I Confess,movie

Regal White Oak Stadium 14
I love this movie theater. It is located in a shopping center complex, where I can easily eat at a fast food or sit down restaurant before or after the movie, and also do some shopping. It is usually crowded, so I have to walk a little ways to …

Attack the Block (movie)
Tonight I decided that I was going to watch the movie “Attack the Block” even though I heard about it roughly a year ago. Back then when I had watched the trailer and seen one or two clips of the movie what I saw just did not impress me …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith A Movie
Mr. and Mrs. Smith starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was a really great movie. It was sexy, witty and simply smoldering. I cannot say that I am a big Brad Pitt fan but I did like this movie. I liked how both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were …
Blades of Glory
When we rented Blades of Glory, I didn�t know what to expect from it. We�ve watched Will Ferrell movies in the past and, while some are absolutely hilarious, there are just as many that were very disappointing to us.
The good news for us was, while I wouldn�t put Blades …

American Psycho
Christian Bale shines in this movie, being a very ‘bad’ person, if you get what I mean. I think he’s a real psycho deal in this movie, and his character is really so convincingly bad, that I think most good looking guys like him are real bad. This …
Mystery Science Theater 2000: The Movie
I thought that every Mystery Science Theater was a movie, but that isn’t really the point. There really isn’t anything very special about this episode of “Mystery Science Theater” compared to any of the others, but then there doesn’t have to be. Watching Mystery Science Theater is the next …
A Separation (movie)
I like watching foreign films, especially when I’m in a particular mood, and recently when I’ve been searching for a good one to watch, I kept getting recommendations to watch a movie “A Separation”. Despite all of that I never watched a trailer or even searched for reviews on …

I didn’t know that Antonio Banderas can dance and ballroom dancing for that matter. When I saw his movie, Take the Lead, I was pretty impressed with the talent he has showed off in the movie. He has a great body and it looks so right with those sexy …
Seeker:The Dark Is Rising
I went to see this movie this afternoon and was told it was a five star movie. At first, the movie started out kind of confusing to me. The boy, who is the “hero”, was with a family that I wasn’t even sure was his own. Plus, were they …

Disney’s Johnny Appleseed
The first time I saw this Disney short movie, was in elementary school, in the cafeteria, where many a film was shown. This was the most memorable of those films.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: the movie
I’ve not read word one of the Harry Potter books, but I have generally found the movies to be a decent diversion.
At this point in the series, I am torn between Prisoner of Azkahban and Goblet of Fire as my favorite.

Get Shorty
WHen I saw the movie “Be Cool” come out in 2005, I had a hard time understanding it even though it was only bits and pieces at different times that I watched. Thus, when I heard that it was actually a sequel to the movie “Get Shorty” which I …
Redrum
“Redrum” is possibly one of the silliest movies I have ever watched. I am not quite sure why the movie is being aired on the television in the first place, or why someone would want to spend money on making a movie such as this as I found everything …

Freaky Friday (2003 Disney Movie)
I am not quite fond of Lindsey Lohan but in I admire her act in this movie. The swap between a mother and a daughter has been played by her pretty well. The story follows the same theme many Holiday stories have opted for so there is no uniqueness …

Storm of the Century (horror movie)
Although it is a bit long, without any doubt, this is absolutely one of my favourite horror movies by Stephen King. With seemingly little effort, he manages to convey suspense from one end of this outstanding movie right through to the other as our imaginations run the gamut.
The …
First Daughter movie
The right words to describe the movie “First Daughter” is a Presidential version of “A Princess Diaries”. The true pity is that “First Daughter” has the same story of “Chasing Liberty” and they were both released during the same year 2004. One cannot help but compare …

State of Play movie
I was expecting State of Play to follow a common story line for movies about political intrigue, but I was riveted to the screen for most of this movie. While some of the plot twists were predictable, the final one near the end was unexpected. I also dislike the …
Desperado
“Desperado” was one of those films which I had put off seeing for a very long time. Even though I did not know what it was about, I somehow felt that it might resemble too much of one of those Stephen Segal flicks I hated watching. I also was …
Ben (1972)
Even though sometimes the remake can actually be better than the original thought of the movie that was produced, but sometimes and more times than less, the original is still the best. This movie is about a boy who was always being bullied and he found a great friend …
Karate Kid (2010) Movie
Karate Kid (2010) stars Jaden Smith and Jacky Chan. This was a great movie, and this is almost a remake of the original Karate Kid. I liked this better than the old original ones. Primarily because Jaden. playing the role of Dre, is really cute. He acts beautifully, very …

Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set
The Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set is a three DVD set that includes just five Columbo episodes. It’s not much, but that’s all of the movies that aired in 1989.
I don’t like how the DVDs are set up, however. Universal isn’t known for providing quality …
Movie Sister Act 2

Virgin Territory
The best way to describe “Virgin Territory” is a sort of young and funny version of “First Knight”. What is interesting in this movie is that the lead actors, Hayden Christensen and Misha Barton used this movie as a way to open their path for a Hollywood career.
