The People Vs. Larry Flynt movie
This is a 1996 film starring Woody Harrelson and Edward Norton, it is the true story of Larry Flynt and his Hustler Magazine. The fact that Woody played Flynt surprised me a little, a drastic shift in style for him, he does a really good job, before this film …
Meet Me in St. Louis movie
When I think about Meet Me in St. Louis, I mostly think about Judy Garland and Margaret O’Brien. Garland is the star of this MGM movie from 1944, and she does a great job. She sings the classic Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and does so …
My Sister’s Keeper (the book and movie)
My Sister’s Keeper is a novel by Jodi Piccoult and a movie recently released on DVD. I try to make a concentrated effort to read a book before watching it on film because it is never as good on film. I have to admit that while reading …

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Ok, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street was an interesting movie with an interesting premise. Never seen the second so I can’t comment on it, but the third one is just, well, silly.

The Watchmen (2009, Zack Snyder) film
You probably know the tag-line “Who is watching the watchmen?” and should add yourself to the list of people doing just that.
I’m a confessed sci-fi/fantasy geek, pretty up there in the scale but short of Klingon-speaking-Con-attending-Trekkie status. So I knew I would like this film. Even if you’re not …

Very Violent Film
Isn’t it good to go to a movie and see intelligent, peacefull and interesting films? But there is nothing of this that I found at Lord of The Rings 3. There are so much violence in the scenes, so much strange anoyng creatures, like the Orcs, creatures that are …

Son of the Mask (Movie 2005)

Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

The Longest Yard was a movie that I had absolutely no desire to see for the longest time, no pun intended. I have to say that I’ve never really been a big fan of Adam Sandler. There are times when potty humor can be funny and times when stupid …
Max Payne
I was at first hesitant to watch the movie by Marc Wahlberg; though I know he is a good actor and has proven himself way too many times in his previous movies, I’d say I am glad that I did go to the movies and watched it. I really …
Spartans
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, Spartans, starring a variety of different actors. This is one of those spoof movies, like the Scary Movie saga. The Scary Movie saga makes fun of a variety of different scary movies through the years, whereas Spartans focuses on making fun of the …

I try to keep up with the latest releases of gay and lesbian films so I ordered a movie called Hannah Free from Netflix last week. It stars Sharon Gless as an elderly butch lesbian who is in the same nursing home as her long time lover, who …
Music and Lyrics
For people who grew up in the 80’s, much of the subtle humor in the recent movie, “Music and Lyrics” is not as subtle as it is obvious and in your face. From the incredibly cheesy music videos, to the fanatical gyrations of a has-been, this movie made me …

Balls of Fury
Starting from the ambiguous title, this flick sets up expectations for a superficial and possibly disgusting comedy with the kick-in-the-balls type of humor. The expectations are justified. Granted, “Balls of Fury” is a parody, but parody doesn’t have to be stupid or revolting, in my opinion.
Randy, the main character, …

Some time ago I found a wonderful website called Swapadvd. This is a place where you can exchange unwanted DVDs with other members for DVDs you do want. Since I love watching DVDs, this was the perfect website for me. Best of all, it really works and I have …
