The break up movie
I was excited to see this movie and it was a major disappointment. I was excited to see it because it had vice Vaughn and Jennifer Anniston in it. It was supposed to be a comedy but it wasn’t much of a comedy to me. I barely laughed in …
Movie Wanted
Wanted is an excellent action film with a compelling enough story. The main motivation to watch this film is for the action scenes and the gun battles. Even though some scenes are not very realistic (It may be possible to bend or curve a bullet, but some scenes are …
Movie “Dreamcatcher” (2003)
I am so in love with netflix and the ability to watch movies and tv instantly. Since I don’t have to wait for a movie to come in the mail I am much more willing to try out a movie I have never heard of before. This …
Imprint - Movie
Asian horror movies are credited to be really scary, I remembered watching one horror movie from Japan, and the contortionist ghost in the movie is hunting me in my dreams.
Imprint is a horror movie that originated from Japan and directed by Takashi Miike and apparently Imprint comes from …
Max Payne
I was at first hesitant to watch the movie by Marc Wahlberg; though I know he is a good actor and has proven himself way too many times in his previous movies, I’d say I am glad that I did go to the movies and watched it. I really …
The Three Gables
I am reviewing The Three Gables, a Sherlock Holmes episode on the boxed set, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, produced by Granada in the 1990’s. This episode finds Holmes and Watson against ruffians who are hired by a cold feeling woman to steal this poor old woman’s grandson’s …
Dora: Save the Day movie
It really does take an entertaining cartoon to keep my daughter quiet for 30 minutes. The movie Dora: Save The day, accomplished the impossible, keeping her quiet for almost 2 hours.
All four episodes on the DVD were good, especially the episode that had Dora, Boots and Swiper trying to …
The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
This movie has been around for a few nears now but I only just watched it recently and all I knew about the Mothman was from Youtube videos which seemed really unbelievable and usually look fake. Before I watched the movie I read a bit on the real …
The Abyss Movie
The Abyss is one of those movies that has always inspired me, even if the movie is not really about oceanography and not completely based on the fact of exploring the oceans. I love the idea or just the thought of living in space or under the water. It …
Tiny Times 1-4 (Chinese Movie)
The Tiny Times is a romance drama movie series based on novels by Guo Jing Ming. It’s made up of 4 movies (Tiny Time 1-4). The movies are all directed by the author himself.
The series is glamorous and beautiful. And I mean the costumes, locations and casts, not the …
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Overview - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is one brilliant film yet also a bit difficult to follow at times. I will say that the concept of this film is just great - although it basically is a romance when it comes down to it, it’s unlike any …
Birdman, movie (2014)
Yesterday I saw the movie Birdman. Those who expect it to be another action film with superheroes or, on the contrary, a monotonous story about the main character’s crisis with an emphasis on art house, existential experiences with a hidden meaning will be disappointed.
A film with its own twist, …
The Big Racket, movie (1976)
In the wake of 1971’s The French Connection, the Italian film industry came up with their own stamp on gritty, police dramas. This genre became known as poliziottesco and were infamous for their depiction of Italy’s criminal underworld. Enzo G. Castellari would become the director best known …
Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …
Dead Like Me: In Escrow
I pretty much like this particularly episode of Dead Like Me. It’s called In Escrow and deals with the Lass home, which has been on the market. Linda, the realtor, calls and says someone wants to buy the house, so now they go into escrow.
Teryl Rothery plays …
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (3D)
I loved Transformers: Dark of the Moon! I thought it should be pretty cool in 3D. I was right! It impressed me right away, literally within the first minute or two. Then it kept getting better throughout the movie.
I wasn’t sure how I would like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for …

Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married”
Tyler Perry’s latest film, “Why did I get Married,” is perhaps his best film yet. This well written and directed drama is both inspiring and hilarious.
The films plot centers around a group of married couples who meet in the mountains of Colorado for a couples …

Braveheart Movie
This is my favorite movie of all time…and a magnificent film directed by and starring Mel Gibson. It tells the true story of a Scotsman fighting for the freedom of his country after his wife was killed by an English lord. It also has a crazed Irishman who claims …
Basquiat (1996 film)
I will open by saying that “Basquiat” is a terrific film, in every way you could name. The performances, by an all-star ensemble cast, are nearly flawless, the direction and visual composition of the film mirrors the personal, intense nature of its subject’s art, and the soundtrack covers a …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.2: Gnothi Seauton
Well, to my discovery, it seems that this TV show follows an alternate timeline after “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and has nothing to do with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (even though “Terminator: Salvation” does). That’s good and bad in my opinion, but that’s a whole other story …
End of Watch (movie)
I remember I couple months ago, one of my friends and I spontaneously decided to go see a movie while we were out. At the time the most interesting thing that was playing seemed to be the movie “End of Watch” of which I knew almost nothing about. I …
Father of the Bride Movie
I had first watched that movie when a friend of mine was getting married; she was looking for wedding ideas, and someone had recommended the just released “Father of the Bride.” Well, as to wedding ideas, my friend did not get any: her finances were far more modest than …

The great debaters
I thought that the movie the Great Debaters was an excellent movie. I know that there are a lot of movies like this one, about racism or slavery but this is a good movie. It isn’t like all the rest; it is a totally different movie. It’s …
Click
For what is supposed to be a comedy I suggest you bring a box of tissues.
A desire Im sure everyone shares is to be able to stop time, or skip through unpleasant events, and even to turn the volume down on life. It is those exact deisres that Click …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Movie (2014)
“The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” is a decent effort by director Peter Jackson to wrap up the trilogy based on the novel, ‘The Hobbit’. Now I use decent very loosely as it falls far below the quality of the first two installments in the trilogy. When I watched …
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is a movie that stars Jack Nicholson at Murphy. Murphy is a patient in a mental institution. I have to tell you, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is a very sad film. It is not the kind of movie you watch to …
A pilot’s wife movie
I watched “The pilot’s wife” today on lifetime movie network. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It could have been better but overall it was pretty good. I would recommend watching it, but if you have a better movie then I would watch that instead. This girl who …
Wild Hogs
This very hilarious movie, called Wild Hogs, is a box office hit in my country, and I managed to catch it as well.
I laugh my whole way through at the antics of a group of middle-aged friends, who decided to go on a motorcycling trip together. Their antics …
Flight of the Phoenix
Hollywood has long been known to produce some great movies. It seems the wheels of the machine have stopped turning of late and all they will produce are remakes. Some, of course, seem light years better than others. Among the few that are destined to be forgotten are Flight …

Urban Legend
Urban Legend is one of the few horror movies that I can watch again and again, no matter how many times I have seen it. It almost feels like the writers and producers wanted to make a movie that appeals to horror movie fans. I love watching it just …

Duma movie
Few movies that are noncartoon can entertain my two three years old. However, last night HBO was playing their new hit, Duma. From what I have come to understand, this is one of Walt Disney’s new classic movies about the life of a leopard and his relationship …

Peach Girl is about a girl named Momo who is in high school and is often mistaken for a “playgirl” because of her bleached hair and tan skin. She also has a fiery temper but is very kind and caring. Her so called friend Sae, has pure white skin …
Watchmen movie
Watchmen was an absolutely amazing film. If you can get the chance though, I would read the book before you go see the movie. Why? Because half of the greatness of the movie is appreciating how accurately they kept up with the panels from the comic; even shadows …
Cruel Intentions
The movie “Cruel Intentions” was very much well received because it represent a new way of making movies addressed to the young generation. It includes a great cast of young rising stars involved in a movie which has the right mix between drama and romance.
On a more personal level, …

The movie Why Did I Get Married
I like Tyler Perry’s plays and his movies. This one was no different. THis movie is about what can happen to a relationship when it is not built on the right things. IT shows what can happen when couples start to take each other for granite and start to …
Batman The Dark Knight 2008 Movie
Nowadays, saying the name Batman actually brings up enjoyable memories. Memories of the older movies that I enjoyed and the newer movies that reinvented it. Forgetting about the failures in-between. The Dark Knight was released in 2008 and featured Batman’s worst enemy. The Joker himself. But with all the …
The devil wears prada
This is a Meryl Streep movie, and like all of her movies she is simply fantastic. I find that Streep gives that extra input in her work that makes her such an extra ordinary actress. I personally compare her a lot to the actor, Joaquin Phoenix they …
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980 film)
My boyfriend and I have been watching all of the Star Wars movies from the very beginning. After really becoming addicted to A New Hope, I knew that I had to watch the next film on the list, “The Empire Strikes Back”. This movie really made me see further …
