Blessed movie
I just got finished watching the movie “blessed” on lifetime movie network. It was an alright movie. Overall I didn’t really care for it that much. I would have rather watched something else. The end was pretty good though. The whole movie was alright, the end was the best …
Friends sitcom
I’m not quite sure just how many seasons this show was on but surely too many. For me it’s really boring to follow what is happening to the same group of six people for so many years. One thing is for sure, initially, it was quite a good show …
War thriller
“War” is an action thriller where you see Jason Statham and Jack Lee act side by side. It is very interesting to see these two action actors involved in the same project. Both Statham and Lee admitted that they accepted their respective roles because they had a chance of …

Carnival Story movie
The world in the 50’s and 60’s loved stories about carnivals and circuses, and that’s why we have this film, Carnival Story, from 1954. In fact, I understand a German version was made at the same time and that the stars of both movies are seen but uncredited …

Movie Mad Money
“Mad Money” is simply a great movie with mixture of comic and dramatic moments. The main actors in this movie are Diane Keaton, Ted Danson, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes and all of them do their part well, however Keaton gives that extra bit more and it shows.
“Mad Money” …
Zorro, The Gay Blade
Stories or movies from Old California are dear to my heart, being raised in Southern California through my childhood. I think that if a double-feature were in order, this movie should be coupled with The Three Amigos. The comedy is similar.
The comedic strength in this movie stems from brilliant …
Movie Mirrors
For me it’s difficult to watch Kiefer Sutherland and not think Jack Bauer (his character from 24 on the FOX network). However, even with that distraction I still ended up enjoying Mirrors, even though I’m usually highly critical about this type of movie.
Mirrors is the story of an …
The Naval Treaty

A Thousand Words (movie)

Deep Impact is a powerful movie from 1998 about a meteor that is threatening Earth. It’s intense, emotional, and thrilling. Directed by Mimi Leder, the FX is still a bit rough in the visuals, but the acting is top notch. Tea Leoni, Vanessa Redgrave, Elijah Wood, …
Gigli
Gigli is a good movie to watch for a weekend afternoon. The film starring Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck in the lead roles has all the elements needed for a good movie. It has action, it has romance, it has humour and above all it has some fine emotional …
Movie Underworld
I like to watch the movie “Underworld” in which the Lycans(werewolves) and Vampires are at war.
In this movie Celine played very well by Kate Beckinsale is trying to find out why the Lycans and Vampires are trying to kill a human played by Scott Speedman.
As …

I had Whiplash on my list of movies to watch from earlier on this year, but never actually took the time out to give it a chance. Recently though when it was airing on one of my cable television channels I decided to give it a try. I liked it. …
Everyone Says I Love You - (starring Drew Barrymore)
I didn’t know that this musical, Everyone Says I Love You was directed by Woody Allen until my friend highlighted it to me. I am not that big a fan for musicals, but at the same time, I don’t prevent from watching it altogether. I think that musical …

The Time Travelers Wife movie
I found this movie to be too odd to be very good. The thought behind the whole movie was very unique but because of so many weird things it just made the movie not as good as it could have been.
The first thing I didn’t like was that …

Push (2009 Film)
The 2009 film starring Dakota Fanning, Camilla Belle and Chris Evans called, “Push” is a film I thought I would really not enjoy. It seemed like so many other action movies out there, where the characters dodge bullets in slow motion and everyone looks like the world on the …

The Heartbreak Kid
I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …
Flight 93
I was promted to buy this movie after writing a memorial poem for those that were on the plane that crashed on 9-11. The movie was so close to the actual event that I found myself wishing that the outcome was different than what we all know. …
Mike Epps: Inappropriate Behavior (R, 2005) DVD

Tom and Jerry Cartoons
I remember watching these two cartoon characters chase each other when I was a kid and now, years later, I find myself watching them again. Actually, I’m not the one watching it. My boy who is only 4 years old watches it all the time and there’s nothing any …
Wedding Daze - (starring Jason Biggs)
I certainly think that Jason Biggs is such a cutie and Isla Fisher in this movie story, Wedding Daze are such a cute couple. I can’t possibly imagine anyone that would marry in such a hurry and that is really something that no one in their right mind would …
Disney’s Cars 2 Movie
I recently took my almost 2 year old son to see Cars 2. He is a huge Cars fan, so of course he was very excited to know he would be seeing McQueen and Mater. Unfortunately though, I believe Cars 2 is more geared towards an older audience and …
