The Fabulous Dorseys movie
As a child, I remember watching The Fabulous Dorseys, a 1947 motion picture, all the time. It was constantly on late night, and as a night owl, it was something I saw quite frequently. With the advent of cable, I haven’t seen it even once.
The Fabulous Dorseys …

Unknown (2011 Movie)
The combination of Liam Neeson and so many comparisons to 2008’s “Taken,” I was more excited about 2011’s “Unknown” than I should have been based on the preview. Although I wasn’t really excited about the movie’s premise, I was still hopeful. It was a really big letdown.
There’s no …

The Boss of it All
The Boss of it All is a movie that I love watching. It is very goofy, and makes fun of the corporate industry, and what really goes on inside. It targeted and has a sarcastic message to those bosses who have it all, and making wry decisions.

Salt: A Film by Philip Noyce (2010)
With all the campaigns splashed in the internet about this film, it’s hard to ignore not watching it. I went out with a bunch of friends earlier and had no choice but to see this movie. Salt tells the story of a CIA official named Evelyn Salt. …
Clash Of the titans
In my opinion Clash of the titans is not all it is hyped up to be by all the reviews, it didn’t seem as enticing as most action/adventure movies seem to be. It is about mythology so you would expect there to be a lot of fighting, also it …
Flightplan
Flightplan is an suspenseful thriller that tries to keep the viewer guessing what will happen next during the entire movie. The movie begins a little slow to set up the plot, and some people may be turned off by its slow beginning. After the plot has been defined the …
Message in a Bottle
Message in a Bottle is a story that every one will love because i do. It’s really strange how things happen specially when it comes to love. I really like the story because it was different from the other. A guy who throws a bottle with a love notes …
Inside Access Jeff Gordon DVD

So, you might have guessed, but a hobby of mine is watching rare and mainstream anime. I came across it by accident. Picked it up on a rainy day and …
The Day After Tomorrow
After watching The Day After Tomorrow, I have come to believe in goodness again. This movie has a great storyline, telling us how man is corrupt and only long for their self-interest and that is why the earth must die. I am not going to ruin the movie for …
10th Kingdom Movie
A fairytale story about some teenagers finding themselves in the world of Snow White, Cinderella and lots of other fairytale characters when walking through Central Park in New York.
A film clearly intended for young teenagers, but if you look at it in that way I actually have to admit …
“Pacific Rim” movie
The geek community had high hopes for this movie. Having giant robots fighting giant monsters seems like a guaranteed good time, but the fact that Guillermo Del Toro was helming the project only added to the hype.
I have to admit, Del Toro’s been on a hot streak lately. …
The Matrix Reloaded movie
The Matrix Reloaded is the second installment in the Matrix trilogy. To be honest, I do not think I enjoyed it as much as the first one. It seems like some of the excitement died out, or maybe there was just so much fuzz about the start …

Avatar 3D (2009, James Cameron)
I love this film.
I had heard a few grumbles about the ‘lack of plot’ and that watching 3D was tiring and made some people feel sick, and that the effects ruled the film and became too much.
Stuff and nonsense.
First of all, yes - the 3D glasses are not …
21 (movie)
Don’t make the mistake to relegate the movie “21″ as just another movie focused on poker, because you will make one big error. The movie “21″ has the right recipe to attract audience from different generations to watch it because it includes drama, romance and hype.
The story of the …

Casino Royale Movie
I went to see Casino Royale on New Year’s Day. I think it is the first Bond film I’ve seen at the movies since 1966. I was a little disappointed. I think this is for two different reasons.
My favorite James Bond was played by Sean Connery. He was witty, …

The Jerk (1979) Movie
The Jerk (1979) was one of my favorite films when I was a teenager in the 1980s and I still catch it occasionally on television today because it is guaranteed to make me laugh. It stars the brilliant Steve Martin in the lead role as Navin, a total …
Meet the Parents, movie
Ben Stiller brings this familiar romp to life along with a strong supporting caste including Robert De Niro. I Thought this film captured some of the better elements that occur when meeting a fiancée’s in-laws for the first time, and it brought something different to a genre where I …
Hot Shots Part Deux
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sequel to the movie Hot Shots; Hot Shots Part Deux. And I have to admit, after seeing it again this morning, it’s as good as I remember it being.

When Love Begins movie
Last year 2008 my girlfriend asked me to join her in watching When Love Begins. I knew that it was going to be another chick-flick, feel-good movie wherein you have a fairy tale ending. But being the nice boyfriend that I was, not to mention sweet, I agreed. Turns out …
Ghoulies movie
My wife and I were feeling a bit nostalgic this past weekend and picked up the movie Ghoulies to watch. We both remember watching this movie as kids but couldn’t remember much from it (other than the one popping out of the toilet) and figured it would be worth …
The Europeans (1979)
This 1979 movie has failed my expectations, big time. It is based on a novel by Henry James, and the story is set in 1850s � my favorite timeframe, so I thought I was going to love it. A wealthy American family lives a comfortable life in their house …

“The Purple Heart” Movie
Although I’m not a militant person for some reason I’m particularly fond of war movies. Naturally I look forward to whatever movie festivals are aired on television for Veterans Day. Although many of the movies are often the standards such as the excellent “The Longest Day,” the engaging “The …
A face to die for
You know, sometimes the best movies out there are those that are made for television. Proof of that can be found in the 1996 made-for-TV movie “A Face to Die For.”
This movie has Yasmine Bleeth starring as a disfigured woman who is conned by her boyfriend into committing a …
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013) movie
