Teeth (UR, 2007) movie
I was a little taken aback by this subject matter, and perhaps you might be too, if you venture to watch this obscure horror film. Vagina Dentata is the latin term for a dreadful condition in which a woman’s vagina is lined with teeth - yes, real …
The Fighting Sullivans
A couple days ago I first saw the film ‘The Fighting Sullivans’, and I have to say that I REALLY enjoyed it. It was released in 1944, and was based on the true story of the Sullivan brothers, all of whom fought in World War II (don’t want to …
Omar (drama movie)
I had my doubts about watching the movie Omar even though it was recommended to me. I didn’t know much about it except that it was set somewhere in the Middle East, and I was truly tired of watching depressing films and news of people struggling to be themselves and …
November Man (thriller movie)
The trailer for November Man didn’t make it come off as something that I would want to see in the theatres. For some reason, it just felt as if the movie wouldn’t be very good. However, when I watched it, even though I didn’t think it was great, it was …

Middlemarch (1994), a movie

Persona movie
Regarded by many as Ingmar Bergman’s best film and also one of the best “art” films ever made. It is a complex film about dimensions, simply put, where two women is the center of Bergman’s focus. Liv Ullman and Bibi Andersson portrait two very different women, one of them …

Saddened by the premature death of actress Brittany Murphy, I put a few of her better known films on my Netflix list. The best of these was one I had not seen before, and was surprised by the quality of it. The dead girl starts with a woman finding …

Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy is a great movie that you must see! Ron Jeremy has starred in nearly 2,000 adult films. He is nicknamed the Hedgehog because he is so short with a big hairy belly. This movie …
You Only Live Twice, movie
Sean Connery’s James Bond takes a vacation from his usual European hot stops and turns native in this movie set in Japan. It doesn’t have the elements that made movies like “Goldfinger” and “Thunderball” great, but it isn’t a bad entry into the film series.
I’m a fan of James …
Columbia House DVD
I had a very bad experience with Columbia House’s DVD club. Through this club, you are offred a certain number of DVDs at a discount as long as you buy a set amount of DVDs at regular price within a set amount of time. I signed up through a …
We Own the Night movie
This movie, We Own the Night, is not one I would normally watch under any circumstances were it not for the fact that someone sent it to me. Never turn down a trusted freebie, as I always say. However, it’s crude from the get go, and that’s …

The Rundown (starring Dwayne Johnson)

The Day The Earth Stood Still film
As far as wasted opportunities go, this film takes the cake. It isn’t so much a remake of the original film as it is homage to it as only the very basic plot elements from the original were retained and woven into an unnecessarily reworked plot that falls flat …
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
Ok, I’ve heard the song enough this holiday season to make my head explode. But, I have to admit the animated movie based on Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer was actually pretty good.
The movie, which I didn’t time but believe is about an hour long, basically gives …

Movie: “Stardust” (2007)
“Stardust” is a sweeping family fantasy based on a book by Neil Gaiman and narrated by Sir Ian McKellen. Although the plot was a bit confusing in places, I love this beautiful film; it’s one of those movies you can watch over and over and still enjoy.

A League Of Their Own Movie (1992)
I’m not the biggest fan of sports movies, generally speaking. However, the movie “A League of Their Own” stands alone as just a wonderful movie, regardless of the sports theme. I just recently viewed the film for the second time on one of my satellite movie networks, …
Madea goes to Jail Movie
Madea goes to jail, directed and written by Tyler Perry is a very inspirational story. The movie balances out its sorrows with gut wrenching humor. This movie does have Madea going to jail, after, as always some testy behavior, that will most definitely make you laugh. However, this is also …

“Thor: The Dark World” movie
Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
This movie is simply hilarious. Steve Martin and Michael Caine shine as two con artists who at first team up and then start competing with each other. Each time I watch it, I laugh all anew, even though I know what’s coming, and I can tell that both actors …

Contraband Movie (2012)
Last night I went with my friends to see the Contraband movie. The preview and the reviews were promising, plus the stellar cast was a reassuring factor. Though, on the other hand, despite being a great actor, Mark Whalberg’s recent choices in projects is a bit of a …
Throw Mama from the Train (1987)
One of my favorite VHS tapes (yes, I am over 50 and therefore behind the times) is “Throw Mama from the Train”. Despite the horrid title, this really is a good adult movie. In fact, I might even go out and buy it on DVD, since tapes …
