Ray Alexander: A Menu for Murder movie
Ray Alexander: A Menu for Murder was the second movie made with these characters. As a sleuthing private eye concept, it really wasn’t bad. I saw that because like the first movie, I didn’t have the urge to change the channel. It was an okay backdrop …
Baby’s day out movie
It is one of the funniest and cutest movie I ever saw. It is a story about a little child, who hardly can stand up, and how he discovers the city, and how he makes the three men’s life miserable, who kidnapped him. The story starts by showing that …
Sweet Home Alabama (movie)
Everyone has a handful of favorite movies that they can just watch over and over again. Well, this happens to be one of mine.
Sweet Home Alabama, with Patrick Dempsey, Josh Lucas, and Reese Witherspoon, is just one of those movies that makes you feel good. Melanie Carmichael (Reese …
The Lorax
My daughter loves Dr. Seuss books so I recently picked her up a movie based off of one of them “The Lorax.” And, I have to say, despite the fact it was obviously filmed years ago, it was still quite a good movie.
If you haven’t seen the movie or …
Movie Matilda
As a kid, I enjoyed reading Matilda by Roald Dahl, so I also wanted to see the movie. I saw it when it was in the theaters, and I have watched it numerous times since then. The story is about a girl who isn’t being challenged to …
Film”Whip It”

Friday the 13th
My wife and I rented the remake of the movie Friday the 13th and didn’t know what to expect from it. I figured it would be roughly the same as the original but, shortly after starting it, I realized I don’t remember a thing about the original and couldn’t …
Jarhead
Jarhead is rated ‘R’ by the motion picture association of america with good reason.
Jarhead follows a young recruit named Swoff, played by Jake Gyllenhall. The movie first takes you through Swoffs time at bootcamp which is both a little too real and disturbing. Swoff is chosen to become a …
42, movie (2013)
Stories of the underestimated seem to resonate with us as a culture. When we see an underdog overcome great challenges before them, it becomes a story that becomes personal for any individual. Film has presented this archetype since its creation. Rocky, Forrest Gump, and the Mighty …
Twilight
OK, either I’m starting to get really old or the movie Twilight wasn’t anything that lived up to all the hype and the obsession the fans are giving it. I watched it last night and thought it was the longest, most boring vampire film I’ve ever seen. And, believe …
Marie Antoinette (2006)
I always support the movie with female director and that’s why I was attracted to see this movie when the first time I know that Sofia Coppola has a new movie about Marie Antoinette.
As the beginning, I just want you to know that I love the trailer of this …
Girl Happy movie
1965 gave the world another Elvis Presley movie, this time called Girl Happy. It featured, once again, Shelley Fabares. She and the King had a real chemistry going, but I have to say that I hated her hairdo in this flick. She looked really funny with …
30 Days of Night Movie
Yesterday, I bought the movie ‘30 Days of Night’. I had wanted to see it since it came out in the theaters but hadn’t because I wasn’t sure it’d be worth it. So I decided I’d wait until it was out on DVD and buy it.
I like Josh Harnett. …

Death Sentence (2007) Movie
Kevin Bacon stars in this movie with the interesting plot and weary execution. The film begins with a group of people sharing happy family moments. The audience gets to see how the boys grow up. And I suppose the montage seen through film and …
Nanny McPhee
“Nanny McPhee” is a great fantasy movie with a comic touch. This movie shows how great Emma Thompson is, as an actress, and as a script writer.
The story of this movie is about Mr. Cedric Brown, a part excellently interpreted by Colin Firth, who is a widow and has …
Solitary Man starring Michael Douglas
I have always loved the work of Michael Douglas, so when I was given a copy of Solitary Man, I could not wait to sit down to watch it. The movie stars Michael Douglas, along with Dany Devito, and Susan Sarandon.
Michael Douglas plays a man in …

Videodrome
Videodrome with James Woods, Deborah Harry, and Sonja Smits
Since I feel that James Woods is the finest actor around, I just had to watch this movie even though the title was nebulous. Well, I am happy to say that Videodrome is the best science fiction …
Film Watchmen
I saw ‘Watchmen’ at a local IMAX theatre and the film really scores a 100% rating for presentation. It’s slick, glossy and packed with imaginative set pieces and special effects. The story on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. I never read the graphic novel by …
12 Monkeys: movie
12 Monkeys is a strange, mind bender of a movie starring Brad Pitt (as a mental patient) and Bruce Willis (as a time traveler searching for the source of a mysterious plague that wiped out most of the earth’s inhabitants.) James Cole is a convict living in a …
Breakfast in Hollywood movie
Breakfast in Hollywood from 1946 has some very delightful moments in it. Apparently, this was a real radio show that was broadcast in Hollywood with host Tom Breneman, who appears as himself in this motion picture that uses his show as a catalyst for several small sub stories.
The …
Howl’s Moving Castle (anime film)
When I first heard that ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ was to be released on film, I was thrilled. I was a little chagrined, though, to learn that it would be a Japanese anime production.
I was so happy, in the first instance, because I love the book on which the film …
Starred Up (drama movie)
Starred Up was one of those movies that was recommended to me. However, at the time I didn’t pay it much attention because I’ve never heard the movie mentioned anywhere else. I figured it was going to be one of those low budget flops that was more of a waste …
What happens in Vegas
I received this from blockbuster yesterday, I wanted to hurry up and watch it so that I could send it back today. I thought it was a pretty good movie overall. It definitely made me laugh a couple of times. Although it wasn’t hilarious it still made me laugh …
Sombrero movie
It’s been years since I’ve seen Sombrero, and unfortunately, I just found it by accident just before it started so didn’t have time to put on a videotape or I would have. The reason being is that it introduces Rick Jason, who is an actor I always loved …

Countess Dracula
We recently bought the movie Countess Dracula on the budget rack of our local department store. It was one of those movies you could buy really cheap and even have a second feature at the same time. For that reason, we didn’t think it was going to be any …
Jeepers Creepers 2 Movie
If I have said it once, I’ve said it too many times…some movies really don’t need a sequel and Jeepers Creepers is one such movie. Ok, I get the fact that every twenty third spring for twenty three days it gets to eat…but come on, if the creature has …
Goodbye First Love by Mia Hansen-Love (2012 film)
Movies draw on snippets of reality to make us closer to life itself when we watch, to condition our minds to believe. How reality can arise from a movie so clearly that it overwhelms is a rare experience. Very few movies are able to touch on that …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is one of the movies I watched a few hours before New Year’ eve as a way to pass time. The movie stars Adam Sandler who plays the role of Longfellow Deeds, a small town guy who went to New York for the first time to collect …

Marooned movie
Marooned isn’t a big favorite of mine, but there’s something about it that when I start watching it, it’s hard to turn off. I normally love space-age movies, but sometimes they seem a bit off. While that’s the case here, the acting in some cases is so …

Now here is a classic, which some will like and others will not. The movie is Jack and the Beanstalk, a 1952 production that features the comedy team of Abbott and Costello. If you like their humor, you’ll probably enjoy this version of the fairytale classic quite …
Movie Eastern Promises
The best word to discribe the drama movie “Eastern Promises” is shocking. It starts with a huge shock and there is quite some few shocks during the movie too. All in all, it is a truly exceptional movie.
“Eastern Promises” is all about the actor, Viggo Mortensen. I didn’t realise …
Sherlock Holmes’ Terror By Night
When I was younger, I used to watch Sherlock Holmes a lot. I loved these movies, and they were on all the time. Then years passed and I’ve only seen it a few times. Oddly, I don’t seem to enjoy these mysteries as I once did, …
