Have you ever watched a movie that for the life of you you just can’t manage to sit through the whole thing, for every time it comes and you decide your mind that this time you are going to make the effort to sit down and watch it right …

Everyone already knows that fast food is bad for you. When it comes to movies, Supersize Me covered that quite thoroughly. But what if that hamburger wasn’t just packed with calories, but also possibly contained something far worse? That’s the premise, on the surface at least, of Fast Food …

Passengers is a 2016 film by Sony that stars Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. Depending on the preview I saw before it was released, it either came across as a sci-fi adventure or a love story that happened to be set in space. My wife and I recently saw the …

When I went to the theater to watch this movie, I thought I almost knew what I was going to see, but to my pleasant surprise, I was wrong. What I really witnessed was far better than I I had expected.
What they give us is the movie unlike its …

“What Just Happened” is what I like to call a sleeper film. Much like fantasy football there are sleeper picks which are people that perform much better then thought. This film is the definition of that. “What Just Happened” didn’t have much promotion, actually I …

I was watching the film Planet of the Apes on TV the other day and have to say, considering when the movie was made, it is still one of the better science fiction tales you will come across.
There are two reasons I feel this way. One is the make …

Stories or movies from Old California are dear to my heart, being raised in Southern California through my childhood. I think that if a double-feature were in order, this movie should be coupled with The Three Amigos. The comedy is similar.
The comedic strength in this movie stems from brilliant …

I hadn’t been to the movie theater in a long time since the big screen seems dominated by typical hollywood trash. But Michael Jackson’s This Is It was truly an exception because it’s an original movie that stands out in a culture full of one cheesy remake after …

One of my favorite movies when I was younger was Jawbreaker. This movie shows a typical mean-girls’ group who went to great lengths to play a prank on their good friend. This came out in 1999 when I was still in college, so watching this with girlfriends was …

My wife loaded the movie Candy Man on our Netflix player about a month ago because she remembered watching it as a kid and she wanted me to watch it with her. We ended up waiting until the kids were in bed this past weekend to watch it because …

An extraordinary film about repentance and God’s wisdom in the mind of men given by the power of belief.The film is Russian and every part of the film is equally fascinating.It involves so many religious and moral subjects and controversies that any cult and educated person would stumble and …

Rhythm in the Clouds from 1937 just did nothing for me in spite of the fact that on the surface it had a story that might normally intrigue me. To be honest, I am not certain why that lure did not happen.
Rhythm in the Clouds starred Patricia Ellis …

I bought Best of Raw vol.1 on VHS a couple years ago. And I have to say this is a great video. It shows you the early days of WWF RAW. And yes this takes it back to the days when it was WWF and not WWE. I really like …

Awesome, spectacular and breathtaking…a wonderful piece of animation and a dark human twist. From the start of this film it shows off its use of excellent animation of the demon boar. The artwork in this film is killer. Words cannot explain the sheer brilliance taken in the creation of …

I saw the movie Knowing last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after Raising Arizona. The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …

The series which this movie is based on is undeniably one of my all-time favorites since I was a kid. Now that Michael Bay together with Steven Spielberg made Transformers into an extraordinarily amazing movie, my interest in Sci-Fi movies has broadened into such great fascination that I became …

One of my favorite cartoon movies from Disney is The Little Mermaid and when I heard that it has a part 2, I’m one of those who lined up in theaters just to watch it.
Little Mermaid 2 is another adventurous tale of our favorite mermaid, Ariel, but this …

Yesterday was the fourth time I’ve registered for Netflix. I’ve been a member before but have cancelled my membership three times thinking we would be cutting back on our movie watching. And, once again, we found we are better off with the service.
The thing I like about Netflix is …

Filmmaking is a medium that should transcend people into experiences rare in reality. Magic is one way to describe this art. The images are meticulously planned that the frames almost look surreal and incalculably rich and Andrea Arnold knows this secret so she magisterially created a piece of cinema that …

The Fair Haired Child, directed by William Malone, is an entertaining entry into the Masters of Horror series. I love this series of hour long films from Showtime and wish it hadn’t gone off the air. I love how it took the spirit of old eighties shows …

We watched a movie the other night with Nicholas Gage in it. Although I like Nicholas Cage as an actor this was not one of his better movies.
I did not like the defeative attitude of the chaacchter that he played. He was a weatherman who …

Hanging up is a very normal movie which has nothing unique about it. The only saving grace of the movie is Meg Ryan’s impeccable performance. She single handedly did everything and the whole movie rests on her shoulders and she did a great job in doing that job perfectly. …

When the movie The Ant Bully first came out on DVD, I kind of resisted watching it because I didn’t think it was going to be any good. However, my daughter recently had a family movie night at her school (which was actually a seminar about bullying but they …

I’ve seen this movie just this year when I bought this DVD. My friends advised me to watch the movie because it seemed that they were totally hooked and amazed to the story. Frankly, I am not a vampire fan and this is the first time that I watched …

I rented “The Lovely Bones” thinking it would be more of a supernatural thriller, but what I found it to be was a very heartwarming story of acceptance and grief. A young girl is murdered, but caught in the in-between of life and death, searching for meaning and to …

In Sylveter Stallone’s urban fairy-tale, the hero does not yearn for fame or to even win. His sights are set on the realistic goal of just surviving and not humiliating himself in the process. It is an allegory for life and also one of the most romantic films ever …

A parody of both Star Wars and Cops. On the desert planet of Tatooine, a team of stormtroopers is having a tough time keeping up law and order. It doesn’t sound like a great idea and it certainly doesn’t look like it either. Parodies tend to exaggerate too much …

Captain America . Thor. Iron Man . Hulk. These are characters that I grew up with and whose films I had fun with and I have always looked forward to. What happens when all these characters fall into one and the same mixture? A true epic! Marvel’s production “The …

A typical day out for a family (Mother, Father and Son) when something terrible happens. The characters are Mother-Rene Russo as Kate Mullen, Father-Mel Gibson as Tom Mullen and Son-Brawley Nolte as Sean Mullen. Sean is kidnapped for he is the son of a rish man and is used …

Two years after Sandra Dee captured the world as the girl midget known as Gidget, the character was back in Gidget Goes Hawaiian. Now honestly, this one is probably my favorite. There’s something about the storyline that I really loved. I don’t know if technically it’s …

Witness for the Prosecution is absolutely wonderful. The plot takes so many unexpected twists and turns that it keeps the viewers head spinning. In fact, by the time you get to the end, it’s like — wow! Incredibly, at the end of this film, the producer …

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, though seemingly interesting, was a boring movie and a chick flick all the way. Why am I so blunt? Because the movie did not have any conflict, except some strange man versus nature conflict - in that he was growing older by growing …

King adaptations are hit or miss. You have classics like “The Shining” or “Misery” and you have stinkers like “The Sleepwalkers” or “Tommyknockers”. There are also movies that fall between and all across the cinematic quality spectrum.
“The Dead Zone” is one of the better ones. David …

This DVD release unfortunately is no better than the season set DVD releases for the show. There are no special features or bonus extras. All that’s on this DVD is eight episodes from the second season of the show. I had hoped when renting this DVD that because there …

One Missed Call is a complete waste of time and I’m not saying that because I was disappointed or because I didn’t like one actor, but because this movie was absolutely horrible. The sad thing is that I was really excited to see this movie and had been for …

The sequel to the classic masterpiece 2001 - A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. Nine years later an american-soviet space ship is sent to Jupiter to try and figure out what really happened to the old space ship Discovery over there. This is not really a sequel to the …

The Postman has got to rank as one of the better movies I have watched in the 90’s. I have read a lot of articles stating negative reviews but I guess we’re all entitled to our own opinion so I still suggest you give this movie a shot. It …

Final Destination 3 is one crazy movie. It seems so real and really makes you think about things you do in everyday life. This movie is the sequel to the 1 and 2nd final destination. All three movies are about someone having a vision before a major crash …

Pinocchio holds a special place for me. When I was a young boy, my stepfather and I had a �quiet� relationship. One of the motivations to get my sisters and I to do our chores was a reward. That reward was we got to pick between eating out or …

A Smokey Mountain Christmas is a movie from the 80s that stars Dolly Parton. It is just a cute, feel good Christmas movie. It kind of has a Snow White and the seven dwarves feel to it. Dolly stars as a popular country singer who wants to get away …

With all of the X-Men films that have been produced for mutant lovers everywhere, another movie revolving around these super human characters caught me as a little of overkill. However, I was proved very wrong after having seen the 2009 X-Men film, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine’. Not only was this …

I want to preface this review by saying that this is one of my favorite movies because it embraces what it is. It is an action movie that focuses primarily on the action. This is the type of movie that you watch solely for entertainment value. It is not …

I saw this movie at the theatre today as my brother said it was really cool and great; the movie was only 1 hour and 40 minutes but somehow I felt it was longer. This movie features Alice (Milla Jovovich) going to Japan to finally confront and destroy Umbrella …

I am watching this movie on satellite television as I write this review. For what it is this is not a bad movie. Robin Williams stars in RV, a family movie about a man who takes his family on a road trip in a rented RV. I normally do not …

A swedish documentary that focuses on a lot of things. Mainly it is a film about the human injustice of the world as it looks today, but it is also very philosophical and makes the viewer think about life as a whole. However, it isn’t what the film is …
