Serendipity
I think that the best way to describe the movie “Serendipity” is John Cusack’s success movie as an attempt to return to his origins. We can remember that in the being of his career Cusack was involved in the successful movie project “The Sure Thing”. “Serendipity” is Cusack’s version …
Island Prey (movie)
Island Prey is your typical, bad Lifetime Movie that we all love to hate. Another tired and bored, young housewife married to a rich, old, boring man who is obsessed with his business decides to step outside her marriage to tango with a handsome stranger. Island Prey begins on …
My Fellow Americans
About the only thing I don’t like about My Fellow Americans from 1996 is the language. There’s a bit too much profanity in it for my taste, and I honestly don’t think it’s necessary to further the characters or the plot. So, with that one negative remark, …
Weekend at Bernie’s movie
My wife and I have been wanting to watch the movie Weekend at Bernie’s for a while now. We both saw it when we were younger but neither of us could remember much of what happened in the film and were interested to see if it was as good …

Alexis Dickey
You’re sitting in front of the TV. You and a love one are watching the new movie, “The Notebook”, on CMT. When the movie begins, you start to wonder. Then you ask your loved one, “Why does this movie start with old people?” They say, “I don’t …
Paycheck (2003)
This has got to be one of the only films that I have seen Ben Affleck play a character that was good in any sense. In this movie, he plays the role of an engineer who assists large corporations develop strategies to counter and rise above their competition, in …
The Kingdom Movie
Not knowing anything about the movie The Kingdom, I added it to my Netflix queue. I figured since it starred Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, and Chris Copper it would probably be a decent movie. Right from the very beginning of the movie it was very action involved. The movie …
Children of a Lesser God
“Children of a Lesser God” is a great, touching movie with dramatic and romantic moments mixed up together in a very emotional script. One of the assets of this movie is that it has two main great actors William Hurt and Marlee Martin. This movie was nominated …
Horrible Bosses 2 (comedy movie)

Out movie
Out, aka: Deadly Drifter, from 1982 is, well, strange. I’m not even sure how to describe the plot, if there was a plot. This collection of scenes had a unique start in how the title was present, and I give it points for that. However, considering …
New Moon movie
I saw the movie New Moon. The second installment in the Twilight series, when it first came out and at the time thought it was ok. I recently tried watching it again and realize that it was very disappointing.
I did like the beginning when Alice threw the party for …
So I Married an Axe Murderer
I’m not a huge fan of some of his later Austin Powers movies, but I have always thought Mike Myers was a bit underrated when it comes to his films. That’s why I took the time to watch one of his first movies again; “So I Married an Axe …
One Missed Call movie
One missed call is a great movie. It has great actors in it, a good storyline and kept me interested throughout the movie. The ending could have been a little bit better but it was still a good ending. It started off really good, once I started watching it …
The Imitation Game - Movie (2014)
The Imitation Game is truly a masterpiece. It follows a key part of mathematician (among other things), Alan Turing’s life during World War II and how he contributed to help break Nazi Germany’s seemingly infallible communication code named Enigma. I usually dislike period films, especially films that have anything to …

Battle Creek Brawl (1980) movie
Watching this movie was a fairly new and interesting experience for me, since I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Jackie Chan movie like it, and I also used to like Jackie Chan movies. Yes, it was still one of Jackie Chan’s martial arts comedies, but I don’t usually …
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (movie)
I’m one of those people who is a big fan of independent films, but for some reason when I saw a trailer of this movie a few months ago I wasn’t very interested in it. The fact that Emma Watson and Logan Leerman played two of the main characters …

Pitch Perfect 2 (musical comedy movie)

Well, after I watched it I …

The Matador
From the title you would think that this movie is Latino, or at least taking place south of the U.S. border. Here the idea of the matador is more of a metaphor, a symbol, that you’ll understand after watching the film. Pierce Brosnan is hilarious in this film. He …
