The Secret (R, 2006) movie
You will probably recognize her as Juno’s hyper teenage BFF. But Olivia Thirlby proves otherwise in this 2006 thriller called “The Secret.” The DVD cover art may throw you off. You may think that this is some seedy Lolita movie in which the teen wraps …

Movie The Hangover
The Hangover was definitely a guy’s comedy. Telling the story of the morning after a friend’s bachelor party, where the 3 groomsmen wake up with no memory of the previous evening, a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in the closet, this movie definitely appeals to the …
The Parent Trap,1998 movie
This is a remake of the original, 1961 “The Parent Trap”. Unlike many remakes, it is actually good. Two girls meet at a summer camp: Hallie Parker from California and Annie James from London. To their utter amazement, they look like twins. Neither one knew she had a twin …

American Gangster is a movie that I went to this last weekend and I spent $22 for me and my girlfriend to see this over hyped movie and I was very dissapointed in it. The movie stars Denzel and so I thought it would be good but I found …
Superman Vs Doomsday
Coming from Old School Superman, I could never really get into Superman and Lois Lane as an item. I can appreciate its inevitability � I mean, after all, they’ve been working together almost seventy years. But if television is any indicator, romances typically mean the death knell to a …

The New Adventures of Old Christine stars Julia Louise Dreyfus. With an excellent supporting cast of nobodies, Dreyfus creates a very funny series and shows why she was an intricate star in Seinfeld.

Death at the Funeral Movie
I didn’t know funeral’s can be funny. It speaks of lamentation and grievance of a loss of a loved one but in Death at the Funeral, it was the otherwise. It is funny but not rude and stupid. It is pure raw fun. The movie does starts …
Space Camp
If you read the description on the back of the box, the movie Space Camp probably will sound like something so far fetched it isn’t worth watching. But, resist that desire to put it back on the shelf and rent it anyway.
Of all the 80s science fiction films to …
Star Trek 2009 movie
Here’s the deal. I am a devout lover of the original Star Trek TV series. I loved the movies that followed. Then I enjoyed most of the series spin offs that followed; not all, but most. Then in 2009, along came this new Star Trek, …

My Faraway Bride
I’m not usually interested in seeing romance movies or even reading romance books since I generally find them boring and unrealistic. However, when I saw the movie “My Faraway Bride” advertise, just the plot of it alone made me interested in watching it. I’m not even sure if the …

The Bourne Supremacy
Very rarely do sequels surpass there predecessors. There are some exceptions, Terminator 2, 28 Weeks Later, etc. I thought very highly of The Bourne Identity and believe that Supremacy surpasses it on every level. I was very nervous when I heard they weren’t bringing back the …
Elizabethtown the movie
Orlando Bloom may be a great character actor and eye candy for women every where but, as a leading actor, he leaves a lot to be desired.
The movie Elizabethtown had great intentions and could have been a great love story. But, in my opinion, it fell flat. Kirsten Dunst …
Battle Creek Brawl (1980) movie
Watching this movie was a fairly new and interesting experience for me, since I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Jackie Chan movie like it, and I also used to like Jackie Chan movies. Yes, it was still one of Jackie Chan’s martial arts comedies, but I don’t usually …
Film: Dead Silence
Not having seen any film from the Saw franchise, and just liking the way the commercials looked, I watched Dead Silence with a little wary hesitation. I’d wanted to see if from those ads, thinking that it looked creepy, and hey dolls usually are in the right circumstances, but …

The Incredibles is everything that has come to be expected from a Pixar animated movie and is great fun for the entire family. A new take on the story of a superhero and his super family was a welcome breather. While other movie studios have been and continue to …

The Carson City Kid movie

Rogers played a man masquerading …
