Movies Reviews
Reality Bites
Reality Bites is a nice romantic movie with the back drop of young students. The movie is said as a path breaking movie of this type. Ben Stiller directed this movie and is his first movie as a director. The movie has Ben Stiller, Winona Ryder, and Ethan Hawke …
Bucket List
I work in a hospital so more or less I am inclined to the joys and sadness of the hospital life. When I bought a DVD for Bucket List I wasn’t able to watch it right there and then but my brother who was able to see it said …
The Devil and a Guy Named Webster
The premise of this episode is pretty much laid out in the title: The Devil and a Guy Named Webster. It is a fusion of the classic tale: The Devil and Daniel Webster, but instead of the famous American orator we get Emmanuel Lewis (best known as star …
Cinderella Story DVD
Cinderella story is yet another amazing movie featuring Hilary Duff (Sam). Sam is a girl affected by the 1989 earthquake. Her dad died that day. She was forced to live with her evil stepmother just like every other cinderella story. Sam falls in love with the most popular guy …
Blockbuster.com
I am currently renting movies through blockbuster by mail. I Love it because there are no late fees, the movies come right in my mailbox, you have the option of returning them to a blockbuster and getting another dvd from the store. There prices aren’t bad especially compared to …
Superior 71 Drive-in Theater
I am reviewing the Superior 71 Drive-in Theater located between Okoboji and Estherville, IA. This drive in has been in operation for only two years, and I can’t say enough good things about it. I am in my twenties, but I have always loved the idea of …
Wonder Woman - The Complete First Season
I have a complete first season DVD of The Wonder Woman. Yes, it is true and please do not laugh for I love this show pretty much while it was broadcast on the TV channels a couple years back.
It is especially fun to watch this DVD with my group …
Happy Feet movie
I did not see the movie Happy Feet in the theatre, but my daughter recently received it for her birthday. My kids, ages 7 and 8, enjoyed it but it did not hold their attention and I doubt they will be wanting to watch it a second time. …
Juno- the movie
Loved this movie.
Was very disappointed with “Little Miss Sunshine.” The same studio brought you this movie, but the hype is VERY deserved for this film.
Ellen Page is a revelation as this character. It is so well written to begin with, but she turns this sarcastic but earnest character …
Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age
Last evening I watched the movie Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age.
I usually as a rule like period piece movies. However, I thought even though Cate Blanchett did a good job of acting the part of
Elizabeth the 1st and the costumes were extravagant, the movie was merely mediocre. Some …
Love, Actually movie
Love, Actually, is a very strange movie to nail down and categorize. Overall, it is, of course, a romantic comedy, but it is wholly unique from other members of the genre. Instead of relying on two star crossed lovers to tell its tale, Love, Actually, features a very large …
Shrek the Third (2007)
Shrek the Third, directed by Chris Miller and Raman Hui is rated PG bythe Motion Picture Association of America for some crude humor, suggestive content and swashbuckling action. The original release date was May 18, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Animation/Adventure/Comedy/Family/Fantasy and …
Hellboy 2 (R, 2008)
I typically do not like these types of films where the hero is grotesque, but has these sensitive powers. I was intrigued by the Hellboy concept, but never bothered to watch the first one. I have been told that it is probably a good thing as …
The stupids
The stupids is my personal favorite comedy. It is one of the most demented and funniest movies I’ve ever seen. This movie stars Tom Arnold (just to give you an idea of what kind of movie this is) as Mr. Stupid someone who is convinced that someone is stealing …
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 …
Happy Feet
My mom and dad bought Happy Feet for my little girl to watch and it couldn’t have been a better purchase. She just loves this movie. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing.
Between the melody and rhythm of the music and the contrast of colors on the movie, it …
Murder on the 13th Floor (movie)
One of my simple pleasures in life is lying in the couch and watching a fairly good Lifetime movie on a Saturday, especially if I don’t have much to do. When comparing them to some other movies, they might rate as rather terrible to average for too many reasons …
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz (2000 movie)
This takes us on a journey of self discovery, where war is a thing of the past (for a year) and peace is being challenged by a new breed of dictators. The Gundams have served their purpose are were decommissioned…and were to be destroyed. After the uprising, the Gundams …
Movie Necessary Roughness
I haven’t seen the movie Necessary Roughness in years but finally had a chance to watch it again today. It isn’t as good as I remember it being, but it is still decent.
The movie, which is about a college team that loses all of its players due to NCAA …
Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is a disappointing movie mainly because of the lack of an engaging story. Even though the movie will remain as an epitome of fantasy, Alice in Wonderland never grows up to become an amazing work. Tim Burton should have put more effort in interlacing the fantasy …
Balls of Fury
I normally enjoy Christopher Walken movies but the film Balls of Fury was a bit too stupid for my tastes.
I’ve always thought table tennis as a competitive sport was a bit too much. It’s a game that should be played at home and that’s it. So, when you make …
When Trumpets Fade movie
A film set during World War II, focused on a band of soldiers and their struggle for survival. It begins very good with a strong sense of realism and despair, but then it is so evident that this film was intended for television, and the low budget is so …
Frozen 2013 Animation (Movie)
After my cousin told me that an animation movie titled “Frozen” is leading the box-office. I knew this movie had some great odds of getting on top of my best animation movies list with “Tangled”. Tangled was released in 2010 with a great funny, hooking story and heart conquering …
Stag
This is a program that I often see on Pay-Per-View that shows mainly the bachelor of a soon to be married couple going out on the town with his friends to celebrate his last night as a single man. They hop from club to club, drinking and having a …
The Cutting Edge
I’ve seen this movie so many times that I can recite some of the dialogues already. The Cutting Edge is actually one of my most favorite romantic movies of all time. I never get tired of watching
it. It’s a story about a young and talented hockey player, Doug, (D.B. …
Slumdog Millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire is the name which we are hearing all the time these days.This movie has leaved it’s mark on Golden Globe,and currently Slumdog has taken away many awards in BAFTA,and now it got nominated for 3 Oscar awards also.This movie is rocking the world of award ceremonies this …
Inspector Gadget’s Last Case
I recently introduced my oldest daughter to the Inspector Gadget cartoon series I grew up watching and she loved it. So, as a special treat for finally trying a new food, I let her watch a full length Inspector Gadget movie; Inspector Gadget’s Last Case.
While she seemed to like …
Movie Kicking and Screaming
Kicking and Screaming with Will Ferrell, Robert Duvall, and Mike Ditka.
I would never watch a movie about kids playing soccer. I do not like kids and I do not like soccer. So why did I give it a shot? Two reasons - …
“Adam” Movie
The movie Adam is very interesting. It is about an adult with Aspergers syndrome which is similar to autism or some may call it high functioning autism. This movie was unique because they portrayed a normal man, not a genius or an idiot savant, but …
Wes Craven movie Red Eye
Well I laughed and that’s something. These are my thoughts on the Wes Craven movie Red Eye. I approached this movie with much trepidation. The last time Craven stepped outside the horror genre he made Music of the Heart. You surely understand my reservations. Red Eye however, is …
Happenstance (R, 2000) movie
When I saw Amelie, I was really really excited to know that there would be another film featuring Audrey Tautou, a brilliant impish actress. Happenstance is very similar to Amelie in that it deals with coincidence, and the complications/ ramifications following. The entire story in Happenstance centers …
Nothing DVD
Nothing may sound like nothing, but the Nothing DVD is full of everything. It’s a well packaged DVD with a couple of extras to make buying the product worthwhile.
The movie Nothing stars David Hewlett, known best for Stargate Atlantis. It also stars Andrew Miller. The two …
Hills Have Eyes, The (2006)
The Hills Have Eyes takes place in the middle of the desert in the Western United States. It stars Aaron Stanford and is a very exciting film.
The story behind the Hills Have Eyes is very interesting. Back when nuclear bombs were being tested in the deserts of the United …
Movie: Bad Dreams
Bad Dreams is one of my favorite, unabashedly guilty pleasures from the late eighties. Starring Jennifer Rubin, Dean Cameron and the chick who does the voice for Bart Simpson this movie is eighties schlock horror at its best. I remember seeing this movie late one night on …
Ninjas Vs. Vampires, movie (2011)
Endlight Entertainment’s Ninjas Vs. Vampires is not a movie that is meant to be watched alone. Don’t take that statement as this is the scariest movie ever made, although it does have a few jumps and some decent blood-spilling. This is a movie where you have some …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)
With the previous entry in the series (Dead Man’s Chest) boasting a controversial cliffhanger of an ending, fans who saw Dead Man’s Chest were no doubt clamoring for the epic finale to the trilogy after walking out of the theater one year ago. Indeed, for me it was a …
Movie White Chicks
The movie White Chicks is a very funny one. I love this movie and would see it all over again. It’s very funny. The stars are the Wayne’s brothers. They were the white chicks. They got transplant and look like white chicks. The funny part is that they don’t …
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003 Drama Movie)
I heard of the movie Girl with a Pearl Earring long before I watched it, but I just figured that it would be one of those overblown movies that would only be popular because it had a Hollywood sex symbol playing one of the main roles. However, after forcing myself …
Men In Black (movie 1997)
From afar, you see a light spiraling towards earth…from in the distance it would seem like nothing to worry about, but when it reaches land, that’s where the carnage begins. A bug has come to earth to capture a galaxy for it’s source of sub-atomic energy on it’s own …
My Bollywood Bride
Watching My Bollywood Bride, I love it so much. This is based on a true story of a copywriter aspiring to become a writer and having a very popular girlfriend; Bollywood, that is. Kashmira Shah and Jason Lewis star in this movie and I love it; so romantic …
Teeth, movie by Mitchell Lichtenstein
Teeth is a movie written and directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein and stars Jess Weixler. It premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
I’ll admit, this movie wasn’t what I expected. I first rented it because I …
Chasm-e-badoor
This is yet another masterpiece, directed by Sai Paranjpe. Chasme-e-badoor (meaning ‘angelic beauty’) is a light romantic comedy made in the early 80s.
The story is about three friends, who are in Delhi (Indian capital city) for their studies. There live together in an apartment, and share all their …
Movie: Ponyo
Because I have kids, just about everyone who has seen the movie Ponyo has told me it is a film we should watch with the family. So, when it became available on Netflix Instant Watch, I did make an effort to add it to my list and, this past …
Blue Jasmine: A Movie
A few nights ago, my husband and I were watching television when he stumbled across Blue Jasmine on HBO. I had never seen it before, but he had seen it and thought that I would like it. I can’t claim to be a huge Cate Blanchet fan, but I …
Pirates of the carebean
You’ll be hearing sounds often in this film. The action is packed into nearly every partof this movie. Remember the sword fight between Depp and Bloom early in the first film. I found that to be the highlight of the fight scenes.You think I?m exaggerating? Not even close. Just …
Bobby (NR, 2006) movie
Oh how I really enjoyed this little film. It wasn’t riveting in the least. But I loved how Emilio Estevez pulled together so many talented actors into a film that showcased what they can do–so well. In any event, I have one major complaint: the …
Role Models (UR, 2008) movie
I was dying to see this movie when it hit theaters. But alas, I ended up catching it on DVD. And I have to say that I’m glad I waited. While the movie was funny, I found the little boy’s antics a bit over …
Race to Witch Mountain movie
This 2009 theatrical release reinvents the story told in Disney’s Escape to Witch Mountain that captivated a younger generation back in 1975. This is the 5th version of the movie which has a science fiction theme surrounding children and a mysterious mountain. There are some updated elements …
The Mist movie
I can quite honestly say that “The Mist” was the best horror film I have seen all year.
The acting was spectacular, the casting was great and the script was magical. I was actually quite surprised because in my opinion the horror industry has been lacking in the last …
What Happens in Vegas
It seems that the couple, Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher really works because thousands of people went to the cinema to watch “What Happens in Vegas” during the first weeks when thi movie was released.
What is so great about “What Happens in Vegas” that made it such a huge …
