Just one word can describe this movie, and that is “awesome”. I saw this movie recently, and I really loved the story of this movie. It is all about true friendship between two completely different boys. One boy is suffering from a bad disease, and he has very little …

The movie is based on a Pulitzer prize stage play about a daughter of a mentally challenged yet brilliant mathematician. Yet despite the mathematics the real issue of the story is the things that are intangible, the faith despite the …
Wanted : Angelina Jolie
The movie wanted is fantastic. It’s got a very nice idea of having assassins with supernatural abilities to be able to focus and see from a different perspective. The story is fast paced and unfolds rapidly before your eyes. It will lead you to believe something but then another …

This movie is based on a romance novel by Janette Oke. The story takes place in the 1800’s. A young couple, Marty and Aaron Claridge, are traveling West, hoping to find some good land. They come across a beautiful valley and decide to settle there. Before they can even …

One of my all time favorite movies is “Hope Floats”. It is a true romance. Birdee Pruit, played by Sandra Bullock, finds out on National Television that her husband, Bill, cheated on her with her best friend. So Birdee packs up and moves from Chicago …
Ninotchka
I am a major fan of classic movies and I actually have a big VHS and DVD movie collection. Among those I cherish most is “Ninotchka”, the first motion picture where Greta Garbo laughed. It may not sound extraordinary, but it was, because Garbo was largely known …
Inside Out (R, 2005) movie
I am not a huge fan of Eriq LaSalle’s. But when I saw that he took a directorial turn in “Crazy as Hell”, I realized that he had some sort of depth. I mention this film because in it Eriq also stars as a crazy, and mysterious …
Dinosaur Movie
I recently watched again the movie Dinosaur from Disney Channel, and as usual I am amazed by it. It is about a dinosaur named Aladar, his family of monkeys and other dinosaur friends. Meteors fell from the sky and destroyed their home, leaving them looking for a new nesting …
Oliver & Company (Disney Movie)
Oliver & Company was a pretty good movie. I really think the animated dogs in this movie looked really cool. Oliver was a very cool and funny character. I really liked the storyline and the all of the characters in the movie. Though the actors did a great job on …
Pickford Theatre
The Pickford Theatre located at 1416 Cornwall Avenue in Bellingham, Washington is my favorite movie house ever. The theatre tends to show thoughtful, intelligent films from around the world. Recently I’ve seen “The Queen,” ” Vajra Sky Over Tibet,” and “Little Miss Sunshine. Currently “Iran in Fragments” is …
Tina Fey (actress, producer)
I have way more respect for actress Tina Fey since I started watching episodes of ‘30 Rock’ on DVD. I caught one episode when it first came on the air. But for some reason, I never followed up on the program. When Tina Fey …
Netflix
I worked at a video store for 3 years and so I got free rentals. However, the video store, “Hollywood Video”, didn’t really have everything I was looking for. Enter Netflix who has everything I could want. I keep thinking I’ll run out of stuff to want to watch …
American Dad
I rarely watch American Dad. It’s a funny show, but the jokes are a little too crude to be watching with my daughter in the same room.
I did watch last night’s Christmas Special though and was entertained.
I think the reason I liked it so much is the fact they …
Aliens (1986)
Aliens (1986) is a science-fiction film by director James Cameron and is rated R by the MPAA.

Night At The Museum 2 movie
Two weeks ago, my husband, together with my 7-year old daughter decided to watch a movie. There are four cinemas in the mall that we went to, and none of them were showing an animated film, so we decided to watch Night At The Museum 2 since it was …
The Revenant (2015 Historical Drama Movie)
I hesitated in watching it for some time but after a while I realised that I was hearing nothing but gushing reviews about the movie “The Revenant”. When I realised that it was even nominated for several prestigious awards I decided to take the chance and watch it myself. While …
A Few Good Men movie
A Few Good Men is a very good movie and a very powerful film. I think this is one of the best military movies ever made. Even though it did not have many if any gun battles or fights it truly kept you at the edge of your seat and …
Mona Lisa Smile
Julia Roberts stars in this movie where for women, it’s about getting married and not necessarily school. It is an interesting portrait of the paths that different women take, such as marriage, working for a living, no marriage, birth control, etc. If some parts had been cut down …
Wall-E
When the movie Wall-E first came out, i figured it was going to be just like any other over-hyped animated movie. So, I didn’t bother watching it until very recently. As it turns out, the movie is actually one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
The film, which is …
Terminator Salvation
This is the 4th installment of the terminator franchise. I have always loved all the terminator series specially California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger doing the part of the terminator. I was really not sure what to expect with new Terminator movie since Arnold is no longer part of the …
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
I really enjoyed watching the film 30 Days of Night and was excited when I heard that a sequel would soon be coming to the big screen. To what potential readers may find dismaying, I have to say that that 30 Days of Night: Dark Days was unimpressive.
I did …
Old School movie
I finally got a chance to watch the movie Old School last night, when it was on TV. I’m not sure how much of the film got edited for television but I have to admit, it was better than I expected it to bed.
Will Ferrell has two different kinds …
Isn’t she Great movie
A film about the author Jacqueline Susann and the way she went from one of the most hated to one of the most beloved. The key was how her books were marketed in different ways, and how they finally did this came to change the book industry for ever.
Of …
The Cure (2014 movie)
One of the most astounding films I have watched in recent months is The Cure directed by David Gould. This film unveils a dangerous thought that has probably crossed some of our minds, if not all, at some point in our lives. Has the cure for cancer been discovered …
The Aviator Movie
A movie based on the life of Howard Hughes and all the trials he beared in his lifetime. From the Actresses to the Hearings of his mis-use of government funds and his compulsive tendencies. Leonardo DiCarprio portrays a great Howard Hughes…a well done performance. This movie is not a …
Ironman the Movie
Before when I was watching the movie trailer of Ironman, I was thinking that the trailer was just intended to hype up the anticipated viewers of the film. I guess my first impression was wrong, I under estimated the capacity of the movie to become a blockbuster hit.
Anyway, …
Bruno
If you liked Sacha Baron Cohen’s most famous movie, Borat, you will find Bruno funny. Yes, this latest controversial and extremely politically incorrect comedy is over-the-top in the poor taste department. I do admit to finding the reactions of the people he encounters to be hilarious, and in …
Hairspray (movie)
I watched the movie Hairspray, the new movie and not the original, for kicks and grins. Was I disappointed! I suppose that I should have taken my own cues that I was not too impressed with the first version of Hairspray! Anyway, if you want to listen to pop …
The Other Boleyn Girl movie
I have not read the novel by Philippa Gregory, but I really enjoyed this movie, in spite of reading so much criticism. It was beyond my expectation. I usually avoid watching epic film but there was something engrossing about “The Other Boleyn Girl”, that left me seated till the …
Evil movie
A swedish film from the self-biographical novel by Jan Guillou. It is the story of a young rebellious man who goes to a college. There he learns that the older students from the “finer families” are the bosses and that the younger students have to obey their rules to …
Clean Slate (movie)
I have to admit, outside of Wayne�s World and Wayne�s World 2, I haven�t seen many Dana Carvey movies. But, after watching his film, Clean Slate, I think I�m going to have to see more.
Granted, Carvey wasn�t overly convincing as a private investigator. He just didn�t seem tough enough, …
Film “The Carriers” (2009)
The opening scene of carriers is a group of young people driving down the road drinking. We find out they are following some sort of code of rules they made up but not why. They soon come upon a car that is stopped and begging for gas. …
Road to Morocco movie
The Road pictures continue with this third outing from 1942 called Road to Morocco. As with the first two films, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour starred. It was that same old formula, too, but that isn’t a bad thing in the case of this movie.
One of …
Willy Wonka is Willy Bad
I have seen both versions of Willy Wonka and I can speak from personal experience. Johnny Depp couldn’t be more awful! The old version portrayed Wonka as a dignified adult of English society with a streak of uncontrollable genius.
In this movie the jokes are corny and disgusting, the Oopa …
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
If you are thinking on watching G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, it’s worth your money, trust me. That’s what I feel on the whole. This movie has the ever-rising and handsome Channing Tatum as the main character, I suppose and he will be really big in future, …
Romeo and Juliet Movie (1996)
If I wanted to read Shakespeare, I would, but if given the chance to watch Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in the big screen, I would certainly choose that instead.
When Romeo and Juliet movie came out in 1996, I really got excited because it stars Leonardo DiCaprio (who is really, …
Parker (2013 movie)
I just got around to watching Parker after waiting around for quite a while since its announcement. Anyways, I’m a big fan of Jason Statham films and so this one is no exception and is a must watch for me. However, after watching it, I find that this really …
When Trumpets Fade movie
A film set during World War II, focused on a band of soldiers and their struggle for survival. It begins very good with a strong sense of realism and despair, but then it is so evident that this film was intended for television, and the low budget is so …
In a lonely place movie
Nicholas Ray showed his incredible craft and vision with this Humphrey Bogart-film of the early 1950s. Ray worked in many different genres and did an excellent job almost every time, but perhaps he is most famous for his cult rated Rebel without a cause with James Dean. In a …
Le Havre by Aki Kaurismaki (2011 film)
I’m fairly accustomed to watching subtitled foreign language films, where one mostly gets an education of Cinema’s roots. It is just now that new titles —“ notable ones from last year’s Cannes —“ have popped out way past the editorial reviews and hoopla spewed by publications. Le …
Trouble with Angels movie
I am reviewing the movie, the Trouble with Angels. This movie is about two girls. They go to a school run by nuns. One is innocent and the other is trouble. The two hook up as best friends and the result is trouble. They definitely keep the sisters on …

All grown-up, Harry, Ron and Hermione, embark on their own on what may be their last journey to find the Horcruxes and destroy them before Lord Voldemort can …
Movie Curse of the Devil 1972
Why would you make a werewolf movie with a title that evokes an Exorcist rip-off?
More Waldemar the Werewolf fun has Paul Naschy once again donning the furry costume to bring mayhem on the villagers. Only this time, it is a pretty tired exercise that misses the fun and wacky …
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Directed and Produced by MadHOUSE
Now this is what you call a good movie.
From the creators of Death Note, Beck and claymore, this one from Madhouse is a sure another topnotch! Its not an action anime but more on romantic and fantasy and supernatural genre.
This movie was based on the …
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 …
Doghouse Movie
The undead, infected, and zombies have been in every independent horror, comedy, and even action movie as of late. If you have a laughable budget then it must be written somewhere that you have to make a movie like this. At least Doghouse takes the trendy concept and adds …
Little Miss Sunshine Movie
