I’m not sure what I want to say about 1934’s Palooka, which I don’t think I’ve seen before, but can’t be sure. At the head of the cast list was Jimmy Durante as Knobby Walsh. I like Durante, except for when he gets over nutty. There’s …

“Overnight Delivery” is an incredible, hilarious movie where you won’t stop laughing from the beginning till the end. The main actors in this movie, Paul Rudd and Reese Whiterspoon are at their best.
The story of this movie is about Wyatt Trips (Rudd) who is so in love with his …

Notting Hill tells a rather unlikely yet pleasant love story of Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) a movie star and William Thacker (Hugh Grant), a modest guy who works in a bookstore. I enjoyed this movie. Grand is very likeable as the good-hearted, honest William. Julia Roberts does a good …

I’m not a huge fan of some of his later Austin Powers movies, but I have always thought Mike Myers was a bit underrated when it comes to his films. That’s why I took the time to watch one of his first movies again; “So I Married an Axe …

Little miss sunshine is a really family oriented movie. If it did not have so much profanity, it probably would have been really successful as a mainstream movie. A dysfunctional family is coming together going on a road trip because the little girl wants to be in a little …

Whenever Hollywood produces a movie about superheroes that is successful at the box office, it isn’t unusual to see them attempt to make a sequel. Usually, the sequel is nowhere near as good as the original.
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a perfect example of this.
When I …

Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …

What a silly movie. Obviously, it was inspired by “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” in some weird way. The movie begins with students talking about sightings of some monster on campus. The descriptions of the monster vary, and it is clear that some of the “witnesses” are simply making …

You know, I need to start this review by saying that I almost didn’t rent this movie just because Jada Pinkett was in it. It’s not that I hate her as an actress, per se. I just find that her acting ability seems to forced in …

Roman Polanskis masterful effort about a woman, played by the beautiful Catherine Deneuve, who step by step goes insane in here solitude.

When it comes to masterpieces on film, Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange knows nearly no rival. While my personal experience with the movie did not come until just last year (the incessant raving from other viewers finally pushed me into the fray to give the film a watch), I’m …

After Alien 3 didn’t really impress me, I wasn’t sure Alien Resurrection would be any good. I purchased the Alien 4 Alien Resurrection 1997 Special Edition Bluray. The filmmakers ended the series on a really strong note, giving some finality to the alien storyline. Ripley died to keep the …

This is one historical movie that I found very fascinating even though it was a drama. It stars Kierra Knightly (Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean) and she does an expert job of playing the lead role of the Duchess. To make matters even more interesting, the story …

The movie had captivated my interest from the very beginning especially with so much buildup about a room, that I was ‘dying’ with curiosity just to have a …

One of my friends had been nagging me to watch the movie “Shortbus” for several weeks, but I kept putting it off mostly because I did not have the time to actually sit and watch a movie. However, some time ago, we had both managed to watch the movie …

It is always weird to see street kids from England. Their little accents make them sound so sweet, yet they are using language that is just as foul as American people. This movie focuses on a group of teenagers going to a school. One of the …

I recently watched again the movie Dinosaur from Disney Channel, and as usual I am amazed by it. It is about a dinosaur named Aladar, his family of monkeys and other dinosaur friends. Meteors fell from the sky and destroyed their home, leaving them looking for a new nesting …

This weekend I watched The Fugitive again and was reminded what a great movie it is. I was skeptical when it was being made. I love the TV series, which is television classic, and I was afraid the theatrical movie would detract from it or parody it …

Like many others, I grew up loving the book “Where The Wild Things Are”, and though I’m not a child anymore, when I found out a movie was coming out I was genuinely intrigued. How do you turn a 10-15 page children’s picture book into a full-length movie? Well, …

Last Vegas is a comedy film I was eager to see after viewing the trailer for it one evening. I wasn’t hesitant in watching it due to all the veteran actors that would be starring in the film. I just knew that a film with Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, …

From 2008, the movie Mamma Mia! garnered a lot of buzz when it was released. I didn’t see it myself until just recently, however. Part of me wonders if the movie suffers from my ‘too much hype’ syndrome. Back when American Graffitti came out, I didn’t …

I watched this movie and will admit that it took a little while for me to start liking it at all. I thought that it was a little frivolous at first ,and all the way through as a matter of fact. Lindsey Lohan is an okay actress, but certainly …

Pollock is another movie about a real artist, Jackson Pollock. Pollock is the real deal and evidently Jackson Pollock was no peach. I was rather horrified by this movie, and it was very haunting. Jackson Pollock was an important American artist whose style was like no other. In Pollock, …

The Shining starring Jack Nicholson as Jack, the father, is my favorite The Shining movie. This classic blew everyone away in its time, and Stephen King’s book was brought to justice with The Shining movie. A man who has some issues and quirks takes his family to an old …

I think Suspiria is probably one of the scariest. If not the scariest movie ever made. This movie is old from the year 1977. But I still enjoy it. In fact I think older movies like Suspiria are the best kind of movies. I just loved the spooky music …

I actually was so scared when I watch this movie. It seems like there could be a real story like this out there, and that made me so scared.
This movie is about Mr. Brooks, who is a successful businessman, having a family and a wife. He looks …

Cinderella is easily one of my favorite Disney movies of all time and I’ve probably seen it 50 times over the years. I used to baby sit a little girl who absolutely had to watch the movie every night before she went to bed and even then I never …

I recently went to go see King Kong at a movie theatre. It was everything I expected. King Kong was full of action, suspense and romance. This movie protrays the well known saying, “beauty killed the beast.” King Kong is one of the best movies in 2005. And anyone …
