Casino Royale
I was very skeptical about watching Casino Royale for I was never interested in any of the previous James Bond movies. I figured they are very predictable, where the hero beats everyone up, always winning and ends up with the beautiful girl. I’m so glad I gave Casino Royale …

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) was a great homage to all the cliff hanger serials of the 1930s and 1940s. It was another blockbuster for the 1980s and was 1981’s biggest box office hit. It helped to solidify Spielberg as one of the top directors in Hollywood and …

The Lone Ranger Movie
“The Lone Ranger” is more than just a western. It delicately combines the ironic take on the genre and the homage to the similar European and American classics. To me “The Lone Ranger” is something like “Pirates of the Caribbean”, but in the Wild West. Here, in contrast with …

You’ve Got Mail, a blast from the past remake …

Alien 1 1979 Director’s Cut Blu-Ray Movie

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, movie

Gidget Grows Up
There was a bit of hiatus between the original three Gidget movies and TV series of the early and mid-60’s to this made-for-TV movie of 1969, but it was worth the wait. Gidget Grows Up is in reality my third favorite of the entire Gidget franchise. It’s …

Wake Me When the War Is Over movie
This 1969 movie, Wake Me When the War Is Over, is a comedy that has moderate success. I actually think I liked it better as a kid watching it. Now it’s a little on the stale and slapstick side of things for me.
The movie stars Ken Berry …
Rush Hour 3 (2007)
Coming back for a third time, Rush Hour 3, in my opinion, has done a lot better than the second. With a great addition of Israeli actor Yvan Attal, who plays George, this movie is a great finish to top off a funny trilogy.
Jackie Chan is back and better …
Rhythm and Blues Revue movie
Rhythm and Blues Revue labeled with a 1955 release is really just a bunch of performances down like a night club show. There’s no story plot; there’s only the show. However, it is a lot of fun, with a full roster of African American performers.
Below are a …
