Rambo, First Blood Part 3 movie
I generally liked the Rambo films when they came out. The third installment, however, was one too many for a franchise that was otherwise really good.
In the third movie, Rambo is sent into Afghanistan to rescue his former commander from the Soviets. He ends up helping a terrorist group …
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 …
Galaxy Quest
Let me start off with saying Tim Allen isn’t my favorite actor and I was unsure about this movie when I heard he was in it, but after seeing it and laughing most of the way through, I thought he acted pretty well. I had to do a double …
After Dark Horror Fest: Crazy Eights
Crazy Eights is this weird little movie that I’m still not too sure about. I bought it because I had seen almost every other movie in the 2007 After Dark Horror Series except for this one. Looking at the back of the box and seeing the actors in the …

Monsters vs. Aliens
The new DreamWorks Animation and Paramount Picture flick Monsters vs. Aliens is one part movie and three parts awesome! So, okay, Animated Films for kids are always brilliant. But see, Monster Vs. Aliens may be one of the best, if not the best of …
300 Movie
I suuuuuper love this movie! The concept, the visuals, the sounds, the costumes, the actors, the abs… Although I already knew what was going to happen to them, I still loved how they came to that grand finale. And even if Leonidas was supposedly killed by a rain of …
Robin Hood
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Robin Hood. Everyone knows the story of Robin Hood, but what would happen if it was taken from a fox’s perspective? That’s what the whole Disney version does. Robin Hood is a fox and his friend, Big John, is a huge bear. The …
Cowboys And Aliens movie
Hopefully you have loving friends and/or family members who have already warned you to stay away from this epic abomination, but in case you don’t-or if you are actually an adult considering seeing a movie whose very title screams “AWFUL!” louder than an atomic blast-DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. …
Triangle, psychological horror film
Jess and a group of friends set sail on a yacht. There is this weird vibe Jess is having prior to getting on the yacht that would scare anyone from making the trip. Her suspicions seem to become a reality when the yacht hits a storm and they are …
Curse of the Komodo (2003) movie
This is a pretty good monster movie. It’s about some scientists on a tropical island that did experiments on a komodo until it grew to giant size. Of course, the scientists were working for the government. The plot of this picture is very similar to “Komodo vs Cobra”, with …
Secrets of an Actress movie
I actually enjoyed the opening credits of 1938’s Secrets of an Actress movie, which began by having a woman’s hand unlocking and opening a diary. She turns each page of the diary until the credits reach the end. It was different and unique.
The story itself is one …
Children fo Men movie
It was real tough to decide whether to give this movie a 10 or a 9… I hesitate to put it up there with the best movies of all time, but I feel the urge. Children of Men is a truly great film. I think it is fairly groundbreaking …
Ratatouille (2007 film)
The 2007 children’s animation movie “Ratatouille” is a fun family film that kept me entertained and laughing as I watched a rat long to be a chef, and work with a man in France to not only further the humans career, but be able to cook delicious foods that …
Movie Don’t Look Now
I love suspense and horror, and I adore Julie Christie. What a gorgeous actress she was! If you also enjoy this combination, you must watch Don’t Look Now. Don’t Look Now is an older film, from the 1970s, but it will not disappoint you. Julie Christie plays Laura, and …
Interstellar - Movie (2014)
I had the privilege of seeing Interstellar in theatres yesterday. I had high expectations for the film, given that Christopher Nolan is the director. I was not disappointed, I was actually amazed. Interstellar had a great story and the visuals were a treat. I’m glad I had the chance to …
Ratatouille, Brad Bird Movie
For us who is not disgusted to see an animal that dirty rat and grubby. However, this does not apply to Remy, an animal which lived on the streets of Paris, France. Unlike with other mice, rats, including his father and sister, Emile, Remy likes the cleanliness of abstinence, …
Batman & Robin movie
Quite honestly, I have yet to see any of the Batman movies, though I’ve seen lots of clips and stories on filming them throughout the years. I remember back in the era when this Batman & Robin movie was filmed. There were a number of media segments …
Why Did I get Married Movie
My wife has wanted to watch Why Did I get Married ever since it first came out. But, I have avoided doing that because I figured it would be just another man-bashing chick flick.
Well, she finally got an opportunity to watch it yesterday and, guess what, I was right. …
12 Angry Men movie
The original 12 Angry Men is a movie I can, and have, watched over and over again. It’s a contained movie, all about the 12 men who are on the jury for a youth accused of murdering his father. We don’t see the trial. We see …
Battlefield Earth movie
A film that is supposed to be based on a classic science fiction novel by L. Ron Hubbard, however the story is changed that much it’s fair to question the filmmaker’s intentions. John Travolta appears in his perhaps not proudest moment ever, as the leader of an alien species …
Movie Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor is a great war movie with Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, and Josh Hartnett playing the pivotal roles. The movie is based on the attack on Pearl Harbor and is very well directed. Though the movie is very long in duration, it doesn’t seem an obstacle for a …
Deja Vu DVD Movie
I am not sure if there is a Deja vu, in real life, or that time could be traced back to where we wanted things not to happen. This is the case for the movie Deja vu, which stars my favorite actor, Denzel Washington.
This movie is about Denzel, …
Dogtooth (2009 film)
“Dogtooth” is a masterpiece of the weird. This Greek art house film, a winner at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009, simply kept me glued to the screen for about one hour and a half and left me with a million questions.
I found the atmosphere of the film …
Deadly Matrimony - Part 1 movie
From 1992, Brian Dennehy stars in Deadly Matrimony in which a woman is killed, prompting Dennehy’s character to reflect back to three years earlier.
The concept behind this movie is nothing new. It’s the successful businessman — handsome, confident, charming — who meets the beautiful and intelligent woman who …

The Sound Of Music movie
Here is another favorite film of mine and of many others I know. Everyone must have seen the wild actics of this strange family and the new comer to the household. I even got me a whistle. “The hills are alive” hmmm, are they really, “with the sound of …
Legally Blonde 1
Legally Blonde is all about a clumsy-in-love woman named Elle Woods who did everything against all odds to prove that she’s got both beauty and brains. I kinda love this movie although it gets a little corny sometimes with some scenes about her crying over her boyfriend who already …
Sex in The City (The Movie)
I recently saw Sex in The City (The Movie), like i’m sure most of you women and some men have already dashed to the nearest theatre to see. I say most women and some men, based on my trip to the movies and the observations I made while …
American Dreamz
I believe that the movie “American Dreamz” represent the most bizarre role for both actors, Hugh Grant and Mandy Moore. We see both there two actors in an unlovable role which is definitely something new because we are so used in seeing them in romantic movies. It is also …
Star Trek Generations: Love and Hated it
Ok. I just saw Star Trek Generations on Cable last night and I was telling my husband how much I love and hate the movie. I’m a big Star Trek fan, hands down. I’ve seen all of the orginal Star Trek movies and Next Generations movies hundreds of time, …
The Glass Bottom Boat
There’s a lot of memorable aspects to The Glass Bottom Boat, most notable of which is its star, Doris Day. Some of the time, she’s a mermaid for her father, who gives a tour of Catalina Island waters with his glass bottom boat, hence the name. Day …
The Toll Collector (2003) Animation
‘The Toll Collector’ is an animation short, really short actually at only 5 minutes. But it is 5 minutes of haunting, poignant beauty and it has stayed on my mind since I watched it. This is a visually dark claymation, with the pallid, ill-looking white faces of …
A League of their own
Years ago we my son and I were at the beach in Ocean City and we became bored. We decided to get out of the hot sun and go see a movie. We saw a film called a League of Their Own, starring Tom Hanks, one of …
The Cell movie
This is probably one of the most imaginative and daring films to come along in years. Granted, the basic plot has been done over and over before (finding a serial killer), but in this case, the road toward getting from point A to point Z is what matters. …
Dave Chappelle: Killin’ Them Softly
Comedian Dave Chappelle performs his stand up routine in his hometown of Washington D.C. Most people know Chappelle from his popular television show called “Chappelle’s Show.” This DVD is an one full hour of pure gold. His stand up routine is the funniest that I have ever seen.
His stand …
Eight Legged Freaks
I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks again last night because I hadn’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember a whole lot about it.
Now I remember, this is a better film than you would think it is.
The movie is essentially a spoof of those …
Haunted Echoes movie 2008
I rented Haunted Echoes because I love a good ghost story, and I noticed that Sean Young starred in it, a favorite actress from Blade Runner in the early 80’s that I don’t think I have seen too often in anything since. She is still lovely. This film was …
The exterminating angel movie
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is probably the one film most people remember the director Luis Bunuel for, but actually, The exterminating angel tells a very similar story and was made about ten years earlier by Bunuel. It tells the story of a group of rich people who …

A Series of Unfortunate Events the Movie
I have read the entire series of the Series of Unfortunate Events books, and have a strange love for them. They are filled with misfortune and woe, but at the same time a mystery, suspense, and little joys and happiness that make it absolutely fantastic. The movie was—¦well—¦a disaster. …
Stephen King’s Rose Red
Watching a Stephen King movie or television show is always a little difficult. The man has a serious talent when it comes to spinning tales that keep the reader riveted and turning the pages. However when those tales hit the big or little screen there seems to …
