Dead Mans Shoes (2004)

Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds (2005)

Waterworld (movie)

Virgin Territory
The best way to describe “Virgin Territory” is a sort of young and funny version of “First Knight”. What is interesting in this movie is that the lead actors, Hayden Christensen and Misha Barton used this movie as a way to open their path for a Hollywood career.

Change of Habit movie
Change of Habit is a movie I’ve always enjoyed watching. It’s one of my very favorite films to star Elvis Presley. In fact, it was actually his movie, something I find very sad. His co-star was Mary Tyler Moore, reportedly the only co-star who never slept …

The Blob movie
My wife and I ended up blowing off our housework yesterday and watched movies all day. One of the films we saw was the 1958 classic “The Blob.”
Even though I’ve seen the sequels and remakes of the movie, I still feel this original is the best. Steve McQueen is …
American Dad
I rarely watch American Dad. It’s a funny show, but the jokes are a little too crude to be watching with my daughter in the same room.
I did watch last night’s Christmas Special though and was entertained.

Friday the 13th Part 8
I realize that most people think this is the worst film in the entire series of Friday the 13th movies, but I actually did like it. I think what I liked the most was that it almost feels as if the producers know people will think it’s cheesy so …
Movie: “Sex Drive”
For me, “Sex Drive” was an instant classic. I couldn’t stop laughing all the way through this ridiculous romp. Like most of the movies I prefer, it’s based on a book (’All the Way’ by Andy Behrens). I was absolutely entertained and look forward to watching it again.
The film …
Hoodwinked movie

Just Another Girl on the I.R.T. (R, 1992) movie

Starving in Suburbia (movie)

Firehouse movie
This review is for a movie called Firehouse, which is not to be confused with Richard Dean Anderson’s Firehouse movie of 25 years later. However, whereas in 1997 it was women having to deal with being accepted, in this 1973 version, it’s African Americans struggling to break in …

Three woman gang together to over throw their abusive boss that is the whole nature of this movie, the plot is tight around this fact and it makes for a wonderful movie for all to enjoy. Dolly Parton plays the role of the under appreciated secretary, one that has …
Mongolian Death Worm Movie
I took off yesterday afternoon and, since I discovered there isn’t anything good on TV Friday afternoons, I ended up watching a movie I had DVR’d a couple weeks ago; Mongolian Death Worm.

The Librarian: Return to King Solomon’s Mines
I liked the first Librarian movie “Quest for the Spear” so I figured I would give the sequel “Return to King Solomon’s Mines” a try.
It turned out to be an OK movie but it wasn’t as good as the original.
You have the same guy playing the Librarian. Only this …
