P2 (R, 2007) movie
I had heard about this movie coming out in movies. But I deliberately skipped over it. I thought to myself: How in the world can a movie about a parking deck be scary? How is this going to go over, I asked myself. …
Avatar: Movie
I thought Avatar was a fantastic film, fully meeting my expectations and then some with its brilliantly produced content.
It is the films special effects that have been praised more than anything, and I have to agree with the general consensus when I say that James Cameron has done a …

Beowulf
I am so glad that I had the actual time from work and pleasure to see this wonderful movie! I feel that the epic poem has done way more service to America by using computer graphics then by being some live action drivel. I really liked hearing …
The Uninvited - Suspense thriller
Expectations were a lot from ‘The Uninvited’ but it was all gone after seeing the movie. The trailers shown on TV were too promising. You cannot say that it is a horror movie except for some creepy scenes when Anna, played by Emily Browning, is been visited by the …
The Dark Knight
I absolutely enjoyed The Dark Knight. I went to the movie thinking that this was just going to be another action packed movie that was ripped from the pages of a comic book, but boy was I wrong. I like the character change they made for Alfred because he …
Finding Nemo
Pixar does it again. Besides Cars, I have LOVED every Pixar movie, Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Monster’s Inc., Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Wall e,; and Finding Nemo was no exception. In my opinion, they can to no wrong. This “kids” movie is one the best movies …

Movie The Postman
I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan and I’m just as likely to leave one of his movies on the shelf of our local video store rather than go out of my way to watch it.
But, as far as his movies go, his film The Postman is actually better …
DVD DEATHDREAM (1972)
If ever a cult movie deserved a special edition DVD it is DEATHDREAM (AKA DEAD OF NIGHT), a chilling horror film about a vietnam soldier, mistakenly declared dead, surprisingly returns home.
Well, maybe not mistakenly dead. He is dead. He’s an unliving vampire-zombie who needs blood to survive and, …
Suspicious River (R, 2000) movie
I am not a huge Molly Parker fan. But there is something about the actress’ delicate features and avant garde sensitivity that I am drawn to. For that reason, I decided to rent “Suspicious River”—a film about a young woman who works in a motel, …

Alien vs. Predator

Jean Renoir or was undeniably the most interesting french filmmaker of the 1930s. A day in the country is one of his absolute finest works. It tells the story of two men and one woman taking a trip to the country together. Both of the men falls in love …
Volver movie
I love foreign films. I especially love foreign language films with subtitles. Weird, I know, but I love the feel of them and the sense that you are truly experiencing another culture through film. So, when I started watching Volver I had very high hopes. It’s obvious from the …

The Messengers (movie)
I finally gave in and watched the movie The Messengers with my wife yesterday afternoon. And, even though I’ve never seen the film, I felt like I did.
The problem with The Messengers is, for a horror film, it’s really not all that scary. And, it’s because they used the …
The Bucket List
Life is worth living till the last minute. This is the message that conveys the film “Bucket List” which includes the actors, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman in one of their best roles ever.
“The Bucket List” is about Edward Cole and Carter Chambers who lead two complete different lives, …
Disney’s The GamePlan
Today I watched Disney’s The Gameplan starring Dwayne ” The Rock ” Johnson and Madison Pettis. It turned out to be a surprisingly refreshing movie with a nice family friendly message and a huge sense of humor. A comedy / drama that gets us caught up in the …
Balls of Fury
Starting from the ambiguous title, this flick sets up expectations for a superficial and possibly disgusting comedy with the kick-in-the-balls type of humor. The expectations are justified. Granted, “Balls of Fury” is a parody, but parody doesn’t have to be stupid or revolting, in my opinion.
Randy, the main character, …
3:10 to Yuma-the Removie (2007)
I like westerns very much and am always pleased when Hollywood makes another one with a high budget and good actors. I enjoyed “3:10 to Yuma”-the removie very much. I found it believable and superior to the original. “3:10 to Yuma” is a Relativity Media production, a company that …
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.

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 …
You Changed My Life movie
It was Wednesday night, on the second week of the movie. I would have expected the cinema to be empty. But no, it was jam-packed a clear sign that the movie was a hit.
I have to give my praise to the scriptwriter of “You Changed My Life” …
Separate Lies, (R, 2005) movie
Every once in a while, I get the hankering for a good old fashioned film about love, marriage, and all that other heavy stuff. Reading the synopsis of this film, I thought that the intrigue would be deeper, that the sex scenes would be more “visually gratifying”, and …

Hide and seek starring Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning is a gripping thriller that will surprise and entertain. The story is about a widower (De Niro) and his daughter (Fanning) who moves to the country to try to build a new life after his wife commits suicide. …
