An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth is probably one of the biggest documentaries around these days. Certainly it fulfilled its mission of making people start talking an awful lot about global warming. Of course, the question is, just how true is it all.
Mr. Gore has a lot of problems in …
King Kong
When I saw the preview to King Kong, I knew it was a must seen movie . I was right. I didn’t care to watch the old King Kong, because I don’t like older movies. However, the new one, even though created in modern times, shows the world …
Cop Out movie
Cop Out is a movie which falls flat and a passable fare which trenches into deep falls scene by scene. When Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan share the screen for a police comedy, the expectations were to see a rollicking comedy and gags of laugh. But unfortunately Cop Out …
Shriner’s Circus movie
I recently had an opportunity to take my daughter to the Shriner’s Circus when they were holding it here in Beaver Dam.
While not the best circus I have ever attended, I will say it was a bit better than expected.
When I took my daughter to the Dodge County Fairgrounds, …
Untraceable movie
Untraceable came out earlier in the year and was supposed to be a movie of the Thriller genre. I did not see the preview or trailer for this movie but I actually saw it on a whim. The poster for it made it seem like it’d be more of …
High School Musical 2 movie
With the enormous success of High School Musical, Disney quickly made a sequel called appropriately enough High School Musical 2. Not messing with success, it’s basically the same cast, led by teen almost-sensations, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. The movie starts as summer break is about to …

3 Idiots (2009 Bollywood Film)
I am not really a fan of Bollywood/Indian films when I was young, but overtime, I was able to enjoy their weird incorporated singing and dancing which was truly their signature.
I am also glad that I wasn’t able to watch 3 Idiots long before I took up an engineering course …
Citizen Kane Movie
Time and again Citizen Kane gets selected as “the best film ever made” on different listings. There is so much to say about the genius Orson Welles’ debut film, but I’ll restrict myself to the most important points and my own view. The film is a very complex story …
Ice Princess
Some people do have talent but they don’t have the means. Others do have the means but they simply don’t have talent. This is the main storyline of “The Ice Princess” featuring the actress, Michelle Trachtenberg of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame in her on screen main role as …
Illegal Tender movie
When I first saw this movie premiering one Saturday night I was a bit confused as to why I had not heard about it before when it was supposed to be released in theatres. It did not look like a indie movie to me, so that made me even …
Cars The Movie (Pixar)
As an animation enthusiast I am in love with what companies like Pixar do. In my opinion Cars is one of their greatest creations.
When Cars first hit the theaters it was my must see movie of the year. I am by no means a child on the outside, but …
xXx: State of the Union movie
If you have ever seen the first xXx (Triple X) movie, you cannot deny that it really did not need a sequel. This one stars Ice Cube as the new, more intense xXx. C’mon…this movie is substandard and really disappointing, not to mention, very distressing to watch. There is …
The Rundown (2003 movie)
Wanting out of the life of being a “Retreival Expert”, Beck (The Rock) agrees to do a final job for his boss in return for his release…Beck wants to be a chef. Unfortunate for Beck, he has to go to the Amazon to get the boss’ son Travis (Sean …
Wrong Turn
Last night wasn’t the first time I’ve watched the movie Wrong Turn. In fact, I can’t remember for sure, but I might even have written a review about it. But, I just have to say, every time I watch that film, I can�t get over how stupid it is.
Here …

1408
What’s up with horror or thriller movies with numbers…? But the idea works for me. In 1408, I was scared out of my mind, truly. I watched it on DVD pretty recently and luckily my relatives were around.
The 3 of us, that is. We …
Wall-E
When I saw all the ads to Wall-E, I thought that it was going to be a boring movie with a lot of silence, but I was wrong. It was one of the best animations that Disney has made yet, both graphically as well as in the story line …
The Happiest Millionaire
The first big live-action movie musical for Disney Studios was a film called “The Happiest Millionaire”. As a young girl, I’d heard about this movie, and I was dying to see it. When it opened in town, it was only at the drive-in, and my parents didn’t …

I really enjoyed watching Big. I saw this movie as a kid and I will never forget it. I think this movie was very well done and has a nice warm feeling inside. I think that this movie is great for families to watch together. Big stars Tom Hanks and …

I was very pleased with this movie ! It had Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher; pardon me if I got the spellings wrong, I’m too lazy tonight to check on them. These are usually two hollywood actors who make my stomach churn, but this movie was a delight ! …
Edward Scissorhands (starring Johnny Depp)
Edward Scissorhands is a very heart-wrenching story that makes me cry buckets each time I watched. I just can’t get enough of Johnny Depp in this story and this is one of the best movies by him ever that I dubbed him one of the best actors. He totally deserves …
Casino Royale
I went to see the movie “Casino Royale” two days ago. I had heard that it had received good reviews, but I didn’t expect too much, based on previous James Bond movies. I was pleasantly surprised! The plot had been thoroughly modernized, but had plenty of …
In Her Majesty’s Secret Service movie
In Her Majesty’s Secret Service was different to the preceding films of the series. It was a disappointment to many, but is in my opinion better than You Only Live Twice for example and certainly one of the most underrated. Sean Connery chose not to appear in this film …
The Butler (2013 Film)
The Butler is one of those movies that I like to call a quiet movie that’s meant for winding down. You don’t turn on this kind of movie, ready for action or something intensely graphic to happen. It’s a movie that tells you a deep rooted story. My review …
Love Actually movie
Love Actually is a great Christmas movie, and I watch it every year. The movie has a huge cast and features many big names, like Hugh Grant, as the British Prime Minister, Colin Firth, as a writer trying to deal with heartache of finding his wife in bed with …

Who Framed Roger Rabbit
I think Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a cartoon classic. This movie was really cool. What I really loved about it, was the fact that they mixed real live actors with cartoons. This was just really creative and really cool. I loved the movie so much. I thought that …
The Lego Batman Movie (2017 Animated Film)
I can still remember the time 3 years ago, almost the same day, I rushed to the nearest cinema because every critics loved The Lego Movie the moment it was released. I had no intention of watching it before but the reviews were so glowing that I was really tempted …
The Notebook movie
The Notebook movie is real horrible and I never could quite get why people liked it so much. The book was ok but the movie was horrid. First off the actress they got to play the main role was awesome and she played the character well but the main …
Untraceable (2008)
Untraceable (2008)is directed by the Gregory Hobilt. I thought this is going to be another boring DVD, with just a normal action flick story. But the storyline is real awesome. It is about this serial killer on the rise who projected his crimes and action deeds …
Fever Pitch movie
Fever Pitch, starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon, has been out on video for a few months now, but if you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it.
This is a great date night movie. Guys - it has baseball! What more can you ask for? …
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 …
Raising Arizona movie
Joel and Ethan Coen had their breakthrough back in the 1980s with the most visually original and violent thriller Blood Simple. After that they have amazed the world audience with marvellous films like Miller’s Crossing, Barton Fink and The Hudsucker Proxy. In my opinion they have lost some of …
Click movie
In this movie Adam Sandler plays a hard-working professional always pressed for time who gets a hold of a ?universal remote control? that can actually control life itself ? make it pause, fast forward, and rewind. At first, Sandler?s character, Michael, is overjoyed. When he cannot remember what song …
Movie : Imprint
When I heard that Takashi Miike was making an episode I had a lot of mixed feelings. Miike is responsible for a Japanese film any fan of horror movies will know the name of, Audition. That movie was masterfully made with detailed characterization, a quiet uneasiness and …
Tom & Jerry: The Fast and the Furry
I know, I probably shouldn’t be letting my daughter watch a cartoon like the extra violent Tom & Jerry. But, she likes it so I let her.
We recently rented a Tom & Jerry movie for her “The Fast and the Furry” and it turned out to be a pretty funny …
The Gods Must Be Crazy
I wonder where the actors of this 1980 histerically funny movie are now. What I was referring to was the movie “Gods Must Be Crazy I, which had an equally funny sequel Gods Must Be Crazy II in 1989.
I could not tell in the beginning of …

Toy Story 2
Very few sequels live up to there predecessors. Toy Story 2 had a big job on its hands living up to Toy Story which was a movie I cherished. So, how did it stack up? On par in my opinion. Just as good as the …
Solar Babies
If you’re looking for a movie to remind you about the worst parts of the 1980s, then you’ll want to rent the science fiction movie Solarbabies.
While the concept behind the movie is a good one, it’s set in the future and water is scarce; something that creates a world …
