One Christmas movie that I have really enjoyed ever since I first watched it was the 1994 film The Santa Clause. There was so much magic in this film and gave viewers a first glance look at the North Pole, which is of course every child’s dream, and the …

When I saw the previews for this movie I knew I wanted to see it. You, me and Dupree didn’t let me down. I laughed so hard I nearly made puddles beneath my chair. Kate Hudson plays the disgruntled new wife so well you’d swear every …

A direct cause and effect product of my personal favorite film of all times Gladiator (2000), Kingdom of Heaven takes us where history of the Middle Ages has always talked about-the Crusades. It is a film that inspired me for the heroic part of that time’s history.

Any movies that receive Academy Award nominations tend to increase my expectations on what to expect when I finally do see them (I usually wait until they come out on DVD, rather than go to a theatre). So Crazy Heart was right up there with the other Best Picture …

Drawing upon its Hitchcockian influences, Disturbia is Rear Window for a modern audience. Instead of being confined to his apartment with a broken leg, Kale Brecht (Shia LaBeouf) is confined to his house, under house arrest, for rattling the skull of one of his teachers. He has an ankle …

Wishing Well is a 2009 TV movie that aired on the Hallmark Channel. It fits the mode of family film, but it’s a very old plot, one that has been re-used to death over the past few years.
Here’s the plot. Big city girl gets sent to small …

I think that just about everyone remembers Sky Kids and Sky Kids 2. It seemed to be really popular for awhile and then just died out. It as not long after Spy Kids 2 came out that the previews for Shark Boy and Lava Girl came out.
Let me …

I watched this film last night, never even having heard of it before. It was made in 1999 and stars a very young looking Ewen McGregor and Susan Lynch. The film tells the story of the stormy relationship between the Irish writer James Joyce and his wife Nora, who …

My wife has been wanting to see the movie Shutter Island for some time now. So, for our anniversary this past weekend, I decided to take her to the theater to see it.
It was OK but I’m not sure it was as good as she expected.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as …

This movie, Life Size is an unlikely acting duo from Lindsay Lohan and Tyra Banks. I bet not many people have watched this on movies nor DVD before, right..? In fact, I wouldn’t even realize its existence had it not been for my sweet of a cousin who …

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service with George Lazenby, Diana Rigg, and Telly Savalas.
I had never seen this film, but I always wondered why this was Lazenby’s only movie as James Bond. Well I now know why. This rough looking big eared Scot was not …

The movie Happy Feet was one of the best children’s movies I have seen this year.
The soundtrack was awesome. I was amazed at the computer graphics used in the movie. The penguins looked real as well as the other animals.
One of the things that most impressed me …

I’m really not sure if I’ve ever seen Hedy Lamarr in a movie. I’ve grown up knowing about her and having heard some tales of the legendary Hollywood actress, but I honestly can’t recall seeing her in the movies. Thus, I was intrigued to see what she …

Weather Man, starring Nicholas Cage, was released in number of years ago and was not highly successful in the box office. Perhaps this was because it was such a “different” kind of movie. It wasn’t quite a comedy, though it had some funny parts, and it wasn’t …

Though it contains crude humor at times, The Hangover is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. The only bad thing I have to say about this movie is that the storyline did not seem to flow very well at a couple points in …

I admit that I entered in the theater with quite low expectations, being a fan of horror movies, I decided to give it a try for the following two reasons, first- it’s a horror movie, second- it is made in digital 3-D.
first of all, Hats off to the filmmakers for …

I don’t normally like the actor Jack Black in movies, and I don’t normally like his movies either. In fact, one of the few which I remember liking was “Saving Silverman”. This is why I found it so difficult to watch the movie “School of Rock” after it was …

I had seen the movie “Devil in a Blue Dress” being shown on a few cable television movie channels for years, but never watched it at the time since I just didn’t think that I would have any interest in the movie. However, recently since I have begun to …

Back in the 1980s, you could make a movie about Pro Wrestling and people might buy into the storylines. But, with most people today realizing that the matches they see on television and pay-per-view are pre-determined, trying to make a modern movie about the “sport” just doesn’t work.
That’s why …

Although I’d heard beforehand that the movie wasn’t very good, I was still determined to watch Hot Pursuit . At the time I’d wanted something fairly lightweight that I could enjoy without thinking too much. It turns out that while it was the type of movie I was looking for, …

Side Effects was one of those movies that I didn’t watch because of how if was apparently received by quite a number of people. It didn’t even get a great rating on it’s IMDB page and so I just left it or ignored it till I eventually forgot about it. …

This was definately a movie that I remember. I really enjoyed watching the whole movie. The whole thing was entertaining and exciting to watch. The two main characters were very good together in the movie and I really enjoyed watching each other act in the movie. It’s a great …

I’m not going to lie. I thought Ocean’s 12 was absolutely terrible! Ocean’s 11 was, in my opinion, a very solid movie, that I thoroughly enjoyed. So when the third in line of the sequel was announced, I was a bit skeptical. But, nonetheless, I …

Ever since I’ve watched Twilight I’ve been a Kristen Stewart fan. So I decided to find some of her movies and I found this movie Cake Eaters.
The movie is set on a small town wherein the characters are loosely intertwined and how they’re confronting their past up to …

I recently saw a movie call The Stoning of Soraya M. This movie was really moving to me and I feel that I must write a review on it. This movie is based on a true story. It takes place in …

I am not a big fan of anime and Death Note was one of the first that I have watched. Though I have heard some of my die-hard anime fanatic friends going gaga over this, I still am not that keen on watching it. But I was glad I …

Synopsis: Two train company employees must chase down a runaway locomotive and stop it or slow it down before it derails; spilling the toxic chemicals that it is carrying with it.
What I liked about this movie: I think the best part of this movie for me was all the …

Like thousands before me, I adore Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I initially only consented to watch the movie because James Stewart played the main role. As a teenager, he was one of my idols, and I watched every movie he played in which I could get my …

I’ve said this before but, when it comes to Horror films, they are either very scary or very dull. Unfortunately for the Fog, it was the latter.
The problem with the Fog is it was just like every other horror film. An evil fog engulfs a small town and ghosts …

The Eye is one of those movies that I kind of wanted to see, but I really wasn’t sure if I would like it. As one of those rare (very rare) horror fans that never really liked the Japanese imports, I’ve been more than a little disappointed at the …

I found this film really enjoyable, and a tearjerker too.
And in my humble opinion, a much better romantic comedy than a lot of Stiller’s recent outings - e.g. Along Came Polly, Meet the Fockers etc.
Ben Stiller and Ed Norton play a Rabbi and a Priest respectively. They are …

I’m sure many people have watched Freedom Writers, the movie before. However, I just managed to watch this on DVD the other few nights back and this is indeed a true story that I certainly has learned a lot just by watching.
This is like a gang …

This is the first movie, in my opinion, since the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that will remain a classic for decades to come. There are not enough superlatives to describe this movie. Everything, EVERYTHING, is flawless in my eyes. The acting in unreal. The …

First, and foremost, Bruce Willis. Need I say more. I have yet to see a film where Bruce Willis was not playing a part written for him or a part that he did not do justice to with his own …

We always go to the movies at least once a week. Last Saturday we saw the movie Beowold. It was made for 3D and it had the features of Anthony Hopkins as the aging king and Angelina Jolie as the witch.
everyone has read Beowolf in high …

Seriously? Another coming-of-age/young adult movie? Well yes, that is what I expected when I watched this film last night. However, when the film ended, I accused myself of immediately judging the book by its own cover. What happens inside this movie is structurally the same as almost any young adult …

I can honestly say that the fourth film of the “Pirates of Carribean” series worried me. The first three films were remarkably casted, well laid out, and left me laughing and one the edge of my seat with suspence. However, after seeing the fourth film in theaters, “Pirates of …

Released at the turn of the century Mouse Hunt is ridiculous in the extreme, in fact in places it is almost too silly to laugh at - well that’s how I see it but I’m sure there are those out there who will not agree with me.
The Smuntz brothers …

Cute movie, very out there, but the children love it. I would say it would be a great movie to add to ur collection especially if you have children. I can’t say I think Jerry Seinfeld’s voice matched the bee. I would like to see more of a younger …

I am reviewing the movie, A League of the their Own, which was released in 1997. Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Madonna are just a few big stars that acted in this incredible movie about the first ever woman’s baseball team. Tom Hanks plays Jimmy Dugan, who in …
