Barbie in the 12 Dancing princesses
‘Barbie in the12 Dancing Princesses’ is the cartoon I like best in series about Barbie. All Barbie cartoons are gently, peaceful and suitable for girls. They are like fairy tales with magnificient context. But the appearance of princes, pricesses, farm girls and poor people in Barbie stories isn’t like …

The Da Vinci Code
The Da Vinci Code with Tom Hanks, Ian McKellen, Alfred Molina, and Jean Reno.
This movie appeared on the scene when everyone was promoting the concept of the Da Vinci Code in books, TV, and documentaries. The star studded cast also appealed to my interest …
Entrapment movie
As much as I thought I would enjoy the movie Entrapment, I will start out by saying it took me more than a month to actually watch it from beginning to end mostly because I couldn’t stand to be bored for more than a few minutes at a time.
Sean …
The Jane Austen Book Club Movie
The movie “The Jane Austen Book Club” was one that I was drawn to immediately upon reading the title. As a huge Jane Austen fan myself I was really excited about the idea of a movie that was centered on her books and the effects the books have on …
The Pride of Jesse Hallam movie
I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy The Pride of Jesse Hallam, a 1981 movie that I recently had the chance to see. I just didn’t think it would appeal to me. Plus, the star was Johnny Cash (playing the title role), and usually I don’t tend to …
Alice in Wonderland (2010) movie
Alice in Wonderland is the newest release on this old tale but it is a new twist on the story that we have all heard before. The man behind the magic this time is Tim Burton.
The story takes place when Allison is 19 returning to Wonderland, actually called …
Devour Movie (2005)
When I saw Jensen Ackles in this movie, I immediately wanted to watch it as he’s really a great actor in Supernatural and he’s one of my favorites. This movie is a horror/suspense movie and it’s actually quite disappointing; the only compensation is that the actor is handsome and …
Open the Door Richard movie short
I have no idea how to even describe this 1945 movie short called Open the Door Richard. It’s a strange production that I just don’t understand. It features Dusty Fletcher and the infamous Richard, if only in spirit.
I just don’t know what to say, or should I …
Bonnie and Clyde (DVD Movie)
I call this my 1967 DVD classic movie and I never get tired of watching this endless times. Love both Bonnie and Clyde and if you are past 20 years of age and still don’t know who Bonnie and Clyde is, then you are really a geek, geez.
These 2 …
Gridiron Gang
I am reviewing the movie, Gridiron Gang, staring Dwane Johnson “The Rock.” This movie is about a probation’s officer who is willing to go up against all odds in order to save lives. It seems that each time a kid rolls in, faces time, and rolls out, …
Notting Hill with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts
This movie is set in Notting Hill, and is the story of a bookstore owner who meets and falls in love with a movie star(Julia Roberts). The movie star also feels the same way, but they have a typical set of problems between the media and his goofy roommate.
His …
Vampires Suck (Movie, 2010)
With the over abundance of vampire movies and television shows out and coming out it only makes sense that someone would come out with a spoof of these entertaining videos, but isn’t a spoof supposed to be funny? Sure, “Vampires Suck” has some funny points, maybe about three of …
Just Married (2003)
Just Married, directed by Shawn Levy is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexual content, some crude humor and a brief drug reference. The original release date was January 10, 2003 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Romance and stars …
“Up in the Air” (2009 film)
Director Jason Reitman, in his third feature (after “Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking”) delivers “Up in the Air,” a more heartfelt and poignant effort than either of its predecessors-stylized in a similar way, but much more honest in its pathos-tinged comedy. It works better for me story-wise because …
Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf movie
There are good movies, there are bad movies, and then there are movies that are so bad that they’re good. These are movies that manage to entertain because of the bad acting, sub par writing, and low budget.
Lately, there has been a push to try and intentionally …
The Weather Underground documentary
„The Weather Underground” is a documentary about one of the most radical organization in the history of the USA. The film not only attempts to tell the story of the group, but also skillfuly portrays the atmosphere of the late sixties the time of political upheaval, violence …
House Of Voices
Speaking of horror and haunting movies, this one title, House Of Voices sits in the list of mine as being pretty boring and bland. I’ve watched it with my friends and if I’m not mistaken, this movie was before 2005 or 2006.
The story is about this particular woman who …
The Other Boleyn Girl movie
I don’t ordinarily enjoy period films. I typically find them boring, tedious, and kind of silly. Plus, there is usually very little that I can relate to in them. But when a relative told me to give “The Other Boleyn Girl” a chance, I …
Nayak (movie), 2001

The Fifth Element
I know many people love this movie. Even the grade school pupils adore this. But please count me out. This movie I think has overdone it’s attempt to illustrate something in a deeper sense to the point it appeared obscure.
Because of the way the …
Home Town Story movie
From 1951, Home Town Story is another movie from Metro Goldwyn Mayer that gets right to the point. It has to because it’s just over an hour an length, which wasn’t uncommon for films before the sixties.
When I first put this on, I was taken aback somewhat by …
Independence day
Well, what an intriguing mystery on how the aliens (if there are) may look like was given a hypothetical description in this movie. Yes, it is possible that our technology here on earth may be a little rusty but perhaps those aliens could have done something about their …

X-Men Movie
I marveled at the thought that an X-Men movie was going to be made at last, but all that was cut to threads when I finally saw the film. While the plot is comic like as it should be, it was without intrigue. Some of the characters where well …
Center Stage 2: Turn It Up Movie
Having watched Center Stage 1 the movie, I was also eager to watch this as it was shown on HBO back-to-back, for 4 hours I had watched 2 Center Stage movies and I had liked them both. I honestly liked the first movie better and I already was expecting …

The second in the original star wars triogly was the Empire Strikes back. this movie in my opinion was a bridge between the first installment the Star Wars, and the third movie of the trioplogy the Return of the Jedi.
Again we meet Luke as he is a …

Dumb & Dumber
I don’t think anyone else but Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey could play Harry and Lloyd. You hear that all the time, that so-and-so are born to play a role, but Jim Carrey was Lloyd Christmas, and Jeff was Harry Dunne. They both stepped into these characters seamlessly, artfully. …
Sherry Baby
“Sherry Baby” is a movie with a great message to send back home about ex-women convicts. Although the interpretation of Maggie Gyllenhaal in the main role is excellent, this movie has a weak script and the story moves on a very slow pace.
This movie is about a woman Sherry …

Released as El Retorno del Hombre-Lobo in Spain, Paul Naschy opted to remake his greatest success, The Werewolf’s Shadow, to recoup the cash that he lost on his previous non-werewolf films. It didn’t work out. The film was a major failure and it bankrupted Naschy’s company.
What a shame as …

Coneheads with Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtain, Jason Alexander, and Chris Farley.

Movies like this make me shake my head and wonder, ‘What were they thinking??’ I am not alone in this, as I see, in regards to this particular movie: I saw ‘The Money Pit’ listed among 10 worse movies done in the 1980s in one online article. I had …

Robin Hood movie
If a movie were intended to totally turn someone off of the old time legend of Robin Hood, Maid Marion, and the Merry Men, this 2010 version of Robin Hood would do it. The opening was depressing and vulgar, and it was anything from the bright and usually …
Old School movie
I finally got a chance to watch the movie Old School last night, when it was on TV. I’m not sure how much of the film got edited for television but I have to admit, it was better than I expected it to bed.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is, in my opinion, the best sea faring movie ever made. That is a very bold statement but that shows how much I thought of Master and Commander. I was shocked by how accurate the history was in …
