Music Box
Only Laurel and Hardy could take a premise like delivering a piano to someone’s home and turn it into a forty-five minute film. It would take stars of their comedic stature to pull it off, and they do it nicely. Stan and Ollie are deliverymen. They are hired by …

Underworld (2003)
When I first picked this movie up, I thought it sounded interesting as it was about a relationship between a vampire and a werewolf (supposedly the two were in love). However it disappointed me almost right away. The opening sequence of this film is nothing but mindless action and …

Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who (2008)
Let me first say that our last name is HORTON, so this movie is definitely a treat, especially for the kids. They love the fact their last name is in a movie. It’s a treat for us adults who love Jim Carrey AND Steve Carell, who were both in …

Vicky, Christina, Barcelona
I watched ‘Vicky, Christina, Barcelona’ last night and could certainly see glimmerings of Woody Allen’s philosophical depth and cynicism in the interactions between the three lead roles - Vicky, Christina and Juan.
The locales in Spain are beautifully shot and I like the narrative style of the film. The threesome …
You, John Jones!
You, John Jones! is a great little film short with a stellar cast. James Cagney appears as John Jones with Ann Sothern as his wife and Margaret O’Brien as his daughter. O’Brien is just adorable and so passionate and intense as she recites a patriotic piece.
This film …

Herbie Fully Loaded Movie

Even though sometimes the remake can actually be better than the original thought of the movie that was produced, but sometimes and more times than less, the original is still the best. This movie is about a boy who was always being bullied and he found a great friend …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I picked up the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a movie that I figured would be halfway entertaining but would lack when compared to other X-Men films. It turns out it was one of the better movies I’ve seen.
Hugh Jackman is great as Wolverine, a mutant with the ability …
Limitless Movie

Meet Me in St. Louis movie

Sunshine Movie
I haven’t seen any Sci-Fi movie like this one, it’s an adventure and a thriller movie as well and you can really learn a lot about just concentrating on the film itself, like you can learn a lot about basic astronomy and the solar system, and things like so …

Missing movie
From 1982, Missing tells a true story that isn’t always easy to watch. It’s an intense drama that can challenge one’s emotions. It’s a well written production, however, and does tell a story. I hate to term it entertaining, considering the subject matter, but the truth …

London to Brighton (2006) Movie

Set roughly 20 years …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith A Movie

Superman Returns (2006)

As shown …

17 Again movie
I highly anticipated the comedy “17 Again”; I’m not a huge Zac Efron fan, but the movie looked cute. Unfortunately, it didn’t deliver.
I liked the main character’s best friend; he was a millionaire nerd whose brilliant mind earned him a ridiculous amount of wealth, but whose lack of social …

Vampires Suck (Movie, 2010)
