Movie The Invasion
Overall it was an alright movie. It’s nothing like I thought it was going to be. It would be an alright movie to watch on a rainy day but if you are looking for a really good movie I wouldn’t choose this one. It did keep me some what …
Mr. Untouchable (DVD)
Many people were up in arms about “American Gangster” starring Denzel Washington. The story of Frank Lucas is quite fascinating. But then later on, months after the movie’s hype had died down, I started hearing some things about Frank Lucas and Nicky Barnes. In American Gangster, …
Burn After Reading
Burn after reading is a 2008 movie of the Coen brothers. I had great expectations but I must say, right here at the beginning, and I got disappointed. First of all when I saw the list of actors; George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt and the rest …
Midnight in Paris (movie)
I had never heard of the movie “Midnight in Paris” until I saw where someone mentioned it in a blog a few weeks ago. The person mentioned that it was a brilliant independent film that all independent film lovers should see, and proceeded to give a description of the …

Glitter Movie
Review of the movie Glitter. 2001.
Starring Mariah Carey, Max Beesley.
No wonder screenplay writer Kate Lanier took a four-year hiatus after her work on Glitter. I’m just surprised she didn’t have extensive plastic surgery, change her name, and flee the country in disgrace. Fortunately for her however, there is plenty …
Family Guy - Something Something Dark Side
Empire Strikes Back was my least favorite of all the original Star Wars films, so I didn’t know if I would like the Family Guy version of it. Since they stayed pretty true to the first movie, A New Hope, I …
Wedding Daze (2004)
When I came across the movie Wedding Daze on television, I thought it was the comedy starring Jason Biggs. Instead, it was a Hallmark Original movie that, for a comedy, was actually very dumb.
It’s really disappointing that an actor like John Laroquette, who made his mark as a womanizer …
Movie Accepted
I am a person who normally avoids movies about college life. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed classics like Animal House, but it seems most college-themed movies focus almost solely on showing as many naked co-eds as possible and the films really lack substance.
That’s why I’m glad I got …
A Little Princess Movie
The first time I saw this movie, I was just flipping through the channels and found this strange little movie on HBO. I sat and watched the whole movie, just on a whim. It turned out to be a cute little movie. A sad but uplifting story of a …
The Village movie
M. Night Shyamalan first became famous after the release of the movie he directed entitled The Sixth Sense. After that, he directed a number of less successful movies. The Village is a movie of his that did not get very good reviews when it came out. …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
The Time Traveler’s Wife is probably going to be liked more by women than by men. I thought it was okay but was hard to follow. I would have enjoyed it more if I had not spent theater prices to see it and should have just waited until it …
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994)
Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, is one of the best Frankenstein movies that has ever been made. This movie is so powerful that it moved me in a way that no other movie ever has. It stars Robert De Niro, who is an incredibly talented actor, as …
Saw (2004 movie)
A deranged serial killer sets the table for his next victims. Nobody knows who the real killer is, every one keeps pointing the finger at a certain individual, and when it’s all said and done, it turns out that person is also just a puppet in the serial killers …
Movie: Monster in the Closet
My wife and I were in the mood for a horror movie the other night but, since we both were kind of tired and wouldn’t enjoy some of the blockbusters we had at our disposal, we ended up watching something from the 1980s that we thought would be a …
Scream Dream
The low budget horror film Scream Dream is a very sad attempt to recreate previous successful cinematic shockers. The lighting of the this movie is absolutely terrible, and the acting abilities are worse. You get a very strong impression that the movie was produced with a home video …
Wreck It Ralph movie
Wreck It Ralph is a fantastic movie, both for kids and for adults. It is very family-friendly, and a great flick for a movie night.
The movie was released on October 29, 2012 in theaters, and is approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes long. I personally enjoyed every minute …
The Seventh Sign movie
Strange events take place in the world, events that in courting to the bible hints that the apocalypse is close. For a woman named Abby Quinn it could also mean that her unborn child may be in danger.

The Butler (Historical Drama Movie)
I like historical dramas so when I found out about The Butler I knew immediately that I just had to see it, even if I wasn’t able to view it in theatres at the time. Shortly after the amount of bad reviews and ratings it had received from regular viewers …
Unearthed, horror film by Matthew Leutwyler
Matthew Leutwyler hopes to strike it big again with Unearthed. The movie Leutwyler wrote, Dead & Breakfast, was a classic. Instead of following the same formula Leutyyler went with a different approach, one in which that will bore horror movie goers for years to come.
Unearthed feels like a …

Halloween (UR, 2007) movie
I am not too proud to admit that I thought this movie would be a piece of garbage. But I was sooo totally and completely pleased with how this movie was made. Thinking that it would be a convoluted and cartoonish remake of the original thriller, …
DeepDiscountDVD.com
I use DeepDiscountDVD.com about 6 times a year to purchase DVD’s. The site offers movies, books, and music, but I primarily use it to purchase movies. I typically buy $150 - $200 worth of DVD’s at a time because the site offers free standard shipping within the U.S. So …
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Lethal Lifestyle movie

Film “Frozen” (2010)
I just finished watching this movie and I have to say I was impressed. It bills itself as a thriller and all you know about it from the previews and the poster is three kids get stuck on a chairlift and have to get back alive. …
xXx: State of the Union movie
If you have ever seen the first xXx (Triple X) movie, you cannot deny that it really did not need a sequel. This one stars Ice Cube as the new, more intense xXx. C’mon…this movie is substandard and really disappointing, not to mention, very distressing to watch. There is …
Washington Square movie
This is a remake of the 1949 classic titled “The Heiress,” starring Olivia de Havilland. While the original is hard to beat, the remake is actually not too bad. Of course, there are some rather questionable additions and a definite feminist touch, but what else can you expect from …
Mr and Mrs Smith
‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ is an English movie and an interesting one. Mr and Mrs Smith are a married couple. In the movie, differences and conflicts arise between them. They lose patience with each other. On the surface, both of them are innocent people. Nobody would guess that they …
Stockholm, Pennsylvania (2015 drama movie)
“Stockholm, Pennsylvania” isn’t a very popular film, and so it’s understandable even if you’re a movie lover like me and have never heard of it. I consider myself lucky because I was able to catch it when it aired recently on HBO or Cinemax.
Despite some of the negative critical reception …
High School Musical 2
High School Musical 2 is finally out. Everyone has been looking forward to the sequel to big hit High School Musical 1. I was looking forward to it as well. Even though I am not a very big fan of the first movie, I want to know what new …
Pocahontas
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Pocahontas. Back in the early nineties, there were a lot of good Disney movies being made. Pocahontas was one of them. Everyone knows the story of Pocahontas. A group of sailors under the command of Ratcliffe enter the land of the natives and …
Flawless (R, 1999) movie
I had skipped over this film in my Netflix queue for a long time. Thre was something about seeing Phillip Seymour Hoffman playing a gay drag queen that kept me from bumping it up in the queue. Then I rented it finally. Robert DeNiro is …

Lars and the Real Girl Movie (2007)
After watching Lars and the Real Girl I am proven once more that you cannot judge a movie by its plot description. When I read that the movie is about a lonely man who develops a deep and romantic relationship with a doll he orders only, my reaction …

Rocky Horror Picture Show

Let me start out by saying that, if you haven’t seen this movie already, you may want to …
