Delta Farce
This movie wasn’t all that good. There were a couple of funny parts in the movie but nothing was really funny. Nothing in the film made me laugh. Overall it was alright but I didn’t really like it. I didn’t care for it. I wouldn’t recommend it to hardly …
Wubbzy’s Big Movie
My daughter loves the show Wow Wow Wubbzy so, when we were surfing our Netflix instant movies last night and came across Wubbzy’s big movie, she absolutely wanted to watch it.
It was OK but was kind of a disappointment too.
I’m not a huge fan of the show myself and …
The North Avenue Irregulars movie
This 1979 Disney movie, The North Avenue Irregulars, is a real hoot. I didn’t see it initially, but came to it years later when I saw it on cable. I was hooked. Now I watch this movie whenever I can find it on TV, which isn’t …
Pirates of the Caribean
We recently purchased the Pirates of the Caribean on video from Wal Mart. The one with Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. I enjoyed this movie as much at home as I did in the movies when it first came out.

The Virgin Suicides
Have you watched The Virgin Suicides before..? This is one of those earlier movie appearances by Kirsten Dunst and Josh Hartnett. But if you don’t like deep moving movie stories with emotions, then this story might not be suitable for you.
This is a movie which is …

Blair Witch
I am reviewing the movie, The Blair Witch Project. So there are three college students. They set out on a trip to the woods. They set out to do a project on the BLair Witch. They interview people along the way, gathering stories and factual/fictional information. They take this …
Shutter Island movie
This latest Martin Scorsese movie is definitely not his greatest creation but is a compelling watch for its grabbing suspense and magnificent plot. Shutter Island is a movie that has many wonderful performances and excellent direction. The setting of the island in midst of the ocean and intriguing ambience …
The Devil’s Diary (movie)
The “Devil’s Diary” is a made for television movie that I caught on Lifetime Halloween weekend. The movie is about a dairy created by the devil which ends up in the hands of teenagers at a local high school.

Secrets of an Actress movie
I actually enjoyed the opening credits of 1938’s Secrets of an Actress movie, which began by having a woman’s hand unlocking and opening a diary. She turns each page of the diary until the credits reach the end. It was different and unique.
The story itself is one …
Comedy; Kenn Kington; I am Dad
I purchased a comedy DVD called “I Am Dad.” It cost me about 10.00+tax. This DVD is a brilliant combination of comedy and reality, presented by the stylings of comedian Kenn Kington. The DVD is a crown comedy presentation, and is chuck full of the most …
12 Angry Men movie
The original 12 Angry Men is a movie I can, and have, watched over and over again. It’s a contained movie, all about the 12 men who are on the jury for a youth accused of murdering his father. We don’t see the trial. We see …
Movie: Deadly Honeymoon
There wasn’t much on TV this past weekend so my wife and I ended up watching a movie that we found on TV; Deadly Honeymoon.
This was a made-for-TV movie from Lifetime I think and I really wasn’t expecting it to be any good. But, after watching it, I do …
Notorious movie
I remember only vaguely the so-called hip-hop wars between the East Coast and the West Coast rap artists in the 1980s and early 1990s, because I listened to only some of the music. I do remember the violence between the two groups, and the gang war that resulted in …

Movie Cloverfield
I finally had a chance to watch Cloverfield on DVD. I have to admit, it was not exactly what I was expecting.
I was expecting a real story with enough footage that I could actually see what was happening, not another attempt at the Blairwitch Project. Just …
Bruce Almighty (2003)
This is a ludicrous comedy from the outside but a heresy from the inside. Many Christians who are adept with the Biblical principles will definitely not agree with some ideas presented in this movie concerning God and his being. I admit some scenes here are really funny like when …
The Man With Two Brains movie
This film features Steve Martin, in a time where he was probably the funniest man in the whole world, as the brain surgeon who falls in love with a brain without a body (!) during a trip to Austria.
A quite bizarre that is totally dependent on the performance by …
Gremlins
A movie that children and adults alike will enjoy is Gremlins. Gremlins are these little creatures that are fierce and scary and evolve, magically, from Mogwai. You see, the Mogwai are fine and lovable and rather like little teddy bears, unless they have water. Once the water gets on …
Your Friends and Neighbors (R, 1998) movie
Usually I really like those films that take place in New York, and follow groups of friends around in their fabulously “mundane” single lives. This one was a little odd. I realize that the movie is over 10 years old. But I think it’s …
Dear John movie
Dear John is a beautiful and moving love story based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. It captures the new love between Savannah (Amanda Seyfried) and John (Tatum Channing) with playful tenderness as well as searing emotional intensity associated with first love. Watching their first kiss in the rain …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
First off: “The Hobbit - an unexpected journey” looks absolutely amazing on a big screen, especially when viewed through 3D glasses. Not only do the scenic landscapes cover you in goosebumps, the amount of details is also awe-inspiring. Every single wart on every single, butt ugly ork, every hair …

The Wedding Singer
I love drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. I am so glad that they are together in one movie The wedding Singer. This movie is about a wedding singer named Robbie who was dumped by his girlfriend on the day of their wedding and a waitress named Julia who will …
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (Film )
So instead of reviewing “music” exclusively, I decided perhaps I could try reviewing movies too, since I’m basically a huge movie fan too! And perhaps, as I’m hoping, my film reviews will be as much as valuable for this site too. This review is spoiler-free.
I watched “Me and Earl …

Watchmen (2009)
Watchmen was a movie released in 2009 based on the enormously popular graphic novel with the same name. Personally I have not read the graphic novel, but I know many people who have and who said that the movie is an excellent interpretation. However, having seen the …
License to Wed
For a while, comedian Robin Williams pretty much just slipped off the face of the Earth. Whenever he did have a good movie, it was more of a drama than an actual comedy. But, recently, he seems to have found himself again. First, there was RV, which turned out …
Movie Underworld
STORYLINE
This movie is about the on-going feud between vampires and Lycans (warewolves). Obviously fictional, the movie takes place in the modern era when the Lycans hunt for a human whose blood comes from a special line. Selene, a vampire, recognized this while hunting down the Lycans. She reports this …
The Cannonball Run
The Cannonball Run is almost a remake of The Gumball Rally, an earlier and much better movie about people who participate in illegal road rallies across the country. These rallies have no rules — just get to the appointed destination first and win the prize.
This movie is a …
I, Robot (starring Will Smith)
I watched I, Robot when it was first released years back and it is something that unexpectedly, this movie is super amazing. I love anything with Will Smith in it and he truly sizzles. Will Smith plays a detective by the name of Del and he is super …
Dead Like Me DVD Set
The first disk of the Dead Like Me DVD set contains the pilot plus a lot of special features. There were a number of deleted scenes, something that I always love to see. My one complaint is that there were four screens of these deleted scenes and …
300 Movie
Intense action and extreme fighting scenarios of this movie had me repeatedly saying my favorite exclamation phrases. The movie 300 DID bring the Spartans to their greatest glory! Knowing that this had happened in real life thousands of years ago (based on what I have read) added my fascination …
Baron Davis
Golden State Warriors starting Point Guard Spot belongs to the dynamic Baron Davis. I’ve been a fan of the league the last 15 years and one of my all time favorite players to watch is Baron Davis. He is very explosive and can score on a variety of ways. …
The movie Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch
I loved the first Lilo and Stitch movie. It really is one of my favorite movies and one that I could not wait to own. However, I could have been more excited when I saw that there was to be a sequel Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has A …
The movie Next Friday
This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …
Girl Interrupted
I didn’t watch the movie Girl Interrupted because I wanted to. I watched it because my wife insisted on seeing it. While I won’t go as far as to say I hated the movie, it definitely isn’t one I was all that interested in watching.
The movie follows the lives …
The Blob movie
Mostly famous because an unknown Steve McQeeen plays the leading part. A some sort of monster movie, with a red blob taking over a whole city as it grows. I thought this was a comedy at first, because the dialogue was so corny. Poor Stevie struggles with silly lines …

Roger & me
This was Michael Moore’s first political documentary, here focusing on his hometown Flint and the way politicians took it out of business on several different levels. Although I more than often agree with what Michael Moore says, I think he uses a cheap and manipulative way of convincing his …
The Holiday DVD
The Holiday is a romantic comedy that is rated PG-13 from the year 2006. It is rated PG-13 for sexual content and some strong language. The Holiday is 136 minutes long. The cast in this movie is unbelievable. The 4 main characters are Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, …
Gran Torino movie
I am reviewing the movie, Gran Torino, starring Clint Eastwood. This movie was made in 2008, and was produced and directed by Clint Eastwood.
