Will Smith is one of my favorite Hollywood actors. He has reinvented himself quite well, from being a former rapper and television star to becoming an A-list movie actor. I’ve watched almost all his films (my favorite being The Pursuit of Happyness). So I was really excited to see …

I still think that the movie “Trapped” might have been the best movie I have seen the actor Stewart Townsed star in for quite some time. I personally like the movie not only because the actor Stewart Townsend was in it but because I thought the movie kept me on …

It’s an oldie but a goodie, in my book. The Abyss, 1989, stars Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Ed Harris as part of a civilian diving team hired by the military to search for a lost submarin carrying nuclear warheads. When the team, both civilian and military, are disconnected from …

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 …

I went in expecting this movie to be as funny as its prequel (Dumb and Dumber), which released 20 years ago. It didn’t quite live up to my expectations but nevertheless it was funny. It was extremely ‘dumb’ enough to invoke laughter throughout the film. The film has done extremely …

Perry Mason: The Case of the Skin-Deep Scandal stars Raymond Burr as the famous attorney, Perry Mason. I liked the guest cast, but somehow the story didn’t pull me in like the major of Perry Mason cases have done.
It begins with a powerful, manipulative woman played by Morgan …

Disney was the pioneer of mixing live action with animation, way back when he produced Alice In Cartoonland back in the 1920s. This art form would be tried many times by many animators throughout cinema’s history, culminating in 1988s �Who Framed Roger Rabbit?� But between Alice and Roger rode …

I admit that I am a Jodie Foster fan. Whatever this actress does, she always impress me with her acting talent. “Anna and the King” is an impressive movie mainly because the two main acters are simply brilliant and together with a great director they manage to hold you …

I had heard nothing but bad things about this movie. I jokingly suggested to my roommate that we rent it, he took me seriously and added it to our netflix queue. I was truly expecting “Batman and Robin” or “Catwoman” levels of bad. Truthfully, it’s not …

From 1988, Tequila Sunrise simply bored me from scene to scene. I could never get into it. In fact, I turned off the DVD on one day and went back to it on another, starting from the beginning. It was just too uninteresting.
Now it’s possible that …

I have always been a Michael Jackson fan, and as long as I can remember, I loved his music and was in awe of his dancing ability. As with almost everyone I know, his death was a shock, and I wanted to see the new movie about his last …

With the removie of due out on video any day I thought I’d prepare by watching and reviewing the original movie done fifty years ago. “3:10 to Yuma” was a Columbia Picture, shot in black and white, something I really like, and lasting 91 minutes, also something I like. …

After watching the Ides of March I have found it to be entertaining, gripping, smart movie. The cast of the movies is the top of the line, you couldn’t wish for better actors to work on it. The strongest feature of the movie is in the unique characters in …

It was a bit cold and foggy this morning so, since I couldn’t go outside to work in the garden, I ended up watching some movies instead.
One of those movies was a film I had loaded on our Netflix instant watch; The Land Time Forgot. I mainly loaded it …

What happens when a negative man who feels as though God is out to get him gets the power of God and must therefore do God’s job? The 2003 comedy “Bruce Almighty” happened. This film was funny and very insightful to how much we can sometimes make situations all …

The first few months of the year are usually the hardest for movie goers, such as myself, as there is a huge difficulty finding quality movies, but I can safely say, the drought is over. We finally have our gem and its name is Chronicle.
Chronicle is directed by first …

Monkey Shines is a pretty good movie, and yes it is kind of scary. It is not super scary. It’s more of a movie that messes with your head. But the monkey in the movie does look kind of spooky. The music in the movie was pretty dark and scary. …

I can remember the day that my father introduced this movie to me. I can remember each and every detail of it like I’d seen it just yesterday. After all, how could i forget a movie whose main character was an eight-year-old sociopathic child who killed without a conscience …

My two big brothers got me hooked on Twin Peaks only about five years ago. I had heard of the series before, but had never had the chance to watch it on television. I was too young! I liked the first season, despite the fact that it …

I picked up the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a movie that I figured would be halfway entertaining but would lack when compared to other X-Men films. It turns out it was one of the better movies I’ve seen.
Hugh Jackman is great as Wolverine, a mutant with the ability …

Ok, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street was an interesting movie with an interesting premise. Never seen the second so I can’t comment on it, but the third one is just, well, silly.
The plot is essentially the same, except now there are more kids involved. And …

If you have never seen the original movie name Dumb and Dumber starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, then you are going to be in for a treat as this movie is basically a prequel to that movie. This story tells the teenaged tale of how the two friends …

From 2002, Farewell to Harry is a small story, told quietly. It has some very slow moments, but that’s the grace of the film. It also has that mystery to it, to figure out what is truth from what is whimsy. I found that as I …

Not Another Teen Movie is basically self-explanatory. It’s a spoof movie mixing the popular teen movies like Cruel Intentions, Bring It On, American Pie, and Never Been Kissed to name a few. The movie stars Chyler Leigh as Janey Briggs (who is portrayed as this stereotyped ugly and nerdy/artsy …

I want to review the movie when Harry met Sally because it is a long-time favourite of mine. It came out approximately 20 years ago, when I was still a teenager, and I still love it.
I love it so much because it is not a simple love story like …

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 …

Yes, I have watched Buried, a Ryan Reynolds movie directed by Rodrigo Cortés. And yes, I have watched all of it- from the very beginning to the very end. Now, if this statement sounds a bit unusual, this is why: I would never in a million years watch a …

Period dramas are not that interesting to me unless they are released to compete for awards. Take for example “Age of Adaline”, it was very nonsensical and boring because it was solely made for entertainment. It was presented like it was a true story but it was purely science fiction.
Dramas …

The series manga/anime series “Nana” is an absolute blast. The story follows two 20-year old girls, both named “Nana” who meet coincidentally twice, and become room mates and best friends. One Nana, Nana Osaki is a punk singer who wants to debut with her band as soon as possible …

I am reviewing The Creeping Man, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1985/1986 by Granada television. This episode introduces Science Fiction into Sherlock Holmes. A woman hires Holmes after being terrified by some sort of monster who …

This is such a wonderful movie, but it will bore those of you who dislike character studies and want more action-packed scenes. This is the story of a bunch of college friends who reunite many years later to attend the funeral of their mutual friend, who committed suicide. …

We watched a movie the other night with Nicholas Gage in it. Although I like Nicholas Cage as an actor this was not one of his better movies.

Even though famous actors such as Ryan Reynolds, Isla Fisher and Rachel Weisz are part of the movie project “Definitely, Maybe”, the actress that holds the main attention in this romantic flick is Abigail Breslin. This actress is just 12 years old and she already managed to be nominated …

When it comes to true movie classics, Back to the Future will always be one. Even if it’s basic theme is 20 or so years old, it has a great message and storyline behind it.
First and foremost, I love the Delorean, even if it’s an out-dated car today, …

Its been maybe 2 or 3 years since I’ve had another wireless service other than AT&T. Some use to always say that a not so good signal was the result of cell phone type, I don’t think thats the case, it is the result of having the right cellphone …

It took me a couple of times to finally watch this movie the whole way through. Overall it was kind of boring but a decent movie. You need to watch the movie the whole way through because the ending is what made the movie a little better in my …

I think that Shakespeare was the one to say that never a borrower or lender be. This is probably wise advice I have found out myself when I have lent out a few items. They have mainly been movies and the most sorely lost, recently, was Farscape Vol. 1 …
