Pocahontas

Rush Hour (1998)
What is there to say about Rush Hour? Well, it’s probably the funniest films I have ever watched. With actors Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, this movie has the perfect combination of comedy and action. A must see for any fan of this genre.
Rush Hour is about a Chinese …
Batman Begins (Movie)
Everyone I knew told me to go see Batman Begins because they thought I would love it. I’m a fan of comic books, and I own nearly every comic book themed movie in the world. Still I could tell from the previews that it was a movie I just …

Chick flick alert! This movie is centered around for basically cheerleading girls who, through a secret test in their school passed to become a group of spies. The test itself is designed to test the candidates’ abilities to fight, lie, cheat and kill. Needless to say, these four passed …
Clash of the Titans Movie

I …

“Man of Steel” movie
I’m a big fan of Superman, as such I was looking forward to seeing this. I was worried at first as the production was rushed, but they got a great cast together and had a solid team behind the camera. The trailers themselves also did a good …
Shall We Dance? (2004)
A masterful love story about ones passion, this movie is not only about love for another person, it is also about the love that a person has for what that person is doing and in this case, it is all about dancing. Yes, just as the title says, this …
Jingle All the Way
Christmas is just around the corner and the television networks are getting a jump start on the season by playing plenty of holiday movies. I came across one the other day I haven’t seen in a while; Jingle All the Way.
This one was actually about as funny as I …
Sucker Punch (2011 Film)
Sucker Punch is one of those movies that you have to watch with an open mindset. The jest of this movie, for the most part, isn’t going to come to you quickly. To the plain eye, it looks like a fantasy chick flick with vivid graphics. I can be honest …
Shadowlands Movie
This sad and touching movie is based on the true story of C.S.Lewis and his wife, Joy. C.S.Lewis (Anthony Hopkins), a life long bachelor, meets Joy (Debra Winger) when he is about fifty. They meet through letters: Joy is one of C.S.Lewis’ many readers, and she wrote to him …
Katie Leung as Cho Chang
I still don’t understand why JK Rowling had insisted that the actress to play Cho Chang had to be an ‘unknown’. There are a lot of Asian actresses around who would have been perfect for the role. I think they made a mistake in choosing her. Aside from not …
Batman Begins (2005 film)
The 2005 film “Batman Begins” starring Christian Bale and Katie Holmes, along with a cast of other remarkably talented actors, gave me some very new light on Batman and what he stands for. I really got swept up in Bruce Wayne’s life and saw for myself the reasons behind …

Lucky Number Sleven
The Kansas City Shuffle. I would love to go up to a random man, waiting in a bus station, only to talk about the Kansas City Shuffle, as Bruce Willis did at the beginning of this wonderful movie. I enjoy every single movie that I’ve seen with Bruce Willis, …

Jack and the Beanstalk movie
I had been a while since I’ve watched the Abbott and Costello movie “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Since I wanted to introduce my daughter to it, I figured I would watch it with her last night.
It was even better than I thought it would be.
Even when compared to movies …

Brotherhood of the Wolf-(Le Pacte Des Loups)- (2001)
Usually I don’t enjoy watching foreign films with characters I am unfamiliar with. However, I decided to give this one a try. The plot seemed very interesting. There is a beast terrorizing the countryside and killing innocent villagers. Two unlikely heroes show up to investigate and solve the mystery …
The Sex in the City movie
I don’t know that they necessarily needed to make a move, but I’m glad they did. Sure, it wasn’t the greatest movie of all time, but it was enjoyable if you are a Sex in the City fan like I am. Now, I would be wary for younger viewers …
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a hidden gem of a movie. Jim Carey, in my opinion, gives the best performance of his career and funny enough, this isn’t a comedic role. Some of the movie has comedic relief, but this is in no way a …
Roadkill
I watched this movie story, Roadkill on TV twice when it was telecast some time last year on my local TV channel.
It starred my favorite actor Paul Walker and a great acting by him and also Steve Zahn and Leelee Sobieski. I watched alone the first time …
Space Cowboys
I haven’t seen the movie Space Cowboys since my wife and I saw it years ago on one of our first dates together (we can’t remember if it was the first or second movie we ever saw together). So, when it came on a couple nights ago, I figured …
Film: American Gangster
American Gangster…..a good movie. Unfortunatley thats all it is, and all it ever will be. In the Pantheon of Great Gangster Films, this should have been its most recent entry. Instead it falls into the Pantheon of Films that Need A Little More Work. I was so let down …
Around the World in Eighty Days movie
The classic story by Jules Verne about a an english adventurer who takes a bet of him travelling around all the world in as little as 80 days (which was very, very little once). This version of the story has been hailed as the best one, but I can’t …
Happily N’ever After DVD
We just bought this on DVD. It looked kind of funny, but I honestly wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised.
George Carlin, Sigourney Weaver, Andy Dick, Freddie Prince Jr. and others lend their voices to the cast. Which, by the way, really was beautifully cast!
The animation …
Man of the year movie
Man of the year is a movie staring Robin Williams as a late night comedian who decides to run for president after a member of the audience suggest it. No one really thought he had a chance, however through a glitch with the new Delacroy voting machines he …

I am reviewing the movie, As Good as it Gets, starring Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, and Greg Kinnear. This movie focuses around Jack Nicholson’s character, Melvin, who is an obsessive compulsive, rude, inconsiderate human being with many other problems. His neighbor is Simon, played by Greg Kinnear, a …
Green Mansions: A Film by Mel Ferrer (1959)
I don’t ever recall seeing an Audrey Hepburn movie in TCM —“ the channel for classic films. Since the movies shown in the channel are largely MGM titles, my theory tells me Audrey Hepburn had simply not played any motion picture produced by this grand movie empire. …
Session 9 (2001 movie)
“Session 9″ is another one of those little known horror movies that never made it to the big screen, as far as I know. I came across it on cable, and two things about it intrigued me. The lead actor is David Caruso, who I always liked from his …

Smokey Mountain Christmas Movie
A Smokey Mountain Christmas is a movie from the 80s that stars Dolly Parton. It is just a cute, feel good Christmas movie. It kind of has a Snow White and the seven dwarves feel to it. Dolly stars as a popular country singer who wants to get away …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
Yet another summer horror flick from Lionsgate studios, ‘My Bloody Valentine’ is given the increasingly popular 3D treatment, and it works beautifully. The only drawback is that much of the film takes place in dark underground mining shafts and eerie wooded areas at night, which makes it difficult at …
What Women Want,movie
Mel plays a man named Nick Marshall and he has the power to read womens minds. He can hear everything that they are thinking. But he uses his power for the wrong. (The same way any guy would use such powers). It is romantic, funny, and …
Meet the Spartans
With movie theater tickets averaging around 10 dollars, and popcorn, soda and candy averaging all together around 10 dollars as well, that all adds up to a very angry person leaving the “Meet the Spartans” theater. I think I lost brain cells watching that movie. I wanted to throw …

Everyone has a handful of favorite movies that they can just watch over and over again. Well, this happens to be one of mine.

The Marine (PG-13, 2006) movie
If you really really want to see a bad film, look no further than “The Marine” a serious B-movie starring WWE wrestler John Cena. As if having a wrestler headline the film isn’t enough of an indication of this movie’s suckiness they had the nerve to include …
Dr. Strangelove (1964 movie)
I decided to watch this black comedy because one of my friends at school simply would not stop talking about it, I mean I’d never seen one of my friends so transfixed on a movie before. However, after seeing it myself I certainly understood his enthusiasm. This movie is …
Every Secret Thing (2014 Crime Drama Movie)
Even though the movie “Every Secret Thing” seemed to gain a lot of bad and mediocre reviews on popular sites such as Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB, I have to admit that I still enjoyed it. It was by no means perfect, but I think that there were elements of the …
Nanny McPhee
“Nanny McPhee” is a great fantasy movie with a comic touch. This movie shows how great Emma Thompson is, as an actress, and as a script writer.
The story of this movie is about Mr. Cedric Brown, a part excellently interpreted by Colin Firth, who is a widow and has …
Pride
Some times I wonder if Hollywood has given up trying to come up with something original and just keeps rehashing the same plot in a different context.
The movie Pride is a perfect example of this.
Overall, Pride is an OK film. But, it’s the same film I’ve seen 20 times …
Norwegian Wood (2010 film)
Norwegian Wood is the film adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s novel of the same title, directed by Tran Anh Hung and shot in various locations in Japan. It was, I recall, an article about the author in the nytimes —“ a teaser before the release date of …
