Scary Movie 4
I thought that Scary Movie 4 would be another foolish kind of slapstick movie but when I watched, I was really so laughing like crazy with my bunch of friends.
It was so, so funny and the fact that the Director and writers had come out with such a …
Wild Child Movie
This movie is called Wild Child, and it features Emma Roberts with a completely different role from what she usually does, it’s not unlike Hotel for Dogs or Nancy Drew, but this movie features her as Poppy, a very rich teenage Malibu queen who’s rebelling because her mom died …
The Mask (movie)
The Mask is a very funny movie. I really liked this movie. I think Jim Carey did a great job in this movie! He is a crazy party animal and he dancing. I really like how he plays with people and messing with them. I also really …
The Wolverine (2013 film)
I decided to watch the Wolverine one evening after hearing so many things about it. Initially I was late on finding out that there was going to be a new movie featuring the wolverine. To be honest, I don’t remember hearing anything about up it until a couple of …
Dan in Real Life
You cannot help but adore the actors, Steve Carell and Juliette Binoche is this romantic comedy. To be honest, I found it hard to associate Binoche with a comedy because I have always seen her interprets very serious and difficult characters; however I must admit that she is a …
Tropic Thunder
When I learned that the funny trio of Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. was realized, I couldn’t wait to see the film. Tropic Thunder is a morbid fascination with contemporary warfare. It does not present jokes in the obvious but it shoves a jokey momentum …
Love Affair movie
This 1939 film called Love Affair is considered a classic romantic piece, and it’s beloved by a lot of people, but I’m not really one of them. I just have so many moralistic problems with the piece in various forms. Part of it is the lack of …
The Last Crusade movie
I am reviewing the movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It is the last movie in the trilogy. It stars Harrison Ford and Sean Connery. It follows Raiders of the Lost Arc, and the Temple of Doom. When Indiana Jones’ father turns up missing, he is …
Evan Almighty
When we rented the movie Evan Almighty, I didn’t know what to expect. The orginal film, Bruce Almighty, was pretty good but sequels aren’t always as good as the original.
We found that, not only was it a great movie, it had a good message too. In fact, my …
Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is a brilliantly animated saga of emotions, humor mixed with an unconventional story line. It is (as the name suggests) all about Finding Nemo. Nemo is the life of his father who loves and cares for him to the utmost extent possible. But on his very first …
Dreamscape
I hadn’t seen Dreamscape in a while so, when given the opportunity to watch it last night, I made every effort. And, I have to say, the movie is as good as I remember it.
The great thing about Dreamscape is, even today, it’s a plot that hasn’t been re-done …
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Director: Rob Cohen. Featuring: Paul Walker, Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez.
That movie is definitely a classic. It is fun, exciting and really cool. I personally don’t know anything about cars or racing them, but after watching the movie I wished I did. The Fast and the Furious is …

COBRA, the movie (1986)
When motorcyclists start chasing under the window in the middle of the night, I immediately think of this movie. Sly was so good at shooting them with a machine gun on the move! Except I wouldn’t take a machine gun, but a heavy machine gun and enough ammo to go …
Mystery Science Theater 2000: The Movie
I thought that every Mystery Science Theater was a movie, but that isn’t really the point. There really isn’t anything very special about this episode of “Mystery Science Theater” compared to any of the others, but then there doesn’t have to be. Watching Mystery Science Theater is the next …
Shriner’s Circus movie
I recently had an opportunity to take my daughter to the Shriner’s Circus when they were holding it here in Beaver Dam.
While not the best circus I have ever attended, I will say it was a bit better than expected.
When I took my daughter to the Dodge County Fairgrounds, …
The Social Network: Movie
The Social Network was, for me, one of the best if not the best film of 2010 —“ and one of my all-time favourites.
I wasn’t too sure about the storyline but after recommendations I’m glad I gave it a chance, the plot is a very interesting and I wasn’t …
Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married”
Tyler Perry’s latest film, “Why did I get Married,” is perhaps his best film yet. This well written and directed drama is both inspiring and hilarious.
The films plot centers around a group of married couples who meet in the mountains of Colorado for a couples …
The Croods (movie)
There was a point in my life where I stayed clear of a lot of 3D animated movies because of two reasons. The first was that I stupidly thought that traditional 2D animation seemed to be becoming obsolete, as well as I just plain didn’t like a lot of …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I don’t know why everyone around me seems to find Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince a boring watch. Perhaps they are but I was like enjoying the movie, laughing throughout especially when it comes to the love potion. But I am just too lazy to think …
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004 movie)
For a movie that generated so much attention…it sure is boring. I tried to watch the movie straight tp the end, but it was hopeless. I couldn’t keep up with this movie as it didn’t have that staying power that a viewer looks for. It was long and drawn …
Predator
I think Predator is one of the scariest movie I have ever seen. And I also think it is one of Arnold schwarzenegger’s best roles. Predator offers a really good stoyline and villian. The Predator is an alien life form with advanced weapons and technology. This thing is scary. I …
The Duff (2015 comedy movie)
It had been a long time since I watched one of those teenage movies, and so after seeing the trailer for the movie “The Duff”; I became interested in seeing it. Despite the opinions of some people I know, it didn’t seem cliche to me at the time, and I …
Ghost Busters movie
My wife and I have been spending a great deal of time watching the show Ghost Hunters. So, as a change of pace, I decided to watch what I like to refer to as the original Ghost Hunters; the movie Ghost Busters.
This film, though a bit dated, is still …
Movie Resident Evil: Extinction
I sat down to watch the third Resident Evil movie last night; Extinction. While I thought it was an OK movie, I think they might have taken the series a bit too far.
The first thing I really didn’t like about that movie is the fact about half the main …
Masters of Horror Series:Homecoming
Description:
Homecoming is a horror story from the Masters of Horror Series on the Channel Showtime which I really enjoy. Whats cool about the series is every story is totally different with all new characters as well as the surroundings. This story happens to be Horror/Political Satire. The plot is …
Movie Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)
Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)
I first discovered this bizarre vampire film on TV in the 1970’s under the slightly abbreviated title Dracula’s Greatest Love. This is another in a long line of horror movies starring Spain’s Paul Naschy and his first and only Dracula film.
Some women find themselves stranded …
The Hot Spot movie
The Hot Spot is an ultra cool movie about a man who comes to town. When this man comes to town, everything that was static becomes shaken up. Don Johnson plays Harry and while I am not a Don Johnson fan (at all!) , I do like him in …
Exit Wounds (2001)
This movie is the typical case of good cop, bad cop or in Seagal’s case, bad cop, worse cop. His reckless abandon for the way he apprehends the bad guys is surpass able only by the way he kills the,, he is a violent man and a terror on …
Valkyrie (2008)
I enjoyed Valkyrie more than most war movies. It’s a story quite different from most WWII films. I expected to turn it off halfway though, but got a surprise when the movie pull me in! It’s got good substance and a story to tell that few of …
Film Avatar
The new movie Avatar has been reviewed so many times, with opinions ranging from “masterpiece” to “unoriginal” and “nothing special.” Well, here is my take on it, after watching it in IMAX. The plot may not be very original. My husband said that Avatar reminded him of “Dances with …
Pirates 3
I went to see Pirates of the carribbean 3 with my 11 year old daughter. We loved it. I thought it was better than the second one Dead Man’s Chest. Johnny Depp is hilarious.I enjoyed the part where he was “hallucinating” and there were Jack Sparrows everywhere on …
Yentl film
Yentl is one of my favorite Barbra Streisand films. Maybe it’s because she put her soul into this movie, making it a tribute for her own father in real life. It’s a story about heritage and the right to study religion as a female in the Jewish …
Old Joy movie
An abundant of people denounce against movies because they think that films are just made for entertainment and they spoil a child’s mind. This is not true because many films today are educational and teach us the values of life. I visited the Detroit Film Theatre on December 2, …
Lucky Number Sleven
The Kansas City Shuffle. I would love to go up to a random man, waiting in a bus station, only to talk about the Kansas City Shuffle, as Bruce Willis did at the beginning of this wonderful movie. I enjoy every single movie that I’ve seen with Bruce Willis, …
The Man With Two Brains movie
This film features Steve Martin, in a time where he was probably the funniest man in the whole world, as the brain surgeon who falls in love with a brain without a body (!) during a trip to Austria.
A quite bizarre that is totally dependent on the performance by …
Meet the Spartans
With movie theater tickets averaging around 10 dollars, and popcorn, soda and candy averaging all together around 10 dollars as well, that all adds up to a very angry person leaving the “Meet the Spartans” theater. I think I lost brain cells watching that movie. I wanted to throw …
Halloween film
This movie defines the word fear. Very rarely am I scared by movie long after I have seen it. But Halloween did that to me. This is THE scariest movie I have ever seen. This movie is proof that you don’t need young teenage girls …
Movie: Saw VI
Well, I didn’t really want to, but I gave in and finally sat down to watch the film Saw VI.

Love and Other Disasters
Brittany Murphy is cute, very cute, and from what I can see that is one of the driving forces of Love and Other Disasters.
This movie is a romantic comedy which appears to desperately want to be different yet is stuck with every cliche you can think of, from the …
Artic Tale (2007)
This is a wonderful animal movie for both children and adults. I guess you could say it is a true story as nature photographers filmed it up in the artic (the animals are not trained acting animals - they are the real thing). Words were added to the picture …
Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West
PBS has some of the most interesting shows on TV in our area. One of my favorite ones, they aired in 2002 was “Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West”. It was a Canadian version of Frontier House. My husband says I\’m obsessed with shows of this type …
Sideways (R, 2004) movie
I had actually been dying to see this movie although I kept passing over it in my Netflix queue. I feel that you have to be in a particular mood to deal with introspective ramblings of 30ish, 40ish people traveling the country simply to taste wine and sow …
The Runaways (movie)
I would not go as far as saying that I am a fan of the musician Joan Jett, since I still have not heard very many of her songs. However, the few I knew from her were done by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts and not her first band …
