Transformers Animated Series - Black Arachnia Action Figure
Black Arachnia is one of the Decepticons in the Transformers Animated Series toy line. She is unusual in that she is one of the few female Transformers. One must wonder what gender would even mean in terms of robots, but I digress. She is a neat …
Dinosaur Island Movie
Last night we had an early family movie night and ended up watching the film Dinosaur Island. At the time, I figured it was a movie our daughter would enjoy and was just willing to suffer through it for her sake. But, it turned out to be a pretty …
Blank Check movie
I completely forgot about this movie until some time recently when I was having a discussion with a few of my friends about children’s movies from the nineteen nineties. The name of the movie Blank Check came up and I decided to write about it. It was not my …
Jumanji (movie)
When I was much younger, I had a sleepover with one of my aunts and she rented a video of a movie that she thought I would like to see. It was a few years after Jumanji was released and I never heard of the movie before that night, …
Movie: Elf
The family is in bed early tonight. And, since I don’t have much else to do, I’m sitting on the couch watching the movie Elf.

Mother and son movie
This is a film by the russian cinematic artist Alexandr Sokurov and tell a very slow story about a young man and his sick mother. Sokurov paints his film in stunningly beautiful images and overall I think this feels more like observing a painting than seeing a film, but …
The Librarian: Quest for the Spear
Some time ago, I heard about the movie “The Librarian” and didn’t think much of it. I figured, at most, it would be a rip off of Indiana Jones and, without the great special effects and the star power of Harrison Ford, would prove to be lame.
I ended up …
Amazing Grace
I did not see this movie until some tinme after it was released. I didn’t even see it advertise and that could have been because I was a bit busy around the time it was released. However, after finding out about it I was a bit eager to watch …
Killings at Badger Drift movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Murder at Badger’s Drift, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This movie was made in 1997, was produced by Brian May and Betty Willingale. It is based by the novels of Caroline Graham.
In this movie, murder is afoot! A little …
30 Rock Season 2
The second season of 30 Rock was cut short because of the writer’s strike, which is something that I didn’t realize when I first started watching it online through Netflix. Despite the fact that it was missing 5-6 episodes off the regular season length, this was still pretty good. …
Drag Me to Hell (UR, 2009)
I am soooo glad that I waited to see “Drag Me to H3ll” on DVD. Had I watched it in the movies, I would have been extremely disappointed. In any case, I didn’t like that the film was too much of a dark comedy with some cheesy …
Movie The Car
The Car is a very old but super scary movie. The movie was very good in my opinion. I think that the film really shows the kind of stuff that people really fear. I mean what’s not scary about a car that drive by it’s self and kills people? …

Captain America movie
When I first heard about the Captain America movie, my first thought was, “How can Chris Evans be The Human Torch AND Captain America?” Is the smooth-talking wise-cracking lady’s man really the right person to be playing the man who fights for truth, justice, and the American way? Director …

I Legend movie
Independence Day, Wild. Wild West, Men in Black, I Robot, I legend. Main ingredient Will Smith plus flat imagination, lots of special effects. I fell asleep, I felt ripped off. There were dramatic moderately high points in the movie. The scripts were not original, Smith …
Spider Man 3
I went to see Spider Man 3 last weekend with some friends. I guess I have to say first off that I’m not a huge fan of Spider Man, but like it well enough to see the movies. I liked the second movie better than the first, but I …
John Tucker Must Die
Before renting this movie, i had heard TONS of negative reviews. So who cares? The people who review movies in newspapers are CRAZY! Some of the best movies receive 2 or 3 stars, while absolutely atrocious movies receive 5! However, the fact that many of …
Shutter (UR, 2008)
I had rented the Thai version of this film and was really disappointed with how shallow the American remake was. First of all, Joshua Jackson (of “Dawson’s Creek”, “Skulls”) is the lead character. I was not even aware of who his co-star is. …
Movie: “Witchboard” (1986)
We’ve all wondered about the Ouija board: is it just a game, or can spirits really come through it? Some people just have to learn the hard way.
Jim (Todd Allen) and Linda (Tawny Kitaen) hold a party; but Jim is angry and jealous when Linda invites her ex-boyfriend Brandon …
Devdas movie
One of the most expensive Bollywood movies ever. I am not a very big fan of indian films, but perhaps that is because I didn’t see that many yet, I’m not sure. Devdas is about a man who returns to India after a long exile abroad, falls in love …
The Mind’s Eye
The Mind’s Eye is a very stunning and magical movie. The movie is very unique because it is all art with music. There are not human actors or scripts. You just see segments of digital art move to the sound of beautiful music. I really love this video and it …
The Hunt (2012)
As a fan of cinema entertainment I indulged in watching the movie called The hunt. I choose to watch this movie because of the actor Mads Mikkelsen was the lead Role. Besides that factor, I was drawn to the plot of the film. I must warn that my …

Tristan is the Cornish Knight of a region of England whose village has come under attack by the Irish, he leaches a counter attack and manages to kill the leader of the attacking force, but he too is seriously wounded in the fracas, and he presumably dies when it …
The Good Mother (movie)
One of my guilty pleasures is watching some of the more modern Lifetime movies, especially if I think that they have fairly interesting plots and fairly tolerable acting. These can be a little hard to find especially in a sea of low budget movies that Lifetime seems to bring. …
Breakfast on Pluto (movie)
I saw bits and pieces of this movie at least twice when it was being aired on Starz Cinema, and on about the third time I decided the description of the plot made it seem to be too interesting to not try out. I was cooking when I started …
Interview with a Vampire
When the movie Interview with a Vampire came out, I thought it was a fantastic film. And, I still do think it is better than some of the so-called vampire movies that are out today (like Twilight). But, I have to tell you, I watched it again last night …
The Fog film
In John Carpenter’s original The Fog, we are introduced to a tiny little coastal village which is celebrating its anniversary. Almost as if to go along with the celebrations a mysterious fog drifts into town and disappears when it is about to get light again. It seems that this …
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! movie
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! is a movie I recall seeing back when it was released originally in 1971. It starred Bill Bixby as playboy businessman, Johnny Gaines. Bixby did a fine job here, but it was interesting to me when I re-watched it recently that he looked tired …
Highlander Endgame
I actually really liked this movie. The film seeks to bring together the original movie (with Christoper Lambert) and the Highlander series. They (wisely, I might add) pretty much completely ignore Highlander 2 and 3. They pick up from the end of the first movie and, …
Enron
If you are like me, the story of Enron and its executives were just little snipets of information you heard on the evening news. Yes, someplace out in Texas many people were losing their jobs, but it didn’t touch me personally, so why should I pay attention?
However, after …
Columbia House DVD
I had a very bad experience with Columbia House’s DVD club. Through this club, you are offred a certain number of DVDs at a discount as long as you buy a set amount of DVDs at regular price within a set amount of time. I signed up through a …

Hairspray movie
I saw the original version of Hairspray with Ricki Lake on it. It made her a star. So when I found out that it was going to have a remake, I was very excited and saw it again. For me, the new Hairspray is way better than the original. …
Memento movie
The beginning of Memento did little to impress me. It was confusing and I was concerned from the start that it just wasn’t going to be my kind of movie. The film stars Guy Pearce as Leonard, who is suffering from short-term memory loss and is after …
“Up in the Air” (2009 Film)
“Up in the Air” the 2009 film starring George Clooney, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick proved to be not only a touching tale of finding the meaning of how to spend your life, but a depressing realization that sometimes it doesn’t work out as planned when you give yourself …
Awake movie
Normally, when I watch a thriller, I find myself getting a bit bored at some point. After all, the thrills part of it will only last so long.
That wasn’t the case with the movie Awake. That’s because you have a good combination of thriller and mystery.
Hayden Christensen plays a …
Feature Film “The Reaping”
I first saw this film when it came on tv. The subject seemed interesting and although I am not a Hillary Swank fan in any way I decided to give it a try because the plot sounded really different. Hillary plays a woman who was once a …
The Devil Wears Prada
I was a bit bored last night because the baby was awake and I couldn’t seem to find anything on TV. So, I ended up going to one of our movie channels and watching the Devil Wears Prada once again.
You know what, this movie gets worse every time I …
Death Note
I love Asian movies; I liked mostly the horror movies, the likes of “The Shutter, “The Eye”, among others. It was just recently that my brother has downloaded an anime series called the death note. It was a bit long, too long for me to actually sit down and …
17 Again (2009) film
I have just came back from the theater having watched this film, I must let you know , all my friends and I laughed our lungs out through out the length of the movie, surely what we did might have disturbed those sitting around us. Well, I was really …

I am reviewing the movie, Beyond the Grave, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Barnaby and Sergeant Troy. This movie was made in 2000, was produced by Brian-True-May, and is based off the novel written by Caroline Graham.
In this film, the setting takes place, a majority …
As Good As It Gets movie
I am not much of a drama type person, but, this movie is one of the very few drama films that holds a special place in my heart. Jack Nicholson’s characters are always lovable whether good or bad, and in the film it was kinda both at the same …
