The Changling
When I rented the movie “The Changeling”, I did so because it was directed by Clint Eastwood, and I really enjoy the movies he directs. The subject matter, a mother whose young son disappears, is gut-wrenching, so I didn’t expect a light or enjoyable experience. It was based on …
The Lake House Movie
Trying to describe this movie is difficult because the “science” of it detracts from its warmth and the beauty of the love story between two people who had to be together in spite of the impossibilty of it. I watch it often and never tire of it.
A quirk in the …

Kill Your Darlings (2013 Biographical Drama Movie)
It seems I waited an age to watch the movie Kill Your Darlings. I ignored it a bunch of times while it was being aired on cable television channels because I always had this notion that it wouldn’t be very interesting. It was only after watching it last night, that …
Meet the Parents Movie
An insane comedy with Ben Stiller and an aged Robert De Niro. Stiller is a young nervous man who comes to meet his parents in law for the first time, which results in chaos and lots of humoristic situations. I personally think Ben Stiller is a talented comedian, but …
Moulin Rouge movie
In all honesty, I love this movie. Although I’m not a big fan of musicals, I found this movie to be very entertaining, funny, and romantic. The production was really something that amazed me and these are probably the reasons why it is one of my top ten favorite …

Magnolia (movie)

Cinema Paradiso (1988 film)
This film made me cry. Maybe because I’m prone to nostalgia or maybe because I’ve always loved cinema, and “Cinema Paradiso” (”Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” by its original Italian title) is both a movie steeped in nostalgia and a movie obviously made by a lover of the movies.
The story of …
Raiders of the Lost Ark
This is quite simply my favorite movie of all time, and that is saying a lot considering how many movies I have seen. This is one of the few films that I personally think is flawless. Indiana Jones is the best character to ever hit the big …
Daffy Duck’s Quack Busters
I loaded another Looney Tunes Cartoon on our Netflix Player the other day for our daughter “Daffy Duck’s Quack Busters.” It was an OK movie but not as good as I expected.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The term “childhood rape” is thrown around a lot nowadays. It seems like every movie now in some way, shape, or form rapes somebody’s childhood. People threw it around when Bay’s “Transformers” came around or when Lucas made the prequel trilogy. I myself felt the epitomy …
Step Up 3D Movie (2010)

An American Christmas Carol (1979). a movie
Normally, I don’t appreciate it when classic stories are being messed with, modernized, turned into musicals, etc. However, this attempt to Americanize the beloved Christmas story by Charles Dickens somehow turned out all right. Based, of course, on “A Christmas Carol,” this movie transforms the Victorian London into America’s …

The movie formula for Thirteen Ghosts works for me. I love the plot and though it’s a bit nonsensical to see these ghosts lurking with their weird designs and features, but it’s still a bonus to watch this.
I felt that this movie is like one of its …
Just Married
Just Married s a nice romantic comedy movie starring Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy. Though I can say that it is not a great movie, one can watch it without getting bored and have few hearty laughs throughout the movie. The opening scenes of the movie itself are very …
Friday the 13th
The first Friday the 13th movie is the one that few people remember. They forget that Kevin Bacon appeared in the movie, and they forget that Jason Vorhees was merely an afterthought. Most people completely forget that it was actually his mother who was the first killer.
Watching this movie …

Movie Bruno
Sachon Baron Cohen’s highly anticipated–highly controversial–new film “Bruno” follows the same vein as the 2006 hit “Borat.” Written by both Cohen and Anthony Hines, the movie relies entirely on its ability to shock its audience into laughter. For me, this was successful.
The movie is based on Cohen’s alternative personality …
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
