Movie: “Stand By Me” (1986)
This movie is based on the novella “The Body” by Stephen King. I was very happy to see that, for once, the movie closely followed the original story; and actually did it justice.
It’s 1960 in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine; and a boy named Ray Brower has …
Ratatouille
Ratatouille is an animated movie about a rat called Remy. The great thing about Remy is, although he is a rat with a destiny to live in a dirty environment, he loves to cook, which absolutely needs a clean environment. This movie is about Remy’s journey to be a …
Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince
I happen to be HUGE Harry Potter fan, and I was so excited to go see the new movie this Sunday. In the past, I didn’t quite get how good these books were, but my cousin who happened to own the first three books made me read them one summer …
“White Countess” starring Natasha Richardson
I really enjoyed the 2005 movie “White Countess.” The movie stars Natasha Richardson as Countess Sofia Belinskya and Russian Countess expatriated to Shanghai after the 1917 Russian Revolution. To support herself and her extended family Sofia works as a dance hall girl and sometimes prostitute. Despite her efforts her …
Movie: Stripes
Synopsis: Two men, who are fed up with their jobs and their lives, decide to enlist in the army. The only problem is, they really don’t seem to fit in there either.
What I liked about this movie: I have seen this film dozens of times and it never gets …
Movie Joe Dirt (2001)
Ever since David Spade joined the crew of Saturday Night Live in 1990, he has been one of my favorite comedians of all time. I watched him go from Saturday Night Live to Just Shoot Me, all the while doing projects on the big screen as well. When the …
Assault on Precinct 13, movie (1976)
As a director, John Carpenter has made it no secret how much Westerns have had an influence on his work. His classic films like Escape from New York and They Live have elements and utilize cliches from the Western genre. While his first film was the comedic …
Office Space: The Movie
Do you ever have those days at work where all the technology in the place just seems to be going wrong!?.. The internet is down, the fax machine isn’t working…AGAIN!, or the copier just keeps sending out paper, after paper, after paper…?
Office Space is a hilarious, kick back movie …
Gone Girl (psychological thriller movie)
Gone Girl certainly was not at the top of my list of movies to watch since I heard that the actors Tyler Perry and Ben Affleck would be playing a major role in it. For one it sounded like a terrible combination because I’ve always thought that Ben Affleck came …
Just Go With It movie
Just Go With It —“ I was charmed by the two main characters but the plot was totally implausible!
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston bring style and so much charisma to this predictable story - or at least the ending was predictable —“ the rest of it was mind boggling …
The Whisperer in Darkness Film
The movies based on the works of the great master of horror H.F. Lovecraft generally, I think, are complete tragedy, because the directors usually ignore the atmosphere that makes the stories of this author special and put a greater emphasis on the excess ketchup blood and the monsters, losing …
Billie film
From 1965, Billie is a lighthearted family film about a tomboy’s transformation to a young girl. Along the way, the athletic teenager ends up on the high school track team, much to the chagrin of many.
Patty Duke stars as Billie. With her hair cut short and died …
Movie The Ruins
I was quite disturbed by watching the movie, The Ruins. It is a gore story and in fact, filled with too much gore that made the story loses its plot, personally to me. Honestly speaking, I think this story makes Jeepers Creepers seem like nothingness. But …
Beauty and the Beast
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is my all-time favorite animated movie. It is indeed a timeless cinema classic. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this movie but I never get tired of watching it over and over again. It’s the story of a prince who was turned …
Constant Gardener movie
If you went by the description on the back of the movie, the Constant Gardener is the best thriller to ever come to DVD. But, had there been anything better on television, I would have turned the movie off after the first 30 minutes.
Set in Africa, Justin Quayle, a …
Leroy & Stitch movie
I’m always glad when it’s my daughter’s turn to pick a movie because I know I’m usually going to find one that we will all enjoy.
Watching Leroy & Stitch last night is a perfect example.
In what I think is going to be the final sequel to the original Lilo …
National Treasure 2

Knocked Up
Knocked Up is an honest, down-to-earth movie about a one-night stand gone terribly wrong. From its title, you can sense the bluntness that is also throughout the film. The dialogue it truly funny and easy to associate with because it feels like stuff your friends would really say in …
Midnight Lace movie
In 1960, Doris Day starred in a mystery thriller called Midnight Lace. It’s definitely more intense and dramatic than what Day was known for traditionally. She handles the work very well; it’s just not my kind of movie. Day, in fact, was nominated for Best Actress …

Love Comes Softly
‘Love Comes Softly’ is the first of a series of movies based on books by Janette Oke, a popular Christian author. Janette Oke writes romance, and romance is considered to be a ‘women’s genre’. However, I wouldn’t call this movie a ‘women’s movie.’ I watched it together with my …

A Love Song For Bobby Long (R, 2004) movie
I really wanted to like this movie starring Scarlett Johansson. She’s a pretty good actress. And for her to be so young, she is really good at depicting different types of characters with great depth. This story surrounds the living situation Purslane Will (Johansson) she …
Big Momma House 1 & 2
The films, Big Momma House 1 and 2 are a huge tribute to the bravery of the actor, Martin Lawrence. I believe that Martin Lawrence is one of the best comedians of our time along with Rowan Atkinson.
In “Big Momma House” we see Lawrence interpret the role of FBI …
Doomsday, science fiction thriller film
This is one of those movies that you skipped when it was released in theaters. Doomsday might have come out at the wrong time or the trailers didn’t look very appetizing. With the movie being released on video, should you take a look at this film or should you …
Meet the Spartans
I’m slowly becoming more disappointed with the way comedy movies are going in the United States. There was a time where I could go to the movies (a comedy) and find myself laughing hysterically for a good hour and a half. Now I find myself staring at the screen …

License to Wed
I didn’t know that License to Wed is a fun movie to watch. Unfortunately, I caught it on DVD rather than from the cinema itself, but it’s better than nothing.
This movie stars Mandy Moore (my favorite actress), and in this movie, she is known as Sadie. She …

Alien (1979)
The original and, in my honest opinion, without doubt the best of the series; Alien not only stands the test of time in its own genre, but in the landscape of film altogether.
While Alien has hardly been short changed by the critics and a vast audience, there are …

Mean Girls 2 Movie (2011)
