“Road House” stars Patrick Swayze as the philosophical cooler, “Dalton.” The movie has a strong cult following and has now been released in a deluxe edition with all kinds of special features. While it’s always wonderful to stock up on “Dalton’s” guide for Zen-like living, the extras in …

Nicholson plays writer Melvin Udall who suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder who cannot have his routine disturbed. When his favorite waitress Carol (Hunt) quits her job so that she can …
Fools Rush In
“Fools Rush In” represents the big leaps from the small screen to the big screen for Matthew Perry. I feel that his interpretation of his part in this movie helped him get more important parts such as “The Whole Nine Yards” role. Perry was so excited by it all, …

Dirty Deeds, 2005
“Dirty Deeds” is a comedy some kids will like, but if you prefer smart humor, don’t bother. West Valley High School has a funny tradition: every year during the homecoming week one of the students takes up the challenge of committing “10 Dirty Deeds” - 10 pranks that progress …
Girl Positive (movie)
As I mentioned previously I love watching some Lifetime movies even though a lot of them aren’t necessarily up to par when it comes to acting, writing and directing. Even the storylines at time don’t even add up. However, when I watched the movie “Girl, Positive”, it was definitely …

The General’s Daughter, directed by Simon West is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for graphic images relating to sexual violence including a strong rape scene, some perverse sexuality, nudity and language.

A series of events, that have no real reason other than to lead up to what this movie is about, leave the tunnel that connects Manhattan to New Jersey in a weakened and near destroyed state. With people trapped inside the tunnel, and water is coming in tempting to …
Eddie Murphy: Raw
If you’ve ever seen Eddie Murphy in family films like Dr. Doolittle and Shrek, I would recommend renting his Raw performance on DVD.
This is Eddie Murphy at his best, giving stand-up comedy performances and talking about everything from politics to women and race issues. If you have kids, put …
Movie The Sixth Sense
M. Night Shyamalan is a driector of some strange movies. Yet when you see his films they are usually very good. I watched the movie starring Bruce Willis as Dr Malcom Crowe and Haley Osment as Cole Sear the little boy who see dead people.

Movie 2012
I liked this movie. It’s another movie from Roland Emmerich, which I consider to be the master of disaster movies the likes of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow. Apparently, he produced and directed this film for Columbia Pictures, which is of course owned by the …

I am reviewing the movie, The Sentinel, starring Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland. Michael Douglas’ character is a secret service agent working for the president. He’s a good secret service agent. Everyone can depend on him, and everyone trusts him, except his former best friend, played by Kiefer …
Cinderella Man
This movie is mainly about boxing; I do not particularly like boxing, but I do like this movie, very much. While bloody fighting scenes still made me cringe, I was completely blown away by the beautiful family relationship of the main character, Jim (a boxer nicknamed Cinderella Man). Jim …
Blockbuster Video
We have often rented movies at Blockbuster, but lately we have been checking out a smaller video store down the road.

Angel-A

Thelma & Louise (1991)
Thelma & Louise, is a movie about two female criminals who happened to fall on their craft by accident. But no matter that, let’s get into the meat of the matter…no pun intended. This movie shows the level that people can sink to in times of desperation, never push …
Harold and kumar go to white castle
One day I watched this movie because I was really bored and it was on television. It wasn’t that good at all. I think I might have laughed once or twice. Most of the time I like movies about this or that are like this. This movie though made …

Moulin Rouge (2001)
This movie is a musical based on the love shared between a writer and a cabaret actress. How quaint that most musicals encompass the same thing. This movie, while it did manage to grasp quite a few nominations for Oscars, only managed to scrape through with winning only two …
11:14 movie
11:14 is a rather odd and unusual movie. It tells the story in reverse time. It’s not a flashback as we’re used to seeing it, but it literally shows the end result of the action first, then goes back to the next segment before, and then the …

Evan Almighty
This is an amazingly respectful movie on a spiritual theme - respectful to God and faith. The title clearly hints on Bruce Almighty that had come out in 2003, but it is not a sequel; just a similar story. The similarity is made even closer with the same actor, …
Movie Jeremiah Johnson
Jeremiah Johnson from 1972 is all Robert Redford. He’s a man who tires of the city and the worst parts of society. He wants peace, and he finds it in the mountains. He’s a greenhorn, though, and it’s not until he meets Bear Claw, played by …
Avatar 3D
James Cameron’s new mega hollywood blockbuster Avatar is one of those movies you just have to watch. Whether or not you like the genre, any project costing hundreds of millions of dollars is in my mind something to look out for.
I decided to see it in its full glory, …
Movie Zoolander
Since we have access to free movie channels for a couple months, I’ve been taking advantage of it and watching films I haven’t seen in a while; including the movie Zoolander.

Middlemarch (1994), a movie

The Reef (thriller movie)
So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …
