Movies Reviews
Airplane movie
As far as movie spoofs go, Airplane has to be one of the most politically incorrect films I’ve ever seen considering it doesn’t hesitate to insult any race or religion. I think that’s what makes the film so funny.
Actor Robert Hays is great in his role as a former …

Haunted Mansion (2003)
Honestly, I just find Nathaniel Parker cute that’s why I finished this movie and wishing I had been Marsha Thomason just to snatch that role. Yes, this is a funny movie but I was wondering why Walt Disney Pictures, or anyone else who has been part of making …

Swordfish with Hugh Jackman, John Travolta, Halle Berry, and Don Cheadle.
Why are computer hackers so powerful and feared? Well this movie answers this question in an action packed and well written story. The all star cast does an excellent job at turning a …
John Tucker Must Die
Before renting this movie, i had heard TONS of negative reviews. So who cares? The people who review movies in newspapers are CRAZY! Some of the best movies receive 2 or 3 stars, while absolutely atrocious movies receive 5! However, the fact that many of …
Faeries movie
I watched the movie “Faeries” a very long time ago in about the year 2001 when I had just gotten cable television. I think the first time I saw the movie too was one Saturday on the cable television channel SciFi. I thought it was different from many …
George Lucas in Love Movie
A mixture of romance, documentary and comedy about a young George Lucas finding his inspiration to the Star Wars films. As the Star Wars fan I am, it was very interesting to see how George might have been inspired by different characters in his own life and putting them …
Know Your History: Jesus Is Black; So Was Cleopatra
Before Paul Mooney decided to strike the “N” word from his personal (and professional) vocabulary in 2006, he released a DVD called “Know Your History.” Mooney is known for being extremely controversial, as much of his routines revolve around race relations. In “Know Your History”, he addresses …
Sweeney Todd
Just so we’re all clear, this review is about the 2007 movie with Johnny Depp - not the show, or the DVD of the show.
I thought this movie was a pretty good adaptation of the show. The acting is great, the songs are for the most part as good …

The Ring (2002) movie
People used to tell me all about this movie, so I knew what to expect but my girlfriend still said I had to watch it cause the creepiness gets to everyone. I can’t lie this movie is very creepy and the ending is just great.
The story is all …
Now You See Me (movie)
One of the movies that I was lucky enough to watch on DVD recently was the movie “Now You See Me”. The first time that I had actually heard about this movie was when someone encouraged me to watch its trailer around three or so weeks before the movie …
The Penguins’ Whacked-Out Holiday DVD
This movie came as part of a set which included the movie Madagascar. The Penguins’ Whacked-Out Holiday DVD features the penguins from the Madagascar movie. I especially liked the penguins, so it was nice that they got their own little movie, which is basically a short cartoon.
The penguins are …

Movie: “Brokeback Mountain”
Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain is a masterpiece that lingers with you long after the movie is over. I had read Annie Proulx’ short story of the same name four times before the movie reached my area. I’d been reading reviews since it was first released December 9, …
What happens in Vegas
I received this from blockbuster yesterday, I wanted to hurry up and watch it so that I could send it back today. I thought it was a pretty good movie overall. It definitely made me laugh a couple of times. Although it wasn’t hilarious it still made me laugh …
The Rookie movie
If you enjoy watching classic action movies, with tough and uncompromising characters, this one is for you. Despite the fact that it was created 18 years ago, this film is still fun to watch. It tells the story of a young inexperienced cop David Ackerman (Charlie Sheen)and his stern …
The Price of Milk movie
I am reviewing the New Zealond film, The Price of Milk, starring Danielle Cormack and Karl Urban as Lucinda and Rob. This film was made in 2000, and was written and produced by Harry Sinclair.
This movie is a romance/fantasy flick about a farmer, his girlfriend, and the magic …
Birth (2004)

House on Haunted Hill Movie
The original House on Haunted Hill was a movie that I’ve wanted to see for a long time. I’m actually a big fan of the remake and I think Vincent Price was a phenomenal actor, but I just never got around to seeing the original movie. The original has …
The X-Files: I Want to Believe
The movie is set six years after the X-Files are closed. Dana Scully is now a doctor at a Catholic hospital, Our Lady of Sorrows while Fox Mulder is some sort of bum after being hunted down by the FBI. They both do not want anything to do with …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …
Movie The Illusionist
I must admit I am a huge fan of Edward Norton’s films. Every time there is a new movie of his; I simply jump at the opportunity to watch it. His films are simply extraordinary. In “The Illusionist” one can see Norton at his very best. This is definitely …
Meet John Doe movie
Meet John Doe is one of the classics from the golden age of movie making. It has an impressive cast headlined by Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. It is the superb acting that truly contributes to making this a standard in the sense of being one of …
Hostel, Eli Roth Movie
What happens if the two thoughts that together ‘fond of’ sadism meets? So a new Horror film that truly interfaces blood. Who is not familiar with Quentin Tarantino? Specialist’s films pleased with the alternative of blood and violence as the menu in the films. How do with Eli Roth? …
Triloquist (Movie)
Triloquist is one of the strangest and worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. The movie was released by Dimension Extreme and that combined with the fact that it was made by the makers of Leprechaun was enough to make me plop down the $4 for the rental …
Gladiator Movie (2000)

Pirates of the Carribean- Dead Man’s Chest
It’s very rare when I spend the money to go see a movie at the movie theater. After seeing Pirates of the Carribean-Dead Man’s Chest, I was glad I did.
Set shortly after the original Pirates, the movie covered continuing adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann …
“Elf” (2003 Film)
Will Ferrell is a very funny actor who I have seen in many movies and really enjoyed watching. One movie he stars in in-particular is the holiday movie “Elf” which came out in 2003. In this film, he plays a human named Buddy who was raised by elves and …
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.
The story is wafer thin, it follows Chun-Li (who’s played by Kristin Kreuk even though the younger version of her is played by an Asian girl) as she tries to find her …
Movie: Nightmare on Elm Street
When it comes to classic horror movies, I can’t imagine making a list of the best without including A Nightmare On Elm Street. Wes Craven gave audiences a whole new kind of killer when he unleashed the charred murderer into the dreams of teens in the mid eighties. …
The Trip to Bountiful (1985)
This movie is so unusual, so unlike your typical Hollywood. Despite that, it has won an Oscar. A well-deserved Oscar, I must say.
Hollywood worships youth, beauty, riches. “The Trip to Bountiful” has a poor old lady for the main character, and the story focuses on her, from the beginning …
One Hour Photo movie
“One Hour Photo” is the movie that caused people to view Robin Williams from an entirely different perspective. I (like dozens of others) am used to seeing Robin in his typical comedic roles. I have seen him perform in touching dramas, and love stories. So to …
Armageddon Sci Fi Action Disaster Movie
Armageddon is a very chaotic film. Certainly the subject-matter warrants it. Suffice it to say: your brain and all of your visual senses will have a workout. In order that you have no preconceived notions about the movie: just know the best advice is: …
Alien 1979 Movie
I’m not a fan of horror films. I get scared far too easily. So, when I was a child, I liked scary movies even less. Movies likes Jaws, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elms Street were at the top of my list of movies that flipped me out. …
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
I finally got a chance to watch the final Star Wars Prequel, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. And, while I was impressed by the special effects and the fighting, I was seriously disappointed at the movies failure to carry over seamlessly into the original Trilogy.
Set roughly 20 years …
Hang Em High
If you like Clint Eastwood’s western movies then you will like Hang Em High. It is one of his older westerns and is a very good movie to watch. We have several westerns in our library but this one is one of our favorites. It has alot of action, …
Heat
“Heat” is an incredible drama/action movie with two brilliant movie stars sparking energy all the way Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. This is the first time Pacino and De Niro worked together after “The Godfather II”. What is also interesting about this movie is that it …

This movie is based on two pairs of twins that were separated at birth, one child of each of the set of twins were placed with two different families, one pair went to a rich family where they were spoilt rotten and believe the world is their playground, and …
Leatherheads movie
George Clooney, Rennee Zellwegger play in this movie. It’s basically about football a long time ago. It was an entertaining movie. Other than that it was just a movie. If you are looking for a good story then I don’t recommend leatherheads. If you are just looking for a …
Come Back, Little Sheba movie
Come Back, Little Sheba is a classic black and white film made in 1952. When I first heard about this movie, I really thought Come Back, Little Sheba was about little more than a lost dog and his heartbroken owner. Come Back, Little Sheba is beautifully done, even though …
