First of all: I LOVE penguins! I don’t know why, but they seem to be such happy little creatures, wherever you see them in movies, toy- shops and tv-commercials… but then, after seeing the documentary “March of the Penguins” (see separate review), I know there are not that happy …

Movie The Hunchback of the Morgue (1972)
The Hunchback of the Morgue (1972)
Easily the best non-werewolf film Spanish horror icon Paul Naschy has ever made!
And it is also his most over the top monster-mayhem spectacle!
Paul plays Goto, a misunderstood hunchback used as a tool of violence by a power mad, crazed scientist. Can Goto overcome this …
Return From Witch Mountain
Sequels, especially Disney sequels, rarely make it, and this one is no exception. Even casting greats like Bette Davis and Christopher Lee was not enough to make this film anything but blaise. This was one story that should have remained untold, leaving Escape To Witch Mountain to stand on …
Leaving Las Vegas movie
Leaving Las Vegas is probably the most tragic movie I have ever seen, but at the same time it is strangely uplifting on another level. It is the story of two broken souls that come across each other at their lowest point and see the similarity, see something in …
Escape Plan movie
In its desire to entertain the cinema methodically presents a series of jobs, making viewers experts without even requiring them to leave their comfortable armchairs.
When resources are depleting, writers create new professional backgrounds in the hope that the audience will treat their whims indulgently and will follow them enthusiastically in …

Jurassic Park
I saw this movie as a kid and since then have seen it many times with equal interest every time. It is one of the most brilliantly animated movies I have ever seen. The 3D graphics make each and every Dinosaur spring to life on the screen, and …
The Fountain (2006)
Popular casts : Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz
There are two main reasons that make me watch this movie, those are:
1. There are Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman
2. The Great Trailer and Promotion.
And The Result?
I am Totally Dissapointed.
This is about three parts of love, with the same couple but different times …
Vigilante Force movie
Vigilante Force is a movie from 1976 that featured Jan-Michael Vincent and Kris Kristofferson. It opens with sex and violence, two huge turn offs for me. I’ve seen it in passing a couple of times, when I was more into Kristofferson in his post-A Star is Born …

Movie Only You
Only You starring Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr., is a funny, charming and shamelessly romantic movie. It does not pretend to be anything other than it is, it is a movie for people who love romantic comedies, and who love the concept of romance, and believe that it …

The New Guy movie
I got bored yesterday afternoon (both kids were taking naps) so I ended up watching the movie “The New Guy” again. I think I have seen that thing about a dozen times now and have to say it is still one of the funniest movies ever.
DJ Qualls is hilarious …
Leatherheads movie
George Clooney, Rennee Zellwegger play in this movie. It’s basically about football a long time ago. It was an entertaining movie. Other than that it was just a movie. If you are looking for a good story then I don’t recommend leatherheads. If you are just looking for a …
Out movie
Out, aka: Deadly Drifter, from 1982 is, well, strange. I’m not even sure how to describe the plot, if there was a plot. This collection of scenes had a unique start in how the title was present, and I give it points for that. However, considering …
Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July
Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July is a two hour holiday movie that I enjoy. I just viewed it thi afternoon.
Rudolph and Frosty team up to help Milton, the flying ice cream man. It seems the Circus by the Sea is in trouble financially.
The evil Winterbolt …
The Last Samurai Movie
I have never appreciated The Last Samurai until it was pointed out at one of the conventions I attended recently. One of the speakers at the convention pointed out that the values and tradition upheld by these ancient Japanese warriors are significant in the building of a person’s character.
After the …
The Other (PG, 1972) movie
“The Other” is a very old film that a friend of mine told me about. It involves a little boy with a “twin” living in Sweden. What I liked about the movie is its “Wicker Man” (original) feel. The foreign land does that for the viewer. …

Hidalgo isn’t an oscar worth film nor does it do anything that spectacular, but this shouldn’t turn you away from this movie, especially if you enjoy adventure films. The story tells the story of a man and his horse and there adventure across the desert. The problem …
Far and Away movie

True Romance movie
The screenplay of this film was written by Quentin Tarantino, but it was directed by Tony Scott. The result of this got better than I personally would have expected, as it is an amazingly intense action road movie with a lot of graphical violence and a list of quality …
Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters (movie)
I might be a fairly cynical twenty-something right now, but there are some things that I find that I have not and probably never will outgrow. Two of those things are my love for superheroes and my love of fairy-tales, especially those that hail from places in Europe. When …
Bulletproof Monk
Bulletproof Monk with Seann William Scott, Chon Yun-Fat, and Jaime King.
I have seen Chow Yun-Fat in Chinese Martial Arts movies before and enjoy the peaceful smile that he exhibits while kicking butt of the bad guys. Scott, on the other hand, was an obnoxious jerk …

Pride and Prejudice, 1995
Pride and Prejudice, 1995, the mini-series, is my favorite adaptation of the Jane Austen’s classic novel. The movie is so well-done, I could go on for hours describing its merits. The script, casting, acting, costumes, music - everything is just excellent. Colin Firth makes a perfect Mr. Darcy, serious …
National Lampoon’s Bag Boy
OK, as far as movies are concerned, National Lampoon’s BagBoy had to have one of dumbest plots ever. You have a high school graduate whose only talent is bagging groceries so he seeks to enter the international baggers competition in an effort to finally make himself a winner. It …

Indiscreet movie
Indiscreet is actually my first exposure that I can recall to a young Gloria Swanson, who stars in this 1931 film as Gerry Trent. So much of what I have seen is Swanson decades later and the caricature that is so often parodied on shows like The Carol …
La Vita E Bella (directed by Roberto Benigni)
I watched this movie about three or four times and I wouldn’t mind watching it again. It is one of those movies that you can never forget. I would describe it as a very delicate film, approaching very serious problems in a playful manner, but for this very reason …
Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue movie
Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue from 1955 was apparently filmed from a live stage show. In fact, the master of ceremonies, Willie Bryant, calls it the Harlem Variety Review at the very beginning.
Now there is some speculation that Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue should actually be 75 minutes long, but …
Movie: “Bolt”
Armed with a unique plot, beautifully colorful animation, and endearing characters, “Bolt” was an absolute delight. I enjoyed every adorable minute of it.
Bolt, voiced by John Travolta, is the star of a TV show where he plays a dog with super powers. The catch: Bolt doesn’t KNOW it’s all …
The Bucket List
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are spectacular in this movie about two dying men who go on an adventure to fulfill their life-long ambitions. The previews for this movie were a bit misleading. I though that this would be full of laughs, but the serious aspects were a …
