Up In The Air (Movie)
One of the most anticipated DVD releases, at least in my mind, was Up In The Air, the George Clooney movie which was nominated for several Academy Awards at the recent Oscar ceremonies. I like George Clooney movies, although I hesitate to say that I love all of his …

Movie: “The House Bunny”
“The House Bunny” came from the same writers that created “Legally Blonde”; while “Bunny” is definitely not the instant classic that “Legally Blonde” was, it’s a cute movie of its own right.

Elvira’s Haunted Hills
When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, one of the people I would sneak out of bed late at night to watch was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Edwards). The so-called ‘horror’ films she showed were usually terrible. But, she made things entertaining.
I knew she …
Into The Woods (Movie)
I was waiting for this movie for so long not only because Disney produced it but also because my favorite actors are there: Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep, Chris Pine, and Anna Kendrick.
At first I was so happy to know that it is a musical movie but I was a …
Troll (1986 Film)
The 1986 film “Troll” is in one word, eerie. Now, being used to the creepy and spooky bump in the night films of the modern day, movie lovers may wonder what a 1986 movie may hold in the eerie department compared to a movie of today. But it’s the …
The movie Toy Story 2

Stepford Wives (2004)
I find this 2004 remake of The Stepford Wives movie a somewhat interesting but very average attempt with one big gaping plot hole. In the original 1975 version, a young couple arrives to the town of Stepford where all the wives are amazingly beautiful and domestic; then it turns …
Daybreakers
The basic premise of this film is a future where vampires run the world and farm humans for their blood. I thought this was a pretty interesting idea but also figured it would just be “another vampire movie”. Although I was impressed with the initial idea for the movie, …
Embrace of the Serpent (2015 Colombian Adventure-Drama Film)

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
With Temple of Doom, my rant was that it did not have enough of Raiders’ successful elements in it to make me like it the first time out. With Last Crusade, the opposite was true. It was too much like Raiders. Blatantly obvious was returning characters Brody and Sallah, …
Walk Don’t Run movie
One of the movies I always enjoy watching is Cary Grant’s last film, Walk Don’t Run, from 1966. Grant was such a wonderful talent. I really regret that he felt like his fans wouldn’t want to see him as a non-romantic lead in a movie. I …

Green Mansions: A Film by Mel Ferrer (1959)
