Eddie Murphy: Raw
If you’ve ever seen Eddie Murphy in family films like Dr. Doolittle and Shrek, I would recommend renting his Raw performance on DVD.
This is Eddie Murphy at his best, giving stand-up comedy performances and talking about everything from politics to women and race issues. If you have kids, put …
Hancock
Hacock has Will Smith in it and he plays a superhero. When I first rented the movie, I wanted to see it but it wasn’t a movie that I was that excited about seeing. Now I am glad that I watched it. I liked Hancock because it wasn’t all …
Repo: The Genetic Opera
This movie was…interesting. Imagine a Tim Burton movie on crack, that’s what this is. When they say opera, they mean it as a vast majority of it is sung. This works for the most part, but a few of the early “songs” are basically just dialogue …
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (UR, 2007) movie
I waited until this movie came out on DVD to rent the Director’s Cut. I am so glad that I did. I knew that this movie would be funny simply because Judd Apatow (”The 40 Year-Old Virgin”) was at the helm. Additionally, there is no …
Behind Enemy Lines (2001)

Date Night Movie (2010)
Every movie Steve Carrell makes I am loving him more and more. It seems he just gets better at what he does best - acting comedic parts that aren’t really supposed to be funny. I know it doesn’t like a complement but he really is a good actor and …
Movie “30 Days of Night”
I adore this movie. I have always loved vampire movies. I don’t consider myself a huge vampire fan, so much as a fan of a certain type of horror movie. I enjoy supernatural horror films quite a bit. A good haunting, a vampire or a …
Case 39 Movie (2009)
It is quite unusual to see Renee Zellwegger in a horror movie like case 39, to say the least. When I think about Renee Zellwegger I am coming up with images from Bridget Jones Diary or Jerry Maguire. But she did it, and she did it brilliantly. She brought …
Annabelle (2014) - Spin-off of ‘The Conjuring’
For me, most horror movies that have been produced in the last decade have merely used rehashed cliches and the same formulas to create what often turns out to be a subpar movie. The story doesn’t flow often and cheap tactics are used to incite fear. ‘Annabelle’ is another one …
Blonde Joke Videos
It’s probably not politically correct to make fun of blondes any longer, but I ran across several lately that made me laugh at least. They can be found on Youtube.com and probably in similar places like Google Video.
The first of these a very cute blonde video, or maybe it’s …

We have a new shopping center that’s still in the process of being built and it’s practically in our back yard! It’s called Lansdowne Station. It’s close enough to be very convenient, but far enough away that we don’t have the extra traffic and headaches. It’s great! One store …

Colossal (2017 Sci-Fi Comedy Film)
