The Haunted Mansion (movie)
I remember when the movie The Haunted Mansion was released back in back in 2003 when I was in high school. I had no interest in seeing it then because it looked like it was going to be one of those silly children’s movies. These days, I’m a little …
Con Air
I must admit that I am not a Nicholas Cage fan, but this actor manages to get involved himself in very exciting movie projects that one cannot simply ignore. Apart from “The National Treasure” movies, one of my Cage’s movies is “Con Air”.
Why do I enjoy watching over and …
The Santa Clause 2
I love The Santa Clause 2. It is a great movie and in my opinion, better than the first part. (I have not yet seen the third part but am really eager to!) In this sequel, Santa Clause has to find a Mrs. Claus in 30 days else he …
The sisterhood of the traveling pants 2
The sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 is a movie based on the last two books in the sisterhood but the movie does not follow the story line of the books. I absolutely hate when a movie based on a book goes all out of order. What confused me …

Far Cry, film by Uwe Boll
Uwe Boll is not the best choice when it comes to video game movie adaptations. His track record is bad (I thought Postal was good) but some how he still gets the rights to these video games and makes them into films. Far Cry is the video game based …

Street Kings (2008) movie

Marley & Me (2008) Movie
I liked the movie, ‘Marley & Me’ because it’s the story of a family that learns lessons important for life from their naughty and obsessed dog. Although I found the movie to be very beautiful and quite heart warming, there were scenes that were sensitive and touching too. The …
The Mist
Stephen King movies are usually hit or miss. Some are great, others are kind of dumb.
The Mist falls into the former more than the latter. But, it still is flawed.
The great thing about The Mist is the fact you really never know what is going on until the very …

Feed (NR, 2005) movie
If you are looking for a film that is slightly off the beaten path, you should watch “Feed.” But don’t expect riveting acting or plot direction. For there is none. This isn’t a terrible film. In fact, in a lot of ways it is quite …

Good movie, and a rather scary one, if you think about the fact that it is actually based on a book written by someone who worked for Pentagon. Colonel James Burton (Cary Elwes) is assigned to supervise the completion of a new army machine - the Bradley Infantry Fighting …
The Rugrats Movie
I’ve said this once before, but any movie that will keep my 3-year-old daughter occupied for 90 minutes is one that will always receive high praise from me.
The Rugrats movie is one of those films.
I bought her the movie about a week ago as a bribe. She had spent …
Ghostbusters (2016 Comedy Movie)
Despite all the harshness and negativity surrounding the 2016 Ghostbusters remake, I was probably one of the few persons who actually couldn’t wait to see what it would be like. I was in a terrible mood when I ended up watching it fairly recently too, but you now what? When …

Notorious movie
From 1946, Notorious is a classic movie that has been respected and admired since it was made. It’s a movie of intrigue right from the start. It keeps you on your toes, uncertain of motivations and realities.

1941 movie
I remember watching the movie 1941 quite a few years ago and thinking it was a very funny film. That’s why, when I had the opportunity to load it on our Netflix player and watch it this weekend, I did.

The Marsh (R, 2006) movie
If you’re thinking about renting a rollercoaster ride of a film, look elsewhere other than “The Marsh.” No offense to the award-winning Forrest Whitaker, or the equally winsome Gabrielle Anwar. In fact, I can’t even say that I didn’t enjoy this movie. …

America’s Sweethearts movie
It took me a very long time to actually sit down and watch the movie America’s Sweethearts since I’ve never been a big fan of the actress Julia ROberts because I’m so used to seeing her in romance movies, and frankly, she has never held my attention. Thus, …
The Aristocrats Movie
I had never heard of the Aristocrats joke before this movie came out, which means I am probably like most people, since this seems to have been an in-joke among comedians that never really made it out into the popular culture prior to this film. I did find …
The World’s End 2013 Movie
Every month there’s a movie release offering at least a couple of stories where human civilization is threatened by a dark force that is ultimately neutralized with more or less physical or intellectual effort.
