Arizona Days movie
Arizona Days, one of the many western motion pictures released way back in 1937, was just Tex Ritter’s 3rd movie. As one of the new singing cowboys, the big thing to note here is that his trusted horse, White Flash, wasn’t credited yet. That would change soon, …

Gidget Grows Up
There was a bit of hiatus between the original three Gidget movies and TV series of the early and mid-60’s to this made-for-TV movie of 1969, but it was worth the wait. Gidget Grows Up is in reality my third favorite of the entire Gidget franchise. It’s …
Film Pretty Woman (1990)
This movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts came out in 1990. When it first came out my mom did not want me to see it because she worried it made prostitution look attractive to kids. Now that I am an adult I do agree …
A Real American Hero movie
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from A Real American Hero, a 1978 TV movie about famed sheriff, Buford Pusser. Now this movie was done after at least two of the theatrical Walking Tall films with Joe Don Baker had been released to good success.
I’ve seen those …

King Kong Film
This was surely the worst film I have seen in over a year. For the director to say he spent his whole life wanting to re-make this film is a joke as he couldn’t of done a worse job. The storyline is exactly the same as in …

Movie I’m Not There
Bob Dylan is hard to explain in a few words, consequently why not have six unlike people portray him in the movie “I’m Not There”. This is what writer director Todd Haynes made. You might recognize his movie Far From Heaven starring Julianne Moore. The characters played through the …
The Call (Movie 2013)

The Call isn’t meant …

Transporter
Up until I saw this film I had not seen any of Jason Statham’s work. Like Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme before him, he has made a movie career solely out of the fact that he knows kung fu.
The writers behind this film weren’t much …

Miracle on Ice

Chloe Movie (2009)
Chloe is brilliant and enticing erotic thriller that reminds me a little bit of the movies in the 90’s, though is has more daring scenes and dialogue than the 90’s movies were ever allowed to have. The storyline is completely and deliciously unpredictable. It is full of …
