“Everbody’s Fine” (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “Everybody’s Fine” is not only filled with a great cast of actors and actresses that work well with one another and compliment each other’s characters, but was a heartwarming story that made for a great movie to enjoy.
This movie is about a widowed man (Robert …

The Ghost and the Darkness movie
My wife and I watched a movie yesterday that we are both huge fans of “The Ghost and the Darkness.”
When this movie first came out, I didn’t even know what it was. I figured it was a movie about a ghost. When I watched it the first time, however, …
Smallville Show
Who doesn’t love Smallville? I never was really much into it at first but started collecting it on DVD on a whim. I let the DVD’s sit on my shelf for awhile; my fiance went nuts when he saw them and bout the rest of the series for me. …
Julie and Julia movie
I literally had no interest in this movie when I saw it advertising to be released in theatres. In fact, I just assumed that it would be one of those movies that had one or two A-list actors in it that they promoted a lot, but would have no …
Movie “Going the Distance” (2010)
I am not a big fan of romantic comedies. I do watch a handful per year but they are not my favorite genre. I picked this one up from netflix mostly because I had sen every thing else in new releases. I was pleasantly surprised at …
The Dark Knight
The sequel to Batman Begins was a real shocker, it was very different than the first, and I will admit that it was one of the darkest movies that I have ever seen, but also one of the very best. I was so sad when I heard that Heath …
Doctor Strange, 2016 movie
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand with “Doctor Strange”. Not only does this movie introduce a new hero and defender of the Earth, but it even manages to expand the scope of the already epic franchise as a whole.
True, it is an origin story, but it …
Shoot ‘Em Up
Shoot ‘Em Up is the latest action flick starring Clive Owen and the beautiful Monica Bellucci. This movie is pure cinematic entertainment; if you’re looking for a complex plot or a realistic action flick, this is not it. Instead, Shoot ‘Em Up delivers over-the-top gun battles and fights that …
Mr. Woodcock
When I saw the previews for the movie Mr. Woodcock, I didn’t know what to expect. With Sean William Scott and Billy Bob Thornton, I figured it would be a lot of slapstick but not much substance. But, I have to admit, after watching it, I was impressed.
Scott plays …
The General’s Daughter (1999)
The General’s Daughter, directed by Simon West is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for graphic images relating to sexual violence including a strong rape scene, some perverse sexuality, nudity and language. The original release date was June 18, 1999 for United States audience. This movie …
When Harry met Sally movie
This cult-rated romantic comedy was the very first of a long series of similar films, all starring Meg Ryan as practically the same character. When Harry met Sally was directed by the talented Rob Reiner (even though he wasted his talent at several occasions in my opinion), and also …
Rock of Love with Bret Michaels
Rock of Love with Bret Michaels is now in it’s second season on VH1. I got hooked on the first season because of the complete crazy chicks that were competing for his “love.” It was like a guilty pleasure that I almost felt shame for watching. …
The Turn of the Screw 1999 movie

A Christmas Carol (1951)
The famous black-and-white 1951 British version of “A Christmas Carol” starring Alastair Sim is considered a classic and loved by many. Before I had watched it for the first time, I heard his movie praised so much that I thought I was going to love it as well. However, …
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 …
Blades of Glory
I am reviewing the movie, Blades of Glory, starring Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell plays a sex-addicted, skating champ named Chazz Michael Michaels. He is banned from competing in men’s skating when he gets into a fight with his nemesis, Jimmy MacElroy, who is a co-gold medallist. They are …
The 10th Kingdom miniseries/movie
Maybe I’m a little late in reviewing “The 10th Kingdom” miniseries, but seeing as it’s the ten year anniversary of when it aired on NBC, I figured I’d share my thoughts. I recently watched the DVD of “The 10th Kingdom”, and it’s the first time I’ve seen the movie …
Underworld
Vampires and werewolves have always made great movies. Other than Gone With The Wind, i think the original Dracula movie is among the most popular of all time. One thing vampire movies have never lacked is a smoking hot girl in them gracing the screen. Usually, the girls end …
Motion Picture “The Box”
Let me start this review by telling you a little about myself so you know where I am coming from. I have a netflix subscription and I watch a lot of movies, I mean a lot. I see most new releases when they come out on disc so …

Finding Nemo
There are very few movies out there that show you the importance of fatherhood. That’s why I think Finding Nemo is one of the better movies ever made.
Never mind the fact this is an animated film that is designed with children in mind. The underlying message is how difficult …
Napoleon Dynamite
Napoleon Dynamite is now in my top 10 funniest movies. Wow what is not to like about this movie! I mean Napoleon Dynamite looks so funny and goofy in those big glasses he wears! He also looks very funny when he walks. The way he talks is ever funny. I …
The Fugitive movie
Starring Harrison Ford as a doctor framed for the murder of his wife, and Tommy Lee Jones as the Federal Marshall with a die-hard devotion in catching his man. It is intense and action packed with unexpected twists and turns. It’s not really a thinking man’s movie as we …

The Wackness (R, 2008) film
“The Wackness” is one of those films that you will only like if you are a fan of drama that encompasses smarmy dialogue and very little action. This movie is set in the 90s around the time that the Notorious B.I.G. was really popular. This high school …
Batman v Superman Movie (spoilers)
I Just got back from Dawn of Justice and a lot of controversy has happened with reviews so I thought I’d give mine. I’m just a normal guy who is neither a DC or Marvel fanboy, I like comics.
So this movie is directed at people who read comics. Alot …
The Kingdom Movie
Not knowing anything about the movie The Kingdom, I added it to my Netflix queue. I figured since it starred Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, and Chris Copper it would probably be a decent movie. Right from the very beginning of the movie it was very action involved. The movie …

Ever since I discovered what I really want to do, the director Peter Jackson has become one of my favourites mostly for his detailed work and the way he perceives things; and hence I generally go out of my way to see movies he is associated with in …

While this is not an excellent horror movie, it can stand on it’s own two feet. The best time to watch this movie or any horror movie in fact is in the nighttime…all by yourself, no one else around to distract you and take away from the terror it …

Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem
I love movies. I love them. They are one my passions in life. “Alien” and “Aliens”, along with “Predator” are incredibly frightening, hardcore movies which I enjoy with every bit of fanboyish delight that they deserve. So it would make sense that if you take …
Death Proof
I loved Pulp Fiction, I loved Kill Bill, and I love grindhouse films. I hate Death Proof. I like what Quentin Tarantino was aiming for while making the movie; capturing all of the classic grindhouse car chase scenes, hot girls, and fighting, but overall, it could have been so …
Throne of Blood movie
Akira Kurosawa’s depiction of the classic Shakespeare play Macbeth moved to a japanese environment. Apparently Kurosawa was very clear on that fact that he wanted to make Throne of Blood a japanese film, and that the audience was supposed to feel the Shakespeare story was only in the background. …
Monsters Inc. movie
I had a copy of this at home however I didn’t bother watching it at first since I really don’t like the title Monsters Inc. I thought it was one of those boring gruesome monsters stories I often see on television. One time I had nothing to do except …

17 Again movie
I highly anticipated the comedy “17 Again”; I’m not a huge Zac Efron fan, but the movie looked cute. Unfortunately, it didn’t deliver.
I liked the main character’s best friend; he was a millionaire nerd whose brilliant mind earned him a ridiculous amount of wealth, but whose lack of social …
Final movie

Band of Outsiders: A Film by Jean-luc Godard (1964)
