Recently, I tried out Blockbuster’s Online Rentals, and it was an interesting experience.
The sign up process was simple enough, and I found the website to be fairly easy to use. I was on the 3-movies at a time program, and I began by making a very long list …

In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …

WHen I was in high school I used to hear some adults as well as English teachers talking about the time when the book “The Glass Menagerie” used to be a literature book which students had to read in order to pass one of their exams. Out of curiosity, …

St. Trinian’s is a “legendary” school for girls that is nothing like any other school you’ve ever seen. The Headmistress (played by brilliant actor Rupert Everett) will not comment on students throwing each other over the balcony, but she will yell to tuck their shirts in. Chemistry is all …

(Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke)
Heads you live. Tails you die. And this movie definitely lives! This “story” about the first female bounty hunter, Domino (Knightley) is a full tilt, off the chart super pumped extravaganza of action, chaos, and mayhem. The high-octane, deliriously shot scenes do …

Torn Apart stars Tia Carrere and several nobodies.
I love Tia Carrere in action movies. I thought that this movie would only support my feelings, but I was wrong. Though she has not aged well, she does continue to be sexy wearing the black tank …

Plot taken for the film is simple, namely on guile someone to lie to other people and I think that is very interesting, packed by the director. Hugh Jackman combination with Erwan McGregor is very good and can offset one with the other.
This story started when Jonathan McQuarry …

I like the fact that Sandra Bullock in many of her films, usually plays a feisty but vulnerable sort of character, a real fighter, someone we can all relate to. “All About Steve” continues in this time honored tradition, rather like, “Miss Congeniality”. I was pleasantly surprised to find …

I am not a huge Molly Parker fan. But there is something about the actress’ delicate features and avant garde sensitivity that I am drawn to. For that reason, I decided to rent “Suspicious River”—a film about a young woman who works in a motel, …

Orphan was released July 24th 2009. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. If you haven’t seen it yet you are not missing too much so don’t fret. This movie tried hard to come across as a horror/thriller type movie. In reality it was neither. It was more like a …

What I have found with comedies is you either have ones that give you a few laughs or movies that make you laugh non-stop from start to finish. The movie Rat Race is the latter of the two and one I would recommend to anyone.
The movie features a list …

Hollywood has done it again. They’ve taken a well-known movie and tried to update it with flashy costumes (literally in the case of Zeus) and an overabundance of CGI. Clash of the Titans is a remake of the 1981 film by the same name, although it lacks many of …

I watched the DVd “Eddie and the Cruisers” last evening.
This musical movie was made back in the 1980’s.
I really like this movie, which is based on the disappearance of Eddie Wilson, the lead singer of Eddie and the Cruisers. Maggie,
played very well by Ellen Barkin, is a reporter …

When I first saw the movie “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”, I was not the slightest bit interested in it for several reasons. The very first one was the fact that the actor Seth Rogen was in one of the lead roles as Zack, and I have never …

Pan’s Labyrinth, was an extraordinary and visually appealing movie. I was skeptical going into it, because I don’t like foreign films, but I immediately forgot about all my reservations, and just sat back and took the movie in. It was easy to get caught up in, and …

If you’re thinking of a way to waste an hour and a half of your life, give the movie Knock Knock a try. This movie is a complete waste of time and I don’t know how I ever sat through the whole movie. If you’ve read any of my …

I am Legend is very much a one man show with lead actor Will Smith on great form in undeniably his best screen performance to date. Overhyped? almost definately, but despite this the end result is ultimately rewarding.
So what’s it all about ? Emma …

Disney’s 1975 film, Escape to Witch Mountain, is a delight even now, decades later, as I write this review. The cast is terrific, and the story definitely entertains. It’s done with traditional family style and adventure, and even more so, there was a lot of heart, and …

It’s true that lately I have not seen any comedy or animated films, at least not as I would have liked.
Animation films offer yet unexplored possibilities, mixed genres, the revolution of the main characters, change scenery.
So even if we fundamentally look at about the same kinds of movies, some …

Some spoilers
There are good scenes where Parker …

From 1941, Sunny was based on a stage play of the same name. It was, at moments, an interesting take on the times when performing for a circus meant being cheap and perhaps even vulgar.
At the helm of the motion picture was Anna Neagle as Sunny O’Sullivan who …
