Elle (2016 Foreign Film)
I am actually surprised at my film choices this year. I am now definitely heading to the real “film buff” road. Last night I choose to watch yet another foreign film that premiered this year called “Elle”. I wouldn’t have dared to watch this film had been there no buzz …
Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who (2008)
Let me first say that our last name is HORTON, so this movie is definitely a treat, especially for the kids. They love the fact their last name is in a movie. It’s a treat for us adults who love Jim Carrey AND Steve Carell, who were both in …
Three Wishes DVD
Firmly locked in as one of my top ten Patrick Swayze movies, Three Wishes is a magical delight. It has a great cast with Swayze, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Joseph Mazzello, and Seth Mumy. With the recent death of Swayze, I wanted to watch one of his movies …
No Country for Old Men movie
It took me a while to realize how much I really love this movie. The story is very dark. The burnt amber tones in the film provide a sick feeling throughout the production. The killer, played by Javier Bardem was one of the most …
The Butterfly Effect 2 (2006)
Supposedly, this is a sequel to “Butterfly Effect” with Ashton Kutcher; in reality, it is more of an attempt to remake BE-1, for whatever reason. Kutcher isn’t there, in fact there is no connection with the previous story / characters. There are no blackouts, either. A totally different guy …
Beauty and the Beast-film
I am going to review a disney film based on a book called beauty and the beast.It was made in 1991 and I consider it one of disney’s best films.The movie is essentially about a beast who used to be a young prince.One day, an old woman went to …
Dancing At The Blue Iguana movie
Dancing At The Blue Iguana is not going to win any Oscars, but it is still a good movie. Dancing At The Blue Iguana focuses on the lives of four dancers. These dancers are not your ordinary ballet stars, they are topless dancers. The Blue Iguana is not your …

My daughter, who is four, has discovered Scooby Doo and absolutely loves the show and movies.

Stargate SG-1 - Brief Candle
The “Brief Candle” episode of Stargate SG-1 is an okay episode. I watch it alot, but it’s not a huge favorite. There are things I love about it, and there are aspects that keep it from being a stellar show.
The opening scene is wonderful. Richard Dean …
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! movie
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! is a movie I recall seeing back when it was released originally in 1971. It starred Bill Bixby as playboy businessman, Johnny Gaines. Bixby did a fine job here, but it was interesting to me when I re-watched it recently that he looked tired …
“Glen Or Glenda” (1953 Film)
Glen Or Glenda- a movie known to film critics, enthusiasts, and just about everybody else who’s seen it as the worst film ever made. It was the infamous Edward D. Wood Jr’s first “feature” film, as well as his first and only starring role in one of his films …

“Jane Eyre” with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke
I have seen several movies based on this classic by Charlotte Bronte, and this 1983 version starring Zelah Clarke as Jane and Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester is, in my opinion, by far the best. The plot is very true to the book, and the two leading actors were …

One of the most expensive Bollywood movies ever. I am not a very big fan of indian films, but perhaps that is because I didn’t see that many yet, I’m not sure. Devdas is about a man who returns to India after a long exile abroad, falls in love …
Ex Machina - Science Fiction Thriller Movie (2015)
Ex Machina is by far the best movie I’ve watched in 2015. I’ve watched it twice in theaters because I just couldn’t get over how amazing it was. (Some spoilers below)
The story is about a young man named Caleb Smith who works for Bluebook, a popular search engine, almost like …
The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005 movie)
Just by the title’s name you can already summize what the movie is about, so I need not get into the dirty details of this movie, and believe me, it is dirty. This is one of the movies that give men a bad name, but other than that, it …

Pirates 3: At World’s End

Palookaville movie

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is an amazing fantasy movie Starring Brad Pitt and directed by David Fincher. In the movie something happens for one newly born child and time passes in the reverse direction for him. Brad Pitt takes birth as like he is some 90 years …
Vice, Movie
Is Pseudoscience Fiction a genre? I’m not entirely sure what kind of film Vice was trying to be, but apparently it didn’t try very hard. This Westworld inspired thriller presents us with some fairly heavyweight themes and then fails to make any kind of attempt at tackling them.
A rather weak …

Star Trek (2009, J.J. Abrams)
First off let me get one thing quite clear: I’m not a Trekkie. I AM a self-confessed sci-fi geek but have just never been into Star Trek.
I like the borg, an inspired concept. The Enterprise looks cool. Scotty was amusing and Spock was Spocky. But that’s about it. I …
The Longest Day movie
The Longest Day has always been an amazing recounting of D-Day, the sixth of June. It’s probably my favorite of all of the World War II movies that I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a ton over the decades. The stellar cast of The Longest Day goes a …
Yentl film
Yentl is one of my favorite Barbra Streisand films. Maybe it’s because she put her soul into this movie, making it a tribute for her own father in real life. It’s a story about heritage and the right to study religion as a female in the Jewish …
Fast and Furious 4 (2009)
One of the most disappointing movies of the year, Fast and Furious 4 was a flat, uninteresting film. I was dismayed that even the actors came out flat here. It came off like a bad “made for TV” low budget movie. There are no twists or events …

Shoot ‘Em Up is the latest action flick starring Clive Owen and the beautiful Monica Bellucci. This movie is pure cinematic entertainment; if you’re looking for a complex plot or a realistic action flick, this is not it. Instead, Shoot ‘Em Up delivers over-the-top gun battles and fights that …
