First, let the record show that I have no idea why this version was unrated. The original 70’s version seemed far more sinister and graphic to me. But I suppose in this day and age, filmmakers had to do something to get people to rent the DVD. …

Rhythm in the Clouds from 1937 just did nothing for me in spite of the fact that on the surface it had a story that might normally intrigue me. To be honest, I am not certain why that lure did not happen.

This movie was utterly depressing. I think many couples would be quite stricken after watching this. It may be focused on married couples, but I think that the theme encompasses all relationships anywhere in the world because it tackles a very important yet often overlooked issue: communication.
The Wheelers …

This is that movie about Rescue Swimmers from the US Coast Guard. From the previews I had seen earlier, I had expected it to be mostly all action - terrifying action among huge ocean waves. And the movie did start out that way. In fact, the opening scene is …

Out of all of the Star Wars movies that came out in the 90’s, episode VI “Return of the Jedi” is my favorite. I had thought that the first two films made in the 90’s were incredible and that nothing could top them, but “Return of the Jedi” was …

I have seen the most recent version of the movie Hairspray and I absolutely loved it. So, I decided to take the time to watch a slightly older version, the 1988 version that starred Ricki Lake in the lead role.
OK, the movie is essentially the same as the remake …

There are only a few movies in this world that can out-do or come better than the original, and I’ll tell you that Final Destination 2 is not one of them. The plot is not very different from before, neither are the gruesome killings. While it is interesting to …

This movie depicts many woman’s ideal job. It would be fun, in my opinion, to plan the perfect wedding, nailing down every detail, including the perfect best man’s speech.

Not very many movies can make me cover my eyes, but The Happening definitely did just that. This M. Night Shyamalan movie didn’t scare me per say, but it put me on the edge of my seat for the entire movie. Most of the …

This movie is absolutely amazing.
Firstly, the casting of the characters was simply perfect. There’s no denying the newly-discovered Nikki Blonsky IS Tracy Turnblad. She can act, and she can sing (BOYYY, can she sing!). John Travolta is hilarious as Edna Turnblad, and he can really move in that fat …

I take great delights from viewing films based on fine literature. Mostly I like to see the author’s descriptions translated into the picture as well as the embodiment of the characters, which altogether makes for an extended annotation to the book. I came upon a criterion copy …

My daughter loves the show Wow Wow Wubbzy so, when we were surfing our Netflix instant movies last night and came across Wubbzy’s big movie, she absolutely wanted to watch it.

What a complete croc…in other words, it’s utter CRAP!!! Characters were under-developed and unconvincing, storyline was dumn and hard to follow, CGI was poorly done and, oh yeah, it’s CRAP (did I say that already?). It makes no sense wasting words to describe how terrible this movie is, so, …
