Redbelt movie
I watched this movie recently on one of the movie channels. Overall it was a pretty good movie. Honestly I felt like it is a movie that has good things and bad things in it. One of the good things about this movie is it is a unique movie. …
Julie Johnson (NR, 2001) movie
I rented this because I am a huge Lili Taylor fan. She has something that other actresses don’t have which is guts. She’s not conventionally pretty, but always manages to look so in her films. At any rate, this story is about a housewife …
Homeward Bound
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Homeward Bound. I am a huge fan of dogs, and so this movie was perfect for me. I love it. Homeward Bound is about a family of three kids, Peter, Hope, and Jaime. Each kid has a pet. Peter has a Golden …
Funny Games movie
A highly provocative film by the german controversial filmmaker Michael Haneke. This director keeps shocking the audience with his unpredictable narratives, which aren’t necessarily showing much of violence, but in a way Haneke challenges the viewers and shows no compassion for his characters. In Funny Games we see two …
Sanctum Movie
This movie really interested and intrigued me since I love swimming and everything outdoors and my husband was a licensed diver himself, and we wanted to watch this since we thought we could relate to the movie, and we did. The movie is called Sanctum and they say the …
Diary of the Dead, horror film
George A. Romero is known for his Dead series. When Romero has nobody pressuring him with his films the finished product is usually amazing. With nobody breathing down his neck with his fifth Dead movie will long time fans find a reason to adventure with the living dead again? …
Madagascar 2
I recently had a go at Madagascar 2 since the release of the first one. I remember the tons of popular names in the show that I really didn’t know who at that point of time.

The Departed movie
Whenever Martin Scorsese comes out with a new film, I can’t help but become excited, and The Departed did not disappoint. Scorsese brings his wonderful cinematic vision we have seen in such movies of his as Goodfellas and the Raging Bull. The filmaking is also excellent which …
X Men cartoon series
The X men cartoon TV show is very good. I really love this show. This is probably one of the most exciting and action packed TV shows ever made. And I use to wake up early just to see it every Saturday morning.

Pollard serves as the host of The …
The Puppet Masters
The Puppet Masters is one of those movies that you have to laugh at. And laugh at quite a bit because not only is the plot totally far fetched, but the acting and script and production are so completely awful, the movie is little more than a joke! The …
The New Daughter movie 2009
On my rotten fruit throwing list, this one ranks pretty high, but it’s not the worst I hever ever seen.

Slumdog Millionaire (movie)

Columbo: It’s All in the Game movie
Columbo: It’s All in the Game is rather memorable for a couple of reasons. Of course, there’s the great portrayal of the lead character by Peter Falk, but that’s constant throughout the entire history of the series. Rather, the wonder of this specific episode is Faye Dunaway …
The Fifth Element
I know many people love this movie. Even the grade school pupils adore this. But please count me out. This movie I think has overdone it’s attempt to illustrate something in a deeper sense to the point it appeared obscure.
Because of the way the …

The Truman Show
Fifteen years ago, what takes place in this movie would have seemed impossible. Today, with all kinds of reality shows imaginable, it is eerily realistic. The main character, a young man named Truman (Jim Carrey), is an unsuspecting star of a big reality show. Since his birth, he had …
Because I said so
I watch ‘Because I said so’ with my mom, which was nice since I realized that my mom wasn’t that bad comparing to the people out there. The movie is about a mom and her three daughters’ and how the first two is happily married while the last one …
Artic Tale (2007)
This is a wonderful animal movie for both children and adults. I guess you could say it is a true story as nature photographers filmed it up in the artic (the animals are not trained acting animals - they are the real thing). Words were added to the picture …
James Bond - Lots of Quantum, No Solace
I am extremely disappointed! To the point of almost tears… So i finally got a chance to go see the latest Bond film, the Quantum of Solace…and Daniel Craig has managed to, single handedly, make me scream in agony.
I definately agree witih sir Roger Moore …
The Rival movie
Once again, I found myself watching a movie on the Lifetime movie network last night and found myself enjoying it.

The DaVinci Code (Movie)
I really wanted to like the DaVinci Code, mainly because I loved the book so much and read it multiple times. That said, I just couldn’t get into this movie. When I tried to watch the DVD, I ended up putting it in at least 4-5 times before I …
Meet the Robinsons
Lately, when I’ve seen a Disney cartoon, I’ve been very disappointed in it. It seems Disney makes an effort to make a children’s cartoon but, in the interest of attracting an older crowd, always tries to make the cartoon more adult. The end result is nobody really enjoys it.
Meet …

Sucker Punch (2011) Movie
It is odd that I read the synopsis of a movie, get interested in it and then watch it, only to be disappointed in the end. The synopsis for the movie on Netflix calls it a “mind warping action thriller”. Then on top of that very attractive statement it …
Freedom Writers (movie)
Freedom Writers stars Hilary Swank as the teacher who goes into a system that is doomed and comes out on top. Hilary Swank is awesome as Erin, and she does not disappoint at all in this role. Another thing that I really like about Freedom Writers is that it …
Full Metal Jacket
Full Metal Jacket is one of the most powerful and hard hitting war movies ever made. The late Stanley Kubrick is a genius and he shows us that in this movie. Right of the bat, we are shown how brutal and shocking just the basic training is …

Disney’s Robin Hood
Anyone who knows me knows what a huge fan of the Robin Hood legend I am. Those same people know what a huge Disney fan I am also. I should be in hog heaven then, when, along comes the marriage of both into one feature animated film.

The mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Rick O’Connell is back but this time, without his original lady love “Edie” (Rachel Weisz) I had mixed emotions regarding this latest installment. While I love Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, I feel that they should not have made another one. In any case, this is my review:
The plot: …
Wedding Crasher
This is another romantic comedy movie that I like. Watching Wedding Crashers makes me laugh and touch in a same time.
