The Extra Man movie 2010
At one point I wondered why there aren’t more eccentric characters in one film. The answer is that they not occur. It seems that you can not cram a young English teacher with bizarre sexual inclinations, an old bearded playwright gigolo and a mechanic with a high voice who …
The Giver (science fiction movie)
I actually saw the trailer for the movie “The Giver” by accident, but somehow I forgot about it, because a few other things that were released around the same period of time seemed to overshadow it. However, by the time that it got on Blu-ray, I remembered enough about it …
The movie Mulan

2001: A Space Odyssey movie
Whenever I read reviews about this Stanley Kubiak film, I keep hearing about how it’s a classic and how it changed the movie industry.

The Book of Eli (2010) movie
I’m a big fan of any movie with Denzel Washington in it and this one lived up to what I expected exactly.
The story is somewhat complicated but contains simplicities in it. Eli (Washington) is the keeper of a very wanted book which turns out to be a copy …
Shrek the Third
In my opinion, Shrek the Third is the best movie of the Shrek movies. I liked Shrek 1 and Shrek 2 even more than 1 because of the addition of Puss in Boots. Shrek 3 I like even more than Shrek 2; that isn’t saying a whole …
The Abyss

Wanted : Angelina Jolie
The movie wanted is fantastic. It’s got a very nice idea of having assassins with supernatural abilities to be able to focus and see from a different perspective. The story is fast paced and unfolds rapidly before your eyes. It will lead you to believe something but then another …
Open Range (2003)
Once again, Kevin Costner has delivered unto us, the viewing public, another almost three hour feature length film based in the days of the old west. I guess it is safe to say that he loves this time period and he enjoys getting all submerged in a world where …
The Cutting Edge Movie

Beauty and The Beast
The “Beauty and The Beast” I am reviewing is the TV series that ran in 1987-1990, not the Disney animation. Those who have watched the series know that it has nothing to do with the classic fairytale: the story is set in modern day New York. Catherine, a beautiful …

Disney’s Johnny Appleseed
The first time I saw this Disney short movie, was in elementary school, in the cafeteria, where many a film was shown. This was the most memorable of those films.

Avatar 3D
Avatar 3D is in my opinion one of the best science-fiction movies ever made. With stunning graphical detail, excellent actors and a well-thought-out plot, Avatar 3D should definitely win its share of awards and collect millions at the box office.
The “avatars” in the movie, blue creatures with …

Shutter (R, 2004) movie
I was under the impression that this film was very much like all the other PG-13 “Ringu” type films. In many ways it most certainly is. However, this film (which I believe takes place in Thailand) was quite suspenseful and intriguing. The movie takes off …
Chef-2014, Drama, Comedy Movie
The main word I can say subsequent to watching this is “Exceptional”. Jon Favreau is only a stickler in each field. He has written this movie, directed it and afterward nailed it as the lead performing artist. Subsequent to Iron Man 1 and 2, he proceeds with his splendid work. …
Avatar - 2009 Movie
I really enjoyed this movie. I found Avatar to definitely be worth the price of admission (we saw it in IMAX 3-d, so it cost more than the usual steep movie price).
I know that the story was rather slim - in fact, everyone knew what was going to happen …
