What initially began appearing inside Giant and Shoppers grocery marts, the “Red Box,” are now emerging in increasing numbers and outside convenient stores, such as the 7-Eleven in walking distance of my home. These tall, red-colored ATM-like DVD rental kiosks provide the customer with an inexpensive and convenient …

Separate Lies was released in 2005 and I knew as soon as it started that I probably wouldn’t like it. For one thing, the list of actors, overall, aren’t my style. Tom Wilkinson, for example, supposedly as talent, but he bores me, not to mention he’s often …

His was a good episode, a little overly dramatic …

As far as documentaries go, The Garden, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Film, has everything that I love in this genre of film. It is a film that depicts the battle for a 14 acre piece of land in south central Los Angeles following …

At first I really wanted to see this film. The previews looked incredibly scary. And as usual the powers that be put the scariest, most disturbing scenes in the actual trailer. I cannot believe that I actually was going to visit the movie theater …

I liked the movie, ‘Marley & Me’ because it’s the story of a family that learns lessons important for life from their naughty and obsessed dog. Although I found the movie to be very beautiful and quite heart warming, there were scenes that were sensitive and touching too. The …

I admit I watched this one after missing Channing Tatum. I don’t know if this is his second movie after Step Up however this was the movie that I see two of my favorite hunk Channing Tatum and Robert Hoffman. Ironically, after this movie, Robert Hoffman starred in second …

I can’t think of general Douglas MacArthur without thinking of Gregory Peck and the 1977 film MacArthur is the reason.
Peck plays the legendary World War II and Korea leader in this entertaining, yet somewhat biased film. And, overall, he does a pretty good job at it.
I liked this movie …

When extreme worries arise, the darker side of human nature occasionally raises its ugly head. The quest for self-preservation may be suddenly thrust upon us at that time; the consequences leaving us with a bitter taste in our mouths.

Such is the case when a group of former high school …

It took me a while to realize how much I really love this movie. The story is very dark. The burnt amber tones in the film provide a sick feeling throughout the production. The killer, played by Javier Bardem was one of the most …

When I was growing up, the Bad News Bears movies were very popular. So, when the remake came out staring Billy Bob Thorton, I was skeptical.

Depp does an excellent job as John Dillinger, public enemy number 1 who is hunted …

Just imagine Lassie with super powers, Good Boy with manners and you get Underdog. If you loved watching movies featuring animals, then you probably already know how this movie will end. It was really painful to watch, and I had to endure it for a long time since I …

“The Wedding Singer” is definitely one of the movies mostly related to Adam Sandler. Personally I was very much looked forward to watch this movie after I saw the trailer, however in the end it failed to reach my expectations. I expected a funnier Adam Sandler like in the …

Well, when I rented the film Dark Harvest, I thought it would turn out to be something scary. Instead, it turned out to be yet another terrible horror film that lacked both scares and believable plot.
You have a guy who is adopted and seeks to learn more about his …

I’m going to be completely honest and say that I had absolutely no intention of watching the movie Red 2 since I felt that it wasn’t going to be as good as the first movie. My feelings about it strengthened when I saw the trailer for it and noticed …

With a star cast of some of the greatest entertainers of all time. Charlie Sheen, Cary Elwes and Lloyd Bridges pull out all the stops with one of the greatest comedies to come to the silver screen second to the likes of Blazing Saddles. You will not be able …

A fairytale story about some teenagers finding themselves in the world of Snow White, Cinderella and lots of other fairytale characters when walking through Central Park in New York.
A film clearly intended for young teenagers, but if you look at it in that way I actually have to admit …

I rented this unwittingly believing that this would be a quirky and fun little film. What surprised me more than anything was the movie’s ability to bore me to pieces within the first few minutes. I should have known that if Ricki Lake was in …

The Simpsons Movie is the best movie of the summer so far. It is full of hilarious scenes that will keep you laughing to the very end. As usual, Homer is an idiot, and Bart is a bad influence for children. Over all the antics in …

I bought this film the day it came out on video, and for good reason: it’s spectacular. One of the songs in the film is entitled “Spectacular Spectacular,” which pretty much sums up the entire movie. From start to finish this film is brilliant - from the light to …

I haven’t watched the unedited version (as in, actual movie not one edited for TV) of Police Academy in years. But, after watching it again last weekend, I have to say I now realize just how good it was.
Other movies have tried to put together an insane group of …

A dead body is supposed to be in church for the remembrance service, but the undertakers are running out of time and needs to take some shortcuts to make it. This is a comedy in the same fashion as a Buster Keaton film, although not close to the same …

I was torn into two pieces by this movie. I didn’t want to see it at first because I thought it would be extremely stupid. And I believed this due to Sacha Baron Cohen’s appearances on television shows as “Bruno.” The character himself was not funny at all, to …

Indian is one of the finest movies in Tamil Cinema. This movie is produced by A.M. Ratnam for his own production unit Sri Surya Movies. The story and screenplay wrote by Shankar. Also he directed the movie. …

WHen I saw the movie “17 Again” advertising earlier on this year, I had no intention of watching it for several reasons. The main one was because the lead actor was supposed to be the Disney actor Zac Effron who is famous for movies such as High School Musical …

Though this movie can be considered a highly complicated film because of its astounding special effects and nerve-wracking code-breaking features, its groundwork is very simple: deception.
On the outset of the story, a monologue from the antagonist tackles how powerful media had been, how it has influenced people’s belief, and …

The 2010 film “Love and Other Drugs” staring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal, was not only funny but very heart warming and the perfect film to see if you are looking for comedy, romance, and great acting that will make you want to cry, laugh, sigh or all three.
Jake …

Greencine is another company that offers dvd rentals by mail just like blockbuster and netflix. They had a free trial a while back but I don’t know if they still do. The main reason I didn’t care for them is because they didn’t have a lot of movie titles …

Unfortunately, they rarely show “The Mississippi Gambler” on television much nowadays, but, when it does come on, I consider it a personal treat, since Tyrone Power is one of my favorite classic screen actors.
In this movie, he plays Mark Fallon, a skilled riverboat gambler from an old …

Who doesn’t love this movie ?!? It has Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker in it ! I own it on DVD and in my ipod; I adore those cheesy Halloween-y witch-y movies. I don’t give summaries on my reviews because I don’t want to give the plot away. …

What a dark and magical film this is. I had heard things about this movie. And as usual, I waited until the Oscar hype had died down before venturing out and renting it. I am certainly glad I did. This story, placed in 1944 revolves …

One of my favorite comedy movies. I watched this movie I would say about a month ago. It’s a great comedy movie. My favorite thing about the movie is that it keeps you laughing throughout the entire thing. They do fall down a lot on their motorcycles but they …

I actually came across the movie “Hollow Reed” by accident before I had never even heard of it and when I saw it starting it seemed that nothing else worth watching was being aired on cable television at the time. To make things even better, the movie was a …

This is one of my most love animation movies. I saw this film when I was still a child and I enjoyed watching it so much. This movie made my imagination work and also left me a lot of lessons. Although 3D animation was not yet that advance at …
