The Fisher King
I saw “The Fisher King” recently and found it was great entertainment. I’ve always been a sucker for Robin Williams craziness and this is one of the craziest. Add to that Terry Gilliam as director and one would expect a completely wacky movie good for many laughs, but not …
Beowulf, Robert Zemeckis Movie
In a night a monster called Grendel awakened feel very disturbed with the sound of the deafening noise ears. Because the resistance is not the monster that the sound source bother him. And sound comes from a party Mead (similar drink beer) in a hall in the small kingdom …
Batman Begins Movie
The previous four films about Batman seemed to have presented everything that the comics that they were based upon and filmed had to offer. First the unsurpassed art-favorite Tim Burton carried the great adventures of the superhero in “Batman” (1989) and “Batman Returns” (1992), followed by Joel Schumacher who …
Bad and Beautiful (1952)
“The Bad and the Beautiful” is an MGM movie filmed in black and white, lasting 118 minutes. It is a taut, well-crafted movie that left me alternately liking, despising, and admiring Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas). These emotions seemed to be those of the main characters as well.
“The Bad …
Titanic 1997 movie
Titanic is one of the most educational yet romantic and sad films I have ever seen. The film is told by an old lady who was on the titanic when it sank. It is told as a story of what happened to her from the moment she entered the …
No Reservations
I love it when Catherine Zeta-Jones acts. She is gracing maturely and is truly beautiful no matter what her age is.
In this movie story, she acted alongside Aaron Eckhart and this is a very beautiful story that I suppose would be very popular with loads of chefs …
Independence day
Well, what an intriguing mystery on how the aliens (if there are) may look like was given a hypothetical description in this movie. Yes, it is possible that our technology here on earth may be a little rusty but perhaps those aliens could have done something about their …
Gone in Sixty Seconds, movie (1974)
Car chase sequences are an easy way to mix action and drama. To pull them off is difficult and require a team of professionals that can make the impossible possible. Bullitt, The French Connection, and The Italian Job showcased some of the most well-known car chases in …
Loser movie
A boy named Paul is what most people would call a “hill-Billy”, a goofy figure from the country who doesn’t really fit in with the city slickers. He’s attending college, but most of the time his room mates just make fun of him. Pretty much everything in Paul’s life …
Foamy the Squirrel
The premise of the Foamy cartoons may sound bizarre. A ranting cartoon squirrel that lives with a feminist goth chick? I must be kidding, I can’t possibly find this entertaining. But I do, the Foamy cartoons are the funniest cartoons on the internet, in my opinion anyway.
Sure, some cartoons …
Valentine’s Day (2010) movie
Valentine’s day was pretty much set up to do great, from its very release. The cast they had was just ridiculous in size and talent. It ranges from Julia Roberts to Taylor Swift in the most experienced actors to ones with very little experience.
The story itself is very …
As Good as it Gets Movie
I loved the characters played by Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt and Greg Kinnear who star in this entertaining movie.
Nicholson plays writer Melvin Udall who suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder who cannot have his routine disturbed. When his favorite waitress Carol (Hunt) quits her job so that she can …
Sex And Breakfast
Sex And Breakfast is a comedy film that was released in 2007. Or should I say that Sex And Breakfast is supposed to be a comedy? There were some funny moments in the film, but mostly when awkward things happened, but I would not call this movie a true …

Nim’s Island
I recently rented this movie for my little sister and I to watch. It was surprisingly pretty good. Nim is this little girl that lives on an island with her dad and no one else knows about the island. Jodie foster plays in the movie (I forget her name …
Mr Brooks DVD
I have stated before that we love to watch movies. One of my favorite actors is Kevin Costner. I usually tend to watch movies that contain actors or actresses that appeal to me. So when Rob and I saw this advertisement for Kevin Costner, starring in a …
Artemisia Movie
“Artemisia” is the 1997 Miramax biopic of Artemisia Gentileschi, a seventeenth century Italian woman painter when women were not and were not allowed to be artists.

Cheaper by the dozen 1 Movie
Cheaper By The Dozen 1 (the first movie) is a great story. It’s about a family called the Bakers who have twelve children. Tom Baker played by Steve Martin is classic in his part. He stays true to the comical type of actor that he is. Tom’s wife played …
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li
I knew going in that this movie was going to be bad, but really, this movie is terrible.
The story is wafer thin, it follows Chun-Li (who’s played by Kristin Kreuk even though the younger version of her is played by an Asian girl) as she tries to find her …
Movie 1408 by John Cusack
1408 is a horror film by John Cusack and Samuel Jackson. Well most of the movie of course shows John Cusack as Mike Enslin’s struggle inside a hotel room, supposedly haunted the room 1408. Mike Enslin here is a paranormal “writer”, with his profession; he stays at …
Shawshank Redemention
We own a DVD of the movie based on Stepehn Kings short story called the The Shawshank Redemption. The Shawshank Redemption takes place in the 1940’s, with Andrew Dufrense played by Tim Robbins having been wrongly accused of murdering his wife and her lover. He was sent to Shawshank …
Dead Poets Society (1989 Film)
The 1989 film, Dead Poets Society, was an emotional, rejuvenating yet sorrowfully disturbing tale that left me both impressed, yet extremely sad for the main characters. If you are a fan of an elaborate tale about being inspired to enjoy literature as well as life by “Seizing the day” …
I Love You Man movie

“Howl’s Moving Casle” (2004 Film)
Recently I watched a Japanese animation cartoon director by Hayao Miyazaki called “Howl’s Moving Castle”. My younger brother is into these sorts of films and I have to admit that they are very intriguing and entertaining to watch as well, and Hayao Miyazaki is also an excellent director who …
Ever After movie
I am surprised that this movie is not better known. I’ve never heard of it, until I happened to see the videotape at our public library and decided to check it out. “A Cinderella Story,” the subtitle said. Well, I thought, that can be a good and a bad …
Flakes movie
I absolutely hated this movie. For one, I had never even heard of it until a friend brought the DVD over to my room. It had her favorite actress in it, so we thought we would watch it.
Well, I realize that she found this DVD in the …

Just My Luck
I love watching Just My Luck pretty much and Lindsay Lohan plays the role of Ashley and she is a very much lucky person as it is. Everywhere she goes, people like her, she gets the most amazing gifts of all and friends that are supportive and everything. …
All About Steve film
I like the fact that Sandra Bullock in many of her films, usually plays a feisty but vulnerable sort of character, a real fighter, someone we can all relate to. “All About Steve” continues in this time honored tradition, rather like, “Miss Congeniality”. I was pleasantly surprised to find …

Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army)
I love watching Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army) very much. And I think the character Hellboy or Ape, I think what he’s called is very adorable. This sequel is as best as the first one and in this part 2, there’s this Prince that has been resurrected and …
Amadeus - The Director’s Cut
One of the most brilliantly executed films that I have ever seen has to be the movie Amadeus, starring F. Murry Abraham and Tom Hulce. I was only a child when it first came out, but even then, I was fascinated by the antics of a child-like Mozart who dazzled …

Howl’s Moving Castle
“Howl’s Moving Castle” did not take a step forward for Studio Ghibli. The Japanese animation studio is renowned for excellent story
telling, and stunning animation, but this latest film is not quite an advancement. Past films like “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Ponpoko,” “Kiki’s
Delvery service” and “Spirited Away,” each brought more creative …

Catwoman
“Catwoman”, released in 2004, was supposed to be a blockbuster, due to the fact that it was based on a comic book superhero and because it starred Halle Berry. It’s fortunate for her that her career was strong enough to survive this movie, because it was way beneath …
The Secret - The Movie
I stumbled upon this website “by chance” and found a wonderful, life-changing (yes, at least for me) movie available either as a download ($4.95) or as a DVD ($29.95) that can be ordered. After viewing the impressive trailer, I ordered the DVD and anxiously waited for “the secret” to …
Movie Good Shepherd (2007)
Don’t go to the new spy drama “The Good Shepherd” expecting to see Matt Damon pull secret agent type as he does in his “Bourne” thrillers.
This Robert De Niro directed film, co starring Angelina Jolie, Billy Crudup, William Hurt, and De Niro himself, concerns weightier matters. Namely, the early …
Cannibal, DVD Horror film
How am I supposed to review a movie where a man cuts off another man’s penis, fries it up in a cooking pan, and then serves it to the no-penis man and himself? How can I review a movie like this when the whole movie leading up to this …
