Wild Wild West
This is a most confusing film with Will Smith that combines old western style with a modern kind of tecnique and scenery. The contrast between these to is barely watchable, and regarding Smith’s performance, I don’t think he really fits in this kind of film.
It’s shocking that this was …

Apollo 13
Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Apollo 13 and I have to say, it is still as good as the first time I saw it.
There are a lot of movies about historical disasters. But, Apollo 13 is one of those few films that gives …

After the original came yet another spectacular movie. It’s actioned packed that kept me on the edge of my seat right through. Did I mention the action? There is alot of action in this one…alot of action. Blade got the stuffing beat out of him and I enjoyed it, …

Chocolate (movie)
Chocolate is a beautiful movie about a mother and daughter who move to a small town and turn the town upside down! They come in red hoods, much like Red Riding Hood. Evidently the wind started blowing and the preacher and town elders knew something important was about to …
Around the World in Eighty Days movie
The classic story by Jules Verne about a an english adventurer who takes a bet of him travelling around all the world in as little as 80 days (which was very, very little once). This version of the story has been hailed as the best one, but I can’t …
Charlie’s Angels
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Charlie’s Angels. The last version I watched was the sequel, which I hated, so it was refreshing to see the original again.
While some parts of the movie are a bit dumb, this film, overall, isn’t too bad.
You have an all …
Victoria and Albert,2001 movie
This beautiful movie tells the story of Queen Victoria’s marriage to Albert, her German cousin. Victoria (Victoria Hamilton) is only 18 when she inherits the British throne. The first thing she does is breaks free from her controlling mother; then she starts learning how to be the queen. When …
Airplane! film
In terms of Parodies, Airplane! is my absolute favorite. You will be rolling on the floor with laughter the entire film. Starring funny actors Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, Robert Hays, and Leslie Nielsen, this movie is not just a classic one, but an entertaining one.
An airplane crew suddenly becomes …
Ready to Rumble (2000)
If you like pro wrestling in any way, shape or form, and this movie is just for you, yup, it is right up your alley and it will or will not prove to be a good thing. As this movie would have it, two sewage workers are extremely upset …
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People movie
I did not pay the movie “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People” any attention when it was advertising because I thought that it was going to be yet another one of those celebrity packed “comedies” that was not very funny. However, when I was forced to watch it …
Date with an Angel
I can remember watching this movie a couple years ago one Saturday when there was absolutely nothing interesting going on on television. I had seen it on the television guide and there was no summary so I didn’t know what it would be about, but nevertheless, decided to try …
Paranormal Activity movie
Last night I watched the movie Paranormal Activity. From the moment the movie began I thought, “Oh no this movie is so cheaply made.” However I decided I’d give it a chance since I’d heard so many great things about it.
From the beginning when they set the camera …
Somewhere in Time
I’m usually a big Christopher Reeve fan but seeing his 1980 film “Somewhere in Time” yesterday was a serious disappointment for me.
He did a decent job in the movie, don’t get me wrong. So did Jane Seymour and a cast that included Christopher Plummer and a very young William …
Eagle Eye
I just finished watching the movie Eagle Eye few days ago. I got the DVD from a friend of mine who told me it’s quite a good movie. After watching the movie, I must say I am not very impressed with it.
The story started in the Middle East region …
Movie: Saw VI
Well, I didn’t really want to, but I gave in and finally sat down to watch the film Saw VI.
I have seen the previous five movies in this series and, while the first couple were somewhat unique and entertaining, I got a bit bored with it by the fourth …
Album : Metallica - Master of Puppets (1986)
What better time for me to re-visit one of my favorite albums of all time now that it has been recently remastered again and re-released. I remember when i first heard this album years and years ago it blew me away. Up until then i was just listening …
Monsters vs. Aliens (2009)
I really enjoyed this movie. It’s advertised as kind of a “team” film, but it truly is Susan’s (Reece Witherspoon) movie.
The movie begins on Susan’s wedding day. As she’s heading into the church, she gets hit by a meteor which she actually absorbs into her body. …
The magic flute movie
This film was intended for television purpose mainly, but was so popular the director Ingmar Bergman decided to give it a full release. It’s an opera play, telling the old myth about the magic flute in a very unusual way to be a film. Clearly this wasn’t Bergman’s ordinary …
“Alice Adams” (1935) starring Katharine Hepburn
The 1935 “Alice Adams” was produced in black and white by RKO. The movie is based on the novel by Booth Tarkington. “Alice Adams” runs 99 minutes which is a little too long as parts are slow. The beginning twenty minutes and the ending twenty minutes make the movie …
The Secret - The Movie
I stumbled upon this website “by chance” and found a wonderful, life-changing (yes, at least for me) movie available either as a download ($4.95) or as a DVD ($29.95) that can be ordered. After viewing the impressive trailer, I ordered the DVD and anxiously waited for “the secret” to …
The Bank Job, British crime film
Certain genres of movies never seem to advance too much. Crime is that one genre that tends to follow the same path, get a bunch of people and rob a bank. The Bank Job follows this tiresome formula but for some reason it is more entertaining than half the …
Patton (1970)
Long winded speeches hold no candle to this 1970 film about a General who knows how to win and to also motivate all in his command to have the same mentality. Taking charge is a talent that so many have but very rarely make good use of it, unlike …
Relative Evil
Starring: Jonathan Tucker (JJ), Jennifer Tilly (Dot), Dan Moran (Bull), David Strathairn (Dr Charlie), Deirdre O’Connell (Phyllis)
How horrifying it is for a seventeen-year old to discover that there are people preying on his life. After coming out from rehab, JJ had hoped to pick up the pieces of …

UHF
I was flipping through channels last night and came across the Weird Al Yankovic movie UHF. Since there wasn’t anything better on TV, I figured I would take the time to watch it for the first time in years.
The movie was OK but not as funny as I remembered …
With Six You Get Eggroll
Doris Day’s final theatrical film was one her late husband had obligated her to do, entitled With Six You Get Eggroll. It’s a movie that is reminiscent of Yours, Mine, and Ours that starred Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. To me, this was a smaller scale version …
Public Enemies
Public Enemies is one of the best made movies I’ve seen in a long time. It tells the parallel stories of John Dillinger on his rise to bank-robbing fame, and the G-Men whose job it was to take him down. Christian Bale and Johnny Depp deliver …
Little Women: The Movie with Winona Ryder
Little Women, the Columbia picture with Winona Ryder, is a touching story women of all ages will treasure. Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott, the movie tells the story of four daughters, named Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, during the 1800s. The moral reflections Alcott included in …
Pretty Woman
I am reviewing the movie, Pretty Woman, starring Richard Geere and Julia Roberts. This is a love story. It is a chick flick. Men beware. Women rejoice. Rich Richard Geere’s character is in the need of company one evening, so he decides to go along and pick …

Erin Brockovich is based on a true story. Erin, played by Julia Roberts, is a single mother of three who goes from living in poverty and being unemployed to a millionairess working as a legal consultant. You know, from the beginning of the movie, that Erin is determined because …
Killa Season: The Movie
Killa Season is an amature movie which had a very low budget and very few cameras and when you watch the movie you will see why nobody should ever make a movie this way. Appearing in this “gangster” movie are rap stars Juelz Santana, Hell Rell and Cam’ron and …
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 …
The Saw movies
Oh how I loathe these movies. My fiance takes me to them every time they come out on the big screen and I just HATE them. I don’t think there’s really any acting in it. Anyone can ‘act’ in a horror movie. I mean anyone. I just don’t get …
Drag me to Hell horror movie
I find horror movies interesting to watch. I cannot watch it when I am alone. Last week me and my friend went to the mall and saw this movie Drag me to Hell was being showed in the movie theaters. The movie is very horrifying and we screamed at …
Death Note, Netflix movie
This movie, created by Netflix, is a live action take on the anime Death Note. I will say right now that the anime version is easily one of my favorite shows, and when I heard that Netflix was creating this I was excited but didn’t really expect much from it. …

Movie: The Shakiest Gun in the West

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
Ah, yes…those lovable little Ewoks. Those, cute, cuddly little bear-like bundles of joy helped bring a happy ending to this final installment of not only the original trilogy, but chronologically the entire saga of the life and death of Annakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader.
The overall theme of this movie …
“Up in the Air” Film
I just finished watching this film. I had heard it was a good film and since it was nominated for a lot of awards in the award season, I figured it would be good. Well, I was wrong, this movie was slow, boring and depressing.
…
Night At the Museum
I don’t watch many movies; usually when I watch a movie more than once it ends up being a favorite that I want to own. Night At the Museum is a perfect example. This is by far one of the funniest, cutest movies I’ve seen; there’s nothing questionable, it’s …
Robin Hood Movie (2010)
I rarely go to the movie theater here in town. But, my wife and I wanted to spend some time away from the kids and ended up going to see the new Robin Hood movie.
I don’t know if it was worth the $30 we spent on tickets and popcorn. …
