A Scanner Darkly [movie]
I just went to see the film “A Scanner Darkly” and I thought it was brilliant. The story is a cautionary tale about drug addiction. As such, it deals with a lot of material not appropriate for children, but could also be considered an important film for youth and …
The Helen Morgan Story movie
I absolutely adore The Helen Morgan Story. It’s an oldie, from 1957, but it is so tragically romantic that I was drawn to it from the first time I saw it. Helen Morgan was a singer and actress who made a name for herself on Broadway. …
The Garden (NR, 2006) movie
I was a little apprehensive about this film. It looks low-budget from the Netflix description. And none of the other reviews gave it a riveting description. But I must admit that I liked the premise. And as the story went along, I was …
Fast & Furious (4)
Since I’ve watched all the previous installments of Fast And Furious, I knew what to expect from the fourth part. And I was not disappointed. The best thing about this part is Vin Diesel and Paul Walker back together. This could easily be the follow up for the …
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
The movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a complicated film. The setting is the first feature I noticed and loved-Spain is a gorgeous back drop for this romantic comedy. I hesitate to call it ‘romantic comedy’ because it certainly isn’t the set pattern of today’s romantic comedy, which gets predictable …
Movie The Wrestler
I didn’t actually want to see the movie “The Wrestler” with my friends since I had seen it advertise about once or twice and I thought that the storyline looked like something I would not be very interested in. Also, unlike previous times, I am not interested in the …
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999)
Deuce was a simple guy with a simple job; he went to work to clean the pool and the fish tanks and was very good at what he does. But all that changed the day he went to the home of a gigolo to clean his fish tank, which …
Two Mules For Sister Sara movie

“Despicable Me” the Movie
When I arrived to the theaters and sat down, I was half expecting a really corny kid movie with “Despicable Me”. The trailers really did not interest me in any way, but since I was obligated to watch this movie for a personal project of mine, I decided to …
After Dark Thrillers dvd
Here is another dvd from my friend’s horror movie dvd collection. He likes old movies from the seventies mostly, and lent me this dvd which he said he was told had some good horror films on it. However, when I watched it I didn’t like the movies at all. …

Nothing movie
From 2004, Nothing is about two guys who think the world away to near nothingness. I will say off the top that the opening writing material that is on the screen brings on early chuckles. The writing proclaims that the movie is absolutely true. It’s an …
Cut Off movie
My wife and I picked up the movie Cut Off this past weekend and didn’t really know what to expect from it. It looked somewhat decent from the description on the back. But, as I told my wife, it also looked as though it could end up being some …
American Dreamz
I believe that the movie “American Dreamz” represent the most bizarre role for both actors, Hugh Grant and Mandy Moore. We see both there two actors in an unlovable role which is definitely something new because we are so used in seeing them in romantic movies. It is also …
You Don’t Mess with the Zohan
I always get overly entertained and would laugh like mad whenever I see performances by Adam Sandler. He has done it again this time and made me laugh like a crazy hyena in the newly title and newly released, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.
Zohan is …
The Secret DVD
I’ve studied manifestation for about 15 years and understand basic principles, but The Secret really summed manifestation up. This movie was emotional, funny and introspective. Australian Rhonda Byrne put the movie together after her father died. She read The Science of Getting Rich, which her father left to her. …
Blazing Saddles movie (1974)
Is anyone else a Mel Brooks film lover? I know I am. The first time I saw one of his films, I was a kid and asked my mother about any other films he might have made. My first one was …
Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen
When we first saw previews for the movie Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen, we thought it would be a somewhat funny movie. Turns out it was actually quite dull.
Unless you like seeing a teenaged Lindsay Lohan in a tight red dress, there really isn’t much value to this …

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015 Comedy Drama Movie)
Despite a few bad reviews, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” is one of the best coming of age films I’ve watched in a very long time. I had an inkling that it would end up being a tearjerker from the title, but to my surprise it was in …
A Tattered Web movie
From 1971, A Tattered Web is a film about accidental murder and a cover up. I think I may have watched this back when it first aired, but I’m not certain. The movie starred Lloyd Bridges as Sgt. Ed Stagg. I’ve never really been a fan …
Movie: “The Toy”
This Richard Pryor classic is as hysterical today as it was at its 1982 release. The laughs never stop; even the slapstick comedy is so well-done that it had me laughing out loud.
Master comedian Jackie Gleason plays a wealthy businessman who promises his spoiled son any toy he wants. …
Magician movie
One of Ingmar Bergman’s less known films from the late 50s includes most of his regular acting squad with Max von Sydow, Bibi Andersson and Erland Josephsson in the frontline in a story about a magician and his helpers travelling around the country to entertain rich people. When he …
2001 Space Idiocies
2001 Space Idiocies is the 4th episode of the 1st season of Tripping the Rift and is to me the highlight of the show’s first season. As the title gives away there is a lot of riffing off of the movie 2001: A Space Oddyssey.
This episode succeeds in …
Movie A walk to remember
I must admit that I truly enjoy watching great romance movies. The once I truly like I watch them endless times. “A walk to remember” is a great movie based on a true story.
The film is based in 1958 about the daughter of a minister, a part interpreted by Mandy …

Bicentennial Man movie
This Robin Williams movie was a delightful surprise. I wasn’t expecting to like Bicentennial Man at all. Williams may be a terrific comic, but his films don’t usually thrill me personally. There are exceptions, of course, like Awakenings, which is why I decided to give this flick …
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (1999)
As usual this movie starts off with Harry back at the home of his foster parents and they are still doing their best to make his life as impossible and unhappy as they possibly can. But for every time that they try to do him ill, it always backfired …
The Aviator Movie
A movie based on the life of Howard Hughes and all the trials he beared in his lifetime. From the Actresses to the Hearings of his mis-use of government funds and his compulsive tendencies. Leonardo DiCarprio portrays a great Howard Hughes…a well done performance. This movie is not a …

Johnny English
This movie, like anything with Rowan Atkinson in it, is very funny. It doesn’t quite have the flow to it that many of the Mr. Bean sketches have, but it’s still very fun to watch.
It seems similar to the Pink Panther, yet of course different. In this movie, Johnny …
Dragonball Evolution cartoon movie
What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …

P.S. I love you movie
This was a really good movie. Although it made me cry a lot during the movie. Some of the previews made it look like a funny movie and although it had a couple funny parts in it, it was more sad than anything. I cried almost throughout the whole …

Another excellent Bill Murray role. Bob has a great deal of neurotic emotions. He comes to Dr. Leo Marvin, played by Richard Dreyfuss, for help.

Fracture
The other night I went to see Fracture. After seeing the trailer at a showing of another film, I figured this would be an interesting film. The film had not let me down. Anthony Hopkins, of course, gave a very compelling performance and really let you get a feel …
