Side Effects (movie)
Side Effects was one of those movies that I didn’t watch because of how if was apparently received by quite a number of people. It didn’t even get a great rating on it’s IMDB page and so I just left it or ignored it till I eventually forgot about it. …
Everybody Wants Some!! (2016 Film)
In my quest to find a better than your average film, I stumbled upon Everybody Wants Some!! in a somewhat forced manner. This was the first time I actually watched a film where the subject matter was something I’m not fond about. By the looks of it, the film was …

One of those movies that I had always heard people talking about but I never got to watch was “Driving Miss Daisy”, and so of course I always knew I had to see it whenever I had the chance to. I didn’t actually know what it was supposed to …

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (PG13, 2009)
I only rented this movie because I wanted to see a really intriguing suspense film with Michael Douglas. He tends to be in films that have lots of steamy action and great cinematic tension. This film was about a D.A. who was running for office. …
Step Brothers movie
Step Brothers is one of my favorite movies of all time and it is jam packed full of funny one liners. It is about two 40 year old men who still live at home with their parents and they are just like big children. Will Farrel’s character, Brennan Huff’s …

Ice Age is a different movie set in the time of the Ice Age. It is definitely not for those who aren’t into animated films, since it follows the animated scheme a lot. It is a simple and entertaining story with some great scenes and it works. It isn’t …
Postal, comedy action film
Uwe Boll does not have the best track record when it comes to movie making. Boll’s reign of terror started with House of the Dead, his first video game movie that made people notice this German native. Things have been constantly going downhill but that is about to change …
Little Shop Of Horrors
‘Feed me, Seymour!’ cries the hungry, man eating plant in Little Shop of Horrors. I love that line! That line is one of my favorite lines from a movie. Now I am not talking about the Little Shop of Horrors version made in the 1980s, I am talking about …
2001 Space Idiocies
2001 Space Idiocies is the 4th episode of the 1st season of Tripping the Rift and is to me the highlight of the show’s first season. As the title gives away there is a lot of riffing off of the movie 2001: A Space Oddyssey.
This episode succeeds in …

Comedian Dave Chappelle performs his stand up routine in his hometown of Washington D.C. Most people know Chappelle from his popular television show called “Chappelle’s Show.” This DVD is an one full hour of pure gold. His stand up routine is the funniest that I have ever seen.
His stand …
The Duff - Teen Movie (2015)
‘The Duff’ is a teen comedy that took me by surprise. I expected the movie to be terrible as most teen comedies are repetitive. This movie wasn’t unique but it took the usual storyline and made it wonderful.
The story is about a teen named Bianca who isn’t exactly what many …
Alvin and The Chipmunks
Everyone who was born in the 80’s cant not know the chipmunks. These 3 cute fellows who made it big in our televisions. I loved them as a kid and watched every show. Now that they made a movie of it, entitled Alvin and the Chipmunks, i was sure …
Fracture
Anthony Hopkins has played so many villains, I think I have lost count. Here he appears as one again, intelligent, scheming, cold-blooded - just the way you like him. The movie “Fracture” (released in 2007) drew me in from the start, and from the start I knew it was …
Lucky You movie
“Lucky You” is a great movie about poker. I feel that, although this is a good film, it may lack appreciation from the general public due to the fact that it is too focused on poker and how a poker player can be so insensitive to the environment and …

Movie: Kung Fu Panda
“Kung Fu Panda” is a 2008 animated film about Po, a fat noodle-selling Panda in China who loves kung fu and dreams of a more exciting life. It is a Dreamworks film, which means it has some decent animation but falls far short of a Pixar movie.
Pros: …

Nacho Libre with Jack Black.
As a fan of Mexican Lucha Libre, or professional wrestling as it could be called, I thoroughly enjoyed this film about this national past time. It appears to be a comedy farce film, but it is too accurate in its …

The Hunger Games (Movie)

Sigma Die, Comedy Horror film by Michael A. Hoffman
Oh God, a horror movie that is trying to get the T&A in your face right away is always a bad sign in my book. Sigma Die is a real bad modern aged horror flick that adds blood, T&A, and a zero plot—¦oh wait a serial killer killing college …
Movie : Couple’s Resort

It’s A Wonderful Life - Film 1947
For me, It’s A Wonderful Life has three big no-no’s, firstly my mother loves films like this, secondly it is basically a romance and lastly it’s very old fashioned and in black and white —“ but really I should not hold that against it! It’s a collectors edition …
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (Spy Comedy Movie)
Before I was able to watch the 2015 movie The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I admit that I didn’t have much of an idea what it was going to be about. The only thing I knew about it was that it was supposed to be based on a spy series that …

Into The Woods - The Movie
Last night when I went to watch “Into the Woods”, I was excited with expectations of watching a splendid musical. Although it includes scenes of great quality, I felt it lacks the strength to be called an exceptional movie. It’s a good musical, but the evolution of the characters …
Sex and the City: The Movie
I love, love, love this movie! This was the perfect transformation of the hit television show into a big screen production. If you loved the series, you will love the movie. If you’ve only seen the show a couple of times, the movie will inspire you …
The Shining
Steven King’s The Shining is probably the most horrifying movie ever made. I just love this film. The Shining scares me till this day. And I get freaked out by it every time I see it. This is a movie that has scared people for years.

Movie Help Me Help You
Help Me Help You with Ted Danson.
I never thought very highly of Ted Danson’s acting on TV, but he has shown me a more effective portrayal in this series. I think that the difference is the similarity to his Cheers days in which he …

When I first saw the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” advertise I wanted to see it badly since even though it was not the type of movie which I am generally interested in, I thought that since it had a lot of children in it it might just end …
