Under the Skin (2013 movie)
I find that with mainstream movies there’s very little to talk about. I usually get information from the culture and arts section of many a magazine or newspaper and shy away from the hype. People continue to brood over the movie Under the Skin, despite that it …
Bedazzled-Brendan Fraser & Elizabeth Hurley
I loved this movie because it was so funny. Who would have thought that the devil could be a comedian or so sexy. Elizabeth Hurley was great in this role because she brought a special touch to it. I enjoyed her constant antics and trickery so much. She kept …
“Get Him To The Greek” (2010 film)
I’ll say right up front that I don’t much care for Russell Brand, and although his performance as British rock star Aldous Snow in 2008’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” was a good and humorous counterpoint to sad-sack lead Jason Segel, in general I find him sort of irritating-his hosting gig …
Jammin in Jamaica
Jammin in Jamaica is a kid movie intended for teenage girls. It’s not exactly my cup of tea though but my girls like it. It’s about a group of teenage girls and their boyfriends who play in a band. The boys get an opportunity to go to Jamaica for …
Crazy Heart (Movie)
Any movies that receive Academy Award nominations tend to increase my expectations on what to expect when I finally do see them (I usually wait until they come out on DVD, rather than go to a theatre). So Crazy Heart was right up there with the other Best Picture …

Signs (movie)
I really enjoyed watching this movie and have seen it twice or maybe even three times. I really liked it and think it was a really good movie. Everyone that I know that watched it liked it. I wouldn’t say it’s one of the scariest movies I have seen …
K-19: The Widowmaker movie
K-19: The Widowmaker was released in 2002, and I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not. Honestly, I’m still not totally sure. It took me three or four views to really get into and grasp the entire scope of the story. That surprised me because …
Elfen Lied
Considered by many to be the most cruel anime ever made, Elfen Lied contains some of the most disturbing violence ever animated. That said it is also one of the truly beautiful and powerful pieces of art and story that I have ever seen.
Based on the manga by Lynn …

Horrible bosses movie (2011)
First off, let me just say that the movie ‘Horrible Bosses’ was absolutely hilarious! I really had no reason to see it other than the fact that Jason Bateman was in a starring role in the movie. It also stars Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis and …
Perfect Stranger
This movie kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. You do need to kind of pay attention while watching though because once it gets to the end of the movie if you haven’t payed attention you aren’t going to understand it. Halle Berry did an amazing job …
Paranormal Activity (R, 2007)
As soon as I heard that Paranormal Activity was coming to theaters I wanted to see it immediately. I have long been a fan of movies like this, and was waiting with baited breath to see some horror that wasn’t contrived and silly. I am actually glad …
Death Race (2008 version)
Fast, furious and deadly these are the best words that describe the movie “Death Race” with Jason Statham in a very different role when compared to “Transporter” movies. This film is a remake of the 1975 movie “Death Race 2000″ which had the actors, David Carradine and …
What happens in Vegas
I received this from blockbuster yesterday, I wanted to hurry up and watch it so that I could send it back today. I thought it was a pretty good movie overall. It definitely made me laugh a couple of times. Although it wasn’t hilarious it still made me laugh …
Ready to Rumble movie
Back in the 1980s, you could make a movie about Pro Wrestling and people might buy into the storylines. But, with most people today realizing that the matches they see on television and pay-per-view are pre-determined, trying to make a modern movie about the “sport” just doesn’t work.
That’s why …
Movie: “The Benchwarmers” (2006)
I was highly disappointed by this movie. It had such potential, starring comic giants Rob Schneider, David Spade, Jon Heder, and Jon Lovitz. But it failed to entertain.
Gus (Schneider), Richie (Spade), and Clark (Heder) are three misfit friends who love baseball. One day, as they’re getting ready to play, …
Air Force One
Out of Harrison Ford’s movies, the film Airforce One might actually be one of the most underrated.
In the film, Harrison plays the United States President and is kidnapped onboard the presidential plane, along with his family. And, unlike many other presidents, who might sit and do nothing, he ends …

Daniel Craig’s take on James Bond
Right when I had gotten used to Pierce Brosnan as Bond they took him away from me. This after they took away Timothy Dalton, who I thought brilliant, after a mere two films. Even though I disliked many of the Brosnan Bond films, I loved Goldeneye and even found …

What’s the Worst That Could Happen?
Mix the acting ability of Martin Lawrence with another great comedy actor Danny DeVito and you get a great comedy that will make you laugh non-stop. What I really enjoyed about “What’s the Worst That Could Happen?” is the two main actors’ ability in bringing out the best possible …
Blue Collar Comedy Tour
I am reviewing the video, Blue Collar Comedy Tour. This video captures the on stage/off stage moments of comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy. Throughout this tour, you’ll hear several of Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck…”, and Engvall’s “Here’s your sign.” …
The Secret (R, 2006) movie
You will probably recognize her as Juno’s hyper teenage BFF. But Olivia Thirlby proves otherwise in this 2006 thriller called “The Secret.” The DVD cover art may throw you off. You may think that this is some seedy Lolita movie in which the teen wraps …
The Fast and the Furious, Tokyo Drift
The Fast and the Furious, Tokyo Drift is the third movie of Fast and Furious. The story of this sequel is not so different from the movie before, it’s about car racing and a lot of good and modification car of course with fight and conflict between the main …
Choke the movie
I watched choke last night and I was extremely disappointed. I had
read the book before which I thought was very good and the movie just
didn’t stand up by comparaison. Maybe my high hopes for the movie are
what made me feel extra disappointed. I feel like they just took the
kinda …

Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties is a very funny show indeed. If you have not yet watch this, I highly recommend. I will always love Garfield. He is just so, so funny. And especially a good watch with the voice-over by Bill Murray.
