Untraceable Movie
I thoroughly enjoyed Untraceable even though the reviews I read were poor at best. There were a few major problems I had with the movie, but given the cast and the overall plot line, it was something that I could actually get interested in. I usually let a movie …
Robocop (1987 movie)
Gracefully working its way unto the silver screen, then to VHS, eventually making its way to DVD…Robocop has affixed itself as one of the greatest movies of all time.
Whether you have seen it before all the way back in 1987 or whether you see it today, none can deny …
Movie: Nine Dead
I have had the film Nine Dead loaded on my Netflix player for a few weeks now. But, I did not take the time to watch it until last night because I suspected it would be a terrible rip off of the Saw movies or some other movie I …
Enemy At The Gates
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 …
Clueless with Alicia Silverstone
This film is definitely a chick flick. And not only that, it’s definitely for high school girls. While it was made quite a few years ago, it’s still funny to think about the two girls and their interesting perspectives on life and what is important in life. Especially for …
We Are Marshall Movie
We Are Marshall starts out with the tragedy of Marshall’s football team in 1970 (for those of you who don’t know, the plan crashed killing all but four of the football team, as well as most of the coaches and football staff, some parents, and fans, a total of …
Striptease Movie
I am going to be honest Striptease is a pretty boring movie to say the least. The movie has a really slow and boring story. This is probably the worst movie ever made. I just don’t know what is wrong with this movie. I mean it’s about some girl played …
Going my way
I have watched the movie ‘Going my way’. The main actor is Bing Crosby. The movie is not so interesting. Crosby plays the role of Father O’Malley. Now this priest has been given an order by the Bishop to go to a particular church to replace the priest over …
It! The Terror From Beyond Space, MGM/UA Midnite Movies DVD
It! The Terror From Beyond Space is one of several science fiction movies made in the Fifties that have become archetypes of future SF blockbusters, most notably Alien.
Produced in 1958, the movie takes place in the future, 1973 to be precise! The first manned trip to Mars …
I am Legend movie
Frankly speaking my expectations were higher from this film of Will Smith, but this one really disappointed me. The story goes like this:
It is New York city, in 2012, completely devastated and ruined by an incurable disease three years ago, and Robert is the only one who somehow survived …
American Gangster The Movie
American Gangster is a movie that I went to this last weekend and I spent $22 for me and my girlfriend to see this over hyped movie and I was very dissapointed in it. The movie stars Denzel and so I thought it would be good but I found …
The Searchers
The Searchers, directed by John Ford, is a classic for all to see. This movie also stars John Wayne and you just can’t find star power like that anywhere else. The movie is about Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) and his nephew, not by kin, Martin Paulie (Jeffrey …
The Dark Knight Rises
Read on at the risk of spoilers.
For those of you who believed that ‘The Avengers’ and ‘The Amazing Spiderman’ would be strong competition for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ I’m sorry, but you could not be more wrong. The other two films were good, but this was on a whole …
The X Files: I Want To Believe
It’s been a few years since Mulder and Scully apparently called case closed on their last X-File, but you can’t keep a pair like that down for long.
Finally, after nine hit and miss years of the popular sci-fi drama; the franchise resumes with this latest big screen offering, …
Regarding Henry movie
This movie, Regarding Henry, is one I enjoy watching a great deal. It stars Harrison Ford as a very unlikable lawyer who cares more about image and his dining room table than he does for his wife and daughter. Annette Bening is the wife, and Mikki Allen …

Last Vegas (2013 Film)
Last Vegas is a comedy film I was eager to see after viewing the trailer for it one evening. I wasn’t hesitant in watching it due to all the veteran actors that would be starring in the film. I just knew that a film with Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, …
Brazil movie
A highly imaginative film by visionary and original filmmaker Terry Gilliam. The story takes place in a future society governed by fascists. The character of Sam Lowry dreams of a way to escape this terror, so he goes on the journey of his life to discover something new. This …
Raising Waylon movie
I saw Raising Waylon for the first time recently and was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. I say that because I’m not really a fan of the movie’s stars, Tom Gibson and Poppy Montgomery, and because it’s pretty predictable from start to finish. …
Cloverfield (2008)
Cloverfield takes place in New York City. The story is that a video camera was found at a “ground zero” site, somewhere near Central Park. On the camera, you begin to see a movie as you would watching a home video. Eventually, after an introduction to the movie to …
How To Rob A Bank Movie
When I bought this movie from the DVD store I didn’t expect a lot from it. I didn’t know the actors, never heard about the director and never heard about this movie in any reviews I have ever read before. I decided to make this a bed time movie, …
Over The Hedge Movie
Over the Hedge is more then just an animated movie about a Hedgehog. Even though it’s rated PG, I think that it is one of those movies with the type of humor in it that virtually any adult can relate to and enjoy! Some of the humor …
Babylon A.D. (2008)
This futuristic adventure that entails a mercenary contracted to deliver a young woman from the hills of a monastery to the city of New York takes the viewers on a ride like no other than you have seen before, or is it the other way around, it takes you …
Carrie (2013 movie)
Ever since the original movie was released in nineteen seventy six, there seems to have been quite a few remakes of the movie “Carrie” as well as one or two spin offs from it. The one that I’ve decided to review though was the one that was released late …

Sunshine (UR, 2007)
I watched this film with a little apprehension. I rented it primarily to see if Danny Boyle’s production would capture all the nuances of his other films that I liked. “28 Days Later”, another movie that starred Cilian Murphy–had this really eerie atmosphere that reeked of high …
The Secret DVD
I’ve studied manifestation for about 15 years and understand basic principles, but The Secret really summed manifestation up. This movie was emotional, funny and introspective. Australian Rhonda Byrne put the movie together after her father died. She read The Science of Getting Rich, which her father left to her. …

All the President’s Men Movie
About the two investigating journalists who discovered the remarkable and shocking Watergate scandal in the early 1970s, something that came on the news in the whole world afterwards.

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
I have noticed that many people who have reviewed Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen in papers and on the internet have not given it the greatest reviews. I went and saw the movie for myself and I do not completely agree with the reviews. Yes, the movie is …
Repulsion movie
Roman Polanskis masterful effort about a woman, played by the beautiful Catherine Deneuve, who step by step goes insane in here solitude. Polanski builds the suspense like only a master would be able to. The narrative is very unpredictable, almost claustrofobic, and Deneuve is excellent in the leading role. …

Murder by Television movie

Separate Lies, (R, 2005) movie
Every once in a while, I get the hankering for a good old fashioned film about love, marriage, and all that other heavy stuff. Reading the synopsis of this film, I thought that the intrigue would be deeper, that the sex scenes would be more “visually gratifying”, and …
The Killer Shrews
This is an older black and white horror movie. I’m unsure what year it was made, as I couldn’t find that information on the DVD box. It had the look of the 1950s or the 1960s to it, so it may be from one of those eras. I had …
Batman Begins Movie

Dark Shadows by Tim Burton (2012)

Avatar movie
Alright, I’ll admit it: I’m one of the few people out there that actually didn’t go to the movie theater to see this movie. I rarely go to the theater period, mainly because I feel that it’s just so outrageously expensive. I do kind of regret not going to …
Shrek 3
I have always firmly believed that after the second part of a movie, everybody should give up bravely and look for other ideas instead of milking the movie’s earlier successes to death as can be seen in the likes of Robocop, Scream, etc but back to Shrek 3.
Last week, …
