War is a movie that I was actually looking forward to seeing because I’ve recently become a big fan of Jason Statham. For some reason though I kept forgetting about the movie. When I saw that Blockbuster had previously viewed copies of the movie for about $5, I knew …

It took me a very long time to watch the movie “Die Hard” since after seeing it advertise on cable television, and hearing people, including of of my friends in particular talk about it, I thought it would be another one of those action movies with lots of action …

Fooled by the thriller of monster vs alien that i have watched in youtube[dot]com, i found that this movie is not that good as everyone predicted. When the first time i watched the thriller i can only laugh, laugh, and laugh (that was because BOB scene when he get …

I just watched the 2020 remake of The Karate Kid. It was an enjoyable movie. I must say though that I enjoyed the first movie the best. The remake is entertaining but not a movie that I’ll find myself watching over and over again. Not because of the …

When I heard that they were releasing a boxed set of the Friday the 13th movies, I felt a little thrill of excitement. These are the movies I grew up watching, and while Nightmare on Elm Street got its own treatment years ago, Friday the 13th was still bringing …

I was given the opportunity to watch Carrie one evening on Netflix. After hearing so many different things about the movie, I just had to see it for myself. I have to say that in the beginning when first hearing about it, I was skeptical, because there are so …

“My mind must be going”

The third and hopefully the last in the trilogy known as Final Destination. This time they go too far and make the movie too predictable. Whereas in the first movie, you can understand to some extent what happened after the boy had a premonition in the form of a …

I had thought I had seen all of Johnny Depp’s movies until I came across this one in Netflix. And, I was glad I found it.
This has to be one of Depp’s best roles (even though he didn’t get top billing for the movie; Marlon Brando did). He plays …

Looking through my Netflix for something to watch on a rainy Saturday night, I came across a movie that seemed somewhat strange but also interesting and quirky. It was titled Lo, probably a film that most people have never heard of, it is a story of a young man …

I can remember my mother constantly telling me about this movie over the years. However, I never seemed to see it on television or cable so I didn’t watch it for a very long time. It was apparently supposed to be one of the best war movies too, however, …

Ever remembered staring at your crush in school and not being able to tell him how you feel? Do you remember those days when you would call his phone just to hear his voice and hung up a minute later without even saying a word? Ever remember those crazy …

Some call this movie Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, but as I’ve said before, to me, it’s just plain Return of the Jedi. Once commonly thought of as just another sequel, once George Lucas actually wrote his other scripts, it became a rung in …

Endlight Entertainment’s Ninjas Vs. Vampires is not a movie that is meant to be watched alone. Don’t take that statement as this is the scariest movie ever made, although it does have a few jumps and some decent blood-spilling. This is a movie where you have some …

The movie I am about to review is considered one of the worst movies of all timec called Troll 2.This is for a very good reason.I will give my own personal reasons why the movie is so horrible.
The plot is essentially about Goblins that turn humans into plant-like matter …

I didn’t know what to expect when I rented The Brothers Bloom DVD; I had heard about this movie a bit, but not enough to get an idea what it would be like. I loved it, and in my opinion, it deserves a lot more hype than it got.
The …

I love classic old Doctor Who stories. I was born in 1974, the year that Tom Baker took over from Jon Pertwee, so have been really keen on finding out about earlier adventures, and these DVD boxed sets are great for that. This one contains 3 stories in total, …

Like any good psychological thriller, this film makes you think about the “what ifs” in your own life. The film revolves around a rich young man named Clay(Hayden Christensen) who seems to have it all; money, wealth, and a beautiful fiance (Jessica Alba). However, the one thing …

This is a wonderful BBC miniseries, and I recommend it highly. It’s based on a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, a Victorian writer, contemporary with Charles Dickens.
The story centers on Molly Gibson, a young girl living in England in the 1830’s. Molly is the only child of a local …

I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Lone Ranger” some time earlier on this year, but there was something about it that did not make me interested in seeing the movie, despite the fact that the actor Johnny Depp was playing a main character. I figured out …

Late in the 20th century, mankind was introduced to the concept of globalization, although the changes this term refers to can be seen taking place since the dawn of 20th century. As more people are getting aware of this concept and more of its effects are visible, the question …

Director Jason Reitman, in his third feature (after “Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking”) delivers “Up in the Air,” a more heartfelt and poignant effort than either of its predecessors-stylized in a similar way, but much more honest in its pathos-tinged comedy. It works better for me story-wise because …

The best way to describe “Virgin Territory” is a sort of young and funny version of “First Knight”. What is interesting in this movie is that the lead actors, Hayden Christensen and Misha Barton used this movie as a way to open their path for a Hollywood career.
At the …

In Her Shoes made me like Cameron Diaz. For whatever reasons, I have never been impressed with this actor and just didn’t think that much of her. In Her Shoes changed my mind. While I still do not consider Cameron Diaz to be one of my favorite actors, she …

I have a lot of respect for 1955’s Guys and Dolls because it pulled off the surprise sensation of the year, musically. I recently reviewed Chicago and commented there how surprised I was at the performances of non-singers and dancers Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Renee Zellweger. …

Pixar does it again. Besides Cars, I have LOVED every Pixar movie, Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Monster’s Inc., Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Wall e,; and Finding Nemo was no exception. In my opinion, they can to no wrong. This “kids” movie is one the best movies …

I recently had an opportunity to take my daughter to the Shriner’s Circus when they were holding it here in Beaver Dam.
While not the best circus I have ever attended, I will say it was a bit better than expected.
When I took my daughter to the Dodge County Fairgrounds, …

This was my favorite of the Original Trilogy. If you think of the three earlier films as one complete story, then Empire is the all-important second act. I like this film for several reasons.
First, it expanded on the Star Wars Universe introduced in A New Hope. This meant new …

Another perennial favorite, like The Wizard of Oz, I eagerly looked forward to my yearly visit to my favorite chocolate factory. Returning each year were the five kids, each representing bad habits parents wish their kids wouldn’t develop: Augustus Gloop and his greediness and gluttony, Veruca Salt the selfish …

It’s amazing how you can go into a movie expecting horrible acting, and a bad plot. But Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have really tapped into a very interesting story about Hector Lavoe. Many people have never heard of this famous salsa king from New York City …

The movie I am about to review is called Epic Movie released in 2007.Yes,it is literally called Epic Movie!!. The reason for this strange title is that the movie is a spoof of a couple of popular and high grossing movies that came out the time of the movie.Spoofs …

Despite over fifty years passing since her death, Marilyn Monroe remains one of cinema’s most renown blonde bombshells. Her sex symbol status was no mystery to me. She had the look that would stop traffic. With Seven Year Itch, she gave film one of its most …

The movie adaptation of a regular and popular television series. The difference between the movie and the series is that instead of using the puppets from the TV, they have replaced them with live actors to do their worst. I didn’t stutter, they really did their worst in this …

This was Cillian Murphy’s breakout movie as Jonathan Crane a.k.a The Scarecrow and I think he did an amazing job here. He could do drama as well as action and he’s a newly-talented and famous actor for doing and completing this movie alone! Christian Bale portrayed Batman in this …

Karate Kid (2010) stars Jaden Smith and Jacky Chan. This was a great movie, and this is almost a remake of the original Karate Kid. I liked this better than the old original ones. Primarily because Jaden. playing the role of Dre, is really cute. He acts beautifully, very …

Third in the franchise of the species series, this one did not live up to the hype and instead of crashing and burning in the theatres trying to rake in the box office bucks, it went directly to DVD, and that is what you call ’smart’. Now, if you …
