The 2008 film “Revolutionary Road” reunited the two main characters of “Titanic”, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. I had thought that this film was going to be a rekindle of the flame that I saw in “Titanic” and something that would leave my heart melting. However, I had an …

When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, one of the people I would sneak out of bed late at night to watch was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Edwards). The so-called ‘horror’ films she showed were usually terrible. But, she made things entertaining.
I knew she …

Kingdom of Heaven (2005 film)

The Medallion (2003)

17 Again movie

The Parent Trap (original)
The 1961 movie, The Parent Trap, is one of my very favorite motion pictures. I own the DVD and watch it frequently. It’s family, and it’s fun.
Hayley Mills played a set of twins who had been separated very early on when their parents divorced. The mother …
Catwoman
This movie is kitty litter. The plot is stupid and outrageous, and the only thing you get out of this film is a movie where you laugh at the stupid people who wasted their lives in the filming of this movie. This movie has probably only gotten views by …

The Eclipse
The opinions concerning Michelangelo Antonioni are very divided. Some think he’s the greatest master of cinema ever, while others think he’s too pretentious and never really learned how to make a film properly. Personally I am somewhere between those two. I think his earlier work such as The Cry, …
Tooth & Nail, horror film by Mark Young
How can a cliché post-apocalyptic movie even be considered a horror movie? Did the After Dark Horror Fest standards changed when the second batch of movies were released? Tooth & Nail is by no means a real horror movie, not even familiar faces can save this movie.
A group …

The Odd Couple
Coming from the mind of Neil Simon, 1968’s The Odd Couple was a pure delight. Simon created two opposing characters in Felix Unger, a photographer, and Oscar Madison, a sports writer. Unger was neat to an extreme, while Madison was the king of mess. Having these …
Wanted : Angelina Jolie
The movie wanted is fantastic. It’s got a very nice idea of having assassins with supernatural abilities to be able to focus and see from a different perspective. The story is fast paced and unfolds rapidly before your eyes. It will lead you to believe something but then another …

Hey, I like monster movies as much as the next person. And, it’s rare to find a good mummy movie. So, when I had a chance to watch the film 7 Mummies, I figured I would give it a try.

Insidious Movie
This movie is exactly what the name suggests — Insidious. If you find yourself sorting through new movies and find nothing that deserves any consideration, I would encourage you to give Insidious another look. If you are looking for a star studded cast, Shymalan-esque plot twists, or …

The Manchurian Candidate (1962)
The 1962 movie the “The Manchurian Candidate” is an excellent movie. Filmed in black and whiter, a favorite of mine, the movie lasts for 126 minutes and tells the story of Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey) and Major Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra). The two men were the sergeant and the …

I found Seven Pounds to be very intense and a tad complicated. To be honest I did not know what was going on until probably the last 20 minutes of the movie. I usually like movies with a twist, but Seven pounds unfortunately did not meet my expectations, especially …

The Other Guys (2010)
To be frank, 2010 hasn’t been a great year for comedy. Most of the billed “comedy” movies have been stale and unfunny, and the ones that are occasionally funny are better characterized as dramas. While The Other Guys isn’t a cinematic masterpiece, it is the funniest movie of the …
