The Skulls is a movie I’ve seen a number of times over the years and I always have fond memories of it. When I saw it recently though, I couldn’t remember exactly why I liked it so much. I think the movie seems a little dated, even though it …

“Day of the Dead” (2008) is something of a remake of the original film by the same name. It’s directed by Steve Miner, who has such credits under his directorial belt as 1999’s “Lake Placid.” That should have been my first hint, though I didn’t pay attention to the …

When my family rented the film from our local Hastings a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea what this “Sweeney Todd” character entailed. Indeed, the name sounded more of the same banal comedic drudgery that plagues the genre. My initial suspicions were proved utterly superficial when I …

I don’t usually like J. Lo in films. But where this movie is concerned, I could easily overlook her mediocre acting skills. This movie follows the political red tape surrounding the investigations of hundreds of Mexican women near the U.S. Border. According to the …

My wife has never seen the movie 12 Monkeys before so I decided to load it on our Netflix Player last night.
When I did this, I realized I hadn’t seen it in a while either so it was a bit like watching a brand new movie. And, even after …

It begins with a powerful, manipulative woman played by Morgan …

For me, Super 8 was surprisingly good film considering the trailer did absolutely nothing for me. From great performances to an intense build-up of suspense, it’s a very enjoyable film.

Orphan was released July 24th 2009. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. If you haven’t seen it yet you are not missing too much so don’t fret. This movie tried hard to come across as a horror/thriller type movie. In reality it was neither. It was more like a …

I thought The Hand That Rocks the Cradle was pretty good. This movie had some scary parts and was very suspenseful. I have to say that I really did like the storyline. The story is about a woman who stays with a family and takes care of the kids in …

Talk about overdone, that’s exactly what the film My Bill is. It’s a 1938 motion picture that actually did pretty well. Oddly, it’s a little disturbing to me.

Sci-fi movies for me are so formulaic. I watch one sci-fi movie, I can say that I have watched almost 90% of all the sci-fi flicks that were released in the past years because of it. Sci-fi movies with aliens are more predictable and repetitive. Aliens terrorize the human …

This movie is quite different from all the previous 007 movies starting from Sean Connery as James Bonds. First I have to point out that the opening introductory song is also different. From all the previous ones, when the music started, there were usually profiles of women dancing all …

Yeah, I should have expected as much. I decided to watch the movie 18-year-old Virgin in the hopes that maybe it would be a surprise “American Pie” like movie. Instead, it was a piece of garbage that wasn’t much more than a really bad porn film.
The movie has an …

Andrei Tarkovsky is one of my absolute favorite directors. A true cinematic artist who wanted to make the cinema just as impressive an art as painting, music or literature, and I have to say he succeeded with his mission, although he died to soon, only about 50 years of …

This was an interesting experiment in marketing. One third comic book, one third cartoon, and one third audiobook. This takes the iconic graphic novel and converts it into a sort of flash animation.
