Ever since Harry Potter books first touched bookstores, people across the world have been falling in love with the magical world that the creator of the book, J.K Rowling has created. Once these novels started hitting the big screen, it was almost impossible to escape the mass madness of …
You’ve Got Mail movie
You’ve Got Mail (1998) Starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks is a classic meg flick. She’s at her usual, quirky best; off beat and fun.
Hanks also known for his romantic comedies, mostly co-starring along side Meg; this movie won’t disappoint you.
You’ve Got Mail, a blast from the past remake …
Minutemen
The best words to describe the movie “Minutemen” is a teen version of the movie “Back to the Future” based in high school. Although this is another Disney movie with a high school story, one can never compare this movie to the very much renowned and loved “High School …
Bratz
When we rented the movie Bratz, we figured it would be something our daughter would enjoy since she collects the toys. Turns out, she didn’t even watch five minutes of this live-action film and my wife and I were left with the feeling we’ve seen it before.
The movie focuses …
RedBox Kiosk to Rent Movies
I have lived in several states over the past few years and each place I lived had a RedBox kiosk somewhere close by. Usually the kiosk was located at Wal-Mart or Kroger.
I have only had two incidents with using RedBox, but was compensated for each infraction. Twice I …
The Man from Earth - 2007 - by Jerome Bixby
This is a truly a great film from start to finish. If you like fast action movies, this is not for you, it takes place in a two room studio and the drama comes from the sharp dialogue rather than the scenery.
The title does not provide …
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. …
SWAT movie
There are some movies that I could quote in entirety, line for line without any problems at all. One of these is the 2003 movie SWAT. This movie chronicles the rise of the a Los Angeles SWAT team made up of characters played by Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, …
Dead poet society movie
The movie Dead Poet Society was one of my favorite movie at all time. It’s also known to be other people’s favorite movie too. I think this one is a classic for me. I love it very much and don’t mind watching it over and over again. It’s starting …
Jackson Masters The Lovely Bones movie
I don’t think I’ve ever felt so uncomfortable and so gripped by a movie as I did in the first hour of Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones. Considering I pretty much knew what was going to happen, I’d say Mr. Jackson should get all the credit he deserves.
Truly a …
A Christmas Carol (1938)
As it turned out, I was only able to view one version of A Christmas Carol this year. Normally, I see several, but scheduling just didn’t work out, not to mention I didn’t notice this Charles Dickens’ classic being shown all that much. This A Christmas Carol …
Movie The Hangover
The Hangover was definitely a guy’s comedy. Telling the story of the morning after a friend’s bachelor party, where the 3 groomsmen wake up with no memory of the previous evening, a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in the closet, this movie definitely appeals to the …
Go movie
I didn’t hear about the movie “Go” until some time ago when I was still in high school. At first I thought it was just going to be a silly movie so I didn;t watch it at the time, but about a year and a half later I was …
Lucy (2014 film)
While the trailers made this movie look like a formulaic popcorn flick, I had heard generally good things about this movie. The truth is, it is something of a mixed bag.
As the trailers show, the movie follows a young woman (played by Scarlett Johansson) who becomes something superhuman …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 41
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 41 has Ed and Miles trying to stall Kimblee so Winry and the others can get away while May and Dr. Marcoh try to decipher Scar’s brother’s research notes on Alkahestry and Alchemy.
This episode was fantastic. It was one of the most intense episodes …
The Dark Knight
I absolutely enjoyed The Dark Knight. I went to the movie thinking that this was just going to be another action packed movie that was ripped from the pages of a comic book, but boy was I wrong. I like the character change they made for Alfred because he …
Shadows in the Sun movie
I am reviewing the movie, Shadows in the Sun, which was released in 2006. It stars Joshua Jackson as a man named Jeremy Taylor, a guy who works at a publishing company in London. He is pressured to travel to Tuscany to get renowned writer, Welson Parish, …
Star Trek Nemesis
I was home sick yesterday and found myself watching Star Trek Nemesis for the first time in several years.
I has been a long time since I last saw the movie so I had no memory of what it was about. And, compared to other Star Trek movies, I think …
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
This is probably one of my fewest most favorite films of all time! Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind is a fictional movie that basically gravitates around the idea about love. Played by the phenomenal Jim Carrey as Joel Barish and the versatile Kate Winslet as Clementine. The plot …
The Charles Dickens Collection (BBC Video)
I have bought this recently released boxed set of DVD’s on Amazon.com for $42, which I think is quite a bargain for 6 great movies. I am a huge Dickens fan, I’ve been hunting for different movie versions of his different stories for years, so this 2005 BBC release …
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead a movie
Before the Devil Knows you’re Dead (2007) is directed by Sidney Lumet and stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei and Ethan Hawke.
Now although I am not a particuarly violent or mean spirited person I have to say that I found this movie very interesting. For one the opening …
The Dark Knight
It has been about twenty-four hours since I sat down in the movie theater seat to see “The Dark Knight” and I still cannot stop thinking about it. Now, I must admit that “Batman Begins” was mediocre at best, but after hearing the wonderful reviews of the sequel, I …
After the Sunset (2004)

La La Land - (Romantic Musical Film) 2016
Tears in your eyes, laughter spewing out of you and songs you find humming at odd hours? You must have watched La La Land. I’m not a person who often enjoys musicals and yet La La Land surprised me. I was enthralled, drawn into the story and of course couldn’t …
Grumpy Old Men
I am reviewing the movie, Grumpy Old men starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. This movie is about what the title suggests: a couple of grumpy old men. These men are both friends and rivals, and their rivalry will have you laughing your eyes out. Max Goldman and …
Suicide Club horror movie
Suicide Club (or Circle, in practically everywhere besides the US) is a Japanese psychological horror movie that deals with subliminal messages, people’s outward appearances and personalities, and the idea of cults. It seems to have a popular, although small, fandom. I first watched it at a friend’s house, and …
Top Gun
For me “Top Gun” represents one of the very first movies that I watched at the cinema. For the main actor in this movie Tom Cruise, it represented his ticket to win over directors and a lot of women’s hearts! In other words, the beginning of a success story!
Although …
Grizzly Rage
Grizzly Rage Starring Tyler Hoechlin Graham Kosakoski and Kate Todd
I got Grizzly Rage out because my husband and I were hoping to see a good old fashioned scary film. I have seen other movies where bears have attacked people and the bears are so fast and powerful that they …
DIE HARD
DIE HARD is one of the greatest action movies of all time. I thought this movie was very funny and also very violent. The plot is simple but great. A bunch of terrorist have taken over a hotel and want to take all the money in the place. They also …
All Around the Town movie
Mary Higgens Clark’s All Around the Town is a suspense thriller about a murder of a college professor and the trail that leads to two sisters. There’s a secret to be unearthed, and that secret is a dastardly one.
The cast includes Nastassja Kinski, Michael Shanks, Andrea Roth, and …
Halloween H2O, movie
Jamie Lee Curtis reprises the role that brought her into the mainstream and solidified her as one of, if not the best of, the scream queens. But, unlike her first ventures out as the quiet and reserved Laurie, we see her in full force as a disturbed mother trying …

Plot
I watched this movie recently and fell in love with it. The story deals with a Andera who is a fresh graduate, and is looking for job in journalism but to get them she first goes for a job as a second personal assistant under the editor of a …
Ice Age 3
We got a chance to finally see the movie Ice Age 3 (we were going to see it in the theater, but my wife was too far along in her pregnancy at the time). It was worth the wait.
This third installment of the Ice Age movies wasn’t as good …
The Haunted Mansion (2003)
This mega flop of a movie starring the ever lovable funny man Eddie Murphy failed to deliver on the hype that was promised, and overall, the entire movie did not even manage to make back the money they spent as budget to turn over a reasonable profit, but hey, …
Wanted movie
I’m such a huge fan of Angelina Jolie that I’ve seen every film she has starred in. The latest of which is “Wanted”, the action-packed flick based on the comics by Mark Millar and JG Jones and directed by Timur Bekmambetov about Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) a man who …
Hachiko: A dog’s story
As I was searching what movie to download one day, the film “Hachiko: A dog’s story” caught my attention. I am always fond of watching movies in which animals are the main star of the film. This is about the loyalty of a dog named “Hachi” to his master, …

The Incredibles Movie
A great family movie for kids and parents to enjoy together is Disney’s The Incredibles. This unique story about a group of retired superheros is not only highly amusing for the older people in the household, but also for the younger ones! The characters, like so many …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 12
RomeoXJuliet Episode 12 begins with Romeo and Juliet in the abandoned church, reciting their wedding vows to each other and getting married. They try to settle down in a small village while Lord Montague has his soldiers search for Romeo.
His was a good episode, a little overly dramatic …
Movie Four Brothers
For such a long time I had been meaning to watch Four Brothers. I didn’t get around to actually watching it a few years after it came out. At the time when it first came out I kept hearing people say how much of a good move it …
The Dark Knight Movie
Thought provoking, stylistic, and entertaining all highlight the 2008 blocbuster The Dark Knight. This film not only provided the audience members with an action fest, it offered some heavy philosophical talking points long after the credits roled. How do you defeat an …
First Sunday movie
First Sunday is a comedy being billed as a —˜feel good movie’ with a moral. It stars Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan as two career criminals. When LeeJohn (played by Morgan) and Tyrell (Ice Cube) agree to transport stolen wheelchairs across the city, they get arrested and run …
The Debt, movie (2011)
Ever since her turn as the title role in 2006’s The Queen, she has allowed herself to take roles that women younger than her would kill for. Many times you hear actresses complain that they don’t get the roles they used to because of their age. If …
Incident on a Dark Street movie
I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d seen this movie, Incident on a Dark Street, back when it aired in 1973, but I don’t remember it. Still, it was a TV pilot that had all the makings of a show I probably would watch. It didn’t sell, however, …
Harold and Kumar go to whitecastle
This is not your typical comedy. It is a comedy with a purpose. I laughed so much until I cried. The plot consists of two best friends who get an overwhelming craving for whitecastle burgers. They refused to stop at nothing to get their fulfillment. After so many mishaps …
The Greatest Show on Earth movie
One of my favorite movies has always been The Greatest Show on Earth, starring Charlton Heston. In fact, I believe this is Heston’s first big starring role. He plays Brad, the owner of the circus that travels the country. He has to deal with everything that …
The Killer movie
The Killer is John Woo’s Hong Kong action movie from the late 80s that has cult reputation in some circuits. It is a most intense film with an extreme quick pace. A cop and a villain chase each other in a game of death, and the action sequences are …
American Honey (2016 Drama Road Film)
Filmmaking is a medium that should transcend people into experiences rare in reality. Magic is one way to describe this art. The images are meticulously planned that the frames almost look surreal and incalculably rich and Andrea Arnold knows this secret so she magisterially created a piece of cinema that …
