Jack and Jill (movie)
The first time I had heard of the movie “Jack and Jill” was when I had seen the trailer posted on youtube a little before the movie was released. I wasn’t particularly interested in it then, especially since a couple of people who had watched it in the theatres …
When We Were Soldiers
When We Were Soldiers stars Mel Gibson in one of the best movies I’ve ever seen depicting the Vietnam War. The storyline is great, the scenes are even better. If you are looking for action packed movie then this will definitely not fail you. This must’ve been …
P.S I Love You
I recently went and saw the movie P.S I Love You. It turned out a lot better than I’d thought. I was at first hesitant to see it becaue it did not have good reviews with the critics. However, I turned out to be pleasantly surprised. It was definitely …
Day after Tomorrow
I could watch this movie anytime, any day. I thought it was a brilliant movie. It’s probably one of my favorite movies. It really did keep me very entertained and interested in the movie. Possibly the most entertained in a movie ever. Dennis Quad, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, all …
Anchor Man
I am reviewing the movie, Anchorman, which was released in 2005. This movie stars the ever so funny, sometimes ridiculous Will Ferrell as legendary anchorman Ron Burgandy. Burgandy thinks he is something like a god in San Diego, where he is number one anchorman. Everything seems to be running …
Underdog (2007)
Disney’s remake of the cartoon series into real life with animation. In this movie, a dog assigned to the bomb squad makes his entrance by falsely detecting a bomb that turns out to be a leg of ham. Disgraced by his findings, he left the force after a series …

Freddy vs. Jason (2003) movie
When I was in middle school I was so excited to see this movie but my parents would never allow me to see it because of the gore and violence. So now many years later I decided to buy it just to see if I was missing out on …
Sublime Movie
Sublime is quite possibly the oddest movie I have ever seen in my life. Once the movie ended, I was left feeling very confused and still trying to figure out what happened. Sometimes that is a good thing, like in Momento, but it wasn’t a good thing in this …
Waitress (2007)
A small town woman living a small town life, dreams of leaving her current surrounds in hopes of launching her own bakery and serving up her famous and delectable pies that are dreamed up with kindness and baked with love. Sounds like a very delicious movie huh, but on …
Monty Python’s Meaning of Life Movie
Nearly everyone in the Western world knows about the comedy team of Monty Python. This British comedy troupe, featuring John Cleese and others, if famous for its unusual and offbeat humor. Monty Python came out with the movie Meaning of Life a number of years ago. Like …
Man in the Iron Mask
I am reviewing the movie, Man in the Iron Mask. DiCaprio plays dual roles as King Louis XIV, who is a terrible and unfeeling King of France, and the king’s twin brother, Philippe, who is in prison under an iron mask. He was placed there years ago to …
Braveheart Movie
This is my favorite movie of all time…and a magnificent film directed by and starring Mel Gibson. It tells the true story of a Scotsman fighting for the freedom of his country after his wife was killed by an English lord. It also has a crazed Irishman who claims …
Little Red Riding Hood (1997)
One night, a few years back, I had a case of insomnia. I turned the TV on to the Sundance Channel only to find the short films playing. I was channel surfing and noticed Christina Ricci’s face in black and white. I knew it had to have been older …

Bringing Down The House (2003)
Queen Latifah and funny man Steve Martin come together to try and bring the house down for their viewing audience and guess what? They did a wonderful job, I have no complaints about this movie for two very important reasons 1. it stars very believable characters and 2. it …
The Woman In Black Movie
It is always nice for me to remind myself of the classical English works, especially those who have a slight horror twist. But even better is for the reader, such as myself, to see everything on the screen where the images from the book come to life , and …
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005)

The Lifeguard (2013 Film)
I was curious about the romance drama film The lifeguard, when stumbling across it on the internet movie database website. I was intrigued by the cast list and the controversial storyline. I figured since Kristen Bell was the lead role, the movie would be pretty good since she is a …
Avengers: Age of Ultron (Superhero Film)
Marvel, Marvel, Marvel. The only time a Marvel movie turned out right was when the first Avengers movie came out and even then- way too much action. Avengers: Age of Ultron is one of those movies where the visuals draw you in but the story spits you out. If you …

A classic film by frenchman Jean Renoir. His most famous work alongside The Rules of the Game and The Human Beast. It is an anti-war kind of story set in the first world war. The former master director and actor Erich von Stroheim makes an unforgettable performance as a …
Halloween (2007), slasher film
The director Rob Zombie hasn’t really proven himself with his first two releases, House Of 1000 Corpses and The Devil Rejects. Both movies were mediocre, House Of 1000 Corpses was down right awful. Zombie’s sense of style might not have been ready for the big screen but Dimension Films …
Death Sentence (2007) movie
This movie was filmed right where near I live, so Kevin got alot of attention in my town. So I had to see this movie just to see if I recognized anything in the movie and it actually turned out to be a pretty good movie.
The story is …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Since my favourite director is Peter Jackson, I knew that rain or shine I had to go and see his latest movie “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”. Like Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, it is the first in a trilogy of movies that is to …
Ghost Busters
Who you going to call? Come on now, even if you didn’t grow up in the 1980s, you know the answer to that question; it’s the Ghostbusters.
The movie has been on several times over the weekend and I have to confess, I watched it every time. I couldn’t help …
Legally Blonde movie
I remember first seeing the trailers for “Legally Blonde” when the movie came out in 2001; they promised some laughs, but overall, I wasn’t impressed and did not go to see the movie. Elle, the main character, seemed too “girly” for me: a fashion-freak blonde wearing pink & high …
Sheba, Baby (PG, 1975) movie
If you like blaxploitation films you have probably seen this one already. This one, starring Pam Grier as Sheba is one of the classics—-but not necessarily because of its cinematic greatness. Pam plays a private detective who is helping her father fight mobsters. …
Resident Evil 3: Extinction
Ok. Why does it some like most movies nowadays focus on destroying the world? Well, Resident Evil Extinction presents a barren wasteland of a world, taking place mostly in the desert and Las Vegas. Alice does mildly explain the bare bones …
Bordertown (R, 2007) movie
I don’t usually like J. Lo in films. But where this movie is concerned, I could easily overlook her mediocre acting skills. This movie follows the political red tape surrounding the investigations of hundreds of Mexican women near the U.S. Border. According to the …
The Night Listener
I’m not really sure why but whenever Robin Williams is in a drama, I just can’t take him seriously. The Night Listener was the perfect example of this.
I made a serious effort to watch this movie last night and, though I tried, I just couldn�t get into it. It …
Serendipity (2001)
John Cusack (Jonathan Trager) and Kate Beckinsale (Sara Thomas) star in this dramatic romantic comedy that is just phenomenal. The both meet a department store where they met each other on the issue of a pair of gloves. Dare I say, I just love Kate’s smile.
A mutual attraction is …

Bring It On
I really enjoyed this movie about teenage cheerleaders and the competition they enter to be in a music video. While the movie may seem to be about cheerleading and winning, the story also has a great heart about friendship.
The cheerleading moves in this movie are amazing. I have …
Annabelle (horror movie)
A friend of mine who loves horror movies encouraged me to watch the trailer for Annabelle, and I knew I just had to since it was supposedly based on the story of one of the haunted dolls that resides in Ed and Lorraine Warren’s doll room. I was so terrified …
The Devil Wears Prada
I can watch The Devil Wears Prada 10 times in a row and still not get bored over the DVD. I have one at home and I love watching it each time whenever I have a special time at home, away from work and not going out with …
Happily N’Ever After
We all are familiar with Cinderella right? Well this is another version but a little of the spoof version as I may say.
I grew up listening to the happy endings of Cinderella and was even watching its cartoon series on the television. When I saw this movie I wonder …
IMAX theatre systems
I think the IMAX theatres are one of the best things the movie business has going for it. As we see declining sales these are going to be the things that bring people back into the theatre. I have been saying it for years–if you want people back you …
Urban Justice
I personally thought the star of Steven Seagal was fading in the early to mid nineties. It seems as if someone keeps letting him make movies. Not that I mind him making more movies. But like this newest Seagal flick, Urban Justice proves, if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen …
Meet the Spartans DVD
I recently borrowed the DVD of the movie “Meet the Spartans” from a friend and watched it with my family. I must say this has to be the second movie after “You Don’t Mess with Zohan” which I would consider as a crappy movie.
The movie was first released …
Teeth Movie
Teeth is this incredibly odd little movie that is partly a horror movie and part something I don’t know. I watched it, expecting it to be a straight horror movie with a little humor thrown in. Now that I’ve seen it all the way through, I couldn’t tell you …
An American Haunting
An American Haunting is a good movie, supposedly to be based on a true story about John Bell and his family. I was watching it with some friends and my boyfriend, and we were all ready to get spooked or something. Instead, the movie turned out pretty …

Fun with Dick and Jane
I must admit that I am not a great fan of Jim Carrey’s movie. I don’t enjoy watching some two hour movie with a guy trying to make a series of funny faces, however in this movie Jim Carrey managed to tone down this image and gave an excellent …
The History Boys
The History Boys is about some cute looking boys in a school, who has some strict regime and school lesson periods. They are all a dish to watch out for, and I can’t memorize their names, as the whole time I was watching this movie, I was just …
March of the Penguins documentary
This documentary is both educational and entertaining. It is fun to learn more about these cute, flightless, birds.
The penguins followed in this film are Emperor penguins, which are the only penguins which live year round on Antarctica. They have to survive very cold weather and the chicks which are …
Until They Sail movie
I can’t believe I’ve never seen Until They Sail until now. As a fan of Paul Newman, I’ve tried to see most of his films at least once, but somehow this 1957 black and white film slipped through the cracks. I’m even more amazed because of the …
Inside (UR, 2007) movie
In this hideous film, a woman and her boyfriend are riding in a car when they have a fatal car accident with another vehicle. The scene depicting the accident is somewhat bloody. We see that the woman in the car is pregnant. Her boyfriend doesn’t …
