into making the contrast between reality …

Doctor Strange, 2016 movie

The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand with “Doctor Strange”. Not only does this movie introduce a new hero and defender of the Earth, but it even manages to expand the scope of the already epic franchise as a whole.
True, it is an origin story, but it …

The Little Mermaid

This is one of my most love animation movies. I saw this film when I was still a child and I enjoyed watching it so much. This movie made my imagination work and also left me a lot of lessons. Although 3D animation was not yet that advance at …

The Hours (2002)

Based on one of my favourite novels ever, Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf, this movie explores the inner world of three different women, living in three different times. They’re all connected to eachother somehow, the first being none other than the writer, Virginia Woolf (played by Nicole Kidman), who …

Film Brokeback Mountain

Based on Anne Proulx’s beautiful short story, Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain casts Heath Ledger as Ennis and Jake Gyllenhaal as Jack, two cowboys who fall in love up on the title mountain while watching after sheep. This event effects the rest of their lives, as they meet up throughout …

In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)

In my view, this movie tries too hard to follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Ring movies and by doing so it manages to sink its own ship. There are so many things wrong with this movie it is a wonder if ever made it to …

Roots movie

This is a movie that changed my perspective on life forever! No movie has ever approached its impact on my psyche. This movie revealed my history in the very saddest and unflattering terms. This movie succeeded in erasing my innocent perspective od United States History and forever cast a …

Erin Brockovich with Julia Roberts and Aaron Eckhart

The film Erin Brockovich is based on the true-life story of the woman of the same name who helped a small Northern California town fight the local power giant. She was not a licensed attorney, she did not hold a law degree and she was not assigned to dig …

Movie Idiocracy

One other movie I ended up watching on TV this past weekend was a movie called Idiocracy. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s from the same people who brought us Beavis and Butthead and, while I did watch the show when I was younger, I wasn’t …

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

This movie is a good movie but it just didn’t have something. I think that’s what they call ‘B’ movies. But those ‘B’ movies sure are fun to watch ! I love how this kind of wedding is depicted; all of the family, the traditions, etc. I love how …

Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Vol 6

I have no trouble admitting this: I am a huge fan of the Looney Tunes, and I have been ever since I was a kid, watching them on Saturday mornings. But then, as I got older, I discovered that there were certain cartoons in the Warner Bros. library that …

G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra Movie

I’m not really a fan of G.I Joe stuff but when I saw the movie G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra on HBO, I was kind of impressed. Not with the story though, but with the movie effects.
G.I Joe is a group of really special and top military men …

An American Haunting, Courtney Solomon Movie

Settings with in rural the United States around the year 1818-1820. The film opens with a scene in the present time. Is a daughter who is often disrupted by the sinister dream. The mother accidentally opened a letter of elfish that reveal the mystery of the house that they …

Suspiria

I think Suspiria is probably one of the scariest. If not the scariest movie ever made. This movie is old from the year 1977. But I still enjoy it. In fact I think older movies like Suspiria are the best kind of movies. I just loved the spooky music …

Charlotte’s Web

The movie “Charlotte’s Web” is one of the cutest movies I can ever remember watching. After seeing it I think that it is something that not just children, but the entire family will enjoy. I loved nearly everything about it. I have never gotten a chance to read the …

Devil (2010 Film)

I remember hearing about the film Devil from a friend who refused to take the elevator one day. I hadn’t heard of it and was amused that a single film could scare a person into not wanting to ride an elevator, but instead take the stairs. As a person who …

The Truman Show

Fifteen years ago, what takes place in this movie would have seemed impossible. Today, with all kinds of reality shows imaginable, it is eerily realistic. The main character, a young man named Truman (Jim Carrey), is an unsuspecting star of a big reality show. Since his birth, he had …

Heartbreak Ridge Movie

Clint Eastwood is a military marine officer who is sent back to his old team because of violent behaviour. He shows them new methods and train them to elite soldiers, even though the head officers don’t approve of his methods.
One this is for sure, this is not one of …

Beowulf Movie

I went into Beowulf with some high expectations. Sure, Angelina Jolie was in it (someone I can’t stand), but the previews looked pretty good, the animation truly incredible and I have always been a fan of the Beowulf story. What could be better than seeing Beowulf beautifully …

Moulin Rouge (Movie)

Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it a lot of times and have never failed to enjoy and feel emotional during the movie. What I like about it most are the songs. The first time I watched it, I was pleasantly …

Session 9 movie

Session 9 is a horror film that manages to be very eerie and unsettling whilst avoiding resorting to shock value or unrealistic special effects. It was a lot better than I had expected. It is set in an old mental institution —“ a beautiful, ornate red brick …

Return to Frogtown Movie

This is an interesting movie. The sequel to Hell Comes to Frogtown, starring Roddy Piper, this movie takes place a few years later. Sam Hell is no longer Roddy Piper, but is some other guy with an enormously freakish face, and he is now a member of …

Bad and Beautiful (1952)

“The Bad and the Beautiful” is an MGM movie filmed in black and white, lasting 118 minutes. It is a taut, well-crafted movie that left me alternately liking, despising, and admiring Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas). These emotions seemed to be those of the main characters as well.
“The Bad …

Blue Herrings movie

I am reviewing the movie, Blue Herrings, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles as the mystery duo of Sergeant Troy and Chief Inspector Barnaby. This movie was made in 2000, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novel written by Caroline Graham.
In this movie, viewers get …

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, movie

Before we start, I should probably give some background on my stance regarding the franchise as a whole. That way you can know where I’m coming from when discussing the movie as a whole. I did finally decide to check the show out on Netflix a while back. …

Wax Mask movie

An italian horror film that was included in a Dario Argento dvd box I got ahold of recently. The strange thing is that Argento did not direct this, so did another man named Sergio Stivaletti.
The film is set in France in the early 20th century. People are getting killed …

Movie Vanished

I have remembered this movie, Vanished, since I first saw it, but it’s been quite a while. I can’t find it anywhere, and it’s never on TV. It’s really frustrating, but it was so good to watch. The plot intrigued me, and it’s stayed with me …

Invictus: Movie

I thought that Invictus was a good, well-made film but had it not been based on true events, I’m not sure I would have been interested.
Rugby is not a sport that I have any real interest in, but the history that this film shows I feel was important. Nelson …

Ocean’s Thirteen

I am a big fan of the Ocean’s movies. I loved the first one, thought twelve was ok at best. I believe Ocean’s Thirteen is a return to form for the Ocean’s movies. The things I didn’t like about Twelve are fixed in this movie. …

The Ghost and the Darkness (DVD)

‘The Ghost and The Darkness’ is based on an amazing true story. In 1896, an Irish engineer named John Patterson, played by Val Kilmer, was sent by the British government to build a railway in East Africa. Leaving behind his pregnant wife, Patterson came to Tsavo; East Africa determined …

The Barnyard animated film

The Barnyard is a good animated film, quite entertaining. I watched it just recently and I found it pretty funny. The main character is Odus, an adopted son of a cow. His father is the leader of the barn, keeping things in order, protecting the barn from hyenas, etc …

Messengers 2: The Scarecrow

Another scary movie I have watched with my boyfriend is Messengers 2: The Scarecrow. The movie starts out with a young woman, running in a corn field; her face distressed and scared. She was the killed; the movie not showing who had killed her.
The movie then transitions to a …

Meet Dave movie

I met Dave, and I liked him. Meet Dave is about miniscule aliens who fall to earth in their Eddie Murphy shaped spaceship. They’re mission was to gain resources for their planet, and their only threat were the customs of earth including love, music, and greetings. As I watched …
