A Cinderella Story
A Cinderella Story is a really interesting take on the fairy tale of Cinderella.
This movie stars Hilary Duff as the to-be “Cinderella” and Chad Michel Murray as her “prince.” Hilary narrates some of the movie like she is a telling story, which I found to be nice.
The movie …
Poltergeist (2015 supernatural horror movie)
In my experience remakes, like sequels don’t always turn out very well. That is why I wasn’t exactly rushing to see it once I found out that the 2015 remake of the popular 1982 supernatural horror movie Poltergeist. However, I found myself singing a different tune once another horror movie …

Babel movie
Babel had a lot to say and used intertwined stories to tell it. The movie was capable at discussing the narratives, often giving voice to those that aren’t often portrayed in movies. The Mexican housekeeper’s story is portrayed by her not being able to tell it. The Japanese teenager …
Blades of Glory
When we rented Blades of Glory, I didn�t know what to expect from it. We�ve watched Will Ferrell movies in the past and, while some are absolutely hilarious, there are just as many that were very disappointing to us.
The good news for us was, while I wouldn�t put Blades …
The Return movie
Normally, when I watch a Sarah Michelle Gellar movie, I expect there to be a lot of action and a little bit of terror. Her movie The Return provided the latter but not enough of the former.
The idea behind The Return is a good one. Gellar plays a …
Movie Jarhead
I just got finished watching this movie not to long ago. It was really good, my only complain about the movie is that it could have had a better ending to it. It was overall a pretty good movie. It made me laugh a little in some parts, but …
Revolutionary Road (2008 Film)
The 2008 film “Revolutionary Road” reunited the two main characters of “Titanic”, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. I had thought that this film was going to be a rekindle of the flame that I saw in “Titanic” and something that would leave my heart melting. However, I had an …

A classic movie is one that lasts through the ages, and Ben-Hur is definitely one of those. It’s an epic motion picture produced with high quality everything. It won 11 Academy Awards. The masterful and commanding Charlton Heston took home one of those, winning the Best …
Naruto Episode 14 Subbed
Despite some of the earlier episodes that had a lot of flashbacks, this episode managed to be quite interesting. The main character is back in the action, none too soon in my personal opinion, but of course this does not amount to any interesting action. In fact, Naruto’s entrance …

The Wedding Singer
The Wedding Singer marks the appearance of Adam Sandler being an extremely funny man. He rocks in this movie and his side-kick, Drew Barrymore rocks too. The storyline is about Adam being a wedding singer and this romantic comedy is awesome.
Adam plays the character of Robbie, …
I Legend movie
Independence Day, Wild. Wild West, Men in Black, I Robot, I legend. Main ingredient Will Smith plus flat imagination, lots of special effects. I fell asleep, I felt ripped off. There were dramatic moderately high points in the movie. The scripts were not original, Smith …
She’s the Man Movie
This movie is based very loosely on 12th Night by Shakespeare. I watched the actual movie 12th Night first so when I saw She’s the Man, I put it together that it was based on it. Basically this movie is about this pair of twins, a boy and a …
A Low Down Dirty Shame Movie

Shame …
Vampire in Brooklyn,1995 movie
I guess the problem with this movie is that it cannot decide what it is: a horror or comedy. It is not scary enough to for the former and not funny enough for the latter. Eddie Murphy is playing the main character (and Eddie is not exactly vampire material, …
Pitch Perfect 2, movie
The most awaited continuation of the Pitch Perfect is out! Pitch Perfect 2 is about the a cappella group Barden Bellas and their journey after winning the competition from the first movie of Pitch Perfect which gave the group and its members fame. I would not make it long so …
Pride and Prejudice movie
Just yesterday I watched the new “Pride and Prejudice” on the CD, the movie didn’t live up to my expectations it was not all that good. The book gives sharp description of each character. Elizabeth is described as a beautiful intelligent girl but kiera knightly looked more like Joe …

13 Ghosts is a movie about 13 Ghosts in a special house, trapped away until…yeah, that’s the clencher…until someone and something comes along to provoke a very special event. 13 Ghosts was really hard for me to watch because it moved so quickly and the ghostly visions were here …
Mirrors 2008 DVD

The Accidental Tourist movie
After watching this movie I started to be a great fan of William Hurt’s acting abilities. I must say that I also observed his performance in the more recent “The Good Shepard” and it seems that Hurt hasn’t lost his touch! Unfortunately, although “The Accidental Tourist” is all about …
Daffy Duck’s Quack Busters
I loaded another Looney Tunes Cartoon on our Netflix Player the other day for our daughter “Daffy Duck’s Quack Busters.” It was an OK movie but not as good as I expected.
When I loaded it, I figured it would be a cute spoof of the show Ghost Busters, or at …

The first time I watched this movie was when I was either watching a documentary about either the actor Tobey Maguire or the actor Leonardo DiCaprio. However, I can remember recalling that I had never heard of that movie and would someday like to watch it, as it starred …
17 Again movie
The choice of actor Zack Efron to do the movie ‘17 Again’ really caught me by surprise. After finish working on the last movie of ‘High School Musical’, Efron declared that he wanted to work on movies with far more challenging roles. In all honestly, I found that there …
A Friendship in Vienna movie
This movie premiered on The Disney Channel in 1988, but it is still one of the best movies that was ever shown on that network. Thirteen year Inge Dournenvald and Lise Mueller are best friends in Vienna, Austria. This is an amazing thing, because it is 1938, …
The Man With Two Brains movie
This film features Steve Martin, in a time where he was probably the funniest man in the whole world, as the brain surgeon who falls in love with a brain without a body (!) during a trip to Austria.
A quite bizarre that is totally dependent on the performance by …
Rush Hour 2
I am reviewing the movie, Rush Hour 2 starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Chris plays Carter, a loudmouth, no nonsense, comedic cop. Jackie plays Lee, a hardworking, serious, dedicated detective from Hong Kong. The second movie starts out with the two actors enjoying some …
That Old Feeling (1997 Film)
A movie that combines love, growth, realization of the importance of life and a large dose of comedy from a dynamic cast including Bette Midler, is not a movie I would want to pass up. Nor would I think anyone else would either. The 1997 film “That Old Feeling” …
Moulan Rouge movie
Moulan Rouge is the kind of movie that people either really love or really hate. It is a musical but contains no original music. Normally I would think this was a weakness, but the theme of the movie is a nightclub that caters to a generation of young people …
Constantine Movie
In the name of all that is horror…don’t waste your time or money with Constantine. It’s a joke, no, less than a joke, it’s utter rubbish. Keanu Reeves has gotten to be a tired, boring actor who NEEDS to add some spice to his roles/characters. The plot of the …
Justice League
At the start of the millennium, there has been a resurgence of DC animations. Before they were being trampled upon by their counterpart, Marvel Comics, DC now is like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
In 2004, I got the chance to watch a group of DC superheroes lumped …
The Hannah Montana Movie
My daughter loves Hannah Montana (even though she rarely watches the show) so we ended up renting Hannah Montana: The Movie for her. Turns out she barely even sat through the beginning but at least my wife and I ended up loving it.
I actually kind of like the show …
Number 23
Although Jim Carrey is known for his comedy movies, he did an amazing job in this movie. I was a little reluctant because I didn’t know how good he would be in this type of movie and the previews looked good I was a little worried about him being …
The Da Vinci Code
The Da Vinci Code with Tom Hanks, Ian McKellen, Alfred Molina, and Jean Reno.
