Milk movie
I recently saw the movie Milk with Sean Penn. He is a really good actor and played this part perfectly. I wasn’t familiar with the real Harvey Milk, but I felt like I was after watching Penn’s portrayal.
Harvey Milk was the first openly gay councilmen to be elected …

I actually heard about the novel before I saw the movie some years ago since the novel was one of a number of books by the author Tom Clancy in my aunt’s bookcase. I can’t remember watching the movie Patriot Games when I did not have cable televisoion; but …
Stargate movie

Thunderbirds (2004)
The movie adaptation of a regular and popular television series. The difference between the movie and the series is that instead of using the puppets from the TV, they have replaced them with live actors to do their worst. I didn’t stutter, they really did their worst in this …
The Sound Of Music movie

American Psycho (2000 movie)
“American Psycho” was one of those films that everyone else had seen except for me, but that I still didn’t intend to watch. The theme, the cult movie status and the lead actor, Christian Bale, didn’t appeal to me.
What made me change my mind was starting to read …
Rogue movie
Shoot me now for not having the heart to stand up and leave this movie when I had the chance. I kept saying I just needed to see the monster rogue before I gave up on it, but the director was smart enough to only show the entire thing …

Sherlock Holmes’ Terror By Night

I am reviewing The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1985/1986. This episode sees Watson on a very much needed holiday, while Holmes stays behind in Baker Street. Even far away, however, …
Career Girl movie
Frances Langford had the starring role in a 1944 musical called Career Girl. Her character’s name was Joan Terry, an aspiring singer, which meant, of course, that the movie was full of songs sung by Langford.
What makes Career Girl a bit difficult to watch are a few …

Dracula: Dead and Loving it
I’m a huge fan of Mel Brooks movies, so when I got a chance to see the film “Dracula Dead and Loving it” again, I had to take it.

Dr. Strangelove (1964 Classic Film)
Quite frankly, I have no intention to watch other Stanley Kubrick (otherwise known as the greatest American filmmaker ever) films after being disappointed by 2001: A Space Odyssey. I watched that film after the release of Nolan’s Interstellar two years ago and I never got the correlation among the two. …
Movie The Dark Knight
Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is a marvelous piece of film making that is sure to make the viewer forget about gas prices or mortgage payments for at least 150 minutes. And with the film grossing over $150M in its first weekend, how bad is the economy anyway? …

God of thunder (that’s the only thing that I could remember though), in the movie he also …
Medea’s Family Reunion
Should I be annoyed? I really don’t know. Why do we as women allow our decisions, especially when it comes to love and marriage to be clouded by perception? The perception of friends, relatives and society, as to what is ideal and what is ‘necessary’?
In Tyler Perry’s …

Back to the Future (1985 movie)
There are only two words that best describe this movie: science fiction classic!! When the film first came out in 1985, I was just a kid. It had a few curse words in it, but to a kid, that was considered cool–correction: totally cool (it was …

Walk Don’t Run movie
One of the movies I always enjoy watching is Cary Grant’s last film, Walk Don’t Run, from 1966. Grant was such a wonderful talent. I really regret that he felt like his fans wouldn’t want to see him as a non-romantic lead in a movie. I …

Ocean’s Thirteen was one of the most anticipated “threequels” this year. Among a myriad of third instalments, it was one of those that were expected to improve on their predecessors and it delivers well.

My Bill movie
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.
