The Bourne Ultimatum
I am a big fan of the whole Jason Bourne series. I really liked the 1st two Bourne movies. But wow I was just impressed with this final and 3rd movie The Bourne Ultimatum. The Bourne Ultimatum ties in all the loose ends of the other Bourne movies. I really …

Movie Raise your Voice
“Raise your Voice” is a Hillary Duff movie. I just cannot understand why she has been nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie, because I believe it is one of her best movies together with “The Perfect Man”.
I found a certain similarity between “Raise your …

The Skulls (Movie )
The Skulls is a movie I’ve seen a number of times over the years and I always have fond memories of it. When I saw it recently though, I couldn’t remember exactly why I liked it so much. I think the movie seems a little dated, even though it …
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, movie
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time was released in 2010. It is one of a number of movies based on video games. The Prince of Persia video games on PlayStation and PlayStation two (and now PlayStation three) are very popular. I have never played the games, …
Bebe’s Kids
I was looking through one of the thrift stores in my local area and found one of the movies that I will always remember from my childhood and teenage years because of how different it was and a movie that normally, I would not have really watched. Bebe’s Kids. …
Overboard movie
Overboard is one of my favorite movies. No, it’s not an Oscar winner, but it’s just a fun love story that lets romance win out over all else. It stars the real life couple of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. Russell is a widower with four …
Starving in Suburbia (movie)
I just finished watching the movie Starving in Suburbia and it was one of the best Lifetime original movies I can remember watching. I was actually shocked that it only got a rating of about 6.5 on its IMDB page since I think that it should have gotten at …
The Secret Life of Bees movie
I was very hesitant to watch the movie “The Secret Life of Bees” first of all, since it had the singers and actresses Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys in it, and since I cannot recall seeing any of them in what I thought were very good movies, …
Evan Almighty Movie
I am sure many of you with myself included have seen Bruce Almighty , in which the well known Jim Carrey is an average Joe who curses God for almost anything and is given God’s power to see how simple it really is to rule the Universe.
Evan Almighty is …
Seabiscuit (2003)
Have you ever been to the horse races? Have you ever had to sit there and wait until they get the horses ready for the race, wait until they are all lined up in their stocks, wait for the release and then the actually race itself? Even had to …
Movie Homocide
Homicide with Joe Mantegna and Bill Macy.
I do not believe that this movie made the big screen as it was pretty cheesy. It focuses on two crimes in New York City. One was a black cop killer who only needed to be located. …
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 …
Pather Panchali Movie
Pather Panchali : Pather Panchali is the debut film of the legendary film maker Satyajit Ray. The story is about a poor village family, who struggles to earn their daily bred, and the head of the family has to constantly move outside the village for work, so that he …
Archipelago (movie)
I love watching independent films, especially ones from countries around the world. Therefore, what this means is that I sometimes go searching for new ones and get excited whenever I hear of one that’s really good. Well, recently I’d been hearing a lot about an independent film named …
The Lovely Bones movie
Let me start out by saying that I haven’t read the novel “The Lovely Bones”, which the movie was of course based on, so I’ll have to review the movie on its own merits. The story is about a young girl who is murdered, and her afterlife experiences, as …
The Last King of Scotland
I just watched the movie “The Last King of Scotland” and was delighted. I saw the previews in the theatre about a year ago and looked forward to seeing the movie. However when it came to the local cinema I wasn’t able to fit it into my schedule and …
Movie Bandidas
I had hesitated to watch the movie “Bandidas” at first because it starred two actresses whose acting “talent” tends to be very overrated most of the time. Another reason why I hesitated to watch it too was because it first appeared to me as one of those movies starring …
Thinner (1996)

The original release date was October 25, 1996 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Horror/Thriller …
Movie Angels and Demons
I am a big fan of Dan Brown’s novels. They are, for me, the kind of books that I could finish in one sitting, simply because they are too thrilling that I can’t keep my hands off it. So when it was announced that this is going to be …
I Am Legend (R, 2007) movie
I have finally gotten around to seeing “I Am Legend”. I wish that I hadn’t seen the movie… Or better yet, I wish that I had read the novel, or seen 1971’s “Omega Man” first. At any rate, I am not really a huge Will …
Love Comes Softly movie
This movie is based on a romance novel by Janette Oke. The story takes place in the 1800’s. A young couple, Marty and Aaron Claridge, are traveling West, hoping to find some good land. They come across a beautiful valley and decide to settle there. Before they can even …
Kid Galahad movie
Kid Galahad was released one year after Blue Hawaii. I’m sure I didn’t get the connection then and in truth, it’s been many, many years since I’ve actually watched this movie. Now, I saw it several times through adolescence but I really think it’s been a long, …
Max & Ruby: The Blue Tarantula
This episode of Max & Ruby was a somewhat boring one. In the Blue Tarantula, Rudy reads a bedtime story to her younger brother, Max. Ruby wants to read “Good Night Snoozy,” but her brother insists that she should read him “The Blue Tarantula,” which is a …
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 …
Star Trek 2009
I just watched the new Star Trek film last night and was blown away at how good it really was. I am a Star Trek fan, although not of the hardcore trekkie variety, and I was a bit scepticle at first about the franchise being rebooted with an all …
The Ringer (2005)
Steve employs his good friend to work for him around his apartment after he is told to fire him by his boss, while mowing the lawn, the friend accidentally cuts off two of his fingers and is rushed to the hospital where he told that without proper medical coverage …
Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector
When I started watching Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector, I was doing so expecting to write a review about how lousy the movie was. I figured it would be full of crude humor and I would get bored with it within minutes.
I was right about the crude humor. …
Anchor Man The Legend of Ron Burgundy
I have to say Anchor Man is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. I think this movie was very good and the main star Will Ferrel did a awesome job in the film. Will Ferrel played the part of Ron Burgandy and was very …
RV (Robin Williams) movie
When RV came out at the theaters, I avoided it like the plague. I like Robin Williams but I have been very disappointed by his comedies in the past.
After seeing it on DVD this past weekend, I was sorry it took me so long to see it.
I was always …
Lucy by Luc Besson (2014 movie)
I was looking for some action and heart-stopping entertainment to fill my idle hours. After watching the catchy trailer, I flung myself to the movies to see this science fiction flick called “Lucy.” Luc Besson directs and writes the movie, which stars Scarlett Johansson, and it comes …
The Princess Bride
To blave, that’s what this story is about. And if you find that inconceivable, try to stomach the kissing scenes and see where that gets you.
Seriously, this fairy tale is so full of enjoyable characters that the movie could have gone on for quite some time and I would …
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
I cannot remember the time that I was impressed with the movie version of the book. I suppose the written word is just too difficult to put into action, but with the first book of Harry Potter, I thought the subject of wizards and witches should be easier and …
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 …
Open Season (2006)
Open Season is an animated film that is good for both children and adults. The story revolves around an unlikely pair of friends- Boog, a 900 pound grizzly bear who has been a pet his whole life, and Eliot, a scrawny, one-horned fast-talking mule deer. Boog meets Eliot when …
War (Movie)
War is a movie that I was actually looking forward to seeing because I’ve recently become a big fan of Jason Statham. For some reason though I kept forgetting about the movie. When I saw that Blockbuster had previously viewed copies of the movie for about $5, I knew …
Daddy’s Little Girls movie
Daddy’s Little Girls is one of those “feel-good” films starring a predominantly all-black cast. Starring Gabrielle Union and British-born Idris Elba, the story revolves around a single-father ex-con, limo driver who happens to fall for a successful young lawyer (Union). His fight to remain in his three …
Things We Lost in the Fire (R, 2007) movie
I was expecting a little bit of over-acting from Halle Berry, and perhaps even a bit too much gratuitous skin. There was indeed a lot of skin in this movie. But most of the skin shown was on the face–close-ups of the actors for long periods of …
Motel Hell (1980) movie
Starring: Rory Calhoun, Paul Linke, Nancy Parsons, Nina Axelrod, and Wolfman Jack.
Directed by: Kevin Connor.
The villains who run ‘Motel Hell’ must be related to the family depicted in “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” which this film parodies quite often. In fact, “Motel Hell” parodies a whole list of modern …
Public Enemies (starring Johnny Depp)
In a stress world, do we still want to find money when we know that we are suffering in health like say, early signs of hypertension, nerve anxiety and stuff like that? It would be hazardous in the long run if we don’t rest well. Why are there …
The September Issue (2009)
‘The September Issue’ is a feature length, fly-on-the-wall documentary about the making of the September 2007 issue of Vogue Magazine. This would be of interest to anyone wanting to see what the real Anna Wintour is like - editor-in-chief of Vogue - rather than the bitch that Meryl …

Blood Diamond (2006)is an drama film br director edward zwick and is rated R for strong violence and language.

Cleaner, thriller film
Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, and Eva Mendes make up a stellar cast that didn’t make it too big in theaters. Cleaner feels a lot like an episode of CSI, a television show that has millions of viewers each and every week. With its CSI qualities there is more …
Ghost Town 2008 movie
Ghost Town is one of those movies where the story is so familiar that you already know what is going to have even if you are only given a little bit of the plot. (I found this with Avatar as well). I mean, this is such a common plot …
Superman, The Movie
Everything was right about this film. From the acting to the inspiring music, the special effects of its day, to the era it was filmed in. All the components of filmmaking came together in a synchronized collaboration that perfectly made us believe that a man could fly. Nothing before …
