I liked Shrek the original. I really liked how different it was as far as a animated film. I thought that Donkey was hilarious and I really loved Fiona. She was such a strong female character. So when I saw that there was going to be a sequel I …

I got a longer lunch today than normal (to avoid working overtime) and ended up being able to watch a movie on TV. I came across the film the Comebacks, which I had seen before but, since I couldn’t remember much about it, couldn’t remember if I liked it …

Hollywood has done it again. They’ve taken a well-known movie and tried to update it with flashy costumes (literally in the case of Zeus) and an overabundance of CGI. Clash of the Titans is a remake of the 1981 film by the same name, although it lacks many of …

When I first saw the movie “Tropic Thunder” advertising, all I could think about was that it was not going to be funny because the actor and comedian “Jack Black” was in it. I normally have a problem with that actor as I think he is not a very …

I can’t really figure out why this movie was made. Dragonball’s popularity peaked years ago and the concept itself is something that flat out just doesn’t transition well to live action.
Having been DBZ fans in high school, my roommate and I decided to check it out. …

I am reviewing the Disney movie, Pocahontas. Back in the early nineties, there were a lot of good Disney movies being made. Pocahontas was one of them. Everyone knows the story of Pocahontas. A group of sailors under the command of Ratcliffe enter the land of the natives and …

I looked forward to watching “The Great Debaters” because I hoped to pick up some pointers on how to argue more persuasively. I thought it would be like the movie, “Akeelah and the Bee”, which involves the quest of a young girl to win the national spelling bee. After …

A Reason To Believe is the tired story of a college student who gets raped. Charlotte is in college, has a boyfriend and everything seems to be just peachy. I will say that I love Allison Smith in this Lifetime chick flick, and she will not disappoint you because …

‘Gone Girl’ (mystery thriller) is a refreshing dose of mystery that doesn’t follow the same path that many mysteries have taken before. It’s a movie that deals with the unexpected and is just as good as the book it was based on (Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn). I couldn’t understand …

I was a little surprised by how much I actually liked this film. I really thought that Robert Downey, Jr. in “black-face” would cause some issues for the director, producer, and actors. But it seems that perhaps people are seeing about this film what I …

A thriller in an 1940s environment where Denzel Washington plays a freelancing detective with a constant bad luck.
An interesting film stylistically as it recreates the moods of old noir films in color. Compared to LA Confidential, which is similar too this one but in black and white, Devil in …

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the best horror movies of all time. I still remember the first time I saw the movie and it literally scared me to death. I’ve seen it many times since then and it still manages to completely disturb me. I think …

Misery is a movie I will never forget, and that will always scare me. The funny thing about this movie is that it is not about a demon monster, or evil ghosts. It’s not about vampires or aliens either. No the villian in this movie is a woman. But not …

The story about four American armies on duty in Iraq. Cutoff from the last period of their duty to brought medical equipment to one of village in Iraq was followed by many tragic cases. Mental conflict experienced after returns to US is not easy to be passed. It is …

“A Guy Thing” is definitely the movie that made the actor, Jason Lee be noticed to the general public. I personally watched him act in another movie “Kissing a Fool” and he was great, however I prefer best his interpretation of Paul Morse in the hilarious comedy “A Guy …

Royce returns in UFC II to win his second tournament and, although some of the matches are quite good such as Royce vs Pat Smith, this event will be forever known for an overmatched Fred Ettish getting a horrible, one sided beating at the hands of Johnny Rhodes.
Actually, there …

Alice In Wonderland, Tim Burton’s remake of the classic Disney film actually goes in quite a different direction than what I expected. Obviously with Burton, there’s going to be quite a few twists to the movie and overall sort of a dark or gothic type mood to it and …

If there is any war movie I love watching over and over again, it is the 300 staring Gerard Butler as King Leonidas. The 300 is the story of the Spartans battling the Persian army led by the God-King Xerxes.

It’s a short and simple story chronicling the lives of four survivors in a zombie infested America. Quite a shallow plot, but extremely funny. Its comedic factor is refreshing because it isn’t lewd or too slapstick.
Columbus played by Jesse Eisenberg was funny when he was alone, giving the …

Back with a blast is the third and final installment of the Mighty Ducks trilogy. It is an amazing family movie. I liked it just as much as the other Mighty Ducks movies. The Mighty Ducks team have been invited to play high school hockey on scholarship at Eden …

To kind of quote Indiana Jones, now we’re getting nasty. This is the first of the Potter stories to have someone killed, giving us a taste of what’s to come, priming us, if you will. The atmosphere of Goblet of Fire is decidedly darker. The moods of the characters …

Robin Hood came out surrounded by buzz that it was going to be Gladiator 2. I’m guessing this is because Ridley Scott directed and Russel Crowe starred, just like in Gladiator. But there is very little the same about the two movies. Sure they both follow …

I am also a twilight fan and came to love the book, the characters and the movie itself. I never miss to watch each of its episodes when it came out. The best Twilight Series that I’m so into is the Eclipse.
I think among the three episodes the last …

I must admit that I enjoy watching the director, Nora Ephron movies. She gave us great romantic comedies, such “When Harry meet Sally”, “Sleepless in Seattle” and “You Have Got Mail”. I feel that she lost her magic touch in this movie and it is no wonder that the …

What can be said about Rat Race other than very hilarious. It had to be with actors/actresses like John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Lovitz, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Seth Green. What is with the men in the board-room, they seem to bet on any and everything…I guess …

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus was one very interesting movie for several reasons. One, the story line is unique, but complex and hard to follow, requiring more than just casual attention. Heath Ledger starred in this film—“ and died during the production. Rather than scrap the …

Winner of six Academy Awards, this Rob Marshall masterpiece is just that, a masterpiece. At the height of Chicago’s jazz world, and all that goes with it, crime has become an art-form, or so says the slick Billy Flinn (Richard Gere). Crime has become sensationalized, and murder is no …

The beginning of Memento did little to impress me. It was confusing and I was concerned from the start that it just wasn’t going to be my kind of movie. The film stars Guy Pearce as Leonard, who is suffering from short-term memory loss and is after …

When I learned that the funny trio of Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. was realized, I couldn’t wait to see the film. Tropic Thunder is a morbid fascination with contemporary warfare. It does not present jokes in the obvious but it shoves a jokey momentum …

I am a big fan of small movies, and I just watched another great one on DVD, called “Where God Left his Shoes.” The actors in it are relative unknowns, at least to me, and this movie received very little attention. The plot is quite a heart-wrenching story of …
