Janie Jones movie
I rarely like the movie called the name of a person. The films of this type is usually a boring drama. Similarly when I watched the film Janie Jones. I watched with low expectations. However, apparently this movie proves otherwise. This drama gives something fresh, with a simple acoustic …
Mutilation Ball
To give props where props are do: I really like the idea of Mutilation Ball, and the “sport” is animated brilliantly. I don’t know who came up with the idea of combining chain saws with basketball but for some strange reason it works, at least as it is …

The 40-Year-Old Version
This must be one of the filthiest comedy flicks out there - if I may call it comedy; make it one bit dirtier, and you’d be talking about porn. I am shocked to see some established reviewers praise this trash as not only funny but “sweet” and even “innocent.” …
One Fine Day
One Fine Day starring George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer is one of the finest romantic comedy movies I have ever seen The movie is a very well directed movie with great performances by the lead couple. Michelle Pfeiffer should be given a special mention here. She is so perfect …

Spiderman The Motion Picture
With great power comes great responsibility. With great movies comes greater ones. This is how I feel about the first Spiderman. I believe this movie moved the caliber of comic book-to-movie projects up a notch.
This movie showed that we can have great comic book movies with great characters and …
Ella Enchanted
I love Ella Enchanted. There’s a beautiful cast for this movie and they consist of Minnie Driver, Hugh Dancy, Anne Hathaway especially and many more.

Ice Age
Ice Age is a different movie set in the time of the Ice Age. It is definitely not for those who aren’t into animated films, since it follows the animated scheme a lot. It is a simple and entertaining story with some great scenes and it works. It isn’t …
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010): movie
I need to start off by saying that I never saw the original Nightmare on Elm Street, so I have nothing to compare the 2010 remake to. I can’t say which version is better. I approached the Night on Elm Street remake as I would any …
The Chumscrubber movie

You’ve Got Mail movie
You’ve Got Mail (1998) Starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks is a classic meg flick. She’s at her usual, quirky best; off beat and fun.
Hanks also known for his romantic comedies, mostly co-starring along side Meg; this movie won’t disappoint you.
You’ve Got Mail, a blast from the past remake …
Netflix
I worked at a video store for 3 years and so I got free rentals. However, the video store, “Hollywood Video”, didn’t really have everything I was looking for. Enter Netflix who has everything I could want. I keep thinking I’ll run out of stuff to want to watch …
Very Violent Film

Escape to Witch Mountain movie
Disney’s 1975 film, Escape to Witch Mountain, is a delight even now, decades later, as I write this review. The cast is terrific, and the story definitely entertains. It’s done with traditional family style and adventure, and even more so, there was a lot of heart, and …

Days of being wild movie
The chinese director Wong Kar-Wai is my absolute favorite to appear during the last 20 years. Days of being wild is only his second film ever, made in the early 1990s, but already here he showed his amazing talent with an entirely unique way of putting images together and …
Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? movie
Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? from 1978 is a movie that I really didn’t expect to tolerate, let alone enjoy. I say only because when it started, I could tell that it was British and the opening bit wasn’t my style. I groaned in …

Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother
This is a tough one. Bright cast, and comedy done in the style of Mel Brooks’ comedy, prevalent during the 70s, this film showed great promise. But for me, while quaint, this film did not deliver on it’s character expectations.
The story centers around Segerson Holmes, jealous older brother of …

Robin Hood: Men in Tights movie
