War and Peace: A Film by King Vidor (1956)
Once again, I’m back to watching Audrey Hepburn movies. I was anticipating War and Peace to replicate the same picture of the actress as the other regal-themed, A Roman Holiday, yet the movie wasn’t focused primarily on her character and I ended enjoying the whole film instead. …
Transformers Animated Series - Jazz Action Figure
Jazz is definitely one of the best action figures in the Transformers Animated Series toy line! He is equally awesome in robot mode and car mode, and he retains enough of his look from the original series that you recognize him as Jazz. However, his figure is …
Sherlock Holmes: The Woman in Green
I love Sherlock Holmes books and have heard good things about some of the old black & white Sherlock Holmes movies. So, since I was once again up with our youngest daughter last night, I decided to give one of them a try Sherlock Holmes: The Woman in Green.
The …

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Movie
At the time of its release, it was an amazing film with wonderful acrobatics, animation and storyline…the characters were well casted also. Imaginative choreography with hand to hand combat and weapons fighting. It was the talk of the town then and it’s a great film to watch even now. …

Short Circuit 1986 Movie
For the longest time, I had completely forgotten about this movie. It used to be one of my favorite films of all time as a child, than I rediscovered it again as an adult for one reason. The Pixar movie, Wall-E. Wall-E really reminded me of Johnny 5 from …
Asterix and the Olympics
First, I can’t remember the first Asterix movie I watched, but I remember it was very funny. I’m disappointed by this one though, more details later. If you’ve read their comics, then you know that Asterix and Obelix are a lovable character from the Gaul village in …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
As a big Harry potter fan I went to see the motion picture Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the local movie theatre. However I must say that I am disappointed. David Yates does not do justice to the book at all. I see it as …

Years ago we my son and I were at the beach in Ocean City and we became bored. We decided to get out of the hot sun and go see a movie. We saw a film called a League of Their Own, starring Tom Hanks, one of …
Fired Up (Movie) 2009
I really enjoy watching comedy movies. One day as I was surfing channels I was able to see the movie Fired Up in Star Movies.
Fired Up is about two guys who are football jocks who want to go and join the cheerleading camp just to be able to check …
The War Room (2015 film)
The Kendrick Brothers (Alex, Shannon and Stephen) have been making Christian-based films for over a decade now and they just keep getting better. They started out with the decidedly low budget “Flywheel” in 2003 and their fifth (and latest) film is 2015’s “War Room,” the best of the lot.
Here’s the …

21 Jump Street (2012)
21 Jump Street isn’t the greatest movie ever. In my opinion, it isn’t even close. However, that doesn’t mean that this movie isn’t worth watching. I find that it has some cheesy moments, a slight romance, but mostly comedy and action. I appreciate a good hardcore guns blazing shooting …
Zorro,movie
Action-packed and fast-paced. If that’s what you are looking for, you wouldn’t be disapppointed. The movies moves at a breathless pace through a rather convoluted plot about some ancient secret society wanting to destroy the fledging United States of America. The plot hinges on transporting some explosives to the …
The Woman In Black Movie
It is always nice for me to remind myself of the classical English works, especially those who have a slight horror twist. But even better is for the reader, such as myself, to see everything on the screen where the images from the book come to life , and …
Round-Up Time in Texas movie
After watching a bunch of old westerns with Tex Ritter, it’s actually quite a change to now watching a few with Gene Autry in them. They are both singing cowboys, but they are very different, too. This movie is called Round-Up Time in Texas from 1937.
First of …

The Incredible Hulk (2008)
This weekend I finally made it to the cinema to see The Incredible Hulk! I got to admit, I did not hear about this movie till a few months ago when I was talking about another Marvel movie with my friend. I was quite surprised that this movie did …
The Others movie
“The Others” is a dreary, yet magical horror film-that is unlike many other supernatural horror films. The director created a dreary and sleepy backdrop to tell the story of a woman and her two children who live in a huge manor after the 2nd World War. Nicole …
Walt Disney Presents: Beyond Witch Mountain movie
Beyond Witch Mountain was actually an hour long pilot movie for a potential TV series. It was made for TV in 1982 and at the time was the third Witch Mountain production. Two more followed it as time passed.
What was interesting to me about this is that …

The movie Twilight part one
The first Twilight movie sucked big time and there are so many reasons as to why this movie was just plain awful and the first reason would be the actors, because the actors who played ion Twilight really did a very bad job and didn’t bring any of the …
Movie Awake
I loved this movie, it kept me very interested throughout the whole movie. It is about a man who goes under surgery and is supposed to be asleep but he isn’t all the way asleep, he can feel what the doctors are doing and hear them talking. The movie …
“Monsters” movie
Taking up for watching “Monster” I was hoping that it will be explosive combination of “The way” and “District 9″. So I was hoping for poetic road movie, as confirmed in the post-apocalyptic mood, which would become the matrix for an ambitious aesthetic, making a problems, science fiction story. …
Blood of the Beasts movie
This documentary by frenchman Georges Franju shows an unpolished and uncensored look into a slaughterhouse in France. No dialogue, all we see is how the day goes on in a slaughterhouse. This is a most shocking film, scenes that are never shown in reality. It’s hard to understand how …
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is certainly enjoyable, and I dare to say that it is better than the first version, most definitely. I went with a bunch of friends to catch it the first day it was released in my country but my whole friends do …
Movie Tinker Bell
I’m sure we all have heard about her. She’s cute, shining, flying and has become a classic. We’ve seen her as Peter Pan’s little friend who doesn’t speak but now she has her very own movie where the spotlight is on her from start to end. It has been …
The Devil Wears Prada (PG-13, 2006) movie
It is now 2008, and I just now got around to watching “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is because I am not prone to watching films that feature implausible storylines with patchy endings, over-the-top soppy acting, and so on and so forth. But I was attracted …
Equilibrium (2002)
Feelings are outlawed as mankind’s greatest weakness in the futuristic action/adventure flick starring Christian Bale as Cleric John Preston. From the very first action scene, you could tell that this movie was going to be very exciting, and, it did not disappoint on that regard. Finding, fighting and eradicating …

Lower City (R, 2005) movie
First and foremost I must say that you should enjoy foreign films (at least to a certain extent) before viewing this movie. Secondly, I should say that if you have seen “City of God” then you will probably enjoy this movie. And third, I must say that …
He Loves Me…He Loves Me Not (movie)
One thing that I absolutely love to watch is foreign drama films, and therefore, when I saw the French movie “He Loves Me—¦He Loves Me Not” airing on a certain cable television station recently, I was eager to watch it even though it was already one or two minutes …
The Invasion Movie
I think The Invasion is one of those movies that probably could have been pretty good, but ended up getting the raw end of the stick. The movie was supposed to come out a few years ago, but kept getting pushed back and pushed back. I remember reading a …
The Lake House movie
I’m usually not a big romance movie kind of guy but I do think Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock make a good film couple so I thought I would give Lake House a try.
Overall, I have to say it was a good movie, though it did remind me a …
Shes the Man
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 …
War of the Worlds-2005

Coffee & Cigarettes movie
Jim Jarmusch is probably the most successful american independent filmmaker ever, with great films like Down by Law and Mystery Train on his record, and recently he decided to recreate his old classic short film series Coffee & Cigarettes in a full feature format, and add a number of …
American Beauty (drama movie)
I was reading a book about writing screenplays and at one point it referred to the movie “American Beauty” as an example of a good fairly modern screenplay. However when I watched it for myself, I realised that it wasn’t just the screenplay that was good, but the entire movie.
The …
Power to the Peephole
No episode better showcases the out of date parodies of Tripping the Rift than this episode: “Power to the Peephole” which bases its entire B plot (or is it the C plot) around the whole Monica Lewinsky debacle. Not just a joke or two, but it is actually …
Lipstick & Dynamite film
Women’s wrestling is once again becoming a popular form of entertainment but very few of today’s fans understand the history behind it. The documentary Lipstick & Dynamite tries to fill people in on that.
Overall, it’s a good film filled with plenty of interviews with some of the former female …
Rain in the Mountains (2007)
As movies go this is best viewed with plans of lobbing popcorn at the screen from time to time. The plot was shaky and the acting so bad it was amusing. However, it is not entirely without merit for a small subsection of the population living in the Pacific …
Super Bad Movie
Teenage Comedy. I thought I had seen every possible teenage movie scerino, that is until I watched Super Bad. From start to finish this movie had me rolling! The first funny thing I noticed was Seth’s enthuisastic nature. From the get go he spews curse word after curse word, …
The Abyss
It’s an oldie but a goodie, in my book. The Abyss, 1989, stars Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Ed Harris as part of a civilian diving team hired by the military to search for a lost submarin carrying nuclear warheads. When the team, both civilian and military, are disconnected from …
Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side
Several months ago, we watched the Family Guy movie Blue Harvest and thought it was one of the funniest Star Wars spoofs ever made. So, when we found out about the sequel, Something, Something, Something Dark Side, I couldn’t wait to watch it and moved it to the top …
