For me, it is hard to see what the problem is or was with Fantasia. Most critics hated it back in 1940, especially classical music enthusiasts. They felt Disney animators butchered a beautiful art form. How naive is that? The animation was fantastic and, I felt, only …

After watching the Ides of March I have found it to be entertaining, gripping, smart movie. The cast of the movies is the top of the line, you couldn’t wish for better actors to work on it. The strongest feature of the movie is in the unique characters in …

What a dark and magical film this is. I had heard things about this movie. And as usual, I waited until the Oscar hype had died down before venturing out and renting it. I am certainly glad I did. This story, placed in 1944 revolves …

Moonstruck is a great romantic comedy starring Cher as an Italian American woman, named Loretta Castorini, who falls in love with her fiance’s brother, played by Nicolas Cage. I have never cared much for Cher’s music or singing voice, but I think she’s an excellent actress and I wish …

This movie, We Own the Night, is not one I would normally watch under any circumstances were it not for the fact that someone sent it to me. Never turn down a trusted freebie, as I always say. However, it’s crude from the get go, and that’s …

The movie “Happy Accidents” should be a mix of old time romance and fantasy so that to attract both women and men to the cinema. The end result of this movie is that to achieve a lousy movie that doesn’t seem to go any where. What is incredible about …

This movie Georgia Rule, is a very heartwarming movie about 3 generation ages. One is a grandma, a mother character, and last but not least, a grand-child. These 3 characters are played by Lindsay Lohan, Jane Fonda and my most favorite actress, Felicity Huffman. She is …

Females kick butt in this 1985 follow-up to the eerie and moody Ridley Scott classic Alien. James Cameron was at the helm of this production and wisely tried to stay clear from making a carbon copy of Scott’s cult film, deciding to go for a full out action film …

When the movie Iron Man came out, I didn’t think it would be a movie I would enjoy. However, it ended up being much better than I thought it would be.

Dixiana was a musical from 1930 that was one of those love stories that combined the boy from the good side of the tracks with the girl from the bad side, only I don’t really get the societal norm of the time that stated that circus performers were some …

I do not think that I could have heard about the movie Outsourced, had I not read a good movie review about it some years ago. The review made the movie sound so good in fact, that I decided that I was going to watch it online since I …

I always enjoyed watching Charlton Heston perform in movies. Several of his movies are among those I enjoy with regularity. Lucy Gallant and The Ten Commandments are probably my two most favorite of Heston’s films.
Heston was an outspoken man. He was especially vocal about his belief …

If you love Michael Jackson’s music, singing and dancing, you will love —˜This Is It’ as he is clearly on top form, despite the fact that this was only filmed last year - in 2009! Due to the fact that he only sang a few lines of —˜We …

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 …

A parody on the presidential election in USA 2004 where animated versions of George Bush and John Kerry insults each other in the most bizarre way. Even though this is very exaggerated it is easy to understand what the filmmakers point was. However, I can’t see why one would …

I was already a fan of Jason Statham because I fell in love with his gorgeous accent. I can’t resist a man with an accent. This film is definitely fast paced. You do not have time to sit and wonder what happens next. It keeps moving and moving and …

I watched Wise Girls the other day and I was surprised that this is a pretty good story with a rather interesting plot. Mira Sorvino stars as Meg and with 2 other actresses, they play the role of a waitress and it’s quite scary to think of it because …

In the movie, Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok) this talented actor has certainly looked more mature over the years. And he does look more mature than he already is in this movie with his mustache and all. Acting as a police, he has to crack a case that he …

Of course the magnificence …

Again, we have yet another slasher film that attempts to “defy” stereotypes that have existed in the past. Ok, well—perhaps the writers and directors weren’t really trying to defy anything. In fact, this type of movie has been done over and over and over and …

A great film that I would recommend to everyone is The Wedding Singer. The film stars Adam Sandler, (also of 50 First Dates and Big Daddy) and Drew Barrymore, (also of E.T, 50 First Dates and Never Been Kissed). Adam Sandler plays a character called Robbie Hart …

One thing I’m truly sick of is those cliche horror movies where a bunch of teenagers or college age campers get stuck in the woods and are taken out one by one by a bunch of “redneck” psychopaths. However, I also have those rare moments where I might crave those …

I loaded another Looney Tunes Cartoon on our Netflix Player the other day for our daughter “Daffy Duck’s Quack Busters.” It was an OK movie but not as good as I expected.
When I loaded it, I figured it would be a cute spoof of the show Ghost Busters, or at …

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, released in 2010, starts out a bit surprisingly in my mind by giving what is essentially a recap of the history of Merlin. I understand it because it is the exposition that really explains what the movie is going to be about, which is Balthazar …

I watched this movie on Lifetime Movie Network today. It really got my attention and was interesting to watch. Tracy Gold, Sharon Gless, and Tom Irwin play in it. Tracey Gold is the main character in the movie. She meets a policeman and falls in love with him. He …

The film, titled simply with its protagonist’s surname, was directed by Phillip Noyce and has recently hit the cinemas. I decided to watch it looking for some simple, mindless entertainment: and while the film had a …

If you really really want to see a bad film, look no further than “The Marine” a serious B-movie starring WWE wrestler John Cena. As if having a wrestler headline the film isn’t enough of an indication of this movie’s suckiness they had the nerve to include …

Packed with unforgettable Dickensian characters, this film tells the story of David, a boy born shortly after his father’s death. His mother Clara (Emilia …

Sci-fi movies for me are so formulaic. I watch one sci-fi movie, I can say that I have watched almost 90% of all the sci-fi flicks that were released in the past years because of it. Sci-fi movies with aliens are more predictable and repetitive. Aliens terrorize the human …

John Q is a movie for today. It’s relevant to the ongoing struggles of a world where so many are down on their luck and having a hard time just putting food on the table for their families. It’s a movie that shows what good and decent …
