Blue Streak movie
“Blue Streak” is one of Martin Lawrence’s great movies. If you enjoyed his interpretation of “Big Momma’s House” films, then I can guarantee that you will definitely enjoy watching this movie which Lawrence did just a year before the “Big Momma” hit movies.
What I really liked about this movie, …
Because of Winn-Dixie (2005 movie)
I remember seeing the ads for this movie when it first hit theaters several years ago. I had no idea what the storyline was. All I knew was that it was about a girl and her dog, and that alone was enough to make me want to see it. …
Man On Fire-Denzel Washington (2004)
Once again Denzel Washington has outdone himself. This compelling store left me in awe. He was definitely a man on a mission that took no prisoners. I had never imagined him in such a role as this before. I had always seen him in such light hearted roles. The …
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 …
Movie Rush Hour 3
When they came out with a 3rd Rush Hour movie, my first thought was “this will have a few laughs but will fail to live up to the first two movies.” After watching the movie this past weekend, I can now say I was wrong. This movie might actually …

Munich (2005) is a drama from director Steven Spielberg and is rated R by the MPAA for strong graphic violence, some sexual content, nudity and language.

Funny People (2009) movie
I’m a huge fan of Judd Apatow films but I have to say this one missed the mark for me. It has a strong cast of comedy but the plot just never seemed to come together for me and it just seemed some what thrown together.
The main character Ida …
X-Men Movie
I marveled at the thought that an X-Men movie was going to be made at last, but all that was cut to threads when I finally saw the film. While the plot is comic like as it should be, it was without intrigue. Some of the characters where well …
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning Movie

Fright Night Movie
A couple of days ago I had the pleasure to watch again the remake of the 1985 film “Fright Night” , another remake of an old movie with Colin Farrell in one of the main roles. I liked it as much as the first time and let me tell …
Phat Girlz
I’m not a big “Chick Flik” guy but when I read the description of Phat Girlz and how it’s about a woman who tries to create a clothing line for bigger women, I was a bit intrigued. Too bad the movie is nothing like it’s description.
The problem with Phat …
Just Like Heaven movie
I watch Just like Heaven when I was flipping through channels and saw Resse Witherspoon, whose movies I love, mainly her chick flicks. I thought Just like heaven’s story line was unconventional and yet hard to believe although a bit eager to want to have. I did however end …
The Family That Preys movie (2008)
The Family That Prey is another movie from Tyler Perry that is one of my personal favorites. I have loved it ever since the day I first watched it. Like most of Tyler Perry films and plays they have a moral and usually some kind of twist to the …

A silly, mindless, inane show about high school kids and cultish murders! The usual …
Cinderella Movie
Cinderella is easily one of my favorite Disney movies of all time and I’ve probably seen it 50 times over the years. I used to baby sit a little girl who absolutely had to watch the movie every night before she went to bed and even then I never …

Samuel L. Jackson co stars along side with Christina Ricci in a unique film that has a interesting and unusual plot line and reference structure! The film takes place in a small populated very country setting! The films about a man who takes in a girl and wishes to …
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008 Movie)
Though I’m not usually one for war-based dramas, this movie grabbed hold of my heart and broke it in two with one of the saddest endings I’ve seen in a long time. The story is simple; A young boy, Bruno, is forced to move from his peaceful home full …
Spirited Away animation
“Spirited Away” presents remarkable detail in the way of animation. The creator of the animation is Hiyao Miyazaki. The storyline itself is highly imaginative. Suffice it to say: much goes into proper animation of a movie. During the process sometimes there is a tendency …
Just Friends comedy
The first time I watched the “Just Friends” Dvd, I was nearly in tears. I love this movie. The actors play their roles so well, that the viewer is fully capable of feeling sympathy, embarrassment, anger, joy, ect for all of the characters. I can’t begin to recall the …
The Bells of St. Mary’s
The Bells of St. Mary’s is the sequel to Going My Way and stars Bing Crosby as Father O’Malley out to save another part of the Church. This time, it’s not a parish that needs him, but a school which is in crisis. His skeptical foe this …

The Disaster Artist (2017 Biographical Comedy-Drama Film)
A lot of biopics (or movies about real people) are made about successful people who did amazing jobs in their respective fields. I can’t think of many films that do the opposite until The Disaster Artist. A movie about director Tommy Wiseau who made the worst (as some would say) …
Tom and Jerry Cartoon
Hats-off to the creators of all time comedy cartoon Tom and Jerry. This MGM’s wonderful cartoon movie , stolen the hearts of millions of people from kids to the adults. I have good collection of this world famous entertainment. The creation of characters Tom and Jerry itself …
Sully (2016 Biographical Drama Film)
A Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks joint biopic sounds too good to be true. But it is 2017 now and apparently anything could happen. Back in the beginning of 2016, I greatly waited for this, but when the time it became available in cinemas I told myself to just wait …
The Master Blackmailer
I am reviewing The Master Blackmailer, a Sherlock Holmes movie produced by Granada television in the 1990s. It stars Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. In this movie, Holmes pits his powers against a master blackmailer, who has been blackmailing people for fortunes …
Movie Once
“Once” is a good musical movie, but could have been better if the shooting of this movie was more on a steady level. I personally watched this film at home and I am grateful because if I ended up watching it at the cinema, I definitely would have felt …
When in Rome (movie) 2010
I watched this movie because occasionally the girls and I like to get together for some good chick flick fun. We’d heard this was one of the latest romantic comedies going around, and ‘Rome’ sounded nice and romantic and all that.
At the beginning, the movie seemed typical enough …
Twilight Saga: New Moon
As you may have noticed, the next movie in the Twilight Saga, New Moon, was just released November 20, 2009. I went to the 9:30am showing at my local AMC Theater. I have read all the books for the series. Let me start the reivew by saying, …
Hatchet
When I read the description of the 2006 movie Hatchet, I figured it was going to be a low-budget film that relied heavily on blood and gore and not much on actual plot. Sadly, I was correct.
While the movie did have flashes of potential, it turned out to be …
The Object of My Affection
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Object of My Affection” and the movie released in 2000 “The Next Best Thing”. Both of these movies tackle the issue of gay people involved in bringing up children and, unfortunately both of them, are not impressive movies.
What was lacking …
Leapfrog: A Tad of Christmas Cheer
I was letting our daughter watch some Christmas movies I came across on Netflix and one of them turned out to be better than expected; Leapfrog: A Tad of Christmas Cheer.

I Spy (starring Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy)
Whenever there is a movie starring Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson, it’s best to watch. A couple of weeks back, I remember renting I Spy and it’s such a truly entertaining movie altogether and not to mention I have a few quick laughs as well as long ones. …
Mongolian Death Worm Movie
I took off yesterday afternoon and, since I discovered there isn’t anything good on TV Friday afternoons, I ended up watching a movie I had DVR’d a couple weeks ago; Mongolian Death Worm.
The movie, which in my opinion is pretty much a rip off of the film Tremors, was …

However, there is something mysterious going on and the …
Close My Eyes (R, 1991) movie
First of all, let the record show that I am in love with Clive Owen. He has this really intense look that he brings to his films. This movie is fairly old. I’d never heard of it before. And when I saw the subject matter, …

The Wedding Date movie
When I rented the Wedding Date with my wife, I thought it was going to be just another chick flick with a sappy plot. However, I found it was actually a very funny and entertaining movie.
Debra Messing is absolutely stunning in this film as she plays a single woman …
When a man loves a woman
The best way to describe the movie “When a Man Loves a Woman” is a touching story about alcoholism and how it can break a healthy family apart. Med Ryan’s and Andy Garcia’s interpretation in this movie is simply wonderful. I am sure this movie touched a lot …
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace movie
It looks like Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace took a lot of time coming. It was almost like the long wait for James Cameron’s Avatar, many years after Titanic established itself as the unbeatable hit. Therefore, when it finally came to the theaters, naturally …
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
One of my favorite family movies growing up was Mrs. Doubtfire. It’s one of Robin Williams’ best movies, I think. In it, he plays the father of three children that he hardly gets to see because of his divorce. So, he disguises himself as a senior-age …

Project Almanac (science fiction movie)
