Movie: “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”
I recently saw the classic movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” for the first time. I can now understand why it’s a classic. The deeply disturbing story with its tragic, haunting twist ending has lingered in my mind days after watching it.
My husband picked the movie out for …

The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988)
“The Unbearable Lightness of Being” tells the story of three people, Tereza (Juliette Binoche), her husband Tomas, and his mistress Sabrina. The story is largely existential featuring people who seem to lack any substantive values so they seek meaning to life by doing things, no matter what the acts …
Cocktail
“Cocktail” helped the actor Tom Cruise to become more famous in Hollywood; however I don’t believe that this is his best film from his initial stages. If I had to chose between “Cocktail”, “Top Gun” and “Risky Business”, I prefer to watch “Top Gun” and putting “Cocktail” the least movie …
Zoom
When the movie Zoom came out, it had two strikes against it in my opinion. First, it was about a bunch of kids with super powers; something that has been done way too many times in my opinion. Secondly, it starred Tim Allen. I like his stand up comedy. …
The Girl Gets Moe
At first I didn’t think the movie “The Girl Gets Moe” was very popular since I did a search for it online to see what people were saying in their reviews about it, and I only found a few results, but then I realised that it also goes by …
Faster with Dwyane Johnson( The Rock) movie
This movie is definitely a must see. It starts out with showing Dwyane Johnson in prisoner and you begin to wonder why is he in prisoner, but as you watch it you realize that there is more to this than meets the eye. Basically, what it’s about is …
Movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is about a bell ringer named Quasimodo, gentle and lonely of Notre Dame. Born to a gypsy, and horribly defected at birth, Quasimodo fell into the hands of the man who killed his mother. As he grew, he was confined to the bell tower, …
Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief Movie (2010)
This seemed like a real cool movie when we saw the trailer at the theatre but it didn’t seem like my cup of tea because it’s more suitable for teenagers, but since I have lots of free movie passes, I decided to watch and try this movie.
The movie is …
Brothers (2009) movie
Brothers was an interesting film to say the least the three lead roles really made this movie for me, but overall I enjoyed it and it somewhat relates to real life.
The plot of the movie is pretty straight forward but there are lots of subtle entities that you …
The Hangover II Movie (2011)
I just saw the movie the Hangover 2. It is the sequel to the first movie, The Hangover, which stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms. Essentially this movie is about a Bachelor’s party in Thailand gone wrong. As with the last Hangover movie, this time, the …
Gidget Grows Up
There was a bit of hiatus between the original three Gidget movies and TV series of the early and mid-60’s to this made-for-TV movie of 1969, but it was worth the wait. Gidget Grows Up is in reality my third favorite of the entire Gidget franchise. It’s …
A Christmas Carol 1999 movie
A Christmas Carol, 1999, starring Patrick Stewart, has left me disappointed. I love the story, and I thought Stewart could make a good Scrooge, but his performance had not touched me at all. The movie followed the book closely enough. Scrooge, a lonely, hard-hearted businessman, hates Christmas because he …

Grease
I have seen the movie Grease probably about 50 times since I was a kid. And, even though I have seen it that many times, I can’t help but take the time to watch at least part of it whenever I come across it on television.
I’m not sure what …
Ghostbusters (2016 Comedy Movie)
Despite all the harshness and negativity surrounding the 2016 Ghostbusters remake, I was probably one of the few persons who actually couldn’t wait to see what it would be like. I was in a terrible mood when I ended up watching it fairly recently too, but you now what? When …
Tinker Bell Movie

Paul Walker movie
I recently rented the movie Running Scared with Paul Walker from Blockbuster. I completely recommend this movie for almost everybody! The only people who might not like it are those who don’t like a little violence. IT is a great ‘mobster’ type of movie revolving around Paul …

Meet the Spartans DVD
I recently borrowed the DVD of the movie “Meet the Spartans” from a friend and watched it with my family. I must say this has to be the second movie after “You Don’t Mess with Zohan” which I would consider as a crappy movie.
The movie was first released …

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, both the movies and the books. I was disappointed when the film showing was moved to this year but was still excited for the 6th installment of the novel by JK Rowling.
Half Blood Prince revolves around the emergence in power of …
Suspiria
I think Suspiria is probably one of the scariest. If not the scariest movie ever made. This movie is old from the year 1977. But I still enjoy it. In fact I think older movies like Suspiria are the best kind of movies. I just loved the spooky music …

Firehouse movie
This review is for a movie called Firehouse, which is not to be confused with Richard Dean Anderson’s Firehouse movie of 25 years later. However, whereas in 1997 it was women having to deal with being accepted, in this 1973 version, it’s African Americans struggling to break in …

The 2nd Batman movie, The Dark Knight, is a great movie. In this movie, Batman/Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) tries to stop the corruption in Gotham. He has help from his on/off again love interest Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and his good older friend Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), who basically …
BoogeyMan movie
BoogeyMan is an OK movie. I think the reason so many people watched it and liked it was because we all used to believe in the BoogeyMan at one time in our life. This is what made me think this movie was going to be scary. The preview also made …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Film (2009)
I grew up reading Harry Potter books in my formative years back in the 90’s. The time when the whole Harry Potter franchise was less frenzied and the books were just lurking somewhere to be discovered. My devotion to the books reached a fanatical stage that I …
