Bone Sickness, Horror film
I might have gotten to the point in my life where zombie movies just don’t excite me anymore. Take this one, Bone Sickness, a zombie movie that might have been shot with a betamax camcorder. I have no beef with low budget movies but Bone Sickness really doesn’t do …
For Richer or Poorer
The movie for Richer or Poorer is so magnificently funny I almost wet myself over laughing. It is about a rich couple who’s marriage is falling apart and they are trying to get a divorce. While this is happening their personal accountant is stealing money from …
How to Survive a Plague documentary
There was a period in the history of health care prior to the 1996 discovery of a better drug to fight AIDS wherein matters did not look at all promising or favorable for the person who contracted the disease. At that time: there seemed to be nothing …
Movie Rush Hour
Rush Hour, a movie about two very different cops working together to save a kidnapped girl is a one of a kind movie. Detective Lee, played by Jackie Chan, is a Hong Kong cop flown into L.A. to help a friend save his young daughter. James Carter, played by …
Righteous Kill
I highly recommend this movie. Robert de Nero and Al Pacino play in it together. Both are great in the movie, they grab your attention and don’t let it go. You have to pay attention to the movie to really understand what was going on. The other actors in …
The Good Shepherd (2006)
“The Good Shepherd” is a sobering and rather depressing depiction of the early days of the secret government agency that eventually became the CIA. Matt Damon plays the role of Edward Wilson, a very morose young man with an idealistic desire to serve his country. He gets …
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
Ah, yes…those lovable little Ewoks. Those, cute, cuddly little bear-like bundles of joy helped bring a happy ending to this final installment of not only the original trilogy, but chronologically the entire saga of the life and death of Annakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader.
The overall theme of this movie …
Mirrors
I was expecting a bit more of a thriller in the movie “Mirrors”; it was a good movie, good sequence and the build up of the story is quite convincing. The story is very nice until, of course towards the end where it gets to be confusing and a …
Miss Congeniality Movie
I loved this movie. Sandra Bullock plays Gracie Hart, a dedicated FBI agent to whom her job is everything and her appearance is not that important. Supposedly, she is unattractive, and her male co-workers don’t even notice her as a female (I am saying “supposedly” because, to me, Sandra …
Rush Hour 2 (2001)
This is the second episode of the Rush Hour saga, this time they are in Honk Kong where Carter, played by Chris Tucker, wants a relaxing but exciting vacation filled with lots of women, but his time in the orient is going to be far from a vacation experience …
Vows of Deception (1996 film)
The 1996 film starring Cheryl Ladd entitled “Vows of Deception” was an interesting, suspenseful and mysterious movie that, while it wasn’t the best film I have ever seen, was entertaining for the time I spent watching it. This was a Lifetime Movie Network movie, which is known to many …
Netflix DVD Rental Online
Netflix beats the heck out of any local video store - it is destined to become the WalMart of the video rental world! I love it and all my friends to whom I’ve recommended the service have thanked me! Here’s the deal: for less than the …
Moulin Rouge (Movie)
Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it a lot of times and have never failed to enjoy and feel emotional during the movie. What I like about it most are the songs. The first time I watched it, I was pleasantly …
Evan Almighty (2007)
Evan Almighty (2007) is a comedy from director Tom Shadyac that is rated PG by the MPAA for mild rude humor and some peril.
In this sequel to the very popular Bruce Almighty, newscaster Evan Baxter (Steve Carrell) has traded in the news desk for a post in Washington …
“Eyes Wide Shut” (1999 film)
Occupying the position of the iconic Stanley Kubrick’s final directorial effort, completed just days before his passing, ANY movie would be the center of a lot of divided opinions and the source of controversy. After all, those qualities apply to just about every one of the movies in Kubrick’s …
21 Movie
We watched the movie 21 tonight. I think it’s cool that it was based on a true story. Can you imagine how smart those kids had to be? It just blows my mind!
I think the movie does a great job of showing just what greed can get you. And …
The Gamers movie
A film about a team of college boys taking part in so called “Role Games”, a very popular phenomenon among certain young people nowadays. They actually do everything they want to do; create their own imaginary worlds and characters and pretend they live it. That’s the principle of a …
Tina Fey (actress, producer)
I have way more respect for actress Tina Fey since I started watching episodes of ‘30 Rock’ on DVD. I caught one episode when it first came on the air. But for some reason, I never followed up on the program. When Tina Fey …
DOA: Dead Or Alive Movie
I may be a girl, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t appreciate a woman who looks good. When I saw DOA: Dead Or Alive I just happened to get a little more than I intended to. A large portion of the movie is devoted to the women in …
A Kid in Aladdin’s Palace
Though I have not seen this movie in ages, it still remains one of my favourite children’s movies. It was released in the year nineteen ninety eight and I think that the first place where I watched it was on the Disney Channel one Thursday or Friday night when …
Movie Hell Boy
Hell Boy with Ron Perlman and John Hurt.
This is another of those movies that brings life to a comic book personality, but it is more of an adventure than a satire. I did like this movie because it had a beginning, a middle, and …
The Jerk (1979) Movie
The Jerk (1979) was one of my favorite films when I was a teenager in the 1980s and I still catch it occasionally on television today because it is guaranteed to make me laugh. It stars the brilliant Steve Martin in the lead role as Navin, a total …
Crazy Heart (Movie)
Any movies that receive Academy Award nominations tend to increase my expectations on what to expect when I finally do see them (I usually wait until they come out on DVD, rather than go to a theatre). So Crazy Heart was right up there with the other Best Picture …
Gaslight (1944)
I have just watched this fantastic old black and white movie, Gaslight, starring the wonderful Ingrid Bergman as Paula, a woman nearly driven out of her mind by her husband in a bid to get his hands on her fortune. Bergman won her first Oscar in this role …
Movie - Why Did I Get Married, Too?
I saw Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?” a few years back and, although I don’t think it was a masterpiece, it was still an interesting look at husband-wife relationships.
When the sequel, “Why Did I Get Married, Too?” came out on dvd, I decided to watch it. To …
Renegade:The Movie
Everyone remembers the TV show Renegade, starring Lorenzo Lamas. Renegade cop out on the run, saving the day wherever he goes. It led to the creation of this straight to video movie, that was actually just a compilation of a two part episode of the show put …

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Swimming Pool is another movie that will take you to strange thoughts and places. Sarah needs a getaway and she goes to the country and stays in a country home. A young woman shows up, Julie. Julie is the daughter of the man who owns the house. Julie is …
Go West, Young Girl movie
I actually only saw Go West, Young Girl for the first time last year. It’s another Karen Valentine movie from 1978 that relies on her innocent, cutesy, and even spunky persona to succeed. She plays Netty Booth, an Eastern reporter who wants to go west to make …
The Killer (1989)
Ah Jong (Chow Yun Fat) is a professional killer. On a mission of assassination, he accidentally injures a female singer. The blast from the gun blinded her and Ah Jong’s sense of remorse is great. He vows to assist the now blinded singer with all her medical expenses and …

I actually haven’t heard of nor seen a trailer of the movie Awake. I have learned about it through my friend who had watched it and after he giving me an overview of its story, I instantly want to watch it.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
If you are thinking on watching G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, it’s worth your money, trust me. That’s what I feel on the whole. This movie has the ever-rising and handsome Channing Tatum as the main character, I suppose and he will be really big in future, …
Murder with Music movie
From 1941, Murder with Music was all black film about a woman with a lot of suitors. The whole hype about the movie is that someone gets killed, but that murder actually happens so late that I’m not sure I even cared.
Early on, and this is what I …
Twilight (2008) movie
This much anticipated movie based on Stephenie Mayer’s novel “Twilight” was a huge disappointment to me since I have read the book. I fell in love with the book when I first read it and couldn’t wait for the movie to come out when the book was said to …
Do The Right Thing movie
This is a film by the talented Spike Lee and in my opinion his best film to date. A film about rascism and prejudice, how the true nature of these issues actually looks like. Spike Lee doesn’t choose his side here. All fractions of a society in america are …
Jammin in Jamaica
Jammin in Jamaica is a kid movie intended for teenage girls. It’s not exactly my cup of tea though but my girls like it. It’s about a group of teenage girls and their boyfriends who play in a band. The boys get an opportunity to go to Jamaica for …
The 33 or The Thirty Three - Movie (Biography, Drama)
I have a fascination of watching movies especially that are based on real that is the foremost reason that I ended up watching this film. This film is based on the 2010 San Jose Chile mining accident when a gold and copper mine collapsed and trapped 33 miners underground for …
Movie The Hangover
I went and seen the Hangover movie today, with a bunch of friends it suppose to be hilarious. I went with an open mind although it is suppose to be a guy’s type of movie, a guy’s worst case scenario in my opinion, but my friends were really interested …
You can count on me movie
Critically acclaimed drama about a woman who alone has to take care of her son. One day her brother comes to visit and things start to change in the relationship betweem the mother and her son.
I do admit that some of the scenes here are heartwarming and that the …
Descent (NC-17, 2007) movie
Man oh man, was I disappointed with this movie. There aren’t too many films starring Rosario Dawson that I absolutely hate. But this one—an indie—about her “brutal” rape was just strange. The premise is that she’s an introverted college student who is lured into …
Breakfast at Tiffany’s movie
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is another classic that I keep watching repeatedly. In fact, just recently I bought the collector’s edition. This film is just amazing, and not only because actress Audrey Hepburn lights up the screen with her presence and fashion style. I think the film …
The Usual Suspects movie
I just watched the movie “The Unsual Suspects” last week on a bootleg DVD someone had of it, so I’m not completely sure what quality the actual DVD would be. I heard a lot of good things about this movie before I actually got to watch it, one of …
Where the Wild Things Are
As a child, I was fascinated with the children’s book Where the Wild Things Are, and years later, I enjoyed reading it to my own kids. I didn’t have an excuse to see the movie, and I had thought about asking one of my friends’ children to accompany me, …
The Kindred horror film
I’d always wanted to see the horror film The Kindred. It was primarily because I’d seen the ad for it in the newspaper when I was a little girl. I thought it looked properly creepy. It said something about someone having a brother they didn’t know about, and it …
Wild Things (1998)
The story of this movie is about four individuals who mastermind an elaborate scheme to cheat their way to riches. They accused a high school councilor of rape, and then deny the charges on the witness stand, they plot the death of each other, and then it turns around …
Wrath of the Titans (2012 movie)
I just recently saw the movie Wrath of the Titans. It is the sequel to the previous Greek mythology-based movie about Perseus which was entitled Clash of the Titans. This movie still has the original cast, like Sam Worthington as Perseus, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, …
