Kids (NR, 1995) movie
There is a reason why this DVD is not rated. It is because the sex and adult situations in this film are so intense that it had to be rated that way. I know you’re wondering what kind of filth would be involved in a movie titled …
Kojak: Flowers for Matty movie
I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …

Alice in Wonderland Movie (2010)

The Parent Trap III movie

What a Way to Go!
This comedy is a real hoot! The cast of What a Way to Go! is first rate, a truly phenomenal group of actors who all surround the female star, Shirley MacLaine. Shirley plays Louisa May Foster, a girl from a humble family who really only wants to …
Movie Bandidas

A Mighty Heart
I can’t say that I really loved the movie “A Mighty Heart” since I never really did get to watch it in full but only watched parts of it over different time periods. When i was watching the parts of it, the movie did seem a little boring but …
The movie Snow Buddies
Snow Buddies…. oh my goodness. There were so many Air Bud films that it was ridiculous. Now comes this one, yet another air bud movie that is so much like Snow Dogs that its sickening.

“Nine” the movie 2010
I rented the musical “Nine” because of it’s stars– in particular, Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz, two of my favorites. I had seen Kidman in Moulin Rouge so I knew she could pull off a musical. I was a bit disappointed in the film. Now I have to admit, …

Movie Transformers
Transformers was one of the most awaited films of 2007. And honestly, I wasn’t really that keen on watching it, maybe because I never was aware of the animated series in the 80’s. But because one of my closest friends really wants to watch it, I decided to come …

The Wicker Man (Original)

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

Nicholas Nickleby Movie
“Nicholas Nickleby” starring Charlie Hunnam is a fairly decent adaptation of Charles Dickens’s novel, although a lot has been left out due to time constraints. Mini-series work much better to translate Dickens’s 800-900 pages long masterpieces to the screen.
Charlie Hunnam plays the 18 year old Nicholas, a young man …

Firstborn,1984 movie
This is another depressing movie, of the kind I dislike. I mean, life can be depressing enough, so why take its darkest things onto the screen and drag them on and on? Not that I’m totally opposed to movies showing negative reality, but come on, sometimes enough is enough.
Anyway. …

DVD North Country
Imagine a Lifetime Television Original with a bunch of four letter words and you get North Country.
North Country tells the (cliched) true tale of a woman who brought a class action sexual harrassement suit against the bad dialogue spewing management of a coal mine.
Movies like this have been a …

Somewhere (2010 Film) by Sofia Coppola
