Larry the Cable Guy: Witless Protection
I’m a huge Larry the Cable Guy fan; both his stand up comedy and the several movies he’s starred in recently. So, I couldn’t wait to see his newest film, Witless Protection.
While a funny movie, I have to say it really didn’t live up to the standards set by …
Traitor, spy thriller film
Traitor came out and was hoping to bank off of the success of other films. It didn’t work too well but can the video release at least shed some life on Don Cheadle’s action movie?
Samir Horn (Don Cheadle) sells weapons to terrorists. When a sale in Yemin goes …
Mary Poppins
Practically perfect in every way. That is how Mary Poppins described herself. She might as well have been talking about Disney’s blockbuster movie. Right up front I’d like to point out that my reasons for loving this movie was the music. The music stood out more for me with …
The Day The Earth Stood Still 2008
This movie was one of the best remakes to one of the best classic science fiction films of all time! The new twist on the film offers a modern day yet authentic horror to the realization of what could happen! There is lots of suspense and graphics and has …
Movie - “House”
Sure, the plot seems a bit “cookie-cutter” at first; but don’t let that fool you. “House” is a deeply disturbing film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Two young couples are stranded in rural Alabama. They find shelter at a nearby bed and breakfast; but what …
Religulous documentary
This is an excellent documentary - not only is it a must see but it is a must buy for your video library. I would warn though, for people who are religious - a lot of content may be viewed as offensive. In the documentary Bill Maher …
3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain (1998)
You will not have to worry about entertaining the little ones while watching this movie as, similar to that of a cartoon, this movie will have them pinned down for a good while watching utter rubbish as the usually watch on a daily basis. Do not worry about trying …
Nacho Libre
Nacho Libre with Jack Black.
As a fan of Mexican Lucha Libre, or professional wrestling as it could be called, I thoroughly enjoyed this film about this national past time. It appears to be a comedy farce film, but it is too accurate in its …
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a movie about four girls that were brought together by providence. Their mothers were all in the same Lamaze class and their due dates just happened to be all in the same week. The girls became friends as young girls and …
Chronicle Movie
“Chronicle” is a very encouraging type of film; especially, during its beginning scenes. It is light and witty. The film is presented in a very one-sided angle—”so to speak. The audience witnesses: shots taken by the film’s character in way of his digital camera …
Bob the Butler movie
I ended up finally watching the movie Bob the Butler this past weekend. It was on my Netflix player but I never took the time to watch it because I am not a huge Tom Green fan and thought it would end up being kind of dumb.
It turned out …
Millennium movie
From 1989, this science fiction movie speaks to me for some reason, and I really don’t know why. There’s just something about it that makes me want to watch it, over and over again … and I do.
Millennium stars Kris Kristofferson as Bill Smith, who as a young …
Hostel Part II
Hostel Part II is damn unsettling. I was so scared out of my mind watching this, and I have a great reason for it. If those of you who have watched Hostel Part I before felt that the movie experimented with a clubhouse type of hostel sponsored …

Caffeine (NR, 88) movie
I saw that Mena Suvari (of American Beauty) and Breckin Meyer were in this offbeat comedy. I thought it would be more about a diner with quirky characters. But it’s actually about a trendy looking café in London with quirky characters. The story itself …
Wake Up Ron Burgundy
You’ll find “Wake Up Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie” as a special feature in a double disk edition of the popular film “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.” The film tries to pass itself off as a sequel to the film, although as the film itself admits it …
Push
I think that Push the movie is not that bad but not that great either. Honestly speaking, it has some good and bad moments. Child actress Dakota Fanning is charming as always but I find that her role could have been better.
Maybe because this is kind …
No Reservations Comedy
The movie is about a master Chef KATE who is a busy bee in her work and would never allow anyone enter into her work as the film\’s name itself suggests. Her manager asks her to go to therapy.
But her sister dies in an accident, she has to …
Aquamarine
I watched Aquamarine with my ex boyfriend years back and up till now, if there are any of my young cousins coming, this would be one of their most favorite DVD to watch.
The mermaid is so gorgeous in this movie and acted by Sara Paxton. I really …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
There aren’t many movies that I’m willing to spend the price of admission on. Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull is one of the few I am.
Quite simply, this movie is awesome. If I could afford it, I would go back again and again. I don’t …
Nightmare on Elm Street the remake (2010 Film)
While I never saw the original movie of Nightmare on Elm Street, I have to say that the remake was for the most part enjoyable in the realm of horror movies. This film also made me want to watch the original film so that I would have something to …
Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit movie
The latest Wallace & Gromit film is the first one with these to characters to come out in a long time. Everything about it is just so good as you could ever ask from an animation film these days. Excellent look, believable, funny and interesting plot. Most of all …
Walt Disney’s Dumbo (1941 Movie)
Last night I watched Dumbo with my wife and 3 year old girl on the TV and I can’t tell you which one of the three enjoyed the movie the most. It’s a charming movie with the right doses of humor that just appeals to the whole family.
Dumbo is …
Mrs. Doubtfire
Although both my parents are adamant that I watched this movie with them in the theater, my earliest memory of watching this movie was when I watched this on video at my cousin’s house when I was still a young child in the early nineties. I can’t remember thinking …
Borderland (UR, 2007) movie
I thought I had seen just about all the slasher films that were going to be good in 2008. I will confess that the 8 Films to Die For series has left me cold on a few occasions. However this film had me intrigued from the very …
The Nativity Story
I am reviewing the movie, The Nativity Story. I’m not sure who the actors are in this movie but they all did a good job. The Nativity Story follows the story of Mary and Joseph, and the birth of Jesus. It also follows King Herrod and his crazy quest …
Maximum Risk (1996)
When Alain Moreau discovers the body of a slain man, he sees that they look exactly alike; it would seem that this dead man is his brother and his twin brother at that. Not knowing who this man was or what led up to his death, Alain now takes …
The Water Diviner, Movie
The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …
Canterbury Tales movie
Pier Paolo Pasolini’s adaptation of the classic novel by Geoffrey Chaucer about pilgrims who tell their dirty stories to each other.
This was made in a time where Pasolini was constantly taking new turns in his filmmaking and in my opinion getting further away from his original genius in his …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …
The Happening Movie
A movie I never heard of and have never even seen in posters was downloaded by my brother to a DVD copy. It was supposed to be a thriller mystery movie, but it kind of left me wondering about the movie more than being able to understand it. The …

“Ernest Scared Stupid” (1991 Film)
Many people are familiar with the Ernest films. Each of them are themed differently but revolve around a loveable and child-like man who can be clumsy at times but becomes everyone’s friend and sometimes hero by the time the film is over. Not to mention he makes me laugh …

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging

Halloween 2 movie
Rob Zombie returns with the follow up to his remake of the seminal slasher film. Last time, he made a terrible job of the remake and this time round he makes an even crappier job with its sequel. Well, that isn’t really fair. The awful flashback sequences from the …
The Wicker Man (Original)
I watched the original Wicker Man and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I’m not a fan of horror and although this was labelled as a horror film it really wasn’t. The ending was quite horrorific but the rest of the film was not. …
Godzilla (2014) Movie
In 1998, Sony Pictures Entertainment and TriStar Pictures released the first American-made Godzilla movie. At the time, it was a big budget movie that incorporated extravagant special effects with a well-known Hollywood actor cast as the lead. The movie, for the most part, took the monster in a drastically …
Straight Talk movie
Now Straight Talk is a movie with Dolly Parton that has some meat to it. It’s not quite the wonder that Nine to Five is, but Straight Talk is a good movie that has some real story to it.
Shirlee Kenyon (Parton) maneuvers her way into a radio job, …
Anatomy Movie
Anatomy is one of those horror movies that I really love. It isn’t too graphic, it doesn’t use a lot of harsh language, but it still manages to scare you in ways that other movies can’t. I think part of it is because the movie was made in Germany …
The Men Who Stare at Goats
I really didn’t know what to expect when I went to the theatre to watch The Men Who Stare at Goats, but from what I had read and seen, I was intrigued enough to actually not wait to see it on DVD, which is unusual for me. Plus, I …
House Of 1000 Corpses
The film was completed in 2000, and finally released in 2003, written and directed by Rob Zombie and starring Bill Mosley, Sherri Moon Zombie, and other lesser known actors. The film is extremely dark, violent, and shocking, it’s not to many movies that make a person feel sick and …

The Other Boelyn Girl
The interesting thing about movies based on the life of a real historical figure is you sometimes get a point of view that is different than you would come to expect. And, that difference makes the movie much better than you expected it to be.
The Other Boleyn Girl is …
The Reaping film
Through this movie, Hilary Swank has reminded audiences once again, that she is one of Hollywood’s greatest Heavy-Hitters. Her acting skills were brilliant. Maybe this is why some of the other cast members appeared as though they needed to step it up a notch? “Who is that blonde little …
