Men In Black (movie 1997)
From afar, you see a light spiraling towards earth…from in the distance it would seem like nothing to worry about, but when it reaches land, that’s where the carnage begins. A bug has come to earth to capture a galaxy for it’s source of sub-atomic energy on it’s own …
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth installment in the Harry Potter saga. Now why I do enjoy all of the movies because I finally get to see these characters I have imagined for years, I feel that the Goblet of Fire is the weakest …
Finding Nemo
What a scary thought. Lost your wife, then lose your only child, right before your eyes. If this wasn’t an animated feature, that would be a shocking premise, not a heartwarming one.
But I think this film’s subject matter was handled in a toned-down way, balanced between the search for …
The Devil Wears Prada
I typically like Anne Hathaway’s movies but the Devil Wears Prada just didn’t do anything for me.
Hathaway plays an up and coming journalism student who takes an internship at a fashion magazine and finds herself going from social outcast to the favorite of her boss (played by Meryl Streep). …
All The Boys Love Mandy Lane Movie
This movie is quite interesting since I’ve seen it several times shown on tv but haven’t really watched it. I’ve recently just watched the movie Never Back Down and it features the same girl here which is Amber Heard. She’s really pretty and wholesome and when I saw her …
Step Up 3D Movie (2010)
This has got to be my new favorite dance movie of all times! My favorites movies before had been combined of Stomp the Yard and You Got Served, and the other movies that had tried to emulate them had failed, except for this one! This movie is a combination …
Straight Out of Brookyln movie
I am going to review a drama film that was directed by a young black man named Matty Rich in 1991.It is called straight out of Brooklyn. It is about an African american teeange boy named Dennis and his sister living with their family in a Brooklyn housing …
Casino Royale
Casino Royale is a remake to a more modern day version of an old James Bond movie. The new version is full of action like you would typically see in a James Bond movie. However it was a bit more violent than most I have ever seen before. James …
Stephen King’s Pet Semetary movie
One of my favorite movies of all time, Stephen King’s “Pet Semetary” is always worth a watch. It’s the story of a young Doctor who is moving his family to Maine to take up a new position. While working his first week on the job, he tries, unsuccessfully to …
Starving in Suburbia (movie)
I just finished watching the movie Starving in Suburbia and it was one of the best Lifetime original movies I can remember watching. I was actually shocked that it only got a rating of about 6.5 on its IMDB page since I think that it should have gotten at …
The Blind Side-Movie
I anticipated that as soon as The Blind Side was available on DVD that it would be my goal to see it right away, and I did this past weekend. Just the previews and trailers alone made me cry, so I knew it would be a very heart-warming movie. …
The Hiding Place Movie
I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.
The story is of Corrie ten Boom, and her …
Baker Street Nursemaids
I am reviewing The Case of the Baker Street Nursemaids, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie …
Happily N’Ever After
We all are familiar with Cinderella right? Well this is another version but a little of the spoof version as I may say.
I grew up listening to the happy endings of Cinderella and was even watching its cartoon series on the television. When I saw this movie I wonder …
Wanted movie
I’m such a huge fan of Angelina Jolie that I’ve seen every film she has starred in. The latest of which is “Wanted”, the action-packed flick based on the comics by Mark Millar and JG Jones and directed by Timur Bekmambetov about Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) a man who …
Film “The Other Guys” (2010)
I consider myself to be a fan of Mark Walburg but not of Will Ferrell. I used to like Will but I have found his last several movies to all be similar. Mark can play a range of characters, but Will always seems to play a very …
Three Wishes DVD
Firmly locked in as one of my top ten Patrick Swayze movies, Three Wishes is a magical delight. It has a great cast with Swayze, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Joseph Mazzello, and Seth Mumy. With the recent death of Swayze, I wanted to watch one of his movies …
Waitress (2007)
A small town woman living a small town life, dreams of leaving her current surrounds in hopes of launching her own bakery and serving up her famous and delectable pies that are dreamed up with kindness and baked with love. Sounds like a very delicious movie huh, but on …
Netflix
We absolutely love our netflix subscribtion. Since having one it has saved us a bundle on renting movies. We like how quick and efficient their service is too. It’s the only service we ever use to rent movies anymore.
Netflix is an online movie rental service. This service far beats …
Blame It On Rio movie (1984)
Anyone who wants to sit back and forget their problems for a couple of hours should rent “Blame It On Rio.” It is one of those romantic comedies that is so much fun, I want to see it practically every time it airs on TV. It centers around Matthew …
S.W.A.T
It is really hard not to like a movie with Samuel L. Jackson in it. At least for me it is. And I love almost everything he does. I’m not a huge Colin Farrell fan after movies like Phone Booth and that weird Jesse James western thing he did, …
The Bourne Ultimatum
I have to say, this movie really did live up to my expectations. Third in the series that also includes The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, this movie follows Jason Bourne as he seeks out the people who made him what he has become and gradually “all …
Chicken Little movie
When it comes to being a good family film, Chicken Little falls a little short.
What could have been a great story about a chicken who tries to convince the town he\’s not insane when he gets hit on the head with a piece of the sky, turns out to …
Session 9 (2001 movie)
“Session 9″ is another one of those little known horror movies that never made it to the big screen, as far as I know. I came across it on cable, and two things about it intrigued me. The lead actor is David Caruso, who I always liked from his …
The Dark Knight
Ok so I took my wife to see the much anticipated “Dark Knight” hoping that we would both enjoy it as much as the first one. We didn’t, but that’s not to say this isn’t a good movie. In fact, this is a great movie, but it …
Movie Cloverfield
I finally had a chance to watch Cloverfield on DVD. I have to admit, it was not exactly what I was expecting.
I was expecting a real story with enough footage that I could actually see what was happening, not another attempt at the Blairwitch Project. Just …
Hide and Seek (2005) movie
Been watching alot of old scary movies lately and this was the last one I got to watch. I figured Dakota Fanning and Robert Deniro can’t go wrong here. Alright lets jump right into this one.
So the story is pretty strange from the start. A dad find his …
Master of Disguise-movie
I recenlty watched a film starring the comedian Dana Carvey.It was called the Master of Disguise.It was about a young italian waiter named Pistachio Disguisey who must rescue his father Fabbrizio who has been captured by a villan Devlin Bowman.Pischaccio’s family has the gift of super skills in disguise.Devilin …
The Santa Clause 2 (2002 Film)
The Santa Clause was a great film that I loved as a child and as an adult. And the sequal to this family friendly film titled, “The Santa Clause 2” which came out in 2002 was also just as mesmerizing. In this film, we watch as Santa Clause (Scott …
Kill Bill 2
My mind flies to the time I had seen Kill Bill 1, on the very first night it had been given to the crowd. I, as everybody else who rispected Q. Tarantino, waited for another grand work on the big screen.
I still remember the crowd’s reactions that night.
Now, after …
Due Date: Movie
Due Date is a comedy film that I really enjoyed, despite going into it with a slight bit of pessimism due to previous reviews I’d heard.
It was much better than I expected, and had a number of laugh out loud moments that make me want to watch it again …
Coraline cartoon movie
I have just finished watching “Coraline” and I thought about writing the review now with the memory of it fresh in my head.
It is a cute cartoon movie, a bit too spooky for young children but nevertheless very moralizing.
I have let my son watch it with me and he …
Adventureland (2009) movie
Adventureland is a movie about a kid who has just graduated from college and is getting ready for his big summer going to Europe. Yet when his dad gets a large pay cut he can’t afford to pay for him to go. He then has to find a job …
Film The Bank Job
The Bank Job is a retread of the tried and tested, ‘caper film with likable London criminals’ formula, in the same vain as the Italian Job, but with more banking, and no Michael Caine.
Now, although it has no new ideas there are good things about this film, not the …
What Happens in Vegas
It seems that the couple, Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher really works because thousands of people went to the cinema to watch “What Happens in Vegas” during the first weeks when thi movie was released.
What is so great about “What Happens in Vegas” that made it such a huge …
Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996)
Many times over I have mentioned that certain movies do not need a sequel and for every time I mention this fact there comes another movie which is a sequel to prove that fact time and time again. Take this movie for example, the original movie was so good …
What Lies Beneath
My daughter loves horror movies and convinced me to rent What Lies Beneath. She said it was a good movie, but I am not a huge fan of horror films. I decided to give it a try anyway. She wanted to watch it, so why not. I rented the …
Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
OK, I’ll admit it. When Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle came out, I figured it was going to be a very stupid movie and didn’t take the time to watch it.
But, last night, on a hunch, I gave it a try. And, I have to say I …
The Good Soldier (1981) Starring Jeremy Brett and Susan Fleetwood
“The Good Soldier” is a 1981 production for British television by Granada. The two hour movie lasts 120 minutes and is based on the book by the same name written by English author, Ford Madox Ford. Ford is not as well remembered as he should be because he made …
Bruce Almighty (2003)
This is a ludicrous comedy from the outside but a heresy from the inside. Many Christians who are adept with the Biblical principles will definitely not agree with some ideas presented in this movie concerning God and his being. I admit some scenes here are really funny like when …
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 …
Step Up 2: The Streets
Although it is the sequel of “Step Up”, “Step Up 2: The Streets” offers a different type of movie from the original version. I expected the story to be based again, like in the original movie, at the Maryland School of Arts, however the action takes place else where …
Surf’s Up
When I first saw previews to Surf’s Up, the first thing I thought was ‘Not another penguin movie.’ But, after taking the time to watch it last night, I have to admit it was probably the best out of those I’ve seen.
Unlike other Penguin movies, Surf’s Up doesn’t take …
Monster In Law movie
I don’t know if the whole Jennifer Lopez thing is all played out. But seeing her in another “Getting Married” movie is just not cutting it for me anymore. This movie is another don’t watch film starring J-Lo. If you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. This film is …
Erin Brockovich DVD
Erin Brockovich is based on the life story of the woman who brought one of the largest class action lawsuits in history again the California utilities companies. More than a courtroom drama though, this film is about an unemployed single mother of three children living on the brink of …
Crude Impact documentary
‘Crude Impact’ is a disturbing documentary discussing the issue of our dependence on fossil fuels, oil in particular. Similarly to ‘A Crude Awakening’, it brings an alarming news; our reserves of fossil fuels are coming to an end. Of course, the catastrophe will not happen in a year or …
The Day After Tomorrow
Director Ronald Emmerich has given us some of the most adored Hollywood blockbusters such as Independence Day and Godzilla but his new venture “The Day After Tomorrow” is not up to par with his earlier work. In this flick he uses the most sought after object of the present …
Movie National Treasure
I thought that this movie looked like a cool movie when I got it, so I sat down and watched it right away, and I really liked it. It is not my favorite movie, but it is pretty interesting and is a fun movie to watch with other people …
