The Hiding Place Movie
I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.

A Little Princess,1986
This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …
Baise Moi (movie)

2001 Space Idiocies
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 …
Primeval
A movie by Orlando Jones, Gideon Emery, Dominic Purcell, Brooke Langton and Jurgen Prochnow.
To me, a disppointing movie. I was really looking forward to seeing the 20 feet man-eating crocodile in full fledge actions, like what I saw with Anacondas or Lake Placid. It was not to be.
The story …
Eagle Eye
I’m usually not a big fan of movies that play the whole 1984 card and focus on “Big Brother.” And, I’ll be the first to admit the idea of a computer independently controlling people’s lives is something out of the 80s (think the movie War Games)and still a bit …
Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs

Diary Of A Mad Black Woman movie (2005)

License to Wed
I didn’t know that License to Wed is a fun movie to watch. Unfortunately, I caught it on DVD rather than from the cinema itself, but it’s better than nothing.

Butterfly Effect (2004)
First of all, if you are not familiar with a certain classic story, you will be left wondering what on earth “Butterfly Effect” means and what butterflies have to do with the plot of this movie. I happen to have heard of that story, although I do not remember …

Simpsons Movie
When the Simpsons started on television, I thought it was the best show ever. But, over the past few years, the episodes seemed forced and less and less original.
So, when the Simpsons Movie came out, I had my doubts. I’m glad to say I was wrong.
I skipped seeing this …
Intimate Agony movie
When Intimate Agony aired originally back in 1983, it was quite the controversial film. It received a lot of attention at the time, not just for the subject matter, but for the primary stars. The two were the daytime divas of the day, Anthony Geary and Judith …
Donnie Darko (Movie)
I have been told that I am the last person on earth not to have seen Donnie Darko yet, even though it is a very old movie. I just didn’t get around to it, even though I have most of the movie’s soundtrack on my iPod. The other night, …

The Town (2010 thriller movie)

The Jackal movie
The interesting thing about the movie “The Jackal” is that you end up liking both Richard Gere and Bruce Willis. Even though Willis interprets an evil character in this movie, you can’t help liking him for his great acting skills. I must also say that Gere has been equally …

Graduation Day
I don’t remember much about 1981 (I would have only been about 6) but, if the movie Graduation Day is any indication, I don’t think it was a year where there were a lot of good movies.
The film advertises itself as a thriller but it was more of a …
The Happening Movie
A movie I never heard of and have never even seen in posters was downloaded by my brother to a DVD copy. It was supposed to be a thriller mystery movie, but it kind of left me wondering about the movie more than being able to understand it. The …
Bone Sickness, Horror film
I might have gotten to the point in my life where zombie movies just don’t excite me anymore. Take this one, Bone Sickness, a zombie movie that might have been shot with a betamax camcorder. I have no beef with low budget movies but Bone Sickness really doesn’t do …
