Last Man on Earth movie (1964)
One thing I’ve always had a soft spot for is post appocalyptic films, and the 1964 version of the movie “Last Man on Earth” is just that. In fact, the first thing it reminded me of was the most recent version of the movie “I am Legend” starring the …

Ella Enchanted
I’ve always found that, when in doubt, a movie based around a fairy tale will always fill in nicely. In the case of Ella Enchanted, you have a good story complete with a few catchy song and dance numbers.

Focus - Romantic Comedy Movie (2015)
‘Focus’ is a romantic comedy with lots of twists and turns that make the movie enjoyable to watch. Starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, this movie at times plays out like an action film or thriller and definitely had my attention throughout. The screenplay could’ve been executed a little better …
Insurgent Movie (2015)
Insurgent, based on the book of the same name by Veronica Roth, is the sequel to 2014’s Divergent. From the trailers shown, I had hopes that the film would be better than the first. However, it ultimately falls short of expectations and represents a step back for the franchise.
Insurgent starts …
Jarhead movie
It’s not often that I will find a movie so horrible I have to turn it off before I even get halfway through it. This is especially true of war movies. However, Jarhead became one of those films.
When I read the description of the movie and saw the previews, …
Killing Them Softly, crime film
Killing them softly is a crime film that takes the genre completely to another level. The characters and cinematography is top notch however, I found the story to be a bit on the weaker side.

The Boy Who Could Fly (1986)

Movie Taken
Taken (2009) is, without a doubt, the best action movie I’ve seen in years. Everything about the movie shines, from its pitch-perfect acting, to its well-written story and dialogue, to it’s incredible non-stop action sequences.

When a man loves a woman
The best way to describe the movie “When a Man Loves a Woman” is a touching story about alcoholism and how it can break a healthy family apart. Med Ryan’s and Andy Garcia’s interpretation in this movie is simply wonderful. I am sure this movie touched a lot …

Rachel Getting Married (2008 film)
The 2008 movie “Rachel Getting Married” might have had a great cast who fell into the roles of their characters phenomenally, and maybe they have done that too well. Because Anne Hathaway who plays Rachel’s sister, Kim, in the movie, really got on my nerves and I think that …
Movie: Precious
I have seen advertisements for the movie Precious in the past and, from what I saw of them, I figured it would be a movie I would have absolutely no interest in. That’s why it never made my Netflix Queue.

Rush - Movie
After the extraordinary success of “Rocky” sports movies almost invariably follow the stereotypical formula, with slight variations, determined by the taste of the author.

The 70s. The phones have …
Movie Orphan
I really feel like wanting to smack right out of this kid, Esther. The movie is not in a horror genre but more to gory. Orphan the movie, is unexpected and you will be surprised at the revelation. I’m not going to tell you what it is …

Movie An American Crime
This was a very sad but good movie. It was based on a true story. To think that the things really happened in the story to a young girl is sickening and terrifying. If you can take this types of movies I highly recommend watching it, it was an …
James Cameron’s Avatar
Avatar is my favorite movie that I’ve watched all year. Heck, it might even be my all-time favorite. Critics say that it lacks plot, but I highly disagree. Who cares if it’s cliche? All that matters is that the story is well told.
The movie is about an ex-Marine, Jake …
