The Strangers (2008)
I was surprised that the movie, The Strangers (2008) make the cut. I thought it was going to be another cheap flick or something, but it turned out that the story is real good. Masked strangers invaded the lives of Kristen McKay acted by Liv Tyler and …
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Gil Gerad returns! Yes, after 25 years since the original series went off the air it survived as a huge hit in syndication and on its Sci Fi Channel run. This was a classic adventure series will cool, campy overtones in the first season and then it …
Spiderman
Before Batman Begins hit the big screens, I thought that the original Spiderman was the best superhero movie of all time. This movie, much like Batman Begins, tells the story of how Spiderman became to be and I thought they handled all of the backstory VERY well. …

National Treasure movie
I admit that I don’t like watching Nicholas Cage movies. There is nothing wrong with his acting skills; however for me he represent an actor with a lot of contrast. I really enjoyed watching his movie “The Rock”; however I really hated to watch his movie “City of Angels”. …
The Simpsons Movie
The Simpsons Movie is the best movie of the summer so far. It is full of hilarious scenes that will keep you laughing to the very end. As usual, Homer is an idiot, and Bart is a bad influence for children. Over all the antics in …
When A Stranger Calls (2006) movie
When a Stranger Calls is a suspense thriller that really was a waste of time. Not even scary in the least and everyone knows what exactly is going to happen.
The basis of this story is incredibly simple. There is a high school girl who is babysitting for a …

“Lions for Lambs” is a very interesting movie directed by Robert Redford. In his seventh movie, Redford makes us look deeply at war and it’s affect on our lives, especially when most wars are battled to ‘resort peace’.

P2: Killer in a Parking Garage?
This has some spoilers, but believe me it is not that great of a movie, the spoilers will not be what ruins the movie, trust me.
My friend brought this movie out as something her mom had gotten from somebody at work, and said it was apparently supposed to …

10,000 B.C.
My wife and I got the move 10,000 B.C. through Netflix and it sat in our house for almost three weeks before we finally had time to watch it. After seeing the movie, I can say I’m glad I didn’t spend the money to see it in the theater.

Confessions (Kokuhaku) is a 2010 Japanese drama film directed by Tetsuya Nakashima, based on Kanae Minato’s 2008 debut mystery novel.

Speedway movie
From 1968, Speedway combines the talents of Elvis Presley and Nancy Sinatra. Okay, it’s a so-so plot and we’ve seen it a thousand times, and the characters are stereotyped and not particularly that ‘wow-some’. I don’t think there’s any way you can say that either performer had …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice movie
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, released in 2010, starts out a bit surprisingly in my mind by giving what is essentially a recap of the history of Merlin. I understand it because it is the exposition that really explains what the movie is going to be about, which is Balthazar …
What Happens in Vegas
Reading the description of What Happens in Vegas, you would assume it is like many other romantic comedies that have come out over the years, like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or the more dramatic The Breakup. But, after watching it last night, I have to …

I decided to give Ridgmar …
Carnival Story movie
The world in the 50’s and 60’s loved stories about carnivals and circuses, and that’s why we have this film, Carnival Story, from 1954. In fact, I understand a German version was made at the same time and that the stars of both movies are seen but uncredited …
Only Fools & Horses —“ S7, Ep1 - The Sky’s The Limit
I love Only Fools & Horses and I was so glad when a seventh series was broadcast in 1991. As long as John Sullivan can keep writing brilliant comedy I see no reason to say goodbye to the Trotter brothers. —˜The Sky’s The Limit’ is the first …
Bewitched
Once again Nicole Kidman has shown what a valuable asset she is to hollywood. Her performance in bewitched is spell binding and applaudable. Her karisma leaves as all bedazzled! Bewitched is definitely one of her finest work along with funny man and co-star Will Farrell. Will has shown off …
Dead poet society movie
The movie Dead Poet Society was one of my favorite movie at all time. It’s also known to be other people’s favorite movie too. I think this one is a classic for me. I love it very much and don’t mind watching it over and over again. It’s starting …
National Lampoon’s Van Wilder
This movie is a decent comedy, even against my initial expectations. So far every other “National Lampoon’s” movie has just been awful. This has completely changed my view of them for the future!
The overall basis of the movie is that a student named Van Wilder is attempting to stay …
The Clone Wars film
“The Clone Wars” is a 2008 film with the computer animated characters who would later appear on “The Clone Wars” TV series on The Cartoon Network. The movie essentially acts as an introduction to the main characters and the conflicts you will expect to see in the series. …
Enter The Dragon Classic Marshial Arts Movie Starring Bruce Lee
As time goes by and the inevitable process of growing up takes its course, certain things that I used to love back when I was smaller seem quite stupid now, especially some of the things I enjoyed like movies and television shows. The acting seems really bad, along with …

Our youngest daughter took a late nap yesterday evening and, as a result, didn’t want to go to bed at her usual hour.

White House Down (movie)
One of the most thrilling movies that I watched in the past couple of weeks was White House Down. At first, I ignored it mostly because I had read a lot of bad reviews from both movie critics and regular people. What’s worse is that it had a fairly …
Nothing But the Truth: A Compelling Movie

Matilda (1996 FIlm)
The 1996 film starring a very young and very adorable Mara Wilson entitled “Matilda” might be a film that has been overlooked as of recent years due to the fact that so many other films (that are equipped with extraordinary new visual effects) offer viewers a chance to be …

Romeo and Juliet Movie (1996)
If I wanted to read Shakespeare, I would, but if given the chance to watch Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in the big screen, I would certainly choose that instead.
When Romeo and Juliet movie came out in 1996, I really got excited because it stars Leonardo DiCaprio (who is really, …
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides movie
Is the newest Pirates Movie worth watching? A resounding yes! I saw it on the opening day. The Movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” is the fourth installment of the Pirates Saga.
In my opinion, it was easily the best movie of all four. It had vampire mermaids, …
The Deep End of the Ocean
I haven’t seen this movie for years until I saw it on television again late last year. It has a similar name to another movie called “The Deep End” and is not to be confused with it as they both have two completely different plots. Nevertheless I think that …
Twilight movie
When I first heard of the movie Twilight, I did not know of the book, and it was just a little before the first movie came out. Thus, my cousin gave me a brief synopsis on what the book was about, and from that synopsis I thought that movie …

Beowulf Movie
I went into Beowulf with some high expectations. Sure, Angelina Jolie was in it (someone I can’t stand), but the previews looked pretty good, the animation truly incredible and I have always been a fan of the Beowulf story. What could be better than seeing Beowulf beautifully …
Sherlock Holmes movie
I can’t remember the last time I sat through a silent movie. Aside from the Mel Brooks’ flick, Silent Movie, which actually had one spoken word in it, I believe it was back in the 70’s when I sat through an authentic silent film. Well, I caught …
Transformers 1 Movie
Being a huge fan of Transformers, growing up watching the cartoons in 1985, I had high hopes for Transformers 1, but I also had some dread as well. I was afraid that they were going to take a wonderful show like this and tear it to pieces by making …
