Some call this movie Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, but as I’ve said before, to me, it’s just plain Return of the Jedi. Once commonly thought of as just another sequel, once George Lucas actually wrote his other scripts, it became a rung in …

I am reviewing The Case of the Belligerent Ghost, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …

One of Sergei Eisenstein’s sound films, in which a historical epic about the ruthless emperor Ivan is told. It is a very powerful visual film, and Eisenstein puts all of his effort on effects, magnificent camerawork and a dynamic style of editing. All of this is a brilliant as …

A classic remake in animation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It’s wonderful use of colours left my eyes watering…and the plot was good. Good guys showed their courage, bad guys showed how evil they can be, and gargoyles showed they had no legs…lol. This is another great animated …

I bought this movie after seeing it at goodwill for 25 cents. It was a VHS tape but since I had never seen it before, and I still have a VCR I figured for 25 cents I could watch it.
Yesterday I was kind of bored after doing all …

The fourth film in the popular Terminator franchise takes place in the future that was only alluded to in the first three films. Christian Bale plays John Connor, the now adult leader of the human resistance fighting to take down Skynet and their army of Terminators.
The plot, while …

This movie has some great actors in it, including Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones, but it’s not a movie I’d sit and watch over and over again. It’s a great Cinderella type movie, but it’s just not my favorite of all time chick flick. This movie feels like the …

I am not an American, and do not know much about American history so I did not pay much attention to the movie Frost/Nixon when it was advertising to be released in theatres. However, I ended up having to watch this with a friend because of a mix up. …

Spanglish is a very boring movie and it completely disappointed me in every which way. Adam Sandler is a good actor, though his brilliance in acting hasn’t been noticed at the beginning of his career. He gave us many good films like Big Daddy, Punch Drunk Love and many …

Walt Disney has presented many delightful cartoons over the decades. This animated short from 1939 is called Goofy and Wilbur and was the first time that Goofy was the main character and supporting Mickey Mouse or another Disney main character. The situation is that Goofy is going …

When I first saw previews of WALL-E, somehow, I was not intrigued, although I do like most Pixar’s animated movies. But then I had stumbled upon some reviews of this movie online, and they sounded good, so we went and caught WALL-E when it was still playing in theaters.
It …

Matt Damon stars as a killer…hmmm, where has this ever been done before. While this film could have been a great film, it fails to deliver the goods. I was left wanting no more after it was all said and done with. The characters were robotic and no life …

Is there any greater love story than Wuthering Heights? Well, there may be but Wuthering Heights truly is one of the best. The movie adaptation of the book was filmed in 1939 and no matter how much time passes, this film is a classic. Wuthering Heights stars the magnificent …

Have you ever seen the movie “A Lot like Love” with Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet? I’m guessing it’s been out for a while because I saw it last week on Encore. When I read the preview listed on the channel guide, it didn’t look that appealing, but since …

It is very rare that I see a movie of a book that I have read and that I like it. This movie, Pride and Prejudice starring Kiera Knightly was an exception. The film work was exceptional, the acting was superb, and the costumes were stunning. This is another …

Ra-ra-ra-rainman. If you’ve never seen the perfectly flawless perfomance of an autistic man and his brother’s developing relationship, then you’re missing out on one of the great films of the 1990s. It’s iconic. Hords of gamblers went looking for autistic family members to take to Vegas with them. Well, …

Starring: Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo
I keep waiting for Jennifer Anniston to wow me and star in a movie where she doesn’t act in the exact same way as her character from “Friends”, Rachel Green. “Rumour Has It” is not the movie to change my perception …

I’m a fan of Dreamworks and having enjoyed the first adventures of the four animal New Yorkers, I couldn’t wait to watch this one. This time, the gang is on their way back to New York but along the way they encountered technical problems with their plane and crashed …

A mediocre, predictable thriller with quite a few plotholes and not the best acting. Ruby (Leelee Sobieski), a 16 year old girl, and her brother Rhett (Trevor Morgan) are orphaned when their parents die in a car accident. A wealthy couple adopts them, supposedly according to the dead parents …

I found this movie particularly moving because it so sadly, yet …

I am not a big Terminator fan because I always consider that a pretty superficial trilogy of movies but this one really surprised me. Actually when I saw Christian Bale was playing John Connor I immediately knew this film is going to be better than any other Terminator before …

A swedish animated comedy about the spirit of christmas. It’s originally titled “Sagan om Karl-Bertil Jonssons julafton” and tells the tale of young Karl-Bertil who’s a big fan of Robin Hood, and feels he wants to do something good to people around christmas time. At his work in the …

Originality is not one of the strong suits of the minds behind Tripping the Rift. The show is on the whole of it nothing more than a fairly uninspired riff on everything that has come to be considered part of science fiction over the last 100 or so …

I do really appreciate the movie “Benhur.” For me it is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. The leading actor Charleton Hestone played his role excellently as well as other participants in the movie. It is the best religious film for men. I feel closer …

I am so in love with netflix and the ability to watch movies and tv instantly. Since I don’t have to wait for a movie to come in the mail I am much more willing to try out a movie I have never heard of before. This …

I waited a long time to grab a copy of this film. At last, I was able to watch it. I don’t think this movie falls into the fashion film category. Coco Avant Chanel is a biographical account of Grabrielle alias Coco Chanel’s life. It’s …

OK, prior to having a daughter, I didn’t even know Strawberry Shortcake had a cartoon series; let along episodes on DVD. However, I will admit Adventures on Ice Cream Island is a decent DVD to rent if you want your daughter to be occupied for about 45 minutes.
The DVD …

Why is our society so crazed about sex, sex-related humor, gay humor and such?? Or perhaps this is not the society but just Hollywood? Go figure… Here is another movie full of that stuff, a movie that probably could have been good otherwise.
Blades of Glory is about two figure …

In the past decade or so, there have been some pretty good actors. Both still famous and those who have fallen from the limelight. One of these actors to surface in the mid to late nineties was Matt Damon. He’s still an extremely successful actor and is the new …

“To Sir with Love” is one of my all time favorite movies. I’ve seen it dozens of times and I still cry every time I see the movie. I think it is the ultimate teacher movie ever. The 1967 Columbia British Productions movie was filmed in color and lasts …

Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, this one even beats being caught with your pants down. This is a case of mistaken identity that caused an innocent man to be incarcerated in a highly securely penitentiary where he is charged for murder. He didn’t …

How could a film that was made in 1999 already get a remake? The Pang Brothers felt it was a perfect opportunity to remake their hit 1999 debut film, Bangkok Dangerous, for its American release. Was this a smart move from the Pang Brothers or is the original film …

I am not a transformer fan. This is the reason why I turned down two invites to watch this newest transformer movie. But when I was asked (not invited) by my younger sister to go with her and her boyfriend, I cannot do anything but to go with them …

Don’t make the mistake to relegate the movie “21″ as just another movie focused on poker, because you will make one big error. The movie “21″ has the right recipe to attract audience from different generations to watch it because it includes drama, romance and hype.
The story of the …

I might have gotten to the point in my life where zombie movies just don’t excite me anymore. Take this one, Bone Sickness, a zombie movie that might have been shot with a betamax camcorder. I have no beef with low budget movies but Bone Sickness really doesn’t do …

Abalone Moon is an excellent example of a literary e-zine. The URL address is http://www.abalonemoon.com and I thoroughly examined this e-zine on the 16th of April. As stated by Abalone Moon, they publish “poetry, interviews, prose, essays, reviews, photography and visual art.” It also states a central theme. …

The Ringer is a drama comedy movie starring by Johny Knoxville and Katherine Heigl. First time I saw the movie is just uncoincidence and I don’t know exactly what movie it is. After I watch a little longer I can see that this is pretty interesting to watch.

I was really looking forward to seeing this movie, as I believe that the true story of the murder of Elizabeth Short is quite interesting. This movie was SUCH an amazing let down!!!! The focus on this film failed to be the murder of Elizabeth Short, but rather a …

There are very few thrillers out there that scare me, this is definitely one of them.
The makers of this movie did a great job coming up with an original concept that you just don’t see in Hollywood any more. What could be scarier than knowing Death is out to …

This documentary by frenchman Georges Franju shows an unpolished and uncensored look into a slaughterhouse in France. No dialogue, all we see is how the day goes on in a slaughterhouse. This is a most shocking film, scenes that are never shown in reality. It’s hard to understand how …

The camera soars over the crashing waves of the English Coast and the eerie music swells, our hero begins telling us about how haunted these shores are; my skin starts to deliciously crawl and I pull my afghan up tighter under my chin. It doesn’t matter how many …

Although there are many films out there about the diamond in the rough teenager who just needs a little push to be less awkward, none quite matches the charm of this film with Patrick Dempsey long before he was famous. In fact it has hard to imagine the man …
