Thunderbirds (2004)
The movie adaptation of a regular and popular television series. The difference between the movie and the series is that instead of using the puppets from the TV, they have replaced them with live actors to do their worst. I didn’t stutter, they really did their worst in this …
“Jane Eyre” with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke
I have seen several movies based on this classic by Charlotte Bronte, and this 1983 version starring Zelah Clarke as Jane and Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester is, in my opinion, by far the best. The plot is very true to the book, and the two leading actors were …
Lone Star movie
I’ve heard about Lone Star, but I’ve never been tempted to watch it. However, a friend sent it to me recently, so I figured I’d sit down and see how it was. There was actually a lead in to this with comments that intrigued me. Thus, …
Bubble movie
“Bubble” is directed by Stephen Soderbergh. Soderbergh is the brillian mind behind such films as “Sex, Lies and Videotapes” and “Traffic”. Whats sad about this is that “Bubble” Is terrible. I’m not sure how a great director can go from hollywood blockbusters to bombing …

Vigilante Force is a movie from 1976 that featured Jan-Michael Vincent and Kris Kristofferson. It opens with sex and violence, two huge turn offs for me. I’ve seen it in passing a couple of times, when I was more into Kristofferson in his post-A Star is Born …

Fred Claus the movie
We just finished watching Fred Claus. The storyline did go a lot different than I thought it would. It was entertaining and I would say, worth renting or buying the dvd. I don’t think, that if given the choice, I would go pay to see it in the theater. …

Die Hard 4.0 Movie Starring Bruce Willis

The Prince of Tides film
From 1991, The Prince of Tides stars Barbra Streisand and Nick Nolte. Sometimes I find it hard to believe those two made an on-screen couple, but they definitely did. Also in the film, which Streisand directed, are Blythe Danner, Melinda Dillon, Kate Nelligan, George Carlin, and, making …

A League Of Their Own Movie (1992)
