Rogue movie
I am a fan of monster stories that involve big fish or crocodiles. I was a teenager when Jaws first hit our movie screens and I still think that this kind of movie can be one of the scariest and dare I say it - entertaining of all the …
The Weather Underground documentary
„The Weather Underground” is a documentary about one of the most radical organization in the history of the USA. The film not only attempts to tell the story of the group, but also skillfuly portrays the atmosphere of the late sixties the time of political upheaval, violence …
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
OK, maybe it’s because I’ve never read the comic book but this is probably the tenth time I’ve tried to watch the movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and, try as I might, I just can’t seem to get through the entire movie.
I’m sure the concept of a crime fighting …

Blade (movie)
I love vampire movies but will also admit that most of them are like every other one I’ve ever seen. That’s why I’m a big fan of the movie Blade.
Like most vampire films, Blade focuses on a vampire hunter. Only, this is one of the very few vampire hunters …
The Prince & Me
When the Prince & Me came out on DVD, I avoided it. But, when it showed up on cable, my wife forced me to watch it. What a cheesy film.
I’m sorry but how many movies can you possibly make about a rich spoiled brat from another country who falls …
Wall-E
I took my family to see Wall-E. We all loved it the robots are so likable and cute. My 5 year old daughter squeals every time she hears the name Wall-E. I had to laugh when I saw the predicted future and I really think it will be like …
The Good Mother (movie)
One of my guilty pleasures is watching some of the more modern Lifetime movies, especially if I think that they have fairly interesting plots and fairly tolerable acting. These can be a little hard to find especially in a sea of low budget movies that Lifetime seems to bring. …

Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
There are so many ways this movie could be reviewed. The best way, would be to really pin point everything. When you’re landed with a great movie to critic it can be difficult but with enough thought and effort put into it negative aspects can in fact be found, …

Cast:
Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees), Lexa Doig (Rowan), Lisa Ryder (Kay-Em 14), Jonathan Potts (Prof Lowe), Melyssa Ade (Janessa), Peter Mensah (Sgt Brodski)
The only thing I like about this show is Jason Voorhees in the year 2445. This is quite refreshing they could not kill him off …
The Others Movie
I really liked this movie, and not only me but a lot of my friends did! This movie is so twisted and so shocking at one part and it features Nicole Kidman as a single mother of 2 who is very meticulous and strict because she has 2 photosensitive …
GI Joe
We finally got around to watching the new GI Joe movie last night and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. The previews looked interesting but the movie looked like it would have way too much going on at once and would be confusing.
It turned out to be a …
The Marine
This film start john Sena who is a very famous wrestler. The story is about his wife being kidnapped by robbers and john Sena trying to save her. This movie is meant to be an action movie but it doesn’t have any thrilling elements. The stunts are quite ordinary …
Armageddon
Man, how much cooler can you get? The 1999 movie, Armageddon, is one of my all time favorites. I love Bruce Willis. And for once, he’s not really in his Die Hard McClane character. He’s still a tough as nails oil driller named Harry Stamper who is charged with …

Match Point (R, 2005) movie
Match Point is not like you typical Woody Allen film. Usually his movies are filled with intelligent snarky humor and strange situations. This movie, while filmed in a bright and airy way, was really quite dark. What I liked in particular was my ability …
Iron Man (2008)
I always love to watch Marvel superhero movies, like Fantastic 4, Spiderman, Hulk etc, but this one is the best Marvel superhero movie I ever seen.

Oz the Great and Powerful (2013 movie)
Oz The Great and Powerful tries so hard to be epic. It has a very entertaining feeling. There are aspects of the movie that are brilliant and there were things that I thought needed some work. Sometimes I thought the pacing of the film was a little off and …
Elizabethtown the movie
Orlando Bloom may be a great character actor and eye candy for women every where but, as a leading actor, he leaves a lot to be desired.
The movie Elizabethtown had great intentions and could have been a great love story. But, in my opinion, it fell flat. Kirsten Dunst …

Movie The Sixth Sense

That’s because I heard rave reviews coming from my friend and even my neurotic boyfriend loves it too. And at last I found it. The movie is fantastic and …
Robin Hood:Men in Tights
One of Mel Brooks’ many parodies of famous folklore. No one can deny that this movie is comedy at its best. You will be laughing your socks off from start to finish and even after it’s all said and done. Cary Elwes is a true comedian and its due …

Sin City (2005)
The 2005 film, Sin City, is based on the graphic novels of Frank Miller who also co-directed along with Robert Rodriguez. I can imagine that anyone who is a fan of such graphic novels will appreciate this film a lot more than I did, although I did find …
Music and Lyrics
For people who grew up in the 80’s, much of the subtle humor in the recent movie, “Music and Lyrics” is not as subtle as it is obvious and in your face. From the incredibly cheesy music videos, to the fanatical gyrations of a has-been, this movie made me …
The Abyss
It’s an oldie but a goodie, in my book. The Abyss, 1989, stars Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Ed Harris as part of a civilian diving team hired by the military to search for a lost submarin carrying nuclear warheads. When the team, both civilian and military, are disconnected from …
Stepbrothers (Movie)
I really don’t like Will Ferrell, but my sister-in-law and brothers told me this movie was good and funny, and seeing as I didn’t have anything to do anyway on a rainy day, I watched this movie.
The movie is all about 2 grown-up adults who thinks they’re still young …

Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Sometimes, as you get older, movies you liked as a teenager or even as a young adult suddenly start seeming really stupid. I think that might have been the case with the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
The interesting thing about Fast Times is I used to think of …
Dracula Untold (horror movie)
The last movie that I watched at the cinema was “Dracula Untold”, because at the time there was nothing else that interested me showing. I believed that I was taking quite a big risk seeing it too since there were so many bad reviews written about it on the internet, …
The Rival movie
Once again, I found myself watching a movie on the Lifetime movie network last night and found myself enjoying it.

My Name is Bruce movie
When my wife and I sat down to watch the movie My Name is Bruce Saturday afternoon, I wasn’t really expecting much of it. I figured a film about Bruce Campbell playing himself and fighting real monsters would end up being a bit too corny and farfetched for me.
But, …
Grumpy Old Men movie
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are two of Hollywood’s finest. They are great performers who gave the world decades of wonderful performances. One of those performances was in the legendary The Odd Couple. After that, they often worked together, and each movie was a gem. This …

Featuring the comedic talents of Gene Wilder, Dom DeLuise, and Gilda Radner, this isn’t a film you want to have missed, if you like funny. This is an older film, made around 20 years ago or so, in 1986. But, it’s still worth looking for, and/or watching …
