Movie Truman
Truman with Jim Carrey and Ed Harris.
This was a different kind of movie that had me expecting the slapstick humor of which Jim Carrey built his career, but I was sadly disappointed.
There are few effective comedic actors in the industry and Carrey is one of them. …

I’m not a big fan of action-packed thriller movies. However, when my husband bought this DVD and asked me to watch with him, I was impressed that it kept me engrossed right till the end of the movie. I thought that I’d have lost interest in it half way.
I …
The Corpse Bride Movie
The Corpse Bride is one of my favorite animated films ever. This movie really makes you feel the power and emotion in it. And with Johnny Dep playing the main character you know you are in for one wild ride. It was very cool to see some of Johnny Dep’s …
Monsters vs. Aliens (2009)
I really enjoyed this movie. It’s advertised as kind of a “team” film, but it truly is Susan’s (Reece Witherspoon) movie.
The movie begins on Susan’s wedding day. As she’s heading into the church, she gets hit by a meteor which she actually absorbs into her body. …
Maid in Manhattan
The best way to describe the movie “Maid in Manhattan” is one of Jennifer Lopez highest grossing movie. The critics didn’t like it, but the general public simply loved it. Personally I wasn’t impressed by this romantic movie due to the fact that the story seems to be stretched …

Greenberg (2010 movie)

Fred Claus the movie
We just finished watching Fred Claus. The storyline did go a lot different than I thought it would. It was entertaining and I would say, worth renting or buying the dvd. I don’t think, that if given the choice, I would go pay to see it in the theater. …

The Object of My Affection
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Object of My Affection” and the movie released in 2000 “The Next Best Thing”. Both of these movies tackle the issue of gay people involved in bringing up children and, unfortunately both of them, are not impressive movies.
What was lacking …

Everest (2015)- Biography, Drama Movie

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Movie

When A Stranger Calls (2006) movie
When a Stranger Calls is a suspense thriller that really was a waste of time. Not even scary in the least and everyone knows what exactly is going to happen.

Based on a book by the same name, “American Psycho” is more than just you’re average thriller or psycho film; it’s a snap shot of the money and corruption running rampant in New York during the 1980’s. Christian Bale puts in an immense amount of effort, and even if …

Movie: Chloe

Notorious (R, 2009) movie
I was a little worried about this movie because when biopics are made about famous people, it’s sometimes really hard to hire the right actors to do these kinds of roles. The actor must not only look like the artist, but must also embody the little nuances that …

A Little Princess

The Hills Have Eyes

This strange passion movie
This strange passion - or “El”, as it is better known - is one my of favorite films by Luis Bunuel. It is about a middle aged man who suffers from paranoia. This disease (as I would call it) is masterfully portraited by Buñuel here, using his own surrealist …
Half Light (R, 2006) movie
I had never heard of a romantic thriller starring Demi Moore. But because I am a semi-fan of hers, I was intrigued. The story takes places both in London and on a Scottish Isle (most of the drama is on the Isle.) Demi’s …
My Name is Bruce movie
When my wife and I sat down to watch the movie My Name is Bruce Saturday afternoon, I wasn’t really expecting much of it. I figured a film about Bruce Campbell playing himself and fighting real monsters would end up being a bit too corny and farfetched for me.
But, …
