Madagascar 2 Back to Africa (2008 movie)
I never thought that my son would fall in love with the series as quickly as he did. He especially loves the Penguins. And to be honest , I like the Penguins, too. They can be really funny sometimes. What I like about this movie is it basically has …
Weird Science
The last time I watched the movie Weird Science, I was 12 years old and, while I understood some of what was going on, I�ll admit most of the stuff was a bit confusing.
So, when I found it on one of my premium movie channels the other day, I …
Shrek the 3rd
When I heard they were coming out with a third Shrek movie, my gut reaction was the producers were going too far and there was no way they could strike gold a third time. That�s why I avoided seeing it in the theater.
This past week, when it came out …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday (2007)
Mr. Bean goes on vacation after winning a raffle. That is the plot of the movie plain and simple and in a nutshell as anyone could have it. All this movie does is takes us on the road of adventure that Mr. Bean goes through from place to place. …
Dream House Movie
I saw the trailer for this movie about the same time the movie Help came out. I found myself drawn to it for its mysterious quality. I couldn’t wait to see it. When I finally saw it, I found myself having mixed emotions about it. …
Never Street (Loren D. Estleman’s Amos Walker)
“Never Street” is my favorite Amos Walker novel yet. I love film noir and every hard-boiled detective owes his roots to film noir. There are no more hard-boiled detectives than Loren D. Estlman’s Amos Walker. With “Never Street” Loren D. Estleman combines the two. “Never Street” is a hard-boiled …
Meshes of the Afternoon moive
Perhaps the most important of all experimental films ever made. This was directed by Maya Deren and is and shows one event taking place repeatedly, but each time there is a difference in the way it occurs, only a minor one barely noticable. No matter what you think about …
Blade,movie
The original and still the best. It caused alot of controversy and it did not disappoint. You couldn’t tell if Blade was the bad guy or the good guy…but has was Baaad. Blade is a vampire who hunts vampires…an interesting plot at best. The action is intense and believable. …

You, Me and Dupree movie
I’ve seen this movie just recently, I like the film sine it is based on friendship and love. Its a nice story to watch because it has its morals and lessons that points out in the story but I don’t think that its a good movie to watch for …
Man on the Moon
Man On The Moon with Jim Carrey, Danny DeVito, Courtney Love, and Paul Giamatti.
Though hard to tell by the title, this poorly presented movie was a biography of the comedian Andy Kaufman and his alter ego Tony Clifton. It is a shame that such a …
Movie : Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a really funny movie! My wife and I watched it the other night and were both pleasantly surprised. The movie features Jason Segal (who plays Marshall on “How I Met Your Mother) and Kristen Bell (who starred in the recently canceled “Veronica Mars”). …
Enemy At The Gates
No introduction to actors Ed Harris and Jude Law are ever required. Enemy At The Gates, in my opinion, is often an overlooked masterpiece. Based on real life events during World War II, the movie centers around the battle for Stalingrad between the Germans and Russians. Master sniper …
Incrediable Hulk 2008
I saw the new Incredible Hulk. I must say it was a great movie! The new 2008 version of the Incredible Hulk is must better than the older one. I was actually impressed with this version. One of the reasons I loved it so much, was because it was …
The Forbidden Kingdom
“The Forbidden Kingdom”, directed by Rob Minkoff, is a rather highly predictable tale involving a Kung-Fu crazy american teenager, a ‘drunken immortal’(Jackie Chan), a monkey god(Jet Li) and a megalomaniacal military warlord. The plot revolves around the monkey god’s golden staff, which was separated from him by the cunning …
Wanted (2008 Movie)

Since he …
Bottoms Up
I came across the movie Bottoms Up on one of my movie channels last night and didn’t know what to think of it. I did discover the film was better than I thought it would be but still wasn’t the greatest comedy ever either.
The movie, which stars Paris Hilton …
A Night at the Museum
“A Night at the Museum” is a great comedy/fantasy movie with the actor, Ben Stiller at his best. I personally like Stiller in the movies “Meet the Fuckers”, “The Heartbreak Kid” and “There is something about Mary”, however I also like him when he does something completely different, just …
Parents movie
Parents is a very old scary movie. But by todays standards it’s looked upon as a comedy instead of a horror movie. It’s a very dark yet funny movie. I guess that is why it’s called a dark comedy. But when I watched this film as a kid, I thought …
Girl Happy movie
1965 gave the world another Elvis Presley movie, this time called Girl Happy. It featured, once again, Shelley Fabares. She and the King had a real chemistry going, but I have to say that I hated her hairdo in this flick. She looked really funny with …

The Brother From Another Planet
If you’re looking for a really bad black comedy film from the 70s and early 80s, don’t hesitate to watch the 1984 movie The Brother from Another Planet.
Joe Morton plays “The Brother,” an escaped slave from a planet know as “Another Planet.” I think that was the best joke …

The Hurt Locker is one of the best war films made in a while, one that deserves to sit up there along with Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan and …
The Associate movie
I viewed The Associate starring Whoopie Goldberg. This moive is very funny.
Whoopi Goldberg plays Laurel Ayres. A woman executive who finds it hard to get promotions and even recognition. She creates a male associate.
This creates almost continuous humor. Ayres pretends to work with Robert …

Armageddon
Man, how much cooler can you get? The 1999 movie, Armageddon, is one of my all time favorites. I love Bruce Willis. And for once, he’s not really in his Die Hard McClane character. He’s still a tough as nails oil driller named Harry Stamper who is charged with …
Screwed movie
Screwed is a very funny movie and I couldn’t suppress my laughter throughout the movie. It has so many comedy scenes one after another that people can not control their laughter. I faced the same problem throughout the movie when I watched in theater some years ago. It …
Signs
Signs was a really cool and scary movie. This movie really got into my head and freaked me out! I think this is why I liked it so much. It starts of slow with people seeing crop circles. And then you think you see things moving outside in the shadows, …
Rambo, First Blood Part 3 movie
I generally liked the Rambo films when they came out. The third installment, however, was one too many for a franchise that was otherwise really good.
In the third movie, Rambo is sent into Afghanistan to rescue his former commander from the Soviets. He ends up helping a terrorist group …
DVD Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971)
Oh boy, is this the most incoherent movie ever made or what?

My Fair Lady: A Film by George Cukor (1964)
My Fair Lady is definitely one of the best Audrey Hepburn films to date. I’m not enthralled by the designer, Ralph Lauren and his bygone collection inspired from this musical film. But it aroused my interest to watch it anyway. All its posters in Technicolor suggested …
Surrogates movie
The movie “Surrogates” has an interesting plot and premise with nearly everyone on the planet having a station that they connect to, which allows them to control an identical looking robot of them. The movie begins with action to keep the viewer interested and sets up a plot in …
Warlock movie
I found this movie a lot of fun. It seems to me a mixture of genres: a little bit fantasy with the magic, a little bit action with all the running around and a little bit horror with the bad guy killing people. The movie is well made and …
It Follows, horror movie
Within the last few years the genre of “Horror” for me seems to repeat the same mundane patterns of predictability and flatness. However, “It follows” is a gripping and tense horror flick that will leave you shaken, yet wanting more.
With barely anytime to get comfy, director (David Robert Mitchell) has …
Movie : Dolan’s Cadillac (2009)
When I saw this movie the firs thing that surprised me was Christian Slater was still acting. I was sure he had dissapeared into oblivion years ago, but based on his starrign role in the film he obviously still has a lot left to offer the cinema world and …
The Death And Life Of Bobby Z
I love Paul Walker very much. And in this movie, The Death And Life Of Bobby Z that he acted which I’ve watched like 2 times, the storyline ain’t that bad.
At first, I was quite skeptical into thinking that it is a rather cheesy gangster movie but …
Babel movie
Babel had a lot to say and used intertwined stories to tell it. The movie was capable at discussing the narratives, often giving voice to those that aren’t often portrayed in movies. The Mexican housekeeper’s story is portrayed by her not being able to tell it. The Japanese teenager …
Movie Collateral
In the movie “Collateral” one can see the actor, Tom Cruise with a strange hair colour and the actor, Mark Ruffalo with gel in his hair and sporting an earring. Apart from these funny facts, “Collateral” had to be a Tom Cruise drama movie; however I felt that the …

The I in the Triangle is the film of a lecture given by renowned author and conspiracy expert Robert Anton Wilson. I am a big fan of Wilson, so it is always nice to see another one of his videos. This is an older lecture given by …

A british comedy that stars the likes of Mos Def, Martin Freeman, Zooey Deschanel, John Malkovich, Bill Nighy, Sam Rockwell and the voice of Alan Rickman as a melodramatic robot.
