Talk about overdone, that’s exactly what the film My Bill is. It’s a 1938 motion picture that actually did pretty well. Oddly, it’s a little disturbing to me.

Steven Spielberg was that right person. Continuing in his aliens-are-our-friends vein, he brought us E.T., The Extraterrestrial. This was on of only …

I have always loved the genre of musical films. They tend to be more entertaining in my opinion, offering drama in the form of song and dance in addition to the spoken and visual story that we are presented with. What I like about an early musical …

Disney Channel created a sensation with High School Musical in 2006. It has spawned two sequels, but I hadn’t even seen the original until last night. Of course, I’m not of current high school generation, so I’m not their target audience anyway.

Poor Alan Moore. He created some of the most visionary graphic novels to ever see print and the film adaptations almost always disappoint.

I remember first seeing a preview for Pan’s Labyrinth and thinking to myself, “This movie’s gonna be stupid!” and “It’s a rip-off of Chronicles of Narnia!”. After hearing about how great the movie supposedly was, of course I had to see for myself. Now I can say that this …

This is that movie about Rescue Swimmers from the US Coast Guard. From the previews I had seen earlier, I had expected it to be mostly all action - terrifying action among huge ocean waves. And the movie did start out that way. In fact, the opening scene is …

I didn’t think that there would be a movie that would be able to scare me, but this does not apply if that movie is made by the famous director John Carpenter (”Halloween”). In the case I experienced this on me, after I decided to watch his grim film …
