Sweeney Todd
I just put Sweeney Todd into my DVD player again. I absolutely love this movie; there is something about Johnny Depp singing operatically while slitting someone’s throat that is just captivating. I think Tim Burton did brilliantly with this movie. Across the front of the DVD …
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Have you ever watched a movie that for the life of you you just can’t manage to sit through the whole thing, for every time it comes and you decide your mind that this time you are going to make the effort to sit down and watch it right …
The Seventh Sign movie
Strange events take place in the world, events that in courting to the bible hints that the apocalypse is close. For a woman named Abby Quinn it could also mean that her unborn child may be in danger.
This is a film that didn’t really serve it’s purpose in my …
You Don’t Mess With The Zohan
I have been an Adam Sandler fan for many years now and I really do enjoy all of his movies. You Don’t Mess With The Zohan is his latest movie. I really like him doing this film because it gave him a new identity. I love how he was …
The Fugitive movie
Starring Harrison Ford as a doctor framed for the murder of his wife, and Tommy Lee Jones as the Federal Marshall with a die-hard devotion in catching his man. It is intense and action packed with unexpected twists and turns. It’s not really a thinking man’s movie as we …
The Ugly Truth movie
I really enjoyed watching this movie. This was another pick from the RedBox dvd kiosk. I will however purchase this to have in my movie collection. This movie is a great romantic comedy dealing with issues such as relationships, what men and women look for when dating, etc. There …
Clash of the Titans movie remake
Hollywood has done it again. They’ve taken a well-known movie and tried to update it with flashy costumes (literally in the case of Zeus) and an overabundance of CGI. Clash of the Titans is a remake of the 1981 film by the same name, although it lacks many of …
The Santa Clause (1994 film)
One Christmas movie that I have really enjoyed ever since I first watched it was the 1994 film The Santa Clause. There was so much magic in this film and gave viewers a first glance look at the North Pole, which is of course every child’s dream, and the …
Life Is Beautiful movie
The first half of the movie is light hearted romantic comedy. Guido played by Roberto Benigni is a young Italian Jew who comes to Arezzo and sets up a bookstore. He then meets an Dora, Italian woman who is not a Jew. Dora played by Nicoletta Braschian gets closer …
Fatal Secrets (movie)
Some time earlier on this year, I watched a movie named “Fatal Secrets” on the cable television channel called TMC. I was a bit hesitant to watch it at first, since it looked like just another awful low budget movie to me that would be both predictable and full …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

X-Men Origins: Wolverine continues the X-Men film franchise as its fourth installment although in the form of a prequel to X-Men, X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: The …
Hell or High Water (2016 Western Heist Film)
2016 is coming to a close, I have been in agreement with my mind to choose the possibly best film of the year to close another trip around the sun.
I initially planned to watch Sully, although later in my choosing I decided to watch a deeper story. Reviews pointed out …
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 Muppet Christmas Carol
The Muppet Christmas Carol is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I did not expect to like it so much when I had first rented it out. First of all, I was not sure whether the muppets would handle the timeless classic with enough reverence; secondly it is a …
Bride of Frankenstein movie
James Whale’s classic sequel to Frankenstein. Here we see Boris Karloff yet again as the monster who is misunderstood as a savage killer, depending on his looks and unability to speak. At the same time the real monster, an insane colleague to dr Frankenstein, plans to create a bride …
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994)
Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, is one of the best Frankenstein movies that has ever been made. This movie is so powerful that it moved me in a way that no other movie ever has. It stars Robert De Niro, who is an incredibly talented actor, as …
Whisper (R, 2007)
I usually am a little apprehensive about “no-name” horror films. But I gave this one a shot. I am glad that I did because this movie was more interesting than I thought it would be. The plot is fairly simple: a group of …
An American Haunting
An American Haunting is a good movie, supposedly to be based on a true story about John Bell and his family. I was watching it with some friends and my boyfriend, and we were all ready to get spooked or something. Instead, the movie turned out pretty …
Movie: Field of Dreams
Synopsis: Kevin Costner plays an Iowa farmer who is on the verge of losing his property but decides to listen to a mysterious voice and chops down his corn to build a baseball field instead.
What I liked about this movie: I don’t usually say this about movies, but I …
The Good,The Bad and the Ugly movie
Sergio Leone created a whole new style of western films back in the 1960s with the so-called dollar trilogy. I am a big fan of these films, and in courting to most people The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is the most important of these films. Leone used …
Movie Fracture
Fracture is about a man who kills his wife (Anthony Hopkins plays this part) and the cops know he did it but can’t prove it basically. I know it kind of sounds a little boring but the movie itself isn’t. Ryan Gosling also plays in the movie. The two …
Iron Man
I believe that “Iron Man” is the best super hero movie for this year. What is really interesting about this movie is that it brings two great actors Robert Downey Junior and Gwyneth Partlow together on big screen for a great movie blockbuster.
In an interview, …
500 Days of Summer movie
The movie 500 Days of Summer is a bittersweet romantic comedy based around a man and the girl he thinks he has fallen in love with. It is not your usual sort of romance comedy, though, and the viewer knows this before the picture is ten minutes into …
2012 film
2012 was heavily advertised around where I lived, so I was pretty excited when it came out and I immediately rushed to watch it. After all, a doomsday film that sounded pretty promising (Mayans were the ones to predict this doomsday, which I had assumed would mean that the …
The Great Global Warming Swindle
The Great Global Warming Swindle was the right’s answer to Al Gore’s famous and popular documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.” It goes against the grain of current thought on the warming of the earth and attacks some of the incorrect facts stated in Mr. Gore’s documentary.
Unlike Mr. Gore’s film, …
Day of the Dead movie
Perhaps not as seminal as Night of the Living Dead, and certainly not as loved as Dawn of the Dead; Day of the Dead often seems the forgotten third child in Romero’s zombie saga. But, whilst it may lack the crude and creepy charm of Night, and the raging …
While you were Sleeping movie
I watch While you were sleeping when I was a little girl since then I have been watching non stop it’s become my all time favorite. It about a girl who has no family and spends her days being alone working at a ticketing booth at the subway day …
The Day the Earth Stood Still Movie
An alien space ship lands in Washington to everyones’ amazement. The military assumes the aliens provide a threat and fires on the creature coming out unprovoked. The alien (who is coming from Mars) manages to flee the military and tries to convince people he is coming in peace and …
Say It Isn’t So movie
“Say It Isn’t So” was mainly promoted as the movie from the same producers of “Something About Mary”. However this movie together with the movie “Me, You and Irene” cannot really be compared to the great success of “Something About Mary”. I must also admit that between “Me, You …
Dan in Real Life
This is a 2007 movie and I managed to catch it on DVD only. I think that this is perhaps one of the best comedy movies that I’ve watched. The plot goes this way: Dan who is acted by Steve Carell, fall in love with this sweet girl …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
I can honestly say that I was never a big fan of the Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon… however, I must also say that I loved Alvin and The Chipmunks movie. When it first came out, I thought it’d be a silly movie that only kids could possibly …
Day after Tomorrow
I could watch this movie anytime, any day. I thought it was a brilliant movie. It’s probably one of my favorite movies. It really did keep me very entertained and interested in the movie. Possibly the most entertained in a movie ever. Dennis Quad, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, all …

Premonition
Premonition is a movie I couldn’t wait for it to come out on DVD. I love Sandra Bullock and figured that this movie would be a great one to watch. I was wrong. Very wrong. This is a movie that is almost painful to watch. It is not written …
Two Weeks Notice
It is so difficult to say who is the ideal on screen partner for Hugh Grant. We have seen him act with such great female stars such as Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Renee Zellwegar, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Julianne Moore and Andie MacDowell. I believe he is ideal on screen partner …
Bridge To Terabithia
Based on Katherine Paterson’s classic novel, this is the story of Jesse Aarons (Josh Hutcherson), a boy who’s something of an outcast at school and at home (he is the only boy among four sisters). When a new girl moves in across the road, it’s initially bad news for …
Across the Universe (2007 film)
As a Beatles fan, I put off seeing “Across the Universe” for a while-even when others raved about it-because it didn’t seem like any movie could really do justice to the music-and I’m including the movies the Beatles themselves actually made, with the possible exception of “Magical Mystery Tour,” …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
I started watching the movie “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” without much expectation. I thought it would be another mindless comedy. But I was surprised that it was much more well-made than I’ve expected. The story flows around the main character Nick(Michael Cera), a high school student and an …
Castaway
Tom Hanks is one of my favorite movie stars. I usulaly like watching him perform with Meg Ryan, I saw him in a movie called Castaway where is co star was a volley ball named Wilson.
In this movie ToM Hanks plays a Federal Express executive who is set …

Clawed the Legend of Sasquatch (2005) Movie
I watched this horror movie last night and it was much better than I had expected. I had never seen a movie about a sasquatch (bigfoot) before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’m happy to say this picture kept me entertained until the end. The plot was …
Cursed (Theatrical Version)
CURSED (Theatrical version)
This cinematic hairball was released in two versions on DVD: R-Rated and unrated.
I’m not sure what the difference is between the two because I saw this mess in theaters and have absolutely no desire to muddle through it again, in any version.
Wes Craven’s first werewolf film is …
The House on Sorority Row movie
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 …
Miss March movie
Miss March is an underrated movie. It’s a romantic comedy that’s more comedy than romance, or at least very subtle romance. Miss March is about a guy, his best friend and his long term high school girlfriend. The main character is a virgin and has abstain from sex for …
Them!
My daughter wanted to watch a movie with me yesterday but I was getting a bit sick of cartoons. I ended up making her a deal. I told her I would watch a movie with her but it had to be the black and white horror movie “Them!” She …
Rugrats: Decade in Diapers

Enchanted the Movie
Enchanted was a totally Cinderella story, until the end. It was a good modern day fairy tale, and I ended up really liking it a lot. I thought that it would be a little fake at first, but still wanted to watch it. It turned out really great, and …
