The Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen movie
Tex Ritter starred as Tex Martin in The Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen, a typical singing western for its generation. In this movie, he uses a guitar quite a bit. This movie does indeed have several songs in it.
The drama begins when Tex and his current sidekick …
Picture Perfect
I admit that “Picture Perfect” is one of my favourite Jennifer Aniston movies. This movie is very different from the typical romantic movie as it has a very original story. The main actors, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Bacon and Jay Mohr interpret their role in an exception manner.
“Picture Perfect” is …
Interview with the vampire
I loved this film, it’s one of my all time favourites.
I’m a big fan of Anne Rice and it’s so rare to like the movie version of a book but this film could not be any more perfect.
I thought they captured the darkness of her books wonderfully. They managed …
Notorious (Movie)
There are four reasons I love Notorious. First, because it’s an Alfred Hitchcock film. I think he was the best classic movie director. The next three reasons are the stars of the movie, Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains. Rains was the supporting actor, …
Bean (Movie)
For those who have watched Mr Bean’s show once you will realize how much the situation in this movie is an invitation to disaster: a plane ride for the United States (heavens, Mr. Bean in an airplane, remember how he was in a mini car) to go to a …
Josie and the Pussy Cats (2001)
This movie is about a group of girls who came together to form a musical band. Similar to most movies that sport the music theme, this one is no different, I mean, you’ve seen one movie about music bands, you’ve seen them all. There are basically no real differences …
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Jealous Jokester movie
When Raymond Burr couldn’t film his role as Perry Mason, several movies for television were produced without him, utilizing other Hollywood stars as A-class lawyers. I really wished they hadn’t done that. It was a waste and a sham. They would have done better to have …

George A. Romero is known to zombie fans as the “Godfather of All Zombies,” according to Wikipedia. His rise to fame began in 1968 with “Night of the Living Dead,” a dystopian zombie film that garnered acclaim and criticism for its grotesque scenes and nearly nihilistic ending. Though I’ve …
Lucky You movie
“Lucky You” is a great movie about poker. I feel that, although this is a good film, it may lack appreciation from the general public due to the fact that it is too focused on poker and how a poker player can be so insensitive to the environment and …
Three Days of the Condor movie
Sydney Pollack directed this mesmerizing spy thriller, Three Days of the Condor, in 1975. It stars Robert Redford as Joseph Turner, a man who reads books for a living. He’s employed by the CIA. His very unassuming place of employment seems low key and simple enough. …

The Mechanic Movie (2011)

Film “The Attic”

This is probably the best story action movie I have seen in a long time so far. I mean there are many action movies nowadays but “Taken” have taken my attention. I can feel the intensity and the urge of every fight seen and ever wonder if there is …
Rhythm and Blues Revue movie
Rhythm and Blues Revue labeled with a 1955 release is really just a bunch of performances down like a night club show. There’s no story plot; there’s only the show. However, it is a lot of fun, with a full roster of African American performers.
Below are a …
Maybe I’ll Come Home in the Spring movie
Maybe I’ll Come Home in the Spring from 1971 is another one of those movies that aired in prime time once and then became both a late afternoon and then a late night movie, popping up on the air quite often. It’s been several years since I’ve seen …
Zodiac (R, 2007) movie
I will admit that this movie seemed a little slow to me at first. I had seen the other Zodiac movie (slightly better than a B movie) and this one was much more thorough. Jake Gyllenhaal provided a very believable performance. But overall, I …

Movie: Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is an epic 2005 film by Christopher Nolan, and starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, and Gary Oldman. This is a spectacular movie that did much to erase the memory of the horrible Batman movies of the 1990s.
Pros: Nolan obviously loves the …

Little Man Tate movie
To-date, I have watched Little Man Tate three times. It has such an amazing topic, the subject of raising and educating individuals who are little Mozarts, like the so-called Little Man Tate in the film, who I think has that eidetic memory. There is a very tasty …
Arachnophobia movie
I was trying to find something to watch last night while sitting up with our youngest daughter and ended up putting on the movie Arachnophobia.
Big mistake. And, not because it is a horrible film; because it kept me up half the night thinking there were creepy crawlies on me.
I …

Good Luck Chuck DVD

Movie 100 feet
This review is for the movie “100 feet” starring Famke Janssen (Jean Gray from X-Men). I picked it up at my local Blockbuster thinking it looked like a decent horror film.
Reading the back of the case provided a plausible premise for a horror flick. A woman is released …
A Little Princess,1986
This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …
The English Patient
The words that describe best the movie “The English Patient” is magical and fascinating. This movie, which was nominated for 12 Oscars and won 9 of them, is the director’s Anthony Minghella best movie.
