This is one of the natural horror (creature) movies in the “Maneater Series”. This particular one is about a man-eating tiger. I love these sorts of movies and try to watch every one that I can find. This is one of the good ones, too. It has a solid …

If any of you like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, then you have probably seen “The Game Plan”. My husband loves the Rock and watches all of his movies. I think he’s an ok actor, but I really think he did a good job in the movie “The …

If there was one movie I wish I would have seen in IMAX, it would have been this movie. Speed Racer on Blu-Ray is probably one of the best looking high-def movies available and, much like Crank, should be a part of any Videophile’s collection. But, I’m getting ahead …

This is an older and lesser known version of Jane Eyre starring George C. Scott as Mr. Rochester and Susannah York as Jane. The movie was made in 1970. I bought my copy because of the great George Scott: the moment I heard there’s a “Jane Eyre” movie with …

I was on a quest this summer to find the best comedy, and they saved the best for last, in my opinion. Tropic Thunder is the funniest movie of summer 2008. Better than Zohan, Get Smart, Pineapple Express, AND Step Brothers, which is saying a lot giving …

I bought this on DVD today, for around $15 at Target. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure that Robert Downey Jr. could pull off the character of Tony Stark/Iron Man believably. Don’t get me wrong, he …

This is one of those movies that looked really bad in the previews and yet I still went to see it. I am not quite sure why I went to see it but I can say that it was as bad as the previews looked. This movie is about …

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 …

With hollywood turning every comic book into a movie that they can find, quality has some how taken a back seat. I’m not sure why these hollywood mega moguls would sacrifice putting out a good movie. It’s not like they need the money afterall. But nonetheless, quality is put …

If you enjoy watching classic action movies, with tough and uncompromising characters, this one is for you. Despite the fact that it was created 18 years ago, this film is still fun to watch. It tells the story of a young inexperienced cop David Ackerman (Charlie Sheen)and his stern …

Normally, whenever a movie is a surprise hit, someone can’t wait to make a sequel to it and, more often than not, that sequel doesn’t even come close to the original.
This was the case of Harold & Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay.
The first movie, Harold & Kumar Go to Whitecastle …

I assumed that Alice in Wonderland would be very interesting because Tim Burton was a part of it. I thought the visuals would be wonderful and the story a bit on the darker side. I never went to see the movie in the theaters, but already I was hearing …

The moment the trailer of Mike Mills’ latest film “20th Century Women” arrived I became immediately excited. The sense of nostalgia in recreating the 1970’s again (even if I was born in the 90’s) excites me in a way that I felt euphoric just thinking what the film could be. …

A Season for Miracles is a very sweet film from 1999. It was actually one of the holiday classics done yearly by Hallmark movie, so right there you know that it is a quality production. One of the main reasons I tuned in back then was to …

When I heard they were making a Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, I was somewhat interested. But, then I saw the previews for it and thought it would be stupid so I avoided watching it at the theater. And, when I got my DVD …

Well, to my discovery, it seems that this TV show follows an alternate timeline after “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and has nothing to do with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (even though “Terminator: Salvation” does). That’s good and bad in my opinion, but that’s a whole other story …

We got a chance to watch the movie Monsters versus Aliens this past weekend. When we did, I figured it would be something our daughter would like but I didn’t expect my wife and I to be entertained too.

This latest sequel to the Shrek movies proves once and for all that multiple sequels are a bad idea. The movie is not as entertaining as it’s predecessors, and it becomes downright boring in many parts. While watching the movie Shrek Forever After, I get the sense …

Belen Rueda stars as Laura in this weird, yet spooky little film. The synopsis on Netflix seemed a little more ominous than the actual film. Anyway, I was a bit confused at first as to what was going on. But once I realized …

This is definitely one of my favorite movies. Although I’ve seen my share of horror movies in my lifetime, I am not exactly a big fan of the genre. That said, Bubba Hotep is a great movie, and one that any horror or comedy fan should see.
The …

As a fan of Halle Berry, I tend to tune into most everything she is featured in. When seeing the preview trailers for The Call, I was excited and dead set on seeing it. The previews were intriguing, but in a simple kind of way.

Black Dog is an unexpected treat. It’s a movie that I’d normally never watch or even think about seeing, except for one thing — it stars my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze. Patrick made this movie right after recovering from a near fatal accident when he’d been thrown …

I believe that the movie “American Dreamz” represent the most bizarre role for both actors, Hugh Grant and Mandy Moore. We see both there two actors in an unlovable role which is definitely something new because we are so used in seeing them in romantic movies. It is also …
