Featuring the comedic talents of Gene Wilder, Dom DeLuise, and Gilda Radner, this isn’t a film you want to have missed, if you like funny. This is an older film, made around 20 years ago or so, in 1986. But, it’s still worth looking for, and/or watching …

I didn’t quite know what to expect with this one. Cate Blanchett is one of my favorite actresses, capable of assuming all sorts of roles. Her role as a pedophile (essentially), teacher having an affair with one of her students was rather shocking. But …

Frances Langford had the starring role in a 1944 musical called Career Girl. Her character’s name was Joan Terry, an aspiring singer, which meant, of course, that the movie was full of songs sung by Langford.
What makes Career Girl a bit difficult to watch are a few …

Oh. My. God. If only I could write this review in caps, I would have wholeheartedly done so just to stress how freaking amazing this movie is.
From someone who watched the likes of Rashomon to My Favorite Martian on a daily rotating basis, I sadly found myself living …

Since my daughter is now in school again, I don’t get to spend as much time with her during the week. So, last night, since my wife was too tired after work to have a family movie night (her and the baby were in bed before 8), I decided …

When I first saw the movie “Tropic Thunder” advertising, all I could think about was that it was not going to be funny because the actor and comedian “Jack Black” was in it. I normally have a problem with that actor as I think he is not a very …

Hilary Swank is one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, so it wasn’t a surprise that I would the movie. It’s really dark and scary, especially since I watched it alone and right before I was going to bed. I think the reason why it wasn’t a hit in the …

Though there are no stars, Cold Case has an effective chemistry in its cast selection. Out of the multitude of cop shows, this show is unique in its absence of angry detectives that seem to be prevalent. Also, the use of flashbacks is well practiced and keeps …

Personally I enjoy watching Diane Lane’s and John Cusack’s movies and I had very high expectations for the movie “Must Love Dogs”. Although it is a great movie with Cusack giving one of his ‘crazy’ performances, however the film could have been much better if much more work on …

The animations of cars, racing, …

I don’t think I’d be wrong to say that the best thing about this movie is the dog. She is beautiful, original, and has reached heights of acting that even Jack Nicholson could not contact. And if it suddenly occurs to you for a moment that the grumpy writer melted …

This was surely the worst film I have seen in over a year. For the director to say he spent his whole life wanting to re-make this film is a joke as he couldn’t of done a worse job. The storyline is exactly the same as in …

My daughter spends a great deal of time watching some of the newer episodes of Strawberry Shortcake. So, as a bit of a change, I got her one of the older episodes of the show.
While the only noticeable difference in Big Country Fun compared to other Strawberry Shortcake movies …

One of the few comic book remakes into a like action movie that was good to me. Spider-man played by Tobey Maguire, is so believable and so imaginative, it is amazing. This movie shows how he gained his spider powers, although, in the comic, he gained his powers in …

This 2003 Lifetime Movie Newtwork film “Profoundly Normal”, starring Kirstie Alley and Delroy Lindo was really a movie that can touch the hearts of many people. I was unsure of what type of film this would be. But within the first few minutes of the film I realized what …

Indiscreet is actually my first exposure that I can recall to a young Gloria Swanson, who stars in this 1931 film as Gerry Trent. So much of what I have seen is Swanson decades later and the caricature that is so often parodied on shows like The Carol …

“Hairspray” is the movie where we see the great actor, John Travolta interpreting the role of a happily married house wife and mother with wig and all. The incredible thing about Travolta in this movie is that he really does a great job in his role. The make up …

First off let me get one thing quite clear: I’m not a Trekkie. I AM a self-confessed sci-fi geek but have just never been into Star Trek.
I like the borg, an inspired concept. The Enterprise looks cool. Scotty was amusing and Spock was Spocky. But that’s about it. I …

I just love Shia La Beouf’s movies. This is another one of them. It was released in 2007, under the horror category. However this was more of a thriller than horror.
The story is about a boy Kale(Shia La Beouf) who is under house arrest for punching his Spanish teacher …

I was surprised that I actually liked this movie. Based on the crazy family of Henry VIII, this film follows the two women who vied for his heart. One woman is full of vigor and zest. The other woman is more tame. The tensions …

I love creature movies, those scary movies where some giant animal or a bunch of tiny ones run rampant and gobble up a bunch of people. They often are free of blood and gore (something too common these days in other types of horror movies) and are just scary …

Alice in Wonderland was one of those older Disney films that I never really understood as a child. Even now, as an adult, I still have some problems understanding the themes or what exactly is happening in the movie at certain times. The original film was released in 1951 …

To be honest, I was attracted to this movie because of seeing Alexis Bledel as one of the casts so, it is not a surprise when I have to be disappointed to see that Alexis does not have enough space in this movie.
This movie is about a broadcaster named …

The Pursuit of Happyness is based on a true story. It tells of a single father struggling to raise his son in the Reagan era. Will Smith surely should be nominated for an Oscar for his role as Chris Gardner, a medical sales man, who lives from …

I just recently saw the third Chipmunk movie installment, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. I found the movie had too much music and was not as interesting as the first two but it was cute and I did enjoy it. I am not sure that I will watch it …

When this movie came out, I wasn’t really sure if I’m going to watch it or not. I am not a very big fan of teen-age movies as I am not a teen-ager anymore. But since I admire Amanda Bynes so much, I decided to give it a try.
Here, …

I watched Meet The Browns before and this is a movie starring Angela Bassett. She is a very lovely woman actress that I truly admire. It is not easy being a single mom and that is what Angela’s character, Brenda has to go through. She is a …

This was an overall alright movie I thought. I just didn’t care for it all that much. I think it was the type of movie it was. I think it could have been a lot of better especially with the actors that were in it. Jessica Alba, Mike Myers …

A couple years ago when I had all of the movie channels they played this on one of them and I ended up watching it. It was better than I thought it was going to be. I really only started watching it because there was nothing else better on. …

I’ve been into quite a lot of action films especially lately so it’s easy to see how a movie like this would have escaped my attention at first. I’m not even going to call myself a gigantic Marilyn Monroe fan but the little I’ve heard of her and just …
