X-Files, I want to Believe
When the television show X-Files was on TV, I was a person who never found the enthusiasm to watch it. But, when the newest X-Files movie, I want to believe, came out, I figured I would give it a try to see what I had missed.
As it turned out, …

The Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club remains, to this day, my favorite teen movie, and one of my favorite films overall. Simply put, it’s a classic. John Hughes manages to define his five principal characters as much more than the simple stereotypes presented in most teenage driven movies, while, at the same …
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Well, “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”, can be summed up as this: “Great Classic Western”. Clint Eastwood does an exceptional job as the main character. The main story is about three men who are all on a quest to retrieve a stolen cash box that is buried …
The Goonies (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “The Goonies” is one that I have now referred to as an “addiction film”. What I mean by that term is simply this, that the film (for reasons unknown) is one that I cannot help but fall in love with. From the cast of misfits who …

Storm of the Century (horror movie)
Although it is a bit long, without any doubt, this is absolutely one of my favourite horror movies by Stephen King. With seemingly little effort, he manages to convey suspense from one end of this outstanding movie right through to the other as our imaginations run the gamut.
The …
Four Christmases movie
I was only able to watch Four Christmases on HBO and I have enjoyed watching it so much that it is now one of my favorite Christmas movies.
The movie stars Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn as Kate and Brad, a couple who seemed to have everything going for them. …
Zombieland movie
I heard very little about Zombieland before I rented it, however in passing I heard nothing but praise for the movie. I figured this was a bad sign. I very seldom agree with the masses on what is considered good, so I went into Zombieland thinking I was going …
Ice Age 3
We got a chance to finally see the movie Ice Age 3 (we were going to see it in the theater, but my wife was too far along in her pregnancy at the time). It was worth the wait.
This third installment of the Ice Age movies wasn’t as good …
Eddie the Eagle (2016 Film)
As I said in my “Moneyball” review, I am not totally a fan of sports movie and sports in general, but I did love that film. I had no intention watching sports-related films unless they’re really good but today I was left with no choice - I had a tight …
The Proposal (2009 movie)
I watched The Proposal in June 2009 with a couple of friends. Although it was not the movie I originally intended on watching, it was quite interesting and enjoyable. As a romantic comedy, I think that it was nearly flawless; the dull moments in the movie were far outweighed …
Freaks movie
The cult declared film from the early 1930s by Tod Browning was before its time with the story it tells. A circus companionship with “freaks” travels around together. The so called freaks are people with strange looks, everything from midgets to people with small heads. These people were authentic, …
The Death of Stalin, movie (2017)
I watched the acclaimed film The Death of Stalin. What can I say? A good comedy, similar to Monty Python’s work - in some places absurdist humor that makes the film funny in the best sense of the word.
The plot does not sag anywhere. It is interesting to watch from …
The Day After Tomorrow movie
This was possibly the best disaster movie I can remember watching. In fact, before this movie I had no idea that disaster movies could be great, since most of them tend to be b-movies. However, one of the things I learned from watching this movie was that good disaster …
The Hangover Part 2: Movie
The Hangover: Part 2 is a movie I, as so many others, have anticipated since its prior film. I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed as I was greeted with laugh after laugh with its comedic brilliance.
I have to say that I liked the fact that it was …
The Three Musketeers in 3D, 2011 Movie

Arachnophobia movie
I was trying to find something to watch last night while sitting up with our youngest daughter and ended up putting on the movie Arachnophobia.
Big mistake. And, not because it is a horrible film; because it kept me up half the night thinking there were creepy crawlies on me.
I …
“Playing House” (2006 Lifetime Movie Network Film)

Naruto Shippuden - The Lost Tower, anime

Primeval
A movie by Orlando Jones, Gideon Emery, Dominic Purcell, Brooke Langton and Jurgen Prochnow.
To me, a disppointing movie. I was really looking forward to seeing the 20 feet man-eating crocodile in full fledge actions, like what I saw with Anacondas or Lake Placid. It was not to be.
The story …

Kill Gill
I’ve been disappointed by most of the Simpsons holiday specials lately. But, last night’s Christmas special was pretty decent.
The Simpsons took in a character I’ve always found fascinating, Gill, the sales guy who can’t seem to catch a break. And, I learned a lot about him, including just how …

The 2002 film “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” was yet again another great addition to the Star Wars movies. It has so many unique aspects that have set this movie apart from others around it’s time such as the graphics, the plot, the acting, and the pure suspense …

Disneynature. When I first heard about the addition to the Disney name, I was unsure of it. Yet after seeing African Cats which was released in 2011, I fell in love with the studio. I couldn’t wait to see the other documentaries that were made under the studio’s name. …

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince
Why is it that books are always better than movies? A colleague explained that because in books, you visualize what is happening based from your own perceptions. You have a control on the scene, hence, you can create scenes according to your own imagination. This is why when a …
