There are some comedies out there that will invest in well-known actors and actresses to sell the movie only to wind up being a disappointment when they aren’t talented enough to sell a weak script.
This was the case with the movie Club Paradise.
To be fair, Robin Williams has never …

I find The Shining to be a completely stunning film, partly down to the transfixing performance of Jack Nicholson and partly down to the direction of Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Stephen King’s book of the same name but Kubrick has given the story an ambiguity that …

Upon prompting from a friend, I finally rented “Into the Wild” which was directed by Sean Penn. While I felt the film was meant to induce feelings of empathy for the main character, Christopher McCandless, I could not help but feel more sorrow for this boy’s family as they …

After the 90s came and went and the Batman movie series continued its steady decline at the dismay of true fans, I figured I might as well forget seeing a better Batman than Michael Keaton, a better villain than Jack Nicolson as the Joker, or a better director than …

It bothers me how bad Halloween II is. Rob Zombie took a good thing he had going with his first movie and just decided to messed it all up. At times the movie felt like an action flick with horror elements. Calling this a straight-up horror movie is a …

I recently watched The Family Stone on DVD with my fiance. I was hoping it would be slightly funny and pleasant to watch, and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
With an all-star cast including Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Claire Danes, and Diann Keaton, this movie …

I was flipping channels the other day and came across the movie Glory. I’m not normally a person who watches war movies but this is definitely one of my favorites.
Let’s face it, it’s Matthew Broderick in an actually serious role as a civil war colonel in charge of an …

27 Dresses is one of those cute and fluffy movies that you can watch one and then instantly forget about it. It’s not that the movie is necessarily bad, but it just doesn’t make much of an impression. I’ve seen a lot of romantic comedies over the years and …

I love Sherlock Holmes books and have heard good things about some of the old black & white Sherlock Holmes movies. So, since I was once again up with our youngest daughter last night, I decided to give one of them a try Sherlock Holmes: The Woman in Green.
The …

A Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks joint biopic sounds too good to be true. But it is 2017 now and apparently anything could happen. Back in the beginning of 2016, I greatly waited for this, but when the time it became available in cinemas I told myself to just wait …

Swarmed is essentially a movie about a lot big, bad bugs, specifically wasps. It all starts with an experimental chemical that gets taken from a lab and sprayed on some wasps. It’s not a good thing. The wasps become more intense and people-hungry as the movie …

Howard Hawks directed with great success this 1949 war comedy, I Was a Male War Bride. This is a twist on the war film that hadn’t been done before that I know of, and it was a real winner.
The movie opens with two people meeting and …

was home at lunch today and, since none of my regular shows were on TV, I decided to take the time to watch a movie on the Fox Movie Channel.
I ended up watching the film The Hunters, which was made in 1958 and was supposed to be about a …

The first season of Beast Wars: Transformers is my second favorite season of the three season series. I like the blend of action, comedy, and the story arcs that the writers began to build and develop in this season that would carry over into the following seasons. The DVD …

Dracula: Dead and Loving It with Leslie Nielson, Mel Brooks, Steven Weber, Peter MacNicol, Harvey Korman, and Amy Yasbeck.
Was this supposed to be one of those comedy spoof films or an honest attempt at another version of the Dracula film remakes? I am not sure. …

I watched The Runaways last night not knowing what the story was about. My sister-in-law asked me to watch it and tell her the gist of the story so that she can be included at some of their little chit-chats at the office. She feels a little …

Pauly Shore is Dead is Pauly Shore’s first movie since the lamentable Jury Duty. Meant to be a comedic satire and a lament about the state of Hollywood in destroying Pauly Shore’s career (Shore is unable to accept that it is own lack of talent that is the …

Here we go again, another movie starring basketball players trying to be actors…why don’t they just stick to what the do best, cause acting is not one of them. The enjoyment came from the animated charactes that gave the movie some glimmer of hope, but, not much. The theme …

Ever since the original movie was released in nineteen seventy six, there seems to have been quite a few remakes of the movie “Carrie” as well as one or two spin offs from it. The one that I’ve decided to review though was the one that was released late …

Help Me Help You with Ted Danson.
I never thought very highly of Ted Danson’s acting on TV, but he has shown me a more effective portrayal in this series. I think that the difference is the similarity to his Cheers days in which he …

Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler, Lisa Kudrow, Harry Connick Jnr, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kathy Bates. Rating M Moderate Sexual References and Theme.
I had high hopes when I sat down to watch P.S. I Love You. And I am glad to say that P.S. I Love You delivered. This is …

I have always been a huge fan of vampire movies, but I have to say that Robert Rodriguez’s “From Dusk Till Dawn” is the most bizarre vampire movie I have ever seen. There is a lot of great talent in this movie - including George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette …

Sense and Sensibility, 1995, starring Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson is a very good adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic. When their father dies, the Dashwood family is left with very little means to live on. The house and everything in it is inherited by Mr. Dashwood’s son John from …

I fell in love with Adam Sandler because of this sweet movie. I have always been a Drew Barrymore fan so I appreciated this movie so much. I am indeed a hopeless romantic so I enjoyed this movie so much. I really felt entertained when I watched it. It …

I like the fact that Sandra Bullock in many of her films, usually plays a feisty but vulnerable sort of character, a real fighter, someone we can all relate to. “All About Steve” continues in this time honored tradition, rather like, “Miss Congeniality”. I was pleasantly surprised to find …

The Mist, directed by Frank Darabont, a novel from Stephen King is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars Thomas Jane as David Drayton, Marcia Gay Harden as Mrs. Carmody, Laurie Holden as Amanda Dunfrey Andre Braugher as Brent Norton and William Sadler as Jim …

I have a great time going to the movies with my husband and daughter. We have really been looking forward to WALL-E coming out in the theatres. The trailers for it looked great. We finally got to see it last Saturday. We were really excited. …

In Venice’s lagoon which is far off from the city itself is a quaint fishing hamlet named Chioggia. It is a place where, for a very long period of time, the Fishers of the small village have been involved feeding the metropolitan area’s appetites. It is here …

If you want to see a scary movie, I would recommend renting the film Ghost Ship. My wife and I watched this film some time ago and she still refuses to watch it with me again. She’s not normally a person who gets scared by movies like this but …

Who can forget the wonderful song, 76 Trombones? Not me, and that’s why The Music Man is so memorable. I do love this movie, although I’m not all that hooked on the chemistry of Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. Both are great in their roles, and …

As I mentioned in another review, I had a chance to watch a couple movies yesterday evening (it was raining out and there wasn’t anything good on TV). One of the films I re-watched for the first time in a couple years was the movie What happens in Vegas.
This …

We went to see the movie Flushed Away this past weekend. There were two adults and a 12 year old boy. I went in with the intention of seeing a comedy, not knowing it was more of an adventure movie. It was a nice family film with a few …

Three men and a baby is a very touching movie and it is very heart warming experience that one feels while watching the movie. The movie starts off like a guy movie with three guys and their stints and efforts. These three guys are bachelors and the journey starts …

American Gangster…..a good movie. Unfortunatley thats all it is, and all it ever will be. In the Pantheon of Great Gangster Films, this should have been its most recent entry. Instead it falls into the Pantheon of Films that Need A Little More Work. I was so let down …

This is one timely movie. Global warming is an issue that everybody should be familiar with and something that our world leaders should address. I saw the movie mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal who I think is one talented and good-looking actor. But I was surprised that I actually …

A flight crashes, and its passengers are stuck on a deserted island forced to create a world for themselves on the island where they can survive.

Erin Brockovich is a movie which mainly depicts the secret of women power and how to utilize that to win over the struggle against the general issues of single motherhood in our male dominated society. Julia Roberts as “Erin Brockovich” was simply superb and mind blowing.
Erin Brockovich, a …

Secret Window (2004) is another one of Stephen King’s stories to be made into a movie. The movie is taken from the Stephen King novella (a novella is a work that is longer than a short story but shorter than an actual novel) Secret Window, Secret Garden, which …

My wife dragged me to see this one. I didn’t know what to expect other than few of my favourite actors namely Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen and Alan Rickman. Also it is directed by Tim Burton and I quite like the collaboration between Tim Burton …

The Incredible Hulk Season One was a really cool series and unlike a number of first seasons on other television programs, the Hulk was a GREAT series right out of the staring gate. In fact, some of the first season programs are among the classics of the series. (The …

The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …

I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Death’s Shadow, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles as Detective Sergeant Troy and Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby.
