Mimic Movie
Mimic is a truly great/bad sci-fi movie. I still remember seeing it for the first time when it was in the theaters and I loved it even then. I know a lot of people have seen the movie and hated because it’s not the greatest, but I actually do …

Enchanted
I have heard mixed reviews about Enchanted around the web, so I decided to add my two cents. I thought this was a beautiful movie. It includes all the romanticism a Disney “princess” movie should, while adding the real life element to set it apart, and including references to …

Mr. Bean’s Holiday
This past weekend, we rented three movies. We were disappointed by 2. We absolutely loved the third one; Mr. Bean’s Holiday.
I’m actually a bit saddened by the fact this is going to be the last Mr. Bean movie. I say this because I have never laughed so hard at …
The Fox and the Hound 2 DVD
The Fox and the Hound 2 is one of my favorite movies. It’s a super story, with great music, and my favorite, Patrick Swayze, voicing one of the main characters. I fell in love with the animated film when I saw it, and I’m so glad that …
Strange Days movie
This science fiction film by the female director Kathryn Bigelow was hailed as one of the best films of its genre in a long time, but personally I really can’t see where the quality is. It’s the most unbelievable and unlogical story (even as a science fiction) about characters …
Me, Myself, and Irene
Me, Myself, and Irene is a hilarious movie starring Jim Carey and Renee Zellweger. Jim Carrey plays a guy who has a split personality. It’s a movie about two people (Carey and Zellweger) who fall in love, run from corrupted cops and Zellweger’s ex-boyfriend all while fighting …

Transformers Animated Series - Jazz Action Figure
Jazz is definitely one of the best action figures in the Transformers Animated Series toy line! He is equally awesome in robot mode and car mode, and he retains enough of his look from the original series that you recognize him as Jazz. However, his figure is …

Don Juan De Marco movie
I had thought I had seen all of Johnny Depp’s movies until I came across this one in Netflix. And, I was glad I found it.
This has to be one of Depp’s best roles (even though he didn’t get top billing for the movie; Marlon Brando did). He plays …
House of Usher movie 2008
I rented this movie as a fan of the horror genre and also an interest in Edgar Allen Poe. It turned out that I did not read the description as carefully as perhaps I should have, but what took place was entertaining none the less. This movie …
Half Nelson A Movie
A few nights ago my husband and I settled in to watch Half Nelson. I had never seen it or heard of it before so I figured that it was probably not that good of a movie. However my husband really wanted to watch it so I decided to …
Fantasia/2000 movie
The IMAX movie Fantasia/2000 was a blast with my little cousins. I brought both of my 2 darling cousins to watch this IMAX movie, and since both of them are 4 and 3 years respectively, they giggled throughout the movie, and really enjoyed it so much.
My most favorite …

Frankie and Alice (2014 Film)
I remember hearing about the film Frankie and Alice back when it was first released in 2010, but never taken the time to watch it until the recent release in 2014.

Movie Inkheart
I love fantasy movies and try to watch as many of them as I can, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way. The thing I did not like was that they had guns in this movie. In fact they had a lot of guns. And it is …
Stolen Life (2005)
If you think there is always a second chance in life, you may reconsider your optimism after watching this movie. I definitely did. Second chance seems to be a privilege granted not to every society, and losing the right to it before even turning eighteen seems to be unjustified …

Funny Games movie
A highly provocative film by the german controversial filmmaker Michael Haneke.

In Funny Games we see two …

Tom Brown’s School Days movie
I had never heard of 1940’s Tom Brown’s School Days before watching it this afternoon. It was an intriguing view on honesty, integrity, and strictness at an English school called Rugby.

The Gospel of John
The Gospel of John is my favourite of all four gospels because, rather than focussing on historical facts like the other three, it goes deeper into Jesus’s teachings and philosophy. From the very beginning, it tries to explain the world through what later is was going to become the …
