Wanted Movie
I saw all of the previews and trailers for Wanted with Angelina Jolie as Fox and Morgan Freeman as Sloan, so I felt I had to go see this movie in the theatre and could not wait until it comes to DVD. I like the way the movie introduced …

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
I had been waiting for The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 to come out in DVD, because I love any movie that Denzel Washington does, and I had heard that this remake was excellent and spell-binding. I had also heard that John Travolta played a complicated, evil character, …
A Walk To Remember
When my friends and I talked about the movie A Walk To Remember each time, we would always remember the truly sad ending to this story. I am a hopeless romantic and I find myself knowing what’s going to be the ending to this really sad and romantic movie …
Big film
“Big” is a classic 1988 movie starring Tom Hanks. It really elevated Hanks to stardom as an everyman who most people can relate to. Looking back on it now, there are some weak plot points, but the movie also has some iconic scenes that one will not …
Sweet Home Alabama
Oh I love this movie ! The chemistry between the characters is apparent during the film and I love the story line and plot; the characters are round and not two dimensional, in other words there is a lot to uncover about the characters as the story moves on. …
You, Me and Dupree movie
I’ve seen this movie just recently, I like the film sine it is based on friendship and love. Its a nice story to watch because it has its morals and lessons that points out in the story but I don’t think that its a good movie to watch for …
The Danish Girl (2015 Film)
Period dramas are not that interesting to me unless they are released to compete for awards. Take for example “Age of Adaline”, it was very nonsensical and boring because it was solely made for entertainment. It was presented like it was a true story but it was purely science fiction.
Dramas …

The Nutty Professor, directed by Tom Shadyac is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for crude humor and sexual references.

Sex Tape (comedy movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Sex Tape for the very first time, I knew almost immediately that it wasn’t going to be very good. Nevertheless, I was still interested in the premise surrounding the film, which was the idea of a married couple accidentally releasing a Sex …
The Hound of the Baskervilles movie
Jeremy Brett in the role as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as dr Watson. This is a tv produced film that preceded the very popular series, and Jeremy Brett is in my opinion the best actor to appear as the mastermind next to Basil Rathbone (of course).
The classic story …
Shinobi
Amazing culture and imagination always represented Japan.This movie is one reason why.With only a fraction of the budged of all-day American high-rated movie,Shinobi turned out a great story to watch.It is happening in the XVI century,where two mysterious rival clans of a breed of fighters called Shinobi are put …
Carnage (1984) movie

For Richard, the stud (Ryan Gosling), boredom appears to be the major …
Dark Shadows by Tim Burton (2012)
The last thing I want to watch in a movie is another self-defying Johnny Depp playing just about any grotesque role Hollywood throws at him. Well I wound up watching just that, and the current addition to Depp’s collection of fantasy characters is Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows. …
The Miracle of Sound
You never know what you are going to get when you watch a classic film short. The purposes behind these productions, which last anywhere from just a few minutes to a half-hour or so, is varied. The one I watched this evening is from 1940 and is …
The 40 Year Old Virgin
The 40 Year Old Virgin with Steve Carell.
This is one funny movie. If it were a 40 year old woman virgin, it would definitely not be that funny; but putting a normal looking man into this predicament is full of hilarious opportunities.
…
Fall from Grace Movie Documentary
Fall from Grace is a disturbing documentary about an even more disturbing group of people. The Rev. Fred Phelps and his family are quite possibly the most hated family in America. They are fundamentalist Christians, who, along with their Congregation, picket soldier’s funerals waving large signs proclaiming …
Ride the Wild Surf movie
From 1964, Ride the Wild Surf is one overly melodramatic movie that tried to capitalize on the beach picture craze. About the only thing it has going for it is a great cast, at least as far as bikini and surf pictures of the 60’s go. Fabian, …
Why Did I get Married Movie
My wife has wanted to watch Why Did I get Married ever since it first came out. But, I have avoided doing that because I figured it would be just another man-bashing chick flick.
Well, she finally got an opportunity to watch it yesterday and, guess what, I was right. …
Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead
I was told that this movie was incredibly good. I knew that there was some kind of twist in the plot. But I will admit that when I was told this, I interpreted it to mean that there would be some sort of surprise ending. …
Pirates of the Caribbean,Dead Man’s Chest
This movie had it all: action, adventure, humor and more! Ths movie told a good story, kept you entertained in the process and left you wanting more. Three of us ranging from 12-40 years old went and each one of us walked out saying the same thing; that was …
The Hanged Man movie
Steve Forrest wasn’t a favorite actor of mine, but he did do several movies and TV shows that I liked, which balanced all the performances I didn’t like of his. This movie, The Hanged Man from 1974, is somewhat in the middle.
If you didn’t know it, the film …
Movie: “Night at the Museum” (2006)
I have to say this is one of my all-time favorite Ben Stiller movies. I’m not really a Stiller fan; the only movie he’s really “acted” in was the hilarious Zoolander; otherwise, he always plays the same character: neurotic, a little nerdy, uncommitted, but with a good soul. He …
DVD DEATHDREAM (1972)
If ever a cult movie deserved a special edition DVD it is DEATHDREAM (AKA DEAD OF NIGHT), a chilling horror film about a vietnam soldier, mistakenly declared dead, surprisingly returns home.
Well, maybe not mistakenly dead. He is dead. He’s an unliving vampire-zombie who needs blood to survive and, …

21 Jump Street starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill (2012 Movie)

Officer (movie), 2001
The movie Officer released in 2001. I watched it on cable. It was an okay film. I really did not like it much. But it is a nice time pass film. The leading roles in the film have been played by Sunil Shetty and Raveena Tandon. Sunil Shetty plays …
Stuart Bliss movie
Description
Stuart Bliss is a movie about a guy who has much going for him but hes also going insane.
My Thoughts About Stuart Bliss

This film is the supposedly the sequel to the original Boogeyman (PG-13, 2005) and is focused on a group of mental patients who are in some sort of group therapy. There is one girl (the main character of course) who has a big theory about the Boogeyman, …
Mother and son movie
This is a film by the russian cinematic artist Alexandr Sokurov and tell a very slow story about a young man and his sick mother. Sokurov paints his film in stunningly beautiful images and overall I think this feels more like observing a painting than seeing a film, but …

Jurassic Park I: The Movie
In my opinion the movie Jurassic Park based on the novel from Michael Crichton is one of the great set of movies based upon his books. The animation and idea behind the movie is cutting edge for the time it was created in 1993. The plot for the movie …
Soul Survivors Movie
Soul Survivors is one of the most confusing movies ever made. Yet I still find myself watching it every few years. When I do re-watch it, I still find myself wondering what exactly happened, and feeling highly confused by the plot. Then a few months pass, and I end …
Transformers
There Fight. Our World. Transformers was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid, and was ecstatic to learn that a live action movie was being made. That excitement dropped slightly when I learned who the director is, Michael Bay. Bay is a hit or miss …
Them! (1954)
One of the great things about 1950s monster movies is you can always expect some sort of mutant creature created by radiation.
The movie Them! is definitely a perfect example of movies like that.
Overall, Them is an Ok movie. It’s really not that scary or even suspensful. But, what it …
Father of the Bride 2
Father of the bride 2 is the sequel to the movie Father of the bride. It is a good movie and is very entertaining one. Though it is not as good as the first movie it is good nevertheless. It has some good performances by Steve Martin and Diane …
Disney’s Hercules
Despite the fact that this animated feature was terribly inaccurate to the Greek myth of Hercules, I liked it. Actually, I think I may have liked it even more than my kids did.
James Woods is absolutely hilarious as Hades, and all of the characters are fun and interesting. …
Blood for Dracula
I have to say, I never really understood the fuss over Andy Warhol movies. I saw the film Blood for Dracula the other night. While the movie sounded good in the description (Dracula is growing old and needs virgin blood to survive); the movie itself was actually one of …
