I didn’t go to this movie expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. With the resurgence of comic book movies this year, I guess I was feeling a bit burnt out, but this one is definitely worth your time if only for Chris Hemsworth’s movie-making performance.
I’m not a comic …

I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan and I’m just as likely to leave one of his movies on the shelf of our local video store rather than go out of my way to watch it.
But, as far as his movies go, his film The Postman is actually better …

When I saw the previews for this movie I knew I wanted to see it. You, me and Dupree didn’t let me down. I laughed so hard I nearly made puddles beneath my chair. Kate Hudson plays the disgruntled new wife so well you’d swear every …

It took me a while to see this one because I don’t tend to watch “Oscar” films until they have been released for a little while. In any event, this was a good film, but not as good as I thought it would be. Of course there …

I have just finished watching “Coraline” and I thought about writing the review now with the memory of it fresh in my head.
It is a cute cartoon movie, a bit too spooky for young children but nevertheless very moralizing.
I have let my son watch it with me and he …

Signs was a really cool and scary movie. This movie really got into my head and freaked me out! I think this is why I liked it so much. It starts of slow with people seeing crop circles. And then you think you see things moving outside in the shadows, …

The New Adventures of Old Christine stars Julia Louise Dreyfus. With an excellent supporting cast of nobodies, Dreyfus creates a very funny series and shows why she was an intricate star in Seinfeld.
