I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …

When I first saw the previews for this movie I was not excited at ALL. I thought there was no way this could be a good movie. The animation looked really awkward from what I could tell and I also thought that 3-D went out of style …

Flesh and Bone with Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan, James Caan, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The title picked up my attention, but I guess it was just a trick to get me to watch a boring mundane movie. I suppose it was meant to be flesh and …

The movie Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies of all time because it has a lot to offer. It is a comedy but it does not relay on silly gags or stunts you have seen in other movies. It does have a handful of gags such …

2001 Space Idiocies is the 4th episode of the 1st season of Tripping the Rift and is to me the highlight of the show’s first season. As the title gives away there is a lot of riffing off of the movie 2001: A Space Oddyssey.
This episode succeeds in …

I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …

Phone Booth is a great thriller movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. The intensity in brings is enough to keep you interested right from start to finish.

“Get Smart” was a great show back in 1965 when the first episode aired, although I was too young to actual watch the first episode, I enjoyed many years of reruns. Surprisingly, one of the creators was Mel Brooks, which I think is a naturally funny guy without really …

British dramas aren’t the easiest for me to watch. I’ve tried off and on, but they have their cultural slant that this American reviewer often just doesn’t get. The biggest thing for me is still trying to understand the lingo and sometimes just the spoken words. …

If you are looking for a terrific ensemble film with a great storyline, look no further than the movie “13 Conversations About One Thing”. Honestly, I have not put much thought into the title other than to realize that the stories within are interconnected in a really subtle, …

First, let the record show that I have no idea why this version was unrated. The original 70’s version seemed far more sinister and graphic to me. But I suppose in this day and age, filmmakers had to do something to get people to rent the DVD. …

It is really such a pity because Fighting (starring Channing Tatum) could have been so much better. In more ways than one, it has a special potential for being a great fighting movie but it fails to. Even Channing Tatum’s handsome looks could not make me really happy …
