After three years from interpreting the role of Benjamin Franklin Gates, Nicholas Cage returns in this role with the sequel “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”. I believe that this role for Cage represents what Indiana Jones was and still is for Harrison Ford.
“National Treasure: Book of Secrets” has …

What’s up with horror or thriller movies with numbers…? But the idea works for me. In 1408, I was scared out of my mind, truly. I watched it on DVD pretty recently and luckily my relatives were around.
The 3 of us, that is. We …

The Other Sister is a movie that my family loves. The Other Sister is the story of a mentally challenged young woman who is way under her mother’s thumbs, yes both of them! Her mother, played so well by Diane Keaton, wants to protect Carla, but is really stifling …

Last weekend a friend of my husband asked us out to see The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader. I was a big time enthusiast of the books as a child. Often I found myself peering into the back of my closet just hoping and praying that an …

Some films are mistakenly advertised as fantasy movies - and you expect to watch these movies with that fairytale-ish ending you thought you deserved but instead you end up crying your heart out because of just how sad they are. I remember watching a 2007 film called Bridge to Terabithia …

This company certainly knows how to work you over and obtain maximum revenue at consumer loss! A few years ago they had a $19.99 plan that allowed 3 discs at a time with UNLIMITED in store exchanges. They since changed that plan to allow only FIVE exchanges per month …

“United 93″ is a movie about 9/11. Depend on what is left in the cockpit’s tape, the editor tried as hard as he could to put what really happened in United 93 into the screen. Passengers are stranger to each other when they get into the plane. They stand …

I went to see Spider Man 3 last weekend with some friends. I guess I have to say first off that I’m not a huge fan of Spider Man, but like it well enough to see the movies. I liked the second movie better than the first, but I …

One movie that did not get the due attention it rightfully deserved was Kalifornia. Yes, it is spelled with the letter “K”. Kalifornia will always have a spot in my must see section of my movies in my home because it was a dynamic thrill ride from start to …

The Devil Wears Prada is not only very entertaining, both for those that are interested in the fashion industry and for those who are not, but it is also an eye opening and touching movie that does force one to take a look at his/her own life and the …

“Braveheart,” a 1995 film directed by Mel Gibson, is probably my favorite movie. It is certainly in my all-time top five. I doubt there are many people who have not watched this movie, but if you are one of those people, I would recommend renting it immediately. …

The turn of the millenium brought in some great movies, and some not so great movies. It followed the trend of the late nineties by introducing more and more comic book heroes to the ranks of the silver screen. One of my favorite comic books to ever go the …

This movie was definitely one of those that I will have to watch twice to figure out where they got one over on me. I enjoyed the movie and was really happy to see Marc Blucas, the former Riley on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the ending was …

This is one of the natural horror (creature) movies in the “Maneater Series”. This particular one is about a man-eating tiger. I love these sorts of movies and try to watch every one that I can find. This is one of the good ones, too. It has a solid …

I’ve been hearing about the movie “We Need to Talk about Kevin” for some months now, and despite watching the trailer and feeling like I had to watch it, I never actually got a chance to until very recently. The result of this was that I was very impressed …

Gary Cooper plays a farmer who against his will is sent to take part in World War I. While there he becomes a war hero, despite his former pacifism sympathies.
This is one of the clearest examples of pure american propaganda. The whole point of the film is to proclaim …

The film experience of Skyfall, I think is totally vigorous; and energizing for the audience member. It was for me: that is certain. I believe: Daniel Craig in the role of Bond is a Bond character that continues to grow on you–for certain. At first …

I was flipping through the cable channels last night and I ran across a movie that I had not seen in a long time. It was called Mrs Winterbourne and it starred Brandon Fraser, Ricki Lake.

I didn’t quite know what to expect with this one. Cate Blanchett is one of my favorite actresses, capable of assuming all sorts of roles. Her role as a pedophile (essentially), teacher having an affair with one of her students was rather shocking. But …

The beginning of the story finds the IMF top agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) in a prison in Moscow and a couple of other IMF agents are in …

You won’t see Hollywood make this type of a movie today, oh no. It’s got “religion” in it, you see, the characters go to church and read their Bible, and all that is taken seriously, no one makes fun of them for it. God-fearing people are actually presented as …

Movies are a big part of my life and we, my son, my husband and I watch movies all the time. The other day we saw an old movie with Dustin Hoffman in it, the movies title was Tootsie.
In this movie was made in 1982 and Dustin …

The Libertine was a movie that came out last year starring Johnny Depp. The movie takes place during the 17th century and Johnny Depp
plays a poet whom the movie is built around. It seems as if there is no point to the movie as it just follows Johnny Depp’s …

Here is yet another movie that follows people with multiple cameras and angles—”and multiple story lines. If you like movies that have interesting and realistic characters, then this is the film for you. There are several different “vignettes” if you will—”only they are filmed from the perspective …

Let’s see, Tim Burton directing and Johnny Depp starring. There is absolutely no way the movie Alice in Wonderland would suck.
Wow was I wrong about that.
I didn’t see this movie in the theater for a few reasons and, after seeing it this past weekend, I honestly am glad I …

Snakes on a Plane… The title pretty much sums it up: that’s what the movie is about, snakes on a plane biting and killing people. There is no point, no deeper meaning, just that. Of course, there is some basic plot, explaining how hundreds of snakes got on an …

I sat down to watch the movie The Little Polar Bear with my daughter last night and, I’ll admit it, I really wasn’t expecting it to be very good. But, after seeing it, I will say it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
