STRIPES Comedy
I have reached that age where a lot of the movies I thought were fantastic when I was younger kids today haven’t even heard of. STRIPES, a 1981 Columbia Pictures release staring Bill Murray, is one of those. If you haven’t seen it, you most definitely should.
This …
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Before the movie The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was released in theatres and I only saw the trailer, I was anticipating spending money to watch it since I was so sure that it was going to be much better than the first. Everything from the villains to the special effects looked …
Streetdance Movie 3D (2010)
I haved loved past street dance movies like You Got Served and Stomp the Yard, so when I saw this particular one showing in the movies already, I decided to watch it. The movie itself is called Street Dance 3D but here there wasn’t a movie house that played …
Mona Lisa Smile
I have always thought Julia Roberts acting to be very influential and contagious, in a positive way. And in Mona Lisa Smile, she suits the role that she played as a teacher in a college and the time era was during the early 1900s. My 2 favorite actresses; …

Redbox red movie vending machine
Redbox, for those that don’t know what it is, are those big red movie vending machines that can be found at most Wal-Marts, Walgreens, gas stations and McDonalds. They’re basically everywhere. Sometimes you’ll find two of them in one location if they get a lot of business. Whoever invented …

The movie Friday
The movie Friday is a freaking hilarious movie and made me laugh so hard. The beginning of the movie is kind of boring though and the first 20 minutes of the movie sucks to be honest but after that it starts to become real funny. From the beginning of …
IT (movie)
I think the movie IT is one of the best and scariest movies ever made. This is a movie that will make you afraid of clowns after you watch it. It is one of the darkest and most evil movie ever made. I was horrified by the sinister appearance …
Pulp Fiction (1994)
There is no other movie like Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction.” It is definitely at the top of my favorites list. This movie is chocked full of best talent that Hollywood has to offer. With big names like Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Uma Thurman and …
Halloween 2
My wife and I saw the first Halloween re-make when it came out and wanted to see the sequel to it. We got a chance to do that last night.
While a decent movie, I can honestly say it didn’t live up to the first one.
I liked the fact they …
Never Back Down
With the current and ever-rising mainstream popularity of mixed martial arts, I am not at all surprised to see movies using MMA in their plot lines.
I only wish they would do a better job of it! Maybe use better actors instead of relying on “pretty”.
Never Back Down focuses …
Movie No Reservations
In all honestly, I believe this is the worst film for Catherine Zeta Jones and it is not entirley here fault! I decided to watch “No Reservations” after I liked its trailer, however, in the end, it failed to impress me. This film transmits a lot of sadness to …

The Langoliers
Adapted from a short story by Stephen King, The Langoliers is yet another entry into the hit and miss catalogue of mini-series and movies based upon his works.
The story itself is both simple and unsettling; a small group of passengers awaken on a commercial plane midflight to find the …
The Exorcist
I am reviewing the movie, The Exorcist, starring Jason Miller. Everyone knows what this movie is about, or regarding, so I’ll try to be brief on the summary. Jason Miller’s character, Damien Karras, is a priest who’s lost his faith. He has more interest in looking …
The Usual Suspects (1995 Classic Film)
As a very vocal fan of director Christopher Nolan, I kept on looking for films that were similar to his visual style and storytelling. Over the past weeks I’ve encountered David Fincher masterpieces that I could definitely say inspired some of Nolan’s features, and this week someone recommended me a …
The Boy from Mercury Movie

Coraline (Film)
I love Tim Burton movies. I think they make great movies for all different ages, with enough of the eerie element to keep me interested. I fell in love after watching a Nightmare before Christmas; the animation was just so different, three dimensional but not of reality. I was …
Brother Bear (2003)
A coming of age story that focuses on the bond that is shared between family members and more importantly the bond between the brothers of that family is depicted in this animated movie from Disney Studios. Using animals to portray the story that even without a voice that is …

Everybody Wants Some!! (2016 Film)

The Bank Job (2008 version)
Finally I got to watch the recent movie, “The Bank Job”. I must warn you be prepared to watch a great drama movie. This movie has got nothing to do with “The Bank Job” released last year and directed by Estonian director, Brad Jurjens. This movie is simply great.
I …
Emasculating Chode
Another fun entry into the canon of Tripping the Rift highlighting the best aspect of the show: its villain Darph Bobo. Lightsaber battles, clown orgies, the Tentacle Club for Men: they are all a part of the fun and frivolity to be had here. Not to mention …
Nicholas Cage
Nicholas Cage is my all time favorite movie star. The first time I realized this was when I watched The Rock filmed in 1996. His accent alone captures my attention. It is that slow Californian voice that sounds so cool to me. When I first …
Cast Away (Tom Hanks, 2000)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who usually does a good job, and starring Tom Hanks. Usually Tom does a good job too, but this movie didn’t work for me. I didn’t like it for many reasons, but it wasn’t the actors or the director at fault: it …
Hush Hush Sweet Charlotee (movie)

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)
This story is a remake three times over and this remake just did not make the grade, for the life of me, no matter how many times I start watching and try to watch this movie, I just get extremely bored and I have to switch away to something …
Bloodrayne
I love vampire movies so it should be a bit surprising I didn’t get around to watching the film Bloodrayne until tonight.
The movie was OK but not as good as I thought it would be.
The problem with movies based on video games is they tend to assume you actually …
August Rush
In a nutshell the film “August Rush” is about fate and dreams. What is fantastic about this great movie is that the young actor, Freddie Highmore acting abilities are simply wonderful. Before “August Rush”, Highmore also appeared in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Finding Neverland”.
The story of “August …

Phat Girlz
I’m not a big “Chick Flik” guy but when I read the description of Phat Girlz and how it’s about a woman who tries to create a clothing line for bigger women, I was a bit intrigued. Too bad the movie is nothing like it’s description.
The problem with Phat …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
While Transformers began with children in mind, Revenge of the fallen couldn’t have landed further without earning an “R” rating. While the robots are more numerous and larger in size, I must say I am a little disappointed with the lack of responsibility taken up by the team to …
The Hound of the Baskervilles movie (2000)
Over the years, there have been an abundance of The Hound of the Baskervilles movies out there. It’s probably Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most recognized tale which features his classic Sherlock Holmes character. Playing the iconic role in this 2000 TV movie is Matt Frewer, who is …
Friends sitcom
I’m not quite sure just how many seasons this show was on but surely too many. For me it’s really boring to follow what is happening to the same group of six people for so many years. One thing is for sure, initially, it was quite a good show …
Toy Story
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Toy Story. Toy Story is about a boy named Andy. Andy has toys. These toys come to life whenever he leaves the room. Andy has a favorite toy named Woody. Woody is a cowboy. Woody’s voice is played by Tom Hanks. There …
Rocky IV
I haven’t watched any Rocky movies in a while. But, I was up with my daughter the other night and came across Rocky IV.
This is still one of the better Rocky movies ever made; even when it is cut up for television broadcast. Watching Rocky take on a guy …
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003 Drama Movie)
I heard of the movie Girl with a Pearl Earring long before I watched it, but I just figured that it would be one of those overblown movies that would only be popular because it had a Hollywood sex symbol playing one of the main roles. However, after forcing myself …
