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. …

After a couple of years of cancellation, this Dead Like Me movie which is sub-titled Life After Death was done with most of the original cast except for Mandy Patinkin and Laura Harris. Harris’ Daisy character was recast with Sarah Wynter. The opening integrates a comic book …

I’m one of those people who strongly believe that it is possible to tell when a movie is not going to be very good. Therefore, when I saw the trailer for the movie “Lets Be Cops” for the first time, I knew it was going to be one of …

“Grindhouse” consists of two wildly entertaining films, “Planet Terror,” written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, and “Death Proof,” written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Both fall into a category that can partially be described as an homage to low-budget exploitation cinema popular in the 1970’s and the kind of …

I have to say, I never really understood the fuss over Andy Warhol movies. I saw the film Blood for Dracula the other night. While the movie sounded good in the description (Dracula is growing old and needs virgin blood to survive); the movie itself was actually one of …

I usually like movies based on fairy tales and, overall, the film Enchanted wasn’t bad. But, I think the movie used too much of the same-old format to make it good.
Amy Adams was decent as a princess who is sent from a fairy-tale world to New York City. But, …

I remember first seeing the trailers for “Legally Blonde” when the movie came out in 2001; they promised some laughs, but overall, I wasn’t impressed and did not go to see the movie. Elle, the main character, seemed too “girly” for me: a fashion-freak blonde wearing pink & high …

This was a fun, entertaining comedy to watch and one I really enjoyed. I had never heard of it before when I found it on my library’s movie shelf, but it looked interesting so I checked it out. I’m glad I did, as it really is a gem.
Basically …

Quarantine must have been written during the writers strike or at least by a nephew of a producer. How a script like this is green lit makes even a hack like me think I could do better. I don’t know if this was …

Although I’m not a militant person for some reason I’m particularly fond of war movies. Naturally I look forward to whatever movie festivals are aired on television for Veterans Day. Although many of the movies are often the standards such as the excellent “The Longest Day,” the engaging “The …

I recently loaded the movie Monsters Inc on our netflix player for my daughter to watch. She hasn’t seen this movie before. I have and I think it is a great animated film.
The thing I like about this movie is the unique plot. You have a bunch of monsters …

If you want a movie that embodies the term “girl power”, it is definitely the feature film Erin Brockovich. Other than it being the movie that won Julia Roberts an Oscar for Best Actress in 2001, it narrates the life story of the eccentric but street-smart main character …

When I saw the dvd at the house of a friend, I could not help thinking that the name “Battle Planet” sounded familiar. However, later on I learned that the movie was actually a Syfy original science fiction movie, and after reading a good, review on it, I was …

While looking for another comedy to watch, I came across a not-so-popular movie that was considered as a gem by a number of people who watched it. I was informed that watching it generally evoked one of two strong feelings in an audience as I would either love it or …

The husband and I recently watched the movie “Across the Universe”. I had been looking forward to it for quite awhile since I am a big Beatles fan. We were not disapointed and I was pleased to see my husband get so into a musical.
Previews of the …

Just one year after Oklahoma, Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae reunited in Carousel, which is another classic movie musical. The chemistry was still there, though the ending is very different, in part by the nature of the story itself.
My favorite part of the movie, though, is the ending …

Just from reading the synopsis on Netflix, Ice Twisters looked as if it was going to be a lower budget copy-cat disaster movie with a weather theme. That’s exactly what it was. But, to be fair, it was enjoyable, more so than I would have expected. When the film …

I have seen a lot of scary movies in my life but I have to say that 1408 was very possibly the scariest. There are few movies I can think of, certainly made recently, that have so effectively scared the willies out of me. I was actually …

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. As a politician, I never liked Ronald Reagan. I think he acted his way through the presidency. However, as an actor, I really enjoy his performances, including this one as baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander. He’s …

I am a big fan of Dan Brown’s novels. They are, for me, the kind of books that I could finish in one sitting, simply because they are too thrilling that I can’t keep my hands off it. So when it was announced that this is going to be …

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 …

In the movie Happy Feet, penguins must find their heart song in order to find their life partner. The main character Mumble has an issue with finding his heart song- he can not sing. It is kind of implied that something happened during the incubating period that resulted his …

WOW! It’s the only word I could find once I watched this new Die Hard movie for the fifth time. I couldn’t honestly believe how incredibly good it was. I thought Bruce WIllis was too old to pull off that officer McClane roll again. But, then again, people laughed …

I normally like murder mysteries, especially ones that don’t review who the killer is until the very end. However, in the case of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, I was very disappointed.
The movie centers around Robert Downey Jr who plays an actor who impersonates a private eye and Val Kilmer, …

I have a great time going to the movies with my husband and daughter. We have really been looking forward to WALL-E coming out in the theatres. The trailers for it looked great. We finally got to see it last Saturday. We were really excited. …

I recently rented Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street Starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bohnam Carter. I have never seen the play or had even actually heard of it outside of the Jersey Girl movie so I went in with a fresh mind.
I already knew …

Most barbarian movies are pretty sweet. No matter how much you tease them or find out every flaw, these movies grab your attention and they never let go until the last person in the credits gets their due. Barbarian Queen does just that and it does something else that …

“To Sir with Love” is one of my all time favorite movies. I’ve seen it dozens of times and I still cry every time I see the movie. I think it is the ultimate teacher movie ever. The 1967 Columbia British Productions movie was filmed in color and lasts …

As a stamp collector and a huge Star Trek fan, I jumped at the chance to get this cool-looking collectible. The Star Trek 1991 Cachet was issued by Paramount Pictures, in association with the United States Postal Service, in celebration of Star Trek’s twenty-fifth anniversary.
It’s an awesome display …

When the trailer for the movie “Transcendence” was released I have to admit that I wasn’t very interested in watching it. What made it even worse was that I had no interest in seeing the movie even later, since I was seeing too many bad reviews on it, and it …
