This is a remake of the classic that starred, C. Thomas Howell, from way back when. The original was the kind of thriller that you could watch over and over again. This remake was plain ridiculous. The action seemed a lot less than the original, the acting far …

I bought this movie a while back and I am glad I did. It was really good. It’s kind of long but it’s good. There is some action in the movie but the whole movie isn’t full of action. All of the actors do an amazing job in the …

From 1987, The Rosary Murders begins with a priest being murdered at a catholic hospital and the news that a woman is leaving the sisterhood to marry a non-catholic. She doesn’t quite make it, though, since she’s the next to be killed, and it’s quite the bloody scene, …

Horror movies these days have taken the plunge–into the cheesy. I thought “See No Evil” would be one of those films. And to a degree it is. The same character set-up applies which involves a group of teens and a creepy old house. This time …

Will Smith is one of my favorite Hollywood actors. He has reinvented himself quite well, from being a former rapper and television star to becoming an A-list movie actor. I’ve watched almost all his films (my favorite being The Pursuit of Happyness). So I was really excited to see …

I just recently had the chance to watch this movie on dvd. My friends were telling me about it and how different it is from all the other super hero staff around. It is indeed with a special kind of humour, not as dark as the hero comix we …

As a father with three children, ages 9 down to 3, I went into this film with some trepidation. Mind you, I like children’s fare, but this one just didn’t have the appeal for me.
Boy, was I wrong.
The tap-dancing penguin in the movie is just adorable. As much …

“The Castle of Fu Manchu” is one of Christopher Lee’s older movies. Like the other movie “The Castle of Fu Manchu”, most people I know either like this film or hate it. It never seems to be in between. Personally I think this one is not much better than …

‘A Walk To Remember’ was a film released in 2002, was one unforgettable and must-see movie. The drama made me cry even if I watched it so many times. It’s timelessly and beautifully romantic.
The characters are alive, so true. Among the stars is Mandy Moore, teenager back then. …

A movie so bad they decided to call it something completely different when it was released on video. Stoned Age is the comedy to bear the National Lampoon name. At one time this name met something but now you can see why the National Lampoon series is dreaded by …

I heard of the movie Girl with a Pearl Earring long before I watched it, but I just figured that it would be one of those overblown movies that would only be popular because it had a Hollywood sex symbol playing one of the main roles. However, after forcing myself …

With movie theater tickets averaging around 10 dollars, and popcorn, soda and candy averaging all together around 10 dollars as well, that all adds up to a very angry person leaving the “Meet the Spartans” theater. I think I lost brain cells watching that movie. I wanted to throw …

The 2000 film “X-Men” starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen is a supernatural film almost about a war that is being waged, as well as prejudice’s that people have over the unexplained and different. This is a topic that many people can relate to, and even …

Disney truly has outdone itself this time with “High School Musical 3.” It is a fitting finish to the entire franchise that spawned such fervor in the preteen/high-schooler-wannabe population, and I am very pleased with the ending. The theaters were packed with people of all ages to see the …

Will Smith has attempted to do inspirational films before and has failed. He struck gold in …

I wasn’t expecting a lot from this film. And I have to say that this film met my every expectation of it being a predictable and humorless blockbuster. Zombies chomped their teeth when you expected them to, cars crashed when you expected them to, and Brad Pitt played the …

I have no idea how to even describe this 1945 movie short called Open the Door Richard. It’s a strange production that I just don’t understand. It features Dusty Fletcher and the infamous Richard, if only in spirit.
