I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …

I watched this film with a little apprehension. I rented it primarily to see if Danny Boyle’s production would capture all the nuances of his other films that I liked. “28 Days Later”, another movie that starred Cilian Murphy–had this really eerie atmosphere that reeked of high …

“Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle” was supposed to be the sequel to the previous Charlie’s Angles movie “Charlie’s Angels” which was released in the year 2000. I found I liked the sequel much less than I liked the previous movie for very many reasons. One of those reasons was that …

I don’t think I’d be wrong to say that the best thing about this movie is the dog. She is beautiful, original, and has reached heights of acting that even Jack Nicholson could not contact. And if it suddenly occurs to you for a moment that the grumpy writer melted …

Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief movie adaptation is one of the most interesting movie I have watched to date. I am a mythology fan and being able to see mythology merge with the modern world is a superb treat for me.

A lot of people don’t like Jim Carrey’s comedy and, when he first hit Hollywood, people didn’t think much of him. However, his movie, The Number 23, shows a range of acting skill that might surprise a lot of people.
Carrey plays an animal control worker who is given a …

Tom Hanks is one of the finest actors hollywood has ever seen. He proved it by winning two academy awards for his great performances. I recently watched his movie Turner and Hooch on DVD and found the movie very boring and just waste of money and also waste of …

“Crash” (2004) is movie about a series of car crashes and the events that lead up to the crash. The movie last 115 and, frankly could be cut without serious harm. “Crash” is a Bull’s Eye Entertainment production in English and filmed in color on sets and locations throughout Los …

It looks like Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace took a lot of time coming. It was almost like the long wait for James Cameron’s Avatar, many years after Titanic established itself as the unbeatable hit. Therefore, when it finally came to the theaters, naturally …

A Christmas Carol, 1999, starring Patrick Stewart, has left me disappointed. I love the story, and I thought Stewart could make a good Scrooge, but his performance had not touched me at all.

Overall it’s a alright movie. It wasn’t that funny but it did have some funny parts in it. I did laugh a couple times but nothing was hilarious. It also dragged out somewhat. It was really long. It was kind of boring and I just wanted the movie to …

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 movie is all about six friends …

This quirky little movie stars one of my favorite actresses, Natasha Gregson Wagner. There is something insipid and coy about the roles she tends to play. And her stuffy, rebellious role of “Violet” in this movie is no different. This film is sort of a cat …

This movie has got to be one of the most distracting, annoying, over developed, load of crap that I have ever had the torture of watching in my entire life. From the opening scene, even though things started off pretty and grand, it made a very hasty effort to …

Who can forget the wonderful musical, West Side Story? No one that I know. This is Romeo and Juliet brought to us on the streets of New York. It’s vibrant and colorful, and yet it’s just as tragic as the Shakespearean love birds previously mentioned.

We all are familiar with Cinderella right? Well this is another version but a little of the spoof version as I may say.
I grew up listening to the happy endings of Cinderella and was even watching its cartoon series on the television. When I saw this movie I wonder …

Picking up where “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” leaves off, “Diamonds are Forever” is one of the weaker Bond movies in the series and a personal low for Sean Connery. It’s a shame that the original James Bond returned for this one as he should have left the franchise …
