This is supposed to be a more artsy depiction of Mary Shelley’s classic novel. Paul Morrissey, perhaps the weirdest filmmaker ever, directed this. It stars Udo Kier as dr Frankenstein, the rest are mostly amateurs. I don’t know if I would call this film artsy, but it certainly was …

Shall We Dance is a very nice movie. I watched it in DVD when my cousins rented it when we were visiting their place last Christmas.

It’s like a mystery/suspense/thriller type movie with the mob theme thrown in. I honestly did not expect the movie to be as great as I though it was. The first 15 minutes or so, it will look like a cheap, predictable cliche mob flick, but it gets a lot …

I’ve always heard good things about the movie “A Beautiful Mind” over the years, but I never actually got a chance to see it until recently. My expectations were very high before seeing it, and to be completely honest there was nothing about it that I wasn’t satisfied with. I …

I’ve liked many of the movies that I’ve seen the actor Daniel Craig in, and the same goes for Rachel Weisz, and so the movie “Dream House” looks interesting enough for me to see it in theatres when it was released. Lucky for me I couldn’t get to see …

I was just thinking back to the end of the “Disco Years.” Remember all the bad music and tacky clothes?
It was also a time for making rotten movies based on the disco craze and I can barely believe anybody ever plunked down their good money to go see …

The classic story by Jules Verne about a an english adventurer who takes a bet of him travelling around all the world in as little as 80 days (which was very, very little once). This version of the story has been hailed as the best one, but I can’t …

I have remembered this movie, Vanished, since I first saw it, but it’s been quite a while. I can’t find it anywhere, and it’s never on TV. It’s really frustrating, but it was so good to watch. The plot intrigued me, and it’s stayed with me …

This is a movie that changed my perspective on life forever! No movie has ever approached its impact on my psyche. This movie revealed my history in the very saddest and unflattering terms. This movie succeeded in erasing my innocent perspective od United States History and forever cast a …

I’m not sure if I’ve seen You Can’t Run Away From It before or not. It’s vaguely familiar, but not readily in my brain. Of course, it could be the basic story that rings in my head since this is a musical remake of the classic, “It …

Hate Crime is a movie that came out recently. It is little known, but should be better known , because it is a very good movie. First off, the movie was technically very well done- good camera work, good acting, etc. I always watch for those kinds of things …

This film, which is about a bunch of wannabe …

Practically perfect in every way. That is how Mary Poppins described herself. She might as well have been talking about Disney’s blockbuster movie. Right up front I’d like to point out that my reasons for loving this movie was the music. The music stood out more for me with …

I’m not sure what I want to say about 1934’s Palooka, which I don’t think I’ve seen before, but can’t be sure. At the head of the cast list was Jimmy Durante as Knobby Walsh. I like Durante, except for when he gets over nutty. There’s …

The movie starrs Channing Tatum as John and …

The Forgotten is a movie you will want to forget. Okay, in fairness to The Forgotten and the people who made the film as well as the actors playing in it, it’s not that bad. The Forgotten is a good rainy day movie where you can sit with your …

Yet another film by the master Wong Kar-Wai, which tells the story of a homosexual couple and their stormy relationship. It ends the era of his more explosive visual style and brings him closer to what he does today. The narrative is slower, more thoughtful, but still Wong Kar-Wai’s …

Trois 2: Pandora’s Box (2002) was tragic; not in the sense that it was a tragedy, but that it was a TERRIBLE movie. It was one of the movies that is almost painful to watch. I found myself just shaking my head throughout the movie; that …

Billy Madison is one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. It is incredibly funny to watch, and it has you laughing the entire time. The movie was made for people who laugh at corny jokes. If you are not one of those people, you will not like the movie.

Scary Movie is one of those movie series where its really hard not to laugh. The only problem with these series is that each sequel ends up repeating jokes, and slowly loses the audience. The big thing with scary movie 4 is that this is not true. The begging …

I admit I really enjoy watching John Cusack’s movies. He manages to be great in whatever character he interprets. “The Sure Thing” represents one of his early movies so one gets to see Cusack in much younger version together with cute actress, Daphne Zuniga of “Melrose Place” TV series.
“The …
