Take The Lead movie
I was able to watch Antonio Banderas mostly n action films, so I never really thought that he can dance.
I love this movie so much since it is a very realistic one, it really talks about the life of high school students. I can relate to the girl seeking …
Premonition
I was prepared to really hate this film. I had read reviews. And so many people (including critics) had nothing but weak things to say about this film. I think it’s because Sandra Bullock has never been taken seriously as an actress. Her quirky ways, …
A League of their Own movie
I am reviewing the movie, A League of the their Own, which was released in 1997. Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Madonna are just a few big stars that acted in this incredible movie about the first ever woman’s baseball team. Tom Hanks plays Jimmy Dugan, who in …

Across The Universe Movie
If you’re fan of The Beatles, then this movie is for you. It features Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess.

Splinter movie
Horror movie fans have been subjected to numerous ghastly, teen-driven horror flicks in recent years. “The Messengers”, “Pulse”, and “The Eye” are just a few of the countless titles that fall into that category, but nestled in among the dreck are a few classics that are a must see …
Despicable Me Movie
Rarely am I interested in movies, so it always comes as a surprise for me if I’m interested in watching a movie for a second or even third time. Despicable Me was such a great movie that I now have it on a regular weekend rotation. This movie, starring …
Blonde Joke Videos
It’s probably not politically correct to make fun of blondes any longer, but I ran across several lately that made me laugh at least. They can be found on Youtube.com and probably in similar places like Google Video.
The first of these a very cute blonde video, or maybe it’s …

Bonsai (2012 film)

Jaws
Jaws is probably one of the scariest movies ever made. And Jaws is also the reason I’m scared to go in the water when I’m at the beach. This movie can really scare people and really make you feel uncomfortable. I really did enjoy the music in jaws. The …
Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters (movie)
I might be a fairly cynical twenty-something right now, but there are some things that I find that I have not and probably never will outgrow. Two of those things are my love for superheroes and my love of fairy-tales, especially those that hail from places in Europe. When …
Did You Hear About the Morgans? (Movie)
Hugh Grant is one of my favourite actors of all time, so I was looking forward to his latest movie, Did You Hear About the Morgan’s? to come out in DVD. I had heard lots of rather negative reviews about it, so I wasn’t expecting anything more than his …

Dead Leaves anime OVA
I’ve seen some terrible movies in my day. “Catwoman”, “Transformers 2″, “Turkish Star Wars” to name a few. I’ve seen movies so bad that I roll my eyes when people make fun of “Twilight”. Granted, I’ve only seen the first movie and it wasn’t particularly good …

Spoorloos movie
This is a film in which the plot has to remain a secret to have any power to it. All I can say is that the film tells the story of a dutch couple on a vacation together. That’s how the film begins anyway, then there’s a twist and …

Crazy Eights (R, 2007) movie
I cannot even begin to explain how utterly disappointed I was with this film. Film is not even a word that can describe the atrocity of this HorrorFest movie. I saw that it featured Gabrielle Anwar. And I suppose that because I saw her …
Zoom
When the movie Zoom came out, it had two strikes against it in my opinion. First, it was about a bunch of kids with super powers; something that has been done way too many times in my opinion. Secondly, it starred Tim Allen. I like his stand up comedy. …

Movie Georgia Rule
