Threads of Time (2012 Chinese Movie)
Thread of Time is a romance film with some documentary aspects that follows the life of a talented prostitute, Liu Ru Shi.
I don’t know what to make of this movie, it is the first of its kind that I’ve watched. It is atmospheric but awfully slow and mellow. The dialogues …
Suspect X - (Japanese movie with English subtitles)
I thought that this is going to be a super amazing movie story but it just disappoints me to the max. The actors aren’t that bad looking and quite talented and this is like a normal cop movie where Suspect X is the mystery in the story. Yukawa …
Jurassic Park: The Movie

Pitch Perfect (movie)
One of the movies that I was privileged to watch as of recently was an unexpected gem called Pitch Perfect. I call this unexpected because when I first saw the trailer for this movie, I was much less than interested in seeing it. I was never much of a …

The Majestic
I loved this movie. Jim Carrey proves once again that he has some real talent, not just silly-funny gestures and faces. He plays a movie writer who loses his memory after a car accident and is mistakenly recognized as a missing war hero in a small town. He just …

The Brat Pack
Some of my favorite actors of all time were from the so-called “Brat Pack” of the ’80s. There is some debate on which actors are actually considered part of the Brat Pack. The undisputed ones are of course Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelsom, Andrea McCarthy, Anthony Michael Hall, …
Casino Movie
I think Casino is one of the greatest Mob movies ever made. Joe Pesci does a great job of playing Nicky Santoro. I also think that Robert Deniro did a great job as Sam he hustler. I think the movie really tells the story of how mob bosses used …
The Bourne Legacy movie
My husband and I finally watched “The Bourne Legacy” last night. I was so excited to watch this movie, as I am huge fan of the other “Bourne” movies. I am also a fan of Jeremy Renner and Edward Norton, so I had high hopes as we sat …

In Big Daddy, Adam Sandler’s character, Sonny, is dumped with Julian, his friend’s child. Julian, the little boy, has a lisp and needs lots of attention. Sonny is definitely not a parent, he�s just a guy who tip toes through his life. Sonny really doesn’t have much going on, …

Can’t Buy Me Love, movie
Although there are many films out there about the diamond in the rough teenager who just needs a little push to be less awkward, none quite matches the charm of this film with Patrick Dempsey long before he was famous. In fact it has hard to imagine the man …
The Bourne Ultimatum
The Bourne Ultimatum is the last and final chapter in the Bourne series. Also, in my opinion, the best of the trilogy. This last statement is saying a lot because I really LOVED the first two movies in the series. I though they were some of …
Children of men
When I first saw the description for Children of Men, I thought it was definitely a unique concept; a man is trying to help the first pregnant woman on the planet in more than 18 years. But, after watching the movie, I have to say the execution wasn’t the …

The Ring Two
I am not sure if like the movie “The Ring”, “The Ring Two” was also based on the remake of a Japanese horror film. However, “The Ring Two” was the sequel of the movie “The Ring.” I would have preferred instead if this movie was a prequel to the …
Primeval
A movie by Orlando Jones, Gideon Emery, Dominic Purcell, Brooke Langton and Jurgen Prochnow.
To me, a disppointing movie. I was really looking forward to seeing the 20 feet man-eating crocodile in full fledge actions, like what I saw with Anacondas or Lake Placid. It was not to be.
The story …
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Identity introduces the world to Jason Bourne, a former CIA operative who is suffering amnesia. It follows his fact paces, death defying journey to discover the truth about who he is. I love the first real action scence in the movie where he’s in the bank and …

Salt the Movie
Salt is actually both simple and hard to examine —“ and for that same cause. That cause is which Salt is really a business choice movie as well as from which perspective this works pretty much. But that does mean that it’s completely emptiness of innovative spark.
This is actually …

The film The Secret
I found this “The Secret” to be quite ridiculous, a tad boring, and totally unrealistic. This “movie” generated much hype a couple of years ago and, like most, I fell for it all and ran out to rent it. BIG mistake. It spends two agonizing hours …
The House Bunny movie
We were watching some of our movie channels last night and came across The House Bunny.
