Movie Valley

Hello and welcome to Movie Valley, a place where movies are viewed and shared. Since I see a movie at least once a week, I thought I'd compile my thoughts into reviews of the movies I see. The most recently viewed movie is at the top of the list.

Last Updated: 3/5/2014

Next Movies on the List:

  • Non-Stop starring: Liam Neeson, Julianne Moore
  • Mr. Peabody & Sherman
  • Grand Budapest Hotel starring: Ralph Fiennes
  • Muppets Most Wanted starring: Tina Fey, Ty Burrell, Tom Hiddleston

    Go to to view the entire list of movies I've seen, plus my picks for top best and worst movies of 2007 (and 2006)!
