Proof
I normally like movies Anthony Hopkins has a role in. Unfortunately, the movie Proof didn’t have enough of him to make it any good.
Hopkins plays a former math genius who is battling senility but the movie centers around his daughter (Gwenneth Paltrow) who has to cope with not only …

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
I have always thought Will Ferrell was a funny talented actor. His movies are among the best out there. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, was once again a funny film. However, it definitely wasn’t his best effort.
What I believe was basically a spoof of Days of Thunder, …

Jane Eyre,1996 Movie
Franco Zeffireli’s 1996 version of Jane Eyre would have been very good had he cast a different actor for Mr. Rochester. Don’t get me wrong, William Hurt who plays Rochester in this movie is a good actor, and he did a good job - but he just doesn’t *look* …
The Punisher 1989 Version
I’m glad I saw the newer Punisher, with John Travolta as the villain, before I saw the original Punisher, starring Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle. It started out with promise, with Castle already presumed dead, and Punisher on his vigilante jaunt for five years now. Then it quickly …
Film Family Plot
Alfred Hitchcock’s final film, Family Plot is a gentle little final film for one of cinema’s greatest filmmaker’s ever. It is thrilling but it is not one of his trips into the world of stark horror that he delved into with Psycho or the Birds.
And this suits him just …

Gone Girl certainly was not at the top of my list of movies to watch since I heard that the actors Tyler Perry and Ben Affleck would be playing a major role in it. For one it sounded like a terrible combination because I’ve always thought that Ben Affleck came …
Saw V
Look, I’ll be willing to admit the movie Saw and it’s sequel, Saw II were much better than I expected them to be and would recommend them to anyone. But, after a while, you can have only so many sequels before a franchise gets beaten to death. Unfortunately for …

Master of Disguise movie

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I’m not usually a huge fan of romantic comedies. They’re OK but I get bored with them quickly because they usually have the same basic plot.

Avengers: Age of Ultron (Superhero Film)
Marvel, Marvel, Marvel. The only time a Marvel movie turned out right was when the first Avengers movie came out and even then- way too much action. Avengers: Age of Ultron is one of those movies where the visuals draw you in but the story spits you out. If you …

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li
I knew going in that this movie was going to be bad, but really, this movie is terrible.
