Movies Reviews
Kate and Leopold Movie
This movie came out in 2001 but I just saw it like last week. My boyfriend was sitting at his computer and suggested that we watch this movie since he saw it a while back and really liked it. So we signed on to his Netflix on his Playstation …
The man with the movie camera movie
Dziga Vertov’s documentary-like film from the 1920s has been acclaimed as one of the greatest masterpieces of all time, and I can do nothing but agree to that. Vertov’s uses his camera in such imaginary ways, showing the people of Moscow through every possible angle and style. He wanted …
Wanted (R, 2008) movie
I had been dying to see Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy in this hot action thriller. But there are several things that I am really not happy with. First of all, Angelina was a bit too thin to really be considered a sex symbol. It is …

Gone Girl (2014 film)
I’m another one of those very crazy Gone Girl fans that have also read the book. My very first introduction to Gone Girl was when I read, pretty desperately, this critically acclaimed novel in less than three days, often surrendering to feelings of “please, just another chapter” and discovering …
Casino Royale Movie
I went to see Casino Royale on New Year’s Day. I think it is the first Bond film I’ve seen at the movies since 1966. I was a little disappointed. I think this is for two different reasons.
My favorite James Bond was played by Sean Connery. He was witty, …
The Constant Gardener movie
The Constant Gardener is a beautifully filmed movie about a couple who moves to Africa. The man, Justin, is a professor and loves to garden. He meets Tessa during a meeting, and they fall in love and get married. Tessa is all about activism and helping the people of …
Movie Bruce Almighty
I like to watch movies and one of my favorite actors is Jim Carry

Warlock (1989)
Julian Sands is a warlock being accused of practicing witch-craft and is condemned to be hung and burnt. On the day before his execution, he escapes and teleports to modern day from the past. Kinda like from the day of the pilgrims to present day.
In hot pursuit to recapture …
The Last Starfighter movie
The Last Starfighter is a neat little science fiction story that is interesting and entertaining to watch. Robert Preston really excelled as his mysterious and colorful character of Centauri. I think I like his portrayal the best. He’s funny, and he keeps you guessing.
Lance Guest played …
Cast Away (Tom Hanks, 2000)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who usually does a good job, and starring Tom Hanks. Usually Tom does a good job too, but this movie didn’t work for me. I didn’t like it for many reasons, but it wasn’t the actors or the director at fault: it …
Watchmen movie
One night I decieded to go to the movies. I had not been to the theater’s for a long while, and since I rarley watch television, I had no idea what to see. After looking at the movie advertisement however, I decided I’d see “Watchmen”. From what I learned …
Desperado movie
“Desperado” is the funny action movie that made the actors, Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek very famous in Hollywood. Hayek was hardly known in Hollywood before this movie. It seems that the director, Quentin Tarantino so much liked this movie that he personally asked to be given a small …

The original release date for this movie was November 3, 2006 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Animation/Adventure/Comedy/Family and …
Green Lantern movie in 2D, starring Ryan Reynolds
First off, I must say that I am a very big fan of the Green Lantern comics and have been for over a decade. The reader needs to know of my bias towards this film. Unfortunately, there will be a few spoilers, but I’ll try to keep them at …
Pride and Prjudice 2006
It is very rare that I see a movie of a book that I have read and that I like it. This movie, Pride and Prejudice starring Kiera Knightly was an exception. The film work was exceptional, the acting was superb, and the costumes were stunning. This is another …
Into the Wild
I watched Into the Wild yesterday. I think most or part of the plot story that is in this story is based on true events. Sean Peen excels this time and this is a very good movie which leads you to think long after the movie’s finished. …
Bubble Boy
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Bubble Boy. But, after seeing it today, I can remember why I loved it so much.
What is better than a tale about a boy who is forced to live his life in a bubble because he doesn’t have an immune …
Children of the Corn
Children of the Corn of the corn is a movie that made me become afraid of kids. I really think this movie is horrifying. I really liked the acting in the movie. These kids were really creepy and very evil. I liked their supernatural power. The music also really scared …
Mighty Joe Young
This movie came out quite a few years ago. My mother just bought it for my younger sister. She loves animals and loves movies. So she really enjoyed this movie. It’s about a gorilla. I think it’s a great movie overall. The acting is good, the story is good, …

Brothers (2009) movie
Brothers was an interesting film to say the least the three lead roles really made this movie for me, but overall I enjoyed it and it somewhat relates to real life.
The plot of the movie is pretty straight forward but there are lots of subtle entities that you …
American Graffitti movie
American Graffitti was all the rage when it came out, but it did little for me. In truth, I didn’t see it for a long time after the release, and it may have suffered from overkill. By that, I mean that there was so much publicity for …
Friday the 13th Uncut (1980), slasher film
Friday the 13th was not the first slasher movie, but it does get credit for a few things. The biggest seller point to Friday the 13th is the fact we never saw anything like this, at the time. To this day Friday the 13th has been able to stand …
Just Go With It movie
Just Go With It —“ I was charmed by the two main characters but the plot was totally implausible!
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston bring style and so much charisma to this predictable story - or at least the ending was predictable —“ the rest of it was mind boggling …
The Women movie
The Women is based upon a movie classic from 1939. The claim to fame of this film is that there are no men in the film, not even in passing. In parts Meg Ryan is very entertaining but I am a fan of Meg and all her characters are …
Gilmore Girls The Complete First Season
There are not many mother-daughter stories anymore, and that is why I really love watching Gilmore Girls. This is The Complete First Season, and I have watch re-runs of it so many times, both on TV cable and on DVD.
There is just too much good acting, wonderful characters, …
LORO, movie (2018)
The beauty of individual things is undeniable only in our heads. Someone is sure that he ties his shoelaces beautifully or hangs stuff in the closet. The Italian Paolo Sorrentino is not sure of anything. He knows. He knows how to beautifully shoot a girl by the pool, shaving her …
Fried Green Tomatoes movie
Fried Green Tomatoes has two plots going on at the same time. The first plot is about Evelyn meeting Ninny while Evelyn and her husband are visiting her husband’s aunt in a nursing home. Evelyn has been thrown out of the cranky aunt’s room, and she retreats to a …
The Raven (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Raven” I thought that it seemed like it had a lot of potential. I might not have known at the time that the title was the same as a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe a little before he …
Carnival Story movie
The world in the 50’s and 60’s loved stories about carnivals and circuses, and that’s why we have this film, Carnival Story, from 1954. In fact, I understand a German version was made at the same time and that the stars of both movies are seen but uncredited …
The Proposal movie
Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock have never even made it to my list of favorite actors. Nor have their movies ever made such an impression on me. I had to force myself to watch The Proposal because I literally had nothing better to do and I totally missed watching …
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 …
Shock movie
Mario Bava is one of Italy’s most renowned directors of horror stories. In the sixties he created the most gothic and gruesome tales memorable for their excellent visuality. Shock, which was made late in his career, tells the story of a family in which the mother slowly descends to …
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness is based on a true story. It tells of a single father struggling to raise his son in the Reagan era. Will Smith surely should be nominated for an Oscar for his role as Chris Gardner, a medical sales man, who lives from …
Stir of Echos
Another one of my all time favorite actors is Kevin Bacon. There was a game out a few years ago called the Kevin Bacon game, in that game you would name movies or movie actors who were associated with or played in the same movies as Kevin Bacon. …
While You Were Sleeping Movie
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to get your heart’s desire, then watch While You Were Sleeping. Just don’t expect your heart’s desire to look exactly how you thought it would.
Slightly woebegone Lucy (Sandra Bullock), is a token taker for the local commuter train. …
Don’t Mess with the Zohan
I am reviewing the movie, Don’t Mess with the Zohan, starring Adam Sandler and a variety of other actors. So…how to explain this movie? There’s this Pakistinian guy named Zohan and he’s really popular. He fights terrorist groups. What he really wants to do is to cut hair, …
The Quiet Earth Movie
One morning an ordinary man wakes up and realizes he is the only alive on earth. Almost the only one, at least.
A production from New Zeeland from the same director who did the studid sequel to Under Siege with Steven Seagal, and that can be noticed here. This film …
Coraline cartoon movie
I have just finished watching “Coraline” and I thought about writing the review now with the memory of it fresh in my head.
It is a cute cartoon movie, a bit too spooky for young children but nevertheless very moralizing.
I have let my son watch it with me and he …
Pandora’s Clock
The reason I tuned into Pandora’s Clock, a 1996 TV movie, was because it starred Richard Dean Anderson, who is one of my favorite performers. I’ll start with the girlish stuff and get that out of the way. In a uniform, Anderson is yummy. He just …
The Barbie Diaries
Even though I’m already a grown up, I love watching cartoons, animated movies and especially Barbie! I’ve watched The Barbie Diaries like countless times and just am not bored with it at all. This is just like your typical chick flick; only animated version.
Barbie and her friends …
Movie Atonement
Oh wow, this movie blew me away. It is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It is one I would actually buy on DVD if my fiance didn’t have that Blockbuster promotion thing. I love the costumes, the set designs, everything. The ending …

Shoot Fighter with Martin Kove, William Zabka, and Maryam D’Abo.
When John Claude Van Dam and Bruce Lee introduced martial arts tournament movies to the American audience, it spawned a generation of copycat films of lesser quality. Shoot Fighter is one of these. You …
Nightmare of Elm Street movie (2010)
I recently went and saw the new Nightmare on Elm Street. I think most people know the plot line to nightmare on Elm Street, and for those few who don’t it’s a pretty simple slasher flick. A badly burned Psycho who was killed years ago by an angry mob …
