The Net movie
From 1995, The Net is a suspenseful, very well made drama. It’s identity theft to the nth degree, and it’s scary. Sandra Bullock plays Angela Bennett. She’s somewhat of a recluse, and she’s a computer nerd/geek. She’s a master programmer and hacker, and she knows …
RV (Robin Williams) movie
When RV came out at the theaters, I avoided it like the plague. I like Robin Williams but I have been very disappointed by his comedies in the past.
After seeing it on DVD this past weekend, I was sorry it took me so long to see it.
I was always …
Doom (2005)
One of the most hyped movies of 2005, and starring a big cast with the “Rock” Dwayne Johnson and Karl urban, it was based on the very popular video game: Doom. This movie was too dark and dismal to be enjoyed. It started out well, with a good …

Birdemic Shock and Terror, Blu-ray Romantic Horror film
Birdemic: Shock and Terror had to have been made for cult status purposes. I mean come on why would anyone made a movie with birds that spit acid and shoot lasers—¦or I think they are lasers. The movie has crappy violence, early 90s PC game dialogue, and children who …
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is in my opinion one of the best sea fairing movies ever made. The movie is nearly perfect in every manner. The cinematography is gorgeous and the film making is top notch. Some of the …

Leonardo DiCaprio, though …

The Interview - (2014) Movie
I’m sure everyone has heard of the movie, ‘The Interview’ starring Seth Rogen and James Franco. I’ve seen the movie name in the news many times in the past few months because of North Korea’s displeasure with the movie revolving around the assassination of Kim Jong Un and more …
The Interview, movie
There aren’t many films that generate so much controversy as The Interview has done. Considering its premise it comes as no surprise that it would cause upset within North Korea, whose leader Kim Jong Un is not exactly famed for having a self-deprecating sense of humour.
As is often the …
Transporter 2
What little characterization from the first movie is tossed aside as Frank…whatever his last name was is now in Miami acting as chauffeur for a politician and his family. It’s clearly a temp job, but he does get along well enough with the kid, testing the boy’s intellect …

Faster with Dwyane Johnson( The Rock) movie

Sleepwalkers (1992)

The Winning Team movie
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. As a politician, I never liked Ronald Reagan. I think he acted his way through the presidency. However, as an actor, I really enjoy his performances, including this one as baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander. He’s …
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 …

“The life of David Gale” movie
History of sentenced to death, university lecturer and social activist divides the viewers. The film can be assessed in two ways. The positive side is its message and emotions triggered in the viewer, negative - a lot of shortcomings in terms of direction and screenplay.
Despite the various advantages and …
Fire and Ice The Dragon Chronicle - Scifi movie

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 …
Drive (2011 film)

Oasis of the Zombies (1981)
Starring: Manuel Gelin, France Lomay, Jeff Montgomery, Myriam Landson, Eric Viellard, Caroline Audret, and Henri Lambert.

Why what do we have here? Another Italian zombie horror crap-fest directed by yet another George Romero wannabe named Jesus Franco. I’m not sure which one is more boring, this or …
The Abyss
It’s an oldie but a goodie, in my book. The Abyss, 1989, stars Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Ed Harris as part of a civilian diving team hired by the military to search for a lost submarin carrying nuclear warheads. When the team, both civilian and military, are disconnected from …

Deep Impact (1998)
Deep Impact is, yes, one of those catastrophy-blockbusters dealing with the subject of an asteroid hitting the Earth, and the way humanity tries to deal with it. All in all, it is a mediocre film, but in a way it did catch my attention. I think there’s much more …
Internal Affairs Movie
I expected it to be a good and interesting movie. I like cop stories and I like Andy Garcia. But heck! What an absolutely dragging movie! For a cop movie in Hollywood, there was just too much talking. I could barely keep my eyes open.

A very simple and straight forward movie with an evenly simpler plot that anyone can follow with great ease, this is the story of a trouble making female prisoner and her boy friend who she is trying to use in order to get out of prison and back into …
City Beneath the Sea movie
One of my very favorite made-for-TV movies is called City Beneath the Sea from 1971. It’s not a great movie in the scheme of Emmy winners, but it is a star-studded affair that has drama, romance, and mystery. I love it and find it to be a …
Movie: “The Road to El Dorado” (2000)
