Plan 9 From Outer Space
This movie is considered one of the worst of all time. Maybe THE worst of all time. It’s directed by the worst director of all time, Ed Wood. So many people hated this movie when it came out in the 1950s. All I have to say is this: I …
Premium Rush movie
“Premium Rush” is about bicycle messengers working in Manhattan. The messengers seem to have an embedded code of the area: They are seen rushing past stoplights; riding against the heavy New York traffic; hurling themselves and their transport over all types of barriers and seemingly not knowing …
The Scout (Movie)
My wife was taking a shower last night and my oldest daughter was in bed so it was just me and the baby for a while. I couldn’t do much while holding her so I flipped through the channels and came across the 1994 movie The Scout on Fox …
Netflix
This is the best on-line movie rental program ever!! Even BlockBuster can’t come close to this. We love the selection of movies on DVD from old black and white silent to today’s current movies. TV shows that we grew up with and miss, since we think …
I’m not there - Bob Dylan
This movie is a very abstract and interesting one and if you’re into Bob Dylan, you won’t be disappointed. Theres a few different characters which represent different aspects of dylans life. Theres the Wandering Child, the troubled Relationship, The Aloof/Distant Bob, and the Star/Media Bob. This movie starts off …

Women Are Like That movie
Women Are Like That is a film from 1938 that starred Kay Francis and Pat O’Brien. In spite of O’Brien’s presence, I found this film to be one big boring waste of time. I actually watched it and other movies one day on TCM. They were …
The Daughters of Joshua Cabe movie
I love The Daughters of Joshua Cabe. It was inventive and fun and a huge pleasure to watch. It’s a lighthearted western that while predicable is highly entertaining.
Buddy Ebsen is Joshua Cabe, and he needs family fast to protect his land, which under new homesteading laws is …
Movie Christina’s House
Christina’s House is the kind of movie that I shouldn’t like, but somehow I do. It’s the movie that I keep telling my friends to watch, even though they’ve seen it and hated it. I have to admit that the movie is pretty cheesy, but I still somehow find …
Saw IV
Saw IV was directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, and this time wasn’t produced by James Wan, but by Mark Burg and Oren Koules. The film was released like the others, just one year after the last around Halloween in 2007. The film plot is based on Jigsaw leaving messages …

127 Hours: Movie
127 Hours is a film I thoroughly enjoyed upon first viewing, but I’m not quite sure it is a film that can be watched on repeat.
I liked the fact that it was based on a true story and loved the story itself; it’s such a testament to the man …
The Canterville Ghost (movie)
I’ve always been fairly fascinated with the actress Neve Campbell, especially after I saw her in movies such as the “Scream” franchise and “The Craft”. She seemed to be a familiar face in the late nineties to the early 2000s, and I know believe some of that had to …
The Lone Ranger (movie)
I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Lone Ranger” some time earlier on this year, but there was something about it that did not make me interested in seeing the movie, despite the fact that the actor Johnny Depp was playing a main character. I figured out …
Shutter Movie
Shutter was a 2007 horror movie starring Rachel Taylor and Joshua Jackson. The two play a newly married couple who move to Tokyo for the husband’s job. He loves to photograph people and places and even his new wife. When she starts taking pictures, she notices something strange in …
George Romero’s Land of The Dead
This is a very underrated movie. Most zombie movies are all about gore and blood. This movie isn’t just a typical zombie movie though. In this movie, the zombies get smart and start to adapt. They begin living as if they were still alive, establishing communities of the living …
Perry Mason: The Case of the Heartbroken Bride movie
For me, the bride in Perry Mason: The Case of the Heartbroken Bride was too pouty and snooty, even though we know she’s innocent because Perry is defending her. I just didn’t like her look. In fact, the entire opening bit at the wedding of Perry’s old …
The X-Files Fresh Bones Episode
“Fresh Bones” was the 39th episode of the popular 90s American television series “The X-Files”. It I also the 15th episode of the popular series from the show’s second season. I just watched this episode recently on the Sci-Fi cable television channel, and thought that this was one …
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Movie
I have never played, seen or experienced Final Fantasy in any way shape or form until Advent Children came out and WOW!! This is the film based on the seventh game and it was amazing.
This movie had everything a person needs to enjoy a film and this was a …
Little Miss Sunshine
Typically I wait until after the Oscars have passed to start diving into the nominated (and winning) films. Little Miss Sunshine is a movie packed with an inviting cast and some pretty hilarious dialogue. Following a family on their quest to enter their daughter in the …
Scenes of a Sexual Nature
I watched this film, very oddly named, Scenes of a Sexual Nature, on DVD last night. I have had high hopes for this film since first hearing about it a couple of years ago, as it features a strong British cast including Catherine Tate, Ewen McGregor and Hugh Bonneville …
Movie Rundown
The Rock and Sean William Scott play in this movie as the two main characters. They are really good together in this movie, very funny together also. There were two parts in the movie that I thought were really funny. The rest of the movie was also funny but …
Thirteen Ghosts
The movie formula for Thirteen Ghosts works for me. I love the plot and though it’s a bit nonsensical to see these ghosts lurking with their weird designs and features, but it’s still a bonus to watch this.
I felt that this movie is like one of its …
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
This is going to be one of those movies that you will be quoting from for the rest of your life. I promise you. I remember back in the day when it first came out and I thought it was hilarious. I thought I was the only one who …
Suspect Zero (R, 2004) movie
I had this film in my Netflix queue, and finally purchased it somewhere else before viewing it. I really wish I had seen the movie first, or I would not have bought it. As much as I like Carrie-Anne Moss, I simply found her role in …
Movie Thunderball
Thunderball with Sean Connery and Claudine Auger.
This is one of the earlier James Bond sequels and therefore features the super handsome Sean Connery in the lead. It does lack some of the refined touched that we came to enjoy in the newer sequels such as …
Something to Talk About (starring Julia Roberts)
No woman would like it when she finds out her husband has been having an affair. That’s what happens to Julia Roberts, character, Grace in the movie Something to Talk About. Her husband in this movie is acted by Dennis Quaid and be prepared for a tissue box …

Re-Animator movie
The cult favorite among many people is a very gore-filled comedy about a young medicine student who gets involved in the most horrific way of making dead bodies come back to life. The film is very bizarre and the violence just seem to pop out of nowhere, just like …
King Arthur
This movie is based on historical facts behind the Arthurian legends (or at least so its creators claim). If you are into King Arthur, Excalibur, and the Knights of the Round Table, you will probably enjoy this attempt to create a historical portrait of Arthur. According to the movie, …
Changeling
This is a must see for anybody that’s intrigued by anything that’s based on true life events. Knowing that, took the movie to a whole new level for me. It was one of the best movies I have seen in awhile and was so good that I couldn’t get …
Boogie Nights movie
Boogie Nights with Mark Wahlberg, Bert Reynolds, Julianne Moore, Don Cheadle, and William H. Macy.
This insight into the porno movie industry was the type of movie that you can see many times. Beneath this simple story lies many complex subplots that are hidden at …
One of Us (2017 Movie)
One of Us is a horror, drama mystery film directed by Blake Reigle. It actually feels more like a thriller rather than a horror film as there is nothing horrifying or scary about it.
The story starts off with journalist, Melanie receiving a call for help from her friend, Haley.
Melanie …
Prince of Persia (2010)
When I told people I would be going to see Prince of Persia in theaters, they always accused me of going to see it just to watch a muscular bodied, cute faced Jake Gyllenhaal on a huge screen. I would defend myself by saying that I had actually played …
Big Trouble In Little China
The eighties are definitely gone and not coming back, but some movie magic we got from that decade will live on forever. Among many classic movies that the eighties gave us was Big Trouble In Little China, an instant classic. Coming out in eighty-six, Big Trouble in Little China …
The Bridge To Terabithia
First of all, I liked this movie. It is not just a typical children’s movie because it really touched my heart. I think there are so many lessons that can be learned from this movie like improving self-confidence, importance of friendship, and believing in talents. The actors are all …
Anne of Green Gables (movie)
One of my favorite movies (second behind its sequel) is Anne of Green Gables. It was produced in 1985, and Megan Follows starred as Anne. Colleen Dewhurst played as Marilla Cuthbert, and Richard Farnsworth played Matthew Cuthbert. It was based on a book by Lucy Montgomery.
I …

Footloose movie
When I was younger I wanted to watch the movie “Footloose” very badly. I was a small child in the early nineties, and would sometimes see the movie going on some Sundays on one of the local channels, but ironically I never got to see it until I was …
Pleasantville (fantasy comedy drama movie)
After finally being able to watch it, I believe that the movie Pleasantville is one of those that sticks with you for a very long time, not just because it’s interesting but because of what it represents socially in terms of human evolution.
In the movie, the teenage twins David …
Movie Monsters Inc.
Mike (Billy Crystal), a huge eyeball, and Sulley (John Goodman), a large blue-furred beast, work together at a factory known as Monster Inc. in a dimension where everyone is a monster and the screams of frightened children fuel their power supply. Sulley is known as the top scarer at …
Reflecting Skin
A hypnotic film with Viggo Mortensen about him coming home after a long time to take care of his younger brother. The Reflecting Skin is the closest thing to cinematic poetry I have ever seen. The boundaries between dream and reality is completely erased here and the only thing …
Loser movie
A boy named Paul is what most people would call a “hill-Billy”, a goofy figure from the country who doesn’t really fit in with the city slickers. He’s attending college, but most of the time his room mates just make fun of him. Pretty much everything in Paul’s life …
The movie I am Legend
I am one of those people who love scary or mysterious movies. You know what I’m talking about the “what if this happened movies.” I love all kind of movies, but I was really wanting to see the “I am Legend” movie with Will Smith. I must mention that …
Life of Pi (movie)
A couple years ago, I had to read the book “Life of Pi” for a literature class. I had heard one or two other students say that it was a very good book, but whenever I had gotten to read it for myself, I wasn’t anywhere near as impressed …
The Wicker Man Remake
This is, without a doubt, one of the worst movies I have seen in my entire life. Of course, at the same time, it is also one of the funniest, solely because it is one of the most pitiful excuses for entertainment I have ever encountered. Which is a …
12 Years A Slave (Movie 2013)
“12 Years A Slave” is a 2013 Biography, drama and history movie directed by Steve McQueen. I found the title of this movie to be very attractive making me imagine about some kind of slavery story. I didn’t recognized any of the main actors in the movie except Brad …
Phone Booth (starring Colin Farrell)
Have you ever heard the saying one phone call is all it takes to make a difference? Well, I watched Phone Booth before and this pretty much sums up what I just said. Watching this movie before, after the show had ended, I thought that it is pretty …
