Monsters vs. Aliens (2009)
I really enjoyed this movie. It’s advertised as kind of a “team” film, but it truly is Susan’s (Reece Witherspoon) movie.
The movie begins on Susan’s wedding day. As she’s heading into the church, she gets hit by a meteor which she actually absorbs into her body. …

Movie The Terminal
I read so much good reviews about this romantic movie that ended up with very high expectations while watching. While I must admit that Tom Hanks is simply great, this movie cannot be classified with a great romantic ending.It seems that even the director of this movie Spielberg was …
Meet the Parents Movie
An insane comedy with Ben Stiller and an aged Robert De Niro. Stiller is a young nervous man who comes to meet his parents in law for the first time, which results in chaos and lots of humoristic situations. I personally think Ben Stiller is a talented comedian, but …

The Fourth Protocol movie
The Fourth Protocol (1987) is a cat and mouse spy drama starring Michael Caine as John Preston and Pierce Brosnan as Valeri Petrofsky. Quite frankly, I just couldn’t get into it, no matter how hard I tried. It’s slow with a lot of following folks around and that …

Tangled 3D Movie
I’m a big fan of Disney animated movies, even the ones that are about the so-called Disney Princesses. So when I saw the trailed for Tangled, Disney’s 50th animated film, then you can just imagine how excited I was. After watching the movie in 3D recently, all I can …

Open Season is an animated movie which was made using computer-generated graphics. The movie is marketed to kids, but in my opinion, adults could really enjoy it as well. The movie is about a tame bear named Boog . He meets and befriends a one antlered …
Movie The Incredibles
Brad Bird’s Pixar movie the Incredibles, released in 2004, is my favorite Pixar movie ever, and one of my all time favorites in any genre. The Incredibles mixes the best of superhero movies, spy capers, and family films. It has heart, excitement, humor, action, suspense and a …

The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …
“Thor: The Dark World” movie
Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …
The Day After Tomorrow movie
This was possibly the best disaster movie I can remember watching. In fact, before this movie I had no idea that disaster movies could be great, since most of them tend to be b-movies. However, one of the things I learned from watching this movie was that good disaster …
Bad News Bears Movie
I loved the old movie the Bad News Bears and I was excited when I heard a new one was coming out a couple years ago. I wasn’t dissapointed. I thought this movie was really cute and very funny, it’s not the old one but it is …

Alvin And The Chipmunks
We recently rented the movie “Alvin And the Chipmunks,” and so far the four-year-old in my house has watched it 5 times! She loves it, and so does her 11-year-old brother! In fact, even I, who never particularly liked the cartoon version when I was a kid, am in …

The Amazing Spider-Man 2, movie
While I was wary of rebooting the Spider-Man franchise so soon after Sam Raimi’s franchise was launched, I actually rather enjoyed ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’. It had a strong cast and did enough to stand on its own as opposed to just feeling like a carbon copy of the …
Almost Famous movie
This is my favorite movie of all time. I first watched it many years ago, when I was working at a video store and allowed to take home movies in the afternoon. I was, for the entire length of the movie completely enraptured. Since then, I …

Netflix
I worked at a video store for 3 years and so I got free rentals. However, the video store, “Hollywood Video”, didn’t really have everything I was looking for. Enter Netflix who has everything I could want. I keep thinking I’ll run out of stuff to want to watch …
Hide and Seek (2005 movie)
I don’t really get the gist of this movie, it’s one of those films that just doesn’t make any sense. From the beginning, things just didn’t add-up, people were dying…claimed to be killed by the little girl’s imaginary friend. One would not begin the believe that the killer was …
Sucker Punch (2011 Film)
Sucker Punch is one of those movies that you have to watch with an open mindset. The jest of this movie, for the most part, isn’t going to come to you quickly. To the plain eye, it looks like a fantasy chick flick with vivid graphics. I can be honest …

The Thing Below (2004) Movie
This is one of those creepy science fiction pictures, horror really, that I found boring. The movie just didn’t hold my attention very well. I guess the plot moved too slowly. Normally I like these kind of creepy pictures. It could be the over-used plot this movie has. Or …
Miss March movie
Miss March is an underrated movie. It’s a romantic comedy that’s more comedy than romance, or at least very subtle romance. Miss March is about a guy, his best friend and his long term high school girlfriend. The main character is a virgin and has abstain from sex for …
Ocean’s Eleven Movie
A new version of the 1960 version with Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack, which I honestly haven’t been able to find myself. The new version is directed by Steven Soderburgh, a praised director most known for his films Traffic and Erin Brockowich. Personally I think this director is …
Remember the titans
Usually I don’t like movies about football or any sport for that matter. I really liked this movie though. It has Denzel Washington in it. I think he did an amazing job in this movie, like he usually does. The movie was good because it had a very good …
Carny Movie
I finally got time to sit down and watch a horror movie this past weekend (I’ve been in the mood for one). I didn’t have a whole lot to choose from so I ended up watching the 2009 movie Carny.
I’m not sure, but I think this might have originally …
Madhouse

I am reviewing the murder mystery film, Dead Man’s Eleven, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy. This movie was made in 1999, was produced by Brian True May, and was based off of the novels of author Caroline Graham.
In …
You Can’t Run Away From It movie
I’m not sure if I’ve seen You Can’t Run Away From It before or not. It’s vaguely familiar, but not readily in my brain. Of course, it could be the basic story that rings in my head since this is a musical remake of the classic, “It …
