Before Burt Reynolds came along with The Cannonball Run, there was 1976’s The Gumball Rally. I adore this movie and have seen it numerous times over the years. It was unique and very different, and all of the actors were so funny in it. The comedy …
Brokeback Mountain movie
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 …

Shinobi
This movie, titled Shinobi, is about 1 hr and 56 minutes and I cried while watching. It tells a story of love, action and adventure, and there is also some violent images, so the rating R is there.
I am not sure why movies about war and romance always …

Bad Boys 2 movie
Something about the thought of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing cops makes me want to laugh, and watching the 2003 movie Bad Boys 2 I do plenty of that. Whether it’s the two characters demonstrating their “tandem dance routine”, complaining about the pool in Lawrence’s character’s back yard, …

1408
For some time, I have been pretty fed up with the “horror” movies coming out. But I decided to take a chance on both Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, since they are both favorite actors of mine. At any rate, the story is fairly simple: …
Vamps (movie)
I watched the movie “Vamps” last night for the first time and I thought that it was one of the most interesting vampire movies that I’ve watched in a very long time. The funny thing was that I’ve never heard of the movie before last night, which is a …

Almost all planet …
Diary of a Mad Black Woman
OK, when I was forced to watch Tyler Perry’s movie Diary of a Mad Black Woman, I wasn’t happy about it. I don’t mind romantic comedies but I figured this was going to be your typical chick flick; with non-stop man bashing.
Fortunately, I was wrong and this turned out …

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides movie
Is the newest Pirates Movie worth watching? A resounding yes! I saw it on the opening day. The Movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” is the fourth installment of the Pirates Saga.

A film by Hong Kong man John Woo about two police officers who are forced to work together for different reasons. Very similar to another film of his, The Killer. Woo uses a cinematic language this is very impressive in many ways, and very beautiful too. But it is …
Splice (2010) movie
Well I have to say that after watching this movie I may never be the same again. It was literally that creepy but I am not going to ruin it for whoever has not seen it but if you have you know exactly what I’m talking about.
The movie …

Disney’s Prep & Landing

Spider-man (2002)

The title picked up my attention, but I guess it was just a trick to get me to watch a boring mundane movie. I suppose it was meant to be flesh and …
Gone, Baby Gone (R, 2007) movie
Ben Affleck is certainly not one of my favorite actors. But he just might have me on being one of the better producer/ directors to get behind the camera. He cast his little brother Casey in this gritty role of a private detective who has been asked …
OLDBOY (2003) - Film
Before watching this film I knew nothing about it other than its name, and the fact it had won a bunch of awards. I saw the film’s poster, which although quite cool, didn’t make me want to watch the film itself. It was a good few years after its …
