I’m actually old enough to remember Roddy Piper in his prime as a pro wrestler and when he left the industry to pursue a movie career. As the movie They Live proves, he should have stuck to wrestling.
Overall, it’s not a terrible movie. Piper plays a homeless man who …

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 …

Before watching the movie “Blood and Chocolate”, I had a completely different interpretation of what we call werewolves or “lycanthropes” were. I had always thought they were crude, scary and disgusting looking creatures since that was how I have always seen them portrayed in movies. Never once had I …

There is something about the presence of John Cusack in a teen comedy that elevates it to something quite fresh. Not that it works all the time, but a good exampe of it in effect is in Rob Reiner’s The Sure Thing.
Perfectly cast as Gibb, Cusack makes his character, …

I bought a copy of this movie because the cover catch my attention. I thought that it was not that good since at the start of the film it was more about stealing and being greedy, yet while I was watching it, I became more eager to finish the …

I finally got a chance to relax about 9 last night, after putting both kids to bed and feeding the cat. Since my wife (who somehow manages to get out of helping me at night) was already in bed, I figured I would try to find a movie or …

It is always nice for me to remind myself of the classical English works, especially those who have a slight horror twist. But even better is for the reader, such as myself, to see everything on the screen where the images from the book come to life , and …

When I saw the movie “Boogie Nights” on the television guide, I used to think that it was probably a movie from the nineteen seventies starring the American actor John Travolta. However, recently I realised that I was actually confusing the movie with another movie named Saturday Night Fever …

Stephen King movies are usually hit or miss. Some are great, others are kind of dumb.
The Mist falls into the former more than the latter. But, it still is flawed.
The great thing about The Mist is the fact you really never know what is going on until the very …

There are not many mother-daughter stories anymore, and that is why I really love watching Gilmore Girls. This is The Complete First Season, and I have watch re-runs of it so many times, both on TV cable and on DVD.
There is just too much good acting, wonderful characters, …

I have seen a lot of scary movies in my life but I have to say that 1408 was very possibly the scariest. There are few movies I can think of, certainly made recently, that have so effectively scared the willies out of me. I was actually …

Drive marked the successful collaboration between director Nicolas Winding Refn and actor Ryan Gosling. It was hailed as one of the best films of 2011. When I heard that the pair were working together again, I was very intrigued by what they could create together next. …

First of all, let me say that White Noise, the first one—was total garbage. I really tried to get into it. But when the first images /sounds were displayed, I knew the film was going to be corny. They cast Michael Keaton in the lead. …

The first time I was aware of the movie “Things We Lost in the FIre” was I think in the year 2008 when it finally premiered on a cable television movie channel. I found myself having the urge to watch the movie since it had an independent movie feel …

This quirky little movie stars one of my favorite actresses, Natasha Gregson Wagner. There is something insipid and coy about the roles she tends to play. And her stuffy, rebellious role of “Violet” in this movie is no different. This film is sort of a cat …

Last night I was able to walk down to the local movie theatre and view “The New World.” This was a film I was pretty excited about to see because it was rarely released to local theatres, plus Christian Bale was in it.
Well, I don’t drink alcohol, but …

Sometimes I watch a movie and love it so much that I just keep watching it over and over and over and over again. That’s the case with How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. When I put this DVD in the player, it tends to stay …

This movie follows the life and stories of Nemo Nobody, played by Jared Leto. The visuals and story telling in this movie is some of the best I have ever seen, not to mention the music used at many points in the film fit perfectly with the scenes they are …

Honestly, I just find Nathaniel Parker cute that’s why I finished this movie and wishing I had been Marsha Thomason just to snatch that role. Yes, this is a funny movie but I was wondering why Walt Disney Pictures, or anyone else who has been part of making …

Last night I just this movie, ‘Kaw’. actually, I don’t like kind of movie like this, but last night, there’s no such a good program in television, so I watched it while I still online and chat with my friends.
This movie is about killer ravens bird that attach to …

This movie was entertaining but that is about it. If you are bored one night and enjoy movies like this then I would recommend it. This movie isn’t for everyone though. Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon play in it. Josh Hartnett plays Matt Sullivan who decides to vow to …

Every one wants more money; especially when the economy is the way it is. That’s why I think the movie Mad Money turned out to be a much better film than I expected it to be; it was very easy to relate to.
The film is about three women (and …

I’ll admit it, the only reason I bought the movie The Pit is the fact it was filmed in my home town of Beaver Dam, WI and I wanted to see how much of the town I recognized. And, to be honest, if it weren’t for the fact I …

The Phantom is a movie that stands out in my mind as one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. Sadly though my memories never actually live up to the real movie. Every few years I re-watch the movie, and every time I end up feeling a …

When I saw Amelie, I was really really excited to know that there would be another film featuring Audrey Tautou, a brilliant impish actress. Happenstance is very similar to Amelie in that it deals with coincidence, and the complications/ ramifications following. The entire story in Happenstance centers …

Silk is one of those shows that I watch and I get goosebumps. It feels like the man in the story is suffering and that he has to suffer just because of a passion. Perhaps if this happens in my community, we would think that the woman has …

I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …
