The Counterfeiters (2007) Movie
I just came across this movie title in Rottentomatoes.com when I was surfing the web looking for good movies to watch. I saw this and it was a German Film. This film is based on the true story in 1936, when Germany’s best forger, Salomon Sorowitsch, was sent to …

Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …
John Q: Movie
John Q has been a favourite of mine for years; it is a great demonstration of how you can combine family drama and a little bit of action thrown in too.
I think the plot is brilliant and, before things kick off, gives you a very emotional opinion of the …
Killer Diller movie
Killer Diller, a 1948 movie doesn’t really feel like a movie. What it feels more like is a cavalcade of talent, African Americans who could really put on a show. Having never seen this before, I was amazed by the show and pretty much enjoyed it all.
Again, …
The Golden Compass movie
I watched this today with my younger sister. I was surprised at how interested I was in the movie. Most of the time when I watch movies with her I just do it to relax and I sometimes pay real attention to the movies but other times I just …
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
What an amazing movie. At first glance, it seemed like it had the ability to be good and bad. I had heard of books before, but never really knew about what Pirates of the Caribbean was about, except for Pirates sailing in the Caribbean.
Let’s start with the concept of …

Chronicles of Narnia, one big bore
When the Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe came out, I remember wanting to go see it at the theater only to find it was always sold out. Now that I’ve seen it on DVD, I’m glad I didn’t waste my money.
I’m not really sure …
Movie The Holiday
I like this movie, not love, like. I watch this movie at the first place because of the casts in it, I mean, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, wow! This is a drama/comedy kind of movie. The plot is kind of interesting, about two women …
There Will Be Blood, epic drama film
Directed and written by Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood is one of my favorite films of all times. The movie comes in two formats for the DVD, the single disc and the two disc special edition. Both offer the film in its entirety, but the one is …

Dreamcatcher
This movie is based on the novel by Stephen King, which I managed to finish in one setting, so I figured the movie had to be good. And it WAS fairly entertaining, though it got a little cheezy towards the end. The movie basically is about four friends who …
Dawson’s Creek
When Dawson’s Creek was on the air in primetime, my daughter was a teenager. She used to bug me to watch it and we began “letting” her take over the TV to watch it each week. At first, her Dad and I would go sit outside or do …
The Lovely Bones
I had read the book and really wanted to see this movie. I took my daughter with me, as she had read the book as well. We were both hoping for a different ending than the book had, and we were happy to see an ending we both liked. …
The Babysitters (R, 2007)
I know that there are literally tons of movies out there in which a young, impressionable 9or not so impressionable) teen gets involved with a married husband and father. This movie puts a little spin on that typical story, with the young babysitter following through on her “talents” by …
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
In the movie “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen” one can see Lindsey Lohan dreaming to become an actress and Megan Fox interpret the role of a mean girl. An interesting fact is that, while in this movie Lohan is the lead actress, in the present situation Megan Fox …
The Shawshank Redemption
The Shawshank Redemption is a very good movie that may take you several times of watching before you really get all the little nuances that are going on. At least for me, that is what happened. I got the big picture right away, but it took several viewings to …
Movie Deja Vu
I watched this a while back with my mother. Both of us really enjoyed the movie. It kept us entertained and interested during the whole film. Denzel Washington plays in it as one of the main characters. It’s a unique movie, I really enjoyed watching it. It was a …

The Shawshank Redemption
I must admit that I wasn’t expecting much out of the movie “The Shawshank Redemption”. At the time I wasn’t aware that this movie was nominated for 7 Oscars. I felt that after watching endless episodes of the TV series “Prison Break”, I doubted that there was any prison …
TRAITOR, The Movie Jeffrey Nachmanoff
An extraordinary film, which is supported by the story and that is not normal. Where we see from the two sides. Contrasting with the Kingdom of the most talked about police searching for evidence. But this movie, we see from the two sides are different. Not many movie scenes …
Memoirs Of A Geisha (movie)
Memoirs Of A Geisha is one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen. The scenery was stunning, even when Chiyo, our main character, is running through busy, dirty streets. The women in this movie were all lovely, from young girls to older matrons. I was told that I …
16 Blocks
I’m tired this morning. I had hoped to go to bed at a decent hour last night but then the movie 16 Blocks came on television. My wife and I started watching it and had intended to turn it off early; figuring it would be on again another day. …
The Garden (NR, 2006) movie
I was a little apprehensive about this film. It looks low-budget from the Netflix description. And none of the other reviews gave it a riveting description. But I must admit that I liked the premise. And as the story went along, I was …

Unrest (R, 2006) movie
This horror film is part of an 8-film Horrorfest (festival) and I must admit that it was part corny/part “good”. A group of medical students working on a set of cadavers discover that one of them is not actually “dead.” Of course there is a stream …
Napoleon Dynamite
Napoleon Dynamite is now in my top 10 funniest movies. Wow what is not to like about this movie! I mean Napoleon Dynamite looks so funny and goofy in those big glasses he wears! He also looks very funny when he walks. The way he talks is ever funny. I …

Caddyshack 2 Movie
While I am not one of the biggest fans of golf, I love Caddyshack 2. And believe me, it’s not for the golf. It’s for the comedy. While I have seen the first Caddyshack, I saw the second movie first and I always seem to rotate back to the …
Evan Almighty
This is a really fun movie. Players are Steve Carell, Morgan Freeman, Lauren Graham and some others. Steve Carell is as funny as he can be. Morgan Freeman show up occasionally, not a very big role. Lauren Graham is cute. It is a story …
Girl Positive movie
I’ve honestly never sat down to watch Lifetime movies before. But, after seeing the movie Girl Positive, I think I’ll be doing that more often.
At first, I didn’t know what to think about the movie, which is meant to be an honest portrayal of how the HIV virus can …
“Ping-Pong king” movie
From the beginning, it promises to be a simple, serene atmosphere of the story in Scandinavian cinema directors (Moodysson “Only together,” Hamer “Kitchen Stories” and Kormakur “101 Reykjavik” is just a few items, which first arose at the thought.) One common similarity is the small-town background events, which allows …
Cloak & Dagger
This film came out shortly after Henry Thomas came to worldwide attention in E.T. Well-cast in this role, this was the type of role best suited for Henry Thomas. He comes across as a kid with a great imagination and this movie blends both creatively.
It is the story of …
Lars and the Real Girl Movie (2007)
After watching Lars and the Real Girl I am proven once more that you cannot judge a movie by its plot description. When I read that the movie is about a lonely man who develops a deep and romantic relationship with a doll he orders only, my reaction …
IT (movie)
I think the movie IT is one of the best and scariest movies ever made. This is a movie that will make you afraid of clowns after you watch it. It is one of the darkest and most evil movie ever made. I was horrified by the sinister appearance …
The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb
I picked up The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb because it was cheap ($6.44) and because it looked somewhat interesting, if a bit derivative. Derivative is right, this two-part mini-series steals liberally from both the Indiana Jones franchise as well as the Mummy series.
Does the Curse of King …

Pirates 3: At World’s End
I am reviewing the third installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, called At World’s End. Okay, so the first movie was fantastic. The second movie was good. The third…terrible. What were those writers thinking? I am a huge Pirates of the Caribbean fan, but I …
Death at the Funeral Movie
I didn’t know funeral’s can be funny. It speaks of lamentation and grievance of a loss of a loved one but in Death at the Funeral, it was the otherwise. It is funny but not rude and stupid. It is pure raw fun. The movie does starts …
Invictus: Movie
I thought that Invictus was a good, well-made film but had it not been based on true events, I’m not sure I would have been interested.
Rugby is not a sport that I have any real interest in, but the history that this film shows I feel was important. Nelson …
