The Fly
The Fly is a great movie. I consider this movie a horror classic. It is also a great science fiction movie. I like the whole story and plot. The Fly is about a scientist that thinks he discovered something great. But an experiment goes wrong and his DNA gets crossed …
Iron Man
To me, Iron Man is one of the top five comic book movies ever made, right up there with Superman I, Spider-man 2, and the Dark Knight. Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark and is the best “alter ego” of any of the super hero movie actors. …
Precious movie 2009
Precious is not a movie that I probably would have chosen to see, had it not won so many awards. However, it did, and I became curious and I am glad I did see it. It is a sad, yet inspiring story that will make you stop and think twice …
Letters to Juliet movie
As a guy, it’s hard to admit that I love chick flicks. If the story is really good, I actually really to like a good romance. However, over the years, romantic movies seem to have waned in quality, leaving behind the charm of movies such as Breakfast …
The Mist (2008)
Stephen King has had many of his novels and short stories adapted into film versions, but perhaps none have been as disturbing and tragic as The Mist.
In the classic Stephen King novella, first released in the book Skeleton Crew, a town faces terrifying creatures that come out of a …
I Stand Alone
What a very dark, terribly grim, and utterly nihilistic movie! This was, more or less, my initial reaction after watching Gaspar Noe’s shocking film, I Stand Alone, just recently.
Upon further reflection, though, I realized that if I were to objectively appreciate the film’s worth, I would say that it …
Saving Private Ryan
Saving Private Ryan is a movie you will want to watch over and over again. It is a unforgetable story about World War II. Tom Hanks stars as Captain John Miller who is ordered to take his men behind the enemy lines in order to save Private James Ryan. …

City of Joy film
Directed by Roland Joffe, City of Joy is a poignant film that touches the heart and even the very fabric of our souls. I’m not one who tends to enjoy a lot of in depth films that take place in other countries, but this tale of an American …
The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery movie
This movie, The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery, seemed like it would be a lot more interesting than it was. It’s a crazy set up, though, with some nonsense about adoption and motherhood. Justine Bateman stars as wife, mom, and writer Lucy Freers who turns sleuth to find the …

Under Suspicion movie
Under Suspicion is an interesting movie which keeps the viewer glued to the seat till the end scene. The scenes woven throughout the movie are very intriguing and if you miss a scene, you can not follow the pace of the movie. The speciality of the movie is that …
Elf
I’m still watching Christmas movies today, mostly because there isn’t a whole lot for me to do with everyone being sick and us being low on cash (yet again).
One movie that just came on that I haven’t seen in a while is the Will Ferrell film, Elf. I have …
The House on Sorority Row movie
I ended up watching a 1980s slasher flick called The House on Sorority Row last night. I didn’t expect it to be any good. But, it ended up being better than I thought it would be.
Basically, the film is the same as pretty much any other horror movie that …
Doomed to Die (movie)

No Country For Old Men
This is the first movie, in my opinion, since the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that will remain a classic for decades to come. There are not enough superlatives to describe this movie. Everything, EVERYTHING, is flawless in my eyes. The acting in unreal. The …
Lower City (R, 2005) movie
First and foremost I must say that you should enjoy foreign films (at least to a certain extent) before viewing this movie. Secondly, I should say that if you have seen “City of God” then you will probably enjoy this movie. And third, I must say that …
Under the Mistletoe movie
“Under the Mistletoe” is a nice, holiday movie and makes for a warm family event on any holiday, or for that matter non-holiday evening.
The film stars Michael Shanks as Kevin Harrison, a teacher and hockey coach. Michael is best known for his role as ‘Daniel Jackson’ in “Stargate …
Dan in Real Life
This is a 2007 movie and I managed to catch it on DVD only. I think that this is perhaps one of the best comedy movies that I’ve watched. The plot goes this way: Dan who is acted by Steve Carell, fall in love with this sweet girl …
Untraceable movie
Untraceable came out earlier in the year and was supposed to be a movie of the Thriller genre. I did not see the preview or trailer for this movie but I actually saw it on a whim. The poster for it made it seem like it’d be more of …

Movie Fury of the Wolfman (1973)
Fury of the Wolfman (1973)
The first disappointing Waldemar film of Paul Naschy’s career was the victim of a haphazard production schedule that saw much of the film never actually shot and padded footage from Marca Del Hombre Lobo inserted.
Pretty standard fare has Waldemar bitten by the yeti (!) …

Star Wreck (DVD)
This is a DVD collection of three “Alvin and the Chipmunks” cartoons from the 1980s. I remember watching these on Saturday morning as a kid, so it was nice to see Alvin, Simon and Theodore again in action. I particularly love their theme song, “We’re the Chipmunks”, and the …
Grease 2 movie
I like to watch “Grease 2″ I actually like this movie better than the original Grease.
This movie stars Michelle Pfieffer as Stephanie, who is the leader of the Pink Ladies and Maxwell Caulfield, who is the one trying to fit in to impress Stephanie.
In “Grease 2″ Didi Conn returns …
Silverado movie
Silverado stars Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, and Danny Glover. This is the classic cowboy western that was produced after its time and followed the successful formulas of great music, beautiful scenery, and familiar faces in supporting roles.
When the movie first appears on the …
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape 1993 movie
I did not like this movie; I found it very depressing. I heard a lot about it, and yes, Leonardo DiCaprio does an excellent portrayal of a retarded teenager, Arnie; you feel sorry for him, but even more so for those who must live with him and take care …

Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem
The second movie in the crossover film series once again pits Alien against Predator in a sequel that doesn’t deliver.
It’s hardly surprising this film doesn’t set the screen alight; the original was hardly a classic, but it’s a shame this time round that aspect that didn’t quite work in …
The Jungle Book movie
You know, I have seen the live action version of the movie The Jungle Book but this past weekend was the first time I’ve seen the cartoon version. After finally getting a chance to watch it (with my daughter) I have to say I liked the live version better.
This …
“Get Him To The Greek” (2010 film)
I’ll say right up front that I don’t much care for Russell Brand, and although his performance as British rock star Aldous Snow in 2008’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” was a good and humorous counterpoint to sad-sack lead Jason Segel, in general I find him sort of irritating-his hosting gig …

Movie: “Grandma’s Boy” (2006)
Although this film received poor reviews upon release, I have to say it’s one of my all-time favorite films. It’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s one of those movies you can watch over and over, and it’s still hilarious.
Alex (Covert) is a 35-year-old video game …

40 Days and 40 Nights
I was expecting Josh Hartnett to shine in the DVD movie, 40 Days and 40 Nights. Don’t get me wrong; Josh is a darling and he acted really well but the storyline is a real bummer for me.
It starts off with Josh character, Matt being dumped by his super …
