Movie : 3000 Miles to Graceland
3000 Miles to Graceland is a comedic action movie starring Courteney Cox, Kurt Russell, and Kevin Costner. It is a mindless shoot I’m a movie with some genuinely funny moments. The best part of the movie was that it didn’t take itself too seriously —“ there was a serious …
Star Wars III-Revenge of the Sith
This installation to the Star Wars Saga was not the worst nor the best. It failed to live up to the hype, it’s somewhat boring, plus the characters are semi-believable. Anakin’s character was poorly portrayed as he just randomly switched to the Darkside without a real reason. General Grievous …

Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins
After seeing a preview of the new film Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, I quickly assumed this was a ‘wait for dvd’ movie. Thanks to a lack of good movies in February, I decided to take a chance on this film. To my surprise this film was actually …
Sky High movie
Sky High is a 2005 move that mixes elements of both the superhero and teen movie genres into an enjoyable, exceptionally fun movie going experience. It’s not the best movie around, and certainly isn’t the best composite of it;s two respective genres, but it is still a very watchable …
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

The Real Blair Witch (2003)
The Real Blair Witch is a television documentary that has little to do with the 1999 movie —˜The Blair Witch Project’ other than it involves some film footage that is debatable as to whether it is real or not. In 2002 a group of high school friends in …
Children of Men
To start off with, any movie that has Michael Caine saying, �Pull my finger� at gunpoint can’t be all bad. And Children of Men is not bad, but it sure is depressing. The story of a future Earth, where the last baby born was eighteen years ago, and now …
Your Friends and Neighbors (R, 1998) movie
Usually I really like those films that take place in New York, and follow groups of friends around in their fabulously “mundane” single lives. This one was a little odd. I realize that the movie is over 10 years old. But I think it’s …
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
I thought The Hand That Rocks the Cradle was pretty good. This movie had some scary parts and was very suspenseful. I have to say that I really did like the storyline. The story is about a woman who stays with a family and takes care of the kids in …
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People movie
I did not pay the movie “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People” any attention when it was advertising because I thought that it was going to be yet another one of those celebrity packed “comedies” that was not very funny. However, when I was forced to watch it …
Spoiler Alert: Iron Man 2 Movie
MY hubby wants to watch Iron Man 2. We have watched the first one and now that the second one has been released, we decided to watch it too. We are a big fan of comic-turn movie genres.

The Bourne Supremacy
Very rarely do sequels surpass there predecessors. There are some exceptions, Terminator 2, 28 Weeks Later, etc. I thought very highly of The Bourne Identity and believe that Supremacy surpasses it on every level. I was very nervous when I heard they weren’t bringing back the …
30 Days of Night. A Movie
To be fully honest I cannot stand scary movies, I am a much bigger fan of romantic comedies. However while I maybe a romantic comedy person, my husband is not. He loves scary movie and feels that romantic comedies are really boring. That being said every once in …
The Big Chill movie
This is such a wonderful movie, but it will bore those of you who dislike character studies and want more action-packed scenes. This is the story of a bunch of college friends who reunite many years later to attend the funeral of their mutual friend, who committed suicide. …
Sleepy Hollow
Last night was probably the 7th or 8th time I’ve seen the movie Sleepy Hollow. And, I have to say it, I love it as much as I did the first time I saw it.
Johnny Depp has a lot of great films. This is probably one of his best …

The Little Mermaid

Now, I’ve read the original story (and several other versions) and the movie does clean things up a little bit. …
Children of the Corn
Children of the Corn of the corn is a movie that made me become afraid of kids. I really think this movie is horrifying. I really liked the acting in the movie. These kids were really creepy and very evil. I liked their supernatural power. The music also really scared …

Movie Review of the Machinist
When Christian Bzle emerged from Hollywood to don the cape of Batman, the critics were at first skeptical, then heaped paeans of praise for his acting. It wasn’t as popular as Superman– hell, it was a portrayal of a dark character set against a dark backdrop. Between …
Stronger (2017 Biographical Drama Film)
For what it’s worth, biographical dramas are too often hard to pull off. Directors and storytellers need to be cautious with the underlying melodrama that this type of movies usually evokes. While it’s good for some viewers, experienced moviegoers looking for good or better films are going to be disappointed …

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 …
Movie: The Descent
The Descent is a horror cum gore movie, that horror seekers would love to watch. However, I have some qualms watching this movie, and I was at the verge of vomitting seeing the supposedly “monster” viciously attacking its preys or victims.
This story is about a group of girlfriends, …
Sudden Impact
Sudden Impact with Clint Eastwood and Sondra Locke.
Vigilante justice is a great movie theme. Mix this concept with the Dirty Harry Callahan persona and you have a real winner. Locke is avenging her and her sister’s rape ten years prior by shooting …
The Prestige
The inevitable comparisons between The Prestige and The Illusionist come, but their similarities end with the fact that they are about turn-of-the-last-century stage magicians. The Illusionist was a love story. The Prestige is a story of rivalry and revenge. The Prestige is decidedly darker, stepping down into the supernatural, …
“A Christmas Carol,” 2009 (Animation)
We went to see the new animated “Christmas Carol” movie yesterday. Like all new Disney animations, it is done in 3D; we got the 3D glasses as we bought the tickets, and paid $3 more per ticket because of it. It was well worth it though: I felt like …
Crank Jason Statham
I was already a fan of Jason Statham because I fell in love with his gorgeous accent. I can’t resist a man with an accent. This film is definitely fast paced. You do not have time to sit and wonder what happens next. It keeps moving and moving and …

Spiderman The Motion Picture
With great power comes great responsibility. With great movies comes greater ones. This is how I feel about the first Spiderman. I believe this movie moved the caliber of comic book-to-movie projects up a notch.
This movie showed that we can have great comic book movies with great characters and …
Into the wild movie
I watched this movie yesterday and the ending today. Overall it was pretty good. It was more of a documentary about a young boy who goes off into the wild and lives on his own. He burns all of his identification.
I thought it was pretty good overall. It was …

Hulk had another similar version released in 2003, directed by Ang Lee, starring Eric Bana as the Bruce Banner (The Hulk) and Jennifer Connelly as Betty Ross. The story was about the origins of the Hulk. It was quite a hit during that period of time in 2003.

The Iron Lady movie
I make it a point to watch as many of the Oscar contenders as possible before the awards are handed out in February, so that my enjoyment of the ceremony itself can be magnified by my rooting for this or that actor, director or writer. This year I wasn’t …
Clueless
Clueless, a hit movie about teenagers more than a decade ago, was one of my favorite movies as a teenager. This movie was shown at a perfect timing for me as a teenager myself during the 90’s. Its main character, Cher, played by Alicia Siverstone, could be a good …
The Bachelor
In a nutshell, “The Bachelor” is all about a guy who doesn’t want to commit to marriage, which is a reality these days more than ever! The interesting aspect about this movie is that it is a cute, funny romantic comedy that can be enjoyed both by men and …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is latest movie to come out and the fifth installment of the Harry Potter franchise. In my opinion, this is the best movie of the franchise. A HUGE improvement from the mess that was Harry Potter and the Goblet …
The Hannah Montana Movie

13 Ghosts (movie)
13 Ghosts is a movie about 13 Ghosts in a special house, trapped away until…yeah, that’s the clencher…until someone and something comes along to provoke a very special event. 13 Ghosts was really hard for me to watch because it moved so quickly and the ghostly visions were here …
Anchor Man
I am reviewing the movie, Anchorman, which was released in 2005. This movie stars the ever so funny, sometimes ridiculous Will Ferrell as legendary anchorman Ron Burgandy. Burgandy thinks he is something like a god in San Diego, where he is number one anchorman. Everything seems to be running …
Avatar movie
Alright, I’ll admit it: I’m one of the few people out there that actually didn’t go to the movie theater to see this movie. I rarely go to the theater period, mainly because I feel that it’s just so outrageously expensive. I do kind of regret not going to …
Stalag 17 movie
Stalag 17 is another classic picture which deals with World War II. This movie actually was the impetus for the Hogan’s Heroes TV series, though the movie is definitely a drama and not a comedy. William Holden excels as the American prisoner that is very much disliked …

“Under the Mistletoe” is a nice, holiday movie and makes for a warm family event on any holiday, or for that matter non-holiday evening.
