Murder by Death,1976 movie
When people have too much money and nothing to do, they do weird stuff. That’s what happens in this movie: Lionel Twain (Truman Capote), a millionaire, invites five of the world’s best and most famous detectives to what he calls “dinner and a murder.” Their task is to A) …
Tempo di Viaggio movie
Andrei Tarkovsky is one of my absolute favorite directors. A true cinematic artist who wanted to make the cinema just as impressive an art as painting, music or literature, and I have to say he succeeded with his mission, although he died to soon, only about 50 years of …
Haywire (2011 film)
I am actually happy that I watched this movie for free and not in the cinema paying some kind of ticket. Well, I would say it is a strange movie; I did not understand if it was meant to be an action one or something else. Because you can …
The Exorcist, movie
I still find the “Exorcist” scary, and it won’t matter how old I get, how many times I see it, or who I’m with when I watch it, It will always petrify me. The story holds up well among similar films, and time has been kind to the movie …
Armageddon
Man, how much cooler can you get? The 1999 movie, Armageddon, is one of my all time favorites. I love Bruce Willis. And for once, he’s not really in his Die Hard McClane character. He’s still a tough as nails oil driller named Harry Stamper who is charged with …
The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio (movie)
I think that one of the most interesting movies that I watched this year was one named “The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio”. I had actually seen the movie name on display on my cable guide a number of times before, but I never actually worked up the interest …
VeggieTales Movie: An Easter Carol
My daughter loves VeggieTales. So, I was glad when I could load a bunch of movies and TV episodes for her on our Netflix player.
One of the short movies I was able to find for her, just in time for Easter, was An Easter Carol. I wasn’t sure what …
Movie Waterworld
The movie Waterworld was on cable the other night and, because I haven’t seen it in a while, I decided to sit down and watch it.
I remembered it being much better than it turned out to be.
I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan but I will say he put …
Pandora’s Clock
The reason I tuned into Pandora’s Clock, a 1996 TV movie, was because it starred Richard Dean Anderson, who is one of my favorite performers. I’ll start with the girlish stuff and get that out of the way. In a uniform, Anderson is yummy. He just …
Where Got Ghost? movie
Jack Neo label it as Hor-medy. There are a total of 3 stories in this movie and I would say that the stories are short enough but not that bad in making me laugh.
I enjoyed at least 2 of the stories and in a way, it’s not …
8mm (1999)
Incriminating images are discovered on am 8mm roll of film when a wealthy widow and her lawyer were busy going through the safe of her late husband. They hire a private investigator to look into the matter which involved a murder being committed by a very large man, according …

Rave Theater
I love to go and watch a movie at the theater. We have a new theater that has not been built but a couple of years. I am very impressed with this movie theater, it is called the Rave Motion Theater. The seats are very comfortable and designed so …
Inception Movie (2010)
The last movie I saw was Inception (2010). It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levit (Arthur), Ellen Page (Ariadne),Tom Hardy (Eames),Ken Watanabe(Saito) Dileep Rao (Yusuf) and Cillian Murphy (Robert Fischer, Jr.). This is by-far the best mind bending movie I have seen in a long time.
I think …
Run Lola Run - Movie (Watch Lola Watch)
The first time I picked this up, it was displayed on the bottom shelve in the library. I remember that it stared that chick from “The Bourne Identity” (Franka Potente).
I decided to watch the trailer and had no idea what the plot was about, other than the fact it’s …
The Haunting of #24 (movie)
I was really surprised by this film. In watching the previews, I was a bit surprised that the film was as decent as it was. This is because the previews were really wack. The movies advertised were so below par, that I thought I …
Wolfman Movie
This movie is set in the year 1891 in London, and it features Emily Blunt as the estranged fiance of Benicio Del Toro’s brother; Emily asks for help from Benicio as his brother and her fiance is missing, and together also with the help of the gentlemen, who is …
Enchanted movie
Enchanted is an American musical movie starring Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey and Susan Sarandon in a pivotal role. The movie is a very good romantic entertainer and has some very good musical numbers to it’s credits. The well executed plot and the performances of the major star cast helped …
Surrogates (Movie)
I thought this movie was going to be good, but it is tastefully overexaggerated. The movie is all about people using robots as surrogates to live in the world, and it features Bruce Willis as Tom Greer, his wife Rosamund Pike as Maggie, Radha Mitchell as Peters, James Cromwell …
DVD Jonny Quest-The Complete First Season (1964)
AT LONG LAST A QUALITY RELEASE FOR THE LEGENDARY CLASSIC SERIES! Groundbreaking and original, the series played on all three networks through the 60’s, 70’s and even into the 80’s! Not only has the entire run been digitally remastered it is presented in uncut format for the first …
The Room, movie (2003)
Those who know me know I can enjoy a bad movie. Between a childhood of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and exposing myself to as much cinema I could get my hands on as an adult, I’ve seen quite a few stinkers in my experience. But just when …
Planet Earth documentary
I watched the documentary special series called “Planet Earth”.
The shows were about the different geographical bodies of our planet and the animals which live in them.
I really liked the series. I thought each episode had something interesting to offer. Some of the still shots and photography was stunning.
There …
The Interview (comedy movie)
With all the controversy surrounding the movie “The Interview” I knew I just had to watch it from the very day I heard about it. Therefore, I waited until Sony Pictures made it available for my viewing by streaming it on Youtube, and frankly it was just as I expected. …
Norbit
When I first watched the movie Norbit, in the theater, I wasn’t really impressed by it. However, after watching it again last night, I have to admit I found it a lot better on DVD.
My biggest objection to Norbit the first time I watched it is I felt it …
Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair
Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride return for their fourth straight movie as this lovable couple from the country. Though much is made out of their large family, the kids aren’t seen all that much. There is a focus on one of the older children, though, named Rosie. …

Made of Honor, romantic comedy film
When was the last time you wanted to watch a movie about a man and woman that love each other and they don’t know it? Most likely you have seen movies like this before and Made of Honor doesn’t hide the fact that certain sequences are identical. Even with …
12 Angry Men movie
The original 12 Angry Men is a movie I can, and have, watched over and over again. It’s a contained movie, all about the 12 men who are on the jury for a youth accused of murdering his father. We don’t see the trial. We see …
Nine to Five movie (1980)
I remember seeing “Nine to Five” for the first time when I was only twelve years old. I loved it then, and I love it just as much today. I still like to watch parts of it whenever it appears on TV. To all the ladies out there, this …
Bad Santa
This movie I thought was one of the most absolutly hilarious movies that I have seen in a really long time. Billy Bob Thorton plays a Santa that you would not want your kids to sit in his lap. He is rude, condescending, and a drunk that cusses way …
101 Dalmations
I am reviewing the Disney movie, 101 Dalmations. I am a huge dog lover and so this movie is perfect for me. I also love the whole London scene, even though I’ve never been there. I would like to go someday. This movie is about Pongo and …
Basic Instinct (1992)
Basic Instinct, directed by Paul Verhoeven is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong violence and sensuality, and for drug use and language. The original release date for this movie was March 20, 1992 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of …
Hulk (2003)
Here is another example of why Hollywood should stay as far away from comic book remakes as possible. This movie is so bad, it makes ‘bad’ seem like a candy bar. At first when the movie started, I was all geared up to enjoy Hulk style destruction similar to …
Knowing movie
I saw the movie —˜Knowing’ last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after —˜Raising Arizona.’ The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …
Strike Commando, movie (1987)
Italian films of the early 70’s to late 80’s had a reputation of knocking off American hit films. Despite the low budgets, the films had a charming quality about them. Director Bruno Mattei was one of a number of directors to make a career of delivering the …
Masters of Horror: the Deer Woman movie
this movie, directed by the team of Joe Landis and his son, was more of a comedy than horror movie despite being labeled as one of the masters of horror movies. The plot was very silly. It revolved around a strange death. A man in his …
Dragnet
When you see today’s current movies, it’s hard to forget that Tom Hanks was once a comedian and Dan Aykroyd was once a star who could carry a movie. If you want to remember what things were like in the late 80s and 90s, Dragnet is the movie you …
Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) movie
I was a bit skeptical going into this movie it could have gone either way good or bad. I had heard mixed reviews from friends also both good and bad so honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I rented this movie.
The story is pretty simple four old …
The Happening movie
This movie is film making at its worst. The plot was weak and at many times didn’t make much sense. We learn the “twist” in the first twenty minutes of the movie! There is no drama build up to the twist like a good suspense movie, …
Con Air (1997)
Nicholas Cage stars in this edge of your seat action film. He is on his way home from prison, when the worst happens…what’s that you say, what can go wrong? The plane he was on, where every passenger is actually a prisoner is hijacked by some of the very …
Camp Rock
I was waiting for New Year’s Eve and to pass time I had a movie marathon all by myself. The last movie I watched was Camp Rock because I had no other choice. It’s an original Disney Channel movie starring Demi Lovato as a teenager who went to her …
Tenchi Muyo
“Tenchi Muyo” was one of the first anime series I can remember watching regularly when I was a teenager. It was also one of my favorites. The show would be aired on a programme called “Toonami” which would be broadcast on weekday afternoons on the cable television channel Cartoon …
This Is It movie
I have always been a Michael Jackson fan, and as long as I can remember, I loved his music and was in awe of his dancing ability. As with almost everyone I know, his death was a shock, and I wanted to see the new movie about his last …
The Great Gatsby (movie)
One of the movies that I watched very recently was “The Great Gatsby”. It was the most recent film adaptation of the classical novel bearing a similar name. Up to a couple minutes before I began watching it, I honestly had no idea whether or not I would enjoy …
Movie The Invasion
Overall it was an alright movie. It’s nothing like I thought it was going to be. It would be an alright movie to watch on a rainy day but if you are looking for a really good movie I wouldn’t choose this one. It did keep me some what …
Disney’s Pinocchio
Pinocchio holds a special place for me. When I was a young boy, my stepfather and I had a �quiet� relationship. One of the motivations to get my sisters and I to do our chores was a reward. That reward was we got to pick between eating out or …
Avatar movie
Alright, I’ll admit it: I’m one of the few people out there that actually didn’t go to the movie theater to see this movie. I rarely go to the theater period, mainly because I feel that it’s just so outrageously expensive. I do kind of regret not going to …
Ehit
Ehit is a online site that allows you to rent movies through the mail just like netflix and blockbuster does. They have a free trial that you can try out the service. They send you two movies in one envelope. I think the cheapest price that they offer is …

I grew up with “The Dark Crystal”. It was one of my favorite movies then, and it’s one of my favorite movies now.
