UnBreakable was a really cool movie. Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson did a great job in this movie. I think that the characters were really good in this film. I was very impressed with all the special effects in the movie and everything else. I thought this movie was …

To be honest, I did not even know who Benzair Bhutto was until last year when I developed an interest in politics. After she was assassinated this past December, I wanted to know why people were in such a hurry to “do away” with her. I found a DVD …

I haven’t seen any Sci-Fi movie like this one, it’s an adventure and a thriller movie as well and you can really learn a lot about just concentrating on the film itself, like you can learn a lot about basic astronomy and the solar system, and things like so …

I really don’t believe I’ve seen many Gene Autry movies, but the other day I was bored and there was nothing, and I mean nothing, on TV so I tuned in to a 1953 flick called Winning of the West. What I love about these old movies is …

Swarmed is essentially a movie about a lot big, bad bugs, specifically wasps. It all starts with an experimental chemical that gets taken from a lab and sprayed on some wasps. It’s not a good thing. The wasps become more intense and people-hungry as the movie …

I am going to be honest Striptease is a pretty boring movie to say the least. The movie has a really slow and boring story. This is probably the worst movie ever made. I just don’t know what is wrong with this movie. I mean it’s about some girl played …

License to wed was an alright movie. It wasn’t really boring at all but it could have been funnier. There were a couple of parts that I thought were funny but not to many. All of the actors did a good job in it, especially Robin Williams and Mandy …

I’m not a huge Jack Black fan. But, I have to admit his new (animated) movie, Kung fu Panda turned out to be pretty good.

I watched Talladega nights on opening night and every show we tried to find was sold out but we finally managed to find tickets to a show that eventually sold out as well. Talladega nights is probably the funniest movie of the year. Will Ferrel is close to the …

I got hooked on the Masters of Horror series of films when I ordered “Jenifer” from Netflix. I was intrigued by the amount of gore and the uncensored approach to many adult topics. This film, however, directed by Tobe Hooper left so much to be …

The original Planet of the Apes was a unique movie that was both entertaining and made you think. The sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, was still entertaining but definitely not as good as the original movie was.
I thought the whole story line about a race of mutant …

Prior to bagging the best picture trophy, this was not one of my favorites. I was rooting for The Blind Side or Precious for the Best Picture in this year’s Academy Awards.
The story revolves around the lives of William James who heads the US Army Explosive Disposal …

Awesome, spectacular and breathtaking…a wonderful piece of animation and a dark human twist. From the start of this film it shows off its use of excellent animation of the demon boar. The artwork in this film is killer. Words cannot explain the sheer brilliance taken in the creation of …

Maybe I’m a little late in reviewing “The 10th Kingdom” miniseries, but seeing as it’s the ten year anniversary of when it aired on NBC, I figured I’d share my thoughts. I recently watched the DVD of “The 10th Kingdom”, and it’s the first time I’ve seen the movie …

Movies in the early to mid-sixties often dealt with one thing; well, maybe two — the beach and young love. That’s exactly what 1964’s For Those Who Think Young is about. It stars James Darren and Pamela Tiffin. Darren plays Gardner ‘Ding’ Pruitt III. He’s …

As a fan and frequent watcher of horror films, I was naturally looking forward to this film. As I passed the theater last night, I was stopped in my tracks by the flyer itself. It was an extremely well executed throwback to 1980s campy, horror film posters and it immediately …

I have no problem admitting that I actually like Lindsay Lohan, or at least I like her as an actress even if I don’t care for her personality or partying. I actually like her as a singer too, which is why I think it’s a little sad to see …

One of the master Kurosawa’s last films, which he completed in a time when he perhaps was a little to aged to perform at his best. Still I really like this tragic story about an old woman who takes care of her grandchildren when their parents travel abroad for …

OK, maybe it’s because I’ve never read the comic book but this is probably the tenth time I’ve tried to watch the movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and, try as I might, I just can’t seem to get through the entire movie.
I’m sure the concept of a crime fighting …

Up to 1995 we were so used of associating the actress Sandra Bullock to romantic movies. During this year, Bullock decided to show her talents in a different movie that included drama, patios and action. This is what “The Net” is all about.
The story of this movie is about …

With the return of Batman in 1992, I was glad to see Michael Keaton making a return as well. I enjoyed his Batman performance and after hearing rumors of Tom Hanks was going to be Batman, I think he saved the series. And with the return of Batman, two …
