I feel like a child again, caught in a world of fantasy and make-belief; and everything will turn out all right if I behave myself and try harder.
The starting music sets the pace it is catchy and rocking. I feel affection and compassion for Mumble, the …

From 1974, Where Have All the People Gone is a movie I’ve remembered well from its original airing on television. Back in the day, this was actually one of those movies that showed up late night all the time. Peter Graves stars as Steven Anders, the father …

Just Friends film
Typically, when you try to turn a love story into a comedy, it turns out to be funny. But, in the case of Just Friends, it’s just pathetic.
Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brander, an formerly overweight high school student who, 10 years later tries to win the love of his …
Exam (movie)
After watching the movie Exam last night, I can’t help thinking that it was one of the best psychological thrillers that I watched in a long while. This was despite the barely above average rating that it had received on its IMDB page. I think that the rating was …

Bewitched (2005)
Almost to be filed under the category of guilty pleasure is the 2005 movie “Bewitched” featuring Nicole Kidman, except that it wasn’t that much of a pleasure. I grew up watching the television show starring Elizabeth Montgomery and was curious about how the film version might be. Typically I …

Jackass 3 Unrated, Blu-ray Comedy film
For the third part in the Jackass movie series, Johnny Knoxville and his crew are ready to be stupid in 3D. Ah yes, 3D, the current crazy that doesn’t seem to be dying anytime soon. But that is fine with me because 3D gave us a new Jackass movie …
I Love You, Man movie
I didn’t have high hopes for this movie. It looked cheesy, stooping for cheap laughs with fart and masturbation jokes. However, I was surprised to find it rather amusing; definitely not in my top fifty, but certainly decent and watchable.
The fart joke surprised me. I hate humor based on …
Dead Like Me: Send in the Clown
There is a brilliant spot in Dead Like Me: Send in the Clown. It’s actually a parody of the TV drama, Hill Street Blues. I recognized what was happening almost immediately. It surrounded Roxy (Jasmine Guy), who is a meter maid on the show. She …

Che: Part One, starring Benicio Del Toro
I had read a few reviews of the movie “Che” starring Benicio Del Toro, and most of them complained that it was too long at over 4 hours, and that it dragged on and was not interesting enough to hold the viewers’ attention for that long. The other night I …

Mystery Science Theater 3000, movie (1995)
Influential films and programmes come in all shapes and sizes, ones that inspire you to go out and make videos yourself. I find there are three categories of influential media: first are the ones that you’re told changed how the media industry works, like —˜Citizen Kane’ or —˜Birth or …

World War Z, movie
I wasn’t expecting a lot from this film. And I have to say that this film met my every expectation of it being a predictable and humorless blockbuster. Zombies chomped their teeth when you expected them to, cars crashed when you expected them to, and Brad Pitt played the …
Elfen Lied
Considered by many to be the most cruel anime ever made, Elfen Lied contains some of the most disturbing violence ever animated. That said it is also one of the truly beautiful and powerful pieces of art and story that I have ever seen.
Based on the manga by Lynn …
The Break-Up (movie)
As much as I like Jennifer Aniston, I did not at all enjoy The Break-Up. I had read a bad review before seeing it in the theater, and I didn’t want to see it. The reason I did end up seeing it was that the movie I …
Shrek the 3rd
When I heard they were coming out with a third Shrek movie, my gut reaction was the producers were going too far and there was no way they could strike gold a third time. That�s why I avoided seeing it in the theater.
This past week, when it came out …
The Object of My Affection
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Object of My Affection” and the movie released in 2000 “The Next Best Thing”. Both of these movies tackle the issue of gay people involved in bringing up children and, unfortunately both of them, are not impressive movies.
What was lacking …
Friday
I think Friday is a great movie. The movie stars Ice Cube and he does a great job of acting in this movie. I really like the fact that this movie shows us how life in the hood really is. I think the movie was very well written and well …

Movie : Haeckel’s Tale

Mortal Kombat (2010)
The first time I saw this video, I honestly thought it was a fluke, a trick video. Then I recognized Michael Jay White, from Spawn. That’s when it hit me that this was a real video. From what I’ve read, it’s not an upcoming trailer or anything like it. …
Knocked Up The Movie
I was fortunate enough to be able to see this movie in the theatres and I loved it. I don’t agree with the message it sends to its viewers but I found it funny and entertaining just the same. And here’s why you should watch Knocked Up.
Knocked …

Project X movie
When I saw Matthew Broderick as the leading actor, I naturally assumed the movie Project X would be a comedy. I was wrong. However, as far as dramas are concerned, I have to say this is one of the better movies I’ve seen.
Playing an airman that has a personality …

All About Steve
I enjoy Sandra Bullock movies, because they are generally lighthearted, feel-good romps which also teach a lesson, however cliché, about human nature and kindness. Although she has recently begun to choose roles a little more serious and substantial than her usual romantic comedies, I knew All About Steve would …
