When the movie Zoom came out, it had two strikes against it in my opinion. First, it was about a bunch of kids with super powers; something that has been done way too many times in my opinion. Secondly, it starred Tim Allen. I like his stand up comedy. …

Admittedly, I am no huge fan of the comic book movie genre, usually, I find the over-the-top performances and plots a bit too much to swallow. However, I can honestly say that I quite enjoyed Iron Man. I like that the movie was not made to specifically pander to …

Movies draw on snippets of reality to make us closer to life itself when we watch, to condition our minds to believe. How reality can arise from a movie so clearly that it overwhelms is a rare experience. Very few movies are able to touch on that …

From 1946, Heartbeat starred Ginger Rogers as Arlette Lafron, Jean-Pierre Aumont as Pierre de Roche, Adolphe Menjou as the Ambassador, and Basil Rathbone as Professor Aristide. Having Rathbone in this role is such a hoot. That’s because the good professor teaches students how to pick pockets and …

“Freedom Writers” (2007) was released so early in 2007 that I forgot it was eligible for the upcoming Academy Awards. Apparently so did members of the Academy because it received no nominations. The 123 minute Paramount Pictures movie is in English, filmed in color, and takes place in Long …

I’ve just watched it last night and up until I wrote this review I still can’t remove all of those stunning scenes from my mind and my brain. The movie was beyond my imagination; Cameron has succeeded to combine both the reality and fantasy world, he had created “another” …

Godzilla 1954 is so much better than the American release, Godzilla 1956. Godzilla 1954 was just recently released in America for the first time ever and it is an incredible film. Unlike the butchered American version which deleted scenes considered to horrific and removed other scenes in favor of …

“Day of the Dead” (2008) is something of a remake of the original film by the same name. It’s directed by Steve Miner, who has such credits under his directorial belt as 1999’s “Lake Placid.” That should have been my first hint, though I didn’t pay attention to the …

The Deer Hunter is a 1978 war film directed by Micheal Camino, the film stars Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken and Meryl Streep. The name The Deer Hunter comes from the fact that before the movie Robert De Niro’s character Micheal likes to hunt, and takes his friends, he …

DJ Qualls is hilarious …

From 1996, The Angel of Pennsylvania Avenue was a nice little holiday film that portrays itself to be based on a story about Bernice Feagan. I was curious and did some research. It seems that Bernice didn’t even know this movie was made until it was done. …

Election with Matthew Broderick, Reese Witherspoon, and Chris Klein.
This movie had some really hot hooks that kept me in rapt attention. It was a strange type of comedy in that it was subtle, yet effective. I especially enjoyed the cast and could feel the …

So I rented Let Me In the other night and I must say this movie truly scared the hell out of me. It really did something to me I had not felt in years. I didn’t know this was a monster movie but was really surprised. It’s of a love …

I spent some time thinking about how to describe how good the movie Over the Hedge was. The best way I can think of is, it was so good, my 2-year-old actually sat quietly throughout the whole movie.
Centering around a bunch of wild animals having to cope with a …

I have never read the book The Cat in the Hat. I have read the sequel to it. But, the original is one I just have never had available to me; either as a kid or as a parent.

Nightmare Detective is part of the Dimension Extreme films and I’ve been slowly working my way through these movies a little at a time. The series is a little similar to the After Dark Horror Fest in that all the movies probably wouldn’t get much of a release without …

Alright, before you get too skeptical about the DVD title movie, Sex and Death 101, let me tell you that this movie is actually pretty harmless, minus all the ‘racy’ scenes, which I’m not interested at all. I just love the comedic storyline and here is it.

The movie Zor released in 1998. I went to watch this movie being attracted by the songs of the film. But what a stupid movie it is. Alas my money is wasted and I get a headache in return. The plot of the film is so irrelevant, stupid and …

I don’t if anyone has seen the movie the An American Haunting but, if you have then either A. you were confused as I was or B. fell a sleep! I did both these options not because I wanted to only for the reason the movie seemed to just …

The movie adaptation of a regular and popular television series. The difference between the movie and the series is that instead of using the puppets from the TV, they have replaced them with live actors to do their worst. I didn’t stutter, they really did their worst in this …

I was recently coaxed into watching this film due to there being nothing else on at the cinema and my mates were bored. I went not expecting much, and left with a surprise- this movie was brilliant.
The film centers round the exploits of Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage)in attempt to …

I am very upset with this movie for a lot of reasons. It was one not depicted in that time by any since of the word and all the so called actors were speaking perfect English. I don’t see how this could have gotten even a decent rating for …

When I was growing up, the Bad News Bears movies were very popular. So, when the remake came out staring Billy Bob Thorton, I was skeptical.
However, after watching it for the first time, I have to admit it was actually entertaining and some parts of the film were actually …

I missed the second Scorpion King movie and I have no idea how I came to watch the third - but suffice to say I didn’t go into this film with my expectations held high. The only reason I decided to give this a go was because I’d seen that …

The movie “Circus of Fear” is one of the actor Christopher Lee’s older movies. At first I got the impression from the title that it was going to be a horror film, but, instead it turned out to be more of a mystery/suspense film. Personally, even though the …

Movies have always been a source of joy, happiness and sorrow at the same time. But every once in a while comes along a movie which inspires you and makes you feel that this movie has enriched your life. For me there is no better example than shawshank redemption. …

This movie was utterly depressing. I think many couples would be quite stricken after watching this. It may be focused on married couples, but I think that the theme encompasses all relationships anywhere in the world because it tackles a very important yet often overlooked issue: communication.
The Wheelers …
