The Odd Couple II
Sequels are often just the worst things under the sun, often taking the original characters to ruin. There are few that really are true to the story, that follow it through and make it all believable. Sometimes you still enjoy the original better, but even so, you …
Premonition
OK, I’ll admit it, when I rented the movie Premonition, I didn’t think it was going to be anything special. I mean, it looked creepy enough, but most movies do in the previews and then suck.
But, after watching it, I’ll admit it; I was definitely a little bit spooked …
Wolfman Movie
This movie is set in the year 1891 in London, and it features Emily Blunt as the estranged fiance of Benicio Del Toro’s brother; Emily asks for help from Benicio as his brother and her fiance is missing, and together also with the help of the gentlemen, who is …
Army Of Darkness
This has got to be one of those must-have horror film classics that anyone who likes horror films must have. And even though I am not a horror fan, per se, I absolutely adore this movie for its cheekiness, its absolutely far-fetched antics, and of course for its main star, …
Silence of the Lambs Movie
This stunning movie is already considered a classic. Garnering five 1991 Academy Awards, it comes to no surprise that many of us still find it spellbinding.
Clarice Starling is training to be a FBI agent. When a psychopath is murdering women, Starling (Jodie Foster) was sent to interview a prisoner, …
Avatar 3D
Avatar 3D is in my opinion one of the best science-fiction movies ever made. With stunning graphical detail, excellent actors and a well-thought-out plot, Avatar 3D should definitely win its share of awards and collect millions at the box office.
The “avatars” in the movie, blue creatures with …
The Believer Movie (2001)
I have been thinking about watching The Believer movie for many years now. I have been attracted to this movie by the shocking DVD cover and poster for the movie. But every single time I took it off the shelf in the video store I felt very strong doubt …
Hollow Man
There’s something I don’t understand about this movie. Not with the story and plot but on how the character has of the young scientist Sebastian Caine (played by Kevin Bacon) has changed from a nice guy in the beginning of the movie into a cold blooded killer of …
Due South: They Eat Horses, Don’t They?
Due South: They Eat Horses, Don’t They? has a couple of issues at its core. One is a woman whose children have been taken from her. Benton, our favorite Mountie, has promised to help her. The other is a woman (Teri Polo) who is trying to save …
Alice in Wonderland (2010 movie)
I expected, because it has Johnny Depp and was directed by Tim Burton, for Alice in Wonderland to be a good movie. I wasn’t disappointed. It was a good movie, and definitely worth watching. The acting was seamless, every character interesting and exaggerated in true Alice in Wonderland style. …
Grease movie
I watched the movie “Grease” with my daughter this afternoon on DVD.
“Grease” is pretty much a classic musical which stars Olivia Newton John as Sandy and John Travolta as Danny Zuko. This movie was made in 1977. This movie is based on the play but I do think the …
Thunderball
How many James Bond movies are there now? Like five hundred, six hundred, seven thousand and seventy two? I know there are a whole lot, and probably a whole lot more to come. I admit, I haven’t seen very many James Bond movies. Some of the ones I have …
Ninjas Vs. Vampires, movie (2011)
Endlight Entertainment’s Ninjas Vs. Vampires is not a movie that is meant to be watched alone. Don’t take that statement as this is the scariest movie ever made, although it does have a few jumps and some decent blood-spilling. This is a movie where you have some …
The Passion of the Christ
The Passion of the Christ made me cry buckets of tears. I’m a devout Catholic but only after seeing this movie did I truly come to realize God’s love for us (He gave his only son to save us from our sins). Directed by Mel Gibson, this controversial and …
Knocked Up
Knocked Up is an honest, down-to-earth movie about a one-night stand gone terribly wrong. From its title, you can sense the bluntness that is also throughout the film. The dialogue it truly funny and easy to associate with because it feels like stuff your friends would really say in …
In the Name of the Father film
‘In the Name of the Father’ is a 1993 film directed by Jim Sheridan based on a true story.

The classic 1967 American film with the story that is controversial still to this day. Ben (played by Dustin Hoffman) is the typical American youth, and we begin with him returning home from college for the summer. Unsure with the direction that his life should take after school, he …
Go movie
I didn’t hear about the movie “Go” until some time ago when I was still in high school. At first I thought it was just going to be a silly movie so I didn;t watch it at the time, but about a year and a half later I was …
Send Me No Flowers movie
Rock Hudson teamed up with DorisDay for Send Me No Flowers, which was a smash hit in 1964. The couple are married in this film outing, playing George and Judy. The problem is that dear old George is a devout hypochondriac. If there’s a disease out …
Devil in a Blue Dress
I had seen the movie “Devil in a Blue Dress” being shown on a few cable television movie channels for years, but never watched it at the time since I just didn’t think that I would have any interest in the movie. However, recently since I have begun to …
Captain Planet cartoon
“Captain Planet” was a cartoon which would be aired sometimes on weekday afternoons when I was still a child. I did not necessarily love the show, but I appreciated it a little since it was better than watching the children’s show “Sesame Street” which I had outgrown before I …

I am reviewing The Empty House, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The REturn of Sherlock HOlmes, which was produced in 1984 by Granada television. This episode starts with Watson grieving over the loss of his dear friend now some three years ago. Sherlock Holmes returns in …
Alice in Wonderland Movie (2010)
Alice in Wonderland was my favorite cartoon movie before, and I would always dream and wished I was Alice so I could eat the cookies and drink the potion that would make me smaller or bigger than my average size. I wanted to be Alice when I was a …
Tina Fey (actress, producer)
I have way more respect for actress Tina Fey since I started watching episodes of ‘30 Rock’ on DVD. I caught one episode when it first came on the air. But for some reason, I never followed up on the program. When Tina Fey …
Liberty Heights movie
I tend to like a lot of films, especially drama films which have a historical setting. These films do not necessarily have to be based on a factual story either, and they do not have to be set in the far history like medieval times. This is what attracted …
The Cat From Outer Space
There were a few Disney gems from the 70s. This was one of them. The thing that made Disney be able to survive the 70s was a slew of charming, live action ventures. Near the top, but not quite there, was this little diddy about…well, about a cat from …
The Ghost and the Darkness (1996)
The Ghost and the Darkness, directed by Stephen Hopkins is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for some violence and gore involving animal attacks. The original rlease date for this movie was October 11, 1996 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of …
Notting Hill,1999 movie
Notting Hill tells a rather unlikely yet pleasant love story of Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) a movie star and William Thacker (Hugh Grant), a modest guy who works in a bookstore. I enjoyed this movie. Grand is very likeable as the good-hearted, honest William. Julia Roberts does a good …
They Movie
While this is not an excellent horror movie, it can stand on it’s own two feet. The best time to watch this movie or any horror movie in fact is in the nighttime…all by yourself, no one else around to distract you and take away from the terror it …
Ted (2012 movie)
Ted is one of the best movies that I’ve seen this year. It’s funny, the writing is great, and the actors are extremely witty. Believe me when I say it is not what you will expect, because it wasn’t what I expected to see. Seth Macfarlane shines all the …
The Witness
I saw a 1985 movie this afternoon that I had not seen in years. It starred Harrison Ford and it was called the Witness
This story involves a young Amish woman, who has recently become widowed and her young son. After her husbands death, her fatherinlaw tells her to go …

Transformers2 - “The Return Of The Falllen”
The recent worldwide release of Transformers2 - “The Return Of The Fallen” has resulted in a Transformers craze being instigated.
Within several short weeks of its release, it has already been regarded as “The Best Movie Of The Year Of 2009″ by many critics. So, just what contributes to the …
Stargate
Since the dawn of movie making, there have always been a few actors that take weird, off the wall, ecentric roles instead of traditional leading men or leading lady roles. Such is true with current Boston Legal actor, James Spader. He appeared in a great 1994 film called Stargate …
Michael Jackson’s This Is It 2009 Movie
If you love Michael Jackson’s music, singing and dancing, you will love —˜This Is It’ as he is clearly on top form, despite the fact that this was only filmed last year - in 2009! Due to the fact that he only sang a few lines of —˜We …
Boys and Girls - (starring Freddie Prinze Jr.)
Any movies with Freddie Prinze Jr. in it, I love it. Totally! I’m so into him pretty much and in this movie story, he is the main hero like totally. I love his performance and acting pretty much and the way he loves a woman, it is …
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Royal Tenenbaums is my favorite of all Wes Anderson’s movies, and, alongside several other films, is one of my favorites overall. The script, written by Both Anderson and frequent collaborator (and star) Owen Wilson (and nominated for an Academy Award), is, in my opinion, one of the finest …
The man with the movie camera movie
Dziga Vertov’s documentary-like film from the 1920s has been acclaimed as one of the greatest masterpieces of all time, and I can do nothing but agree to that. Vertov’s uses his camera in such imaginary ways, showing the people of Moscow through every possible angle and style. He wanted …
RV, movie
A big brown turd is the name for the vehicle driven by Robin Williams in this want to be family comedy, and the title would do just as well to describe how I feel about the comedic gestures in this film as a whole. There may be a lot …
The Heartbreak Kid
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 …
There Will Be Blood, epic drama film
Directed and written by Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood is one of my favorite films of all times. The movie comes in two formats for the DVD, the single disc and the two disc special edition. Both offer the film in its entirety, but the one is …
Rhapsody in August movie
One of the master Kurosawa’s last films, which he completed in a time when he perhaps was a little to aged to perform at his best. Still I really like this tragic story about an old woman who takes care of her grandchildren when their parents travel abroad for …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a romantic comedy with an almost universal appeal, simply because it is, at it’s heart, a great movie. The plot isn’t meant to appeal solely to women, or even towards men, as one would expect from a Judd Apatow Production. Instead, it is a movie …
Last Vegas (2013 Film)
Last Vegas is a comedy film I was eager to see after viewing the trailer for it one evening. I wasn’t hesitant in watching it due to all the veteran actors that would be starring in the film. I just knew that a film with Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, …
Gidget movie
Gidget is one of my all-time favorite movies. It’s a beach movie, a light comedy about growing up and falling in love. It’s simple, and that’s why it works. The acting is good, and it’s just an upbeat, let’s have a good time watching it movie.
Sandra …
The Dead Zone
The Dead Zone was a very spooky and great movie. I thought this film had is all and was a movie that really messed with your mind. Christopher Walken did a great job of acting in this movie! Even though the movie is quite old it is a great film …
Movie Thunderball
Thunderball with Sean Connery and Claudine Auger.
This is one of the earlier James Bond sequels and therefore features the super handsome Sean Connery in the lead. It does lack some of the refined touched that we came to enjoy in the newer sequels such as …
