X-Men: Days of Future Past (movie)
One of the movies that I went to see fairly recently was the latest in the X-Men series, which was X-Men: Days of Future Past. Missing it would not have been an option for me since I loved watching the animated series and reading the comics growing up, the …
“Red Eye”: The Movie Directed by Wes Craven
When I first saw “Red Eye” my junior year in college, I was enamored. The plot revolved around a woman, named Lisa Reisert, who must cooperate in an assassination to save her father. Jackson Rippner, her kidnapper, found her uncooperative. In the end, Lisa proved her strength and saved …
Silver Streak
If ever there was a favorite Gene Wilder film to choose, which is a hard task to accomplish, then Silver Streak would be a definite contender. It is this film that introduced Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor to one another, even though the first half of the film is …
Earth: movie
This is, and hold on to your chair, my absolute favorite film of all time. I just wanted to clear that out before anything else. As I am a fan of cinema, that is the visual element before anything, the basic story in Earth isn’t really that interesting. Of …
Red Eye
We recently purchased a copy of Red Eye for 99 cents at the local video store. So, I didn’t think it was going to be that good.
I was definitely wrong. While not as good as other airplane movies, it still was one of the better thrillers I’ve seen.
The main …
The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio (movie)
I think that one of the most interesting movies that I watched this year was one named “The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio”. I had actually seen the movie name on display on my cable guide a number of times before, but I never actually worked up the interest …
The exterminating angel movie
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is probably the one film most people remember the director Luis Bunuel for, but actually, The exterminating angel tells a very similar story and was made about ten years earlier by Bunuel. It tells the story of a group of rich people who …
Ruthless People
I recently watched the movie Ruthless People on cable and I really loved the movie. It is a pure comedy movie. But the comedy is just smart comedy and not cheap comedy. This movie has Danny DeVito, Bette Midler in the main roles and they are really good at …
Sleepover
At first, I was wondering what this Sleepover DVD movie is all about. But after watching it, I started to join in the ‘fun’ that the characters in the story and this is a very laugh out loud type of movie that will be entertaining for you and your …
Movie “Salt” (2010)
I was excited to see this film because the previews looked fun. A female James Bond who may or may not be a double agent and it stars Angelina Jolie. How great does that sound? Well the movie had a great premise but the end …
Juno is Good
Juno was a pretty good movie. It was the best movie I have ever seen, but it was interesting. If you don’t like weird and awkward story lines than this movie is probably not for you. However, I enjoy movies that are a little different and this movie is …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two
I went to the theater this weekend to see the 3D version of the latest Harry Potter movie: Deathly Hallows Part Two. Since it is the final movie in the series, I was very excited. I’d wanted to see a 3D Harry Potter movie for a long …
Movie Mirrors
For me it’s difficult to watch Kiefer Sutherland and not think Jack Bauer (his character from 24 on the FOX network). However, even with that distraction I still ended up enjoying Mirrors, even though I’m usually highly critical about this type of movie.
Mirrors is the story of an …
Yes Man (starring Jim Carrey)
Imagine having to say “yes” all the way and not able to say “no” at all. It would be very, very strange indeed and definitely scary. Jim Carrey sizzles pretty much with the character of Carl Allen and from start till finish, I kept on laughing like a …
Die Hard movie
The movie die hard has been out for a very long time. I myself have seen it many times, and each time I watch it I can always find something new and great about the movie. Not only is this Bruce Willis’s biggest role but it’s one of the …
Shape of the Moon (2004)
Shape of the Moon is a documentary released in 2004. It has no narration, but is basically a cameraman who follows around an Indonesian family. It received rave reviews from Roger Ebert and other critics. It is shot entirely in Indonesia, and the language is Indonesian with subtitles. Despite …
Face Off (1997)
I cannot recall how many times I’ve seen this movie but I don’t mind. I like this anyway. Well, of course I don’t buy the idea that two people could exchange faces considering the differences in their genetic make up and it’s not solved by simple facial …
Nim’s Island
Don’t make the mistake to regard the movie “Nim’s Island” as just another movie for kids. This movie is ideal for all the family jam-packed with drama, romance and funny moments. Apart from providing us with a cute and entertaining story, “Nim’s Island” has got an A-List of actors …
Movie: Arsenic and Old Lace
Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my all time favorite movies. It is an old movie that features Cary Grant, who in my opinion is the best actor ever. He truly shines in this movie. In the movie, Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) takes his new bride back to …
What Women Want,movie
Mel plays a man named Nick Marshall and he has the power to read womens minds. He can hear everything that they are thinking. But he uses his power for the wrong. (The same way any guy would use such powers). It is romantic, funny, and …
The War Room (2015 film)
The Kendrick Brothers (Alex, Shannon and Stephen) have been making Christian-based films for over a decade now and they just keep getting better. They started out with the decidedly low budget “Flywheel” in 2003 and their fifth (and latest) film is 2015’s “War Room,” the best of the lot.
Here’s the …
Don’t Look in the Cellar (Trailer, 2009)
Normally, in the first paragraph of a review, I try and proved information such as the stars, director and such. This time, however, that task became untterly impossible, because although this is a trailer, I can’t find word one about anything else related to this film. Now …
My Mom’s New Boyfriend (2008)
Director: George Gallo. Featuring: Antonio Banderas, Meg Ryan and Selma Blair.
It is a really good hearted and funny comedy that would keep you entertained for sure. Meg Ryan and Antonio Banderas have a strong on-screen chemistry and create memorable and lovely characters. The movie can be positioned between …

The Phantom of the Opera

The 40 Year Old Virgin (Movie)
I’ve got something to say. I think this movie is the best comedy out so far! The movie is absolutely hilarious. The main character is Andy, (Steve Carell) who is questioning his sexual status of a virgin. Andy has gone through some sexual encounters previously, all of which had …

A lovely little horror and suspense film is The Brood. What is The Brood? Well, the brood turns out to be a bunch of tiny people who go around murdering every one that they think has committed some sort of injustice towards their mother. This is a pretty simple …
3 Days to Kill (movie)
I was a little surprised that I didn’t hear anything about the movie “3 Days to Kill” until after it was released on Blu-ray some time later. I decided to take the movie home and watch it since it looked like it might have a fairly good plot, and …

Movie Two for the money

Pirates of the Carribean- Dead Man’s Chest
It’s very rare when I spend the money to go see a movie at the movie theater. After seeing Pirates of the Carribean-Dead Man’s Chest, I was glad I did.
Set shortly after the original Pirates, the movie covered continuing adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann …
Chain Reaction
I just can’t help it. Whenever I see Keanu Reeves in a movie, regardless of how good it might be, I instantly have flashbacks to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and, no matter how hard I try, I can’t take him seriously.
This was the situation when I sat down …
Blockbuster Online Accounts
This company certainly knows how to work you over and obtain maximum revenue at consumer loss! A few years ago they had a $19.99 plan that allowed 3 discs at a time with UNLIMITED in store exchanges. They since changed that plan to allow only FIVE exchanges per month …
The Grudge 2
The Grudge 2 is a sequel to The Grudge or as I say a very lame sequel to the Grudge. They overplayed the grudge lady to much and went into her passed. And instead of being a poor woman that was murdered by her husband it turned out that …
The movie The condemn
I so freaking loved the movie the condemn for so many reasons! First off the movie is about 2 hours long but in all honesty there are no boring parts to this movie and it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time watching it.
The actors are …
Benhur
I do really appreciate the movie “Benhur.” For me it is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. The leading actor Charleton Hestone played his role excellently as well as other participants in the movie. It is the best religious film for men. I feel closer …
Amadeus movie
Amadeus is one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen in my life. I love music and this movie has plenty of good music in it. I think that the character of Amadeus Mozart was just great in the movie. I also really liked the way Amadeus …
The Lucky One Movie
After hearing only dismal things about this movie in its reviews, I decided to watch it for myself and found that the people who were speaking negatively were not that far off. The plot of the movie is good. Young man finds picture of a woman in war that …
The Scout (Movie)

A Real Young Girl (NR, 2001) movie
I was interested in watching all of Catherine Breillat’s films when I saw the movies “Fat Girl” and “Sex is Comedy.” But in watching 2001’s “A Real Young Girl”, I was just left confused. I enjoyed that Breillat supplied viewers with an extremely intimate take on female …

Harry Brown 2009
I just saw the film “Harry Brown” tonight with my husband. This is a British movie starring Michael Caine. I first got interested about it when I found out that the gist of the movie was revenge, vigilante-style. One of the similar movies that I have seen was Clint …

The Abyss
It’s an oldie but a goodie, in my book. The Abyss, 1989, stars Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Ed Harris as part of a civilian diving team hired by the military to search for a lost submarin carrying nuclear warheads. When the team, both civilian and military, are disconnected from …
The God Who Wasn’t There documentary
