Paris When It Sizzles: A film by Richard Quine (1964)
In my fascination to the whole 60’s period, there couldn’t be a more concrete illustration of what it’s like to live in those days, other than movies created at that time. My own definition of a good time spent in front of the screen —“ is a combination …
Candy Man
My wife loaded the movie Candy Man on our Netflix player about a month ago because she remembered watching it as a kid and she wanted me to watch it with her. We ended up waiting until the kids were in bed this past weekend to watch it because …
Movie: Stomp the Yard
I got bored this weekend and ended up watching some movies I came across on TV. One of these films was the movie Stomp the Yard.
I’m going to tell you this right now. Do not waste your time with this film.
At one point, movies that featured dance numbers were entertaining …
Jumper (movie)
My fiance and I just got back from this movie. It was awful. Do not waste your time! The action scenes were dull, what ones there were. Annette Benning, I believe that’s her name, only has like two minutes in the film, which is disappointing because she’s such a …

Footloose movie
When I was younger I wanted to watch the movie “Footloose” very badly. I was a small child in the early nineties, and would sometimes see the movie going on some Sundays on one of the local channels, but ironically I never got to see it until I was …
Eight Legged Freaks
My wife and I were in the mood for a good movie the other day but didn’t want to watch a new release just yet (we were both tired out). So, I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks instead.
When I started watching this movie, I thought it …
Sliding Doors (1998)
I had only caughts bits of ‘Sliding Doors’ before and although those bits never struck me as very exciting, I sat down to watch it last night - I thought I would give it a chance. The concept of this film was very appealling to me as the …
Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix
Since I don’t have time to sit down and read the books, my only knowledge of Harry Potter is through the movies. And, I have to say the movies aren’t getting better as the series progresses.
I had high hopes for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because …
Movie: The Wolfman
I wanted to see the remake of the film The Wolfman when it came out at the theater. But, as is often the case lately, I didn’t have the money and had to wait for it on DVD.
In hindsight, I’m glad I didn’t fork out the money.
This movie was …
Comedy; Kenn Kington; I am Dad
I purchased a comedy DVD called “I Am Dad.” It cost me about 10.00+tax. This DVD is a brilliant combination of comedy and reality, presented by the stylings of comedian Kenn Kington. The DVD is a crown comedy presentation, and is chuck full of the most …
Surf’s Up

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
I thought The Hand That Rocks the Cradle was pretty good. This movie had some scary parts and was very suspenseful. I have to say that I really did like the storyline. The story is about a woman who stays with a family and takes care of the kids in …
Bug (2007)
This movie is one of the nastiest, creepiest movies that you are ever going to see, when I first saw this movie, and how it all got off to a slow and easy going start by introducing the characters and how they got to know each other, it was …
The Jacket (R, 2005) movie
I really like Adrian Brody. And seeing him starring in something so trippy was a treat for me. The Jacket is a really interesting film that merges psy-fi with a little of that thriller drama stuff. Brody portrays a veteran who dies, but then is brought …
You Can’t Run Away From It movie
I’m not sure if I’ve seen You Can’t Run Away From It before or not. It’s vaguely familiar, but not readily in my brain. Of course, it could be the basic story that rings in my head since this is a musical remake of the classic, “It …
The Dark Knight
The 2nd Batman movie, The Dark Knight, is a great movie. In this movie, Batman/Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) tries to stop the corruption in Gotham. He has help from his on/off again love interest Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and his good older friend Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), who basically …

Happy Feet
The movie “Happy feet” was great. I brought it for my granddaughters to watch, but I really enjoyed watching it myself. I like the dancing peniguns and the characters portray in the story line. The
choregraphing for the movie was very creative, the music was enlightening. I like the movie …

Dinosaur animated movie
Dinosaur is a great animated movie. This movie came out around 2000 or so. It’s most suitable for children or young teens but I think it can also be enjoyed by adults. I certainly enjoyed it. The scenery is breath taking. The animation is so good that it almost …

The Happening movie
This movie is film making at its worst. The plot was weak and at many times didn’t make much sense. We learn the “twist” in the first twenty minutes of the movie! There is no drama build up to the twist like a good suspense movie, …
Escape To Witch Mountain
Another cherished Disney memory from the 70s, I was thrilled when it became available on DVD. Escape to Witch Mountain is the tale of aliens who crashland on Earth. Survivors of the tragedy found refuge on what the surrounding community called Witch Mountain, because of the strange goings-on there.
Tia …

Good luck Chuck - (starring Dane Cook)
Did you guys ever manage to watch Good luck Chuck before? It was super hilarious and I kept on laughing like crazy. Just couldn’t get a-hold of myself and it has mainly Dane Cook as the character name Chuck Logan and Jessica Alba as the beautiful and alluring …
Turkish Star Wars
This movie is seriously an abomination on film. A lot of bad movies fall into two categories.
The first category is “so bad it’s awesome” these are movies that you know stink to high heaven, but you can laugh at the badness. A lot of the movies …
Love Actually movie
Love Actually is a great Christmas movie, and I watch it every year. The movie has a huge cast and features many big names, like Hugh Grant, as the British Prime Minister, Colin Firth, as a writer trying to deal with heartache of finding his wife in bed with …
Quantum of Solace movie
Quantum of Solace is the 22 Bond movie series and this time it’s played by Daniel Graig. The movie is full of action, fights, drama, thrill, and suspense. You will love the action part though. The Daniel here is not like the previous James Bond. He’s different and somewhat …

The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
Some time ago, I re-watched the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and thought it was one of the most boring alien invasion movies ever made. Despite that, I decided to give the 2008 Keanu Reeves remake a try this past weekend.
Unfortunately, while better, it wasn’t overly great …
I Robot
Whenever I see Will Smith in a movie, I expect there to be action. His film I, Robot, is a perfect example of this.
Based in the future, when robots have become part of everyday life, Smith plays a cop who is convinced the robots will eventually try to take …
Hide and Seek (2005)
Dakota Fanning is one of the best young actors today, and I just fall in love with her over and over again when I watch her movies. One of the best ones I have seen her in is “Hide and Seek,” which also stars Robert De Niro. This film …

The 1962 movie the “The Manchurian Candidate” is an excellent movie. Filmed in black and whiter, a favorite of mine, the movie lasts for 126 minutes and tells the story of Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey) and Major Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra). The two men were the sergeant and the …
The Road (John Hillcoat, 2010) movie
This is one of those movies that I would rate pretty highly, but can’t actually recommend. You would recommend a film by saying something like “Yeh, it’s great - go see it.” or ‘Yeh, it’s really funny” or “Yeh, it’s really romantic and sweet” etc etc.
For The Road I …
