In Her Shoes (2005 movie)
This is yet another movie where you must ask the question of “What were they thinking?”. This movie is sleep, snore, drool…boring. It is supposed to be a Comedy/Drama, but I am yet to see where the comedy is or has gone. I’ve come to expect so much better …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Rob Marshall turned a New York Times’ Bestseller into a Hollywood box office hit. I have to admit though, it’s not a film I would want to watch over and over again. It’s brilliant. Emotional. Deep. That said, it’s kind of depressing despite the ending. The entire film has …

Meet the Parents, movie

Lion (2016 Drama Film)
Some movies are really made to catch awards attention. They often fail because the process becomes terribly inorganic, instead of telling a good story, they somehow focus in smaller details in the film - and while on paper it sounds good, the end material is always somewhat disappointing. Take for …
300 -The movie

Stephen King’s The Mist (Movie)

Feature film “The Switch”
I am only sort of a romantic comedy fan. You can usually predict what will happen in the end and that bores the heck out of me. I did see the ending coming, it was predictable and trite, but the movie was still ok. Jennifer …
The Spy Who Loved Me movie
The third 007 film starring Roger Moore is one of my favorites. The background story is the usual: someone is threatening to take over the world and Bond has to stop him. What really is unusual about this film, and this amazed me more than anything when I first …

Prancer is an OK film. …
This Christmas movie
I really wish African American films would get better than this. This film was such a rip-off of “Soul Food” that it is not even funny. The sisters fighting the youngest one dating an “intelligent thug”, legal troubles, selling Big Mama/Ma’Dere’s property the list just …
The Wedding Date movie
When I rented the Wedding Date with my wife, I thought it was going to be just another chick flick with a sappy plot. However, I found it was actually a very funny and entertaining movie.
Debra Messing is absolutely stunning in this film as she plays a single woman …
The Dark Knight
Last evening I watched “The Dark Knight”. I had of course heard all of the hype regarding the movie.
