The Strangers 2007 DVD
I was really anticipating this movie, not enough to go see it in theaters but that is an entirely different post. The previews revealed enough to get me interested but they didn’t show all the best parts, which seems to be a running theme these days. It …
Blind Man’s Bluff
I am reviewing The Case of the Blind Man’s Bluff, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie …
Strawberry Shortcake: Adventures on Ice Cream Island
OK, prior to having a daughter, I didn’t even know Strawberry Shortcake had a cartoon series; let along episodes on DVD. However, I will admit Adventures on Ice Cream Island is a decent DVD to rent if you want your daughter to be occupied for about 45 minutes.
The DVD …
Entrapment movie
As much as I thought I would enjoy the movie Entrapment, I will start out by saying it took me more than a month to actually watch it from beginning to end mostly because I couldn’t stand to be bored for more than a few minutes at a time.
Sean …
Obsessed
I wasn’t sure I wanted to watch the movie “Obsessed” this past weekend. But, my wife wanted to see it and it was her birthday.
It turned out to be an OK film.
It is actually similar to many other films I’ve seen. You have a successful black guy who is …
Titanic
I watched the movie ‘Titanic’ two years ago. But memory of it still fresh in my memory. The actors are Kate Winslet and Leonardo. Their acting was good. In the movie, we see that a ship called ‘Titanic’ sails out. The people are very happy to board the ship …

It features real-life brothers Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans, Jaime King, Frankie Faison, Lochlyn Munro, Jennifer Carpenter, Busy Philipps, John Heard, Terry Crews, Brittany Daniel, Jessica Cauffiel, Eddie Velez, Maitland Ward, and Anne Dudek. The whole cast is crazy and when you …
Movie: Nine Dead
I have had the film Nine Dead loaded on my Netflix player for a few weeks now. But, I did not take the time to watch it until last night because I suspected it would be a terrible rip off of the Saw movies or some other movie I …
Quantum of Solace
I watched Quantum of Solace a couple of months ago, since I am fan of the James Bond Series. And after watching it, I really liked it. It is basically a sequel to Casino royale in which by being betrayed by Vesper, James Bond wants revenge from his enemies …
National Lampoon’s Van Wilder
This movie is a decent comedy, even against my initial expectations. So far every other “National Lampoon’s” movie has just been awful. This has completely changed my view of them for the future!
The overall basis of the movie is that a student named Van Wilder is attempting to stay …
Autopsy movie 2008
Autopsy is a film from After Dark, aka the famous After Dark Horrorfest films that release “8 films to die for” every year for the last few years. I generally find their films to be of better quality than the usual“B”horror movies that are available. This one …
Sonic SatAM
I had heard great things about this show from several different people. I remember seeing it occasionally back when it was on Saturday mornings, but I didn’t watch it regularly simply because I had no clue who most of the characters were.
I picked up the DVD …
Say It Isn’t So movie
“Say It Isn’t So” was mainly promoted as the movie from the same producers of “Something About Mary”. However this movie together with the movie “Me, You and Irene” cannot really be compared to the great success of “Something About Mary”. I must also admit that between “Me, You …
You, Me and Dupree movie
When I saw the previews for this movie I knew I wanted to see it. You, me and Dupree didn’t let me down. I laughed so hard I nearly made puddles beneath my chair. Kate Hudson plays the disgruntled new wife so well you’d swear every …
Hulk (2003 movie)
I have always been a fan of the Hulk comic book and TV series, so i was looking forward to see the movie. When I did see the movie, It was a total disappointment to see how they have tarnished the reputation of the beloved bringer of misunderstood destruction. …
Transformers The Dark Side of the Moon Movie
I remember watching the commercials for Transformers thinking another one? After the first and second one how could they really come up with something original. Though don’t get me wrong I loved the first one, even though Megan Fox was in it. At that point I really had no …
Life or Something Like It
“Life or Something Like It” is definitly not one of the best Angelina Jolie’s movies. Infact she was nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie. Jolie is not great in this movie because, for one thing, she is wearing blond hair and looks like a …
Executive Decision (1996)
The US president along with his aircraft Air Force One is hijacked by terrorists and the first family is in grave danger, coming to their rescue is none other than the great Steven Seagal, but as the plot would have it, and surprising to me with most other people …
Twilight (PG-13, 2008)
I was at first apprehensive about seeing this movie. Typically, when there is a lot of hype surrounding a film, or it seems that mostly pre-pubescent girls are interested in the movie, I find that the movie is much cornier than I’d like. But in this case, …

Movie Fired Up
We watched the movie Fired Up this past weekend. When I decided to watch it, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be an OK movie.
OK, let me start out by saying this film isn’t for everyone in the family. It was about as raunchy …
Sex in The City (The Movie)
I recently saw Sex in The City (The Movie), like i’m sure most of you women and some men have already dashed to the nearest theatre to see. I say most women and some men, based on my trip to the movies and the observations I made while …

The Perfect Stranger Movie
This movie has a very low rating on imdb.com but I say so otherwise and I think this is a great suspense and thriller movie. It had me thinking until the very end and there’s a twisted ending that’s nice too and although I had always been thinking that …

Rock of Love with Bret Michaels
Rock of Love with Bret Michaels is now in it’s second season on VH1. I got hooked on the first season because of the complete crazy chicks that were competing for his “love.” It was like a guilty pleasure that I almost felt shame for watching. …
Hancock The Movie
“Hancock” is now officially my new favorite summer movies. I thought “Sex and the City” was good, but this movie blew them out of the water. First off, I do not recommend this movie for small children, or children in general for that matter. While the dialog was hilarious, …

Sara and Stephanie were both pregnant and their dues were only weeks apart, they started emailing each other about their journey in their pregnancy. They discovered throughout journey a …
Cloverfield
I love monster movies. Even if the special effects aren’t the greatest and the plot is weak, the fact I can see some giant monster destroying a city is usually enough to make up for it.
Unfortunately, Cloverfield turned out to be the worst monster movie I’ve ever seen.
The problem …
Legally Blonde movie
I remember first seeing the trailers for “Legally Blonde” when the movie came out in 2001; they promised some laughs, but overall, I wasn’t impressed and did not go to see the movie. Elle, the main character, seemed too “girly” for me: a fashion-freak blonde wearing pink & high …

The Monty Python crew makes fun of old religious values. Brian is born on the same day as Jesus and is stalked by the life of this man for the rest of his life. The film is more of a series a brilliant sketches than a film with a …
