Red 2010 movie
After I was more or less disappointed by the few movies that were about the same story (The A-Team , Go, The Expendables), I awaited anxiously as an incorrigible fan again to be cheated by the pensioners from Red . Especially since I’m always tempted to give a chance …

A Love Song For Bobby Long (R, 2004) movie
I really wanted to like this movie starring Scarlett Johansson. She’s a pretty good actress. And for her to be so young, she is really good at depicting different types of characters with great depth. This story surrounds the living situation Purslane Will (Johansson) she …

The Dark Knight
It has been about twenty-four hours since I sat down in the movie theater seat to see “The Dark Knight” and I still cannot stop thinking about it. Now, I must admit that “Batman Begins” was mediocre at best, but after hearing the wonderful reviews of the sequel, I …
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Last night I watched for the second time of this movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This movie is for all of age, and the story is about the kid who win the ticket to enter the Chocolate Factory, so it’s nice to watch by children accompanied by parents …
The Butterfly Effect 2
When I finally got around to watching the Butterfly Effect, I found myself pleasantly surprised. It was actually a pretty decent movie. Not the best movie ever made, but one that was pretty good. I liked it well enough, in fact, to encourage to me to …
Scary Movie (2000)
This movie, umm, let me rephrase that, this comedy is a spoof of some of the movies that were released the months before this movie was released. It dares to poke fun at almost every movie no matter the content, if it’s a serious movie or not, nothing movie …
The Book of Eli
My son and I went to see the movie The Book of Eli and I have to say that, had I had any idea in advance how bad this movie was, I would never have paid the ticket price to go see it.
The …
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 …

We saw an ad on tv that said that you could rent movies from home for only $8.99 a month . The ad also said that you could get a free month’s membership just for signing up . We decided to give a try , and I’m glad that …
Tron Legacy (2010 Movie)
During the late 1970s to the early 1980s, Disney produced a trio of live-action genre pictures, two of which have become cult classics: 1979’s The Black Hole, and 1981’s Dragonslayer. The third film, Tron, has become a bona fide classic, remembered more fondly in the nostalgic minds of …
THE ISLAND MOVIE DVD
I hope I am not the only person who was totally NOT impressed with this movie. I found THE ISLAND to be entirely predictable after about 30 minutes. I try so hard not to figure out the endings of movies, or what is REALLY going on, because, when they …
Not another teen movie
Can you imagine watching a lot of scenes from various films in just one movie? Sounds impossible, however the director Joe Gallen managed to do just this in his original movie with the title “Not another teen movie”.
The storyline of this film consists of a parody of bits and pieces …
Matrix the movie
Matrix the first part, of course, called just The Matrix is my favourite move, later the move becomes just to naive and simple to me, we all knew how ill the tird part finish, didn’t we?
The first part is full of the very memorable scenes like that one with …
Rainman
Ra-ra-ra-rainman. If you’ve never seen the perfectly flawless perfomance of an autistic man and his brother’s developing relationship, then you’re missing out on one of the great films of the 1990s. It’s iconic. Hords of gamblers went looking for autistic family members to take to Vegas with them. Well, …
Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D
Journey to the Center of the Earth was fantastic. This movie is 3D. You are given 3D glasses upon purchasing your ticket. As for the movie, it was quite good. The 3D effects are used well. I believe that they could’ve been used even more than they were, but …
Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016 Drama-War Film)
At the beginning of the year, I immediately told my friends that my most anticipated 2016 film was Ang Lee’s new feature called “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk”. That didn’t changed until I found out the “Whiplash”-creator Damien Chazelle announced he has a new film coming out in December called …
The Trip to Bountiful (1985)
This movie is so unusual, so unlike your typical Hollywood. Despite that, it has won an Oscar. A well-deserved Oscar, I must say.
Hollywood worships youth, beauty, riches. “The Trip to Bountiful” has a poor old lady for the main character, and the story focuses on her, from the beginning …

Signs (movie)
I really enjoyed watching this movie and have seen it twice or maybe even three times. I really liked it and think it was a really good movie. Everyone that I know that watched it liked it. I wouldn’t say it’s one of the scariest movies I have seen …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (PG-13, 2008)
This was absolutely one of the best films that I have ever seen. I now understand why there was such hype when the Oscar rolled around. In any case, I really feel that Brad Pitt has his finger on the pulse of quality acting. When I …
Cleaner, thriller film
Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, and Eva Mendes make up a stellar cast that didn’t make it too big in theaters. Cleaner feels a lot like an episode of CSI, a television show that has millions of viewers each and every week. With its CSI qualities there is more …
Tropic Thunder (R, 2008) movie
I was a little surprised by how much I actually liked this film. I really thought that Robert Downey, Jr. in “black-face” would cause some issues for the director, producer, and actors. But it seems that perhaps people are seeing about this film what I …
Anchor Man
I am reviewing the movie, Anchorman, which was released in 2005. This movie stars the ever so funny, sometimes ridiculous Will Ferrell as legendary anchorman Ron Burgandy. Burgandy thinks he is something like a god in San Diego, where he is number one anchorman. Everything seems to be running …
Big Bad Wolves (thriller movie)
I think that the theme of Vigilantism never truly loses its charm no matter how many times movies are made on the subject. This is why I was quite interested in watching the movie “Big Bad Wolves”. I’d never seen an Israeli film before and I was curious to know …
Your Highness - Unrated (2011 movie)
Sometimes I just need to watch something absurd. I know it’s illogical, but that’s what makes it so funny. Danny McBride is a master of this kind of humor. Ever since I saw him in “Eastbound & Down,” I’ve been a huge fan. It’s also …
Stargate SG-1 Thor’s Hammer
“Thor’s Hammer” is a wonderful entry in the Stargate SG-1 franchise. It’s one I always enjoy watching and that I do watch frequently.
Our heroes are divided up in this show. Upon arriving on a planet known as Cimmeria, Jack and Teal’c are transported to a dingy underground …
Movie: “Sex Drive”
For me, “Sex Drive” was an instant classic. I couldn’t stop laughing all the way through this ridiculous romp. Like most of the movies I prefer, it’s based on a book (’All the Way’ by Andy Behrens). I was absolutely entertained and look forward to watching it again.
The film …
Enter The Dragon Movie
Enter The Dragon is probably my favorite martial arts film of all time. I think that the master Bruce Lee really showed people how it is done in this movie. The story is starts and beautiful China where Bruce Lee practices Kung Fu in the great Shaolin Temple. I just …

No Good Deed (2014 Thriller Movie)
While I admire any attempt at diversifying movies so that non white actors have the rare opportunity of playing some of the main roles, that doesn’t mean I thought the 2014 movie “No Good Deed” was any good. As a matter of fact, it had the terrible luck of being …
Enemy At The Gates
No introduction to actors Ed Harris and Jude Law are ever required. Enemy At The Gates, in my opinion, is often an overlooked masterpiece. Based on real life events during World War II, the movie centers around the battle for Stalingrad between the Germans and Russians. Master sniper …
Haunted Honeymoon
Featuring the comedic talents of Gene Wilder, Dom DeLuise, and Gilda Radner, this isn’t a film you want to have missed, if you like funny. This is an older film, made around 20 years ago or so, in 1986. But, it’s still worth looking for, and/or watching …
Movie : Clash of the Titans
I recently heard about the new Clash of the Titans movie that is supposed to be coming out at theaters soon. I’m not big on movie re-makes. But, seeing the previews did make me want to see the original 1981 version again so I was glad when I could …
Happy Feet (2006)
When I first watched the previews for Happy Feet, I was apalled and vowed never to watch the movie. Aside from a recent lack of creativity as far as CG movies are concerned, the concept of the movie seemed inexplicably bland. Indeed, the type of idea that someone comes …
