Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
Lord Of The Ring: The Two Towers (hereafter “Two Towers”) is the second movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I guess if there is a weak link in the trilogy, this would be the movie, simply because the story neither starts nor ends in this …
American Wedding
I just watched this last night even though I have seen it before, it still made me laugh. It lives up to the name of American pie and American pie 2. It’s funny throughout the whole movie. It also has the same type of humor of American Pie. Most …

I remember having watched this movie twice. There’s a lot of weird stuff going in this movie since the setting is a farflung and unrecognized island that is forever covered by clouds from the sailors. Yes the giant ants, centipedes, and other types of bugs even leeches …
Game Plan movie
Even though I do think he’s a bit overrated, I’ve always liked watching former pro wrestler The Rock in movies.
While his newest movie, Game Plan is far from being unique, I will admit he pulled it off.

Swordfish
Swordfish is one of the cooler action movies of the last decade despite a couple setbacks. One of it’s producers worked on the Matrix, so it’s got a similar kind of wild, high-tech, fast-paced feel. Now it’s definitely not on the same scale, but it isn’t a rip-off either. …
The Wild Thornberrys movie

30 Days of Night (R, 2007) movie

Silent Hill (2006)
Why oh why oh why must Hollywood feel the need to make games into movies? Are they so desperate that they can’t find a decent writer, or novel to base a good movie on, or maybe they lack thinking outside the box. Was the game that great that it …

Mommy (2014 Canadian Drama Film)
Most often than not, small films like this one gets buried in a year full of blockbusters. Which is probably the reason why I was not able to watch this the year it was released. Admittedly, 3 years ago, I was not too much of a fan of smaller movies. …

Evita movie
I was amazed that I enjoyed Evita starring Madonna so much. I’m not a Madonna fan, which isn’t to say that I don’t recognize her talent. There are times when I hear her sing when I go, ‘whoa, she really *can* sing’ but then there are times …

Hot Pursuit (comedy movie)

DVD: Hidden Places
I enjoyed watching “Hidden Places” very much. Made for television by Hallmark Entertainment, the a wholesome, family-oriented film comfortably entertains without being overly sweet. The family owns an orange grove in California but faces the threat of foreclosure by the bank. If this sounds familiar, it should because it …
Jack and the Beanstalk movie
I had been a while since I’ve watched the Abbott and Costello movie “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Since I wanted to introduce my daughter to it, I figured I would watch it with her last night.

Even when compared to movies …

Enter The Dragon Classic Marshial Arts Movie Starring Bruce Lee
As time goes by and the inevitable process of growing up takes its course, certain things that I used to love back when I was smaller seem quite stupid now, especially some of the things I enjoyed like movies and television shows. The acting seems really bad, along with …
