Doctor Dolittle
Doctor Dolittle is a delightful musical that has stood up through the test of time as an entertaining film. Oddly, when released in 1967, it didn’t do well. Musicals were sadly on their way out, and Doctor Dolittle was one of the victims. However, it’s become …

The Royal Tenenbaums
The Royal Tenenbaums is my favorite of all Wes Anderson’s movies, and, alongside several other films, is one of my favorites overall. The script, written by Both Anderson and frequent collaborator (and star) Owen Wilson (and nominated for an Academy Award), is, in my opinion, one of the finest …
Eurotrip movie
I think “Eurotrip” was one of my favorite comedies which was released in my later years of high school. I didn’t watch it with my friends, but I remember watching the premiere of it on a cable television movie channel and talking about it with my friends when I …
The Pride of Jesse Hallam movie
I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy The Pride of Jesse Hallam, a 1981 movie that I recently had the chance to see. I just didn’t think it would appeal to me. Plus, the star was Johnny Cash (playing the title role), and usually I don’t tend to …
Movie: How to Train Your Dragon

This is a movie …
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang film

The Night Listener movie
When I first popped this DVD in, I was a little apprehensive about watching Robin Williams portray another homosexual character in a film. It wasn’t until I did a little research, and realized that this film was based on a novel, which in turn was based on …
Don’t Look Now movie
The self-taught director Nicholas Roeg made the incredible beautiful and mysterious film called Walkabout in the early 1970s, and followed it up with this horrific film with diabolic undertones. It is the story of an english couple played by Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland who’s daughter dies for mysterious …

Legend (movie)
I had heard of the Tom Cruise film “Legend,” but I never got around to watching it until last night. While, overall, it wasn’t a bad movie, I’m not sure if I was overly impressed by it either.
Cruise plays a hermit who is called on to face the Prince …
House at the End of the Street (thriller movie)
A movie that I surprisingly didn’t mind was “House at the End of the Street”. It was one of those movies that was released slightly after she had become the next big thing in Hollywood. However, I was almost sure that it was going to be very unsuccessful due to …
The Dark Half,movie
The Dark Half, starring Timothy Hutton, was released in the early 1990’s. It is a very poor attempt at a suspense/horror movie. The action is very slow, and character development is lacking.
This movie is based on a fairly good novel by Stephen King. As with most movies made from …
Urban Legend
Urban Legend is one of the few horror movies that I can watch again and again, no matter how many times I have seen it. It almost feels like the writers and producers wanted to make a movie that appeals to horror movie fans. I love watching it just …

Movie Money Train
I just watched Money Train yesterday and oh my God, that movie is awesome! Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez really deliver a humorous, dramatic and action packed sense of their characters. This movie kind of reminds me of Four Brothers in the sense that Snipes and Harrelsons …
Strange Wilderness (starring Steve Zahn)
I went to watch Strange Wilderness before with my best friend and we were just choosing it at random. The cast is pretty unknown to us except for Steve Zahn, which I couldn’t quite put a name to him. And if you are trying to find Bigfoot, you …
A Dead Calling
A Dead Calling is the kind of movie that I would only watch as a last resort, or because it was cheap. In my case it was a little of both. My local video rental place was clearing out some of their older movies, and I managed to grab …

Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace, is a decent bond film, but nothing like the originals, and pales in comparison to the previous bond film. This movie does have action, however, it is a darker and more serious bond. The story is mediocre, and mostly involves Bond getting over what happened in …

Star Wars adding to Family Guy. All I could think was when I first heard about this combination was it was going to be interesting how they could make it funny. Yes, other people have parody Star Wars before never line …

Insidious Movie
This movie is exactly what the name suggests — Insidious. If you find yourself sorting through new movies and find nothing that deserves any consideration, I would encourage you to give Insidious another look. If you are looking for a star studded cast, Shymalan-esque plot twists, or …
Made of Honor
Another new released movie, Made of Honor is one of the best movies that I’ve watched. I’m not bluffing alright. I could see the same lines of this movie in a novel and I would still enjoy reading it the same.
