Kingdom of Heaven (2005 film)
A direct cause and effect product of my personal favorite film of all times Gladiator (2000), Kingdom of Heaven takes us where history of the Middle Ages has always talked about-the Crusades. It is a film that inspired me for the heroic part of that time’s history.

Movie The Sure Thing
I admit I really enjoy watching John Cusack’s movies. He manages to be great in whatever character he interprets. “The Sure Thing” represents one of his early movies so one gets to see Cusack in much younger version together with cute actress, Daphne Zuniga of “Melrose Place” TV series.
“The …

Charmed TV Show
Remember the tv show Charmed? This was about three sisters who fought demons and struggled to build personal lives as well. I must admit, this is among my favorite shows. I have almost all of the seasons on DVD and I don’t let anyone in my family touch them …
2001 Space Idiocies
2001 Space Idiocies is the 4th episode of the 1st season of Tripping the Rift and is to me the highlight of the show’s first season. As the title gives away there is a lot of riffing off of the movie 2001: A Space Oddyssey.
This episode succeeds in …

ADULT WORLD, movie (2013)
We are all so special and unique when we are 20 years old. We have special feelings. We have thoughts that we think no one else has ever had before. We feel at the center of the world. We are true egocentrics. We carry around our “creativity,” whether it’s “shitty …
Latin Lovers movie

Movie The Strangers
I just rented and watched the movie the strangers today and it was pretty good. I am not going to say it was a 10 because there were parts of the movie that I felt like “I wish it would hurry up and end”. At the same time …
Killing Them Softly, crime film
Killing them softly is a crime film that takes the genre completely to another level. The characters and cinematography is top notch however, I found the story to be a bit on the weaker side.
Talking about camera-work, this mob film sure is a breath of fresh air. The joint-smoking …
The Station Agent (R, 2003) movie
I have had this movie in my Netflix queue for a long time. And just like so many others, I kept passing over it for some reason or another. I liked the idea of seeing Peter Dinklage (the famous dwarf featured on FX’s Nip/Tuck) in an independent …
Movie: Iron Man 2
When the movie Iron Man came out, I didn’t think it would be a movie I would enjoy. However, it ended up being much better than I thought it would be.
When they came out with the sequel, Iron Man 2, I once again figured it would be a movie …
Marooned movie
Marooned isn’t a big favorite of mine, but there’s something about it that when I start watching it, it’s hard to turn off. I normally love space-age movies, but sometimes they seem a bit off. While that’s the case here, the acting in some cases is so …
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Atlantis The Lost Empire is one of my all time favorite animated films. I think the scenes in this movie are just breathe taking. I was very impressed with how cool Atlantis looked in the movie. Atlantis The Lost Empire really paints a great image of what Atlantis probably really …
Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is one of those movies that people either love or don’t care for at all. I’m definitely one of the former people, which explains why I now own three copies of the movie on DVD. When I was looking through the racks of a local store and …

Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 movie)

Movie: Zombieland
When I first heard of the movie Zombieland, I wasn’t planning on watching it. I figured it would be like every other horror movie spoof out there and would be a big waste of my time.
However, my wife did want to watch it and, after some argument, I caved …
Dreamcatcher
This movie is based on the novel by Stephen King, which I managed to finish in one setting, so I figured the movie had to be good. And it WAS fairly entertaining, though it got a little cheezy towards the end. The movie basically is about four friends who …

After a long while, I’m back here, just to write a short review about the film “Alexander” from Oliver Stone. The film is about Alexander the Great.
Many meaningfull historical event are forget, and I think that Alexander was not that mad man.
The photography is at the level of Oliver …
Cheeni Kum, movie
Finally somebody had the sense to pair two performers we’ve been dying to see together: Amitabh and Tabu.
And debutant director R Balki proves he’s just the man for the job as he marvelously brews the perfect romantic comedy around an acerbic chef and a classy dame.
As …
Scooby doo and the goblin king
I rented this movie to watch with my sister. Overall it was pretty good. She has always liked scooby doo and so have I. I liked the creativity of it and the characters in it. There is a pumpkin in it, I can’t remember what his name is but …
Lover Come Back movie
Doris Day and Rock Hudson team up again for Lover Come Back from 1961. It’s a really fun and daffy romantic comedy that I enjoy a lot, though Pillow Talk is my favorite of their three motion pictures together.
In Lover Come Back, both Day and Hudson play ad …
Where God Left his Shoes movie
I am a big fan of small movies, and I just watched another great one on DVD, called “Where God Left his Shoes.” The actors in it are relative unknowns, at least to me, and this movie received very little attention. The plot is quite a heart-wrenching story of …

Some movies achieve cult status, and that is exactly what has happened to Road House, the movie in which Patrick Swayze stars as the philosophical bar bouncer, Dalton. To be precise, Dalton is the cooler, the man in charge of the staff that keeps his bars safe for …

The X-Files Movie
Highly acclaimed science fiction series The X-Files makes it first venture onto the big screen, with Mulder and Scully becoming embroiled in even more shenanigans involving the villainous Syndicate and the dastardly alien invasion plot they’ve spent decades concealing from the public.

Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set
The Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set is a three DVD set that includes just five Columbo episodes. It’s not much, but that’s all of the movies that aired in 1989.
I don’t like how the DVDs are set up, however. Universal isn’t known for providing quality …
