The 40 Year Old Virgin movie

Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
This is a busy movie. So much hinges on it. I think this movie hinged, moving away from a pure children’s film to a more teen or older movie. The themes and atmosphere gained maturity, right alongside the characters.
By busy I mean that this film had to introduce several …

The Far Pavilions,1984 movie
The Far Pavilions, 1984, mini-series, is based on the novel by M.M. Kaye. I have one complaint about the movie: several scenes are done in the dark, leaving you to guess what is taking place. Other than that, the movie is good. The story is about Ashton Pelham-Martyn, or …
The North Avenue Irregulars movie
This 1979 Disney movie, The North Avenue Irregulars, is a real hoot. I didn’t see it initially, but came to it years later when I saw it on cable. I was hooked. Now I watch this movie whenever I can find it on TV, which isn’t …
Quantum of Solace

Death Race, science fiction action thriller film
Paul W.S. Anderson’s decision to make a movie based on the 1975 film Death Race 2000 was a strange one. Anderson’s track record isn’t the best one out their, but with the bad advertising this film got you can’t completely blame him. Now that Death Race is on DVD …

Pink Panther,2006 movie
I went to see the new “Pink Panther” with Steve Martin yesterday. My opinion is that it’s a worth-to-see-once kind of movie. I had some good laughs, but there were some jokes that annoyed me (below-the-waist humor; thankfully, there wasn’t too much of it).
Steve Martin is a good comedy …
