Last Holiday
The movie “Last Holiday” (2006) helped me to see Queen Latifah in a new way. It is a good story, and she fits right into it, delivering a funny and at the same time touching performance. She plays Georgia, a middle class woman who has a list of things …

Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace, is a decent bond film, but nothing like the originals, and pales in comparison to the previous bond film. This movie does have action, however, it is a darker and more serious bond. The story is mediocre, and mostly involves Bond getting over what happened in …

Meet The Robinsons

The Outer Limits : “Essence of Life” episode
As I skimmed through the episodes of The Outer Limits on DVD, I ran across one that was only slightly less nauseating than some of the others. In “Essence of Life”, a mysterious vial of liquid possesses the ability to “reincarnate” the image of the deceased, if sniffed …
Vantage Point
I’m a big fan of political thrillers; as long as they are fast paced and make you think while entertaining you.
The movie Vantage Point has some of the makings of a great movie but takes things a bit too far in terms of trying to do too much.
The plot …
Pride & Prejudice movie
I’ve never read the book Pride & Prejudice before, but after seeing the movie this past weekend, I’m going to consider reading it.
The movie itself wasn’t overly impressive. In fact, it was a bit confusing considering the number of characters I was forced to memorize right off the bat. …

Foul Play movie
I saw Foul Play years ago, when I was a child, and my mom brought it home for my sister and I to watch. We had enjoyed it then, particularly Dudley Moore, who we laughed at hysterically. I have since had the urge to watch it again. When I …
Jurassic Park I: The Movie
In my opinion the movie Jurassic Park based on the novel from Michael Crichton is one of the great set of movies based upon his books. The animation and idea behind the movie is cutting edge for the time it was created in 1993. The plot for the movie …
American Vampire
I picked up the movie American Vampire in the $1 section at Walmart and now know why, until I bought it, I had never heard of it.
The movie reminded me a lot of the bad vampire movies that were frequent throughout the 80s. It had it all, teenagers being …
Open Season: movie
Open Season is an animated movie which was made using computer-generated graphics. The movie is marketed to kids, but in my opinion, adults could really enjoy it as well. The movie is about a tame bear named Boog . He meets and befriends a one antlered …
Out to Sea movie
From 1997, Out to Sea is a surprisingly funny motion picture. Even with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau teamed yet again, I just wasn’t sure that this movie would have what it takes to entertain all the way through, but I shouldn’t have worried. With these two …
The Happening movie
This movie is film making at its worst. The plot was weak and at many times didn’t make much sense. We learn the “twist” in the first twenty minutes of the movie! There is no drama build up to the twist like a good suspense movie, …

School of Rock
I don’t normally like the actor Jack Black in movies, and I don’t normally like his movies either. In fact, one of the few which I remember liking was “Saving Silverman”. This is why I found it so difficult to watch the movie “School of Rock” after it was …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix
I saw trailer of the fifth part of Harry Potter on HBO, very impressive and attractive. But I watched it and it was disappointed. Everything happened so fast. If you didn’t read the novel Harry Potter and The order of the Pheonix before watching the film, you can not …
The House Bunny movie
We were watching some of our movie channels last night and came across The House Bunny.
This is the second time I’ve watched this movie in about a year now and I have to say it is still a cute and clever concept.
Well, to be honest, the only thing clever …
Under the Cherry Moon
Prince is one of the most multi-talented performers in the world. Acting, however, is not one of his strongest points. However, as Hollywood history proves, an actor doesn’t particularly have to be all that talented, if audiences like him.
“Under the Cherry Moon” was supposed to be a …
Little Man, Keenen Ivory Wayans Movie

Escape Plan movie
In its desire to entertain the cinema methodically presents a series of jobs, making viewers experts without even requiring them to leave their comfortable armchairs.

Man of the House movie
I absolutely adore Man of the House, which is a simple romantic comedy from 1995 which stars Chevy Chase, Farrah Fawcett, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who was probably the biggest child star of the 90’s, at least on television. In this film, Thomas plays Ben Archer, whose father …
Happy Feet Movie
The movie Happy Feet was one of the best children’s movies I have seen this year.

Fantasia/2000 movie
The IMAX movie Fantasia/2000 was a blast with my little cousins. I brought both of my 2 darling cousins to watch this IMAX movie, and since both of them are 4 and 3 years respectively, they giggled throughout the movie, and really enjoyed it so much.
My most favorite …
Get Shorty
WHen I saw the movie “Be Cool” come out in 2005, I had a hard time understanding it even though it was only bits and pieces at different times that I watched. Thus, when I heard that it was actually a sequel to the movie “Get Shorty” which I …
One Missed Call movie
One missed call is a great movie. It has great actors in it, a good storyline and kept me interested throughout the movie. The ending could have been a little bit better but it was still a good ending. It started off really good, once I started watching it …
Lost Weekend movie
Billy Wilder was one of Hollywood’s most successful and original filmmakers during the golden era. He is most famous for masterpieces like Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity and Some like it hot, but The Lost Weekend is just an important film as those ones in my opinion. It’s the story …

Running Scared Paul Walker
I originally thought this was a remake of the old Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines movie but soon realized it wasn’t. I decided to watch it anyway and have to admit it was pretty good. It was fast paced enough for me and I could even deal with the …
Monster movie
Monster is about Aileen Wuornos, a female serial killer. Monster looks behind the scenes and tells you the real story of Aileen. I never thought that Aileen was justified in murdering men in cold blood, but I can say that I feel Aileen was a victim of men all …

I am reviewing the movie, Good Will Hunting, which was released in 1998. This movie stars Matt Damon, Ben Afflec, Mimie Driver, and Robin Williams. Ben Afflect and Matt Damon actually wrote the screen play. Robin Williams won an Oscar for best supporting actor, and Damon and …
Redbox red movie vending machine
Redbox, for those that don’t know what it is, are those big red movie vending machines that can be found at most Wal-Marts, Walgreens, gas stations and McDonalds. They’re basically everywhere. Sometimes you’ll find two of them in one location if they get a lot of business. Whoever invented …
The Outsiders movie
I simply enjoy doing reviews for old movies because you have the advantage of knowing how they effect people and very importantly what happens to the actors afterwards. “The Outsiders” is a classic movie that goes down in history. Apart from the fact that it is directed from the …
Angel Season 1
I adore Angel. My fiance got me into all the magical, vampire shows, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Charmed, and Smallville. This review is about Angel Season 1. I love this season because it sort of picks up where Buffy left off. I love how there …
Hydra movie
The first time I had heard of the movie “Hydra” was when I had seen it advertising on the cable television channel SyFy. Even then, I could clearly see that it was going to be one of SyFy’s usual B-rated creature horror films, and when I had decided to …
