Moulin Rouge
Erm, I was not thinking that this was the best movie of all time. It has Nicole Kidman, who I love, and Ewan McGregor, and I own the movie, but it just wasn’t my favorite. I think the ideas presented in the movie were great fun … but it …
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
This movie could be looked at in one of two ways: a take on David and Goliath, or the traditional bully theme. Either way, it is a pleasant comedy with several delightful characters and oddities. It involves a hostile takeover attempt by Goliath Globo Gym owner White Goodman (Ben …

Wall-E
Pixar’s always done great work. Even with their already high bar, they raised it with Wall-E. Not only did they raise it, they did it with only half a script.
I kid you not, the first half of this film is practically dialogue free. When I heard …
Fun with Dick and Jane
I must admit that I am not a great fan of Jim Carrey’s movie. I don’t enjoy watching some two hour movie with a guy trying to make a series of funny faces, however in this movie Jim Carrey managed to tone down this image and gave an excellent …
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
I have always been a huge fan of vampire movies, but I have to say that Robert Rodriguez’s “From Dusk Till Dawn” is the most bizarre vampire movie I have ever seen. There is a lot of great talent in this movie - including George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
There aren’t many movies that I’m willing to spend the price of admission on. Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull is one of the few I am.
Quite simply, this movie is awesome. If I could afford it, I would go back again and again. I don’t …

The Village - Movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan
The Village is one of the later movies of M. Night Shyamalan. I have for a long time believed that the beauty of Shyamalan’s movies was dwindling but this movie was among those that were better than you would first thought.
In all truthfulness the movie started out very …

Apollo 13
Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Apollo 13 and I have to say, it is still as good as the first time I saw it.
There are a lot of movies about historical disasters. But, Apollo 13 is one of those few films that gives …
Gabriel
I’ve first known of the movie Gabriel after I saw my aunt watching it. I asked her what’s the movie she’s watching and what is it all about. Since she was not accustomed to telling tales, she answered me directly with, “The angel Gabriel of course.”
Gabriel is an Australian …

My wife and I were once again in the mood for a good zombie flick so I ended up picking out Grindhouse: Planet Terror, in an effort to find a more modern movie that might put a different spin on things.
It was an OK movie but not the best …

Round-Up Time in Texas movie
After watching a bunch of old westerns with Tex Ritter, it’s actually quite a change to now watching a few with Gene Autry in them. They are both singing cowboys, but they are very different, too. This movie is called Round-Up Time in Texas from 1937.
First of …

Casino Royale
Bond movies recently have not lived up to there predecessors from the Connery or Dalton days. So, Casino Royale is just another money grab with the 007 nametag right? Wrong. Not only is this one of the best Bond movies, it is also one of the …
blockbuster .com
I actually like Blockbuster a lot more than Netflix because you can return the movies to the store instead of mailing them in and waiting to receive new movies. Not only can you return the movies that were mailed to you to the store, but you can also trade …

Whenever there is a movie starring Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson, it’s best to watch. A couple of weeks back, I remember renting I Spy and it’s such a truly entertaining movie altogether and not to mention I have a few quick laughs as well as long ones. …
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 …

American Honey (2016 Drama Road Film)
Filmmaking is a medium that should transcend people into experiences rare in reality. Magic is one way to describe this art. The images are meticulously planned that the frames almost look surreal and incalculably rich and Andrea Arnold knows this secret so she magisterially created a piece of cinema that …
The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …

The Smurfs 2 (movie)

The Man from Earth - 2007 - by Jerome Bixby
This is a truly a great film from start to finish. If you like fast action movies, this is not for you, it takes place in a two room studio and the drama comes from the sharp dialogue rather than the scenery.
The title does not provide …
The Dark Night
I have been a Batman fan since I was about five years old. In that time, I’ve followed every Batman movie made, from the good to the really bad.
