I infer the story behind the man in the iron mask is so interesting that it made it to the big screen multiple times. This one version I watched at least made me think so. I had a good time watching this version directed by Randall Wallace; …

What could have been a major masterpiece by Orson Welles was severely cut down by the production company as they thought it was “too boring” and to mr Welles’ devastation he found yet another of his works butchered and lost forever. It was the exactly same thing with The …

Early film by Kenji Mizoguchi, even if it isn’t silent. Tells the story of geisha women in 17th century Japan. The whole narrative and style of the film is founded in realism and I believe it has been somewhat influential on later filmmakers. However, the film is no more …

I recently purchased one of the newer Dora the Explorer DVD’s “We’re a Team” for my daughter. Overall, I think it was a great purchase.

Another movie my wife and I ended up watching last night was the film “Heartbreakers”. I liked this movie when it first came out but have to admit it loses some of its charm the second time you see it.

M. Night Shyamalan has another best selling thriller and decides to make it into a movie…bad idea, very bad idea as you do a very good job taking the life from the book. maybe he should stick to writing the books and leave to directing to those who seem …

Despite some of the earlier episodes that had a lot of flashbacks, this episode managed to be quite interesting. The main character is back in the action, none too soon in my personal opinion, but of course this does not amount to any interesting action. In fact, Naruto’s entrance …

One of the movies I always enjoy watching is Cary Grant’s last film, Walk Don’t Run, from 1966. Grant was such a wonderful talent. I really regret that he felt like his fans wouldn’t want to see him as a non-romantic lead in a movie. I …

Blue Valentine has a few good moments that I took with me, and the message is powerful. Yet, watching it was not an easy thing to do. It was beyond boring, it was dreadful, slow paced, and at times unbearable. The only reason why I and my friends kept …

I saw the movie Maid in Manhattan again last night and, even though Jennifer Lopez does a somewhat decent job in it, I’m still not overly impressed with it.

For some weird reason (maybe it’s Sean Connery) I actually prefer the last of the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Last Crusade, over the other two. I�m not sure why though because, when you think about it, it brings more of the bad stuff from the other two than the …

The Time Traveler’s Wife stars Rachel McAdams as Clare Abshire, an artist, and Eric Bana as Henry DeTamble, a man with an unusual genetic defect that causes him to travel through time unexpectedly.
The movie centers around the relationship between the two main characters. Although they are in love, they …

I recently borrowed the DVD of the movie “Meet the Spartans” from a friend and watched it with my family. I must say this has to be the second movie after “You Don’t Mess with Zohan” which I would consider as a crappy movie.
The movie was first released …

Anyone who wants to sit back and forget their problems for a couple of hours should rent “Blame It On Rio.” It is one of those romantic comedies that is so much fun, I want to see it practically every time it airs on TV. It centers around Matthew …

Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Apollo 13 and I have to say, it is still as good as the first time I saw it.

This movie, a sequel in premise only to the earlier Bruce Almighty, is a fun PG rated film to enjoy with the whole family. Morgan Freeman once again plays God, with of course the ability to appear and reappear at will to whomever he desires. Steve Carell reprises his …

Back in the 1980s, you could make a movie about Pro Wrestling and people might buy into the storylines. But, with most people today realizing that the matches they see on television and pay-per-view are pre-determined, trying to make a modern movie about the “sport” just doesn’t work.
That’s why …

Pretty good movie based on a decent book.
I enjoyed this movie more than I expected to. Julia Roberts isn’t my favorite actor, although I think in the case of Liz Gilbert, she was probably the best choice. I also enjoyed the movie more than I did the …

Sherlock Holmes is another great performance by Robert Downy Jr. who keeps the story extremely entertaining and exciting. Although at times the plot can be expected, it continues to keep mostly everyone interested in the movie. The plot is fun and exciting to watch as Sherlock Holmes puts together …

Before last year I had ever heard of this film. In fact, when I first saw the title of it on the televsion guide I had mistaken it for a romance movie which I think might have been set in the mid nineteenth century. However, when I watched the …

The Thirst is one of the worst vampire movies I’ve ever seen and that’s saying a lot. I actually watch and review horror movies for payment and that means watching a lot of movies that I have no interest in watching usually. The movie follows a young girl who …

After the …
