The Wedding Planner movie
This movie depicts many woman’s ideal job. It would be fun, in my opinion, to plan the perfect wedding, nailing down every detail, including the perfect best man’s speech.

Back to School movie
I’ve always though Rodney Dangerfield was more annoying than funny and his movie Back to School did nothing to make me change my mind about that.

Lover Come Back movie
Doris Day and Rock Hudson team up again for Lover Come Back from 1961. It’s a really fun and daffy romantic comedy that I enjoy a lot, though Pillow Talk is my favorite of their three motion pictures together.
In Lover Come Back, both Day and Hudson play ad …
Monsters Inc. movie
I had a copy of this at home however I didn’t bother watching it at first since I really don’t like the title Monsters Inc. I thought it was one of those boring gruesome monsters stories I often see on television. One time I had nothing to do except …

Entrapment movie
As much as I thought I would enjoy the movie Entrapment, I will start out by saying it took me more than a month to actually watch it from beginning to end mostly because I couldn’t stand to be bored for more than a few minutes at a time.

High Fidelity
“High Fidelity” is definitely the most renowed John Cusack’s movie. I must admit that he did a great job in this movie for which he was nominated for the Golden Globe. In an interview, Cusack admitted that this movie is also one of his favourites too.
What makes “High Fidelity” …
The Judge (2014 drama movie)
“The Judge” wasn’t really one of those movies whose trailer sparked much interest for me. As a matter of fact I didn’t expect that it would be very good even though it had some talented actors in it such as Robert Downey Jr, Robert Duvall, and Vera Farmiga. However after …
Panic Room movie (2002)
This is probably director David Fincher’s most commercial film to date. Originally set to star Nicole Kidman, who had to bail on the project due to an injury on Moulin Rouge (and has a small voice-only role over the telephone in Panic Room), Jodie Foster fills in the …

Rachel Getting Married (2008 film)
The 2008 movie “Rachel Getting Married” might have had a great cast who fell into the roles of their characters phenomenally, and maybe they have done that too well. Because Anne Hathaway who plays Rachel’s sister, Kim, in the movie, really got on my nerves and I think that …

The movie Turner and Hootch

Hootch was …

Toni Erdmann (2016 film)
2 hours and 42 minutes is a lot of time, and if I am a productive person I would be able to do so much other than just sitting in my comfortable chair watching a german-language movie called “Toni Erdmann”.
Truth be told, the first 10 minutes is a real struggle …
Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs (movie)
The Masters of Horror series is incredibly interesting. I like that they have different directors because it gives viewers an idea of how various filmmakers “do” horror. At any rate, “Valerie on the Stairs” is very Twilight Zone-ish in its delivery. In fact, reference to this …
Serenity movie
In 2005, fan encouragement resulted in this movie called Serenity. It was a follow up to the science fiction series Firefly. Now, I’ve only seen a couple of episode of Firefly. It just didn’t grab me at the time, so I’m a bit behind the story when …

Walking Tall
I saw Walking Tall the other day, and I must say it’s very funny. I really thought The Rock did a good job in this movie. He was very violent and kicked butt in this movie. Walking Tall is about a small town that has been turned evil by drugs. …
Phone Booth: Movie
Phone Booth is a great thriller movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. The intensity in brings is enough to keep you interested right from start to finish.
I think the running length was good at just over 80 minutes, some films like this tend to drag on and you start to …

This is the best on-line movie rental program ever!! Even BlockBuster can’t come close to this. We love the selection of movies on DVD from old black and white silent to today’s current movies. TV shows that we grew up with and miss, since we think …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie

With a venerable liking for most things I’ve seen almost all of the movies and some shows, I must say that JJ did a nice work with this film. The director JJ Abrams has done a brilliant job in resurrecting an ailing franchise to the glee of millions of …
Road to Morocco movie
The Road pictures continue with this third outing from 1942 called Road to Morocco. As with the first two films, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour starred. It was that same old formula, too, but that isn’t a bad thing in the case of this movie.
One of …

The Pink Panther (2006)
I understand this is just a remake of a movie that was originally produced in 1963 that starred Peter Sellers as the idiotic but kind hearted Inspector Clouseau.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012 Coming-of-Age Drama Film)
