The Fourth Protocol movie
The Fourth Protocol (1987) is a cat and mouse spy drama starring Michael Caine as John Preston and Pierce Brosnan as Valeri Petrofsky. Quite frankly, I just couldn’t get into it, no matter how hard I tried. It’s slow with a lot of following folks around and that …
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
MPAA Rating - Not Rated
Starring: David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott H. Reiniger, Gaylen Ross
Dawn of the Dead (1978) is George A. Romero’s sequel to his classic zombie film Night of the Living Dead (1968). Romero ups the ante in this sequel, which may in fact be better than …
SHARK BOY AND LAVA GIRL IN 3 D
It’s been a long while since I truly enjoyed a 3D movie! Most of them are gory and that is not what I enjoy. I have been watching and watching, again, a 3D movie that is really fun to watch and totally with a “G” rating. My grandsons are …
House of the Spirits movie
In South America before World War II a poor man named Esteban marries a woman and works hard in order to afford living their dreams. The film was directed by the danish filmmaker and is a very heartwarming story. The biggest fault of the film in my opinion is …
Bone Sickness, Horror film
I might have gotten to the point in my life where zombie movies just don’t excite me anymore. Take this one, Bone Sickness, a zombie movie that might have been shot with a betamax camcorder. I have no beef with low budget movies but Bone Sickness really doesn’t do …
Jurassic Park I: The Movie
In my opinion the movie Jurassic Park based on the novel from Michael Crichton is one of the great set of movies based upon his books. The animation and idea behind the movie is cutting edge for the time it was created in 1993. The plot for the movie …
Clash of the Titans movie
Clash of the Titans sets the viewer up for grand expectations, but in the end leaves after only giving the viewer various disappointments. Truly CGI and action do not alone make a cinematic masterpiece.
Being a remake of what many consider to be a cult classic, many reviews are …
Educating Rita Movie
This is one of the movies I can watch over and over again, and often do. Michael Caine plays a disillusioned literature professor who is assigned to teach Rita (Julie Walters), a Liverpool hairdresser. At the age of twenty six, Rita has decided to take care of her education …
Halloween II, 2009 Horror film
It bothers me how bad Halloween II is. Rob Zombie took a good thing he had going with his first movie and just decided to messed it all up. At times the movie felt like an action flick with horror elements. Calling this a straight-up horror movie is a …
Batman Begins Movie
Batman has been a popular icon for almost an decade. I’ve practically seen almost every Batman movie there is. First there was Michael Keaton in the firt one and the sequel and then there was Val Kilmer in the others, and then there is Chirstain Bale in this one. …

I Spy (starring Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy)

Paranormal Activity movie
The Paranormal Activity movie was amazing. I took my girlfriend to see it and we were both freaked out. There were people in the theatre crying and throwing up.
The movie starts off with a couple that move in together and the boyfriend gets a high quality camera …
Tyler Perry’s The Family that Preys
I don’t normally watch movies by Tyler Perry. I find the subject matter to be kind of trite. Additionally, it often seems like the sets are too artificial looking. The best of the best are always the stars of these films in terms of …
Spotlight (2015 Drama Movie)
I was not even aware the film Spotlight existed until I saw that it was nominated for several Academy Awards. Thus I did a little bit of my own research on it and saw that the topic was definitely something that I would be interested in. What piqued my interest …

Half Nelson Movie
Half Nelson is one of those movie that you absolutely have to watch more than once just because you can never get all the details and all the meaning from the first time. There is not a single false movie in the movie, there isn’t a single acting moment …
Proof
I normally like movies Anthony Hopkins has a role in. Unfortunately, the movie Proof didn’t have enough of him to make it any good.
Hopkins plays a former math genius who is battling senility but the movie centers around his daughter (Gwenneth Paltrow) who has to cope with not only …
Step Up movie
Step Up: yes please do. Step up the acting, step up the writing, step up the score. Above all, step up the dancing. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie, and I like cheesy dance movies. The lighting was incredibly unflattering throughout the entire running, the acting was …
Gormenghast Movie
A very unusual british film about a noble family in a state of crisis. Gormenghast is the name of their enormous mansion. It’s a more artsy kind of film than I had first expected, with long takes and innovative camerawork. It also has some interesting aspects in the mood …
The Lieutenant Wore Skirts

The Parent Trap

Jack and Jill (movie)
The first time I had heard of the movie “Jack and Jill” was when I had seen the trailer posted on youtube a little before the movie was released. I wasn’t particularly interested in it then, especially since a couple of people who had watched it in the theatres …
Westworld Movie
Filmed in 1973, the movie makes a decent attempt of portraying the future where very realistic, human-like androids serve for entertainment purposes. Delos, hailed as “vacation of the future,” is an amusement park divided into three major areas: West World, Medieval World, and Roman World; each one is populated …
It Follows, horror movie
Within the last few years the genre of “Horror” for me seems to repeat the same mundane patterns of predictability and flatness. However, “It follows” is a gripping and tense horror flick that will leave you shaken, yet wanting more.
With barely anytime to get comfy, director (David Robert Mitchell) has …
Pursuit of Happiness
I enjoyed the movie “Pursuit of Happiness” with Will Smith and his son. This was a different kind of movie for Will. It was based on a true story of a man who was smart but lost everything and became homeless. After his wife left him, he had …
UHF movie

Diary of the Dead, horror film
George A. Romero is known for his Dead series. When Romero has nobody pressuring him with his films the finished product is usually amazing. With nobody breathing down his neck with his fifth Dead movie will long time fans find a reason to adventure with the living dead again? …

Movie: “Bolt”
Armed with a unique plot, beautifully colorful animation, and endearing characters, “Bolt” was an absolute delight. I enjoyed every adorable minute of it.
Bolt, voiced by John Travolta, is the star of a TV show where he plays a dog with super powers. The catch: Bolt doesn’t KNOW it’s all …
Barbie in the 12 Dancing princesses
‘Barbie in the12 Dancing Princesses’ is the cartoon I like best in series about Barbie. All Barbie cartoons are gently, peaceful and suitable for girls. They are like fairy tales with magnificient context. But the appearance of princes, pricesses, farm girls and poor people in Barbie stories isn’t like …
Enough Movie

The Exorcist
I am reviewing the movie, The Exorcist, starring Jason Miller. Everyone knows what this movie is about, or regarding, so I’ll try to be brief on the summary. Jason Miller’s character, Damien Karras, is a priest who’s lost his faith. He has more interest in looking …
Shrek 2 movie
I’ve just finished watching Shrek 2 for the first time - yes, I know, took me a while to get to it. Especially since I enjoyed Shrek 1 and looked forward to see the sequel.

What Happens in Vegas, romantic comedy film
It is usually a safe bet to put Ashton Kutcher in a movie and see big numbers. The same goes for Cameron Diaz. What Happens in Vegas didn’t exactly change the way we view comedy movies, but it was enough to earn almost a hundred million dollars in box …

Home Town Story movie
From 1951, Home Town Story is another movie from Metro Goldwyn Mayer that gets right to the point. It has to because it’s just over an hour an length, which wasn’t uncommon for films before the sixties.

You know, I have seen the live action version of the movie The Jungle Book but this past weekend was the first time I’ve seen the cartoon version. After finally getting a chance to watch it (with my daughter) I have to say I liked the live version better.
