Once in a while, an unexpectedly decent movie shows up, and for some reason it is not really noticed. This is yet another such movie. A remake of the 1950 British movie with Alec Guinness, this new, 2006 version stars Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd, a quiet, hard-working woman …

Recently, I evaluated the Netflix rental service. It’s very much like that of Blockbuster’s, where you select the DVDs you’d like to rent, they send them to you, you return them, and then the next one is sent. Unfortunately, the Netflix trial isn’t as long as Blockbuster’s …

One of the movies we ended up watching this past weekend was one called “Death of a Ghost Hunter.” My wife and I like the television series “Ghost Hunters” and I figured this movie would be close to that in terms of plot and would be halfway interesting.

The villains who run ‘Motel Hell’ must be related to the family depicted in “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” which this film parodies quite often. In fact, “Motel Hell” parodies a whole list of modern …

I was on a quest this summer to find the best comedy, and they saved the best for last, in my opinion. Tropic Thunder is the funniest movie of summer 2008. Better than Zohan, Get Smart, Pineapple Express, AND Step Brothers, which is saying a lot giving …

I took the time to watch the Jim Carrey movie Yes Man even though I had some reservations about it. I don’t mind him as an actor but some of his films are a bit too much for me.
However, I will admit the movie was much better than expected.

When Raymond Burr couldn’t film his role as Perry Mason, several movies for television were produced without him, utilizing other Hollywood stars as A-class lawyers. I really wished they hadn’t done that. It was a waste and a sham. They would have done better to have …

Wow. I almost hated to watch this movie again because it’s a heartbreaker, and more than that, it’s a true story. That’s why it rips through me. I remember watching this in 1977. I remember reading about it. I believe it was Parade that did a …

Maybe I’m a little late in reviewing “The 10th Kingdom” miniseries, but seeing as it’s the ten year anniversary of when it aired on NBC, I figured I’d share my thoughts. I recently watched the DVD of “The 10th Kingdom”, and it’s the first time I’ve seen the movie …

Jeremy Brett in the role as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as dr Watson. This is a tv produced film that preceded the very popular series, and Jeremy Brett is in my opinion the best actor to appear as the mastermind next to Basil Rathbone (of course).
The classic story …

I saw the movie recently, one early morning when I wasn’t feeling to well and I couldn’t sleep, and I must say that it actually managed to keep my interest and to somewhat distract me from my sickness.

One of my favorite VHS tapes (yes, I am over 50 and therefore behind the times) is “Throw Mama from the Train”. Despite the horrid title, this really is a good adult movie. In fact, I might even go out and buy it on DVD, since tapes …

Hayao Miyazaki’s follow up to the much acclaimed ‘Spirited Away’ is another masterpiece of animation. This film in no ways pushes the boundaries of animation and doesn’t attempt to which is refreshing. Too many modern animation films concentrate on wonderful computer affect to the detriment of the …

First of all, an admission. I had not heard anything about this film and would normally not see a romcom at the cinema. I only went because there was a free preview showing through Guardian Soulmates (strangely apt to see a romcom about failed relationships as a dating event). …

Roy Rogers stars in this 1940 western called The Carson City Kid. I have to admit that watching this movie was a relaxing experience. I just sort of kicked back and enjoyed a simple picture that was the classic good versus evil battle.

I didn’t like this movie since I believed it was more of a female exploitation movie, which I wasn’t interested in. This was because it contained a lot of female nudity scenes as well as lesbian scenes which made it more resemble soft core pornography than a horror movie. …

I enjoy Tim Burton movies, especially the stop motion animation ones such as Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas. So I was very eager to see Coraline. I had high hopes and high expectations. It turns out that I was not disappointed.
