Last night we were flicking through the channels on TV and both my husband and I like John Wayne movies. We came across the Quiet Man, and that is where we stayed.
Old movies, done well whether they are in black and white or in color are sometimes …
Balls of Fury
I normally enjoy Christopher Walken movies but the film Balls of Fury was a bit too stupid for my tastes.
I’ve always thought table tennis as a competitive sport was a bit too much. It’s a game that should be played at home and that’s it. So, when you make …
21 movie
21, when i heard the name of this movie, I was a little confused as about what this movie would be about? But when I watched it I thought it was worth taking this risk. The movie starts like one boy who is looking to get in to …
G-Force movie
This movie is about guinnea pigs having the skills to be secret agents. As most of the ’superhero type’ movies, they are there to save the world from threat or destruction.
The movie is basically for kids. The main characters were presented in a ‘cute’ manner. The …
Virtual Girl movie
When I first saw the movie Virtual Girl, my first thought was it was going to be some sort of soft-core porn film posing as a thriller. But, I have had that impression of other movies before and, when I gave them a chance, I found them to be …

Movie: Escanaba in Da Moonlight
I ended up watching a movie last night that my brother once recommended to me; Escanaba in Da Moonlight. He thought it was the funniest movie ever made. I hate to say it, but I just don’t see what he liked about it.
OK, he’s a deer hunter and maybe …

Quigley Down Under (Western)
I’ve never been a big fan of Westerns so I was reluctant to watch this movie (even though it is set in more modern times).
However, I was actually pleasantly surprised by this film.
Tom Selleck is awesome in this movie as his character, Quigley takes on an Australian Land Baron …

Kelly’s Heroes
Kelly’s Heroes with Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, Don Rickles, and Carroll O’Connor.

Iron Man
To me, Iron Man is one of the top five comic book movies ever made, right up there with Superman I, Spider-man 2, and the Dark Knight. Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark and is the best “alter ego” of any of the super hero movie actors. …
In the Shadow of Evil movie
A 1995 production, In the Shadow of Evil stars Treat Williams as detective who suffers a nasty fall and hit on his head and then develops a type of amnesia. He remembers many things, but much of his short term memory is gone. The sticky wicket of …
Air Force One Harrison Ford

Stardust DVD Movie
I love movies of any genre, and when I watched Stardust, I have the good impression of some fairytale like movie, and I feel like entering into the scene, and experience the magical characters.
This is a good story that children and adults will definitely enjoy. It tells about …
Joy Ride, movie
Joy ride is the tale of road trippers on the way home from college for the summer. It starts Steve Zahn, Paul Walker and LeeLee Sobieski. I thought that this film follows in a similar vein of “The Hitch Hiker,” yet still brought some new things to the screen …
Zombieland Movie
It’s a short and simple story chronicling the lives of four survivors in a zombie infested America. Quite a shallow plot, but extremely funny. Its comedic factor is refreshing because it isn’t lewd or too slapstick.
Columbus played by Jesse Eisenberg was funny when he was alone, giving the …
Wishmaster (1997)
This movie is the classic case of being careful what you wish for. I have always been telling my friends and family that very same quote year after year, time after time and it has never proven me wrong to date. Whether you are talking about real life situations …
The Notebook movie
Although I don’t watch as much romantic movies as I do action/adventure thrillers, I saw The Notebook and I totally loved it. It really made me cry. It’s about Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams), a young, wealthy teenage girl who vacations with her family to North Carolina. There she meets …

Pineapple Express
Have you guys ever watched Pineapple Express before..? Well, I have and it is a nice comedy that I love watching pretty much. Don’t know why movies that star kind of dumb actors work really well. An example would be Jim Carey. In this case, the …
Carousel movie
Just one year after Oklahoma, Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae reunited in Carousel, which is another classic movie musical. The chemistry was still there, though the ending is very different, in part by the nature of the story itself.
My favorite part of the movie, though, is the ending …
Time of the Gypsies movie
This is the incredibly heartbreaking film by Emir Kusturica that won the golden palm in Cannes. Kusturica portraits a gypsy family that is slightly bizarre in the way they act, at least from my own point of view. However, the eldest son of the family falls in love with …
Turistas DVD Movie
My first and primary reason I decided to watch Turistas is because of my love for the actor, Josh Duhamel. I really love watching him acting, and if you are trying to recall which one is him, he is the one playing Las Vegas TV episodes. The …
Talladega Nights, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
I watched Talladega nights on opening night and every show we tried to find was sold out but we finally managed to find tickets to a show that eventually sold out as well. Talladega nights is probably the funniest movie of the year. Will Ferrel is close to the …
Arthur and the Invisibles movie
One of the things which really stuck out about the partly animated “Arthur and the Invisibles” was the animation. I can remember thinking it was unlike any I had ever seen and it helped to rekindle my excitement of wanting to go into animation and special effects in the …
The Fourth Protocol movie
The Fourth Protocol (1987) is a cat and mouse spy drama starring Michael Caine as John Preston and Pierce Brosnan as Valeri Petrofsky. Quite frankly, I just couldn’t get into it, no matter how hard I tried. It’s slow with a lot of following folks around and that …
When a Stranger Calls
When a Stranger Calls is a very engaging thriller movie which gives enough chills to the viewer to make it a winning fare. This movie is the remake of an old movie with the same title. It is the story of an young student, Jill, and the experiences she …
Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 Movie
I couldn’t wait until the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie came out on DVD. Everyone in my family loved the first one and, even though I figured it might not be as good as the original, I was still looking forward to seeing the sequel.
Unfortunately, the second movie …
Vantage Point
Vantage Point is a movie that I had watched a few weeks back which I think had no plot whatsoever. Indeed if you see the title, it is sort of misleading and you would think that it is a boring movie. But it turned out to be a …
Resident Evil 2: Apocaylpse
Racoon City is about to be destroyed by the zombie horde released from the Hive by Umbrella. Run for your lives!! Seriously, this movie didn’t give me high hopes on being a movie with interest in it, but I was moderately surprised. There were so many questions that were …
Movie : Rumour Has It
Starring: Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo
I keep waiting for Jennifer Anniston to wow me and star in a movie where she doesn’t act in the exact same way as her character from “Friends”, Rachel Green. “Rumour Has It” is not the movie to change my perception …
Jet Li’s Fearless
Even though this film has been out quite a while now I have only just came around to watching it and if you’re into martial arts or the Chinese culture and tradition then you will be interested in this film start to end.

Clash of the Titans (1981 movie)
Here is a movie that I think directors will have a wonderul time with the remake, that’s if they have what it takes to re-invent the characters and make them seem real enough for the viewing public. Based in mythical times with mythical creatures such as the gigantic titans, …
Play it Again Sam (1972) Woody Allen
Play it Again Sam is a 1972 movie directed by Herbert Ross, not Woody Allen himself, but it is written by and starring Woody Allen, as the highly neurotic film —˜Alan’. Although he did not direct this film, the humor is wonderfully neurotic Woody Allen at its best. …
Hamlet movie
Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …
Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen
Michael Bay manages to top himself in this follow up to the 2007 box office hit —˜Transformers’ based on the popular toy line and cartoons of the 1980’s. This film takes place a short while after the first with the Autobots forming an alliance with the American Military to …
Super 8 (2011 Movie)
For me, Super 8 was surprisingly good film considering the trailer did absolutely nothing for me. From great performances to an intense build-up of suspense, it’s a very enjoyable film.
Although the film’s director, J.J. Abrams is known for his first-person photography, this movie really benefits from the fact that …

Shutter (UR, 2008)
I had rented the Thai version of this film and was really disappointed with how shallow the American remake was. First of all, Joshua Jackson (of “Dawson’s Creek”, “Skulls”) is the lead character. I was not even aware of who his co-star is. …
