My Favorite Movies

It's a redemption story at its best.

This is a classic.

Excellent movie! This is what a documentary should be like.

Zach Braff's directoral debut was refreshing and Natalie Portman shines.

Excellent!

If only all movies could be this creative and refreshing! Kate Winslet should have won an Oscar for this role.

This will awaken the faith like a child in you.

A true emotional powerhouse!!! I cried. I laughed. I enjoyed every bit of dialogue and savored every unique scene of NYC. Amanda Peet and Dermot Mulroney gave two amazing performances. This movie gives me hope in several ways: about filmmaking, life and the power of a good story. It's definitely one of my new favorites.

Love yourself and love others, and sometimes you gotta do it Madea's style. Gritball, anyone? And those wedding vows, utterly breath-taking!

Spiderman is the king of the superhero movies!

It's an inspiring movie with an equally inspiring soundtrack.

This is Josh Harnett's best role!

This movie takes your heart to all the right places. It's exactly what a good story should be. Ryan Merriman and Paula Garces offer two strong performances alongside an extremely well put together cast. Spin will leave your spirit soaring in a big sky of hope, healing and redemption.

This is the best formal dance scene outside of Beauty and the Beast!

Great things happen when Zhang Yimou and Ziyi Zhang unite together for a film. This one you can enjoy with the whole family.

Can Wolverine be any cooler?

Love is always bittersweet and visually stunning in a Zhang Yimou film!

This movie has permanently landed in my friends zone. It's laugh out loud funny!

You'll want the soundtrack for this.

All I can say is "whoa!"

It's beautiful, raw and you'll never look at Afghanistan in the same way.

Jessica Alba can dance!!!

It's like Dirty Dancing...but twice the cool.

Julie Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas shine! If only all teen dance movies could be this good!

How can you not fall in love with this movie and its awesome soundtrack?

I wish this would have came out when I was younger.

Kate Beckinsale makes the best kick-butt vampire!

Love and basketball never looked so good! This movie is a winner from start to finish. If you've ever liked the boy (or girl) next door then this movie is for you! Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps give great performances alongside a memorable sountrack and offer four strong quarters of heart-felt storytelling.

This is one sequel you can sink your teeth into and walk away satistified.

The Rock and Rosario Dawson in an action movie is just straight up fun.

One of the best movies ever!!

This movie made a Jim Caviezel fan out of me. It's a real heart-warming thriller.

One of the best movies ever! Jesus love is very real and extremely deep.

It's a real action packed emotional ride! You don't want to miss this one.

Amazing!

I can watch this movie over and over again.

If only all movies were this powerful and inspirational. Will Smith was amazing in this.

As a journalist, this is my kind of movie!!! It's one of the best bittersweert love story's out there and Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me" makes me cry everytime.

It's like a modern version of When Harry Met Sally. It's pretty good.

Good movie and a cool song by Sixpence None the Richer.

What a funny movie! It's one that you'll definitely watch over and over again.

Amanda Bynes will make you LOL!

This movie is as cool as a fruit punch water fountain! Get ready to drink up lots of laughs.

Adam Sandler had me at the opening credits!

Beautiful!

One of my favorite thrillers.

It's a stellar family series!

The best LOL movie of this decade.

It's a sweet blend of werewolf love and action.

I enhoyed this movie from beginning to end. You couldn't have picked two better lead actors.

This movie is full of beautiful colors, engaging characters and great acting.

A little offbeat, but good. Plus, there's a really cool carnival scene.

Perhaps the most visually-stunning martial arts movie ever!

Banderas and Hayek make more flames than a habachi.

You'll want the soundtrack to this!

This was so good! Matt Damon and Claire Daines were so cute together.

Ryder and Jolie compliment each other like cookies and cream.

A real Disney beauty!

This is one of my favorite movies! I wish there were more films about the Native American experience.

Adam Beach is such a great actor.

Rome never looked so good!

Colin Firth is the best Mr. Darcy.

This movie is so much better than Meangirls. Alexa Vega is one to watch.

A sweet romantic comedy where Garofalo's awkward beauty shines.

Garofalo makes Ireland look so fun!

Fans of Indiana Jones will enjoy this.

12 times the fun!!!

Schwarzenegger and Williams make a good team.

Vanessa Williams' dance moves are hotter than Kobe Bryant's slam dunks. Get ready to hold your breath in awe.

It's a romantic drama with real heart. Duchovny and Driver sparkle so much that I hope these two are paired together again.

I can't help but get teary-eyed when I watch this movie. It's full of heart, humor and real-life issues. Pfeiffer is the best ex-Marine.

It's completely goofy, silly and cheesy. But I like it!!!

This movie is so sweet!! I can watch it over and over again. Plus, it has a really cool retro soundtrack.

It's one of the best romantic comedies ever!!

What can I say...I'm a fan of Keira Knightley's work.

This movie is so much fun!!!

Classic in every sense of the word.

Two thumbs up!!

Denzel and Angelina gave two strong performances. They had great chemistry, which was a major plus considering the film's dark tone. I'm not a fan of crime movies but this was one thriller that I enjoyed every moment of the ride. Two thumbs way up!

This movie was so cute. If you're a fan of romantic comedies than Green Card will leave you smiling.

Awesome! I saw it twice and it was a great installment to the Spider-Man series. Tobey, James and Topher, oh my!!

This movie makes the journalist in me smile and cringe at the same time. It's one wild ride! Kate Hudson is just as dangerously cool as Patrick Fugit is awkardly sweet. Billy Crudup and Jason Lee also do a great job as glamorously messed up rock stars. I suggest this movie for those 14 and up. It would be a good conversation starter for parents to talk about fame, drugs and sex with their teens.

Excellent! It's one of those indie films bursting with creativity. Arin and Susan are two directors with promising careers. Fans of Garden State will enjoy this one.

Tyler Perry did it again! This movie is full of charm, laughs and inspiration. Gabrielle Union sparkles as the beautiful tough-as-nails lawyer and Idris Elba flexes his romantic comedy chops. I can't wait for Tyler Perry's next project!!!

It's like Notting Hill with an urban twist. This movie is full of sweet charm.

There's something captivating about Ashley Judd. Her performances are deep, easily engaging you to care about her character. This time Judd plays a Southern woman looking to turn her life around to walk the straight and narrow. It's good.

The story of Esther was brought to life with beautiful costumes and a break-out performance by Tiffany Dupont. She's definitely one to watch.

V is a smart sophisticated movie with amazing performances all around. This is exactly why Natalie Portman is my favorite actress. She's able to lose herself in character and draw you in. Two thumbs up!

Book of Secrets offers adventure, witty banter and a fresh approach to historical landmarks. It thrills and entertains in the spirit of Indiana Jones but stays true to its original tone. Justin Bartha and Helen Mirren are two treats as supporting actors. National Treasure makes PG movies look good again!!! I give it two thumbs way up.

The Game Plan is exactly what a family friendly movie should be. Sure, it has its cheesy moments but they're worth it. Plus, the little girl and The Rock have a great father daughter on-screen chemistry.

A visual masterpiece!!! Saawariya is full of vibrant colors, great costumes and beautiful dance numbers. The movie has a magical feeling to it, but be prepared for a bittersweet tale. Fans of Bollywood movies and House of Flying Daggers will enjoy this one. I give it two thumbs up!

A great made-for-TV movie! Phylicia Rashad should get an award for this role. She was dynamic in every scene. Audra McDonald has some great acting chops, she could be the next Kimberly Elise. Sanaa Lathan was endearing as the playful yet headstrong sister and her banter with Combs' character was enjoyable. But the biggest surprise was Sean Combs, I didn't think he could pull it off, but I stand corrected. He did a great job! He really lost himself in the character.

A truly romantic tale. Love, honor, duty...it's all there. The setting is beautiful. And Sophia Myles is a real emerging talent. It's the moments were words are left unsaid that make it special.

One of my favorite French films! Oliver Martinez and Juliette Binoche have great chemistry together. If only all storytelling could be this pleasant.

An excellent story about meeting someone special. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy give superb performances as two people who meet by chance in Europe.The script is clever and beautifully written. The conversations between the two characters are loaded full of wit and offer realism alongside plenty of charm. It captures those uber romantic feelings when you first meet someone you like and portrays them in a way we all wish they could be. I give it two thumbs way up!

I thought this movie was going to be stupid, but that was until I actually saw it. Now, I really like it! Jay Hernandez does a great job as a leading man. He makes you feel for his character's struggle. I hope he gets more starring roles! Dunst plays the role of crazy quite well and their chemistry is beautiful at times. I especially liked some of the unique shots they got of L.A. and the final car scene is just plain cute. I'll probably end up buying this one on DVD.

Claire Danes is such a great actress! It's a simple yet beautiful story about a Holocaust survivor and her American granddaughter who relate through stories of the past and the present. Every scene and flashback have a purpose. And every interaction is packed with emotionally charged character-driven drama. It's the subtle glances and quiet nuances that make this film so brilliant. If you're looking for typical Hollywood fanfare, you need not apply. But if you enjoy a smart, sensitive and gutsy movie then I Love You, I Love You Not will surely delight.

It's a bittersweet tale of adolescence and the magic of youth. The performances are good all around. Great leads and a great supporting cast. Originally, I went in thinking this movie wasn't going to be good but I was pleasantly surprised. I give it two thumbs up!

Awesome movie! It's not poignant or anything but the action keeps you engaged. Yes, it's violent but they sure make it look cool. Angelina Jolie is stunning, she easily commands every scene she's in. James McAvoy is a likeable lead but his character is extremely similar to Keanu Reeves' Mr. Anderson in The Matrix. Actually, the whole movie steals a page from The Matrix, but towards the middle it takes on a life of its own. It's so good I want to see it again!

It's a quirky story about two socially awkward people who fall in love. The New Zealand setting gives it a unique feel and there are several scenes that make you smile. Loren Horsley does a great job of making you root for her character to get the guy in the end. This film nicely blends romance with an artsy tone and tops it off with a great indie soundtrack. Fans of Napoleon Dynamite and Garden State will definitely enjoy this one!

Outlandishly fun! Kate Beckinsale leads this cast of enduring offbeat characters set in England's countryside. It's a truly charming and delightful movie full of laugh out loud catchphrases like "I saw something nasty in the woodshed" and "Robert Poste's child." Watch the movie and you'll know just how funny they are! I give it two thumbs up!

Excellent documentary! It introduces you to the world of quad rugby,

Even in war there can be great dignity. Joyeux Noel is a tragically beautiful story about the human spirit. I give it two thumbs way up!

This is why I watch movies! Once is full of beauty, heart, and amazing music. It's a Cinderella story for indie filmmakers everywhere.

It's a cute romantic comedy. A French film with real charm! If you enjoyed Notting Hill and Pretty Women then you'll probably like this one.

I'm a huge fan of this trilogy. It was a good to see a musical in the theater. And the music and dance numbers were a blast. It's not riveting but it's fun!

Great film!

An excellent indie film! Especially for those who enjoy indie music, awkward silences and quirky love stories.
