Well, I finally got around to watching the movie G-Force with my oldest daughter last night; as I have been promising her I would do for some time now.

Movie: Night of the Comet
I ended up watching a movie last night that I haven’t seen in years; Night of the Comet.
While much cornier than I remember it being, it also ended up being somewhat entertaining and a great way to spend a couple hours on a rainy, stormy night (perfect weather for …

Orgazmo
I am reviewing the little known movie, Orgazmo, which was released in 1998. Co-creator of South Park Trey Parker directs, writes, stars in, and even sings the theme song to this movie. He plays an innocent mormon who is offered a job as the role of Orgazmo, a …
The Reaping Movie
Hilary Swank is one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, so it wasn’t a surprise that I would the movie. It’s really dark and scary, especially since I watched it alone and right before I was going to bed. I think the reason why it wasn’t a hit in the …
Balto
Made in 1995, this animated film features the vocal talents of Kevin Bacon, Bridget Fonda, and Bob Hoskins, among others. It’s also based on a true story, very loosely based on a true story mind you.
Though there are many talented, well-known actors who lent their talent and names …
The Pelican Brief thriller
I usually don’t like political thrillers, but I found the Pelican Brief to be a thought-invoking and fantastic film. It’s one I would watch over again.
Julia Roberts is better known for her romantic comedies but I think she’s actually better in dramas. She gives one of the best performances …
The Cable Guy movie
The Cable Guy stars Matthew Broderick and Jim Carrey as a looney cable guy. This movie has some very funny moments and my boyfriend likes to quote it all the time. The first time I saw it I wasn’t expecting the twist at the end. I thought it was …
The Lovers DVD Movie
I just couldn’t fathom why there ever exists a classic black and white movie titled The Lovers which was made around the year 1958. Yesterday, my 2 best friends came to my house as per normal to chill and they brought this classic DVD movie from one of …
Bride Wars Movie
The movie stars Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Sometimes, when I am tired or depressed, I need a good laugh and one of the method that I invoke to have this is to watch feel-good movies. Sometimes cartoons help me with this therapy but I scout for movies like …
The DaVinci Code (Movie)
I really wanted to like the DaVinci Code, mainly because I loved the book so much and read it multiple times. That said, I just couldn’t get into this movie. When I tried to watch the DVD, I ended up putting it in at least 4-5 times before I …
The Cutting Edge
I’ve seen this movie so many times that I can recite some of the dialogues already. The Cutting Edge is actually one of my most favorite romantic movies of all time. I never get tired of watching
it. It’s a story about a young and talented hockey player, Doug, (D.B. …
Paradise now
Terrorism has spread the world over. There is not a single place in the world where terrorism is unknown. To counter it, many steps have been taken, but all the steps to counter terrorism have not proved very affective, the world is reminded of the same by instances …
Movie How to Deal
Once again, I have to admit, I’m becoming more and more impressed with Mandy Moore whenever I see her in a movie. And, this time it was on Lifetime.
Her film How to Deal is actually an interesting look into the mind of a teenager. She comes from a divorced …

The Happening (2008) Movie
I really did not know what to think of the movie The Happening. The trailer looked promising, the actors were supposedly good, and the writer and director is M. Night Shyamalan. He was the one who gave us the Sixth Sense, the Village, and now, this.
The Happening stars Mark …
The Ramen Girl movie
I wasn’t expecting much from the movie The Ramen Girl simply because I’m not a huge Brittany Murphy fan. But, I will admit, it turned out to be better than expected.
Murphy is convincing as a woman who travels to Japan to be with her boyfriend and, after getting dumped …
The Whisperer in Darkness Film
The movies based on the works of the great master of horror H.F. Lovecraft generally, I think, are complete tragedy, because the directors usually ignore the atmosphere that makes the stories of this author special and put a greater emphasis on the excess ketchup blood and the monsters, losing …
The Orphanage (R, 2007) movie
Belen Rueda stars as Laura in this weird, yet spooky little film. The synopsis on Netflix seemed a little more ominous than the actual film. Anyway, I was a bit confused at first as to what was going on. But once I realized …
The Devil Wears Prada (PG-13, 2006) movie
It is now 2008, and I just now got around to watching “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is because I am not prone to watching films that feature implausible storylines with patchy endings, over-the-top soppy acting, and so on and so forth. But I was attracted …
Blood for Dracula
I have to say, I never really understood the fuss over Andy Warhol movies. I saw the film Blood for Dracula the other night. While the movie sounded good in the description (Dracula is growing old and needs virgin blood to survive); the movie itself was actually one of …
Netflix
I did a free trial from netflix a while ago and I also did it a free trial for my cousin not to long ago. The movies took forever to get to me and her both. They are also a little more money than blockbuster. You also can’t take …
Epic Movie
I wasted 93 minutes of my life to watch this movie. I waited and waited for it to be funny still waiting!!! This was the most stupid movie I have ever seen. Everyone warned me not to see it but I did not listen to their advice. …
Daddy Day Camp movie
I watched Daddy Day Camp with my sister a few days ago. Neither of us were very interested in it. I usually like kid’s movies, but I didn’t care for this one. My sister never did finish watching all of the movie, she just kept rewinding and fast forwarding …
Hide and Seek (2005) movie
Been watching alot of old scary movies lately and this was the last one I got to watch. I figured Dakota Fanning and Robert Deniro can’t go wrong here. Alright lets jump right into this one.
So the story is pretty strange from the start. A dad find his …

Lucky Number Slevin
This is one of the fewest movies that the ending really makes the movie. It had Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Lucy Liu, Ben Kingsley, and some other good actors. This movie kept me entertained and interested in the whole entire movie. You do have to pay a …
Untraceable
Everyone I know uses the Internet so I can understand how it can become an obsession. So, when I picked up the movie Untraceable, about a Web site that feeds off viewer ship and murders people, I really could relate.
What made the movie Untraceable believable is the fact everything …
Movie We own the night
“We own the night” is simply great film with all the right things to become a sensation. This film was directed by James Gray who was also the director of the “The yards”.
