Prince Caspian
I think that the movie Prince Caspian is unduly overlooked. I am a huge fan of Narnia, so maybe I’m biased, but I do believe that this movie deserves far more recognition and rave. Ever since the first Narnia movie was released, I looked forward to Prince Caspian; the …

The story about a drug dealer moving product through Mexico may not be a new one but writers Bob Fisher, Steve Farber, Sean Anders and John Morris have found a new, exciting and hilarious way to tell it.

Singin’ in the Rain musical
Singin’ in the Rain is a really good musical from 1952 that continues to thrill audiences all these years later. People remember this movie and the awesome dance sequences staged by star Gene Kelly, who also director along with Stanley Donen. I always think about Patrick Swayze …

Carrie (2013 movie)
Ever since the original movie was released in nineteen seventy six, there seems to have been quite a few remakes of the movie “Carrie” as well as one or two spin offs from it. The one that I’ve decided to review though was the one that was released late …

Matchstick Men is a film that cons you right until the end. A con man getting conned at his own game - while this story has been told in many different versions, the intrique and suspense is no less in this film than any other. It took me …
Ever After movie

Grindhouse: Planet Terror (NR, 2007)
I skipped this one in theatres. I’d seen something else that Quentin Tarantino recently released, and I wasn’t pleased. But then I realized that Planet Terror is actually the brain-child of Robert Rodriguez. This film was so much better than I thought it was going to …

The WaterBoy is a great Adam Sandler film! I loved this movie the very day I saw it in the theater. It is a great movie and one of the best ever made in my view. I think this movie will last through the ages and will make families laugh …

28 Days Later
28 days later is your typical zombie movie even though what those things are can’t really be thought of as zombies.
Basically a virus spreads and turns everyone it came into contact with into bloodthirsty savages which kill on sight. Unlike zombies though they are faster and (at least in …

Gidget Goes Hawaiian movie
Two years after Sandra Dee captured the world as the girl midget known as Gidget, the character was back in Gidget Goes Hawaiian. Now honestly, this one is probably my favorite. There’s something about the storyline that I really loved. I don’t know if technically it’s …
Movie The Incredibles
Brad Bird’s Pixar movie the Incredibles, released in 2004, is my favorite Pixar movie ever, and one of my all time favorites in any genre. The Incredibles mixes the best of superhero movies, spy capers, and family films. It has heart, excitement, humor, action, suspense and a …
Meet The Parents (Film)
Meet The Parents is a comedy starring Ben Stiller which focuses on the basic story of a boyfriend meeting his girlfriend’s parents for the first time in a weekend stay. I’ll add that this isn’t the typical weekend stay, as everything that can go wrong, basically does go wrong. …
Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie
The original film from the 1950s is about a man who returns to his home town after many years and discovers the people there have been possessed by aliens, or is it just him going insane and imagining everything?

E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial movie

Scenes of a Sexual Nature
I watched this film, very oddly named, Scenes of a Sexual Nature, on DVD last night. I have had high hopes for this film since first hearing about it a couple of years ago, as it features a strong British cast including Catherine Tate, Ewen McGregor and Hugh Bonneville …
Predators, Movie (2010)
After ‘Scream 4′ and ‘Apollo 18′ my cinematic palate needed cleansing. Fortunately, ‘Predators’ delivered just what I was hoping for. It’s especially impressive as sequels and follow ups to the original classic haven’t fared very well.
Unlike a lot of franchise relaunches, this doesn’t reboot or retcon anything. …
Spiderman
Before Batman Begins hit the big screens, I thought that the original Spiderman was the best superhero movie of all time. This movie, much like Batman Begins, tells the story of how Spiderman became to be and I thought they handled all of the backstory VERY well. …

The Flintstones
As far my concern it is one of the best classic cartoon series ever made by “Hannah-Barbara”. I am watching “The Flintstones” from my childhood, and till now I like to watch it. It is really different from any other carton show. It is a story about a stone …

The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is definitely the scariest movie I’ve ever seen in my life and that’s saying alot because I don’t get easily scared by horror movies. I know in my mind that horror movies that feature monsters like Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street and …
“Grindhouse” (2007 double feature)
“Grindhouse” consists of two wildly entertaining films, “Planet Terror,” written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, and “Death Proof,” written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Both fall into a category that can partially be described as an homage to low-budget exploitation cinema popular in the 1970’s and the kind of …
Black Water DVD
I rented this DVD to watch over a weekend. This film really ruined my weekend. A really boring film, with hardly any scenes. It should have been labeled as drama or documentary rather than horror/thriller.
