Toni Erdmann (2016 film)
2 hours and 42 minutes is a lot of time, and if I am a productive person I would be able to do so much other than just sitting in my comfortable chair watching a german-language movie called “Toni Erdmann”.
Truth be told, the first 10 minutes is a real struggle …
Our Mutual Friend
This 1998 mini-series is based on a novel by Charles Dickens. Despite many subplots, Dickens usually focused on one large theme in each of his books and explored it in great detail. In this particular work, he looks into the subject of Money. Or, to define it better, Money …
Untraceable Movie
I thoroughly enjoyed Untraceable even though the reviews I read were poor at best. There were a few major problems I had with the movie, but given the cast and the overall plot line, it was something that I could actually get interested in. I usually let a movie …

Movie Music and Lyrics
“Music and Lyrics” is not the best movie for Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore; however it is not a movie that you must ignore. The best aspect of this movie is the music. I keep remembering and singing the songs for hours after watching.

Bratz Babyz movie
I’ve always said, if it keeps my daughter occupied, it’s a great movie. And, Bratz Babyz is one of those movies.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb plot. A bunch of toddler girls are able to wander a mall unsupervised without anyone noticing while trying to rescue their kidnapped dog. …
Luther,2003 movie
“Luther,” 2003, starring Joseph Fiennes, is a well-done, compelling movie about the beginning of the Reformation.

License To Drive (1988)
When I was a teenager back in the eighties, I thought the “Two Coreys” (Corey Feldman and Corey Haim) were the funniest guys around. I have seen every one of their movies, and still watch them to this day. One of the funniest movies of the ’80s, and just …

Ice Age -Movie One in the Trilogy

The Wicker Man (Original)

District 9 movie
District 9 is a movie I bought after seeing it in theaters. I love science fiction-type films, and since this one contains aliens, it was right up my alley.

Rosewater (drama movie)
When I heard that John Stewart was writing and directing a movie, I was eager to see it. I assumed that since he’s a comedian and media critic the movie would be a comedy of sorts. I guess I should have probably read up on the movie first or at …
