Drop Dead Gorgeous movie
“Drop Dead Gorgeous” was what I thought was a very interesting and unique comedy film. It was unique in the sense that it was dark and it was filmed in a way and a style which I thought was different from any other comedy film I had ever seen …
Shrek
I don’t know if it was Toy Story or Shrek that ushered in the age of the animated feature. I know Toy Story came first, but it seems to me that Toy Story showed filmmakers what was possible in the new age of computer animation. The people behind Shrek …
X-Men Origins Wolverine
I was eagerly looking forward to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. After watching it, I have mixed feelings. Oh, it was exciting, and visually spectacular, and the characters were all really interesting. It was nice to see so many new mutants with so many new powers. I liked that …

The Parent Trap III movie
Since The Parent Trap II worked with viewers, Disney decided to try it again with The Parent Trap III. My argument up front is that to do so, they had to mess with Susan’s story. In PT II, she was happily married. Here, she’s single again. …
“All the King’s Men” The removie: (2006)
After I watched “All the King’s Men” and wrote my review I read some other reviews. For a minute I thought I had watched a totally different movie. Almost universally “All the King’s Men” was panned by the critics. The movie was not just panned but picked to pieces …

HBO miniseries Band of Brothers
This movie had me gripped from the first episode, “Currahee”, where the introduction of the characters of Easy Company takes place, during their basic recruitment training. I enjoy watching war movies and have to say, Band of Brothers, was more than I expected. I was browsing for movies one …
Movie - Why Did I Get Married, Too?
I saw Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?” a few years back and, although I don’t think it was a masterpiece, it was still an interesting look at husband-wife relationships.
When the sequel, “Why Did I Get Married, Too?” came out on dvd, I decided to watch it. To …
Zathura
Jon Favreau, the director of Elf, couldn’t have outdone himself; Elf was simply too adorable. That siad, Zathura, his most recent children’s story, was much better than I anticipated. The special effects were a little chessy, particularly the malfunctioning robot and the entrance of the stranded astronaut. The child …
Vantage Point movie
For my twenieth birthday, three friends of mine dragged me to the movie theater to see the new 2008 film Vantage Point. I had not heard of the film, but I was not interested. I’d have preferred simply to hang out at a friend’s house and play cards. Begrudgingly, …

Happy Feet movie
The animated feature film Happy Feet features an all-star cast of voice talent. Unfortunately this talent is wasted plot that meanders through a worthwhile environmental message but never really comes together. It really seems as if the studio decided that environmentalism was the current hot issue, pardon the pun, …
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Identity introduces the world to Jason Bourne, a former CIA operative who is suffering amnesia. It follows his fact paces, death defying journey to discover the truth about who he is. I love the first real action scence in the movie where he’s in the bank and …
Private Buckaroo movie
Private Buckaroo is a kick to watch for the most part. Of course, you have to be into the antics of the day, which in this case is circa 1942 when the film was released. For example, if you like the harmonies of The Andrews Sisters (that’s Patty, …

Bruce Almighty vs. Evan Almighty
I remember thinking that Bruce Almighty was going to be disappointing when I watched it, and I do think that it was a little disappointing in the end. It is not nearly as good as the movie after it. The movie I felt, was a little disrespectful to religion, …
The movie Toy Story 2
I was relatively young when the original Toy Story came out. However I was old enough to know that I loved it. Needless to say that when Toy Story 2 came out a few years later I was more than excited.
The movie did not let me down either. I …
My Bloody Valentine Movie
My Blood Valentine was a horror movie made during the 1980s when there was a rash of R rated horror movies coming out. The movie follows a group of young people in a small mining town. Years before a serial killer killed a bunch of people on Valentine’s Day …
It Runs in the Family (2003)
The movie is starring Kirk and Michael Douglas, as well as Cameron Douglas. This movie was more of a family reunion for the actors themselves, rather than entertainment or movie of great value. Despite all the publicity and the positive exposure, in my experience, it is one hard-to-watch …
An Alan Smithee Film-Burn Hollywood Burn
A very complex documentary about the fact that some Hollywood directors use the name Alan Smithee when their film is severly cut down by producers and they don’t consider the film theirs anymore.
The strange thing as that the director of this film, named Arthur Hiller, thought the film was …
America’s Sweethearts movie

The Bucket List
There are not many movies out there that give you something to intellectually pause over. The Bucket List is an exception to that general rule. Typically when we go to the movies, we are lookig for something happy and uplifting to take us away from the real …
Anne of a Thousand days
This weekened we saw the movie the Other Boleyn Sister, which reminded me of the movie that I had seen with richard Burton many years ago when I was a senior in high school. I went to my son’s library and found the movie Anne of a Thousand days. …
The Longest Yard (2005): movie
I had not seen the original The Longest Yard, but heard it was a very popular movie. The main reason I went to see the remake which was made in 2005 is that I like Adam Sandler. Sometimes his movies are a little too silly, but I …

I recently watched a sequal to the home alone franchise.The first two home alone movies starred Macauly Culkin.After that,the rest of the home alone movies didnt star macauly and deteriorated in quality.Hoem Alone 4 is the worst of the them.The acting in it is pertty bad.The lead child is …
Seventh Son movie (2015)
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.
I thought the movie had potential if only it was handled better. The SFX was good enough not …
You Don’t Mess with the Zohan Movie
This is the most stupidest Adam Sandler’s movie I have ever seen in my whole life and the most stupid movie I’ve seen so far this year. I was quite disappointed after watching the movie with my husband who is a big Adam Sandler fan. Good thing we did …
Traffickers, Movie
Korean thrillers rarely pull their punches, which can often make them deeply affecting - especially when they centre around some really dark subjects. Unlike popular Chinese and Japanese cinema exports there is typically much more favour for realism in Korean films, that only makes them more shocking.
Traffickers is concerned …
Sex and the City The Movie
Sex in the City, The Movie was fabulous. I missed the HBO series because I don’t get HBO. Over two weeks, I rented all five years from Blockbuster.com and couldn’t watch them fast enough. Is it over the top sometimes? Yes. Is there any reality? …
Mr Magoo’s Christmas Carol
With Quincy Magoo, you either love him, or you hate him. I happen to love the old guy, voiced by Jim Backus, and his version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol stands to me as one of my all-time favorite holiday classics.
Set within a Broadway stage presentation, complete with …
Disney’s The Great Mouse Detective
I really enjoyed Disney’s The Great Mouse Detective. This was a really cool movie. And sine I love Mice to much, it was no wonder I was going to like this movie so much. The movie is kind of like Sherlock Homles but in cartoon forum. And Instead of humans …
I am Legend
I watched this movie a few hours ago.The story is apocalyptic.It all starts three years back of the actual events,in a TV interview with a doctor,who apparently cured cancer by mutating the measles virus.When the interview is over,the ‘present’ starts.New York,desolate,with overgrown fauna,lions and dears jumping around..
Almost all planet …

AVATAR: The Movie (by James Cameron)
I’ve just watched it last night and up until I wrote this review I still can’t remove all of those stunning scenes from my mind and my brain. The movie was beyond my imagination; Cameron has succeeded to combine both the reality and fantasy world, he had created “another” …
The Town (2010 thriller movie)
I always somehow managed to skip over the 2010 movie “The Town” because I heard a few bad reviews about it. I just figured that it was going to be a really bad movie, and to make things worse, I’m not much of a fan of the actor Ben Affleck. …

Black Christmas, movie (1974)
Slasher movies based on holidays are so commonplace that they have become cliched. Thankskilling, April Fool’s Day, Halloween, Leprechaun, Uncle Sam, and My Bloody Valentine are some of the big examples. All we need are movies for Yom Kippur and Colombus Day. Heck, some can make …

A parody on films like The Exorcist, this film tells the story of a 17 year old woman who is possessed by the devil. When she finally is free of the possession by exorcism, she is later possessed another time, and now they send it live on television!

Furious 7 (action adventure movie)
It took me a long time to watch the movie Furious 7 because I figured that it would be too depressing to watch. This was especially after hearing stories about how scores of people cried in the theatre in the end.
After seeing it myself though I realised I was …
Hunger Games - Catching Fire, movie
I am an avid reader and I love to go to movies of books that I have read. I have a really bad habit of saying “they got it wrong” throughout the entire movie. My husband is not a reader and goes to these movies with a different point …
2001 Space Idiocies
2001 Space Idiocies is the 4th episode of the 1st season of Tripping the Rift and is to me the highlight of the show’s first season. As the title gives away there is a lot of riffing off of the movie 2001: A Space Oddyssey.
This episode succeeds in …
Fever Pitch (2005)
This movie centers around two people, one of them has followed family tradition and is an advent Red Sox fan, to the point where he has purchased season tickets to see every single game that they have scheduled to play inclusive of practice days. The other, a female who …
Ghost Rider (2007)
