I really hate this episode. I am not sure what it is about it that bothers me so much. Perhaps it is just the fact that the humanity of androids is a topic that has been covered to death ten times or more already in the world …

Killing them softly is a crime film that takes the genre completely to another level. The characters and cinematography is top notch however, I found the story to be a bit on the weaker side.
Talking about camera-work, this mob film sure is a breath of fresh air. The joint-smoking …

The Bible … In the Beginning is a huge John Huston epic that tells the story of the Book of Genesis from the Bible. It’s not without its controversy, however, primarily with the opening Garden of Eden sequence in which male and female nudity is shown. That …

I watched this horror movie last night and it was much better than I had expected. I had never seen a movie about a sasquatch (bigfoot) before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’m happy to say this picture kept me entertained until the end. The plot was …

I find that with mainstream movies there’s very little to talk about. I usually get information from the culture and arts section of many a magazine or newspaper and shy away from the hype. People continue to brood over the movie Under the Skin, despite that it …

One of Us is a horror, drama mystery film directed by Blake Reigle. It actually feels more like a thriller rather than a horror film as there is nothing horrifying or scary about it.

The story starts off with journalist, Melanie receiving a call for help from her friend, Haley.
Melanie …

A TV musical makes it debut on the silver screen and makes you want to get up and dance along. Not many movies in my eyes can make the leap from TV to cinema, but this movie along with a few others have managed to do so and still …

When I first put in the Baby Mozart DVD my baby was just born and her response even at that young of an age was so positive I went out and bought the set of all 20 and am very glad I did.
The DVD’s state which ones are …

I’m not much of an animated movie fan. I love watching movies with real people in it, not cartoons! I think those animated movies are just plain childish. Sometimes, what is funny to a child may no longer be that funny in the adult context. But, I gotta hand …

I can recall the actual events surrounding this little film. Quite frankly, I was surprised to even see something like this on Netflix. But since Hollywood will make a movie out of anything, I shouldn’t be that surprised. The true story centers around a young African-American …

Disaster Movie almost turned out to be a disaster for me. My husband and I rented it the other night. I usually don’t really like spoof movies because I think they are dumb and a waist of time but my husband wanted to see it so I gave in. …

I finally got a chance to sit down and watch From Dusk Till Dawn last night. And, after years of expecting it to be a good movie, I have to say I was pretty disappointed by it.
The idea of two outlaw brothers taking a family of three (who were …

I really enjoyed watching this film. It is the usual silly movie where a guy goes after a woman out of his league, there are many of them in hollywood at any time, but this one was a little different. For starters, the layers of humor that …

I love Mel Brooks movies and I have to say Robin Hood: Men in Tights has to be his very best film.

The Dead Zone is an old movie from 1983 but I have only just seen it and it was better than I expected. Although I loved reading Stephen King novels when I was younger they unfortunately do not often translate very well into celluloid, but The Dead Zone …

Sure, the plot seems a bit “cookie-cutter” at first; but don’t let that fool you. “House” is a deeply disturbing film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Two young couples are stranded in rural Alabama. They find shelter at a nearby bed and breakfast; but what …

Some films do really affect me far better in my second watch than my first. Back then, 4 years ago, when I first saw this movie, it was nothing but a coming-of-age drama with a twisted end, one that I was so eager to watch because my ultimate crush, Emma …

This movie I found to be very funny. I especially liked the part at the end, although the scene where they end up in a window washing rig outside of a building is great, too.
This movie is about three friends who have reunited after a long absence. They are …

Scorsese’s depiction of the mafia society is regarded as a classic by many, and tells the life story of a man growing up with these mobsters and rising to the top very quickly. Scorsese uses a voice-over (a narrator) in a way here that has been influential on later …

I first started reading Shakespeare’s plays when I was about eight years old, in more easy to understand translations. The translation which I had used was “Lamb’s Tales in Shakespeare” so plays such as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the time seemed very interesting to me. Therefore, that is …

I recently sat down and watched fooly cooly. Although i did not understand most of it because of its comically vague story line. The anime has a high level of animation quality and an awesome soundtrack that fits perfectly to the action of the series. Although Watching once you …

Only You starring Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr., is a funny, charming and shamelessly romantic movie. It does not pretend to be anything other than it is, it is a movie for people who love romantic comedies, and who love the concept of romance, and believe that it …

We have a new shopping center that’s still in the process of being built and it’s practically in our back yard! It’s called Lansdowne Station. It’s close enough to be very convenient, but far enough away that we don’t have the extra traffic and headaches. It’s great! One store …

The special effects in The Triangle, part 2 (and all parts actually), are very good and are part of the lure of what is a six-hour production. This movie or mini-series, depending on how you want to think of it, aired in 3 parts in 2005. It’s …

We recently rented and watched Fantastic Four. I hated Spider Man and then loved Spider Man 2 and 3, so I figured I would give comic book movies another chance. Fantastic Four was a decent movie. It had good flow, a nice and friendly end, and of course a …
