Cloud Atlas movie
To be completely honest before I had watched this movie the trailer was so disappointing that I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I just happened to want to watch a movie and came across it. However this was one of those movies that just really got to me. …

Yes Man (2008)

Being filmed in 1984, “Dreamscape” may be a little dated when it comes to special effects, but it is still a good movie. Alex Gardner, played by Dennis Quaid, is a gifted psychic. He is invited to participate in a government funded sleep research at the special clinic that …
The Devil Wears Prada (PG-13, 2006) movie
It is now 2008, and I just now got around to watching “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is because I am not prone to watching films that feature implausible storylines with patchy endings, over-the-top soppy acting, and so on and so forth. But I was attracted …

E.T., The Extraterrestrial
Disney proved that boy-and-his-dog movies were always popular, as did Lassie. But could boy-and-his-alien work the same way? I believe only if told by the right person. Steven Spielberg was that right person. Continuing in his aliens-are-our-friends vein, he brought us E.T., The Extraterrestrial. This was on of only …
Mary, Queen of Scots movie
Mary, Queen of Scots is a great movie about the Queen who held her ground and took on England and anyone else who dared defy her. Vanessa Redgrave plays Mary, and she is super in this role. I had to watch this movie in one of my history classes …

500 Days of Summer (2009 Movie)
Okay, 500 Days of Summer was not exactly my choice of a movie. The trailers didn’t look that appealing…but at least they were honest.
The movie was watch-able. I suppose it’s possible to believe that it’s a relationship from a guys point of view, but I really don’t see guys …
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)

Chappie Movie (2015)
Chappie is an excellent follow-up to District 9 and Elysium and is one of the better transhuminism films that are out today. It delivers complex ideas about molding the human mind and also attempts to imagine the possibilities of artificial intelligence.
First of all, this movie will tug at your …
Movie: Iron Man 2

A Dog’s Breakfast movie
A Dog’s Breakfast surprised me a great deal because while it was as warped as I suspected it was, but it was also somewhat enjoyable. I didn’t like some of the more graphic parts and the innuendo that resulted, but as a whole, it was oddly enjoyable.
I’m not …
Psycho movie
From imitation and its popularity among film scholars and horror buffs, Psycho has no more surprises left —“ that’s a given. However, Sir Alfred Hitchcock foresaw this problem and infused Psycho (as well as his other pictures) with the more effective element: suspense. We know where, why, and when …
Amadeus
Somehow, I thought that this movie was made in the 1990’s, so I was rather surprised to find out that its release date is 1984. I rented it from the library after seeing it mentioned in a book I was reading (totally unrelated) that had stirred my interest. The …
Date Night Movie (2010)
Every movie Steve Carrell makes I am loving him more and more. It seems he just gets better at what he does best - acting comedic parts that aren’t really supposed to be funny. I know it doesn’t like a complement but he really is a good actor and …

The New World (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The New World” starring Collin Ferrell, Christian Bale and Q’orianka Kilcher is a beautifully romantic tale that captures the rough and heart breaking story of Pocahontas. Not only was this story a version of Pocahontas that perhaps many are not familiar with, but shows in depth …
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
OK, maybe it’s because I’m a guy, but I just can’t understand the attraction of a movie about four girls who form a club based on a pair of blue jeans that happen to fit all of them.

Legend of Zorro
Whether he is doing comedy or drama or action adventure, Antonio Banderas is always on the mark. He was born to play Zorro, and his choice to play him dramatically with just a layer of comedy is the right choice. Catherine Zeta Jones does well as his wife– ex-wife …
Movie: Bad Dreams
Bad Dreams is one of my favorite, unabashedly guilty pleasures from the late eighties. Starring Jennifer Rubin, Dean Cameron and the chick who does the voice for Bart Simpson this movie is eighties schlock horror at its best. I remember seeing this movie late one night on …

Dazed and confused movie

Friday the 13th Uncut (1980), slasher film
Friday the 13th was not the first slasher movie, but it does get credit for a few things. The biggest seller point to Friday the 13th is the fact we never saw anything like this, at the time. To this day Friday the 13th has been able to stand …
Crank 2 Movie
OK well Crank 2 is not like a super good movie. But I can say it had lots of energy and action in it. Crank 2 really brings the violence the sex, the craziness. This movie overall seems to be very crazy and just a wild ride with not much …
Meet The Parents (Film)
