High Crimes movie
As a person who loves both courtroom dramas and military movies, High Crimes is the perfect film for me because it gives me a good combination of both.
Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd play attorneys who are attempting to free Judd’s husband from prison after the military calls him a …
Evita movie
I was amazed that I enjoyed Evita starring Madonna so much. I’m not a Madonna fan, which isn’t to say that I don’t recognize her talent. There are times when I hear her sing when I go, ‘whoa, she really *can* sing’ but then there are times …
Movie: “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”
I recently saw the classic movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” for the first time. I can now understand why it’s a classic. The deeply disturbing story with its tragic, haunting twist ending has lingered in my mind days after watching it.
My husband picked the movie out for …
Pirates of the Caribbean - The curse of the Black Pearl
This is a great no brainer movie. Full of great action scenes and funny ironic comic relief that anyone who watches will relate to. With the help of special effects and great cinematography you are taken into an adventure that in convincing and applicable to the time for which …

The movie is set six years after the X-Files are closed. Dana Scully is now a doctor at a Catholic hospital, Our Lady of Sorrows while Fox Mulder is some sort of bum after being hunted down by the FBI. They both do not want anything to do with …
Vigilante Force movie
Vigilante Force is a movie from 1976 that featured Jan-Michael Vincent and Kris Kristofferson. It opens with sex and violence, two huge turn offs for me. I’ve seen it in passing a couple of times, when I was more into Kristofferson in his post-A Star is Born …
The Flim-Flam Man,1967 movie
This is a wonderful, unfairly little known and even more unfairly not-yet-released-on-DVD comedy starring the great George C. Scott. If you are a fan of George Scott, definitely check it out! He plays (wonderfully) a veteran con artist named Mordecai Jones who maintains that “you can’t cheat an honest …

Alice in Wonderland (2010) movie
Alice in Wonderland is the newest release on this old tale but it is a new twist on the story that we have all heard before. The man behind the magic this time is Tim Burton.
The story takes place when Allison is 19 returning to Wonderland, actually called …
Thelma and Louise
This is definately a movie worth watching if you haven’t seen it yet. It has Susan Surandon in it. It’s about two girls that go off on a trip and one of the girls get rapped along the way. I think it is a wonderful story and the whole …
The Watchmen (2009, Zack Snyder) film
You probably know the tag-line “Who is watching the watchmen?” and should add yourself to the list of people doing just that.
I’m a confessed sci-fi/fantasy geek, pretty up there in the scale but short of Klingon-speaking-Con-attending-Trekkie status. So I knew I would like this film. Even if you’re not …
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; …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Kate Hudson tries to tell us in this movie on “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. I am sure that even if she would like to get rid ofMatthew McConaughley, there are a lot of women who won’t mind have him around!
It seems that the on-screen …
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li
I knew going in that this movie was going to be bad, but really, this movie is terrible.
The story is wafer thin, it follows Chun-Li (who’s played by Kristin Kreuk even though the younger version of her is played by an Asian girl) as she tries to find her …
ShowPlace 16 movie theater Naperville IL
ShowPlace 16 movie theater, located at 2815 Showplace Dr., Naperville, IL, is always a pleasure to go to. It is a large, fancy theater with comfortable soft chairs set like in an amphitheater, which gives a much better view. Even on a busy night with some big hit movie …
Pieces of April
In “Pieces of April” we see the actress, Kate Holmes with an image of a bad girl who has a conflictual relationship with her family. The story of “Pieces of April” is good but unfortunately in certain moments in the middle of the movie it may lose it’s potential …
My Man Godfrey,1936 movie
This is an excellent, although old, black & white comedy. The story takes place in the 1930s New York. Homeless bums are trying to survive searching in the dumps when a fancy car pulls up, and two beautifully dressed, wealthy ladies alight. They are sisters, Cornelia (Gail Patrick) and …
Disturbia
My personal opinion about this movie, Disturbia is that Shia LaBeouf acted really well and he had given such a good performance in all. Disturbia is quite a disturbing movie, but in a positive way.
It has helped to churn out scary feelings and thoughts out of my …
The Last of the Mohicans movie
A great depiction of the classic novel by James Fenimore Cooper, directed by great visionary filmmaker Michael Mann who shows he’s not only good for gangster movies. A visually breathtaking film, but it also hits my heart on an emotional level. This is a lot thanks to the great …
Chorlette’s web
I watched the movie Chorlette’s web recently and I didn’t really like the movie at all. The movie which has Dakota Fanning in the lead role is just a mindless movie and it definitely doesn’t have any story at all. Dakota saves a piglet and she keeps it with …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This movie is set in the fifties. The ending is really surprising although the rest of the movie follows along just as you would expect you to. I thought the predictability of the movie was a real drag. It’s like I could have written the script …
Hot Fuzz
From the guys that brought you Shaun of the Dead, Wright, Frost, and Pegg, Hot Fuzz is the next in the spoof movie genre. This action movie spoof follows cop Simon Pegg who is relocated to a remote town where a series of mysterious “accidents” start to happen. …

Christmas in Connecticut is an old black and white movie that is so good and so funny. It stars Barbara Stanwyck and Dennis Morgan. The movie is about Elizabeth Lane, the country’s most loved food writer and house wife. She writes an article in a magazine about foods she …
Notting Hill (1999 movie)
Notting Hill was a sweet movie. I might be a bit biased because I really like Julia Roberts in romantic comedies and Hugh Grant is very good as the confused love interest (has he ever played a role where he knows what is going on?)
I particularly liked one montage …
Movie: Lake Consequence
Since my wife and I decided to do some early morning Black Friday shopping first thing this morning, we left the kids at my parents’ house last night. Since we finally had the house to ourselves for a change,we decided to watch a movie that was a little more …
Pledge This movie
I’m far from being a Paris Hilton fan. She’s an OK actress but isn’t someone that is going to have me going out of my way to rent a movie just to watch her. But, of all the movies we watched this past weekend, her film “Pledge This” surprisingly …
Land of the Dead movie
This is the fourth film in George A Romero’s zombie film series (supposed to be a trilogy, but..). It follows the films Night of the living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985). My own personal favorite is the first film, mostly because …
Angel In the Outfield (1996)
I love Disney movies. Its a relatively sad and often laughed at indulgence that I have. I particularly like it when they turn out a movie that makes me feel inspired and warm inside.
I think that one of my favorite movies of all time has to be Angels …
Batman Forever, movie
Val Kilmer’s time out as Batman isn’t a bad turn at the helm, but it’s certainly not as strong as the original 89 movie with Michael Keaton in the role. Still this film had a great caste, but it made the same mistake that has killed so many other …

El Cantante (R, 2007) movie
It’s amazing how you can go into a movie expecting horrible acting, and a bad plot. But Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have really tapped into a very interesting story about Hector Lavoe. Many people have never heard of this famous salsa king from New York City …
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004 Film)
After watching this 2004 comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”, starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Christina Applegate and more dynamite caste members I will forever remember the name Ron Burgundy. There’s something about the sexist lines, the mix of actors, and the infatuation of nearly everyone on the …

Little Man Tate movie
To-date, I have watched Little Man Tate three times. It has such an amazing topic, the subject of raising and educating individuals who are little Mozarts, like the so-called Little Man Tate in the film, who I think has that eidetic memory. There is a very tasty …

Catch and Release
In the movie “Catch and Release” we see the actress, Jennifer Garner with a sad face most of the time, but believe me this movie is by far not boring. One can describe best “Catch and Release” as a romantic movie about relationships and trust ideal for both women …
Masters of Horror : Pro Life (NR, 2007) movie
The Masters of Horror series is like a crap shoot. You never know what kind of mess (or jewel) you’re going to get. John Carpenter, the director behind this film did a fairly good job of creating suspense and horror. The film focuses on a 15 …
Fantasia (Disney)
Disney’s Fantasia is one of the best animated films ever made. I remember watching this film as a kid and being amazing. I think everyone who is a Disney fan should have this film in their collection. From my personal view I can that this movie is well worth the …
