I have heard of the movie The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother before but, even though it has been around as long as I have (about 35 years), I have never really taken the time to watch it. This should come as a surprise to many because I …

Bill wakes up in an isolation cell in a mental institution. He can’t remember exactly what he is doing there, only fragments seem to be remembered. A nurse tells him he’s been involved in a car crash, but Bill won’t take that as an answer. Why would they put …

“It Might Get Loud” is a rockumentary about the history of electric guitar divided in three eras, from the perspective of three
influential Rock’n’Roll guitarists. Namely Jimmy Page, the Edge and Jack White.
Directors Dave Guggenheim and Jimmy Page drive us into the lifes and backgrounds of the three artists’ relationships …

Director Jason Reitman, in his third feature (after “Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking”) delivers “Up in the Air,” a more heartfelt and poignant effort than either of its predecessors-stylized in a similar way, but much more honest in its pathos-tinged comedy. It works better for me story-wise because …

Wedding Date is one of my favorite romantic movie. I was able to buy a copy of it when I was at a local DVD store and the cover got my eyes so I decided to buy it. I like the movie so much because it a good film …

The beauty of individual things is undeniable only in our heads. Someone is sure that he ties his shoelaces beautifully or hangs stuff in the closet. The Italian Paolo Sorrentino is not sure of anything. He knows. He knows how to beautifully shoot a girl by the pool, shaving her …

In the movie story, Serendipity, I think the collaboration of John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale truly rock!
They are both extremely suited for each other in this movie and their characters together had a great amount of chemistry. You just have to see this movie to know what …

Welcome is a story about gangsters who are looking for a groom for their sister, although they are gangsters they are looking for a simple, honest man with neat character so that their sister can be married to him and live a neat life. The story has a lot …

I just watched this movie (Death Race) an hour ago. Before I watch this movie, I totally have no idea what are the plot and the main actor. It starts with cars racing, not nice sport cars but metal, modified cars with many functions which one car keeps shooting …

I don’t particularly like movies with Jennifer Aniston in them. But I will be the first to admit that more and more her films are growing on me. This is only because the three I’ve seen (Derailed, Friends w/ Money, and The Good Girl) provided me with …

Flashbacks of a Fool is a film which tells an intimate human story of squandered chances, life changing mistakes and misplaced choices. Daniel Craig plays Joe Scot, a Hollywood actor living a life of excess who is losing his grip on the things that should matter in his life. …

Since it’s looking like a strong contender for Best Picture at the next Oscars, and because it was the only movie I’ve actually been even moderately excited about seeing in a long time, here’s my review of David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” a film based on a book chronicling …

I love baseball, and I love musicals, so naturally, I love Damn Yankees! Tab Hunter was awesome as a young Joe Hardy, the man who made a deal with the devil that allowed him to play for his beloved New York Yankees. It’s an engrossing sports tale …

I read about “Bubble” on some of the movie forums that I frequent. It seemed to be one of those love it or hate it movies. It also seemed like a movie that didn’t have a huge budget, almost no special effects and an improv-style script. Against my better …

What a scary thought. Lost your wife, then lose your only child, right before your eyes. If this wasn’t an animated feature, that would be a shocking premise, not a heartwarming one.
But I think this film’s subject matter was handled in a toned-down way, balanced between the search for …

Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban contains spoilers.
I first watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on ABC Family in March 2008. Even though it took a little getting used to because it looked so different from the first two films, it has …

I have been following the Academy Award seasons for three years now. Most of the time they nominate my favorite films of the year. And sometimes, during my early stages of paying attention to the nominated films, I was able to discover beautiful gems that I wasn’t able to see. …

What’s the deal with these so called Horror Movies that are being made these days. Do they know the meaning of Horror? Correct me if i’m wrong…but shouldn’t a horror movie scare you? The rating for a typical horror is usually PG-13. How the hell can this be horror, …

I’m normally a Will Smith fan and I think the fact he stars in the movie Wild Wild West is the reason I find myself enjoying it; even when many others think it’s a weak film.
I used to watch the television show with my grandfather so I know quite …

I watched the movie Push last weekend with some friends. I really liked the movie. It was much better than I was expecting. Dakota Fanning is such an amazing actress. She was an amazing child actress and I think she may be an even better adult actress. She is …

When I first saw the previews for this movie I was not excited at ALL. I thought there was no way this could be a good movie. The animation looked really awkward from what I could tell and I also thought that 3-D went out of style …

Like nearly everyone else at the time Avatar came out, I entered the theater with high expectations that were blown up by well-done trailers and shining reviews. The artistry within the CGI seemed so phenomenal, and the teases for the story seemed interesting. So perhaps my disappointment with …

When it comes to car chase movies, Fast and Furious movies have taken them to a whole new level. While they don’t really fall under some of my favorite films that I go out of my way to watch, they have great looking cars and cool car chases to …

I’ll be honest, The Punisher wasn’t one of those movies that I was dying to see or in fact even wanted to see. That all changed when I went over to my brother’s house. He had rented this movie from blockbuster and we decided to watch it. I am …

I thought this is going to be another boring chick flick, but looking at the cast; with Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore, I knew deep inside that it is definitely a babes galore! And I’m right. Even if you don’t love this story plot, for guys …

My daughter loves Tom & Jerry cartoons. So, when I saw I could load the hour-long movie Tom & Jerry: The Magic Ring on our Netflix player for her, I did.
I ended up watching it with her last night and it was an OK cartoon but I guess I’m …

I give this movie five stars. After leaving the theater, I wiped the tears out of my eyes and headed to the nearest place I could buy the soundtrack. Don’t mistake me, this is not a sappy movie, but it does pull on your emotions. After a month of …

I saw this movie yesterday on HBO there is no really story line in this movie. But it has got some amazing dance numbers in it. I did entirely got what kind of dancing was that. But I like it very much there are couple are very funny and …

This is by far one of Leonardo di Caprio’s best films along with “The Departed”. I particularly liked the way “Blood Diamonds” was filmed and, as a mother of a small kid, I was very much impressed with scenes were kids were ordered to kill their enemies. I just …

I was promted to buy this movie after writing a memorial poem for those that were on the plane that crashed on 9-11. The movie was so close to the actual event that I found myself wishing that the outcome was different than what we all know. …

The classic and very influential horror film by Alfred Hitchcock centres around a desolated woman who commits a crime and has to flee from the police. She ends up on Bate’s Motel, which is owned by a nervous young man and his mother. The rest shouldn’t be revealed here. …

I think The AmityVille Horror remake that was done in 2005 was pretty good. I mean most of the movie was just great and it scared the hell out of me. Now I think the best thing about the movie is that it shows you a lot of things that …

The Grind is a work out video. It is fifty minutes long, and it includes a warm up, cardio, then a cool down. I like the grind in a way, as I love to dance, and this video teaches you a new dance routine. But the grinds dance moves …

Since I don’t have time to sit down and read the books, my only knowledge of Harry Potter is through the movies. And, I have to say the movies aren’t getting better as the series progresses.
I had high hopes for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because …

He’s Just Not that Into You is a romance movie about love from Sex in The City book. You’ll get to see famous actors like Justin Long, Drew Barrymore, Kevin Connolly, Jenifer Aniston,Ginnifer Goodwin and Ben Affleck.
The movie is pretty much about whether the boys they like will …

Living Out Loud is a very nice 2009 (though it was filmed in 2008) Hallmark movie about a woman who discovers she has breast cancer. The film follows her discovery, treatment, decisions, and recovery.
Gail O’Grady turns in a powerful performance as Emily Marshall, teacher, mother, and wife, who …

Overall, I like The Feminine Touch, a classic movie from 1941. It’s a bit of a comedy with dramatic undertones. Rosalind Russell stars as Julie Hathaway, the wife of an aspiring author, who is preparing his manuscript about jealousy and how wrong it is. Don Ameche …

In Her Shoes made me like Cameron Diaz. For whatever reasons, I have never been impressed with this actor and just didn’t think that much of her. In Her Shoes changed my mind. While I still do not consider Cameron Diaz to be one of my favorite actors, she …

We All Scream for Ice Cream is easily one of the oddest movies in the Masters of Horror series. This one stars William Forsythe as a clown who drives an ice cream truck. If you think that he is the one who is torturing people, you’d only be partly …

A totally demented Paul Naschy film that, to my knowledge, was the last of the shambling, old school style mummy movies featuring a rampaging, bandaged monster.
Paul plays the role of the Mummy as well as the Mummy’s evil assistant and he does so to the hilt. A very violent …

I’m always trying to find classic cartoons for my daughter to watch after school on our Netflix player. This recently led me to load a Bugs Bunny movie called Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.
