The 1985 film “The Goonies” is one that I have now referred to as an “addiction film”. What I mean by that term is simply this, that the film (for reasons unknown) is one that I cannot help but fall in love with. From the cast of misfits who …

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 …

Disney’s The Rescuers premiered on June 22nd, 1977 and quickly became one of the most popular films of the year, right in the footsteps of Star Wars in the United States and outgrossing it in many European countries. The film tells the story of Bernard and Miss Bianca, …

Rock Rock Rock! from 1956 is one of those movie musicals that is more like an excuse to show off the music of the day. The plot is thin and barely there, put in the back seat to the various songs that are sung.
Below are some thoughts on …

The movie The Grudge is one of the best new scary movies to come out recently. I did enjoy the movie. Although I must say it’s very similar to The Ring. The reason I saw this is because both of the dead people who come back to kill were …

Nightbreed, directed by Clive Barker is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date of the movie was February 16, 1990 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Fantasy/Horror and stars Craig Sheffer as Aaron Boone aka Cabal, Anne Bobby …

After much delay, I finally watched Brokeback Mountain on DVD only to find it really wasn’t worth all the controversy or hype.
Overall, it was an OK movie and a unique concept. Two cowboys working together for a summer fall in love with each other. And, the steamy sex scene …

Karate Kid 2010 is a very good martial arts movie. I like it but not as much as I loved the Original Karate Kid. I mean Jackie Chan is great but I will always love Mr. Miyagi. The movie is a little different than the Karate Kid. This time the …

Me and my eleven year old daughter watched this film together recently on DVD. My daughter had already read all the books in the series and had mixed feelings about the film. It’s always the same though, I told her, when you’ve read a book and loved it then …

Director Courtney Solomon’s direction in the film “An American Haunting” was well done in some aspects. I believe that he used the elements of atmosphere to his advantage and played with it to draw the audience into the dark winter of 1818. Unfortunately, like with most of …

For Valentines Day this year, my girlfriend really wanted to see the new movie, “He’s Just Not That Into You” and, it being Valentines Day and all, I obliged. Believe it or not though, I really enjoyed the film, as did everyone in the theatre! Well, at …

I have watched the movie ‘In her shoes’. The director is Curtis Hanson. This is the tale of two sisters, whose characteristics are very much different. This is a family-oriented film. The different characters of the two sisters is interesting to watch.
These two sisters are Maggie and Rose. Cameron …

This movie has been around for a few nears now but I only just watched it recently and all I knew about the Mothman was from Youtube videos which seemed really unbelievable and usually look fake. Before I watched the movie I read a bit on the real …

Poseidon is a movie that is produced by Warner Brothers Pictures. It is a story about a ship and it’s passangers celebrating new year’s eve. They are hit by a rogue wave that turns their world upside down. A small group that survives the ship being flipped over attempts …

I think that Shakespeare was the one to say that never a borrower or lender be. This is probably wise advice I have found out myself when I have lent out a few items. They have mainly been movies and the most sorely lost, recently, was Farscape Vol. 1 …

When it comes to action movies, there are none better than Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, when it comes to comedies, there are few worse.
The movie Twins is probably Schwarzenegger’s best attempt and, while there are some funny scenes, it really isn’t all that great.
He and Danny Devito play twin brothers …

I was home sick yesterday and found myself watching Star Trek Nemesis for the first time in several years.
I has been a long time since I last saw the movie so I had no memory of what it was about. And, compared to other Star Trek movies, I think …

I went to watch this movie with a 5 year old boy who absolutely LOVES Cars, Disney’s previous movie set in the same universe where humans and animals don’t exist, and are actually replaced by cars, trucks and planes.
First of all I have to say the animation was flawless, …

“Tenacious D” was a movie that I watched recently on a cable television channel. I can remember seeing the movie being promoted when it had just come out, but I had dismissed it completely because I thought that it was going to be silly, and I generally don’t find …

There are some movie that just don’t interest me either because of what I’ve seen in the trailer and the reviews I’ve read about them make them seem ridiculous or something just doesn’t rub me right about them. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was one of those movies. When it …

Samuel L. Jackson is the police negotiator who gets involved in what seems to be some kind of plot against him and his family. He is forced to take the role of those he always worked against, those who take hostages to achieve something. A second negotiator, played by …

After all the long anticipation into the final story of the super sucessful show Sex And The City and all the years of talk into making the movie- the final result was more than disappointing.
The show Sex and the City was a real hit. It showed the life of real …

A film that is supposed to be based on a classic science fiction novel by L. Ron Hubbard, however the story is changed that much it’s fair to question the filmmaker’s intentions. John Travolta appears in his perhaps not proudest moment ever, as the leader of an alien species …

OK, I have to admit that House of Fears makes me go all creepy. However, the movie is kind of dark and it’s quite irritating to say. I wish that most haunted movies would be clearer and not having a dark effect.
I am not really sure …

Pet Shop of Horrors Episode 3 begins with the police finding the body of a down and out actor Robin Hendrix. Detective Leon finds clues that lead him back to Count D.’s pet shop where Count D. tells him that he sold Mr. Hendrix a rare lizard called …

Although definitly it is not Adam Sandler’s best film, it is still worth watching to have a good laugh. In “The Longest Yard” we see Adam Sandler interpreting the part of Paul Crewe who ends up in jail after smashing his girlfriend’s car in an incredible car accident. In …

David Hemmings stars, along with Sarah Miles …

My cable company is giving us the movie channels for the weekend for free. So I have been watching movies on them lately, at least the ones I haven’t seen already. I was going to watch disturbia when it came out and then I totally forgot about it and …

Like many others, I grew up loving the book “Where The Wild Things Are”, and though I’m not a child anymore, when I found out a movie was coming out I was genuinely intrigued. How do you turn a 10-15 page children’s picture book into a full-length movie? Well, …

A blast from the very beginning! Happy Feet is a unique movie that kids can enjoy as much as parents. The lead characters are lovable from the get go, and have you rooting for them the whole way through. A small sidenote thrown into the movie about living in …

My youngest son is a big fan of non-fictional films; as a result, I get “suckered” into watching them with him.
“Life in the Artic Zone” is a narrative documentary that covers the Artic region of Northern Canada. You get to spend on hour watching life as it happens in …

Starting from the ambiguous title, this flick sets up expectations for a superficial and possibly disgusting comedy with the kick-in-the-balls type of humor. The expectations are justified. Granted, “Balls of Fury” is a parody, but parody doesn’t have to be stupid or revolting, in my opinion.
Randy, the main character, …

“A Guy Thing” is definitely the movie that made the actor, Jason Lee be noticed to the general public. I personally watched him act in another movie “Kissing a Fool” and he was great, however I prefer best his interpretation of Paul Morse in the hilarious comedy “A Guy …

The police creates a new kind of machine, with the qualities of ALL kinds of criminals. This is supposed to be a training tool for the officers, but somehow the machine manages to escape.
Very corny, unlogical and unrealistic film with fine actors like Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe wasting …

The Sixth Sense is a very fine psychological thriller/horror movie. The movie, which is directed by M. Night Shyamalan, is a wide hit across the world. The movie has Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment and Toni Collette playing the pivotal roles and the best thing about the movie is …

It really is a good movie. For anyone out there that has had a tough week and wants to relax and just laugh; this movie is for you. It’s fun and yeah it doesn’t make you think too hard, but has plenty of little jokes for those who pay …

I think Directors should definitely make more movies with plots that go around in the movie of Shallow Hal. This is a movie about looking at someone’s personal and inner beauty rather than someone that looks good just on the outer layer or physical skin beauty.
Hal is …

I had high hopes for the movie RV when it was released in theaters. The previews for this movie look great in my opinion, and Robin Williams typically starts to very good movies. When i went to go see this is the theater I went in with high hopes …

Short Cuts is a film by Robert Altman that tells a complex story including several different people. These people’s lives are connected in some way, which they audience are unaware for most of the film. It’s very similar to the later film Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson. I don’t …

From 1964, Ride the Wild Surf is one overly melodramatic movie that tried to capitalize on the beach picture craze. About the only thing it has going for it is a great cast, at least as far as bikini and surf pictures of the 60’s go. Fabian, …

A revival of the 1980 film, this movie follows the lives of several students attending the New York City High School for the performing arts. Students with talent in any of the performing arts are encouraged to attend, but space is limited. The movie follows the lives …

I enjoyed The X-Files: I Want to Believe more than any of the X-Files television series I watched. I was happy to see the characters Dana Scully, Fox Mulder and Assistant Director Walter Skinner being played by the original cast. I think it takes a lot away from the …

I first started reading Shakespeare’s plays when I was about eight years old, in more easy to understand translations. The translation which I had used was “Lamb’s Tales in Shakespeare” so plays such as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the time seemed very interesting to me. Therefore, that is …

It had been ages since I saw the classic movie Village of the Damned. So, when it came on one of the movie channels over the weekend, I had to sit down and watch it again.
Somehow, it wasn’t as scary as I remembered it.
Even though it’s really never explained …

This DVD movie, Just Like Heaven is awesome!! I love modern ghost stories like this, but in a twisted romantic comedy sort of way. Want to know why? There are already enough depressions in this world, so watching a romantic comedy gets thumbs-up first from me anytime …

When we rented the movie Bratz, we figured it would be something our daughter would enjoy since she collects the toys. Turns out, she didn’t even watch five minutes of this live-action film and my wife and I were left with the feeling we’ve seen it before.
The movie focuses …
