  This quirky little movie stars one of my favorite actresses, Natasha Gregson Wagner. There is something insipid and coy about the roles she
  tends to play.
  And her stuffy, rebellious role of “Violet” in this movie is no different.
  This film is sort of a cat and mouse, and “who’s on fifth” kind of movie.
  The action is a bit loopy and unrealistic.
  But you get the ...
- feeling that it’s supposed to be.
  There are a few twists and turns.
  I actually will admit that I liked
  the movie better the first time around.
  In retrospect, it seems a little “watery” for a drama, and not funny enough to be a comedy.

Stranger than Fiction

When we rented the movie Stranger than Fiction, we expected to get a great comedy. After all, you can't go wrong with Will Ferrell. Unfortunately, in this case, we did. Stranger than Fiction isn't a bad movie, in fact it was pretty good. But, it definitely wasn't as funny as ...

Stranger Than Fiction

The movie Stranger Than Fiction had an awesome trailor at the movie theater and seemed so diffrent from most any other movie I had seen. So I rented it on demand yesterday. It was a huge disappointment! The movie is very slow paced and nothing exciting really happens it ...

Movie Stranger than Fiction

Had a chance to watch "Stranger than fiction", a great movie that has both comedy and drama. The plot is extremely catchy as Will Ferrell, an IRS agent, is living a life narrated by an author played by Emma Thompson. A typical IRS agent, counting his actions in numbers, ...

Pulp Fiction movie

When Pulp Fiction was released, I had not seen a good movie like this in a while. Pulp Fiction held my attention from the moment the movie started and I waited with my breath held to see what would happen next until the end of the movie. John Travolta ...

Perfect Stranger

I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by the newly released film "Perfect Stranger" starring Halle Berry and Bruce Willis. The story of the film is completely enthralling with twists and turns all over the place. It left me unable to move, just waiting for the next sequence of ...

Perfect Stranger (R, 2007) movie

It took me a while to get around to seeing Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry. When I saw the previews, I immediately thought there would be gratuitous nudity or sex scenes, like in Monster's Ball, or other films featuring the pretty actress. But this one was ...

When A Stranger Calls-Original Version

The original version of When A Stranger Calls is one that stuck in my head for a number of years. I always thought it was a really great movie and it wasn't until later that I learned it was made for television. However when I saw it recently, I ...

Eyes of a Stranger

Eyes of a Stranger is a Richard Dean Anderson film from 1992 that I've never seen, most likely because I'm really not into murder mysteries that are scary all that much, and that's what this film is suppose to be. Since someone gifted me with this recently, it ...

Pulp Fiction (1994)

There is no other movie like Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction." It is definitely at the top of my favorites list. This movie is chocked full of best talent that Hollywood has to offer. With big names like Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Uma Thurman and ...

When A Stranger Calls (2006) movie

When a Stranger Calls is a suspense thriller that really was a waste of time. Not even scary in the least and everyone knows what exactly is going to happen. The basis of this story is incredibly simple. There is a high school girl who is babysitting for a ...

The Day the Earth Stood Still movie

Many current science fiction movies rely heavily on special effects and don't always have the best scripts. Those movie producers should do more research into The Day the Earth Stood Still. The movie doesn't have a lot of special effects, even by 1950s standards but is still a memorable science ...
