If anyone ever wants to know why I oppose a fourth Indiana Jones film, they should watch the movie Firewall.

I didn’t find this film uplifting or refreshing in any certain way. Mostly it’s just a copy …

Joe Frazier was a tough fighter: He is responsible for taking out Muhammad Ali.
Frazier at first liked Ali—”even placed him on a pedestal of sorts. Later he loathed Ali—”wishing to devastate him. Suffice it to say, Ali has a preserved reputation where Frazier’s reputation …

I’ve been hearing about the movie “We Need to Talk about Kevin” for some months now, and despite watching the trailer and feeling like I had to watch it, I never actually got a chance to until very recently. The result of this was that I was very impressed …

I always enjoyed The Sons of Katie Elder, primarily because it has such a strange but intriguing cast. The story is about, appropriately, the four sons of a woman named Katie Elder. The four are reunited when Katie dies. They quickly learn a lot more about …

The Last Man on Earth is an old black and white movie based on the Richard Matheson short story “I Am Legend” as is the Will Smith movie by the same name. Seeing the movies together is a completely odd experience because both are completely different. In this movie …

Its safe to say that vampires aren’t what they used to be. The dark forces of evil that they are in books, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula and films like The Lost Boys, have been brushed aside for more romanticized versions in True Blood and Twilight. Fortunately, there …

I have reached that age where a lot of the movies I thought were fantastic when I was younger kids today haven’t even heard of. STRIPES, a 1981 Columbia Pictures release staring Bill Murray, is one of those. If you haven’t seen it, you most definitely should.
This …

Being filmed in 1984, “Dreamscape” may be a little dated when it comes to special effects, but it is still a good movie. Alex Gardner, played by Dennis Quaid, is a gifted psychic. He is invited to participate in a government funded sleep research at the special clinic that …

Hot Rod is surprisingly hilarious! I thought this would be a dull humor flick, but I found myself laughing through 90% of the movie. Its a comedy about a 20 something year old guy living with his mom and stepdad aspiring to be a stunt man. …

The 2009 film “The Knowing” starring Nicholas Cage and Rose Byrne, did not in any way, do Nicholas Cage any justice. For his talents, and the other movies he has so wonderfully acted in, this film was a real flop. The plot was a little suspenseful, I’ll give it …

I normally like movies Anthony Hopkins has a role in. Unfortunately, the movie Proof didn’t have enough of him to make it any good.
Hopkins plays a former math genius who is battling senility but the movie centers around his daughter (Gwenneth Paltrow) who has to cope with not only …

“Cocktail” helped the actor Tom Cruise to become more famous in Hollywood; however I don’t believe that this is his best film from his initial stages. If I had to chose between “Cocktail”, “Top Gun” and “Risky Business”, I prefer to watch “Top Gun” and putting “Cocktail” the least movie …

The movie MASH is a classic and has only been outdone by the television series that spun off from it. It’s one of the best war movies ever made.
The movie has just the right amount of comedy and drama to be enjoyable to everyone who watches it, both young …

I watched the movie Kung Fu Dunk on DVD last week. My dad is an avid collector of DVDs and has practically all the movies in the past 3 years. Among all the new movies that my dad had just purchased, my boyfriend chose to watch this one. …

“Hostel”, “FearDotCom”, “The Ring”—If you’ve seen any of the following movies, then you will be more than prepared for this tale of psycho-twisted horrific suspense. At the helm of this mini-gore feast is Diane Lane, claiming the role of a slightly wizened FBI agent. She’s …

The Fifth Element, starring Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich, is a fun and interesting action film that never fails to get my attention when it’s on T.V. While I can’t say its my favorite movie and probably not even in my top twenty for science fiction films, there …

I found this film really enjoyable, and a tearjerker too.
And in my humble opinion, a much better romantic comedy than a lot of Stiller’s recent outings - e.g. Along Came Polly, Meet the Fockers etc.
Ben Stiller and Ed Norton play a Rabbi and a Priest respectively. They are …

Sin City (2005) is an action movie by Robert Rodriguez and is rated R for sustained strong stylized violence, nudity and sexual content including dialogue.

Of all the Jodie Foster films I have seen recently, this one was the most interesting—¦ but quite a departure from the kinds of films I’ve seen her in. The Brave One features Jodie in the lead role as a fiancée whose lover is killed in Central …

Does Will Smith ever make a bad movie? Other than Ali, I mean. I watched his movie Hancock tonight and, when I got it I didn’t think it was going to be any good. It turned out to be a great film.
The movie takes a different point of view …

This is a very innovative gangster movie from director Seijun Suzuki. Leading actor Tetsuya Watari does a brilliant job as the hero of the movie, dressed in a blue (!) suit, “Phoenix Tetsu”. Everything is beautifully shot in color, and the action sequences are excellent for a 1960s movie. …

In 1978, there was a movie produced called Dominique. Unlike the bouncing tune made famous in The Singing Nun, this Dominique is deadly serious. In fact, it’s essentially a murder mystery.
Everything in this piece is very slow and deliberate. As a viewer, it’s easy to draw …

If you think there is always a second chance in life, you may reconsider your optimism after watching this movie. I definitely did. Second chance seems to be a privilege granted not to every society, and losing the right to it before even turning eighteen seems to be unjustified …

I have seen this movie last night and even though I didn’t want to watch it because I’m not fond of alien-predator fighting scenes and the only alien-predator movie that I liked is Alien versus Predators, and not humans versus aliens and predators, I had just watched this since …

I’m a fan of both Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, so I had some interest in seeing them together in Music and Lyrics. But, I didn’t know I’d enjoy the movie so much. Grant plays Alex, a has been pop star and Barrymore is Sophie, an aspiring …

To begin with, this film may have the best theme song of a Bond movie ever, and that doesn’t say a little. I think Timothy Dalton gives another convincing performance here, but yet he only received harsh criticism for this. I know what the problem is, and Dalton’s got …
