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 …

Being a dog lover, my brother bought and gave me this dvd as a present and while I am already in my mid-twenties, I still do enjoy watching movies that are sometimes suitable just for kids, like this movie, and Hotel for Dogs is actually for kids and not …

Under the Skin (2013 movie)
I find that with mainstream movies there’s very little to talk about. I usually get information from the culture and arts section of many a magazine or newspaper and shy away from the hype. People continue to brood over the movie Under the Skin, despite that it …

The movie “National Treasure: Book of Secrets” is a sequel to the previous movie starring actor Nicholas Cage “National Treasure”. Like the first one, it was also released by Walt Disney Pictures, and what impressed me the most about it was that I thought that it was just as …
Pandora’s Clock
The reason I tuned into Pandora’s Clock, a 1996 TV movie, was because it starred Richard Dean Anderson, who is one of my favorite performers. I’ll start with the girlish stuff and get that out of the way. In a uniform, Anderson is yummy. He just …

I am Legend
Ok, considering I waited several weeks before I was able to find a copy of I am Legend at my local video store, I have to say I’m extremely disappointed in this movie. In fact, I’m absolutely glad I rented it rather than buy it.
When I see a movie …

Notting Hill,1999 movie

True Story - Mystery Thriller Film (2015)

Season of the Witch (movie)
When I saw the movie “Season of the Witch” advertising early this year on cable, I definitely wanted to watch it, and I became even more interested in seeing it after I saw that the actor Robert Sheenan from “Misfits” had a major role in it.
The movie, which was …
The Dungeonmaster (VHS), science fiction film
What better way to start a movie than with a guy on a bed, looking to be pleasuring himself by movement? How about adding in that guy chasing a woman wearing a red dress through an abandon jail? Better yet take those and add the woman undressing herself, then …

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Overview - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is one brilliant film yet also a bit difficult to follow at times. I will say that the concept of this film is just great - although it basically is a romance when it comes down to it, it’s unlike any …
Murder on the Orient Express movie
In my opinion the by far best adaptation of a detective story by Agatha Christie, in which Albert Finney appears as the genius detective Hercule Poirot. The cast of the film is simply amazing and include legends like Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael York, Lauren Bacall, Martin …
Boogeyman 2 Movie
Boogeyman 2 isn’t the kind of movie that you absolutely love or absolutely hate; it’s more the kind of movie that leaves everyone feeling like it was only okay or so-so. That was how I felt after watching it anyway. I originally saw the preview for the movie while …

THE ISLAND MOVIE DVD
I hope I am not the only person who was totally NOT impressed with this movie. I found THE ISLAND to be entirely predictable after about 30 minutes. I try so hard not to figure out the endings of movies, or what is REALLY going on, because, when they …
‘Star Trek Beyond’ 2016 movie
In 2009, Paramount decided to reboot the long running “Star Trek” franchise with a new series of movies that scrapped the previous continuity and showed us a younger, less experienced Enterprise crew.
The results were largely positive, though it had its detractors (especially those who had been life long “Trek” fans.) …
Lt. Robin Crusoe USN
This is not one of Disney’s most well acclaimed live action films to emerge from the 1960’s. Most critics pretty well abhor it, though, suprisingly, it was one of the most popular films from the year it was released.
Disney favorite Dick Van Dyke stars as Robin Crusoe a navy …
“I Love You Man” (2009 Film)

Peter, (Paul Rudd), is about to get married …
Ted ( 2012 Movie )
