The Help (movie)
One of the best drama movies I remember watching in the early part of 2012 was the movie named “The Help”. I had expected it to be very good because of the actors that were involved in its making, but I never thought that it would be one of …
Film “The Other Guys” (2010)
I consider myself to be a fan of Mark Walburg but not of Will Ferrell. I used to like Will but I have found his last several movies to all be similar. Mark can play a range of characters, but Will always seems to play a very …
Employee of the Month
Employee Of The Month with Matt Dillon, Steve Zahn, and Christina Applegate.
This movie was actually two movies. What I mean is that for the first half we are watching our hero Matt Dillon go through the worst day of his life. In the …

Starred Up (drama movie)
Starred Up was one of those movies that was recommended to me. However, at the time I didn’t pay it much attention because I’ve never heard the movie mentioned anywhere else. I figured it was going to be one of those low budget flops that was more of a waste …
Movie Orphan
I really feel like wanting to smack right out of this kid, Esther. The movie is not in a horror genre but more to gory. Orphan the movie, is unexpected and you will be surprised at the revelation. I’m not going to tell you what it is …
Bad Teacher 2011 movie
I was waiting for Bad Teacher to premiere so badly. First of all, I see pictures of Bad Teacher everywhere: on billboards, on bus stops, etc. It keeps on getting in my head everyday. Secondly, the commercials look awesome. It looks absolutely hilarious. Last but not least, I love …
Alex and Emma (2003 Film)
The 2003 film “Alex and Emma” starring Kate Hudson in the early stages of her career, and Luke Wilson, was a film that was really trying to be romantic and funny. I could see it in the jokes and scenes that were exaggerated. However, it really did not deliver. …
Columbia House DVD
I had a very bad experience with Columbia House’s DVD club. Through this club, you are offred a certain number of DVDs at a discount as long as you buy a set amount of DVDs at regular price within a set amount of time. I signed up through a …
Arachnophobia movie
I was trying to find something to watch last night while sitting up with our youngest daughter and ended up putting on the movie Arachnophobia.
Big mistake. And, not because it is a horrible film; because it kept me up half the night thinking there were creepy crawlies on me.
I …

Based on one of my favourite novels ever, Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf, this movie explores the inner world of three different women, living in three different times. They’re all connected to eachother somehow, the first being none other than the writer, Virginia Woolf (played by Nicole Kidman), who …
Devour movie
Sometimes Hollywood comes up with a unique idea for a film only to have it suck because of poor execution.
The movie Devour falls into this category.
What can I say, the idea of an online video game that causes people to commit murder and then mutilate themselves is definitely something …
Orphan movie
Orphan was released July 24th 2009. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. If you haven’t seen it yet you are not missing too much so don’t fret. This movie tried hard to come across as a horror/thriller type movie. In reality it was neither. It was more like a …

You, Me and Dupree movie

Couples Retreat
When I first saw Couples Retreat I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The movie has gotten some pretty bad reviews and has even been in the papers for some racist actions.
Firstly I must say that the producers did a terrible thing when they edited out the …
Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is one of my cartoon collections. I love the story so much and I got entertained watching it. I love how the story was made. It was a story of a real parental love. As a watcher I find it a very meaningful animation story. I have …
There Will Be Blood movie
My wife and I picked out the movie “There Will Be Blood” because it looked and sounded like it would be a great action film.
They should have called the movie “There Will be Boredom.”

Hancock The Movie
“Hancock” is now officially my new favorite summer movies. I thought “Sex and the City” was good, but this movie blew them out of the water. First off, I do not recommend this movie for small children, or children in general for that matter. While the dialog was hilarious, …
The Possession of Michael King (2014 Horror Film)
I enjoy a good horror film, but unfortunately it is one of those genres that is becoming washed out with tired ideas and weak plots. Despite this, I still try to keep the hope alive and watch new releases of horror films. In this case I stumbled across The possession …
Forever Strong
There used to be a time when I loved sports movies like Remember the Titans or We Are Marshall but then I came to realize they are all the same; they use some sport to teach kids confidence and give a quick lesson about life.
I had hoped the movie …

Rosemary’s Baby movie
Over the past few years, I have been getting more and more into the horror movie genre. When I was younger, I stayed away from it. I didn’t like to get scared. As I’ve gotten older, however, I have realized that horror movies, when they are well done, can …

Cocoon
I don’t know why I like this 1985 movie so much. I can still remember watching it for the first time when it had come out; it is a comedy that involves some aliens, and compared with today’s technology, I guess you might say it is nothing special. Most …
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015 Film)
2015 was a historic year for me. Simply because it was the time when I took filmmaking by heart. So many good movies were released last year, so many that I was spoiled by the scarcity of quality films this year.
Last year at this exact point, Mad Max: Fury Road …
The Last Airbender (2010) movie
I went and saw this with my girlfriend and her two sisters since they were all die hard viewers of the show as kids and have been excited about this movie since they laid eyes on the previews. So I had to say at first I was caught up …
To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar movie

Hydra movie
The first time I had heard of the movie “Hydra” was when I had seen it advertising on the cable television channel SyFy. Even then, I could clearly see that it was going to be one of SyFy’s usual B-rated creature horror films, and when I had decided to …
Evan Almighty
This is a really fun movie. Players are Steve Carell, Morgan Freeman, Lauren Graham and some others. Steve Carell is as funny as he can be. Morgan Freeman show up occasionally, not a very big role. Lauren Graham is cute. It is a story …
Stranger Than Fiction
The movie Stranger Than Fiction had an awesome trailor at the movie theater and seemed so diffrent from most any other movie I had seen. So I rented it on demand yesterday. It was a huge disappointment! The movie is very slow paced and nothing exciting really happens it …

Grindhouse: Planet Terror
My wife and I were once again in the mood for a good zombie flick so I ended up picking out Grindhouse: Planet Terror, in an effort to find a more modern movie that might put a different spin on things.
It was an OK movie but not the best …

Fried Green Tomatoes (starring Kathy Bates)

This is one of my favorite animated movies. I love to watch this movie with my younger sister. It’s a great movie for the whole family and enjoyable to watch. It kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. There were plenty of parts that made me really …
The Parent Trap - Film 1961
The first time I ever watched this movie I did so rather tongue-in-cheek - simply because my mother had recommended it and my mother and I do not have the same taste in movies! So to say that I was pleasantly surprised is a bit of an understatement.
The story …
Return From Witch Mountain
Sequels, especially Disney sequels, rarely make it, and this one is no exception. Even casting greats like Bette Davis and Christopher Lee was not enough to make this film anything but blaise. This was one story that should have remained untold, leaving Escape To Witch Mountain to stand on …
The Running Man (1987 film)
I forgot how cheestastic this movie was. It’s an 80’s Schwarzeneggar film, so it’s not all that surprising, but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it.
Ahnuld plays Ben Richards, a soldier who is framed for mass murder after defying orders to fire on innocent civilians. He’s forced …
His Private Secretary movie
John Wayne takes second billing in this 1933 motion picture called His Private Secretary. He’s not even a cowboy. Of course, Wayne often played other roles, but he’s at his best when he’s a man with a horse. In this modern day film of its era, …
