Devil in the Flesh
I have heard of the movie Devil in the Flesh before. But, I didn’t get a chance to watch it until yesterday, when it was on one of our movie channels.
It was an OK movie but I have to admit, I was expecting it to be better.
Rose McGowan does …
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! movie
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! is a movie I recall seeing back when it was released originally in 1971. It starred Bill Bixby as playboy businessman, Johnny Gaines. Bixby did a fine job here, but it was interesting to me when I re-watched it recently that he looked tired …
The Man in the Iron Mask
“The Man in the Iron Mask” comes with a lot of luggage for Leonardo diCaprio. The actor was involved in this movie project after he was denied the pleasure of being nominated for an Oscar for his interpretation of Jack in “The Titanic”. His reaction was deemed immature by …
The Librarian: Quest for the Spear
Some time ago, I heard about the movie “The Librarian” and didn’t think much of it. I figured, at most, it would be a rip off of Indiana Jones and, without the great special effects and the star power of Harrison Ford, would prove to be lame.
I ended up …
My Life movie
My life is really amazing movie.It was about a couple Bob and Gail Jones. Bob is a man who have everything,a good job and a beautiful loving wife but he found out he’s dying because of cancer.The worst thing is that her wife will give her first birth but …
The Reeds movie 2009
The Reeds is one of this year’s AfterDark Horrorfest movies, of which I try to watch as many as possible since they tend to be of a little better quality than most lower budget horror genre films.
This film was set in London, with a group of friends taking …
Rock of Love 2
Ah, Bret Michaels of Poison is looking for love again. Much like several other VH1 reality show stars.
However, this is one of the few that I actually like and truely believe. Bret Michaels, with his bandanas, muscle shirts and motorcycles, does seem a bit more real …
Kiss the girls
Kiss the girls stars Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman - both who I think are good actors. It is rated ‘R’ by the motion picture association of america for violence and sexual content.

The Bourne Ultimatum
I am a big fan of the whole Jason Bourne series. I really liked the 1st two Bourne movies. But wow I was just impressed with this final and 3rd movie The Bourne Ultimatum. The Bourne Ultimatum ties in all the loose ends of the other Bourne movies. I really …
Friday the 13th Part 2
Friday the 13th part 2 is the film that really brings the series to life. The first movie was all about the mother seeking revenge on what she perceived to be the culprits behind her son’s death. With her character out of the way, we could finally get down …
Oklahoma musical
Oklahoma is a sprawling musical that has the most beautiful scenery. The opening with Curly riding along through the fields and singing Oh What a Beautiful Morning is a smiler. They don’t make movies like this anymore, and that’s a tragedy.
Gordon MacRae is brilliant as Curly, the …
Teacher’s Pet movie
In 1958, Clark Gable and Doris Day starred in Teacher’s Pet. Now, I adore Teacher’s Pet, and Gable and Day are wonderful, together and individually. Still, it’s another time when I go, ‘Huh?’ at the casting. Gable was 20 years Day’s senior. In a way, it …
The Runaways (movie)
I would not go as far as saying that I am a fan of the musician Joan Jett, since I still have not heard very many of her songs. However, the few I knew from her were done by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts and not her first band …
A Night To Remember movie
A Night To Remember focuses on the night the Titanic went down. I have seen both versions, and I prefer the old one, and am reviewing that movie here. Even though it is black and white, I think that A Night To Remember, made in 1957, is the best …

The Day After Tomorrow movie
This was possibly the best disaster movie I can remember watching. In fact, before this movie I had no idea that disaster movies could be great, since most of them tend to be b-movies. However, one of the things I learned from watching this movie was that good disaster …
Dark Ride (R, 2006)
Again, we have yet another slasher film that attempts to “defy” stereotypes that have existed in the past. Ok, well—perhaps the writers and directors weren’t really trying to defy anything. In fact, this type of movie has been done over and over and over and …
Movie P.S. I Love You (2007)
P.S. I Love You (2007) is pure bliss. I love watching this DVD each time pretty much. I love looking at the way Hillary Swank acts and she always has this rapport with the camera.
I think the camera really loves her, truly. Holly Kennedy is …
Scream Movie (1996)
As I was looking through the TV channels one boring Sunday afternoon, I came across “Scream”. This movie was one of the best movies that came out in 1996. I remember that a lot of my friends back in High School were really too hyped up about this movie …

Code Geass is a great anime that has a similar story to Death Note. Code Geass is about a boy, Lelouch, who is actually the son of the emperor of Britannia. Though he hides his true identity from everyone, he vows to overthrow the Britannian empire. …
Black Swan Movie
The funny thing about Black Swan is that I should really have no reason to want to watch it. True, it’s a film by Darren Aranofsky, who’s acclaimed film “Requiem for a Dream” is one of my favorite movies, and who also gave us “The Wrestler”, but none of …
The Christmas Dinosaur
Since we are past Thanksgiving and officially in the Holiday season, I allowed my daughter to finally watch some Christmas movies I loaded on the Netflix player. One of them was The Christmas Dinosaur.
The movie turned out to be somewhat farfetched and predictable but was still an enjoyable animated …

The focus of this movie is about a recently divorced couple and the heart aching task they go through in order to keep their children happy in the face of the terrible period in their lives. This is not made easier by the fact that the husband Luke, played …
The Lovely Bones Movie 2009
I rented “The Lovely Bones” thinking it would be more of a supernatural thriller, but what I found it to be was a very heartwarming story of acceptance and grief. A young girl is murdered, but caught in the in-between of life and death, searching for meaning and to …
Pandora’s Clock
The reason I tuned into Pandora’s Clock, a 1996 TV movie, was because it starred Richard Dean Anderson, who is one of my favorite performers. I’ll start with the girlish stuff and get that out of the way. In a uniform, Anderson is yummy. He just …

The 13th Warrior, Movie
Panned by critics upon release, and still without a Director’s Cut to see the light of day, I think The 13th Warrior is an overlooked gem much deserving of your attention. It was supposed to be an epically scaled historical adventure based on Michael Crichton’s book The Eaters of the …
Last Holiday
The movie “Last Holiday” (2006) helped me to see Queen Latifah in a new way. It is a good story, and she fits right into it, delivering a funny and at the same time touching performance. She plays Georgia, a middle class woman who has a list of things …
Forever Lulu movie
Forever Lulu is a 2000 movie that took forever to be released. In fact, the independent picture never did make a real theatrical run and was ultimately released on DVD. However, while foreign titles went under the film name of Forever Lulu, in the United States, the …
Yours, Mine and Ours (2005 Film)
While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …
Not Another Teen Movie

Go movie
I didn’t hear about the movie “Go” until some time ago when I was still in high school. At first I thought it was just going to be a silly movie so I didn;t watch it at the time, but about a year and a half later I was …

No Country for Old Men (2007)
From the beginning scene of the aftermath of a violent drug scene gone bad through the end this movie features a series of violent scenes. All the men seem bent on men trying to cowboy up and deal with the problem in true Texas fashion: with more violence. Don’t …
Jaws
Jaws is probably one of the scariest movies ever made. And Jaws is also the reason I’m scared to go in the water when I’m at the beach. This movie can really scare people and really make you feel uncomfortable. I really did enjoy the music in jaws. The …
New Capitol Cinema
I don’t watch movies often but when I do, I prefer it to be a good experience. In all my years of stay here in Botswana I have been a few times to the movie house. I must say I am impressed with the system here. It’s probably better …

Rambo takes place 20 years after the last Rambo. Since then John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) has went to northers Thailand and …
United 93 movie
“United 93″ is a movie about 9/11. Depend on what is left in the cockpit’s tape, the editor tried as hard as he could to put what really happened in United 93 into the screen. Passengers are stranger to each other when they get into the plane. They stand …
The Abyss
It’s an oldie but a goodie, in my book. The Abyss, 1989, stars Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Ed Harris as part of a civilian diving team hired by the military to search for a lost submarin carrying nuclear warheads. When the team, both civilian and military, are disconnected from …

The Deaths of Ian Stone Movie
The Deaths of Ian Stone is one of the more interesting movies released as part of the After Dark Horror Fest series of horror movies. I’ve heard from a lot of people that the movie was just plain bad, or that they hated it. I didn’t hate it, but …
Non-stop (2014 Film)
Non stop is one of those movies that does a great job in making you paranoid in your everyday routine. After watching it, I was left with deep thoughts and a deeper insight about flying on airplanes. It’s said to be an action, mystery, thriller. Seeing that Liam Neeson was …
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …
The Distinguished Gentleman (1992)
Eddie Murphy takes on the character role of a con man with a famous name, with a name like Thomas Jefferson Johnson, his name could easily be confused with that of a senator or congressman, and being a con man, he uses this to his advantage when the current …
