Eddie Izzard Live: Stripped
Introduction
I have been a fan of Eddie Izzard from the beginning. Recently, I got given his latest live DVD called ’stripped’ and he is still one of the funniest comedians out there.
The Show
If you have seen an Eddie Izzard performance before then it is fair to say that you …
Madea Goes to Jail (2009)
If you have seen ‘Diary of a Mad Black Woman’, ‘Why Did I get Married’ and ‘Madea’s Family Reunion’ then you are full aware of the character known as Madea played by Tyler Perry. In this movie, she shares the stage with a troubled female. Let us focus on …
The Imitation Game, movie
“The Imitation Game” has proven to be one of this year’s top contenders at the more significant film award ceremonies. Does the film, however, truly live up to its praise? The film explores the life of Alan Turing and his experiences in attempting to break the ENIGMA code of …
Erin Brokovich Movie
Starring Julia Roberts (as Erin Brokovich) and Albert Finney, this movie is based on the true story of Erin Brokovich-Ellis (who makes a special appearance in the film ~ watch for her, as a waitress named, ironically, Julia). Aaron Eckhart is also in the film.
I loved this movie. …

An American Carol
This is without doubt one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! I admit when I checked it out I had never heard of it before, but I saw it stared Leslie Nielsen and I had always found him very funny in the “Naked Gun” movies. The DVD box …
Freaky Friday
There have been many versions of Freaky Friday since the first filming of Mary Rodgers book, but it is the one that I still enjoy the most. Sure some of it is dated, having been filmed in the 1970’s and with most of that ages fashion shown in full …
Wrong Turn 2
I’m going to open this review with a plea to Hollywood. The next time you make a horror film, please make an effort to scare me. Don’t cut corners and produce a film that goes out of its way to show as much blood and gore as possible. That’s …
X-Men (Movie)
As a fan of the comics and early morning animated show, I always felt this movie was a long time coming. Thankfully, someone finally saw fit to bring Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops and the rest to the big screen and under the direction of Bryan Singer; the X-Men were finally …
The Devil & Daniel Webster Movie
You won’t see Hollywood make this type of a movie today, oh no. It’s got “religion” in it, you see, the characters go to church and read their Bible, and all that is taken seriously, no one makes fun of them for it. God-fearing people are actually presented as …
Shoot ‘Em up
I like Clive Owen, he’s probably my favorite English actor, but I’ve seen him in this role before. In his incredibly great movie, Children Of Men, Owen plays a reluctant hero of sorts who needs to escort a pregnant woman to her rendevous point to have her baby without …
Tyler Perry’s ‘The Family That Preys’ (movie)
I really didn’t know what to expect from this film when I first heard the name of it. Tyler Perry is best known for his comedies such as ‘Diary of a Mad Black Woman’ and ‘Meet the Browns’. I was really surprised today when I watched his 2008 film …

Up In The Air (Movie)
One of the most anticipated DVD releases, at least in my mind, was Up In The Air, the George Clooney movie which was nominated for several Academy Awards at the recent Oscar ceremonies. I like George Clooney movies, although I hesitate to say that I love all of his …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
With all of the X-Men films that have been produced for mutant lovers everywhere, another movie revolving around these super human characters caught me as a little of overkill. However, I was proved very wrong after having seen the 2009 X-Men film, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine’. Not only was this …
Firewall, Richard Loncraine Movie
Jack Stanfield is a head of security for a reputable bank. However, it appeared that their expertise is seen by some parties who intend evil. Jack originally acquainted with someone named Bill Cox who intends to work together with banks in the field of security, but the introduction has …

Movie: Aliens in the Attic
When the film Aliens in the Attic first came out, my wife and I gave serious consideration to seeing it in the theater with our oldest daughter. We decided against this because we figured it wouldn’t be as good as the previews.
We finally did watch the movie this past …
Saw V
Saw V is the second movie in the series where James Wan had nothing to do with, this time they got a new director, David Hackl. The movie was released around Halloween again, a year after the last. While not as pathetic as Saw IV this film is pathetic, …
Terms Of Endearment (movie)
Terms of Endearment stars two of my favorite actors, Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Debra Winger plays Emma, Shirley MacLaine’s character’s daughter. Shirley MacLaine is Aurora. Throw in Jack Nicholson as Aurora’s womanizing, astronaut neighbor, and you have the perfect movie. The opening scene shows Emma still at home, …
The Fan (1996)
The Fan, directed by Tony Scott is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong language throughout and some intense violence. The original release date for the movie was August 16, 1996 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Sport/Thriller and stars …
Premonition
I was prepared to really hate this film. I had read reviews. And so many people (including critics) had nothing but weak things to say about this film. I think it’s because Sandra Bullock has never been taken seriously as an actress. Her quirky ways, …
G.I.Joe: The rise of Cobra
I really didn’t know what to expect of this movie. I had never seen a trailer about it so I was expecting something between war and politics, but like it actually happens, like we see it on TV every day. Here everything was about money, like it usually is, …
The Time Traveler’s Wife (A Movie )
I just saw the movie last night and it was the first time that I had completed watching it. It really moved me right to the bones and it really pinched my heart. The movie, although not a happy-ending story, was really artistically well-crafted– from …
The Postman movie
The Postman has got to rank as one of the better movies I have watched in the 90’s. I have read a lot of articles stating negative reviews but I guess we’re all entitled to our own opinion so I still suggest you give this movie a shot. It …
Movie: Antibodies
The German film Antibodies is one of those films where going in you have no idea what you are going to get. When I saw the cover, which featured a naked man covered in blood in a stark white room I was thinking this was going to be …
Movie: From Prada to Nada
I first saw this title on my T.V. guide as I was scrolling to search for programs to record on my Rogers PVR.
From Prada to Nada sounded like a catchy name for a film and it caught my attention when I looked at the info on the movie. …
Raising Helen movie
Raising Helen was a movie which starred Kate Hudson, it about a woman whose sister unexpectedly dies in an accident with her husband, now she has to take care of his sister’s kids and juggle it with her demanding job and her temporary on hold fun life. At first …
Movie: Rambo
Well, I finally got a chance to watch the movie Rambo this past weekend.
When I started it, I honestly wasn’t expecting too much. There are way too many movies that try to remind us of 1980s films and I figured this would be one of those attempts (like Rock …
Terror Tract
I watched the very beginning of this movie yesterday. I didn’t even finish watching it because it was so boring. It was suppose to be about these haunted houses but it wasn’t really. It was just about these people that were having an affair and the woman’s husband came …
Malevolence (horror movie)
I kept reading some good reviews about the movie “Malevolence” but when I got to watch it I was very disappointed. It is one of those horror movies where the plot only sounds very good on paper. I thought that the rating should have been average at the very least …
Silverado movie
Silverado stars Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, and Danny Glover. This is the classic cowboy western that was produced after its time and followed the successful formulas of great music, beautiful scenery, and familiar faces in supporting roles.
When the movie first appears on the …
Finding Nemo
There are very few movies out there that show you the importance of fatherhood. That’s why I think Finding Nemo is one of the better movies ever made.
Never mind the fact this is an animated film that is designed with children in mind. The underlying message is how difficult …
Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (2006)
The second installation of the ice age sage, this time they must contend with the melting ace caps what are slowly but surely releasing the water contained within to the valleys below and beyond, the melting will not stop as the ice age is basically over, now the creatures …
Film Beetlejuice
Few films are as wildly inventive as Tim Burton’s manic masterpiece Beetlejuice.
Telling the tale of Adam and Barbara (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis), living in a small town and unable to have children, who are exiled after an unexpected death to live in their beautiful country home. It wouldn’t …
Clash of the Titans movie
For those of you that you were born too late (like me), Clash of the Titans is a film appeared in 1981, which used some sort of an animation for special effects. But in this review we won’t talk about that movie. We will be talking about the remake. …
Gone, Baby Gone (R, 2007) movie
Ben Affleck is certainly not one of my favorite actors. But he just might have me on being one of the better producer/ directors to get behind the camera. He cast his little brother Casey in this gritty role of a private detective who has been asked …
The Women (Movie)
This is a very nice movie and when I watched this I was reminded by Sex and the City, but the girls here are much laid-back and more conservative and more professional and laid-back than the cast of Sex and the City, but they aren’t necessarily boring.
The movie features …
Raising Arizona (1987)
Raising Arizona, directed by Joel Coen is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Assocation of America. The original release date was March 13, 1987 for United States audience.

Winning of the West movie
I really don’t believe I’ve seen many Gene Autry movies, but the other day I was bored and there was nothing, and I mean nothing, on TV so I tuned in to a 1953 flick called Winning of the West. What I love about these old movies is …
The Wackness (R, 2008) film
“The Wackness” is one of those films that you will only like if you are a fan of drama that encompasses smarmy dialogue and very little action. This movie is set in the 90s around the time that the Notorious B.I.G. was really popular. This high school …
Untitled Bryan Singer Thriller
I am sorry, it should be moved to another side a solid place; then, Hitler watch humpback ninety maps, bomb explosions rock blocked the shock table, side table, four individuals died on the spot, Hitler big frightened, but unharmed.
For Stauffenberg’s assassination of action, something very few characters, even if …
Baby snatcher
I watched this movie on lifetime move network today. Overall it was pretty good. The actors were really good in it, and they had more than one actor that was good. A lot of times in the life time movie networks there are only one good actor in the …

Pursuit of Happyness
How lucky is Will Smith to be able to act with his real life son Jaden? What a fine performance the two of them put in to make Pursuit of Happyness such a joy to see. It is the story of hope, tenacity, desperation, all the things humans in …
“Are you in the house alone” Movie
This movie is such an odd combination of movies. I really love it and I adore 70’s horror films but it is so hard to pin down.
The plot of the movie is a teenager starts dating her best friend’s boyfriend’s friend. They start falling in love and she …
Jesse Stone: Night Passage movie
From 2006, Tom Selleck returned to TV with Jesse Stone: Night Passage, a movie I’d just as soon as have not seen. I’ve now seen two of these movies, and they have to be among the most depressing productions known to mankind. What possible thrill did Selleck …
“Pacific Rim” movie
The geek community had high hopes for this movie. Having giant robots fighting giant monsters seems like a guaranteed good time, but the fact that Guillermo Del Toro was helming the project only added to the hype.
I have to admit, Del Toro’s been on a hot streak lately. …
Diary of the Dead movie
After his belated return to his roots with Land of the Dead a few years prior, Romero turns prolific once more with Diary of the Dead; an interesting take on the genre with a hand held, documentary tactic employed perhaps most famously with Cloverfield.
It’s an interesting idea, and …
