Mona Lisa Smile
I have always thought Julia Roberts acting to be very influential and contagious, in a positive way. And in Mona Lisa Smile, she suits the role that she played as a teacher in a college and the time era was during the early 1900s. My 2 favorite actresses; …
Transformers: The Michael Bay Movie
When there were rumors about this movie coming out, I was pretty sketpical on how well it could be done. Yeah special effects have come a long way in the past few years and we have computer graphics that make the most outlandish things appear real, but could the …
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! movie
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! is a movie I recall seeing back when it was released originally in 1971. It starred Bill Bixby as playboy businessman, Johnny Gaines. Bixby did a fine job here, but it was interesting to me when I re-watched it recently that he looked tired …

Valentine’s Day (2010) movie
Valentine’s day was pretty much set up to do great, from its very release. The cast they had was just ridiculous in size and talent. It ranges from Julia Roberts to Taylor Swift in the most experienced actors to ones with very little experience.
The story itself is very …
Feed (NR, 2005) movie
If you are looking for a film that is slightly off the beaten path, you should watch “Feed.” But don’t expect riveting acting or plot direction. For there is none. This isn’t a terrible film. In fact, in a lot of ways it is quite …
The Raven Movie
The Raven with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi.
This classic black and white thriller was obviously based upon the infamous poem by Edgar Allen Poe. Looking back on the fine acting by these two famous horror stars, I could not help but notice how much Robert …

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 …
The Three Musketeers in 3D, 2011 Movie
I think that hardly there are many books with more screen adaptations of “The Three Musketeers”, but in spite of all that I think that the new version directed by Paul Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Alien vs Predator) has something new to offer to viewers , at least with the …
Bah Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas
I have seen various forms of the old Christmas classic, A Christmas Carol. And, many of those movies and television specials have been in animated form with familiar characters.
So, I wasn’t expecting much when we were watching the movie Bah Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas. It turns out it …

Sex and A Girl
I love this DVD movie called Sex and A Girl. I bought it for about $16.00. This story is about Alex, a 16 year old girl, who dreams of becoming a ballerina. She has ultra liberal hippy people as parents.
The story starts to get interesting when …
Twilight Saga: Eclipse Movie
I am also a twilight fan and came to love the book, the characters and the movie itself. I never miss to watch each of its episodes when it came out. The best Twilight Series that I’m so into is the Eclipse.
I think among the three episodes the last …
Van Helsing
Van Helsing was a movie that flopped at the box office for all the wrong reasons. A monster movie that combined the classical stories of Doctor Frankenstein, the Wolfman, Count Dracula, and Van Helsing, using plenty of CGI and nonstop action. Unfortunately, in 2004 CGI was still new and …
Open Season movie
Although this is a children’s movie I loved it. Ashton Kutcher and Martin Lawrence play in it and they do an amazing job in the movie and do an amazing job acting together in it. I really laughed at some of the parts. This one of my favorite children’s …
Mouse Hunt - DVD 1998
Released at the turn of the century Mouse Hunt is ridiculous in the extreme, in fact in places it is almost too silly to laugh at - well that’s how I see it but I’m sure there are those out there who will not agree with me.
The Smuntz brothers …
Smart People (R, 2008)
I expected a bit more from this movie than I got. But I should have known that because it was made by the same man who did “Sideways” —that the movie was going to be one of those occasionally humorous quiet, thinking people films. Usually …
The Movie An Extremely Goofy Movie
I know this is sad but I really liked A Goofy Movie. It was just cute to me. Thats why I could not wait to see this one. It deals with Max graduating high school and heading off to college. Like most kids his age he cannot …
Dream House Movie
I saw the trailer for this movie about the same time the movie Help came out. I found myself drawn to it for its mysterious quality. I couldn’t wait to see it. When I finally saw it, I found myself having mixed emotions about it. …
Little Man movie
I am not a fan of the Wayans brothers, their juvenile humor is too disgusting for my taste. However, I chose to see the movie Little Man, mostly because I found the idea of a full-grown man playing a midget (with some computer-generated help, of course) rather curious. Well, …

RedBox Kiosk to Rent Movies
I have lived in several states over the past few years and each place I lived had a RedBox kiosk somewhere close by. Usually the kiosk was located at Wal-Mart or Kroger.
I have only had two incidents with using RedBox, but was compensated for each infraction. Twice I …
Seventh Son, Movie
Boasting an impressive cast, and based on the book, A Spook’s Apprentice by Joseph Delaney, there were high hopes amongst many for this film. Early trailers showed some promise, but the delays in production, followed by a weak showing at the box office, hint at the real quality, or lack …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
I can’t remember how many times I have watched this movie again and again. I guess, too many times to count. But I am not over it yet. If I have to pick from a list of chick flick films that I would want to watch a rerun of, …

Fireproof the movie is cool. Starring Kirk Cameron, Erin Bethea and many more, this story explores the journey of love and about this married couple that are stuck in a marriage rut. The husband is a firefighter and the wife is a working woman. They are having …
Black Swan Movie
Watching Black Swan makes me feel like I was trapped in a crazy world of ballet. I believe Natalie Portman’s portrayal of Nina Sayers brought a great deal to the success of this film. Not only that she played the role well, she managed to depict perfection and I …

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) is an action film from director Russell Mulcahy and is rated R by the MPAA for strong horror violence throughout and some nudity.

“The Children” Vertigo Pictures, 2009

Titanic 1997 movie
Titanic is one of the most educational yet romantic and sad films I have ever seen. The film is told by an old lady who was on the titanic when it sank. It is told as a story of what happened to her from the moment she entered the …
Autopsy movie
I’ve recently taken up going through some of my friend’s cheesy horror DVDs and this was one of those he had on one labeled “After Dark Horrorfest 2009″. Despite the fact that this was the best movie out of all the movies in that collection, I still think the …
Eurotrip movie
I think “Eurotrip” was one of my favorite comedies which was released in my later years of high school. I didn’t watch it with my friends, but I remember watching the premiere of it on a cable television movie channel and talking about it with my friends when I …
Return of the King movie
I am reviewing the last installment of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings series, The Return of the King, which was released around 2003. This is by far my favorite in the series. This movie focuses on Frodo’s continuous battle with the ring’s power on him, the power of …

Jonah, A VeggieTales Movie is a great example of this. Apparently, this is the first full-length …
Spaceballs (1987 movie)
If it’s from Mel Brooks, it’s great comedy.
Spaceballs makes parody of Star Wars, having the same great characters, but with a comedic insight. Lord Dark Helmet (very huge helmet) is sent to steal air from planet Druidia. Lone Starr with the help of his trusty sidekick Barfolemew ‘Barf’ are …
Time of the Gypsies movie
This is the incredibly heartbreaking film by Emir Kusturica that won the golden palm in Cannes. Kusturica portraits a gypsy family that is slightly bizarre in the way they act, at least from my own point of view. However, the eldest son of the family falls in love with …
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is definitely the scariest movie I’ve ever seen in my life and that’s saying alot because I don’t get easily scared by horror movies. I know in my mind that horror movies that feature monsters like Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street and …
Three Amigos
It has been a while since I last saw the movie Three Amigos. And, while I remembered it being funny, I had my doubts that it was as funny as I remembered.
Tonight, I got to see it again. And, I have to admit, it is as funny as I …
