Charlie’s Angels
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Charlie’s Angels. The last version I watched was the sequel, which I hated, so it was refreshing to see the original again.
While some parts of the movie are a bit dumb, this film, overall, isn’t too bad.
You have an all …

Wall-E
Pixar’s always done great work. Even with their already high bar, they raised it with Wall-E. Not only did they raise it, they did it with only half a script.
I kid you not, the first half of this film is practically dialogue free. When I heard …

Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf movie
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf is one of the outings that I always remember, probably because it featured two soap opera stars in the leads. It’s not that I’m a fan of either of them, as I’m not, but it’s just something I remember. The two actors are …

Ouija, Horror Movie (2014)
Despite the pre-release hype, Ouija didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s intended to be a horror movie but it’s weakened by a terrible cast and paltry directing. The screenplay of the movie is decent but it wasn’t utilized properly. As a horror movie, ‘Ouija’ completely fails. It wasn’t enjoyable …

The Nannies Diary
The actress, Scarlett Johansson is simply great in the role of the nanny Annie Braddock. I would have no problems leaving my two year old daughter with her, if she is in search for a full time nanny job which I doubt it!

Movie Fury of the Wolfman (1973)
Fury of the Wolfman (1973)
The first disappointing Waldemar film of Paul Naschy’s career was the victim of a haphazard production schedule that saw much of the film never actually shot and padded footage from Marca Del Hombre Lobo inserted.
Pretty standard fare has Waldemar bitten by the yeti (!) …

Freaky Friday

48 Hours
Lately, whenever you see Eddie Murphy in a movie, it is a family film. And, while movies like Dr. Doolittle and the Nutty Professor were good, they weren�t nearly as good as his earlier movies.

The Dark Knight
After hearing how good it was, I finally got around to watching the 2nd Batman movie, “The Dark Knight”. I thought it was well done. It definitely wasn’t just “thrown together” and had plenty of twists and turns to keep me entertained. I think that Christian …
