Where It’s At movie
Where It’s At is another movie from the sixties about the generation gap, in an odd sort of way. In truth, I don’t like this movie. It’s just a little too off-beat for me. I didn’t like the characters, I don’t like their evolution, and there’s not …
Bratz
When we rented the movie Bratz, we figured it would be something our daughter would enjoy since she collects the toys. Turns out, she didn’t even watch five minutes of this live-action film and my wife and I were left with the feeling we’ve seen it before.
The movie focuses …
Superman 4 (1987)
This is where I believe the Superman saga got way too watered down and began feeling less like a superman movie and more like a superman flop. They have juiced it out to the point where they are now scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for some thing …
Baby Mama
I was a little wary of seeing the movie “Baby Mama.” Its rated PG-13, first of all, and I’ve noticed that most PG-13 movies these days are geared towards the youngsters who are limited to that rating. Second of all, the topic itself… the concept of a hopeful mother …
Clean Slate (movie)
I have to admit, outside of Wayne�s World and Wayne�s World 2, I haven�t seen many Dana Carvey movies. But, after watching his film, Clean Slate, I think I�m going to have to see more.
Granted, Carvey wasn�t overly convincing as a private investigator. He just didn�t seem tough enough, …
The Pursuit of Happyness
I’m not really a big fan of Will Smith but I must admit he gives the performance of his career in this movie (even better than his portrayal of Ali). He was worthy of the Oscar nomination he received. I was in tears for most of the film. Directed …
Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All movie
From 1989, Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All stars Stacy Keach in the title role of the famous private eye created by Mickey Spillane. This is somewhat of a weird plot that has Mike Hammer being transported covertly to Las Vegas. One thing leads to another and Hammer …
A Woman Under the Influence
I saw this movie going on some time ago on a certain channel although I cannot remember exactly which one. I hesitated to watch it at the time too since I realised that the movie was actually a movie from the seventies and I tend not to like most …
The Truth about Cats & Dogs
I must say that I don’t like much watching Uma Thurman movies. She chooses to bring to big screen such bizarre characters. “The Truth about Cats & Dogs” is the only movie where I truly like her interpretation because it fits so well with the script of this movie. …
Starving in Suburbia (movie)
I just finished watching the movie Starving in Suburbia and it was one of the best Lifetime original movies I can remember watching. I was actually shocked that it only got a rating of about 6.5 on its IMDB page since I think that it should have gotten at …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …
Sister Kenny movie
Rosalind Russell excels as Sister Kenny, a somewhat controversial Australian nun who came up with a treatment for polio. Based on the true story, this movie tells Elizabeth Kenny’s story of how she came upon a child with polio and began to treat her. It was the …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is in my opinion one of the best sea fairing movies ever made. The movie is nearly perfect in every manner. The cinematography is gorgeous and the film making is top notch. Some of the …

Shinobi
This movie, titled Shinobi, is about 1 hr and 56 minutes and I cried while watching. It tells a story of love, action and adventure, and there is also some violent images, so the rating R is there.
I am not sure why movies about war and romance always …
101 Dalmations
I am reviewing the Disney movie, 101 Dalmations. I am a huge dog lover and so this movie is perfect for me. I also love the whole London scene, even though I’ve never been there. I would like to go someday. This movie is about Pongo and …
Justice League: War (2014 movie)

Hostel (movie)
When we started watching the movie Hostel last night, we thought we were going to get a good thriller. What we got was a bad porn film pretending to be a scary movie.
The movie, which is supposed to be about three Americans traveling in Europe who end up getting …

Pride and Prejudice (2005 Film)
Before watching the 2005 film, “Pride and Prejudice” assumptions where made about how the film would be boring and dragging on for the entire two hours and nine minutes that would be spent watching it. I had honestly assumed that it would be similar to all other great love …

Miracle on 34th Street movie
The classic and wonderful Miracle on 34th Street is a delight for all time. I don’t think any holiday movie about Santa Claus will ever be able to surpass it. It’s family entertainment at its best, with quality performances across the board. Little Natalie Wood is …
French Cancan movie filmed 1954
Jean Renoir is without question considered one of the most significant directors of all time. He was engagingly good spirited; and consequently an entertaining personage.

Big Shots movie
Big Shots with Chris Titus and Dylan Mc Dermott.
The first episode of this series was pretty good, but the novelty quickly wore off. Four 40 year old well to do executives are friends and form a support group for each other as they muck …
W. movie
I went to see this film because it looked interesting, I thought it was interesting they would take shots at W eaven before his term had ended. The movie chronicles George W Bush’s life, growing up and eventually becoming president, it is one of those movies where you aren’t …
Kama Sutra movie

All of us girls were so keen to watch he’s just not that into you, I guess subconsciously us though maybe it will brush some light on watch guys really think.

Drake & Josh Go Hollywood
This is probably the third time I’ve watched the TV movie Drake & Josh Go Hollywood and, I’m not sure why, but I’m finding it to be one of the dumbest possible movies ever.
I mean the whole premise of the film doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. First, …
The Broken (R, 2009) movie

Fast & Furious (4)
Since I’ve watched all the previous installments of Fast And Furious, I knew what to expect from the fourth part. And I was not disappointed. The best thing about this part is Vin Diesel and Paul Walker back together. This could easily be the follow up for the …
Crawlspace
Well, when I read the description of the movie Crawlspace (a former Nazi spies on female tenants and then traps them in a secret torture chamber) I figured it would at least be worth a thrill or two. But, after watching it last night, I have to say I’m …
Spiderman Movie
When the movie Spiderman came out in theaters, I remember it got a lot of attention. I for one wasn’t any less thrilled than everyone else since I grew up reading Marvel comics even though those days I hadn’t read one in a long time.
I had no idea …
Alice in Wonderland (2010 movie)
I expected, because it has Johnny Depp and was directed by Tim Burton, for Alice in Wonderland to be a good movie. I wasn’t disappointed. It was a good movie, and definitely worth watching. The acting was seamless, every character interesting and exaggerated in true Alice in Wonderland style. …
The Road to Hollywood movie

Pollard serves as the host of The …
Heath Ledger’s A Knights Tale
Heath Ledger was best at his old-fashioned roles I think. He could play the gentleman, the rogue, even the villain, but his most touching films are ones that he is dawning an old-fashioned tunic, and this is one of those. This was the first movie of his that I …
The Comebacks
I don’t ever remember seeing the movie “The Comebacks” advertising to be released in theatres. In fact, thinking about it now I realized I must have, but at the time I probably thought that it was just one of the many sports movie dramas which were being released at …
