Carrie (2013 movie)
Ever since the original movie was released in nineteen seventy six, there seems to have been quite a few remakes of the movie “Carrie” as well as one or two spin offs from it. The one that I’ve decided to review though was the one that was released late …

Murder by Television movie
It’s Bela Lugosi doing his thing in the vintage movie, Murder by Television. This is going back to the beginnings of TV, when networks and manufacturers were making the concept work and striving to make it better than their competitor.
This movie is all about industrial piracy, so …

Resident Evil: Afterlife Movie (2010)
I saw this movie at the theatre today as my brother said it was really cool and great; the movie was only 1 hour and 40 minutes but somehow I felt it was longer. This movie features Alice (Milla Jovovich) going to Japan to finally confront and destroy Umbrella …
Green Hornet (2011) Movie
So last night my wife and i went out to watch the new Green Hornet hornet movie and i thought i’d let everybody know what i thought of it. Before getting right into the review i guess i should let you know that i am pretty easily pleased …
Galaxy Quest
Let me start off with saying Tim Allen isn’t my favorite actor and I was unsure about this movie when I heard he was in it, but after seeing it and laughing most of the way through, I thought he acted pretty well. I had to do a double …

SAW UNCUT EDITION movie
SAW UNCUT EDITION
This is the second DVD Lionsgate Films has released on the runaway horror smash and it includes a few more snippets of gore than needed to be trimmed for the film to secure and R rating.
SAW is easily one of the most refreshingly original films to come …
Carter’s Army movie
In 1970, Carter’s Army was released, and somewhere along the line it’s been re-released under the name Black Brigade. Now what is interesting to me is that before writing my review, I was checking out the credits and ran across the first few lines of comments someone made …
Movie About a Boy
As I’ve indicated in other reviews, I’m not a huge fan of British movies. And, the Hugh Grant film About a Boy is a good example of why.
Grant plays his normal character, a single man who looks to hook up with various women and starts out lying to them …

Rollin’ Plains movie
Rollin’ Plains from 1938 is your traditional cow man versus the sheep man movie. This is something we’ve seen dozens, perhaps hundreds of times over the years, but back in ‘38 it wasn’t quite so old hat as yet.
The western was a musical one, featuring the singing cowboy …
Jake Spanner, Private Eye movie
Robert Mitchum starred in 1989’s Jake Spanner, Private Eye which had a unique opening of having Spanner dreaming and using excerpts from Mitchum’s movies as the dream. That was intriguing. Before the viewer has a chance to really chuckle and enjoy that, the credits start and, wow, …
Movie The Godfather
The Godfather (part 1) is one of a few movies I watched several times, besides Kramer vs Kramer, Accidental Hero, Heat, Ronin, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, The Untouchable, Rain Man, The Deer Hunter and…uhm, Entrapment (What? It is an entertaining movie, isn’t it?).
Based on the novel of notable author …
Invictus: Movie
I thought that Invictus was a good, well-made film but had it not been based on true events, I’m not sure I would have been interested.
Rugby is not a sport that I have any real interest in, but the history that this film shows I feel was important. Nelson …
Mr Death movie
Errol Morris is one of my favorite documentary filmmakers. This time he tells the story of a strange man who verifies the quality of electric chairs for a living, hence the title. But he was also controversial for another reason. He was given a mission to travel to a …
A Very Special Love starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo
Last 2008, my girlfriend asked me to take her to watch another feel-good love story starring Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Good. As I have posted in my previous reviews, I am a no fan of these kind of movies especially Filipino films.
The film was about Sarah Geronimo …
American Sniper, movie
This movie has gotten a lot of buzz for a variety of reasons. Some of the reasons are legit and others are a bit frivolous.
For some reason, people have turned the movie into a political pawn. Fox News talks about it all the time and …
Broken Arrow : The fight for Nukes
I am a huge fan of John Travolta and Broken Arrow provided me the best of him and so the movie counts as one of my favourite movies. The movie is based on stolen Nuclear Bombs that are at a huge risk getting activated and hence blowing up a …
Clambake movie
From 1967, the movie musical Clambake stars the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. It’s not an award winner by any means, but it is a fun movie, albeit predictable. It’s just not a stretch of any of the performers’ acting talents. By this point, …
Failure to Launch
I must admit that I prefer the on screen couple, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson however the on screen couple presented in the romantic comedy “Failure to Launch” with McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t bad at all. These two actors managed to present a romantic comedy which is …
Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters (movie)
I might be a fairly cynical twenty-something right now, but there are some things that I find that I have not and probably never will outgrow. Two of those things are my love for superheroes and my love of fairy-tales, especially those that hail from places in Europe. When …
“The Fourth Kind” movie
Good idea, very interesting form and … cheating, which discourages the viewer. Instead of shocking the movie, we deal with this really good, but unfortunately still not perfect art.
Intriguing beginning gives us hope for a great movie. At a time when we learn that it is based on facts …
Movie Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror
At long last a DVD release for this Saturday afternoon television staple!
Well, TV staple in the USA. In Spain and the rest of Europe, this marked Paul Naschy’s first film of the Waldermar Danisky the Werewolf series under the title Mark of the Wolfman (Marca Del Hombre Lobo)

Supernatural:Monster movie
The director decided to go Vintage style and so this episode is black and white. Right from the start to the end,it is in black and white. Well not much of a difference actually,because the show does not sport bright colors,which is with keeping with the theme of the …
Center Stage Movie
I had watched this movie for the first time and my first thought was like, where did these people come from? The next thought that followed was that, why aren’t they famous, they should be! Upon watching Center Stage, this is the perfect movie for ballerinas, may the be …

Spice World movie
When the movie Spice World came out in theatres it was all the rage amongst young girls. I never got to see it in theatres myself, but I can remember my friends constantly talking about it and me feeling left out. On the other hand, there were the …

Dickinson Eastglen 16 movie theater, Lee’s Summit, MO
As someone who loves to go to the movies, I am so disappointed in our local movie theater - Dickinson Eastglen 16. Over the past several years, the facility has fallen into a state of disrepair. Several of the faucets in the bathroom no longer work and …
Twilight Movie
I have heard so many outrageous things said about the Twilight movie, and from people who haven’t even watched it. They have said that Edward Cullen isn’t a real vampire, that he’s a wimpy vampire, that he’s a pretty boy, and pretty much any other ridiculous thing that one …
Carlin on Campus
I had never seen the comedy show Carlin on Campus (featuring George Carlin) before. So, when I came across a repeat of it on one of the cable networks last night I figured I would take the time to watch it.
Having never seen Carlin’s standup routine before, I understand …
Three Strikes (R, 2000)
I usually don’t take notice of films like these. But on a road trip recently, someone slipped this into the portable DVD player. I was actually surprised that I found this piece of cinema (if you can call it that) rather entertaining. I …
Priest (Movie 2011)
My boyfriend wanted to see this film a few weeks ago, and so he asked me out and we watched it. Well, to tell you honestly, when I saw the trailer, I knew that it was going to suck! And no, I’m not basing my judgment on the director …
Richard Attenborough’s Chaplin (movie)
After watching a couple interviews with the actor Robert Downey Jr, I became interested in him as a person and as an actor. However, it occurred to me almost at that moment that I really don’t know much about him and haven’t watched many of his movies. Therefore, I …

Halloween 2 movie
Rob Zombie returns with the follow up to his remake of the seminal slasher film. Last time, he made a terrible job of the remake and this time round he makes an even crappier job with its sequel. Well, that isn’t really fair. The awful flashback sequences from the …
Quinceaneara (R, 2005) movie
Quinceanera is a really complex film that has several different layers. Those who have no idea what a Quinceanera is, should understand that it is very much like a Sweet Sixteen or a Bar Mitzvah in U.S. culture. The Quinceaneara is really just the foundation for the …
Wildcats movie
Goldie Hawn stars in Wildcats as a football coach, something that is definitely unusual and which presents her with a lot of challenges. She knows football, but her knowledge doesn’t buy her the trust and belief of anyone, including her team. She has to work hard to …
Be Kind Rewind, comedy film
Comedy movies are hard to make any more. A good comedy tends to please the audience for its entire length. A bad comedy only has enough laughs to make the trailer look good. Be Kind Rewind is one of those comedy movies that sort of falls in-between the cracks …
