The movie Pearl Harbor (2001)
I love Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale. I usually do my best to see any movie in which they star because they are usually very good movies with superior acting. It is under this thought that I went to see Pearl Harbor. I thought that since it had …
The Last Airbender the movie
The live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender”, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, certainly leaves much to be desired. The premise of the movie retains the same plotline as the cartoon. After100 years of being trapped beneath the ice, Avatar Aang has awoken to …

Just a few days ago, one of my friends and I went to see the movie “Warm Bodies”, which seemed like one of the few interesting movies going on despite what some people had said about it in reviews on the internet. The few reviews and comments about it …
Encounter in the 3rd Dimension
I watched this IMAX movie, called Encounter in the 3rd Dimension, with my boyfriend, and it was the darndest thing I’ve ever been to. Now, don’t get me wrong about the movie, though short, (but isn’t all IMAX movies supposed to be). I was fed up with …
Once Upon a Time in Mexico movie
Robert Rodriguez returns with a sequel to his classic low budget film El Mariachi, but unfortunately this time without the same energetic visual style. The story is a very complex thing with corrupt CIA agents, drug dealers and assassins, but that is not what bothers me. Rodriguez have proved …

Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem
The second movie in the crossover film series once again pits Alien against Predator in a sequel that doesn’t deliver.
It’s hardly surprising this film doesn’t set the screen alight; the original was hardly a classic, but it’s a shame this time round that aspect that didn’t quite work in …
Wedding Crashers
The movie “Wedding Crashers” is the film that made the actors, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn very much famous. It is thanks to this extraordinary movie that both actors moved on in working on more demanding and challenging roles.
What I really liked about “Wedding Crashers” is the out of …
Friended to Death, movie (2014)
Watching a dreary film like Friended to Death has been a total waste of my time and energy. Directed by Sarah Smick and starring Ryan Hansen, James Immekus, Zach McGowan and others, this film has failed to keep me glued to it. Perhaps the director had aimed at shooting …

Picnic At Hanging Rock came to me in an unexpected way. I saw it on the Independent Film Channel and while it was a little weird, I knew I had to see Picnic At Hanging Rock again. The film is made in Australia, and I have not seen many …
Scary Movie IV

This horror film is part of an 8-film Horrorfest (festival) and I must admit that it was part corny/part “good”. A group of medical students working on a set of cadavers discover that one of them is not actually “dead.” Of course there is a stream …
Salt ( 2010 Movie )
I was really anticipating this film ever since I first saw its trailer. It opened today and I hurriedly watched the last full show. The movie just got a passing mark in Rottentomatoes.com. It says ” the plot was predictable and ludicrous”.
I dissent.

Bond 007
Over the decades, there have been a total of six men who played this role on film. Honestly, I liked each actor in different ways.

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) movie

In this adventure they are trying to make …
“The Purple Heart” Movie
Although I’m not a militant person for some reason I’m particularly fond of war movies. Naturally I look forward to whatever movie festivals are aired on television for Veterans Day. Although many of the movies are often the standards such as the excellent “The Longest Day,” the engaging “The …

Club Paradise movie

Movie Hair Spray
Some musicals are entertaining to watch and may even be funny. In the case of the movie Hair Spray, you also have a movie that is very fun to watch.

I’ve sat down to watch Veggie Tale movies with my daughter before. But, I’ve only done it to be nice; I’ve rarely enjoyed the experience. However, the movie The Pirates who don’t do Anything, is definitely an exception. I actually liked the movie as much as she did.

Mighty Aphrodite Movie
Mighty Aphrodite is a great, fun movie from writer and director Woody Allen, released in 1994 I believe. It is rich with gags and one-liners all the way through so the script is great, with Woody at his best giving his funny delivery of the lines and also …
Up in the Air movie
Up in the Air surprised me. I wasn’t sure that I would like it. The reason for that is that it stars George Clooney. Sometimes, I like his stuff, and sometimes I don’t. I wasn’t anticipating much. Thus, when I was being entertained, I …
