G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra
G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra was released August 7th, 2009. It was directed by Stephen Sommers. I almost didn’t see this movie thinking it was for a younger audience. I’m glad I decided to. I liked it! That surprised me as I was never …

As far as actors go I think Kevin Costner is okay. He is not my favorite but he does do well in some movies. I thought he did okay in Dances with Wolves and since I do like a good western ( note I said good i.e. Pale …

I was looking for some movies for my daughter to watch while home on Christmas break and came across A Martian Christmas. I didn’t know what to expect from the animated movie, but I figured it was worth watching considering it is almost Christmas.
The movie ended up being better …

Some time ago, I re-watched the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and thought it was one of the most boring alien invasion movies ever made. Despite that, I decided to give the 2008 Keanu Reeves remake a try this past weekend.
Unfortunately, while better, it wasn’t overly great …

I really tried to like this movie. Usually when a film is made in a foreign country like Ireland, the acting is typically good. But this time, an American family decided to go trekking through Ireland in search of their ancestral roots. First of all, …

“Luther,” 2003, starring Joseph Fiennes, is a well-done, compelling movie about the beginning of the Reformation. Seeing the questionable practices of the Catholic Church, Luther, a devoted monk, begins to question its teachings. Despite being a monk, he has never read the New Testament; when he does, he is …

No introduction to actors Ed Harris and Jude Law are ever required. Enemy At The Gates, in my opinion, is often an overlooked masterpiece. Based on real life events during World War II, the movie centers around the battle for Stalingrad between the Germans and Russians. Master sniper …

Starring Joe Flanigan and William Hall, Jr., Farewell to Harry is presented on DVD for the enjoyment of DVD shoppers. The picture also stars Lysette Anthony in a supporting role.
The movie itself is intriguing and focuses on the relationship of a writer and the owner of a hat …

I was watching the movie Forrest Gump again for probably the third or fourth time. While not quite as good as I remember it when I originally saw it, I still think this has to be one of Tom Hanks better pictures.

One of my favorite movies when I was younger was Jawbreaker. This movie shows a typical mean-girls’ group who went to great lengths to play a prank on their good friend. This came out in 1999 when I was still in college, so watching this with girlfriends was …

This 2003 release was obviously meant to be a “spooky comedy” of sorts, with ghosts and zombies who come alive in their tomb in a most inconvenient time. Perhaps some kids liked it, and perhaps it was okay to watch once for some adults. But to me, it was …

It is really such a pity because Fighting (starring Channing Tatum) could have been so much better. In more ways than one, it has a special potential for being a great fighting movie but it fails to. Even Channing Tatum’s handsome looks could not make me really happy …

The classic and wonderful Miracle on 34th Street is a delight for all time. I don’t think any holiday movie about Santa Claus will ever be able to surpass it. It’s family entertainment at its best, with quality performances across the board. Little Natalie Wood is …

The Last King of Scotland was possibly the first movie that I had seen the Scottish actor James McAvoy in where I began to take him seriously. I remember that when I first watched it, I didn’t have a clue what it was going to be about and so …

Oh how I love these kind of movies…. You know, the ones that spoof genres and imitate many films at the same time. Examples of these are ones like SCARY MOVIE, DANCE FLICK, THE NAKED GUN, NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE etc… One of the main reasons I like these …

From 1997, Out to Sea is a surprisingly funny motion picture. Even with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau teamed yet again, I just wasn’t sure that this movie would have what it takes to entertain all the way through, but I shouldn’t have worried. With these two …

A big brown turd is the name for the vehicle driven by Robin Williams in this want to be family comedy, and the title would do just as well to describe how I feel about the comedic gestures in this film as a whole. There may be a lot …

2 years ago, I haven’t even seen a single Wes Anderson film. Not until I was introduced to a seemingly, picturesque-filled title like “The Grand Budapest Hotel” midyear.
During that time, I believe I …

“The Judge” wasn’t really one of those movies whose trailer sparked much interest for me. As a matter of fact I didn’t expect that it would be very good even though it had some talented actors in it such as Robert Downey Jr, Robert Duvall, and Vera Farmiga. However after …

As usual, I got sucked into seeing this movie since I’m such a huge fan of horror. The trailers looked intriguing (as they always do). But upon reading about this movie, I realized that it is based off of a video game. This could have made …
