Movie: Kung Fu Panda
“Kung Fu Panda” is a 2008 animated film about Po, a fat noodle-selling Panda in China who loves kung fu and dreams of a more exciting life. It is a Dreamworks film, which means it has some decent animation but falls far short of a Pixar movie.

Paris When It Sizzles: A film by Richard Quine (1964)
In my fascination to the whole 60’s period, there couldn’t be a more concrete illustration of what it’s like to live in those days, other than movies created at that time. My own definition of a good time spent in front of the screen —“ is a combination …

Second Sight movie
Quite by accident, I discovered a movie playing over on the Hallmark Channel called Second Sight. I’d never seen it before. In the back of my mind, I have an extremely vague recognition of the title, but that’s it. However, what caught my attention and made …
House of Fears
OK, I have to admit that House of Fears makes me go all creepy. However, the movie is kind of dark and it’s quite irritating to say. I wish that most haunted movies would be clearer and not having a dark effect.
I am not really sure …

Movie The Hours
Although I like English literature and I usually like the literature from the beginning of the century, I didn’t like this movie a lot. It is actually a drama about 3 women who all lived in different decades of 1900’s, actually he last one lived in 2002 if I …

The Jungle Book movie
You know, I have seen the live action version of the movie The Jungle Book but this past weekend was the first time I’ve seen the cartoon version. After finally getting a chance to watch it (with my daughter) I have to say I liked the live version better.
This …
My Faraway Bride
I’m not usually interested in seeing romance movies or even reading romance books since I generally find them boring and unrealistic. However, when I saw the movie “My Faraway Bride” advertise, just the plot of it alone made me interested in watching it. I’m not even sure if the …

P2: Killer in a Parking Garage?
This has some spoilers, but believe me it is not that great of a movie, the spoilers will not be what ruins the movie, trust me.
My friend brought this movie out as something her mom had gotten from somebody at work, and said it was apparently supposed to …
Movie Watchmen
If you are looking for a regular super hero movie about people with special powers who are trying to save the world I think this film will disappoint you. Although it is about saving the world and about people with special powers it is certainly not a regular superhero …
Columbo: It’s All in the Game movie
Columbo: It’s All in the Game is rather memorable for a couple of reasons. Of course, there’s the great portrayal of the lead character by Peter Falk, but that’s constant throughout the entire history of the series. Rather, the wonder of this specific episode is Faye Dunaway …

VooDoo (Horror Movie)
If you ask me about my opinion of this movie. It is —“ “I just wasted 1 hour plus of my life! *Censored*! *Censored*! *Censored*!”

The Time Travelers Wife movie
I found this movie to be too odd to be very good. The thought behind the whole movie was very unique but because of so many weird things it just made the movie not as good as it could have been.
The first thing I didn’t like was that …
Original Sin movie
British dramas aren’t the easiest for me to watch. I’ve tried off and on, but they have their cultural slant that this American reviewer often just doesn’t get. The biggest thing for me is still trying to understand the lingo and sometimes just the spoken words. …
Alien vs. Predator
The anticipated meeting of two of movie’s greatest monsters is finally realized, but unfortunately fails to deliver beyond an initial, fleeting novelty.
There’s some thought put into it; an original Antarctic setting is visually impressive and the back story trying to tie these movie monsters into ancient history is …
There Will be Blood
There Will be Blood is tells the story of all of the things, good and bad, that come with power. This power stemming mainly from one product, oil. Daniel Day Lewis is absolutely electrifying in his role as the prospector and main character. He is deserved …
Movie The good girl

Sister Helen movie
I just finished watching the DVD of the Film “Sister Helen.” I had never heard of the 2002 movie but saw it on the shelf at my local library. Since I could check it for free, I figured I had nothing to lose and checked it out.
I am very …

Inside Out (Animated Comedy-Drama Movie)
It’s been a long time since I’ve actually been interested in something from Pixar Animation, but since I heard a lot of good reviews about one of their latest works, “Inside Out” I decided to take the risk with it. It turns out I actually enjoyed the movie, and I …
Punch Drunk love movie
Punch Drunk love is a diffrent movie and is one of the good movies in which Adam Sandler acted. Barry owns a company that sells some novelty items. This movie has a complete different theme and is very different from Adam Sandler’s other movies. As I like his performance …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 14
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 14 was a funny episode in its own way. It talks about falling in love at first sight. It would be hard to believe though that anyone would truly fall in love at first sight with a holodeck character though. However maybe in …
Quantum of Solace
Daniel Craig’s second outing as James Bond 007 was a sad disappointment, especially following the excellent ‘Casino Royale’, a film that managed to successfully reboot the franchise and make Agent 007 popular again with fans that had long grown tired of the outlandish and unrealistic direction the franchise was …

Meet the Parents, movie
Ben Stiller brings this familiar romp to life along with a strong supporting caste including Robert De Niro. I Thought this film captured some of the better elements that occur when meeting a fiancée’s in-laws for the first time, and it brought something different to a genre where I …
Gladiator movie
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Gladiator at all, but the intensity of the drama can’t be ignored. In short, this is a movie about a much respected general to Marcus Aurelius, the emperor of Rome, who is then condemned to execution by the emperor’s son, Commodus. The …
Pan’s Labyrinth

Madagascar 2
I recently had a go at Madagascar 2 since the release of the first one. I remember the tons of popular names in the show that I really didn’t know who at that point of time.
