Manhunter movie
Michael Mann’s depiction of the story Red Dragon with Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecter. This film was actually made before The Silent of the Lambs, the second film from the same novel series. Manhunter is made in a completely different style, very close to that colorful look of the …
Brown Sugar movie
Backwhen I was still in high school, the movie “Brown Sugar” seemed ot be a big thing amongst some of my peers. At the time I didn’t know what many people where talking about either since I neither heard about it nor saw it advertise. Poeple were even talking …
Film Avatar
The new movie Avatar has been reviewed so many times, with opinions ranging from “masterpiece” to “unoriginal” and “nothing special.” Well, here is my take on it, after watching it in IMAX. The plot may not be very original. My husband said that Avatar reminded him of “Dances with …
Annie movie
I am reviewing the movie, Annie. I am reviewing the older version of Annie, not the disney one (which was deplorable). Everybody knows the story of Annie, a little orphan who wants nothing more than to see her parents again. She lives in a dreadful orphanage with a …

Get Smart movie
For the past month or so I’ve seen previews on TV for the movie Get Smart. It didn’t look that great to me, I figured it may be worth getting on Netflix when it comes out on DVD, but that was all. Certainly not worth seeing in …
Nanny McPhee
“Nanny McPhee” is a great fantasy movie with a comic touch. This movie shows how great Emma Thompson is, as an actress, and as a script writer.
The story of this movie is about Mr. Cedric Brown, a part excellently interpreted by Colin Firth, who is a widow and has …
Movie Deception
Overall this was an alright movie, I thought that it could have been a lot better. It kind of dragged out some during the beginning of the movie. There was also too much sex in the movie, I thought anyway. It’s about this accountant who meets this guy and …
The Woman in White,1982 movie
“The Woman in White,” 1982, mini-series is perhaps one of the best adaptations of the Wilkie Collins mystery novel. Mini-series, in my opinion, is the best way to film Victorian classics: you don’t have to cram a huge book in a one and a half hour movie and therefore …

Juno
I’ve just watched Juno this morning and I unbelievably liked it. It was good, in a quirk, unconventional way. The lifetime lessons were priceless same as with the laughter. It made a huge impact on me after I’ve watched the movie.
Juno is hilariously immature. It was such a good …
Suspiria (movie)
Suspiria is a totally weird film, no doubt about that. I watched it because it was recommended as a cult horror classic and I was not disappointed. I loved the bright colors, the shots that were so psychedelic and keeping with the hip times, but sometimes Suspiria was a …

Protocol movie
Protocol is a nice little comedy about Sunny Davis, a cocktail waitress who saves a dignitary and goes to work for the government. It’s a crazy story that is as probable as it is improbable in this media-conscious world of ours.
Goldie Hawn is Sunny, an upbeat, innocent, and …
The Detective movie
Frank Sinatra starred in this 1968 vehicle called The Detective. He plays Det. Sgt. Joe Leland. Now frankly I’m not fond of Sinatra’s serious roles. I do enjoy him in musicals and lighter fare, but I’ve never been a fan of his more earthy roles as …

Under Suspicion movie
Under Suspicion is an interesting movie which keeps the viewer glued to the seat till the end scene. The scenes woven throughout the movie are very intriguing and if you miss a scene, you can not follow the pace of the movie. The speciality of the movie is that …
New York Minute movie
“New York Minute” is a movie by the Olsen’s sisters which includes action, romance, sentimental moments addressed for all the family. Sadly for them this movie was a big box office flop and they also ended up being nominated for the Razzie Awards.
Why “New York Minute” failed to inspire …
Movie Underworld
I like to watch the movie “Underworld” in which the Lycans(werewolves) and Vampires are at war.
In this movie Celine played very well by Kate Beckinsale is trying to find out why the Lycans and Vampires are trying to kill a human played by Scott Speedman.
As …
Juno
I had a friend recently recommend the movie Juno to me. From the trailers, the movie didn’t really stand out to me, and I probably wouldn’t have realized it existed if not for this friend. That is all beside the point, however, because I’m very glad I …
Red Cliff
Red Cliff, directed by John Woo, has lots of stars including Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Fengyi, Chang Chen, Hu Jun, Lin Chi ling and Zhao Wei. The budget for this show was incredible. With an estimated of US$80 million, it was made the most expensive film to be …

M. Night Shyamalan hit the nail on the head with this creative endeavor of his. Lady in the Water is a story-telling type of movie in which the main characters, who all share an apartment complex together, join together to help save a young woman who was found in …
The Fifth Element
I know many people love this movie. Even the grade school pupils adore this. But please count me out. This movie I think has overdone it’s attempt to illustrate something in a deeper sense to the point it appeared obscure.
Because of the way the …
The Hound of the Baskervilles movie
Jeremy Brett in the role as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as dr Watson. This is a tv produced film that preceded the very popular series, and Jeremy Brett is in my opinion the best actor to appear as the mastermind next to Basil Rathbone (of course).
The classic story …
Boogie Nights movie
Boogie Nights is a film about the adult entertainment industry and the making of pornographic movies in the last 1970s. Evidently at this time, all movies in this genre were made to be shown in theaters. What a concept! Anyway, one of Boogie Nights’ stars is Burt Reynolds, who …

NetFlix
What a pain having to go all the way to the video store and walk around forever finding what you want. For a long time I didn’t even go out and rent movies because it was just too much of a hassle. Also I hated the restrictions of how …

Cheaper By The Dozen 2 Movie
This is the second movie that came out after the first. Cheaper By The Dozen 2 is better than the first. I couldn’t stop laughing. Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt once again play the Bakers and get themselves and their twelve kids into a ton of trouble when they …
Frankie and Alice (2014 Film)
I remember hearing about the film Frankie and Alice back when it was first released in 2010, but never taken the time to watch it until the recent release in 2014.
