The Man in the Iron Mask Movie (1998)

This movie portrays the true story of the King of France, …

Australia (2008, Baz Luhrmann) movie
Not nearly as bad as it looks from the trailers.
I avoided watching this for ages because the trailers made it look awful - cheesy, bloated, frankly as interesting and featureful as the Outback. It had one of those trailers which seems to give away the plot of the entire …
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I think Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a very cool and creative movie. I also think it’s pretty scary to see how drugs can affect you. I mean I’ve never done hard drugs before and by the looks of what happened in this movie, I never will do …

Hotel Rwanda movie
Depicting the horrible massacre in Rwanda in the 1990s, this film features an excellent Don Cheadle as the man who tries to save as many people from being killed as he can. Unfortunately, the film focuses all to much on the mere sentimental parts, and leaves the audience practically …
Movie The Dark Knight

The Matrix Reloaded movie
I actually thought that The Matrix was a done deal…no sequels involved (boy was i wrong). Reloaded came to stir up more trouble for our guys in shiney leather and dark glasses. What is there to say about this installation of The Matrix saga…other than it’s long, it’s dull, …
Terms Of Endearment (movie)
Terms of Endearment stars two of my favorite actors, Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Debra Winger plays Emma, Shirley MacLaine’s character’s daughter. Shirley MacLaine is Aurora.

Them! (1954)
One of the great things about 1950s monster movies is you can always expect some sort of mutant creature created by radiation.
The movie Them! is definitely a perfect example of movies like that.

I’m not a huge Will Ferrell fan so I kind of figured I wouldn’t like his movie Land of the Lost.

Oscar (1991)

Very rare of me to watch foreign films (films that are not in the English language) so when I do, I always make it sure that I’m going to have a good time with it. Today I choose to watch a 2013 Polish film called “Ida” because first, it won …

Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set
Like its predecessor from the year before, the Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set has a DVD layout that I really despise because of the inconvenience involved in selecting a DVD to watch and also the potential for harm to come to the DVDs.
