Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins
After seeing a preview of the new film Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, I quickly assumed this was a ‘wait for dvd’ movie. Thanks to a lack of good movies in February, I decided to take a chance on this film. To my surprise this film was actually …
Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs
Valerie on the Stairs isn’t a very good movie on its own, and when you compare it to the other films in the Masters of Horror series, it looks even worse. That’s fairly sad considering the amount of talent in the movie. The movie centers on a main character …
Due South: Free Willie
Due South: Free Willie reminded me of a series I watched a lot called McCloud. In that show, Dennis Weaver played a United States Marshal from Taos, New Mexico who was temporarily assigned to duty in New York City. He was a fish out of water, but …
Hard Ball (2001)
Hardball is a wonderful film about a gambling man, Conor O’Neill, who throws away all of his money on basketball betting. To make some money to pay of the debts, he must coach a little league baseball team in the Cabrini Green housing project in Chicago. This movie hits …

This is another movie that was taken from a video game of the same name about a detective who is self involved in his work at hunting down to person or people involved in the death of his wife and child. But unlike the video game, this movie falls …
When Harry Met Sally
When Harry Met Sally was one of Meg Ryan’s old movie. I like her so much as an actress that’s why I bought a DVD of this movie. At first I was skeptical if it was a good movie. I was able to watch it so my verdict is …
Movie Death Race
A movie I just finished watching about three minutes before I decided to write a review about, Death Race was quite a well executed watch.
I was excited about what to expect of this movie from the moment I heard the name, and I already had some expectations and predictions …
Haunted Gainsborough
I am reviewing The Case of the Haunted Gainsborough, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Gridiron Gang
I am reviewing the movie, Gridiron Gang, staring Dwane Johnson “The Rock.” This movie is about a probation’s officer who is willing to go up against all odds in order to save lives. It seems that each time a kid rolls in, faces time, and rolls out, …
Movie : Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog
I came across the short movie Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog a couple weeks ago and was intrigued enough to add it to my instant watch queue at Netflix (but not enough to actually rent the movie). I’m glad I did. The film was actually pretty interesting.
This movie, which was …

This second installation in the Superman saga focuses on the accidental release of the Kryptonian criminals from the Phantom Zone imprisonment for trying to establish a dictatorship on the planet Krypton. Their release from the Phantom Zone was caused when Superman threw an elevator into the upper atmosphere that …
Movie Harvey
Harvey is a delightful motion picture from 1950 that stars James Stewart and Harvey, the invisible rabbit. It’s true. The rabbit gets excellent billing in the movie.
Stewart plays Elwood P. Dowd, who is unusually pleasant about absolutely everything. He’s never in a hurry, and he never …
Tammy and the Doctor
Sandra Dee is back again as swamp gal Tammy Tyree in Tammy and the Doctor. Debbie Reynolds began the Tammy trend by falling in love with accident crash victim and bachelor, Peter Brent. By the end of that movie, it looked like Tammy would soon be Mrs. …
By the sea Movie
A neat little British comedy from the early 1980s about a family going on a trip to the sea to spend their holiday there. This trip leads to a lot of confusion and misunderstandings that has a lot of the dry british touch to it impossible to mistake for …
Halloween Resurrection Movie
Halloween Resurrection is what some people consider to be the end of the horror movie series. Technically they are right since it was the last film to feature the serial killer Michael Meyers from that particular series. Since then though we have seen Rob Zombie do his own version …
Passage to Marseille movie
A french journalist is innocently accused of murder and sent to The Devil’s Island. He manages to escape miraculously and returns to Marseille to join a band of rebels there.
Old Humphrey Bogart is excellent as always in this forgotten piece by Michael Curtiz. Incredibly intense and engaging from start …
Die Hard movie
It took me a very long time to watch the movie “Die Hard” since after seeing it advertise on cable television, and hearing people, including of of my friends in particular talk about it, I thought it would be another one of those action movies with lots of action …
Final Destination movie
There are very few thrillers out there that scare me, this is definitely one of them.
The makers of this movie did a great job coming up with an original concept that you just don’t see in Hollywood any more. What could be scarier than knowing Death is out to …
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (1999)
As usual this movie starts off with Harry back at the home of his foster parents and they are still doing their best to make his life as impossible and unhappy as they possibly can. But for every time that they try to do him ill, it always backfired …

The original release date was May 24, 2000 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Thriller and stars Tom …
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives movie
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives is another one of those movies made when Raymond Burr wasn’t able to show up as the Mason character. Instead of just making it a non-Mason flick as I would have preferred, they turned the scripts into mysteries …
Movie: Witless Protection
I loved the first Larry the Cable Guy movie I saw, the one where he is a health inspector. So, I figured I couldn’t go wrong with the movie Witless Protection.
I was wrong.
Basically, this movie stars Larry the Cable Guy as a small town cop who is in charge …
Batman Begins
Batman Begins is the second best comic book movie ever made; surpassed only by its sequel, The Dark Knight. This is a bold statement to make considering how many comic movies that have been made including all the Spider-Mans, Fantastic Four, and the older Batman movies. I …
Movie : Infection
Being a big fan of the Asian horror genre it was only a matter of time before I checked out the film Infection. All the things I love about Asian horror are present and accounted for in this film by Masayuki Ochiai. Like many films of this …

This is the story of a man who, after being dumped by his fiancée, and after weeks of locking himself in his house without coming out for fresh air, wrote a book on ‘How to’ as it relates to ‘breaking up’ while he was in his highly depressed state …
Blockbuster Online
As far as advertisements go, I am perhaps the most skeptical. You would not believe my surprise at Blockbusters attempt at online rentals.
I actually love it.
I was already a longtime member of the video store chain. I tried the online rentals because it was a good way …
Movie - “House”
Sure, the plot seems a bit “cookie-cutter” at first; but don’t let that fool you. “House” is a deeply disturbing film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Two young couples are stranded in rural Alabama. They find shelter at a nearby bed and breakfast; but what …
The Martian (Film 2015)
I just watched The Martian in theaters today and this Matt Damon led space thriller was absolutely phenomenal. It is one of those movies where you walk out and feel like you enjoyed a full meal and not cheated out of $10.50…and you get to see Childish Gambino in …
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
I would have to say the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” was a really good movie. When I first seen the movie I almost cried at how moving it was. It was like a real life situation and the struggles that normal people go through in life. The movie …
Gia (movie)
Gia is a movie about the deceased supermodel, Gia Carangi. Gia is played by Angelina Jolie, and while I am not a personal fan of Angelina Jolie, she does a marvelous performance. Gia is such a troubled soul, from the very start. Gia is not only a smart talking, …
Film Some Like It Hot
One of my favourite films of all time is Some Like It Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and directed by Billy Wilder.
The film is a genuine classic, not some art house movie that everyone raves about for a month, never having really watched it or understood …

Movie: The Family Stone

With an all-star cast including Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Claire Danes, and Diann Keaton, this movie …

The Nanny Diaries reminds me very much of my first few jobs. I think it is such an awesome movie and I love Scarlett Johansson’s acting tremendously. I love it very much and it is such a good and funny movie which made me laugh very much. …
Movie Funny Girl
I recently watch the movie Funny Girl, I have been a fan of Barbra Streisand since I was eight. I watched because I had never seen it before, which was shocking because I have seen a lot of Barbra Streisand movies.
This movie was phenomenal, it was beyond entertaining. The …
Christmas Vacation
Christmas Vacation is the only Christmas movie that I watch EVERY year and it never gets old. All of the characters are really great and genuinely funny. Chevy Chase certainly stills the show but kudos need to also go to cousin Eddie. The dynamic duo of …
Spinout movie
I’ve watched Spinout numerous times in my life, and I both like it and dislike it. I’ll say straight up that the reason I’m not fond of it is that I don’t like the ending. From the time I first saw it as a little girl, I …
Movie Avatar
I entered the theaters filled with much anticipation for this movie. I heard it has earned millions of dollars because it is such a hit across the globe. I wanted to prove for myself that seeing Avatar will be so worth my money, especially that I opted to watch …

An American Carol
This is without doubt one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! I admit when I checked it out I had never heard of it before, but I saw it stared Leslie Nielsen and I had always found him very funny in the “Naked Gun” movies. The DVD box …
Hairspray movie
Hairspray is a warm fuzzy type of movie. The musical style gives it a lot of fun complete with dancing. On top of that there is a great story and a very happy ending. It is a movie that has it all. John Travolta plays the heavyset mom, which …
Frequency movie
I watched this movie called frequency today on one of the movie channels. It was a pretty good movie overall. I enjoyed watching it and it got my attention. I really got into the movie in the middle of it. Dennis Quad plays in the movie and so does …
The Sixth Sense movie
I thought that The Sixth Sense is one of the best scary and strange movies made in the last 10 years. This movie really messed with my head and scared me the first time I saw it. I was not expecting the movie to be that scary, but it was …
Can I do It Till I Need Glasses (movie)
I do not exactly remember where I saw the film “Can I do It—¦Till I Need Glasses” anymore, but I do know that the reason why I paid it any attention in the first place is because I was told that the film starred a young robin Williams. Nevertheless, …
