An all star cast of the some of the best actors and actresses in Hollywood. With Gary Oldman as Dracula, the legendary Sir Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing, the better known comedian Cary Elwes as some rich character’s name I can’t even remember, Winona Ryder as Mina (soon to …
The Barretts of Wimpole Street movie
From 1934, The Barretts of Wimpole Street is a very nice movie, though I must admit I prefer one of the remakes better. Still, this was the one that started it all, and there are some fine moments to it.
I love that Flush, the dog, gets star billing …
The Dead Zone
King adaptations are hit or miss. You have classics like “The Shining” or “Misery” and you have stinkers like “The Sleepwalkers” or “Tommyknockers”. There are also movies that fall between and all across the cinematic quality spectrum.
“The Dead Zone” is one of the better ones. David …
The Mist Movie
The Mist is a very interesting movie to say the least. It kept me on my toes and is very intense. At times the acting could be a little cheesy but heck, sometimes you just want to be entertained and it definitely does that.
I just wish Stephen …
The September Issue (2009)
‘The September Issue’ is a feature length, fly-on-the-wall documentary about the making of the September 2007 issue of Vogue Magazine. This would be of interest to anyone wanting to see what the real Anna Wintour is like - editor-in-chief of Vogue - rather than the bitch that Meryl …
House Broken
Housebroken is a movie about parents who want their kids to move out. Well one parent who is played by Danny Devito, the mother (Katey Segal) is content with letting her twenty-ish sons mooch off her and her husband.
The appearance of the DVD cover led me to believe …
Batman Returns 1992 Movie
With the return of Batman in 1992, I was glad to see Michael Keaton making a return as well. I enjoyed his Batman performance and after hearing rumors of Tom Hanks was going to be Batman, I think he saved the series. And with the return of Batman, two …
Girl Positive movie
I’ve honestly never sat down to watch Lifetime movies before. But, after seeing the movie Girl Positive, I think I’ll be doing that more often.
At first, I didn’t know what to think about the movie, which is meant to be an honest portrayal of how the HIV virus can …
Movie: The Last Song
I’m not really sure how the movie The Last Song got on my Netflix list but it ended up coming in the mail the other day. Personally, I think my wife must have added it because, while I don’t dislike Miley Cyrus, the movie sounded a heck of a …
Babel (R, 2006) movie
It took me a while to actually rent this movie. I knew that anything starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett would be really interesting. This movie did not disappoint. Following a couple who’s vacationing in and through Morocco, the audience gets to witness the aftermath occurring …
Horror Express movie
I was digging through our movie cabinet a couple days ago (trying to find my daughter’s missing Nintendo DS) when I came across the movie Horror Express.
To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t even remember picking up this movie. I think my wife bought it for me from …
Les Miserables (2012 movie)
The experience I had with this movie was the same I had with my previously watched movies based on Novels, which was out of the world. I don’t know why I found novel based movies so interesting and exciting. Perhaps, it’s because novel writers have some great skills to …
Ocean’s 8 movie
I love going to the cinema to watch new movies, however, a lot of the new movies turn out to be quite disappointing. Ocean’s 8 is one of those movies that can be both phenomenal and boring, so you don’t know what you’re going to get when you buy a …
300, Zack Snyder Movie
‘Sin City’ (2005) works of Robert Rodriguez (Desperado) is considered as works of the ground-breaking because dare to raise with the image panel in the graphic novel Frank Miller works are in full into the cinema screen, so it seems we are witnessing a comic image a living. Now, …
John C. Reilly
I have just rented “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” but have not watched it yet. But if the movie is anywhere near as funny as this guy is when he’s in a comedic role, then I am sure that I will be guffawing a lot throughout. …
Asterix and the Olympics
First, I can’t remember the first Asterix movie I watched, but I remember it was very funny. I’m disappointed by this one though, more details later. If you’ve read their comics, then you know that Asterix and Obelix are a lovable character from the Gaul village in …
Dukes of Hazzard
From the previews, the movie, Dukes of Hazzard, looks absolutely stupid and something I would never watch in a million years.
Well, I did wind up watching it and was surprised at just how funny it was.
The Dukes of Hazzard is an entertaining film that essentially spoofs the television series …
Film Coraline
I have just watched the film Coraline and I must say it was quite charming. If you have seen the trailer, this movie may seem as if it is intended for just a younger audience, but that is not the case. While it does a good job at …
Images of Bruce Lee
Has Bruce Lee ever made a bad movie? Well, yes and no, he hasn’t. The movies starring Bruce Lee himself, yes they were awesome, and they still are. But after Bruce’s untimely death during the filming of the Crow, several savvy B-movie directors decided that they could easily capitalize …
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Atlantis The Lost Empire is one of my all time favorite animated films. I think the scenes in this movie are just breathe taking. I was very impressed with how cool Atlantis looked in the movie. Atlantis The Lost Empire really paints a great image of what Atlantis probably really …
Untitled Bryan Singer Thriller
I am sorry, it should be moved to another side a solid place; then, Hitler watch humpback ninety maps, bomb explosions rock blocked the shock table, side table, four individuals died on the spot, Hitler big frightened, but unharmed.
For Stauffenberg’s assassination of action, something very few characters, even if …
A Christmas Carol
One of the first movies I ended up watching on Christmas Eve was George C. Scott’s version of Ebeneezer Scrooge in the 80s remake of A Christmas Carol. And, in my opinion, this remains one of the better tellings of the classic story.
Scott is perfect as Scrooge. He’s the …
Burn After Reading
Is it me? Or are all the movies for 2008 a flop? Now automatically I assume, you put Brad Pitt and George Clooney together on screen, and there should be magic………….sweet sweet magic…Boy was I in for a treat…….a very bad tasting treat after watching Burn After Reading…..maybe …
Tale of Despereaux movie
Synopsis: A young mouse and his rat friend swear an oath to help a princess.
What I liked about this movie: While there were quite a few things I didn’t like about this movie (more on that later), I will say the film did have its moments.
For one, Despereaux definitely …

Ghost Rider (2007)
Hollywood production of the legendary comic book fiery skulled, chain wielding, soul stealing, flame wheeled bike riding, bringer of death. The movie remake of the comic once again as Hollywood always does is true injustice. The never, ever capture the real identity of the comic book character to portray …
The Avengers (2012 movie)
The Avengers was, to put it lightly, absolutely epic. I’ve never been that interested in superhero movies, games, or comics, but this action film was incredible. The way the action blended perfectly with the story line meant that I was captivated for the entire time, even though it’s a …
The Reef (thriller movie)
So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …
Wolf Movie
I love werewolf movies. But, until last night, I had never seen the 1994 film, Wolf.
Well, I finally got a chance to see it and found it really wasn’t worth the wait.
Jack Nicholson is pretty decent as a business man who gets bit by a wolf and starts turning …
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (movie)
I generally like watching Justice League movies, so when I heard of the Flashpoint Paradox, I couldn’t wait to find the time to actually sit down and watch it. I didn’t even read up on the plot of it either, I just decided to leave everything to surprise this …
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Movie
I have been a fan of Peter Jackson’s movies ever since the first “Lord of the Rings” movie came out - “The Fellowship of the ring”. And I think that with “The Hobbit” trilogy that he is now making I was again able to return to the amazing fantasy …
The Bourne Ultimatum
I have to say, this movie really did live up to my expectations. Third in the series that also includes The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, this movie follows Jason Bourne as he seeks out the people who made him what he has become and gradually “all …
Enchanted
Produced by Walt Disney and directed by Kevin Lima, the movie Enchanted is truly enchanting. Starring Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, Susan Sarandon, and James Marsden, this partly animated fairy tale is the story of a beautiful girl named Giselle (Amy Adams) who sings about finding her true love. Sure …
Virgin Territory
The best way to describe “Virgin Territory” is a sort of young and funny version of “First Knight”. What is interesting in this movie is that the lead actors, Hayden Christensen and Misha Barton used this movie as a way to open their path for a Hollywood career.
At the …
Nabari No Ou Episode 1

Billy Elliot
I enjoyed watching Billy Elliot. This was a couple of years back but I watched it again recently, since my cousin has a copy of it. I came across it at her house the other day and thought of watching it again. A very moving, sweeping and …
Bicentennial Man movie
This Robin Williams movie was a delightful surprise. I wasn’t expecting to like Bicentennial Man at all. Williams may be a terrific comic, but his films don’t usually thrill me personally. There are exceptions, of course, like Awakenings, which is why I decided to give this flick …
Norbit
When I first watched the movie Norbit, in the theater, I wasn’t really impressed by it. However, after watching it again last night, I have to admit I found it a lot better on DVD.
My biggest objection to Norbit the first time I watched it is I felt it …
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
A british comedy that stars the likes of Mos Def, Martin Freeman, Zooey Deschanel, John Malkovich, Bill Nighy, Sam Rockwell and the voice of Alan Rickman as a melodramatic robot.
It’s a love story/action/drama/mystery/comedy/horror film all rolled up in a nice bundle with a very long name as the title. …
Wall-E
I quickly became a fan of the movie Finding Nemo shortly after Pixar released it. I not only liked the story but fell in love with the characters. I don’t know how many times I watched it. I must have watched enough to memorize most of its quotes. I …

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
I have noticed that many people who have reviewed Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen in papers and on the internet have not given it the greatest reviews. I went and saw the movie for myself and I do not completely agree with the reviews. Yes, the movie is …

Movie: Backwoods
My wife and I were watching the movie Wrong Turn last night on the SyFy channel when they advertised their film Backwoods. Naturally, I assumed this would be their version of Wrong Turn and didn’t think it would be any good. The only reason we didn’t switch the channel …
