Breakfast at Tiffany’s movie
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is another classic that I keep watching repeatedly. In fact, just recently I bought the collector’s edition. This film is just amazing, and not only because actress Audrey Hepburn lights up the screen with her presence and fashion style. I think the film …
Incredible Hulk Season One
The Incredible Hulk Season One was a really cool series and unlike a number of first seasons on other television programs, the Hulk was a GREAT series right out of the staring gate. In fact, some of the first season programs are among the classics of the series. (The …
Quantum of Solace
I been a James Bond fan since the arrival of Daniel Craig as the new icon of James Bond, a serious contention in the Bond series, I actually feel he has a really no nonsense look, intelligent and really gritty in my opinion.
Daniel Craig is in his second James …
The Smurfs 2 - Movie
The great performance (600 million dollars) of the first feature movie about the Smurfs (2011) made the continuation of their adventures an inevitability. And it is already a fact - three-dimensional, dynamic and colorful as usual. In the center of the story is Gargamel, who is a superstar in …
Yentl film
Yentl is one of my favorite Barbra Streisand films. Maybe it’s because she put her soul into this movie, making it a tribute for her own father in real life. It’s a story about heritage and the right to study religion as a female in the Jewish …
Sex And The City- The Movie (2008)
After all the long anticipation into the final story of the super sucessful show Sex And The City and all the years of talk into making the movie- the final result was more than disappointing.
The show Sex and the City was a real hit. It showed the life of real …
Bloodsucking Cinema
I have a confession. When it comes to movies I�m a huge pushover for vampire films. It doesn�t matter whether they are a blockbuster hit or some B-rated movie on the bargain rack at the video store, I want to see it.
So, when I was surfing through the movie …

Tyler Perry’s The Family that Preys
I don’t normally watch movies by Tyler Perry. I find the subject matter to be kind of trite. Additionally, it often seems like the sets are too artificial looking. The best of the best are always the stars of these films in terms of …
Movie Children of the Corn
I can’t remember the first time I saw Children of the Corn, but I know that it scared the daylights out of me. Now that I’ve watched it again as an adult, the same doesn’t hold true. Honestly I’m not sure if it’s because the film is older, or …
Goodfellas Movie
Scorsese’s depiction of the mafia society is regarded as a classic by many, and tells the life story of a man growing up with these mobsters and rising to the top very quickly. Scorsese uses a voice-over (a narrator) in a way here that has been influential on later …
The Purge, 2013 Movie
For one night a year, all crime is legal. It’s a very compelling idea for a movie, right? If the film is well executed then yes, but in the case of The Purge, it’s really nothing more than an average movie.
The Purge was one of the first movies in …
WALL-E
I have a great time going to the movies with my husband and daughter. We have really been looking forward to WALL-E coming out in the theatres. The trailers for it looked great. We finally got to see it last Saturday. We were really excited. …
Witness for the Prosecution
Witness for the Prosecution is absolutely wonderful. The plot takes so many unexpected twists and turns that it keeps the viewers head spinning. In fact, by the time you get to the end, it’s like — wow! Incredibly, at the end of this film, the producer …
Storm of the Century by Stephen King
Have you guys ever watched Storm of the Century by Stephen King before? It is one of Stephen King’s movies and I watched this sometime back. Now, any story from Stephen King will always be laced with mystery and wonderment and sometimes the characters are being developed quite …
The Imitation Game, movie
“The Imitation Game” has proven to be one of this year’s top contenders at the more significant film award ceremonies. Does the film, however, truly live up to its praise? The film explores the life of Alan Turing and his experiences in attempting to break the ENIGMA code of …
How I Live Now (2013 Drama Movie)
Even though the movie itself never really became massively popular, I actually remember when the trailer for “How I Love Now” was released. I remember thinking that there were two main reasons why I wanted to see it. The first was because the actress Saoirse Ronan played the protagonist and …
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
This is Quite possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen. The stereotypes one would expect in a movie like this are there and are (in some places) slightly over done, but they do not take away from the movie overall. Rarely does a hilarious movie succesfully carry a …
Hilary and Jackie movie
A true story about two sisters who’s life are deeply affected by music, both for performing it and listening to it. They are very much alike but still they choose different paths in life, even though none of them seem to be the right one. Perhaps they should have …

Movie The Illusionist
I must admit I am a huge fan of Edward Norton’s films. Every time there is a new movie of his; I simply jump at the opportunity to watch it. His films are simply extraordinary. In “The Illusionist” one can see Norton at his very best. This is definitely …
Movie Taken
Taken (2009) is, without a doubt, the best action movie I’ve seen in years. Everything about the movie shines, from its pitch-perfect acting, to its well-written story and dialogue, to it’s incredible non-stop action sequences.
Liam Neeson shows that he can still carry a movie despite being in his late-fifties. …
Superman Returns
At last, someone returns to the heart and soul of the original Superman of 1978, with minor improvements to special effects and setting. This movie could not have been made as is back in 1978. It is a Superman for this generation and I am pleased with its arrival. …
Sanctum Movie
This movie really interested and intrigued me since I love swimming and everything outdoors and my husband was a licensed diver himself, and we wanted to watch this since we thought we could relate to the movie, and we did. The movie is called Sanctum and they say the …
Storm over Asia movie
In this epic montage film by Pudovkin, the story of mongolian warlord Djenghis Khan is told, or rather, the last days of Djengis Khan. It’s a very complex and sometimes confusing story, but Pudovkin really found and perfected his visual with this work of art. The style these montage …
Silver Streak Movie
Silver Streak is one of my favorite movies. It turned 30 years old this year, but is still fresh and fun to watch. I just watched it again just a few minutes ago and laughed and enjoyed it as if were the first time I’d seen it.
I fell in …
Shrek Forever After in 3D Movie
My brother gave me passes for the premiere of Shrek Forever After, the final chapter in the ogre-starring computer-animated movie franchise. We managed to see the 3D version.
One thing I can say about the movie is that it is definitely better than Shrek 3. There are more funny moments …
Kung Fu Panda
Seldom do I watch animated movies. I first read about Kung Fu Panda in articles about the Cannes Film Festival and when I found out that it features the voices of Angelina Jolie and Jack Black, two of my favorite actors, I became interested. So interested in fact that …
Miss Potter
Miss Potter is funny and nice. The movie stars Renee Zellweger and I love the way she speaks with a British accent! It’s so cute and funny and at the same time, understandable. She played the character of Beatrix Potter, so obviously she’s the Miss Potter there.
Ewan …
First Knight movie
“First Knight” is the movie where we see Richard Gere with a sword. This movie floored a lot of women as Gere’s impersonation of a Knight is not something we see everyday and definitely not something to ignore easily! Another handsome man in this movie is Sean Connery. His …

Prestige movie
“The Prestige” is a dazzling, entertaining, smart, and mind-blowing film. It is a rare combination of a fun, enjoyable, popcorn movie and a serious, well-done, cinematic film. “The Prestige” sucks you in and doesn’t ever let go. As soon as you see it, …
Joy Ride, movie
Joy ride is the tale of road trippers on the way home from college for the summer. It starts Steve Zahn, Paul Walker and LeeLee Sobieski. I thought that this film follows in a similar vein of “The Hitch Hiker,” yet still brought some new things to the screen …
Princess Mononoke
An animated film by famous japanese director Hayao Miyazaki and his Studio Ghibli. It is the story of a young woman named Mononoke who was raised by wild animals in the woods. This is not a realistic film, more of a fairytale with lots of supernatural things taking place. …

The Stepford Wives (1975)
I am not reviewing the terrible 2002 remake of this movie with Nicole Kidman, but the 1975 original, directed by Bryan Forbes. I watched this movie as a kid and found it really sinister and it played on my mind afterwards. Now I have just seen it …
BBC miniseries
This is one of those splendid BBC adaptations that is almost as good as the original novel. The novel in this case is a work by Anthony Trollope, who is one of my favorite novelists, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed in this movie.
The story is about a wealthy young …
Mad Max: Fury Road (post appocalyptic action movie)
Even though I never really took the opportunity to really sit and watch the previous installments in the Mad Max franchise, I has always felt like the movies might have been something I would find very interesting. Therefore my anticipation of the fourth installment, “Mad Max: Fury Road” grew out …

The Twilight Saga: New Moon movie
I like the concept for New Moon, the second movie episode of the famous Twilight saga based on the Stephenie Meyer bunch of vampire novels, which are causing such a stir in the movie and literary worlds. The reason for the New Moon title is that Bella, the …
Take Shelter (2011 movie)
“Take Shelter” is a well crafted, interesting film that deals with quite a few hard-pressing issues (mental illness, nature gone wild, apocalyptic fears, financial strife). I wish I liked it more, but it left me somewhat disappointed - I found many separate things to like about it, but they …
Movie: The Outsiders
Synopsis: Two rival gangs, one made up of rich kids and the other made up of poor kids wage an all out war on each other in Oklahoma.
What I liked about this movie: I love movies that feature a well-known actor or actress before they were famous; mostly because …
Movie The Car
The Car is a very old but super scary movie. The movie was very good in my opinion. I think that the film really shows the kind of stuff that people really fear. I mean what’s not scary about a car that drive by it’s self and kills people? …
