3:10 to Yuma (Original-1957)
With the removie of due out on video any day I thought I’d prepare by watching and reviewing the original movie done fifty years ago. “3:10 to Yuma” was a Columbia Picture, shot in black and white, something I really like, and lasting 91 minutes, also something I like. …
Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Ready to Rumble movie
Back in the 1980s, you could make a movie about Pro Wrestling and people might buy into the storylines. But, with most people today realizing that the matches they see on television and pay-per-view are pre-determined, trying to make a modern movie about the “sport” just doesn’t work.
That’s why …

When we rented the movie Evan Almighty, I didn’t know what to expect. The orginal film, Bruce Almighty, was pretty good but sequels aren’t always as good as the original.

Nacho Libre (2006 Film)
Some people might say that the 2006 film starring Jack Black called “Nacho Libre” was rather ridiculous and pointless. I for one, am not that person. While I can see why others would come to the conclusion of naming this film “pointless” I think that they are missing what …

Throw Mama from the Train (1987)

Ultimate Avengers 2 Movie
The sequel to Marvel’s first Ultimate Avengers movie is, in my humble opinion, superior to the first. Having established our characters at this point, Ultimate Avengers 2 is allowed to take a bit more time advancing a plot.

Green Mansions: A Film by Mel Ferrer (1959)

Meet the Spartans DVD
I recently borrowed the DVD of the movie “Meet the Spartans” from a friend and watched it with my family. I must say this has to be the second movie after “You Don’t Mess with Zohan” which I would consider as a crappy movie.
