‘The Hills Have Eyes 2′ is a remake of a sequel. Although the original movie directed by Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street) in the year 1977, also has sequel with the same title in 1985. However, the version of 2007 is not a remake of the 1985 …
Paranoid Park Movie
I have never seen a Gus Van Sant film, however obviously the fact that he is a well-known director tipped me off to the fact that there might be something worth checking out there. Going through my Netflix on a lazy Sunday, I discovered a movie called Paranoid Park, …
Let’s Go Collegiate movie
Let’s Go Collegiate was a movie released in 1941 that is basically a lot of college age nonsense. I tried, but I couldn’t get all that into the fun of this picture. It was okay, but I just didn’t really take to the story and none of …
A League of their Own movie
I am reviewing the movie, A League of the their Own, which was released in 1997. Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Madonna are just a few big stars that acted in this incredible movie about the first ever woman’s baseball team. Tom Hanks plays Jimmy Dugan, who in …
Rush - Movie
After the extraordinary success of “Rocky” sports movies almost invariably follow the stereotypical formula, with slight variations, determined by the taste of the author. In “Rush” opportunities for freely creative imagination are relatively limited as it recreates real events related to real people .

Don Cheadle plays the character of a devout Muslim who must play both sides of the field; one is that of a Muslim supporter who sells arms and makes bombs for the suicide bombers and the other is that of an agent for the United States government who is …
Bedtime Stories comedy
Bedtime Stories, starring Adam Sandler, is an enjoyable family oriented comedy. It won’t win any Oscars, but it’s one you feel fairly safe watching with your kids. There is some very mild bad language, but it’s pretty tame even for its PG rating. My one biggest complaint (Spoiler alert) …
Open the Door Richard movie short
I have no idea how to even describe this 1945 movie short called Open the Door Richard. It’s a strange production that I just don’t understand. It features Dusty Fletcher and the infamous Richard, if only in spirit.
I just don’t know what to say, or should I …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
Remember the all so catchy, “I like to move it, move it?” Made me cry and laugh most of the time and whenever I manage to watch re-runs of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa on DVD.
This animated Madagascar has never failed to amaze me. First it was …
The Day the Earth Stood Still
OK, when I watch a science fiction movie, I expect space aliens to be aggressive and to desire taking over our planet. I don’t want them to come here to be our friends (unless of course that happens in real life).
That’s why the movie The Day the Earth Stood …
Bad News Bears (2005 movie)
Remake of a classic…this movie lives up to the reputation that The Bad News Bears have been known for. It does not disappoint the original stories that it’s being based on. But it’s time for a reality check…this movie was never a good one to start off with. It …
Up In The Air Movie
I thought this movie was going to be really exciting since Anna Kendrick and George Clooney was here, the movie all about George Clooney being “alone” and “isolated” because of this job that requires him to fly all around the country, he then meets Vera Farmiga who’s just as …
Devil in a Blue Dress
I had seen the movie “Devil in a Blue Dress” being shown on a few cable television movie channels for years, but never watched it at the time since I just didn’t think that I would have any interest in the movie. However, recently since I have begun to …

The Call (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Call” it was a little before it was released, and I didn’t really pay much mind to it. Part of the reason was because a lot of the actress Halle Berry’s recent movies seem to have bombed and I …
Poltergeist
When I was fourteen, this movie scared me. And I felt then, and now, that I don’t scare easily. Very few movies even give me the chills. But Poltergeist scared me, and at the same time thrilled me. It became somewhat of both an embarrassment and a disappointment that …
Murder by Decree
I am reviewing Murder by Decree, a Sherlock Holmes movie starring Christopher Plummer as Sherlock Holmes, and James Mason as Dr. Watson. This movie was produced in 1978, and pits Sherlock Holmes against the infamous Jack the Ripper. This movie is considered to be the best Holmes …
A Life Less Ordinary

Limitless Movie
I had not heard anything about Limitless when I walked into the theater and sat down to watch it. My initial reaction at hearing that Bradley Cooper was playing the main character was to wonder if he could pull that off; sure he has been successful as a side …
Letters To Juliet Movie (2010)
Amanda Seyfried had been recently into wholesome love-story romantic movies which involves comedy and romance, so when I saw the trailer for this I was waiting for the film to be shown already. When I watched this movie, I felt as if I was also in the movie because …
Daddy’s Little Girls
OK, when my wife insisted on renting the movie Daddy�s Little Girls, I did the same thing any good husband would do; rolled my eyes. In fact, I told her she was more than welcome to watch it while I was at work.
Personally, I never have been a big …
Cloverfield
I recently watched Cloverfield on DVD. Shh…my brother works at a video rental place and they get it a few days earlier than actual release!

Movie “Going the Distance” (2010)
I am not a big fan of romantic comedies. I do watch a handful per year but they are not my favorite genre. I picked this one up from netflix mostly because I had sen every thing else in new releases. I was pleasantly surprised at …
Hot Shots Part Deux
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sequel to the movie Hot Shots; Hot Shots Part Deux. And I have to admit, after seeing it again this morning, it’s as good as I remember it being.
While the first Hot Shots movie made fun of the film Top Gun, …
Dude, Where’s My Car?
Remember when Dude, Where’s My Car? was first shown on the cinemas? I think there are just movies that truly “work” and some just don’t. And the actors play an active role as well. If you put non-funny actors in a funny comedy movie, it won’t work …
School of Rock (movie)
When School of Rock came to theaters a few years ago, I enjoyed it so much that I saw it two nights in a row with different people. I didn’t pay for it myself either time, but that’s beside the point. The reason I could see it …
The Big Wheel movie
The Big Wheel is a movie I haven’t seen in a couple of decades, but I actually remember watching it off and on late night on TV when I was growing up. It’s a Mickey Rooney film, and it played often. Perhaps because it’s a movie …
The Wrestler (2008) Movie
I recorded this movie on Sky Plus and then did not watch it for the longest time, until recently. This is because despite the fact that it stars Mickey Rourke - one of my most favourite actors - I did prejudge that, despite all the critics raving about …
Unknown (movie)
Like many of the movies I’ve watched recently, one of the first places that I heard of the movie “Unknown” was on a movie blog. The plot sounded very promising, so I got the movie and watched it with two people as soon as I had the time. Everyone …
George Romero’s Land of The Dead
This is a very underrated movie. Most zombie movies are all about gore and blood. This movie isn’t just a typical zombie movie though. In this movie, the zombies get smart and start to adapt. They begin living as if they were still alive, establishing communities of the living …

Battle Creek Brawl (1980) movie
Watching this movie was a fairly new and interesting experience for me, since I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Jackie Chan movie like it, and I also used to like Jackie Chan movies. Yes, it was still one of Jackie Chan’s martial arts comedies, but I don’t usually …
First Daughter movie
The right words to describe the movie “First Daughter” is a Presidential version of “A Princess Diaries”. The true pity is that “First Daughter” has the same story of “Chasing Liberty” and they were both released during the same year 2004. One cannot help but compare …
Carver (horror movie)
One thing I’m truly sick of is those cliche horror movies where a bunch of teenagers or college age campers get stuck in the woods and are taken out one by one by a bunch of “redneck” psychopaths. However, I also have those rare moments where I might crave those …
Vantage Point
The new Pete Travis film, “Vantage Point” hit number one in it’s first week in theaters. The film is not great, but is worth checking out. The idea behind the film is creative, I give it that much. The film opens with a typical “the …
Leatherheads

The movie is about football before it was popular, and what the players and teams had to go through to make it what it is today. It also shows how stories …
Nothing movie
From 2004, Nothing is about two guys who think the world away to near nothingness. I will say off the top that the opening writing material that is on the screen brings on early chuckles. The writing proclaims that the movie is absolutely true. It’s an …
Somewhere movie
I’ve seen many bad movies lately. When I got to see “Somewhere” even if it was a movie for what I have waited a long time. I watched it from inertia. But the movie got me on the wrong foot.
Johnny Marco (played by Stephen Dorff) is a famous action …
Princess Bride (1987 movie)

Halloween By: Rob Zombie
