Last evening I watched the movie Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age.
I usually as a rule like period piece movies. However, I thought even though Cate Blanchett did a good job of acting the part of
Elizabeth the 1st and the costumes were extravagant, the movie was merely mediocre. Some …

Titanic is one of the most educational yet romantic and sad films I have ever seen. The film is told by an old lady who was on the titanic when it sank. It is told as a story of what happened to her from the moment she entered the …

I watched this movie today on lifetime movie network. They are doing this thing today called “the perfect sunday”. This was a pretty decent movie, overall I enjoyed it. My biggest complaint is that the ending could have been a lot better. I kind of felt like the ending …

I sometimes enjoy watching children’s movies, especially when they have some wittiness and humor aimed at adults. Looney Toons: Back in Actio was a really fun movie, and appropriate for both children and adults. The movie featured Looney Toons characters such as Yosemite Sam, the Tazmanian Devil, Marvin the …

The Werewolf’s Shadow (1970) (aka Night of Walpurgis and Werewolf vs The Vampire Woman)
Three cheers to Anchor Bay for releasing the most complete version of this Paul Naschy werewolf classic! It is a huge step up over the rotten, heavily edited VHS version BLOOD MOON that was released twenty …

I have been very lucky to find a DVD of an excellent benefit concert, recorded live at Warren Haynes 18th Annual Christmas Jam on December 16, 2006, at the Asheville Civic Center, North Carolina. DVD is recently released, on June 24, 2008.
Warren Haynes is a member of the …

I have seen The Hills Have Eyes, both the original and the remake. After watching the original, it made me wonder why anyone would decide to remake it. Not because the movie is so great, but because it isn’t very good. Going into the remake, I didn’t think I …

Another perennial favorite, like The Wizard of Oz, I eagerly looked forward to my yearly visit to my favorite chocolate factory. Returning each year were the five kids, each representing bad habits parents wish their kids wouldn’t develop: Augustus Gloop and his greediness and gluttony, Veruca Salt the selfish …

With a cast of actors such as George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Diane Lane, the movie “The Perfect Storm” had a certain guarantee to be a good movie. I must say that after watching it, what really stole the scene in this movie are the extraordinary special effects. It …

When I watched the Starz Saturday night premiere for this movie, I couldn’t help wondering why this movie was not promoted very much before and when it hit theaters. I believe that it was hands down one of the best suspense movies I had seen in a long while …

This was one of the most touching films I have ever seen. But I will admit that while watching most of it, I thought: “Is this guy a dumb azz?” I am only saying this because despite his contempt for materialism, he seemed completely unprepared for …

Quite honestly, I have yet to see any of the Batman movies, though I’ve seen lots of clips and stories on filming them throughout the years. I remember back in the era when this Batman & Robin movie was filmed. There were a number of media segments …

I must say that I love Diane Lane. She tends to have this quiet sex appeal that translates very well on screen whether she’s playing a seductive role or not. In any rate, I’m not used to seeing her in thrillers. But this particular movie was …

I first saw the trailer for the movie Oculus when I had gone to see something else at the cinema. It looked promising at the time because it felt a little more different than the multitudes of supernatural horror movies that had come out during that period of time and …

Before watching this movie, I asked some of my friends about “Shawn of the Dead” since I didn’t want to waste my money watching foolishness in the theatres. At that time I got mixed reactions. There were people to said that the movie was hilarious and there were others …

Steve Forrest wasn’t a favorite actor of mine, but he did do several movies and TV shows that I liked, which balanced all the performances I didn’t like of his. This movie, The Hanged Man from 1974, is somewhat in the middle.
If you didn’t know it, the film …

I took my 10yr old grandson to see ‘Happy Feet’ during the Christmas holidays. We couldn’t get in to see the movie we wanted to see so settled for that one. Came out clicking our heels. Well, I did. He’s not a kid who likes the turtles or action …

I had already heard so much about the movie from my friends and really wanted to see this highly recommended action flick from a long time. So, finally I went to the nearest shop to rent the DVD. Just an hour ago I finished watching a movie which …

I sat down and watched this movie with my whole family. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It was original and unique, not like a lot of other movies out today. It had it’s own storyline to it. There was hardly any gory parts in the movie, if …

I loved the movie, “Glory Road.” I am a huge basketball fan, and this movie was the true story of the first coach to start five black players in the NCAA final game.
Because of the times, the movie had some lines which were no doubt truly spoken at …

Val Kilmer’s time out as Batman isn’t a bad turn at the helm, but it’s certainly not as strong as the original 89 movie with Michael Keaton in the role. Still this film had a great caste, but it made the same mistake that has killed so many other …

A man with little intelligence is used by the people of his home city as a lawnmower. One day, a scientist who performs experiments on apes get the idea of using the lawnmower man as his new object. Something goes wrong and the lawnmower man becomes intelligent instead, and …

I don’t usually like to watch movies from the seventies or eighties; but I made an exception and watched the movie “Foxes” today which was released in nineteen eighty. The first thing which attracted me to it too ewas the fact that it starred a much younger version of …

Another pitiful attempt in trying to create a horror movie, why do they even bother, it’s clear to see that they don’t have a clue about scaring people. This film is plagued with alot of misdirection or better yet, no direction at all. If this man is supposed to …

I saw this movie, and you have got to believe this I was in some kind of hallucination or translation while I was watching it. The movie really pulled me into it and I was almost like lost in it. It was as if you have entered some kind …

I have heard about the most stocking make believe movie about America Foring Canada to merge with America. A very bad move and if that happend in real life then things will be different. Two years later in the movie, There are Shooting in Other Country and the CIA …

You will probably notice how much I love this movie through my pen name.I bought each DVD before, and then after the final movie i have decided that I should purchased the complete Lord of the rings limited edition DVD package. This is like a definitely-must have to all …

When I bought Project Moonbase, I was expecting to see a sprawling, scientifically accurate moon city, especially when I knew it was written by Robert Heinlein, one of the giants of literary science fiction. I was even further encouraged when I saw the spectacular opening titles, set against …

This was the funniest American serial comedy of all time for me. It is simply funny and not that typical funny, but a smart one. I am a big fan of this serial, The Big Bang Theory. Until now, it has reached season two and over 20 episodes of …

Whenever Hollywood produces a movie about superheroes that is successful at the box office, it isn’t unusual to see them attempt to make a sequel. Usually, the sequel is nowhere near as good as the original.
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a perfect example of this.
When I …

I just got back from the movies and I have to say The Incredible Hulk 2 is so much better than any of the other Hulk movies or TV show in the past. It is a great story line that really follows the original comic book story much closer …

This movie was meant to be a psychological thriller but it was not. Sure there was a twist in it, but I did not feel much thrill or suspense in watching it at all. To be really honest it was boring and slow.
The main character, Ben, commits …

This is a busy movie. So much hinges on it. I think this movie hinged, moving away from a pure children’s film to a more teen or older movie. The themes and atmosphere gained maturity, right alongside the characters.
By busy I mean that this film had to introduce several …

The “It’s Complicated” movie with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin is a fantastic movie. It is a very “grown-up” movie (rated R) meaning that it deals with adult issues and emotions. Streep’s performance goes without saying: awesome, honest, mature, whitty, and real. Baldwin plays such …

This is a 1998 film starring Norm Mcdonald where two friends start a business where people call them to take revenge out on people to raise money to save Sam’s father who needs an operation. They play practical jokes, or more serious antics that get people fired from their …

A film about a crew of actors in Poland during the outbreak of World War II and the german occupation. The film is all american production with actors like Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft, and that takes away a lot of the credibility to be honest. If they were …

Francis and his friend or more likely shopping companion, Marie (played by Moni Chokri ) do not play out their love newcomers Nicolas (played by Niels Schneider ), but they take some crooked glances, and a crush develops independently of Nicolas.
Of course, that with his curly blonde hair and …

Just about 12 hours ago, I went to see the X-Files: I Want To Believe movie. I knew there was a lot of mixed reviews in regards to the movie, but I really wanted to see for myself as I am an X-Files fan at heart.
I went and saw …

I find that with mainstream movies there’s very little to talk about. I usually get information from the culture and arts section of many a magazine or newspaper and shy away from the hype. People continue to brood over the movie Under the Skin, despite that it …

I had a chance to watch a couple movies yesterday evening before settling down for the night. One of the movies I came across was the film Superhero Movie.
I have seen a lot of “spoof” movies in the past and have had mixed opinions about them. Most of them …

I recently rented the movie Failure to Launch with Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker. I originally rented the movie purely because Matthew McConaughey is quite attractive, but it ended up being a great laugh. The concept is that Matthews character is 35 and he still lives at …

When I was in middle school Sleepy Hollow was the movie to see. Of course, it was not necessarily a movie that middle school children should have watched but that did not mean anything to us then. All most of my friends and I wanted to see was Johnny …

One of those Hollywod mixtures between asian martial-arts and plain old-fashioned action that features Jet Li in the role of a cop in seek of revenge for his brother’s death. Every time someone is shot in this film, we see the audience penetrate the human flesh on some kind …
