Reeker
Reeker is darn scary. You should rent this and watch; it is awesomely scary and something that I would truly opt for if you want to watch in a group, say on a scary Friday night with the weekend in tow and nothing to do.
The plot goes …

National Treasure: Book of Secrets
I love the first National Treasure movie. So, when they came out with the sequel, Book of Secrets, I couldn’t wait to see it.
Unfortunately, even though I did enjoy the film, I felt it fell well short of the original.
Book of Secrets relies on two things; first, there is …
Cast a Deadly Spell movie

The Mind’s Eye
The Mind’s Eye is a very stunning and magical movie. The movie is very unique because it is all art with music. There are not human actors or scripts. You just see segments of digital art move to the sound of beautiful music. I really love this video and it …
Wanted : Angelina Jolie
The movie wanted is fantastic. It’s got a very nice idea of having assassins with supernatural abilities to be able to focus and see from a different perspective. The story is fast paced and unfolds rapidly before your eyes. It will lead you to believe something but then another …
Transformers 2
Transformers 2 is full of action, adventure, and plenty of comedy.
After seeing the first of the two movies I was extemely impressed, and expected even better from the second. It was even better than expected.
The movie is about a young boy who has the knowledge needed for an evil …
Just Friends (2005)
I can relate to what this movie has to offer, and with the comedy thrown in for extra support, it makes this movie a very entertaining slice of pie that all can enjoy colorful huh. This movie is about a boy who has a good friend that he loves …
The Simpsons Movie
I can’t remember the last time so much hype surrounded a movie. With many convenient stores around America dressed in “Kwik-E-Mart” colors, a year’s worth of trailers and even a giant Homer Simpson next to the Cerne Abbas giant (both visible from space), it wasn’t surprising that many critics …

Scorsese depicted Howard Hughes’ …
Love Affair movie
To be honest, I cannot imagine why nobody would not like this film. Love Affair is a remake of the Deborah Kerr and Carey Grant blockbuster, An Affair to Remember. In fact, some of my friends, pretending to be experts at good old Hollywood romances, had somehow …
Please Don’t Eat the Daisies movie
A TV series came out of this movie production of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, starring the beautiful and talented Doris Day. Along with Day, David Niven starred. Day and Niven are a bit odd together, but it works really well. I’ve always been surprised by …

Hairspray (2007)
This movie is absolutely amazing.
Firstly, the casting of the characters was simply perfect. There’s no denying the newly-discovered Nikki Blonsky IS Tracy Turnblad. She can act, and she can sing (BOYYY, can she sing!). John Travolta is hilarious as Edna Turnblad, and he can really move in that fat …
“Up in the Air” Film
I just finished watching this film. I had heard it was a good film and since it was nominated for a lot of awards in the award season, I figured it would be good. Well, I was wrong, this movie was slow, boring and depressing.
…
VONGO
This is a great service for any movie buff. I love renting and buying movies but hate having to fight traffic just to get to a movie place. I tried the whole blockbuster online and netflix thing but hated having to wait for movies in the mail and then …

Bubba Hotep movie
This is definitely one of my favorite movies. Although I’ve seen my share of horror movies in my lifetime, I am not exactly a big fan of the genre. That said, Bubba Hotep is a great movie, and one that any horror or comedy fan should see.
The …
It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown movie
Halloween is coming up in about a month and, because of that, I ended up putting a movie on my Netflix list for my daughter “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.”

Crazy Eights (R, 2007) movie
I cannot even begin to explain how utterly disappointed I was with this film. Film is not even a word that can describe the atrocity of this HorrorFest movie. I saw that it featured Gabrielle Anwar. And I suppose that because I saw her …
Star Trek 1991 Cachet
As a stamp collector and a huge Star Trek fan, I jumped at the chance to get this cool-looking collectible. The Star Trek 1991 Cachet was issued by Paramount Pictures, in association with the United States Postal Service, in celebration of Star Trek’s twenty-fifth anniversary.
It’s an awesome display …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
It is a known fact that sometimes a sequel falls short of the original movie and the fans are left disappointed. This is not the case with this movie.
The movie opened up with lots of action in the first 10 minutes and it was at first confusing why there …
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
I think Final Fantasy: The Spirtis Within is half a brillaint movie. That half woiould be with regard to the look of the film. This is a pure CGI movie that broke ground with its animations. It is certainly amazing in that regard.
I think this is the most realistic …
The Dark Knight Rises film
The Dark Knight Rises is a good film! A really good film! Sure, there are a few problems with it but nothing there that really ruins this masterpiece!
The only thing you need to be aware of is that there is less Batman than in the Dark Knight because it …

I highly recommend this movie. Robert de Nero and Al Pacino play in it together. Both are great in the movie, they grab your attention and don’t let it go. You have to pay attention to the movie to really understand what was going on. The other actors in …
Unnatural Causes movie
Unnatural Causes is another of P.D. James novels put into a British movie that often aired on PBS in America. This is from 1993, giving us a bit younger Inspector Adam Dalgliesh than I’m used to at this point. He even has a love life when this …

Keeping Mum
I watched this film recently on DVD, mainly because it’s British and I love British film, but also because it stars Rowan Atkinson and Kristin Scott Thomas, both brilliant actors. Rowan Atkinson plays a vicar (again) and is very believable in the part, showing no Mr Bean style goofiness …
Movie: Backwoods
My wife and I were watching the movie Wrong Turn last night on the SyFy channel when they advertised their film Backwoods. Naturally, I assumed this would be their version of Wrong Turn and didn’t think it would be any good. The only reason we didn’t switch the channel …

Joe’s Apartment movie

Waitress
Waitress is a very good movie, and when I watched it, I enjoyed it. This is a movie about drama, and about people. How different characters in this life makes an impact on a pie-maker, acted by Keri Russell. She played the character Jenna.

Return to Me movie
Mundane romantic comedy about a man and a woman who happen to meet accidentally, happen to be perfect for each other, and happen to fall in love instantly. How many times have this been seen before?
Countless, or course, and this film is just repeating old sugar sweet cliches like …
