Don’t Mess with the Zohan
I am reviewing the movie, Don’t Mess with the Zohan, starring Adam Sandler and a variety of other actors. So…how to explain this movie? There’s this Pakistinian guy named Zohan and he’s really popular. He fights terrorist groups. What he really wants to do is to cut hair, …
The Karate Kid (2010)
I was a huge fan of the Karate Kid released in 1984 so when I first heard of a movie remake I was thrilled to the bone. Upon knowing that Jackie Chan would take the place of the late Mr. Noriyuki “Pat” Morita, the thing that first hit me, …
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Movie

Movie The Strangers
This 2008 release is a very disappointing movie. I’ve seen the trailer a few times so I thought it would be a good horror movie. However, I found the introduction long and dragging. There were several “quiet” scenes where the characters were just being sad and depressed and not …
The Diamond Tooth
I am reviewing the Case of the Diamond Tooth, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …

Coco (2017 Pixar Animated Film)

Vicky Cristina Barcelona
The movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a complicated film. The setting is the first feature I noticed and loved-Spain is a gorgeous back drop for this romantic comedy. I hesitate to call it ‘romantic comedy’ because it certainly isn’t the set pattern of today’s romantic comedy, which gets predictable …
Movie Ishtar
When this thing came out in the late 1980’s, it was slammed so roundly by a mass group of film critics that I didn’t even bother to go see it. I did, however, decide to “treat” myself to a cable television presentation of it not long ago …
Wolfman (2010) movie
Since I had already watched the older version of this movie once or twice, and had some respect for it, when someone told me that a newer version was coming out earlier on this year, I couldn’t wait to see it. I had all these expectations that whomever was …

The Killer Inside me, movie

When you talk about a true vampire movie in all its essence then you have to think about one of the best vampire movies of all time and that is Lost Boys. When a family gets accidentally involved with a band of vampires they must fight for their lives. …
Scy Fy’s “Stonehenge Apocalypse” made-for-tv movie
The made-for-TV, Scy-fy produced film in question is much like the title suggests: campy, amusing and predictable. The plot is predictable enough and involves a conspiracy theorist, an attractive female scientist who becomes convinced by his vision in a pairing popular since Mulder and Scully, and ancient civilizations as …
Poseidon movie
It took me almost forever to get around to watching Poseidon even though it’s already been re-made and the original has been on the video store shelves for some time. It’s no Titanic, but it is still an interesting movie about people who try to survive a sinking ship.
I …
What Happens in Vegas
I was very pleased with this movie ! It had Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher; pardon me if I got the spellings wrong, I’m too lazy tonight to check on them. These are usually two hollywood actors who make my stomach churn, but this movie was a delight ! …

Roman Polanski’s “Oliver Twist,” 2005
I went to see Roman Polanski’s 2005 release of “Oliver Twist” a couple of days ago. I was not disappointed, but I wasn’t very impressed, either. One of the good points is that the story is not in any way “Hollywoodized,” it is told in a straight, true-to-the-source way. …
The Pink Panther Movie
This movie was over the top kookie. I don’t think it was as good as the original Pink Panther movie, because the clumsiness of the detective in this version (played by Steve Martin) was just a bit too obvious and not as offhand as in the original.
The curtain costumes …

The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
The 2004 removie of “The Manchurian Candidate” stands out among remakes of movies in that in many ways it is better than the original movie. There are differences between the two, some good, some bad. The removie seems to run longer than the original, and it does, but only …

The Outsiders movie
I simply enjoy doing reviews for old movies because you have the advantage of knowing how they effect people and very importantly what happens to the actors afterwards. “The Outsiders” is a classic movie that goes down in history. Apart from the fact that it is directed from the …
Gaslight
I had never heard of the film Gaslight until last night when I saw it on television and found myself staying up late to see how it ended.
The 1944 version of this movie, which I was surprised to learn was a remake, was fantastic. Ingrid Bergman does a wonderful …

My very favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, stars in this holiday movie, “Christmas in Wonderland”. I just saw it for the first time when it aired on TV, and I have mixed feelings about it.
