What’s Up, Doc?,a movie (comedy)
This 1972 comedy only gets funnier as it ages. Ryan O’Neal plays Dr. Howard Bannister, a musicologist who comes to San Francisco to attend the annual convention where he hopes to win a scholarship for his studies of the musical potential of the igneous rocks (yes, that’s right - …
Unfaithful
I like this movie although I saw it few years ago. I thought it is usual, but for anyone who haven’t seen it yet, I can recommend it.
Starring Richard Gere, who portrayed the role of Edward Sumner, a good husband and family man.
The unfaithful half is Connie …
Sweet Home Alabama movie
A darling little movie that my family loves to watch (yes, even my husband likes this chick flick) is Sweet Home Alabama. Reese Witherspoon is such a cute actress with such endearing talent, that she is perfect as Melanie. This may be a glorified case of you can take …
GroundHog Day
Aw, this is an older movie but I think that the whole family would enjoy it. It has Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. It’s about a guy who keeps waking up and living the same day over and over again. Talk about a drag ! But Bill Murray does …
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (hereafter “Fellowship”) is the first movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. In many ways, it is also the best of the three. Of course each has its own unique strengths. There is not a …

We Need to Talk about Kevin (movie)
I’ve been hearing about the movie “We Need to Talk about Kevin” for some months now, and despite watching the trailer and feeling like I had to watch it, I never actually got a chance to until very recently. The result of this was that I was very impressed …
Chocolate (movie)
Chocolate is a beautiful movie about a mother and daughter who move to a small town and turn the town upside down! They come in red hoods, much like Red Riding Hood. Evidently the wind started blowing and the preacher and town elders knew something important was about to …
Movie Independence Day (1996)
Independence Day is one of my all-time favorite films. Some of my favorite actors are in this movie, including Jeff Goldblum - who, as usual, plays a highly intelligent guy with answers to very important questions - and Will Smith who adds an incredible amount of action to the …
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)
I have to admit that I’ve had a secret love of Alvin and the Chipmunks since I was a kid. When the movie first came out last year, I was the only one of my friends and family members who could actually sing all the words to their songs …
Hacksaw Ridge (2016 Biographical War Drama Film)
I admit I did not have any desire to watch this film ever since it was announced Mel Gibson is seating at the director’s chair. Plus the idea of another war movie is exhausting to think about unless your name is Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk will be released this year and …
Sex and the City movie
I watched the movie of Sex and the city on one of the movie channels recently. It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I don’t generally like the show sex and the city but the movie was pretty good. It had a lot …
Dahmer
This film, based on the killings of infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dhamer is a complicated film to judge. On one hand, it documents his crimes accurately enough, and for a big screen or small screen adaption of anything of the sort, the facts can be lost in the fiction, …

The Brothers Bloom
I didn’t know what to expect when I rented The Brothers Bloom DVD; I had heard about this movie a bit, but not enough to get an idea what it would be like. I loved it, and in my opinion, it deserves a lot more hype than it got.
The …

“The Wedding Date” (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The Wedding Date” is in the genre of romantic comedy, and while it surely did deliver on the comedy level, I am not so sure the movie was something I could enjoy more than once. I found the plot to be sort of “Pretty Woman” backwards …
Religulous (Documentary)
Religulous is a documentary by Larry Charles which features Bill Maher which basically focuses on mocking religious belief, although I will stress now that it primarily only focuses on the Western religions, extremely little to no attention at all is given on the other Wisdom Traditions. I personally find …
The Mist (2008)

Side Effects (movie)
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. …
Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost
Last night, I once again sat down with my daughter to watch a movie with her. And, of course, I let her pick the film. She chose Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. And, for the most part, I liked her decision.
This is a newer Scooby Doo film, as …
Horsemen of the Apocalypse film
This film is confusing. No, let me re-phrase - that makes it sound like I am not particularly bright, and the plot got way ahead of me and induced a migraine. Not that I claim to be super intelligent either. But anyway.
This film is confused. It’s a mess of …
Grease

Basically …
Mistress of Spices
Mistress of Spices is a very boring and baseless movie I have seen in recent times. I watched it on HBO and I really didn’t like the movie from the very first reel. It is the story of Tilo played by Indian beauty Aishwarya Rai who has the power …
The Ugly Duckling & Me

Perry Mason: The Case of the Heartbroken Bride movie
For me, the bride in Perry Mason: The Case of the Heartbroken Bride was too pouty and snooty, even though we know she’s innocent because Perry is defending her. I just didn’t like her look. In fact, the entire opening bit at the wedding of Perry’s old …
Stormbreaker the Movie
Alright, I heard from my friend that this wasn’t really that good of a movie. I’ve read the book and was amazed by Horrowitz talents at writing, so I decided to watch the movie, and the first thing I thought was “Woah, my friend is a big …

The Angel of Pennsylvania Avenue
From 1996, The Angel of Pennsylvania Avenue was a nice little holiday film that portrays itself to be based on a story about Bernice Feagan. I was curious and did some research. It seems that Bernice didn’t even know this movie was made until it was done. …

I really feel like wanting to smack right out of this kid, Esther. The movie is not in a horror genre but more to gory. Orphan the movie, is unexpected and you will be surprised at the revelation. I’m not going to tell you what it is …
