Opera movie
Dario Argento’s film begins in the most magnificent way I have ever seen. With a constantly moving camera Argento reveals certain images that fills me with excitement and suspense. It seems to go on and on, just until the camera stops, and somebody gets brutally murdered. This murder could …
DIE.COM
This is not for children to view. This movie, DIE.COM is for the adult who is able to view a plot that is about living and dying, with the plot set into a mystery that keeps your attention right up there. This is not a gory movie, although, blood …
Sliders Third Season DVD
Before I go into the show itself featured on this DVD collection, I have to say something about the packaging. The packaging for the first and second seasons DVD collection of Sliders was nothing to write home about, but at least it was serviceable. Sliders Third Season …

Ghostrider
I watched “Ghostrider” with my nephew this afternoon. I had really hoped it would live up to the hype, unfortunately I didn’t think it did.
In the first place I don’t think Nicholas Cage fit the part very well, or at least his voice didn’t and I felt he …
Children of men
I didn’t really care for this movie. Half of the movie was kind of interesting and the other half was boring. I especially didn’t like the ending of it. I think that it could have been made a lot better, the acting could have been better, and the ending …
Save the Last Dance movie
Save the Last Dance is about a teenager, Sara (Julia Stiles) and the new life she is forced to embark on after her mother passes away in a car accident. She goes to live with the father she barely knows in a rough area in Chicago; her school is …
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army, is a great summertime “popcorn” movie bursting at the seams with nonstop action and bizare, creative characters.
Ron Perlman was better in this sequel than he was in the original movie. Perlman brings a real level of humanity …
Les Miserables movie (1998)
One of my favourite CLaire Danes movies is the movie “Les Miserables” which was released in the year nineteen ninety eight even though I have read a number of bad reviews about it from other people. I also saw the actress UMa Thurman in the movie and actor Geoffrey …
The Skeleton Key
“The Skeleton Key” was the first movie that was not a romance comedy which I had the pleasure of seeing Kate Hudson in. I hate romance comedies, and so seeing her in another movie which was not a romance comedy, especially a horror movie, was very refreshing to me. …
Inglorious Basterds
“Let me give you something you wont be able to take off.” A memorable quote from the movie Inglorious basterds. A group of american soldiers named the inglorious basterds who are notorious for killing mass numbers of nazis in brutal ways, sets out to kill hitler once and for …
“Funny games” movie
Shocking, but very real movie - saturated with brutality so well known to us from many other images. This time, however, it is presented in a unique way. The director wanted not only to make another movie like his predecessors, but also realize some important things to us …
Idyllic …
Shell Game movie
There have been a few projects out of Hollywood by the title of Shell Game. This particular one is a movie that starred John Davidson and aired in 1975. The program was actually a pilot that didn’t sell.
Davidson had all the requirements for this character of Max …
G.I. Joe Movie
I recently went to see the new action film, G.I. Joe; Rise of the Cobra. I walked into the movie theater, excited to watch the movie. When I first saw the preview a weeks back, I thought for sure that I would love it. I sat down with my …
11:14 movie
11:14 is a rather odd and unusual movie. It tells the story in reverse time. It’s not a flashback as we’re used to seeing it, but it literally shows the end result of the action first, then goes back to the next segment before, and then the …
Black Christmas, movie (1974)
Slasher movies based on holidays are so commonplace that they have become cliched. Thankskilling, April Fool’s Day, Halloween, Leprechaun, Uncle Sam, and My Bloody Valentine are some of the big examples. All we need are movies for Yom Kippur and Colombus Day. Heck, some can make …
The Reaping film
Through this movie, Hilary Swank has reminded audiences once again, that she is one of Hollywood’s greatest Heavy-Hitters. Her acting skills were brilliant. Maybe this is why some of the other cast members appeared as though they needed to step it up a notch? “Who is that blonde little …
Charlton Heston
I always enjoyed watching Charlton Heston perform in movies. Several of his movies are among those I enjoy with regularity. Lucy Gallant and The Ten Commandments are probably my two most favorite of Heston’s films.
Heston was an outspoken man. He was especially vocal about his belief …

Movie : Rumour Has It
Starring: Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo
I keep waiting for Jennifer Anniston to wow me and star in a movie where she doesn’t act in the exact same way as her character from “Friends”, Rachel Green. “Rumour Has It” is not the movie to change my perception …
“A Christmas Carol” (2009 film)
There have many versions of the beloved film, “A Christmas Carol” produced and viewed throughout the world. Perhaps one of the most wonderfully entertaining movies of this section that I have seen was the 2009 “A Christmas Carol” movie with Jim Carrey. This movie shied away from his usual …
Movie Chicago
I admit to being surprised at the caliber of the musical performances of Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renée Zellweger, and Richard Gere and it made for a stunning production of Chicago, but at the same time, I honestly believe that the theater production I saw of it in Los Angeles …
Chloe Movie (2010)
I could not imagine Amanda Seyfried to star as a provocative and sexy role as Chloe. When I read about Chloe and how it was released in limited number of theaters, I was curious to see how she would pull it off.
Chloe is a film that stars Julienne …
Movie Great Expectations
Great Expectations starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke is an average movie with some boring moments. Pip used to go to the house of an old woman everyday and he is a painter and artist from his childhood. Oneday he sees a small girl who is of his age …
He’s Just Not That Into You Movie
I had read the book a few years back, and I honestly never thought they would ever make a movie about it since it was literally just a bunch of letters that people had written to ask questions about their relationships. So, when I heard that the movie for …
The Ghost and the Darkness movie
When I saw the Ghost and the Darkness on sale at the store I had to buy it for my collection. This is one of the most suspense filled movies I’ve ever seen and definitely one that will make you think.
I think this is one of Val Kilmer’s and …
Exam movie
This is a review of an older film, called Exam , modest, but not necessarily weak. A British film that I watched with pleasure.
Exam tells the story of eight talented candidates who are facing the last task that they need to complete to be admitted as employees of a …
Vacancy, Nimród Antal Movie
While heading the design credit for ‘Vacancy’, director Nimród Antal debut in the United States, it will remind Thriller classic Alfred Hitchkock in 1960, ‘Psycho’. Moreover, with music accompanied by a score likewise, the plus location with the ‘incident’ by remote motel run by men psychopathic, it would certainly …
Frozen 2013 Animation (Movie)
After my cousin told me that an animation movie titled “Frozen” is leading the box-office. I knew this movie had some great odds of getting on top of my best animation movies list with “Tangled”. Tangled was released in 2010 with a great funny, hooking story and heart conquering …
Life as House
The very first time I saw the actor Hayden Christensen was in the movie “Life as House” where he portrayed a disturbed and out of control teen named Sam. I watched the movie a total of five times after that as I fell in love with everything from …

Beneath the Planet of the Apes
The original Planet of the Apes was a unique movie that was both entertaining and made you think. The sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, was still entertaining but definitely not as good as the original movie was.
I thought the whole story line about a race of mutant …

This movie is another recreation of King Author and the knight of the round table story that has been told and retold over the years and given a modern twist at different stages in its lifespan. This version’s scenario has a futuristic look, feel and appeal unlike the previous …
Bedtime Stories
I’ll admit it: I wasn’t too excited about taking my kids to see Bedtime Stories (starring Adam Sandler, Courtney Cox, Kerri Russell).
They received a gift card for the local movie theater from an aunt as a Christmas present and they were itching to make the trek to our local …
Devil in a Blue Dress movie
A thriller in an 1940s environment where Denzel Washington plays a freelancing detective with a constant bad luck.
An interesting film stylistically as it recreates the moods of old noir films in color. Compared to LA Confidential, which is similar too this one but in black and white, Devil in …
Movie Money Train
I just watched Money Train yesterday and oh my God, that movie is awesome! Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez really deliver a humorous, dramatic and action packed sense of their characters. This movie kind of reminds me of Four Brothers in the sense that Snipes and Harrelsons …
Venom Feature Film (2005)
I love horror movies but this one was a real dud. The horror parts were fine, the blood and gore looked believable and the death scenes were realistic and well acted. My main problem with this film is it lacked suspense and it was boring. Normally …
The movie Turner and Hootch
What adult does not remember Turner and Hootch. Although I am not necessarily a Tom Hanks fan, I really enjoyed this movie. It was so cute to me becuase it did a great job of teachong about overcoming difficulties and the curve balls that life throws at you.
Hootch was …

Road to Singapore movie
The funny to me as I begin to write this review is that was just a few days ago that I was thinking how long it had been since I’d seen any of the Road pictures. Lo and behold, TCM decides to air five of the seven Road …
The Phantom (1996)
The Phantom is a live action movie made from the pages of the comic strip that used to and still comes in to papers. While the cartoon version was a bit more successful than the comic strip to appeal to the viewers, more particularly the children, the movie failed …

Beowulf
I am so glad that I had the actual time from work and pleasure to see this wonderful movie! I feel that the epic poem has done way more service to America by using computer graphics then by being some live action drivel. I really liked hearing …

What I liked about this movie: I have seen this film dozens of times and it never gets …
A Few Good Men
Another smashing performance from Jack Nicholson, whether he plays a good or bad character, he is always lovable. This courtroom drama is intense. Definitely a thinking persons movie. A drama worth the time and money spent. The staring roles with adequately placed and they pulled off a magnificent performance. …
Ice Age
Ice Age is a different movie set in the time of the Ice Age. It is definitely not for those who aren’t into animated films, since it follows the animated scheme a lot. It is a simple and entertaining story with some great scenes and it works. It isn’t …
