Sleepless in Seatle (movie)
One of my favorite movies starred Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle. My son owns a copy of this movie and every time that it comes on TV I find myself surfing channels and settling on this delightful movie.
Tom Hanks plays this widower with …
“Hot Tub Time Machine” (2010) Film
The Movie is called “Hot Tub Time Machine” that title alone tells you what type of movie it is. No one would name an Oscar contender something so stupid. This is a movie whose producers are aware that it is a comedy and it is a …
E.T., The Extraterrestrial
Disney proved that boy-and-his-dog movies were always popular, as did Lassie. But could boy-and-his-alien work the same way? I believe only if told by the right person. Steven Spielberg was that right person. Continuing in his aliens-are-our-friends vein, he brought us E.T., The Extraterrestrial. This was on of only …

Night of the Demons (2009 movie)
I guess the majority of me figured that based on the rather silly title of this movie, as well as the description that I had read about it on the electronic cable guide, the movie “Night of the Demons” wasn’t going to be very good. However, I ended up …
