Stage Fright movie
One of Alfred Hitchcock’s minor works tells a chilling story about murders, innocently accused men and all of the standard Hitchcock components. The difference between this and North by northwest for instance, is that Mr Hitchcock must have been very uninspired when he did this. Either that or that …
Stomp the Yard (starring Columbus Short)
Before you guys go into thinking that Stomp the Yard is not worth it, think again. Sure, this movie does has its bad moments, but one word or term that I’ve come to learn would be “stepping”. This is like a lingo known as dancing or step up …

Ice Age 4 Continental Drift 2012 Movie
I will be one of the first people to say that when I saw the preview for Ice Age 4 Continental Drift released in 2012, I thought —˜Oh No, not another one!’ Not that I didn’t like the first three because I did. I loved them. I was just …

Cocoon

For years, when I thought of boxing movies, I always put Rocky on top of the list. However, after seeing Cinderella Man, there is a new #1.
Based on the real life story of Jim Braddock, the movie focused on the Great Depression and how one man’s return to glory …

The movie the Iron Giant
The Iron Giant was one of those movies that I was very skeptical about. It seemed like it might be decent but it also seemed like it might have been crap. I leaned more toward the theory of it being crap
and decided to wait until it became available …
Lord of War Movie Staring Nicholas Cage
Since the genre of movies I am inclined with the most seems to have hit a rut that it is now stuck in (horror), my shift is moving more towards those movies that involve some sort of quest for economic prowess and financial freedom, with the nitty-gritty being displayed …
Life of Pi Movie
“Life of Pi” is an enormously successful tale; and very visually appealing I think. The film is based on the global best-selling book of how a teenager drifts over the Pacific Ocean with a tiger. The two become captive in the lifeboat after the film’s vivid beginning. …
Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown movie
Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown has quite a few well known names in it, including several famous folks who play themselves. It’s a unique setup for the murder of the movie where the guilty party uses a poker game as part of his alibi, not that it works. …
The Big Show movie
From 1936, Gene Autry stars in a double role in The Big Show. As the country singer and actor often did, his ‘nice’ guy role uses his real name of Gene Autry. In this case, he’s a stuntman who sings. His other part is that of …

Showtime was showing the movie 40 Days and 40 Nights again last night so I took the time to watch it because there really wasn’t much else on TV.

Cyborg 1989 Movie Starring Van Damme

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.

Separate Lies, (R, 2005) movie

Things We Lost in the Fire (R, 2007) movie
