Movie: “Risky Business”
Tom Cruise had his big break in “Risky Business” back in 1983, and I could see why: the movie is the ultimate coming-of-age story, with all the expect twists and turns.
Cruise plays awkward teenager Joel, who longs to be cool - he dreams of sex, money, and popularity. When …
We’re No Angels (movie)
For a comedy film, the movie We�re No Angels really doesn�t produce many laughs.
Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn put in a valiant effort, but the weak script and the even weaker concept really doesn�t work. You can only make so many jokes at the expense of the church …
What’s the Worst That Could Happen?
Mix the acting ability of Martin Lawrence with another great comedy actor Danny DeVito and you get a great comedy that will make you laugh non-stop. What I really enjoyed about “What’s the Worst That Could Happen?” is the two main actors’ ability in bringing out the best possible …

Hollywood Land movie
I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
I think it’s because this movie was something different from what I was expecting.
I think the movie, which is about former …
Hi Diddle Diddle movie
Some of these earlier movie musicals are so hard to describe simply because the plot can get a little offbeat and quirky. Of course, the same thing happens from time to time today, too, but some early films just didn’t have that much to them. Let’s take …
The Village movie
The Village is a movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I have been a very big fan of Night Shyamalan and I watch every movie directed by him. But The Village is a bit disappointing movie because of no proper story. The pace of the plot is very slow …

I am Legend
Ok, considering I waited several weeks before I was able to find a copy of I am Legend at my local video store, I have to say I’m extremely disappointed in this movie. In fact, I’m absolutely glad I rented it rather than buy it.
When I see a movie …
Sherlock Holmes Movie
Who knew Sherlock Holmes was a ninja? Let this movie be words of wisdom for anyone trying to pick a fight with someone of high intellectual standing. Yep, this means all you bullies out there better leave the computer nerds, college professors, and scientists alone or they …
It Runs in the Family (2003)
The movie is starring Kirk and Michael Douglas, as well as Cameron Douglas. This movie was more of a family reunion for the actors themselves, rather than entertainment or movie of great value. Despite all the publicity and the positive exposure, in my experience, it is one hard-to-watch …
Adventures in Babysitting
Adventures in Babysitting was a fun little movie directed by Chris Columbus that came out in the eighties. Elizabeth Shue plays the perfect combination of girl-next-door and blonde bombshell who every guy wants to call his girlfriend. Starring in the title role, Shue hams it up nicely as …

X - Men 3 (movie)

The Craving movie

Eat, Pray, Love Movie
Pretty good movie based on a decent book.
I enjoyed this movie more than I expected to. Julia Roberts isn’t my favorite actor, although I think in the case of Liz Gilbert, she was probably the best choice. I also enjoyed the movie more than I did the …
Movie: Aliens in the Attic
When the film Aliens in the Attic first came out, my wife and I gave serious consideration to seeing it in the theater with our oldest daughter. We decided against this because we figured it wouldn’t be as good as the previews.
We finally did watch the movie this past …

Rush Hour 3
Very forgettable movie. Does not compare to Rush Hour 1 and 2. The jokes were old and used from Rush Hour one and Two. I thought the main characters Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker were shadows of their former selves. Chris Tucker looked like he gained 80 pounds. Jackie Chan’s …
A kidnapping in the family
This is one of the lifetime movies that I watched a couple of years ago. I have seen it twice if I remember correctly. Although it wasn’t one of my favorites from them it is definately worth watching. I really liked it overall, I thought that it was a …

Prometheus 2012 Science Fiction Film
I will immediately reveal that I have given this film the rating of seven, and it should instantly make a statement about what I think of this movie. I think that this film is good, but not excellent.
I would like to make some comments about the production quality of …
Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
This is a busy movie. So much hinges on it. I think this movie hinged, moving away from a pure children’s film to a more teen or older movie. The themes and atmosphere gained maturity, right alongside the characters.
By busy I mean that this film had to introduce several …
Short Circuit movie
Well, that was an old movie I haven’t seen in a while; Short Circuit. You know what, when this movie first came out, I thought it was pretty good. Now I have to think it is more annoying than anything.

Spartans
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, Spartans, starring a variety of different actors. This is one of those spoof movies, like the Scary Movie saga. The Scary Movie saga makes fun of a variety of different scary movies through the years, whereas Spartans focuses on making fun of the …
The Hills Have Eyes 2
It’s not often I come across a horror film that actually scares me to the point I want to make sure all the doors and windows are locked. The Hills Have Eyes 2 managed to accomplish this.
The 2007 remake turned out to be one of the scarier movies I’ve …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

There wasn’t much on TV this past weekend so my wife and I ended up watching a movie that we found on TV; Deadly Honeymoon.
