Man on the Moon
Man On The Moon with Jim Carrey, Danny DeVito, Courtney Love, and Paul Giamatti.
Though hard to tell by the title, this poorly presented movie was a biography of the comedian Andy Kaufman and his alter ego Tony Clifton. It is a shame that such a …
The Dukes of Hazzard (2005 movie)
Remake of a popular TV series, this movie lacked the quality to keep me interested for even a short while. Where was the direction? It sure as hell didn’t leave me wanting more, I didn’t even want a little. This is yet another dumb movie that will fade away …

Doubt (PG13, 2008)
I have been skipping over Doubt on my Netflix list, because quite frankly, I couldn’t tell what the movie was about. And when I looked at the synopsis, I couldn’t really get a grip on the gist of the film. It seemed like some kind of …
Killing Midnight-Joe Dorsey &Ryan Alosio
I hated this movie. The acting was horribly boring and the plot line had so much potential. A suspense novelist with writer\’s block has a neighbor that is murdered. He becomes a suspect very quickly and does not realize that the murderer is right under his nose. I am …
City of God (crime drama movie)
When I watched the 2002 crime drama “City of God” recently, I just found it hard to believe that a film so good had escaped my notice for so many years. The thing is it’s one of those films whose plot revolves around gangsters, life in the ghetto and gang …
50 First Dates
If placed in the hands of a second-rate screenwriter, certain concepts or premises could fall apart. This movie could easily have been one of those, but expert screenwriting and fine performances by Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler make this a charming, believable movie.
The story centers around Drew, who had …

Croc (2006) (movie)
Croc is a thrilling horror movie about a large, twenty-foot long killer salt-water crocodile in Thailand. I just finished watching it not long ago and it was very good. The acting was decent and the plot kept moving along at a fast pace. There were several scary moments throughout …
Anastasia 1997 BluRay Movie
When this movie came out in 1997, I had never even heard of the small child that was being portrayed in the film. I was informed by my mother that the movie was based on the 1956 movie about the return of the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna. It …

Over the Hedge
I spent some time thinking about how to describe how good the movie Over the Hedge was. The best way I can think of is, it was so good, my 2-year-old actually sat quietly throughout the whole movie.
Centering around a bunch of wild animals having to cope with a …

Movie In her shoes
I have watched the movie ‘In her shoes’. The director is Curtis Hanson. This is the tale of two sisters, whose characteristics are very much different. This is a family-oriented film. The different characters of the two sisters is interesting to watch.
These two sisters are Maggie and Rose. Cameron …
Benchwarmers Movie
The Benchwarmers was a funny movie filled with great actors. It has to be funny with a lineup of David Spade, Jon Heder, and Rob Schnider. I found that there were several jokes that were PG-13 but nothing too severe. Jon Heder made it great. It really was a …
Cast Away (Tom Hanks, 2000)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who usually does a good job, and starring Tom Hanks. Usually Tom does a good job too, but this movie didn’t work for me. I didn’t like it for many reasons, but it wasn’t the actors or the director at fault: it …
The Godfather
The Godfather is my favorite movie of all time. I love everything about it. Al Pacino, James Cann, Robert Duvall, and Marlon Brando play their roles with tremendous ability. They make their roles come alive and make the mafia family seem real. I especially like Maroln Brando as Vito …
The Aviator (2004)
Martin Scorsese has directed one of the best films since Goodfellas. This movie is “The Aviator”, which depicts the life of Howard Hughes. This role is played by Leonardo DiCaprio, who once played seemingly small roles in some movies to outperform himself in this movie.
Scorsese depicted Howard Hughes’ …
London - (starring Jessica Biel)
I watched London starring Jessica Biel the other day and it’s not really that bad a movie story. Chris Evans star too and in this DVD movie story that I watched, it’s basically about Chris Evans and he act as the character Syd. He is a guy that …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets contains spoilers.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is not my favorite of the Harry Potter movies. Unlike the other 4 films out on DVD, this one feels like it’s too long. I first watched this movie on …
Horror Express movie
I actually heard about this movie by accident, when I was surfing the net. I didn’t know that Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee had starred in a film together until I heard about “HOrror Express”, and I found the concept of the two actors working with each other to …
A Greater Yes: The Story of Amy Newhouse
I had seen A Greater Yes advertised and really wanted to see it. It was produced by Pure Flix, a production company I really like, and is Dove Family approved. So I was hopeful about this movie. When I read the cover, I was a bit …

Batman Begins (2005 film)
The 2005 film “Batman Begins” starring Christian Bale and Katie Holmes, along with a cast of other remarkably talented actors, gave me some very new light on Batman and what he stands for. I really got swept up in Bruce Wayne’s life and saw for myself the reasons behind …

National Lampoon’s The Stoned Age
We randomly picked a movie to watch on our netflix player last night and ended up with National Lampoon’s The Stoned Age. When we started watching it, I figured it would be like that old movie Caveman, which was funny but pretty lame. It turns out Caveman was a …
127 Hours: Movie
127 Hours is a film I thoroughly enjoyed upon first viewing, but I’m not quite sure it is a film that can be watched on repeat.
I liked the fact that it was based on a true story and loved the story itself; it’s such a testament to the man …
Midway movie
In 1976, Midway was released. This large, star-filled ensemble cast tells the story of the battle of Midway. For me, there are pluses and minuses to this production.
I do enjoy the story of the battle. It was important in World War II, and the story should …
The Sound Of Music movie
Here is another favorite film of mine and of many others I know. Everyone must have seen the wild actics of this strange family and the new comer to the household. I even got me a whistle. “The hills are alive” hmmm, are they really, “with the sound of …
Yours, Mine and Ours (2005 Film)
While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
With hollywood turning every comic book into a movie that they can find, quality has some how taken a back seat. I’m not sure why these hollywood mega moguls would sacrifice putting out a good movie. It’s not like they need the money afterall. But nonetheless, quality is put …
He Loves Me…He Loves Me Not (movie)
One thing that I absolutely love to watch is foreign drama films, and therefore, when I saw the French movie “He Loves Me—¦He Loves Me Not” airing on a certain cable television station recently, I was eager to watch it even though it was already one or two minutes …

1408 (Movie) Starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson
