Return of the Jedi movie
Some call this movie Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, but as I’ve said before, to me, it’s just plain Return of the Jedi. Once commonly thought of as just another sequel, once George Lucas actually wrote his other scripts, it became a rung in …
The Copper Beaches
I am reviewing The Copper Beaches, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, produced in 1983 by Granada television. In this episode, Holmes is employed by a red headed governess, who has landed a position with a couple with one small boy. She …

Canterbury Tales movie
Pier Paolo Pasolini’s adaptation of the classic novel by Geoffrey Chaucer about pilgrims who tell their dirty stories to each other.

Movie “Ruthless People” (1986)

White Oleandar
I watched this movie quite a long time ago. Most of the movie didn’t even make sense to me. I thought it was boring and uninteresting. It has Michelle Pfiffer in it and that is one of the reasons I started to watch it. I didn’t like the movie …
Android Love
I really hate this episode. I am not sure what it is about it that bothers me so much. Perhaps it is just the fact that the humanity of androids is a topic that has been covered to death ten times or more already in the world …
Rocky II
Rocky II is the rematch between Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed. The movie begins by showing the ending of the first movie. This is done throughout the Rocky movies (the first five) and was a great idea to do.
Shortly after the movie starts, Rocky and …
Columbo: Undercover movie
In Columbo: Undercover, Ed Begley Jr guest stars as Irving Krutch, insurance investigator. We get 5 minutes of him in this offbeat role. He wore me out and he bore me at the same time. I lost interest in his shenanigans in his overdone storytelling. …

The Other Boleyn Girl movie
I have not read the novel by Philippa Gregory, but I really enjoyed this movie, in spite of reading so much criticism. It was beyond my expectation. I usually avoid watching epic film but there was something engrossing about “The Other Boleyn Girl”, that left me seated till the …
The Pagemaster
This movie is so much fun! It was made in 1994 and stars Christopher Lloyd and Macaulay Culkin, with other well known actors lending their voices and talents to the film, including Whoopi Goldberg.
When the movie begins and ends, it’s live action. But, for the …
Movie: Stomp the Yard
I got bored this weekend and ended up watching some movies I came across on TV. One of these films was the movie Stomp the Yard.

Hollywood Land movie

I think the movie, which is about former …
Ratatouille
Ok … this is another cute mouse movie by Disney. It’s quite alright … but I don’t think it was geared towards a wide enough audience. I thought it was so cute; the mouse cooking for the guy who wanted to be chef; and the transformation the chef made …

Falling Down (1993) Movie
I tend to always watch Falling Down when it comes on television. I can always relate to film and literature that is misanthropic in its sentiment and, as movies go, this is better than most rubbish out there.
Michael Douglas plays William Forster who has apparently cracked …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
The countdown to the end has begun for Harry Potter fans around the world. My family and I saw “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1” a couple weeks after release, and couldn’t be more pleased. Unlike the previous films where the screenwriters and producers left out major …

Mr Brooks
Starring Kevin Costner (Earl Brooks), Demi Moore (Detective Tracy Atwood), William Hurt (Marshall), Dane Cook (Mr Smith), Marg Helgenberger (Emma Brooks), Danielle Panabaker (Jane Brooks)
The name ‘Kevin Costner’ attracted me when I was searching for a movie to watch. It cannot be too bad a show if Costner …
Shallow Hal movie
Shallow Hal is probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. Jack Black stars as Hal the shallow guy who only cares about a woman’s body. I gotta say the movie made me laugh. The past where he said tells him to get a woman …

I love family oriented movies you can see with your children.

Sleepy Hollow (1999 Film)
Who can forget the legend of Sleepy Hollow? And after watching the 1999 film “Sleepy Hollow” starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci, the blood and gore of the film (and the headless horsemen of course) make it difficult to. Though this film was made in the 90’s, and technology …
Killa Season: The Movie
Killa Season is an amature movie which had a very low budget and very few cameras and when you watch the movie you will see why nobody should ever make a movie this way. Appearing in this “gangster” movie are rap stars Juelz Santana, Hell Rell and Cam’ron and …
Movie The Hangover

Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Back in the 1950s, they made the book Invasion of the Body Snatchers into a movie. I still think it is one of the better invasion movies of all time. But, today I’m going to review the 1978 remake of the film starring Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum
While not …

Labor Day (2013 Film)

The Heartbreak Kid
I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …
