Rollin’ Plains movie
Rollin’ Plains from 1938 is your traditional cow man versus the sheep man movie. This is something we’ve seen dozens, perhaps hundreds of times over the years, but back in ‘38 it wasn’t quite so old hat as yet.
The western was a musical one, featuring the singing cowboy …
Death Note, Netflix movie
This movie, created by Netflix, is a live action take on the anime Death Note. I will say right now that the anime version is easily one of my favorite shows, and when I heard that Netflix was creating this I was excited but didn’t really expect much from it. …
Mona Lisa Smile
I have always thought Julia Roberts acting to be very influential and contagious, in a positive way. And in Mona Lisa Smile, she suits the role that she played as a teacher in a college and the time era was during the early 1900s. My 2 favorite actresses; …
Kaw
I used to love original movies on the television station “SyFy” but I have to say most of them are starting to look like rip-offs from better known movies.
Take the one I watched yesterday for example; “Kaw.” This movie has a small town being infested with Ravens that are …
Juno
If you really enjoy watching dark comedies, then don’t miss out on watching “Juno”. This is a highly enjoyable film about a highschool student with the name of Juno, a role interpreted by Ellen Paige, who discover that she is pregnant after having sex with her best friend Paulie …
Dead and Breakfast
I was looking for something to watch before bed last night. I wanted something along the horror movie line but also didn’t want something too scary because I didn’t want my wife having nightmares (really). After some thought, I ended up choosing the movie Dead and Breakfast.
The thing I …
Movie Click
Usually I love movies that Adam Sandler are in. He is usually really funny and always makes me laugh. I only remember laughing in one part in this movie where the kid gets hit in the face with the ball. Another thing I didn’t like about it is that …
Columbo: Strange Bedfellows movie
Columbo: Strange Bedfellows from 1995 pits brother against brother, and it’s the younger brother who loses the contest. Teddy McVeigh keeps getting into trouble and after this most recent time, big brother Graham takes matters into his own hands. A bit of murder ends his problems, so …
Blazing Saddles (1974)
I think Blazing Saddles is one of the best comedy films ever made and although people often say that ‘High Society’ is Mel Brooks’s best film, for me this is the best. This is a satirical film, which is a fact that some people seem to miss, which …
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
This was on the television the other day and I have never seen it so I decided to watch it. Honestly it didn’t live up to it’s expectations. I wasn’t entertained or interested in the movie as much as I should have been. I became bored watching the movie. …
Movie: Angels & Demons
I finally got around to watching the movie Angels & Demons last night. And, to be honest with you, that decision was based almost solely on the fact I couldn’t find anything better to watch at the time.
I have had the book this movie is based off of for …
The Fountain, Darren Aronofsky Movie
What was the essence of ‘The Fountain’, the film work of Darren Aronofsky (requiem for a Dream) is this? Search will be eternal life or melodrama about true love? I think, after witnessing film, is a combination of both and is not too bad.
Stories run parallel between Tomas (Hugh …
Sunshine Cleaning movie
As much as I love Indie movies I rarely check them out in theaters. I tend to wait for them to be released on DVD in case it turns out to be really bad. I’ve heard of Sunshine Cleaning from friends and when it first came out on DVD …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
—˜Confessions of a Shopaholic’ is a great movie for us women. I believe that many women have —˜shopaholic’ moments where we buy all kind of things and end up not using most of them like the main character of this movie interpreted by Isla Fisher.
The first thing that really …
Happy Feet Movie

Apocalypto
Apocalypto is one of the best jungle chase movies I have ever seen. It has humor, suspense, and non-stop action. It is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it at least ten times. The movie starts with a group of natives hunting a taper. A taper is …

Edge of Tomorrow (movie)
It took me three tries to watch this movie. I gave up on it the first two times because I was tired and irritated and didn’t have the patience to wait for it to get to the point. On the third time however, when I wasn’t feeling so tired I …
“Two Thousand Maniacs” (1964 Film)
In the early ’60s, screenwriter and director Herschell Gordon Lewis created what became known as the “blood trilogy”- three overly-gory films that single-handedly created the “splatter” sub-genre of horror. 1964’s Two Thousand Maniacs succeeded Blood Feast as the second installment to this classic trilogy. In my opinion this is …
Ghostbusters (2016 Comedy Movie)
Despite all the harshness and negativity surrounding the 2016 Ghostbusters remake, I was probably one of the few persons who actually couldn’t wait to see what it would be like. I was in a terrible mood when I ended up watching it fairly recently too, but you now what? When …
The Glimmer Man (1996)
Steven Seagal stars as Jake Cole, a for Intelligence Agent known as the Glimmer Man for apparently being able to move so fast that his victims could tell he was there until he was upon them A glimmer before they did. Cole leaves the Agency after finding new religion …
The Wild (movie)
To look at The Wild from a technical standpoint, the animation here was just fine. But from a story standpoint, it was hard for me to differentiate between The Wild, Lion King and Madagascar. All deal with the same issues roughly, especially The Wild and Lion King. Both deal …
Forever Mine movie
I remember that I watched the movie Forever Mine starring Joseph Fiennes, Gretchen Mol and Ray Liotta in the lead roles an year ago on cable. Forever mine is a drama and has some gripping moments which are really interesting to watch. It is a good movie, though …
Katie Leung as Cho Chang
I still don’t understand why JK Rowling had insisted that the actress to play Cho Chang had to be an ‘unknown’. There are a lot of Asian actresses around who would have been perfect for the role. I think they made a mistake in choosing her. Aside from not …
Film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Dazzling, sadistic, moving and creepy, there are far more adjectives to describe Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory than there are golden tickets for Charlie (the character that the original story by Roald Dahl was named for) to find while devouring chocolate bars.
Poor Charlie, while being poor economically …
Open Season (2006)

The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992 Film)
One of my favorite Christmas films of all time is the 1992 “The Muppets Christmas Carol”. I was a fan of the Muppets as a child and seeing them in a film playing out the roles that I know all too well of the Christmas Carol was really wonderful. …
Role Models
Role Models is the latest comedy starring Paul Rudd, who actually co wrote and produced the film. The movie is advertised as a comedy similar to 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, which also stars Paul Rudd, but it isn’t as funny as those other movies.
Paul Rudd and …
Erin Brokovich Movie
Starring Julia Roberts (as Erin Brokovich) and Albert Finney, this movie is based on the true story of Erin Brokovich-Ellis (who makes a special appearance in the film ~ watch for her, as a waitress named, ironically, Julia). Aaron Eckhart is also in the film.
I loved this movie. …
Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set
The Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set is a three DVD set that includes just five Columbo episodes. It’s not much, but that’s all of the movies that aired in 1989.
I don’t like how the DVDs are set up, however. Universal isn’t known for providing quality …
Valkyrie movie
Valkyrie is a film in relation to the rise and fall of Hitler and Germany. The movie could be interesting or emotional for those that were a part of the Hitler movement. If you were a part of that you might feel somewhat emotional or offended by reliving the …

Mall Cop
Paul Blart Mall Cop is a hilarious comedy starring Kevin James. This is overall the funniest movie I’ve seen in awhile. I love Kevin James because of his weight but also he’s a funny comedian and actor. He does well for the movie. I really enjoy watching this …

Casablanca movie
Classic love triangle, memorable lines, told against an exotic backdrop of French Morocco. These elements served the artists well back in 1942, and have stood the test of time. Casablanca is a treasure among great films.
Anything Bogie steps into is going to come out shining like the North Star. …
Weather Man: movie
Weather Man, starring Nicholas Cage, was released in number of years ago and was not highly successful in the box office. Perhaps this was because it was such a “different” kind of movie. It wasn’t quite a comedy, though it had some funny parts, and it wasn’t …
Watch Berserk Now! (anime)
And, the top pick of over 100 anime series is…
DUNN DUNN DUNN…!
Berserk.
Do you like action?
Great art?
Unpredictable plots?
This is it.
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 …
He Knows Youre Alone (movie)
I think that there are two types of slasher movie fans. These are those who like gore, and those who seem to watch slasher movies mostly for the thrill of it. Nevertheless, after watching the 1980 slasher film “He Knows You’re Alone” twice, I do not think that either …
Code Name: The Cleaner (2007)

They Call it Murder movie
They Call it Murder, a 1971 TV film, had a nice opening that I rather loved. The opening credits included a still photo and an action scene of each of the main stars as their name popped up. I applaud the director, Walter Graumann, for this. …
The Pagemaster
This movie is so much fun! It was made in 1994 and stars Christopher Lloyd and Macaulay Culkin, with other well known actors lending their voices and talents to the film, including Whoopi Goldberg.
When the movie begins and ends, it’s live action. But, for the …
Far Cry, film by Uwe Boll
Uwe Boll is not the best choice when it comes to video game movie adaptations. His track record is bad (I thought Postal was good) but some how he still gets the rights to these video games and makes them into films. Far Cry is the video game based …
Gladiator Movie (2000)
Gladiator is a movie that came out in 2000 that stars Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius, a Roman soldier who is loyal to the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Marcus is murdered by his son Commodus who tries to kill Maximus but he survives and is captured by slavers …
FengShui Movie
This is yet another great movie (a horror movie) that is 100% Filipino made. I love this movie because it sent me chills to my bones and I think even though this movie is quite old already, many people still haven’t forgotten about it because it is really one …
Blades of Glory, Will Speck & Josh Gordon Movie

Jason X
Cast:
Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees), Lexa Doig (Rowan), Lisa Ryder (Kay-Em 14), Jonathan Potts (Prof Lowe), Melyssa Ade (Janessa), Peter Mensah (Sgt Brodski)
The only thing I like about this show is Jason Voorhees in the year 2445. This is quite refreshing they could not kill him off …
Creep (2014 horror film)
This was easily one of my all time favorite horror films I have ever seen. I feel that the camera work and the acting from Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice were simply amazing. If you are someone who enjoys found footage style films, you’ll enjoy this one a lot. In …
