Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is just a fabulous movie, rich in theme and substance. No matter how many times I watch this 1967 classic, it still touches my soul.
The performances just can’t be matched. Hepburn and Tracy, in their last coupling together on film, are dynamic, …

The movie “Happy Accidents” should be a mix of old time romance and fantasy so that to attract both women and men to the cinema. The end result of this movie is that to achieve a lousy movie that doesn’t seem to go any where. What is incredible about …

My fiance and I recently decided to sign up for Netflix. As you may know, it is a DVD rental service. You pick out which DVDs you want from the website (there is a massive list), and they send them to you. The number they send …

“Daredevil” is a 2003 movie starring Ben Affleck as Daredevil, The Man Without Fear. Daredevil is my all-time favorite Marvel Comics superhero, and I watched this movie the first time with high hopes. My high hopes were dashed by the first viewing, but I probably still like …

Blue Hawaii is one of my favorite Elvis Presley movies. Part of it is because of the beautiful scenery, part is due to the musical score, part is due to a decent plot, and part is due to Elvis himself.
I’ve been to Hawaii and to the hotel where …

I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …

Few films are as wildly inventive as Tim Burton’s manic masterpiece Beetlejuice.

I just watched the happening last night from a download. The movie started in Central Park New York. From the very beginning of the movie, it freaked me out. I could not look when the girl suddenly took the chopsticks out of her hair then stick it in to …

“Father of the Bride” is a movie starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and Kimberly Williams as the father, the mother, and the soon-to-be bride, respectively. It is apparently a remake of the movie by the same name from the 1950s that I have never watched.
Pros: Steve Martin was …

Tropic Thunder is hilarious. There’s really no other way to put it. It’s vulgar and borderline offensive at points but if you can get through that you’ll have a blast watching this movie.
It opens with some “advertisements” of the products from the various characters. Our theater …

I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Strangler’s Wood, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This film was made in 1999, was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based on the novels written by author Caroline Graham.
Strangler’s Wood is a movie that revolves around the mysterious …

A musical with a dark twist…Stunningly horrific…On your edge, nail biting…
Dumbest movie I have ever seen in my whole life. C’mon, what were the diretors thinking. Don’t waste your time people, just look at the name and walk away. This film was never meant to be made.
Rating: 1

I have heard so many outrageous things said about the Twilight movie, and from people who haven’t even watched it. They have said that Edward Cullen isn’t a real vampire, that he’s a wimpy vampire, that he’s a pretty boy, and pretty much any other ridiculous thing that one …

I recently had an opportunity to take my daughter to the Shriner’s Circus when they were holding it here in Beaver Dam.
While not the best circus I have ever attended, I will say it was a bit better than expected.
When I took my daughter to the Dodge County Fairgrounds, …

As soon as I watched the trailer for the movie Project Almanac it was easy for me to determine that it wasn’t going to be very good. However since I’m generally unable to resist movies about time travel I decided to watch it. While it did live up to my …

The A Dog’s Breakfast DVD is pretty terrific. If you’re a fan of David Hewlett or this movie specifically, I’ll start at the top by saying you’ll want to own this DVD.
A Dog’s Breakfast is a quirky independent film, but it’s an entertaining one as well. It …

I took a very long time to watch the movie “Rockstar” since I always seemed to miss it whenever it would be broadcast on a television channel. In fact, I never even saw it being broadcast on a local television channel even once. However, two years ago was the …

While this movie brought back the original characters as well as the same actors who played them, it was just lacking in the area of what I was looking for in a sequel to the first movie. It had all of the chemistry and potential for the greatness of …

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 …

If you read the description on the back of the box, the movie Space Camp probably will sound like something so far fetched it isn’t worth watching. But, resist that desire to put it back on the shelf and rent it anyway.
Of all the 80s science fiction films to …

Serenity is a great movie but most of the people who have seen it either love it or hate it. Serenity is my favorite movie and was made as a follow up to the series Firefly by Joss Whedon that I love. Firefly was only shown for a few …
