“A Christmas Carol,” 2009 (Animation)
We went to see the new animated “Christmas Carol” movie yesterday. Like all new Disney animations, it is done in 3D; we got the 3D glasses as we bought the tickets, and paid $3 more per ticket because of it. It was well worth it though: I felt like …
The Women movie
When I agreed to take my wife to see the movie “The Women” my first thought was “what have I gotten myself into?” However, after watching it with her, I will admit, it wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be.
While obviously a classic chick flick, I found …

And The Little Dog Laughed - Garrick Theatre
And I laughed too. A lot.
This a surprising, fun, funny, touching play. It is a bitingly satirical look at Hollywood stardom. That makes it sound somehow predictable and dull - but I assure you it is far better than the synopsis.
It stars Rupert Friend as Mitchell, a Hollywood actor …

The Illusionist
“The Illusionist” and “The Prestige” had hit movie theaters with only about a month’s difference; they both tell a story of 19 century stage magicians in Europe. I don’t know whose idea it was to release two movies on the same subject at the same time and whether they …

Movie Georgia Rule
“Georgia Rule” is the film where we get to see the actress, Lindsey Lohan interpret the role of a bad girl with the name of Rachel Wilcox. With the reputation that Lohan has gained lately I don’t think she had a particular difficulty to fit in her role.
“Georgia Rule” deals …
The movie A Shark’s Tale
A Shark’s Tale is one of those movies that looks like it might be okay, but the thought of paying movie theater prices to see it scares the crap out of you. I had this problem on the one hand it had a really great cast. Even Robert De …
Clambake movie
From 1967, the movie musical Clambake stars the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. It’s not an award winner by any means, but it is a fun movie, albeit predictable. It’s just not a stretch of any of the performers’ acting talents. By this point, …
The Hangover
I was expecting big things when I rented The Hangover on DVD; I expected, given the trailers and my friends’ views, that I would be laughing uproariously the entire time. However, although there were some funny and witty moments, I was disappointed. It had good moments, when I did …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse movie
The sequel to the zombie movie Resident Evil, which in its turn was based on a video game. Milla Jovovich returns as the sexy female hero who fights the blod-thirsty creatues with elegance and cleverness. The first film was in my opinion at bad as a film can possibly …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Official Movie Trailer
I found the trailer to the upcoming movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, on youtube. For those who don’t know, this movie is based on the book and because the book was so long (over seven hundred pages), the movie will be in two installments. This …
Code Name: The Cleaner
These kind of movies, when done well, are excellent movies to see. When done poorly, they are a disaster. There is no middle ground with these kind of movies. With Code Name: The Cleaner, we have a fast-paced, twisting plot that kept me guessing around every corner, as Cedric …

Seven Year Itch, movie (1955)
Despite over fifty years passing since her death, Marilyn Monroe remains one of cinema’s most renown blonde bombshells. Her sex symbol status was no mystery to me. She had the look that would stop traffic. With Seven Year Itch, she gave film one of its most …
Another Cinderellla Story
For Christmas I got the movie “Another Cinderella Story”. I rate this movie as a 7. It was pretty good, and the story line was cute because it goes with this decade.

He’s Just Not That Into You
My husband and I saw this movie last weekend. We went to a Sunday matinee and the theatre was PACKED! The theatre was full of mostly girls, but my husband didn’t mind too much. This is definitely a chick flick.

Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, An Animated Movie
I have to admit that I am a Tim Burton fan. I loved nightmare before Christmas, but when this movie came out in 2005 I wasn’t really all that interested in buying it because the title was just a little too obvious. The title completely gave away the whole …

Mr. Bean’s Holiday
I have always been a fan of the television show Mr. Bean. I enjoyed the first Mr.Bean movie and I must say Mr. Bean’s Holiday is far better and funnier than the first one! Mr. Bean is played by the British actor, Rowan Atkinson. His adventure began when Mr. …

I Can Do Bad All By Myself film (2009)
I Can Do Bad All By Myself is another one of my favorite films from the director Tyler Perry. In my honest opinion I feel like this one of his best pieces compared to some of his recent work. I also call this one a classic because it’s well …
Hostel Part II
Hostel Part II is damn unsettling. I was so scared out of my mind watching this, and I have a great reason for it. If those of you who have watched Hostel Part I before felt that the movie experimented with a clubhouse type of hostel sponsored …

This film quietly snuck up on us in the early 1980’s. It’s a science fantasy film that, boiled down, is essentially the classic plot: boy meets girl, boy loves girl, boy gets girl.
The boy and girl are Corwyn and Lyssa. And in the beginning they are to be married, …
Film 1408
I had been looking forward to the big screen adaption of Stephen King’s excellent short story 1408 from his collection Everything’s Eventual. I’d heard quite a few positive reviews and heard that it didn’t do too bad at the box office either, which was unexpected and hopefully a good …
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 …
Friday the 13th Part 3
Friday the 13th part 3 is a movie that makes me laugh, though not in a good way. Part of it is the bad special effects, while a larger part is simply how dated the movie is after all these years. It makes me wonder how they ever based …
Transformers Animated Series - Soundwave Action Figure

500 Days of Summer: Movie
500 Days of Summer is quite an interesting, and unique film. I decided to watch it after hearing of comparisons with Garden State, which I loved.

If you are looking for a film that will be sure to give you a creepy crawly feeling, be sure to rent Arachnaphobia.

Starring Jeff Daniels, …
Wall-e
I watched the Disney movie Wall-e today with my family. I thought it was cute and entertaining. It got to be a little boring in parts but other than that it was a really good movie. If I could sum the movie up in one word it would be …
