The Odd Couple II
Sequels are often just the worst things under the sun, often taking the original characters to ruin. There are few that really are true to the story, that follow it through and make it all believable. Sometimes you still enjoy the original better, but even so, you …

Breaking the waves movie
The danish director Lars von Trier has been hailed as a master of cinema and won many prizes on the Cannes film festival the last 15 years. To me he is a very overrated filmmaker who never really managed to develop his own cinematic expression that couldn’t be mistaken …
Movie: The Fastest Gun Alive
Synopsis: A gunslinger who reportedly is the fastest alive tries to keep his identity secret and live a normal life with his wife. Instead, he has to fight an outlaw.
What I liked about this movie: I have seen quite a few westerns involving gunfights and, while they are all …
Bulletproof Monk (2003)
I don’t really get the whole basis of this movie. It goes too wide and gets way confusing the longer the movie progresses. Eve though it has a pretty straight forward and easy plot to follow, the direction of the whole movie has not been put together in a …
Without A paddle
This is a great movie for a day that you want to just kick your feet back and relax, maybe laugh a little. It was really funny in some parts, other parts were just ok funny. I really enjoyed watching it, and bought the movie. I would watch it …
Monsters versus Aliens Movie (2009)
I thought this was a pretty good movie at first when I saw the preview on HBO, it’s a science fiction cartoon movie and I haven’t really caught this on the big screen so I was excited to watch this on my new tv set. This movie features Reese …
How To Train Your Dragon Movie (2010) Animated
I have always loved animated movies. I have heard of this movie How to Train Your Dragon and it actually was on IMAX theatres because it was 3D. I did not see it in 3D but it is alright because I am not really keen on watching it like …
Get Smart movie
“Get Smart” was a great show back in 1965 when the first episode aired, although I was too young to actual watch the first episode, I enjoyed many years of reruns. Surprisingly, one of the creators was Mel Brooks, which I think is a naturally funny guy without really …
Sherlock Holmes Movie
When I heard they were making a Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, I was somewhat interested. But, then I saw the previews for it and thought it would be stupid so I avoided watching it at the theater. And, when I got my DVD …
Night of the Demons (2009 movie)
I guess the majority of me figured that based on the rather silly title of this movie, as well as the description that I had read about it on the electronic cable guide, the movie “Night of the Demons” wasn’t going to be very good. However, I ended up …
New Halloween Movie
I am not really a movie person and often I find myself waiting until a movie comes out on video to even bother watching it. But I had different plans for the NEW HALLOWEEN MOVIE. I figured this would have to be a decent movie because of the past …

Terror Tract
I watched the very beginning of this movie yesterday. I didn’t even finish watching it because it was so boring. It was suppose to be about these haunted houses but it wasn’t really. It was just about these people that were having an affair and the woman’s husband came …
Paranormal Activity movie
As Paranormal Activity 2 is coming out soon, I thought it was time to sit down and write a review over the first film. Surely everyone by now has been given one opinion or another; this movie is absolutely terrifying and believable or it’s about as scary as an …
The Negotiator movie

King Kelly of the U.S.A. movie
King Kelly of the U.S.A. was released in 1934 and actually had some entertaining moments. While it dragged here and there and was very vaudeville in spots, it still is pleasing to watch in today’s world.
The story begins on a cruise ship and that is where we meet …
Ouija, Horror Movie (2014)
Despite the pre-release hype, Ouija didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s intended to be a horror movie but it’s weakened by a terrible cast and paltry directing. The screenplay of the movie is decent but it wasn’t utilized properly. As a horror movie, ‘Ouija’ completely fails. It wasn’t enjoyable …
Boo
There are quite lots of movies out there having pranks gone wrong, and the story plot of Boo is something like that.
The illustration cover DVD also looked kind of tempting the first time I saw and I had a feeling it was going to be a good story …
Dracula: Dead and Loving It
Dracula: Dead and Loving It with Leslie Nielson, Mel Brooks, Steven Weber, Peter MacNicol, Harvey Korman, and Amy Yasbeck.
Was this supposed to be one of those comedy spoof films or an honest attempt at another version of the Dracula film remakes? I am not sure. …
Iron Man
I have never read the Iron Man comic strips before. So, when the movie came out, I wasn’t sure what to think.
After finally watching it this weekend, I’m regretting not seeing it at the theater.
Robert Downey Jr. is great as a wealthy weapons developer who develops a conscience and …

Bobbys World cartoon

I think the animation in the show is pretty good. It looks pretty cool but yet it’s …
Green Lantern movie in 2D, starring Ryan Reynolds
First off, I must say that I am a very big fan of the Green Lantern comics and have been for over a decade. The reader needs to know of my bias towards this film. Unfortunately, there will be a few spoilers, but I’ll try to keep them at …
Frankenstein, 1931 movie
Loosely based on the novel by Mary Shelley, this classic horror movie is perhaps one of the better known adaptations. Boris Karloff’s make up and performance of the monster make it quite unforgettable, despite the movie’s liberal handling of the book. Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) is obsessed with finding …
Mona Lisa Smile
I have always thought Julia Roberts acting to be very influential and contagious, in a positive way. And in Mona Lisa Smile, she suits the role that she played as a teacher in a college and the time era was during the early 1900s. My 2 favorite actresses; …
Bicentennial Man
There is something special about robot movies, provided that they are done well, of course. This one is. Robin Williams plays Andrew, the ‘bicentennial man’ - a robot. Built to work as a servant (a bit of a clich perhaps, but it is only logical to use robots for …

The Bank Job (Movie)
This is a story based from the infamous 1971 London robbery. I love stories like these, not that I’m inspired to be a bank robber but more likely I love to find out the minds of these robbers like what they are thinking and how they go about plotting …
Rush Hour (1998)
What is there to say about Rush Hour? Well, it’s probably the funniest films I have ever watched. With actors Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, this movie has the perfect combination of comedy and action. A must see for any fan of this genre.
Rush Hour is about a Chinese …
Movie Tinker Bell
I’m sure we all have heard about her. She’s cute, shining, flying and has become a classic. We’ve seen her as Peter Pan’s little friend who doesn’t speak but now she has her very own movie where the spotlight is on her from start to end. It has been …

Alien 1 1979 Director’s Cut Blu-Ray Movie
Alien. Just the name of the movie series has inspired fear and the knowledge that I was going to see some kind of creepy and out-of-this-world frightening creature that was going to come out of the darkness and shadows to make me want to jump out of my skin. …
Red 2010 movie
After I was more or less disappointed by the few movies that were about the same story (The A-Team , Go, The Expendables), I awaited anxiously as an incorrigible fan again to be cheated by the pensioners from Red . Especially since I’m always tempted to give a chance …
Rush Hour 3
It lives up to the name of rush hour and rush hour 2. If you watched the first two and liked them you will like this one. It’s a great comedy. They are both hilarious in the movie yet once again. It’s also not just a couple of funny …
Baby Einstein movie
I’m not sure who came up with the Baby Einstein series on DVD but I am very glad that they did. These videos are a god-send for parents of toddlers everywhere.
My 2-year-old will watch movies but, like most kids her age, doesn’t sit too long before she’s moving on …
Step Brothers
I watched Step Brothers on DVD the other night and I was laughing so crazy! I do not realize that a movie starring just these two actors, namely Dale, acted out by John C. Reilly and Brennan, acted out by Will Ferrell could really be hand-clapping funny and fun. …
Ratatouille
When I saw Disney had come out with a new animated movie about a rat who is aspiring to be a French chef, I will have to say I had my doubts. It sounded like a cute concept but the thought of a rodent handling food people eat just …
Grease movie
I watched the movie “Grease” with my daughter this afternoon on DVD.
“Grease” is pretty much a classic musical which stars Olivia Newton John as Sandy and John Travolta as Danny Zuko. This movie was made in 1977. This movie is based on the play but I do think the …

Babes in Toyland 1934 BluRay Movie
