Hope Floats
I admit that I generally enjoy watching Sandra Bullock’s movie; however “Hope Floats” failed to impress me. I feel that there is something missing script wise which failed to make a good movie. I also believe that “Hope Floats” was another Bullock attempt to make a romantic movie tackling a …

Amelie Movie
When i first sat down to watch Amelie I was skeptical. I did a study abroad in FRance so I understand French, but watching a two hour movie in French could get tiresome. I really enjoyed this film. The story is about a girl, Amelie and her quest to …
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. …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 20
RomeoXJuliet Episode 20 begins with Juliet being revealed as the Red Whirlwind and Lord Montague ruthlessly counters her resistance by taking over the council. Meanwhile, the origins behind Juliet’s mysterious fainting spells are revealed.

Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)
The comedic master mind that is Mel Brooks takes center stage as he pokes fun yet again at another movie. This time he takes on Dracula and tosses and turns this once serious and feared character into that of an onscreen laughing stock. Mel is one of the only …
Thirteen Ghosts (movie)
I don’t know about you all but I enjoy the series called Mr Monk on cable. Before Mr Monk came on the TV, the star of the show was in a movie called Thirteen Ghosts.
Although this movie would never win an academy award, it was interesting …
Movie White Chicks
The movie White Chicks is a very funny one. I love this movie and would see it all over again. It’s very funny. The stars are the Wayne’s brothers. They were the white chicks. They got transplant and look like white chicks. The funny part is that they don’t …
The Lost Boys movie
A horror film by Joel Schumacher about a company of young vampires on motorcycles who attack a young man and his brother. It has reached cult reputation by some people who grew up in the 1980s when it came it, but personally I just found it a very long …
Cape Fear
I think Robert De Niro did a great job in the movie Cape Fear. I really like Cape Fear because it’s a different type of horror. This movie is not about ghosts or monsters, but it is instead about a prison inmate named Max that wants revenge. He was sent …
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Movie
At the time of its release, it was an amazing film with wonderful acrobatics, animation and storyline…the characters were well casted also. Imaginative choreography with hand to hand combat and weapons fighting. It was the talk of the town then and it’s a great film to watch even now. …
The Missing movie
The Missing is a movie about a family reconnecting and saving one member of the family from prostitution. The actors in this movie are Tommy Lee Jones, Cate Blanchett, and Evan Rachael Wood. One of the best things about this movie is that it has great characters/actors. Another thing …
The Reaping Movie
Hilary Swank is one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, so it wasn’t a surprise that I would the movie. It’s really dark and scary, especially since I watched it alone and right before I was going to bed. I think the reason why it wasn’t a hit in the …
He’s Just Not That Into You
My husband and I saw this movie last weekend. We went to a Sunday matinee and the theatre was PACKED! The theatre was full of mostly girls, but my husband didn’t mind too much. This is definitely a chick flick.
The cast was great. I especially loved Ginnifer Goodwin and …
All That Jazz movie
All That Jazz is the story of the great choreographer, Bob Fosse. There is absolutely no doubt about just how talented Fosse was, but his personal life was full of trauma and personal problems. That’s how it often is for really great talents. Like Fosse, though, …
Dark Skies (movie)
One of the movies that I watched this summer was the movie “Dark Skies”. It’s not to be confused with the television series of the same name that was popular in the late nineteen nineties, even though it has a bit of a similar motif. When I watched the …
Pebble & the Penguin
I am reviewing the animated film, Pebble & the Penguin. This animated film came out in the nineties. It revolves around a ritual known as the Full Moon Mating Ceremony. This requires male birds to present pebbles to females, much like humans. The film focuses around a shy …
K-19: The Widowmaker movie
K-19: The Widowmaker was released in 2002, and I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not. Honestly, I’m still not totally sure. It took me three or four views to really get into and grasp the entire scope of the story. That surprised me because …
Robocop 2014 Movie, Director Jose Padilha
I am really happy that the new film from the series “Robocop” which reboots the series from the beginning, is an exception to the rule that I have found that reboots usually don’t work out as well as their original movies. This fantastic action created by the director Jose …
Jack and the Beanstalk movie
I had been a while since I’ve watched the Abbott and Costello movie “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Since I wanted to introduce my daughter to it, I figured I would watch it with her last night.
It was even better than I thought it would be.
Even when compared to movies …
Movie Raise your Voice
“Raise your Voice” is a Hillary Duff movie. I just cannot understand why she has been nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie, because I believe it is one of her best movies together with “The Perfect Man”.
I found a certain similarity between “Raise your …
Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna movie
This made-for-TV movie tells the story of Anna Anderson, a woman who claimed to be Anastasia, the daughter of the last Russian czar Nicholas II. Whether you believe that Anna Anderson actually was the Grand Duchess Anastasia or not (the movie is built on the premise that she was), …

Snakes on a Plane (2006)
Snakes on a Plane… The title pretty much sums it up: that’s what the movie is about, snakes on a plane biting and killing people. There is no point, no deeper meaning, just that. Of course, there is some basic plot, explaining how hundreds of snakes got on an …
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
One of the most classic motion picture musicals is Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, a 1953 release that stars the unforgettable Marilyn Monroe. The blonde was the sensation of her day, and this movie is the equivalent to her theme song. Of course, it contains the song that is …
Rush - Movie
After the extraordinary success of “Rocky” sports movies almost invariably follow the stereotypical formula, with slight variations, determined by the taste of the author. In “Rush” opportunities for freely creative imagination are relatively limited as it recreates real events related to real people .
The 70s. The phones have …
Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?

Final Cut (PG-13, 2004) movie
Robin Williams has been starring in some really interesting films lately. First there was “One Hour Photo” in which he played a lonely psychopathic photo developer. That movie was jarring because you never think that a person who serves others in the community on a regular …
“White Countess” starring Natasha Richardson
I really enjoyed the 2005 movie “White Countess.” The movie stars Natasha Richardson as Countess Sofia Belinskya and Russian Countess expatriated to Shanghai after the 1917 Russian Revolution. To support herself and her extended family Sofia works as a dance hall girl and sometimes prostitute. Despite her efforts her …
Avatar, epic science fiction action film
James Cameron is one of the few directors that know how to make a movie that explains everything. The man’s films will never have you questioning what happened or what so and so are doing at a certain point. James Cameron is one of the best directors out there …
The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
This movie has been around for a few nears now but I only just watched it recently and all I knew about the Mothman was from Youtube videos which seemed really unbelievable and usually look fake. Before I watched the movie I read a bit on the real …
The Love Guru movie
I enjoy a Mike Meyers movie now and then. He has not made a movie I really liked since Austin Powers but my Neflix list was empty and I decided to give this movie a try. It was about like any Mike Meyers or Jim Carrey movie. …

Rosemary’s Baby
Rosemary’s Baby is a very good scary movie. It’s an older movie that was made in 1969 but it is still a very good movie. In fact I think it is a lot scarier than a lot of the newer movies out these days. I think that this film really …
Waterboy
When the movie Waterboy first came out, it was one of my favorite movies. But, after watching it quite a few times, both on DVD and on TV, I’m coming to realize it really isn’t that great of a film after all.
Adam Sandler is funny in it and I …

I’ll be coming as a viewer who hasn’t read the book series by Joseph Delaney but after having seen the movie, I’ll be buying a copy of book 1 of the series.
