Knocked Up (UnRated, 2007) movie
Seth Rogen is my all-time new hero. I love that he’s shlubby, because his dry sense of humor makes him seem more attractive than he actually is. In any event, this is the whole premise of the movie “Knocked Up.” Catherine Heigl portrays Allison, …
The Lady Vanishes movie
One of my favorite Hitchcock films from his time in England. An old lady disappears while travelling in Switzerland, and when this is noticed by two of the passengers a most hideous plot is revealed little by little to a most unexpected end.
One of the first brilliant examples of …
Back To The Future
Everyone wishes they could go back in time to straighten out family disfunctions. But as this movie shows, if you aren’t too careful, things could turn out worse than before.
This tight, well written script by Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale, who teamed up previously on 1941, was a joy …

Johnny English
This movie, like anything with Rowan Atkinson in it, is very funny. It doesn’t quite have the flow to it that many of the Mr. Bean sketches have, but it’s still very fun to watch.
It seems similar to the Pink Panther, yet of course different. In this movie, Johnny …

The Departed: Movie
The Departed is one of my favourite films, it’s absolutely brilliant. Although I am not generally a fan of the genre, the all-star cast made this a must see for me and it certainly didn’t disappoint.

Movie: Backwoods

Erin Brokovich Movie
I saw this movie twice and was very impressed by Julia Roberts’ acting. She isn’t one of my favorites, which I don’t think is her fault. Since ‘Pretty Woman’ she has been a bit typecast. Most movies I’ve seen her in have been very light and …
Braveheart film

Please Don’t Eat the Daisies movie

Thinking XXX (NR, 2004) documentary
