The Disaster Artist (2017 Biographical Comedy-Drama Film)
A lot of biopics (or movies about real people) are made about successful people who did amazing jobs in their respective fields. I can’t think of many films that do the opposite until The Disaster Artist. A movie about director Tommy Wiseau who made the worst (as some would say) …

The Usual Suspects (1995 Classic Film)
As a very vocal fan of director Christopher Nolan, I kept on looking for films that were similar to his visual style and storytelling.

Superhero Movie
When I saw previews to Superhero Movie, I wasn’t really sure whether it would be funny or not. From the previews, I thought it would just focus on known super heroes like Superman and Batman and find ways to spoof them; a formula that has worked on some subjects …
The Hole movie
It was my friend who actually recommended the horror film called “The Hole” to me some time ago. The person didn’t tell me much about it either since I don’t like to be told much about movies before I watch them; but nevertheless, based upon how they described it, …

Autopsy movie

Spider-man: Homecoming - (Movie 2017)
It almost seems every few years we have a new Spider-man franchise. While I’m definitely a fan of the days where Toby Maguire graced the screens as Peter Parker/Spider-man, Spider-man: Homecoming took me to a more refreshing look at Spider-man himself.
The Spider-man franchise starring Maguire and …

Wow. What a great movie. Bruckheimer has tapped into a zeitgeist here. People want FUN family entertainment and this is a terrific example.
Took the family to see it tonight and it was fantastic.
Afterwards, we compared the first and this one- honestly, I preferred the first because it had a …
Memoirs of a geisha
If there is one book on a cultural setting that I like the most, it would be “Memoirs of a Geisha” by Arthur Golden. Aside from its compelling story, its precise-to-detail description of the flower and willow world in Japan is superb.
“Memoirs of a Geisha” is set in 1930’s …

The Hurt Locker
I had been encouraged to watch this year’s Oscar winning movie, “The Hurt Locker”, for a few months before I finally sat down and put the film on. While I don’t usually like war movies, I thought that this particular production might be worth a few hours of my …
John Carpenter’s “The Thing” (the 1982 film)
Initially, I imagined John Carpenter’s 1982 classic “The Thing” to be an ordinary, old and spooky film. Yet, I found it intriguingly scary. I didn’t quite reach the thrill I had wanted but it was still a significant masterpiece.
I also enjoyed the characters and the setting. Both were respectable …

The Empire Strikes Back

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Whenever Hollywood produces a movie about superheroes that is successful at the box office, it isn’t unusual to see them attempt to make a sequel. Usually, the sequel is nowhere near as good as the original.
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a perfect example of this.
When I …

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is just a fabulous movie, rich in theme and substance. No matter how many times I watch this 1967 classic, it still touches my soul.
The performances just can’t be matched. Hepburn and Tracy, in their last coupling together on film, are dynamic, …
All the President’s Men
I’m not into politics much at all, but like most of America, I was glued to much of the Watergate hearings. All the President’s Men is the story of how we got to that point, and it’s superbly done. I remember when I first saw it in …

Insidious Movie
This movie is exactly what the name suggests — Insidious. If you find yourself sorting through new movies and find nothing that deserves any consideration, I would encourage you to give Insidious another look. If you are looking for a star studded cast, Shymalan-esque plot twists, or …

Because I Said So is a Romantic comedy where the mother tries to find her daughter a “mate” by putting up a personal ad on the internet. While it has it’s funny moments and of course all things work out in the end it is a slow movie. It …
Gidget Goes to Rome movie
The third Gidget movie was entitled Gidget Goes to Rome. It marks the last time that James Darren would appear as the very handsome and ‘oh, I’m swooning’ when I see him, Moondoggie. He was happy to move on from the character, though he understands its place …
Toy Story 2
Very few sequels live up to there predecessors. Toy Story 2 had a big job on its hands living up to Toy Story which was a movie I cherished. So, how did it stack up? On par in my opinion. Just as good as the …
Dragon Heart movie
When I first rented Dragon Heart, I thought it was going to be a dumb movie. I was pleasantly surprised about how good it was and have watched it several times since.
