Protocol movie

Protocol is a nice little comedy about Sunny Davis, a cocktail waitress who saves a dignitary and goes to work for the government. It’s a crazy story that is as probable as it is improbable in this media-conscious world of ours.
Goldie Hawn is Sunny, an upbeat, innocent, and …

Superbad (R, 2007) movie

Seth Rogen is my new hero. After seeing how funny he was in “The Forty Year-Old Virgin”, and then how endearing he was in “Knocked Up”, I knew that “Superbad” would be a hoot. He wrote and had an acting role in the film, which …

I love to watch movies, and I have quite an extensive movie collection going on. One of the movies in that collection that I love to watch over and over again is “Friday,” starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. Ice Cube plays Craig, a now grown man, still living …

Twister

Helen Hunt is just a good actress and I wonder whether she has ever won an acting award or not. Her appearance was very good, especially in the movie, Twister, which I watched years back. My local TV channel loves to showcase long-ago movies which had been blockbuster …

Baby Geniuses (1999)

Scientifically engineered babies are used to fund a secret organization that in turns fund a theme park. Hmmm, a very interesting situation. I don’t get it and neither will you. LOL! All you will need to understand about this movie is that there are super babies cultivated by scientists …

I was fortunate enough to see the new movie the Hangover in the movie theatre while it was still in theaters. I saw it with my boyfriend and I must admit, it was the perfect date movie. It is perfect only if you are looking for a very light, …

King Arthur (2004)

This is a rather interesting, fresh look at the story of King Arthur. Most of us have probably heard the legends: Arthur, Lancelot, the Round Table, the Excalibur sword stuck in the stone, Merlin the wizard. This movie contains all those elements, but, rather than just retelling the legend, …

Hatchet Movie

Hatchet is without a doubt the best horror movie I’ve seen in a long time. People kept telling me to watch the remake of Halloween or a film from the After Dark series, or even one of the foreign horror movies, but nothing kept my attention like Hatchet did. …

Revanche (2008): film

“Revanche” is an Austrian film that was nominated for a best foreign film Oscar two years ago. It came out in 2008, but I only got to see it last night by mere accident, without knowing anything about it. And I loved it. It had a satisfactory amount of …

Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?

I have some special memories of Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?, the 1968 film that starred Doris Day and Robert Morse. My childhood best friend and I went to see this movie on the same day that we later went to the state fair. …

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.2: Gnothi Seauton

Well, to my discovery, it seems that this TV show follows an alternate timeline after “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and has nothing to do with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (even though “Terminator: Salvation” does). That’s good and bad in my opinion, but that’s a whole other story …

Scott Turow’s The Burden of Proof - Part 1 movie

Scott Turow’s The Burden of Proof - Part 1 held some interest for me here and there, though it’s not something I would normally watch. Hector Elizondo stars as attorney Sandy Stern. Fresh off a victory, he goes home and finds his wife of many years dead, …

The Prestige

The inevitable comparisons between The Prestige and The Illusionist come, but their similarities end with the fact that they are about turn-of-the-last-century stage magicians. The Illusionist was a love story. The Prestige is a story of rivalry and revenge. The Prestige is decidedly darker, stepping down into the supernatural, …

Whiplash (drama movie)

I had Whiplash on my list of movies to watch from earlier on this year, but never actually took the time out to give it a chance. Recently though when it was airing on one of my cable television channels I decided to give it a try. I liked it. …

Let’s Talk About Sex DVD Movie

The movie, Let’s Talk About Sex, rated R, is actually a movie that is full of bollocks. The title is very suggestive, but there’s no really formal education on that, for inspiring young women wanting to learn at least something about this over-rated topic.
The story is about an …

The 40 Year Old Virgin movie

The 40 Year Old Virgin was surprisingly good. I thought it might be just a dumb comedy, but it was a comedy with heart and some intelligence. Steve Carrell plays the titular character without become a caricature. Sure he does some nerdy things like collect huge …

In “How to deal” we see the actress, Mandy Moore with her hair cut short. Actually this wasn’t planned to happen but Moore felt that here hair cut fitted her role and decided to go for it without informing the movie producers. Although not very happy with the hair …

The Perfect Storm movie

With a cast of actors such as George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Diane Lane, the movie “The Perfect Storm” had a certain guarantee to be a good movie. I must say that after watching it, what really stole the scene in this movie are the extraordinary special effects. It …

Flight of the Phoenix

My wife is a huge Hugh Laurie fan so we ended up watching one of his movies the other day; Flight of the Phoenix. And, overall, I thought the movie was pretty good.
Technically, it stars Dennis Quaid and I’m not normally a fan of his. But, even he did …

I have been waiting for Disney DVD to bring us Gargoyles for a long time! As much as I enjoyed Season 1, I was really looking forward to Season 2 because, plot-wise, that is when the series really hit its stride.

Johnny English (2003)

Rowan Atkinson’s reputation as a comedy actor is still as good as ever. What I can say about this movie is that it’s got good casting. They got John Malkovich on board. His French accented English is ridiculous but I think that’s more like it when …

Dante’s Peak movie

As a rule, I love disaster movies. I’ve watched a bunch, and many of them are on my favorite movies list. I was therefore eager to see this movie when it first came out. I remember being a little disappointed in the action. Recently, I …
