The Quantum of Solace
I saw the latest Bond flick over the weekend with a few of my friends. I am not a huge Bond fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I’ve seen most of Bond movies, especially the ones released in the past 15 years, so I have at least …
Zoolander (R, 2001)
When I first saw this movie I thought it was really going to be stupid. And I was right. But with actors like Will Ferrell and Owen Wilson aboard for the laughs, you can expect all the lame jokes to be illustrated in full effect. …
Birdman of Alcatraz
Birdman Of Alcatraz is the story of Robert Stroud, a criminal imprisoned on the infamous Alcatraz island. Robert Stroud is a killer and scary man, so you cannot let what he does after he spend years in prison change your mind about what he did to become a death …
Carlito’s Way movie

Flight 93
I was promted to buy this movie after writing a memorial poem for those that were on the plane that crashed on 9-11. The movie was so close to the actual event that I found myself wishing that the outcome was different than what we all know. …
Bachelor Party (1984)
Tom Hanks is better known today for his sensitive, serious portrayals and his knack for comedy seems to have got lost with time. When ‘Bachelor Party’ came out in 1984 I am pretty sure that Hanks was unknown. I had certainly not heard of him when I …
Star Wars: Episode 2- Attack of the Clones
Well, I can say one good thing about Attack of the Clones, it was better than The Phantom Menace! (I said that in my sarcastic voice by the way). First off, the relationship between Anakin and Padma is probably one of the worst relationships every put on …
Tropic Thunder (2008)
This movie is comedy about actors being actors on screen, starring famous faces like Ben Stiller as Tugg Speadman, Robert Downey Jr. as Kirk Lazarus, Jack Black as Jeff Portnoy, Nick Nolte as John Tayback, Tom Cruise as Les Grossman and Matthew McConaughey as Rick Peck. The plot of …
Twilight
OK, either I’m starting to get really old or the movie Twilight wasn’t anything that lived up to all the hype and the obsession the fans are giving it. I watched it last night and thought it was the longest, most boring vampire film I’ve ever seen. And, believe …
Internal Affairs Movie
I expected it to be a good and interesting movie. I like cop stories and I like Andy Garcia. But heck! What an absolutely dragging movie! For a cop movie in Hollywood, there was just too much talking. I could barely keep my eyes open.
Richard Gere’s character was too …
Into the Wild (R, 2007) movie
This was one of the most touching films I have ever seen. But I will admit that while watching most of it, I thought: “Is this guy a dumb azz?” I am only saying this because despite his contempt for materialism, he seemed completely unprepared for …
The Back Up Plan Movie (2010)
This is a hilarious movie that most ladies if not all should watch! This movie is all about a girl (Jennifer Lopez) quitting the dating scene and decides she just wants a baby, thus going to a clinic and having in-vitro done on her, she now is pregnant but …
Battle Warrior Movie
Warning to all you Tony Jaa fans out there, don’t waste your time with this movie! I ended up making the mistake of buying this movie. The packaging of the 2 disc collector’s edition is pretty slick. It has Tony’s face on the front with his …
Man on Fire (2004) Movie
The 2004 version of ‘Man on Fire’ is a cracking film which, although it contains a hell of a lot of action and violence, is far from your average one-dimensional action flick. Starring one of my favourite actors, Denzel Washington, as ex-CIA assassin ‘Creasy’ who initially has no …
Juno- the movie
Loved this movie.
Was very disappointed with “Little Miss Sunshine.” The same studio brought you this movie, but the hype is VERY deserved for this film.
Ellen Page is a revelation as this character. It is so well written to begin with, but she turns this sarcastic but earnest character …

In The Mouth of Madness Movie
I didn’t think that there would be a movie that would be able to scare me, but this does not apply if that movie is made by the famous director John Carpenter (”Halloween”). In the case I experienced this on me, after I decided to watch his grim film …
Miracle on Ice
I do not like hockey; I just don’t. It’s violent; besides, who can follow that puck around the ice? Still, during the 1980 Winter Olympics, I found myself watching a few of the hockey games. The reason was the phenomenal run to the gold that the …
The Omen (2006)
A modern remake of a classic horror where it tells the story of a boy who bears the mark of the devil and who has come to claim the world as his own once he comes of age. For ages the coming was foretold and no one could stop …
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Atlantis The Lost Empire is one of my all time favorite animated films. I think the scenes in this movie are just breathe taking. I was very impressed with how cool Atlantis looked in the movie. Atlantis The Lost Empire really paints a great image of what Atlantis probably really …
Movie Knocked Up
This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …
The Reaping film
Through this movie, Hilary Swank has reminded audiences once again, that she is one of Hollywood’s greatest Heavy-Hitters. Her acting skills were brilliant. Maybe this is why some of the other cast members appeared as though they needed to step it up a notch? “Who is that blonde little …

Jason Goes to Hell (Rated Version)
Jason Goes to Hell is the ninth, and supposedly last movie in the Friday the 13th series of horror movies. The movie itself has been panned by fans because it completely disregards the other movies. In this one we are led to believe that Jason isn’t the ordinary man …

The Main Event movie
In 1979, Barbra Streisand and Ryan O’Neal teamed up for their second movie together in The Main Event. They’d been wildly popular with their earlier film, What’s Up, Doc? and here, they tried to make movie magic again. It’s actually not a bad movie. I enjoyed …
Sgt. Bilko
Sgt. Bilko with Steve Martin, Dan Akroyd, Phil Hartman, and Glenne Headly.
I remember the old black and white TV show with Phil Silvers in the role of Sgt. Bilko. It was one of my favorites and had a great supporting cast. Trying to stretch …

I was looking through one of the thrift stores in my local area and found one of the movies that I will always remember from my childhood and teenage years because of how different it was and a movie that normally, I would not have really watched. Bebe’s Kids. …

“Ouran High School Host Club” is a charming and cute anime series. Each of the Host Club members [main characters]: Tamaki, Kyouya, Kaoru, Hikaru, Honey, Takeshi and Haruhi are well developed and are portrayed well, both through voice [acting] and animation. The use of roses
throughout the story is …
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind film
How the story unfolded was quite interesting. It’s a beautifully woven tale of two souls who, after having been separated by science, still manage to find each other again, because of a force far greater than any form of futuristic technology — love.
I enjoyed the cast of characters of …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is the sequel to the very popular Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. In my opinion, a disappointing sequel. In my eyes, it is the death of a sequel when the makers of the …

I thought this was a brilliant film with a great storyline. Ben Stiller is the main charater in this film and he plays a character called larry, larry keeps trying to invent things without success so his ex partner tells him he has to get a proper job otherwise …

Jacob’s Ladder (1990)
Get ready for the thrill ride from this feature length movie starring Tim Robbins as Jacob Singer, a Vietnam soldier. As the movie would have it, there are multiple sides to this chilling story that you need to pay close attention to, one side of the story is that …
Streets of Fire

Murder with Music movie
From 1941, Murder with Music was all black film about a woman with a lot of suitors. The whole hype about the movie is that someone gets killed, but that murder actually happens so late that I’m not sure I even cared.
Early on, and this is what I …

3:10 to Yuma, movie
Although this movie is a remake of a terrific film, with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale taking the leads, this film did more than just update a classic; it surpassed it. “3:10 to Yuma” is more than just a western. This is a movie that could well be …
