Movie Mirrors
Starring: Keifer Sutherland (Ben Carson), Paula Patton (Amy Carson), Cameron Boyce (Michael Carson), Erica Gluck (Daisy Carson), Amy Smart (Angela Carson), Mary Beth Peil (Anna Esseker)
This movie follows roughly the storyline of a Korean movie that I’ve seen 2 or 3 years back (Into the Mirror). …
The Thirst Movie
The Thirst is one of the worst vampire movies I’ve ever seen and that’s saying a lot. I actually watch and review horror movies for payment and that means watching a lot of movies that I have no interest in watching usually. The movie follows a young girl who …
Scream 4 movie
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the “Scream” movies. I know that there are a lot of people who hate the franchise, but I never found myself in that camp. By that same token, I never bought it as a revolutionary leap forward in the …
The Woods: the movie
The Woods is a scary horror movie set in an all girls boarding school. The main character is a troubled teenager who was put in the school by her parents, who do not know how to handle her after she has set fires and done other things. …
From Paris With Love (2010) movie
Haven’t seen John Travolta take to the screen in a film that I have liked lately but this one was pretty entertaining. Nothing special just a good old fashion entertainment action film.
I do like the storyline it is quite interesting, with a twist I did not expect so …
Europa Europa Movie
“Europa Europa” (1990) is the true story of Salomon Perel (beautifully played by Marco Hofschneider), a young German Jew who tries to survive World War II and the Holocaust. Perel moves first to Poland, leaves when war breaks out, is brought to a Russian orphanage, then taken in …
Nine months Movie
I just saw this movie in one of the television channel.Two hours passed without knowing in a fraction of second.It was a comedy film and had message about the value of the family.From the start to the end it was full of comedy cracker and provides us with …
10th Kingdom Movie
A fairytale story about some teenagers finding themselves in the world of Snow White, Cinderella and lots of other fairytale characters when walking through Central Park in New York.
A film clearly intended for young teenagers, but if you look at it in that way I actually have to admit …
Living Out Loud movie
Living Out Loud is a very nice 2009 (though it was filmed in 2008) Hallmark movie about a woman who discovers she has breast cancer. The film follows her discovery, treatment, decisions, and recovery.
Gail O’Grady turns in a powerful performance as Emily Marshall, teacher, mother, and wife, who …
One for the Money (movie)
A couple years ago before one of my relatives died, she recommended that I read the Janet Evanovich novel “One for the Money” as she claimed that I would enjoy it. I was hesitant at first since at the time I was more of a horror fan and we …
The Tree of Life (2011 film)
If there’s a film-maker that has accepted the notion of the old avant-garde style, which professes the use of very specific direction and narration in the most unconventional way, it is Terrence Malik. His style is not for everyone, and perhaps that includes me.
…
Something To Talk About (movie)
Something To Talk About is a movie about relationships. And if you love horses, you will love the equestrian action in this film! Julia Roberts is Grace, a bored and well to do housewife who works at her family’s horse ranch. She and her husband, Eddie (Dennis Quaid), have …
Blackout (NR, 2007)
This sleeper hit was about the Blackout that occurred in 2003 on the Northeast Seaboard. This movie was certainly hidden, because I’d never heard about it until I stumbled across it on Netflix. In any case, there aren’t too many big names. Sean Blakemore has a …
Biutiful Movie
The director of this movie is a very famous Mexican director who has made many previous movies with the same basic structure in all of his films. He will take a bunch of disconnected or interconnected stories and then weave them together to make a movie. In …
Fast and the Furious
In America, we’ve been car crazed for along time. Nascar racing and any souped up automobile that will blow across the road like the wind, we love it. There have been hundreds of movies based around cars, but none took the box office by storm like the 2001 mega …
Hot Rod
If you have never seen Hot Rod but love comedies, then you have to check this movie out! It has a few of the cast members of Saturday Night Live such as Andy Sandburg and veteran actress Sissy Spacek, who plays his mother, and a motley crew of some of …
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 …
Moving Target movie
Moving Target could have a decent movie, but it just drags way too much to be more than so-so. The plot has some intrigue to it, but it’s poorly directed with too many long pauses and too much murkiness. I say that even though there is a …
Easy Rider
Easy Rider is a movie about riding. Simple as that. I suppose riders all over would be able to love the movie and relate to the journeys of Billy and Wyatt, acted by Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda respectively. Well, minus the dope at least. These 2 …
The Bucket List
Life is worth living till the last minute. This is the message that conveys the film “Bucket List” which includes the actors, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman in one of their best roles ever.
“The Bucket List” is about Edward Cole and Carter Chambers who lead two complete different lives, …
Boss, a telugu movie
casting: Nagarjuna, Nayana tara, sunil
Boss is an average movie. Music and songs are also below average. There is no stuff in the movie. No message… nothing. This is just time pass movie. This time Hero Nagarjuna took wrong step in choosing the story. The best part of the movie …
The Rocketeer
When I was a teenager, i remember seeing the Rocketeer movie advertized. Though I wasn’t into that sort of stuff then, I was more busy trying to rebel from my parents and anything that resembled childhood, I was nonetheless intrigued about this film and wanted to see it. Though …

“The Departed” is a powerful police, criminal drama of deception and tension. Officer Billy Costigan (Leonardo DeCaprio) is a recent graduate of the Massachusetts state police academy placed deep under cover to infiltrate the mob gang of Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson). Costello has his own informant Detective Sergeant Colin …
Scary Movie
I could still remember when I saw the very first Scary Movie sequel. I watched it on VCD, and the whole time while watching this comedy movie made me laugh out loud. The jokes were very funny and the spoof that they made was totally funny as …
Borderline Cult (R, 2007) movie
If at all possible, never, ever, ever, ever rent this movie. I went online at Netflix, thinking that this was going to be an innovative horror film. I was so disappointed. The beginning is rather stark. There are three serial killers who work …
Charade movie
From 1963, Charade is one of the best thrillers ever made, and to think it revolves around a simple stamp. The film is romantic, dramatic, and leaves you gasping more than once as the action unfolds. The mystery stays fresh and revitalizes itself several times throughout. …
The Ramen Girl movie
I wasn’t expecting much from the movie The Ramen Girl simply because I’m not a huge Brittany Murphy fan. But, I will admit, it turned out to be better than expected.
Murphy is convincing as a woman who travels to Japan to be with her boyfriend and, after getting dumped …
Movie: Rear Window (the original)
Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window is a great movie by the master of suspense movies! The acting is phenomenal as it stars Grace Kelly (so beautiful!) and Jimmy Stewart (one of my favorite actors). Jimmy Stewart plays a character who has broken his leg and is in a wheelchair and …
James Bond - Casino Royale
This movie is quite different from all the previous 007 movies starting from Sean Connery as James Bonds. First I have to point out that the opening introductory song is also different. From all the previous ones, when the music started, there were usually profiles of women dancing all …
300 Movie
I suuuuuper love this movie! The concept, the visuals, the sounds, the costumes, the actors, the abs… Although I already knew what was going to happen to them, I still loved how they came to that grand finale. And even if Leonidas was supposedly killed by a rain of …

Picture this women…you are married to a wonderful person who is smart, loving and compassionate. Only to find out that your beloved husband is a control freak at the worst extent. You can’t go anywhere or do anything without him, you are like a prisoner in your own home. …
Masters of Horror Series:Homecoming
Description:
Homecoming is a horror story from the Masters of Horror Series on the Channel Showtime which I really enjoy. Whats cool about the series is every story is totally different with all new characters as well as the surroundings. This story happens to be Horror/Political Satire. The plot is …
The X-Files
“The X-Files” was one of the most popular American television shows which was aired on television in the1990s. I do not know one person from my peer group who lived in the West and did not know about the television show. I can even remember that it used …
Rambo (2008) movie
There is nothing new in the story, once again Rambo is tired of killing enemies, he has given up everything and living a peaceful life of a hermit.
Once again some people come to him and beg him to help them get over the enemies and release innocent people, and …
The Music Man
Who can forget the wonderful song, 76 Trombones? Not me, and that’s why The Music Man is so memorable. I do love this movie, although I’m not all that hooked on the chemistry of Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. Both are great in their roles, and …
Imitation Of Life (movie)

It Takes two is a movie starring Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. They play two girls who look alike but are not related and from two different backgrounds. They meet at a camp and become freinds where they hatch a plan to get the case worker of the orphan …
Dead End movie
This movie is really a little gem. A darkly comic, sometimes shocking and incredibly simple horror comedy is perhaps overlooked by the masses, but should be easy enough to track down and enjoy on DVD now days.
The strength of the film lies with its simplicity. A family, on …
Summer Catch - (starring Jessica Biel and Freddie Prinze Jr.)
I have watched Summer Catch on DVD before starring Jessica Biel and Freddie Prinze Jr. They look so romantic together and I feel that they have a super chemistry together. Too bad they are not together in real life. The ending is a good one and I …
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 …
Born Free
When I was little I used to hear my mother talk about a film she used to watch when she was little named Born Free. She made it sound so interesting I couldn’t help but be eager to see it, and some time after coincidentally I was able to …
Crazy in Alabama
I don’t know what it is lately, but it seems, whenever I rent a “comedy” it turns out to be a good movie but it is horribly mis-classified.
That’s the case with the movie Crazy in Alabama; which, like many other movies is billed as a funny movie. But, in …
Barbershop (2002)
This is a movie about a family business being handed down from generation to generation, in this case, it was handed down to Calvin, played by Ice Cube, but unlike his father before him, he did not want the hassle of running the business on the grounds that it …
The film The Secret
I found this “The Secret” to be quite ridiculous, a tad boring, and totally unrealistic. This “movie” generated much hype a couple of years ago and, like most, I fell for it all and ran out to rent it. BIG mistake. It spends two agonizing hours …
Movie: The Wolfman
I wanted to see the remake of the film The Wolfman when it came out at the theater. But, as is often the case lately, I didn’t have the money and had to wait for it on DVD.
In hindsight, I’m glad I didn’t fork out the money.
This movie was …
Happy Feet ( childrens movie )
My daughter rented this childrens movie last night. My grandkids have been dying to see Happy Feet, and they were not dissapointed.
This is a very cute and funny animated movie about Emperor Penguins, who are born to sing . The actors in Happy feet are : Robin Willams, Hugh …
Confessions (Japanese Movie)
Confessions (Kokuhaku) is a 2010 Japanese drama film directed by Tetsuya Nakashima, based on Kanae Minato’s 2008 debut mystery novel.
A friend of mine recommended the movie to me, she is very excited about it and is practically chanting “must watch” over and over again! Knowing that we’ve quite similar …
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
These days, many small budget movies with lesser-known actors are becoming big news at the mainstream award shows like the Oscars and the SAG, not just the film festivals. “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” is one film that actually slipped under the radar and, in my opinion, should …
