Ok, has a movie ever had a title that told you everything you wanted to know about the film’s contents like this one?
Here’s the rundown. Waldemar is back and he ain’t paying attention to the continuity of the previous films. He’s in Victorian England and cursed to be a …

Synopsis: A man and woman who can’t stand each other end up moving in together after their friends are killed in a car crash and name them the guardians of their 1-year-old daughter.
What I liked about this movie: I’m not big into tear jerkers and, for the most part, …

It took me quite some time before I was actually able to watch the movie “Cinderella Man” being that it was not the type of movie which I usually liked watching at the time, and I thought that it would probably be another boring sports drama film which I …

The Incredible Hulk represents a vast improvement over Ang Lee’s 2003 effort that disappointed Hulk fans across the world with its drab storyline and bland characters. Conversely, the Incredible Hulk (2008) provides the viewer with everything you would expect from a summmer “popcorn movie”, including lots of …

Leaving Las Vegas is probably the most tragic movie I have ever seen, but at the same time it is strangely uplifting on another level. It is the story of two broken souls that come across each other at their lowest point and see the similarity, see something in …

I had a friend recently recommend the movie Juno to me. From the trailers, the movie didn’t really stand out to me, and I probably wouldn’t have realized it existed if not for this friend. That is all beside the point, however, because I’m very glad I …

Supposedly a remake of a 1972 comedy, this 2007 release is a vulgar R-rated flick packed with obscenities, gross-out humor, and no wits whatsoever. Prolonged scenes of rough sex are supposed to be funny, as well as disgusting smirks at bestiality. The major plot line is the same: a …

The Road pictures continue with this third outing from 1942 called Road to Morocco. As with the first two films, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour starred. It was that same old formula, too, but that isn’t a bad thing in the case of this movie.
One of …

Next of Kin was the movie Patrick Swayze did after Road House. He played a hillbilly cop, living in Chicago, where the movie was filmed. Helen Hunt was cast as his wife, and his two brothers were played by Liam Neeson and Bill Paxton. The crux …

I am reviewing the movie, Around the Bend, starring Michael Caine, Josh Lucas, and Christopher Walken. This movie is about common, everyday things. It is about a young father who is taking care of an older man in his house, while trying to raise his young boy at …

My wife loaded the movie Candy Man on our Netflix player about a month ago because she remembered watching it as a kid and she wanted me to watch it with her. We ended up waiting until the kids were in bed this past weekend to watch it because …

I had heard about this movie coming out in movies. But I deliberately skipped over it. I thought to myself: How in the world can a movie about a parking deck be scary? How is this going to go over, I asked myself. …

Tales from the Hood is a horror movie set in the inner city. It is directed by Spike Lee. The movie is an set up as an anthology, in a manner similar to Cats Eye and Creepshow. There are several stories woven together in the movie’s …

Suspiria is a totally weird film, no doubt about that. I watched it because it was recommended as a cult horror classic and I was not disappointed. I loved the bright colors, the shots that were so psychedelic and keeping with the hip times, but sometimes Suspiria was a …

“Spirited Away” presents remarkable detail in the way of animation. The creator of the animation is Hiyao Miyazaki. The storyline itself is highly imaginative. Suffice it to say: much goes into proper animation of a movie. During the process sometimes there is a tendency …

The Woods is a straight to DVD horror movie starring a group of random girls that have never acted before or who have only had a few roles. Patricia Clarkson plays the headmistress of a boarding school for girls, with a dark secret. Bruce Campbell turns up in a …

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, …

“Robin Hood” is not my favorite Disney animated feature. In fact, the main reason why I like it at all is the narrator, a rooster / minstrel with the voice of Roger Miller, who also composed the songs that he sings to move the story along.
The bunnies …

I had been waiting on the edge of my seat for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to come out. I watched all of the movies prior to this one on DVD three or four times in the last month, getting reaquainted with the story and the …

Star Wars: Episode 5: the Empire Strikes Back continues the adventures of Luke Skywalker as he helps the Rebel Alliance Escape from Darth Vader who is looking for him as he goes to the planet Degobah to search for the Jedi Master Yoda.
The Empire Strikes Back is a great …

I went to this movie with high hopes that, even though the director of the first two films had left for “Superman Returns”, it would still be just as good as the first two. I was sorely dissapointed in the movie’s treatment of it’s characters, overall story, and …

The very first 007-film starrs Sean Connery as the spectacular hero and the stunningly beautiful Ursula Andress as his lover (who appears very late in the film). James Bond goes to Jamaica to investigate the insane Dr No and prevent him from destroying the world. Dr No isn’t the …

Nacho Libre with Jack Black.
As a fan of Mexican Lucha Libre, or professional wrestling as it could be called, I thoroughly enjoyed this film about this national past time. It appears to be a comedy farce film, but it is too accurate in its …

Of all the Walt Disney movies that are out there, the Little Mermaid has to be one of the more colorful ones. Prior to the bad sequels and the even worst television series, this movie was an inspiration for future underwater tales, including Nemo.
My daughter isn’t very good at …

I have been skipping over Doubt on my Netflix list, because quite frankly, I couldn’t tell what the movie was about. And when I looked at the synopsis, I couldn’t really get a grip on the gist of the film. It seemed like some kind of …

I really enjoyed this movie, even though it was for kids. It is nice that there are kids’ movies that adults can watch and even enjoy. The animation in this movie is great!
In this movie, a group of zoo animal friends are celebrating one friend’s birthday (a vain lion, …

Watching this movie was a fairly new and interesting experience for me, since I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Jackie Chan movie like it, and I also used to like Jackie Chan movies. Yes, it was still one of Jackie Chan’s martial arts comedies, but I don’t usually …

I thought Avatar was a fantastic film, fully meeting my expectations and then some with its brilliantly produced content.
It is the films special effects that have been praised more than anything, and I have to agree with the general consensus when I say that James Cameron has done a …

The 2005 film “The Wedding Date” is in the genre of romantic comedy, and while it surely did deliver on the comedy level, I am not so sure the movie was something I could enjoy more than once. I found the plot to be sort of “Pretty Woman” backwards …

I rarely watch American Dad. It’s a funny show, but the jokes are a little too crude to be watching with my daughter in the same room.
I did watch last night’s Christmas Special though and was entertained.
I think the reason I liked it so much is the fact they …

“The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” is a decent effort by director Peter Jackson to wrap up the trilogy based on the novel, ‘The Hobbit’. Now I use decent very loosely as it falls far below the quality of the first two installments in the trilogy. When I watched …

“The Sweetest Thing” was a Romance and Comedy flick which was released in 2002. It is also what some people might call a “Chick Flick” as it revolves around the lives of several young female friends and one of them who is trying to track down a guy she …

I thought that The Sixth Sense is one of the best scary and strange movies made in the last 10 years. This movie really messed with my head and scared me the first time I saw it. I was not expecting the movie to be that scary, but it was …

Teeth is this incredibly odd little movie that is partly a horror movie and part something I don’t know. I watched it, expecting it to be a straight horror movie with a little humor thrown in. Now that I’ve seen it all the way through, I couldn’t tell you …

Jurassic Park (1993) is an action film from director Steven Spielberg and is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for intense science fiction terror.
Jurassic Park tells the story of millionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) who asks two dinosaur experts (Laura Dern and Sam Neill) to act as consultants on his …

One of the films that I remember underestimating the most last year was the movie “The Hunger Games”. When I saw the trailer first, a part of me expected that it was going to be a lot like the Twilight franchise, which I hated, since I noticed at the …

At long last the second of four new feature length Futurama films has been released on DVD and it was a home run right out of this universe and millennium. In true Futurama fashion this movie is hillarious while at the same time thought provoking in only the way …

I’ve watched this movie on HBO and it helped pass the time at first, but when the movie was in the middle part the plot becomes obvious and sort of predictable that the ending will be a good one. The actors and actresses aren’t even famous but at least …

I watched this movie a long time ago a little after it was released, but I don’t think I was old enough to understand it enough to appreciate it. I forgot about it for a couple more years until I saw it on television recently again. I didn’t think …

When you talk about a true vampire movie in all its essence then you have to think about one of the best vampire movies of all time and that is Lost Boys. When a family gets accidentally involved with a band of vampires they must fight for their lives. …

The Werewolf’s Shadow (1970) (aka Night of Walpurgis and Werewolf vs The Vampire Woman)
Three cheers to Anchor Bay for releasing the most complete version of this Paul Naschy werewolf classic! It is a huge step up over the rotten, heavily edited VHS version BLOOD MOON that was released twenty …

Doris Day and Peter Graves star in The Ballad of Josie, a western more or less about a widowed woman who strives to keep her ranch going after the death of her husband. Though most of the town is against her, she perseveres, with the assistance and support, …

For most of Audrey Hepburn’s onscreen career, romantic films helped to greatly define her image as a beguiling female lead. It is why I feel a strong interest in seeing her other exclusive portrayals outside that “frivolous bubble,” yet all the while entertaining, of girl-falls-in-love flicks; I want …

I’ve seen the ending to the movie Brewster’s Millions at least a dozen times. But, today was the first time I’ve actually sat down for a couple of hours to watch it.
While I didn’t really find this Richard Pryor comedy all that funny, I do have to say this …
