I know all of Michael Jackson’s songs, especially the …

Mr. Adam’s Bomb from 1949 was a really weird film that catered to an offbeat story line that frankly bored me and barely had a comprehendible plot. It opens in an entertaining way, with a man named Johnson doing the jitterbug with the maid. It is probably …

I’ve never been a big fan of Westerns so I was reluctant to watch this movie (even though it is set in more modern times).
However, I was actually pleasantly surprised by this film.
Tom Selleck is awesome in this movie as his character, Quigley takes on an Australian Land Baron …

I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy The Pride of Jesse Hallam, a 1981 movie that I recently had the chance to see. I just didn’t think it would appeal to me. Plus, the star was Johnny Cash (playing the title role), and usually I don’t tend to …

While I was wary of rebooting the Spider-Man franchise so soon after Sam Raimi’s franchise was launched, I actually rather enjoyed ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’. It had a strong cast and did enough to stand on its own as opposed to just feeling like a carbon copy of the …

More likely than not, anyone who readily enjoyed the first three Scary Movie flicks to be released, will also have a great appreciation for their newest release to the world of dvd’s! Scary Movie 4, like its brother and sister movies, takes already made movies and adds a …

“The Lone Ranger” is more than just a western. It delicately combines the ironic take on the genre and the homage to the similar European and American classics. To me “The Lone Ranger” is something like “Pirates of the Caribbean”, but in the Wild West. Here, in contrast with …

From the previews, the movie, Dukes of Hazzard, looks absolutely stupid and something I would never watch in a million years.

The Dukes of Hazzard is an entertaining film that essentially spoofs the television series …

While looking for another comedy to watch, I came across a not-so-popular movie that was considered as a gem by a number of people who watched it. I was informed that watching it generally evoked one of two strong feelings in an audience as I would either love it or …

Considering it had Paris Hilton in the starring role and the fact it came straight to DVD, I had a lot of doubts about the film The Hottie & The Nottie.
After all, this is 2008, you would think a movie that focuses just on a woman’s looks rather than …

I think Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a very cool and creative movie. I also think it’s pretty scary to see how drugs can affect you. I mean I’ve never done hard drugs before and by the looks of what happened in this movie, I never will do …

After three successful movies on the big screen, Hollywood brought the girl midget (hence, gidget) surfer to the small screen. It was the big break for Sally Field, who took on the Gidget role. It brought her recognition. It still bugs me that she sneers at …

The great thing about this movie is you …

If comedy-action movies are your thing, then “Tropic Thunder” is a must-see. If not, I would still suggest checking it out as this movie provides more laughs than I ever expected.
