Twilight
When I first heard about the movie, Twilight based on the Book by Stephanie Meyer, I really did not know much about it. After it came out on DVD I decided to watch it. At first I loved the movie but found it a bit cheesy. After reading the …
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 …
Transformers (2007)
Amazing! Right from the start this movie has you hooked. There is nothing that I can say “bad” about the “Transformers” movie.
For starters, they give you an idea of what happened on the home planet between the two battling factions. It is explained how and why the Transformers had …

Titanic movie
What can I say about the second highest grossing movie in the world? A lot, I guess. First, I have seen it at least twenty different times, ten of which was from the big screen. I guess I was one of those moviegoers who contributed to …
Julie & Julia movie
I am great fan of the actress Meryl Streep and Nora Ephran movies. ‘Julie & Julia’ brings these two talented woman working together in a very special movie for both of them.
I believe that ‘Julie & Julia’ represented a different type of movie for the director Nora Ephran …
Happy Feet (2006)
Happy Feet is a 3D animation movie. I can say it’s a musical movie. Lots of songs in there. If you like musicals, watch it. If you don’t, you could try but I’m not sure if you’re gonna like it.
Happy Feet is about a penguin that can’t sing. He …
The Departed movie
Whenever Martin Scorsese comes out with a new film, I can’t help but become excited, and The Departed did not disappoint. Scorsese brings his wonderful cinematic vision we have seen in such movies of his as Goodfellas and the Raging Bull. The filmaking is also excellent which …
You don’t mess with the zohan
Whenever Adam Sandler makes a movie, you really never know what you’re going to get. He’s had some film classics like The Wedding Singer, Big Daddy and Happy Gilmore. Then, he’s had movies like You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, that are so terrible, you can’t get through a …

Album : Metallica - Master of Puppets (1986)
What better time for me to re-visit one of my favorite albums of all time now that it has been recently remastered again and re-released. I remember when i first heard this album years and years ago it blew me away. Up until then i was just listening …
Coneheads
Coneheads was an alright movie. I think it was kind of cheesey and wacky yet funny. The big heads on the cone head people were pretty funny looking. I also liked the acting and voices of the characters in the film. I think the storyline was not very good. It …
Movie: The Ruins
When I think of The Ruins the words for decription that come to mind is unexpected surprise. Although I’m a huge fan of horror films, creature features are not the ones I enjoy the most. I don’t even remember why I put this on my netflix queue …
Blood Diamond movie
Before I watched the movie “Blood Diamond” I don’t think I had ever heard about the war over diamonds coming from the African country Sierre Leon. In fact, I think people always seemed to be a bit more focused on genocide in other African countries. One thing that the …
Robocop Movie
It rained Saturday so we were pretty much stuck inside the house all day. I ended up flipping channels and came across a movie I haven’t seen in a long while; Robocop.
I didn’t remember a whole lot about the movie but figured it was one that was good when …
Movie The Enforcer
The Enforcer with Clint Eastwood and Tyne Daily.
Of the Dirty Harry series, I suppose that this sequel is the most tame. It deals with political correct issues and the gentler side of Inspector Harry Callahan. When the opening scene proved to be vintage …
Gladiator movie
The historical epic genre has been lost for the world of cinema ever since Ben Hur and its 11 Academy Awards until Mel Gibson’s Braveheart. What Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe did in the end of the second millennium led to 12 Academy Award nominations, too …
Notorious movie
I remember only vaguely the so-called hip-hop wars between the East Coast and the West Coast rap artists in the 1980s and early 1990s, because I listened to only some of the music. I do remember the violence between the two groups, and the gang war that resulted in …
Winning of the West movie
I really don’t believe I’ve seen many Gene Autry movies, but the other day I was bored and there was nothing, and I mean nothing, on TV so I tuned in to a 1953 flick called Winning of the West. What I love about these old movies is …

Underworld: Evolution
It has been a couple of years since I saw the movie Underworld. So, when the sequel, Underworld: Evolution, came on television last night, I had some serious catching up to do.
Overall, I would say the second film in the series is the better of the two. The plot, …
Cannibal Holocaust
This is one of the most controversial movies of all time for its animal cruelty and scenes of extreme violence and realistic gore. The movie was released around 1980 and this could possibly be an excuse for some of the low quality and bad acting, but this goes beyond …
The American movie
George Clooney’s The American movie had some good and bad points to it in my opinion. I will admit off the top to not being a big thriller fan, but Clooney is such a good actor that sometimes I will tune into things that I would not normally. …
The 6th Day Movie

Vampires Suck (Movie, 2010)
With the over abundance of vampire movies and television shows out and coming out it only makes sense that someone would come out with a spoof of these entertaining videos, but isn’t a spoof supposed to be funny? Sure, “Vampires Suck” has some funny points, maybe about three of …
Because of Winn-Dixie (2005 movie)
I remember seeing the ads for this movie when it first hit theaters several years ago. I had no idea what the storyline was. All I knew was that it was about a girl and her dog, and that alone was enough to make me want to see it. …
The Stoning of Soraya M
I recently saw a movie call The Stoning of Soraya M. This movie was really moving to me and I feel that I must write a review on it. This movie is based on a true story. It takes place in …

Chicken Run cartoon
Chicken run is an animated cartoon movie about a group of chickens who try to escape from a chicken farm. I thought this movie was actually pretty good. I thought I wouldn’t like it as it was an animated cartoon but once I watch it I realized it was …
Australia movie
The main actress of the movie “Australia”, Nicole Kidman described it as “the Australian version of Gone with the Wind”. I like to think that “Australia” is a cross version between two modern movies - “Titanic” and “Peal Harbour” - because the movie concept seems to thread on the …
My Fair Lady
1964’s My Fair Lady is definitely a movie classic. It’s a musical that continues to touch those who view it. It’s well made and excellently portrayed.
Rex Harrison stars as Professor Henry Higgens, with Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle. One must wonder if the picture would have …

Lars and the Real Girl Movie (2007)
After watching Lars and the Real Girl I am proven once more that you cannot judge a movie by its plot description. When I read that the movie is about a lonely man who develops a deep and romantic relationship with a doll he orders only, my reaction …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding Movie
My Big Fat Greek Wedding is probably one of the most hysterical movies that I have ever seen. I watched this movie on Fox the other night and I really enjoyed it. It was the first time that I had ever seen a movie with Nia Vardalos and …

“The Children” Vertigo Pictures, 2009
Last night I was invited to a relative’s house to watch a movie. It was “The Children- Vertigo Pictures, 2009.” When I saw the Ghost House logo I silently rolled my eyes and dreaded the inevitable two hours of watching teenagers get killed one by one in an …
World War Z (movie)
I’m generally not really a fan of zombie movies, especially those apocalyptic ones that detail what the end of the world would be like if a great part of the human race were turned into bloodthirsty zombies. However, when the movie World War Z was released I found that …
