Todd Sweeny
Remember Rick Morranis in Little Shop of Horrors? Well take a twisted theme, subtract the alien plant, and add a pyschodic barbor and you’ve got Tim Burton’s Todd Sweeny. The movie was a bit fruity with it being a complete musical, but the plot is there. Tim Burton must …
17 Again movie

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 …

Darby O’Gill and the Little People movie

My Bloody Valentine 3D
Yet another summer horror flick from Lionsgate studios, ‘My Bloody Valentine’ is given the increasingly popular 3D treatment, and it works beautifully.

Mulberry Street is one of those movies that is trying to make a statement on current society, but fails. At least that’s how I viewed the movie. I also noticed that the director seemed to take some inspiration from Night Of The Living Dead. At one point I even …

I’ve sat down to watch Veggie Tale movies with my daughter before. But, I’ve only done it to be nice; I’ve rarely enjoyed the experience. However, the movie The Pirates who don’t do Anything, is definitely an exception. I actually liked the movie as much as she did.

The Proposal movie
I am reviewing the 2009 movie, The Proposal, starting Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, and Betty White.
The plot to this movie is quite simple. Sandra Bullock plays a mean, severely unlikeable boss, who, when threatened with deportation, blackmails her assistant into pretending that they are married. There’s only …

9 to 5 by Dolly Pardon
9 to 5 is the first song that I personally remember hearing Dolly Pardon perform on TV. I saw the movie a few years latter when it came out and just about died laughing. It has a way of demonstrating the male stereo type of so many bosses. It …
Alice In Wonderland (2010)
When I heard Tim Burton had done Alice in Wonderland with Disney and Johhny Depp was the Mad Hatter, I could hardly wait to get to the theater. This film have so many of my favorite stars and they all did their usual brilliant jobs. Depp, of course, was …

Call Me Madam musical
In 1953, Twentieth Century-Fox released the marvelous musical, Call Me Madam with Ethel Merman, Donald O’Connor, and Vera-Ellen. It’s high-powered, high-energy, and high-five fun. I love these kind of innocent musicals where the story is lighthearted and the songs merry. Oh, there’s some heartbreak and drama …

The basic premise of this film is a future where vampires run the world and farm humans for their blood. I thought this was a pretty interesting idea but also figured it would just be “another vampire movie”. Although I was impressed with the initial idea for the movie, …
Teeth Movie
