Never Street (Loren D. Estleman’s Amos Walker)
“Never Street” is my favorite Amos Walker novel yet. I love film noir and every hard-boiled detective owes his roots to film noir. There are no more hard-boiled detectives than Loren D. Estlman’s Amos Walker. With “Never Street” Loren D. Estleman combines the two. “Never Street” is a hard-boiled …
Crank (movie)
This movie is hilarious not in a slapsticky, Jack Black kind of comedy funny but it is really funny. Jason Statham plays Chev Chelios, a hitman who happens to have got himself poisoned and will die if he doesn’t keep physically moving. Amy Smart plays Kate, the love interest …

Few have probably not heard of the Die Hard series,let alone Bruce Willis.The main character remains the same,namely John McClane (now bald),a detective that seemingly has the “talent” to enforce any given situation.In the movie,years have past since the last encounter,and McClane is trying to make peace with his …

Jackson Masters The Lovely Bones movie
I don’t think I’ve ever felt so uncomfortable and so gripped by a movie as I did in the first hour of Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones. Considering I pretty much knew what was going to happen, I’d say Mr. Jackson should get all the credit he deserves.
Truly a …
Up film
Up is another one of those animated films from Pixar that comes out every so often that we feel we’re too old for but end up watching anyhow. At least, that’s how I usually feel about animated films these days.
Up is about an old man, Carl Fredricksen who …
Alvin and the chipmunks
I watched this movie with my little sister a couple of weeks ago. It was good for the most part but I did notice that I was a little more interested in the movie than she was. I thought that it was a very cute kids movie and really …
“Battle of the Bulbs” (2010 Film)
While I am a fan of holiday films, I am sorry to say that the 2010 Hallmark channel film, “Battle of the Bulbs” was not one that I would wish to watch again. The film lacked a decent plot I believe, and didn’t really appeal to me and get …
Chicken Little movie
When it comes to being a good family film, Chicken Little falls a little short.

I am a Demi Moore fan and this is one of her movies that I really love. I love how the story was made because it shows about true love and its really romantic one with a little twist of comedy. I enjoyed watching it since most of the …
Movie The Notebook
I really have always liked James Garner as an actor and he starred in a really nice little film called The Notebook. This love story also stareed Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, Gena Rowlands and James Garner. The story starts with James garner visiting with his ladylove (Rowlands) in a …
Catch & Release DVD
I have just watched Catch & Release, a new romantic comedy movie starring my favorite actress Jennifer Garner. This story is pretty funny, but it gets boring, with the normal flavor formula being repeated over and over again. I tried to make myself love the movie, but …

The Bible … In the Beginning movie
The Bible … In the Beginning is a huge John Huston epic that tells the story of the Book of Genesis from the Bible. It’s not without its controversy, however, primarily with the opening Garden of Eden sequence in which male and female nudity is shown. That …
All-American Co-Ed movie
All-American Co-Ed, a 1941 release starred Frances Langford as Virginia Collinge, one of the college gals attending Mar Brynn College. Her roommate, however, isn’t exactly who, or what, she, er, he, seems. It is all based on a crazy premise about rival schools getting their jollies at …
Leatherheads movie
George Clooney, Rennee Zellwegger play in this movie. It’s basically about football a long time ago. It was an entertaining movie. Other than that it was just a movie. If you are looking for a good story then I don’t recommend leatherheads. If you are just looking for a …
Blue Crush (2002)
A chick flick about girls and surfing. This was the very fist movie and I think this is the only movie that you will see to date about girls competing in a surfer competition. I get that people want to be equal opportunists and stuff, but there are just …

Three Days of the Condor movie
Sydney Pollack directed this mesmerizing spy thriller, Three Days of the Condor, in 1975. It stars Robert Redford as Joseph Turner, a man who reads books for a living. He’s employed by the CIA. His very unassuming place of employment seems low key and simple enough. …
Zombieland Movie
It’s a short and simple story chronicling the lives of four survivors in a zombie infested America. Quite a shallow plot, but extremely funny. Its comedic factor is refreshing because it isn’t lewd or too slapstick.
Columbus played by Jesse Eisenberg was funny when he was alone, giving the …
27 Dresses (2008)
Here we go again, yet another dull, boring and dreary chick flick to torture the living daylights out of you and leave you wondering why the hell do developers keep putting such utter rubbish on the silver screen, but worst, why do people pay good money to go and …

The Abyss
It’s an oldie but a goodie, in my book. The Abyss, 1989, stars Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Ed Harris as part of a civilian diving team hired by the military to search for a lost submarin carrying nuclear warheads. When the team, both civilian and military, are disconnected from …

Movie Idiocracy
One other movie I ended up watching on TV this past weekend was a movie called Idiocracy. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s from the same people who brought us Beavis and Butthead and, while I did watch the show when I was younger, I wasn’t …

Saddened by the premature death of actress Brittany Murphy, I put a few of her better known films on my Netflix list. The best of these was one I had not seen before, and was surprised by the quality of it. The dead girl starts with a woman finding …
V for Vendetta (2005)
V for Vendetta (2005)
Director: James McTeigue. Featuring: Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving and John Hurt.
In my eyes, the movie stands somewhere between greatness and boredom, all depends on how you like your movies. It is told in a non realistic, graphic novel style. The heroes are symbolic and …

First off, I thought the character choices were great. Jennifer Lawrence …
Masters of Horror: Cigarette Burns (movie)

Blood Diamond (2006 film)
We have all heard about Africa, we have seen reports on the news, but we have never experienced it as directly and as strongly from the screen as we do with Edward Zwick’s new visually and emotionally competent epic adventure drama film Blood Diamond.

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 …
Stranded (2001) Movie
This is a science fiction film about the first manned trip to Mars. Instead of being action as most science fiction movies are, this is a drama. It’s also a survival story, one that’s filmed pretty decently on a low budget. It’s the story of five people stuck on …
21 Movie
We watched the movie 21 tonight. I think it’s cool that it was based on a true story. Can you imagine how smart those kids had to be? It just blows my mind!

Legally Blonde 1
Legally Blonde is all about a clumsy-in-love woman named Elle Woods who did everything against all odds to prove that she’s got both beauty and brains. I kinda love this movie although it gets a little corny sometimes with some scenes about her crying over her boyfriend who already …
