An American Haunting
An American Haunting is a good movie, supposedly to be based on a true story about John Bell and his family. I was watching it with some friends and my boyfriend, and we were all ready to get spooked or something. Instead, the movie turned out pretty …

Being a big fan of the Asian horror genre it was only a matter of time before I checked out the film Infection. All the things I love about Asian horror are present and accounted for in this film by Masayuki Ochiai. Like many films of this …

Funny Games movie (American Remake) 2008
I was a bit apprehensive about whether this remake would be as good as the original. But then I realize that this film was made by the same director. It is then that I realized that all the nuances were the same as the first …
Seventh Son, Movie
Boasting an impressive cast, and based on the book, A Spook’s Apprentice by Joseph Delaney, there were high hopes amongst many for this film. Early trailers showed some promise, but the delays in production, followed by a weak showing at the box office, hint at the real quality, or lack …
Cinemark 12 Theatre in Rockwall
This theatre is located at the Harbor in Rockwall. It is in a great location since there are a lot of different restaurants around it.
Right at one of the front doors, though, there are some arcade games and quarter prize machines inside. So when you walk in there …
Jurassic Park
I saw this movie as a kid and since then have seen it many times with equal interest every time. It is one of the most brilliantly animated movies I have ever seen. The 3D graphics make each and every Dinosaur spring to life on the screen, and …
Feature Film “The Reaping”
I first saw this film when it came on tv. The subject seemed interesting and although I am not a Hillary Swank fan in any way I decided to give it a try because the plot sounded really different. Hillary plays a woman who was once a …
Nightmare on Elm Street the remake (2010 Film)
While I never saw the original movie of Nightmare on Elm Street, I have to say that the remake was for the most part enjoyable in the realm of horror movies. This film also made me want to watch the original film so that I would have something to …
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
This is probably one of my fewest most favorite films of all time! Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind is a fictional movie that basically gravitates around the idea about love. Played by the phenomenal Jim Carrey as Joel Barish and the versatile Kate Winslet as Clementine. The plot …
Movie: “Evan Almighty” (2007)
This movie was a sequel to the 2003 comedy classic “Bruce Almighty”, but it did absolutely no justice to “Bruce”. “Evan Almighty” was sheer disappointment from start to finish.
The usually hilarious Steve Carell returns as Evan Baxter, his character from the first movie. In this film, he has just …
Somewhere movie
I’ve seen many bad movies lately. When I got to see “Somewhere” even if it was a movie for what I have waited a long time. I watched it from inertia. But the movie got me on the wrong foot.
Johnny Marco (played by Stephen Dorff) is a famous action …
Belle (historical drama movie)
I love watching historical movies, and that is why I was so eager to see “Belle” after I had seen the trailer only months before it was released. What piqued my interest about it even more was that it was supposed to be based on the story revolving around a …
Torture Garden dvd
I honestly did not expect much from this movie as soon as I saw the title. However, I decided to try it anyway, and was actually quite surprised to see that it wasn’t have as bad as I expected when I watched it. While I expected that it would …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday
I have always been a fan of the television show Mr. Bean. I enjoyed the first Mr.Bean movie and I must say Mr. Bean’s Holiday is far better and funnier than the first one! Mr. Bean is played by the British actor, Rowan Atkinson. His adventure began when Mr. …

My grandson just HAD to see Chicken Little on DVD. We rented it for him, but the entire family enjoyed this DVD immensely! Yes, it does start with the acorn hitting Chicken Little on the head, and he ran to the tower to ring the alarm bell for emergencies …
Movie Cars
Cars is a rip-roarin’ ride of animated fun. It is an incredibly wonderful film about a race car with an attitude and no friends as a result. All Lightning McQueen wants is to win the big race and be the champion. He believes he’s the best …
Sweeney Todd
I just put Sweeney Todd into my DVD player again. I absolutely love this movie; there is something about Johnny Depp singing operatically while slitting someone’s throat that is just captivating. I think Tim Burton did brilliantly with this movie. Across the front of the DVD …
Autumn in New York
Autumn in New York is a mediocre romantic movie with an element of drama. The movie has Richard Gere and Winona Ryder playing the lead roles. It is the story of a man who falls in love with a very ill woman. I watched this movie on cable and …
Predators (2010): the movie
Predators, a big-budget blockbuster in the predator versus alien series, is different from the other films in that it takes place on a distant planet. In the previous predator versus alien titles, the action took place on earth, with both the aliens and predators being visitors on our …

Snakes on a Plane, David Ellis Movie
‘Snakes on a Plane’ (SoaP) is one of the internet phenomenon in the beginning. Long before released, this movie becomes the subject of debate and discussion, which is quite warm. And it is quite a trick successfully. ‘SoaP’ successfully occupies the first rank Box Office when released.

Glitter Movie
Review of the movie Glitter. 2001.
Starring Mariah Carey, Max Beesley.
No wonder screenplay writer Kate Lanier took a four-year hiatus after her work on Glitter. I’m just surprised she didn’t have extensive plastic surgery, change her name, and flee the country in disgrace. Fortunately for her however, there is plenty …
Movie House of Wax
I was a bit bored last night but wasn’t quite ready for bed so i decided to sit down and watch the 1953 film House of Wax with Vincent Price.

Aliens (1986)
Ripley returns to fight off an army of aliens, but this time she’s backed up by a whole host of gun toting hombres.
The tagline of this film pretty much sums the plot up; “this time its war”, and for the most part, that’s what this film is; a war …
The Thomas Crown Affair (1999 version)
I believe that Pierce Bronsnan is mostly known for his interpreation in the James Bond movies, however I think that “The Thomas Crown Affair” is a great movie project for this actor. I believe that Brosnan interpreation of the role of Thomas Crown with a good mix of charm, …
No Regret / Hoo-hoi-ha-ji Hanh-a, Lee Song Hee Il Movie

Contagion ( 2011 Movie )
How do you fit 3 Oscar Best Actress in a movie? The movie Contagion is the answer to that. It is difficult to find Academy Award Winners in the same movie. Gwyneth Paltrow ( Best Actress for Shakespeare in Love in 1998 ), Marion Cotillard ( La Vie En Rose …

Nell movie
Nell is the film where award-winning actress Jodie Foster first tries her hand at directing, so I thought it should be worth watching. It has such a weird premise; a woman is raised without any human companion and brought up in the wild. The lady of course …

So the basic over view of this movie is supposed to be about a girl named Debbie who finds a ouija board in her house, and decides to play with it. She wakes up evil spirits in her house, who then end up murdering her. Her bestfriend, Laine, can’t …
I Stand Alone
What a very dark, terribly grim, and utterly nihilistic movie! This was, more or less, my initial reaction after watching Gaspar Noe’s shocking film, I Stand Alone, just recently.
Upon further reflection, though, I realized that if I were to objectively appreciate the film’s worth, I would say that it …
Babysitter Wanted Horror movie
I am reveiwing the new Horror movie “Babysitter Wanted”. At first I thought this movie was going to be more like a Halloween Micke Myers kind of movie but when I beheld the child with the horns in the top of his head i was more than flabbergasted.
Initially …
Taken the movie
I was first attracted to watch the movie “Taken” when I learned that Liam Neeson was heading the cast: I’ve always had a high regard for his acting ability and innate charm. Adding to the attraction for me was the fact that Luc Besson, the French film director, was …

Possession by Gwyneth Paltrow

Happy Face Murders
Just by looking on the title of the film, one can be able to tell that it is not something to be taken seriouly like a normal thriller or suspense movie would. However, when I first saw the movie was when I was over my relative’s house one Saurday …
