Movies Reviews
Stormbreaker movie
The best way to describe this movie is a modern time Indiana Jones teen movie. This film is based on the famous book of Anthony Horowitz but there seems to be a bit of a difference between the book and the movie version.

Around the World in Eighty Days movie

Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid
“Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” is absolutely one of most clever and hilarious movies I have ever watched. It Stars Steve Martin as private detective Rigby Reardon, hired by Juliet Forrest (Rachel Ward), the daughter of a cheesemaker , believed killed in an automobile crash. It’s clear right …
The Alphabet Killer
I came across an Eliza Dushku movie “The Alphabet Killer” on our Netflix Instant watch list last night and, because I have yet to see her in a movie I didn’t like, figured it would be worth watching last night. It also helped that it had Cary Elwes in …
Inside Access Jeff Gordon DVD
I saw the Inside Access Jeff Gordon DVD at the store and picked it up, thinking that it might be interesting. I’m not a fan of the racer, but I do think he’s talented and does some great things both on and off the track. I put it in …
Haywire (2011 film)
I am actually happy that I watched this movie for free and not in the cinema paying some kind of ticket. Well, I would say it is a strange movie; I did not understand if it was meant to be an action one or something else. Because you can …
Maneater (2008)
This is one of the natural horror (creature) movies in the “Maneater Series”. This particular one is about a man-eating tiger. I love these sorts of movies and try to watch every one that I can find. This is one of the good ones, too. It has a solid …

Max Payne
I can’t help to mention that Max Payne is just a stupid movie. I wish that it could have been better so that I could give a real positive review, but watching this from start to finish at the cinema was just a waste of time. I wasted …
Snatch Movie
A british comedy from director Guy Ritchie is a classic masterpiece of movie making. Action, comedy and revenge are the spices that bring this movie to life. Even with non British actors such as Brad Pitt playing a bare knuckle, incoherent Scotsman. With underground boxing, British hitmen, a Russian …
Incrediable Hulk 2008
I saw the new Incredible Hulk. I must say it was a great movie! The new 2008 version of the Incredible Hulk is must better than the older one. I was actually impressed with this version. One of the reasons I loved it so much, was because it was …
The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
The 2004 removie of “The Manchurian Candidate” stands out among remakes of movies in that in many ways it is better than the original movie. There are differences between the two, some good, some bad. The removie seems to run longer than the original, and it does, but only …

Bob’s Busy Day movie
Bob’s Busy Day is actually a movie short, and it’s notable for one main reason. It is the debut of Bob Hope. It’s big on comedy, including physical humor, beginning with Hope’s signature big nose. He’s definitely a younger man here. He’s slimmer and that …
The Hot Spot movie
The Hot Spot is an ultra cool movie about a man who comes to town. When this man comes to town, everything that was static becomes shaken up. Don Johnson plays Harry and while I am not a Don Johnson fan (at all!) , I do like him in …

Havoc (R, 2005) movie
Anne Hathaway stars as queen bee of her little crew in this film about white suburban kids in L.A. who are completely immersed in black culture. Films like “Black and White” capture this kind of phenomenon better. But Havoc shows the West Coast side of things. …
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 …
Movie The Notebook

Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar (movie) August, 2006
The name of the movie Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar sounds funny and many of us might presume it is a comic movie but well it isn’t. It is a very stupid melodramatic movie with horrible emotional ups and downs as stated in the film. I just cannot understand …
Pocoyo

DragonLance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight (2008) Movie
I have waited a long time for someone to make a DragonLance movie. I would have preferred a live-action film but this movie is animated. Still, it follows the novel pretty well. This movie is not perfect but it is very viewable, especially if you’re not too fussy.
All …
Pollock movie
Pollock is another movie about a real artist, Jackson Pollock. Pollock is the real deal and evidently Jackson Pollock was no peach. I was rather horrified by this movie, and it was very haunting. Jackson Pollock was an important American artist whose style was like no other. In Pollock, …
Resurrecting The Champ (PG-13, 2007) movie
I had heard of this film. But when I saw that Josh Hartnett and Samuel Jackson starred in it, I figured it was one of those movies in which the black man portrays a lost, but heroic figure. And the white man comes to save the day …

The Object of My Affection
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Object of My Affection” and the movie released in 2000 “The Next Best Thing”. Both of these movies tackle the issue of gay people involved in bringing up children and, unfortunately both of them, are not impressive movies.
What was lacking …
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban contains spoilers.

11:14 movie
11:14 is a rather odd and unusual movie. It tells the story in reverse time. It’s not a flashback as we’re used to seeing it, but it literally shows the end result of the action first, then goes back to the next segment before, and then the …
Disney’s Pinocchio
Disney’s Pinocchio is an animation master piece. Now a lot of people like this new Pixar stuff like Finding Nemo. And they seem to like it because it’s 3D and high tech. But before when animation was done the old fashioned way I thought movies were much better. I really …
