Alex and Emma (2003 Film)
The 2003 film “Alex and Emma” starring Kate Hudson in the early stages of her career, and Luke Wilson, was a film that was really trying to be romantic and funny. I could see it in the jokes and scenes that were exaggerated. However, it really did not deliver. …
Fight Club movie

My Life movie
Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman plays the young couple desperate to have a baby together. When it finally is going to happen, the husband finds out he’s diagnosed with cancer and their whole world breaks apart. A typical overly sentimental film, that is so boring to watch because of …
The Money Pit
Movies like this make me shake my head and wonder, ‘What were they thinking??’ I am not alone in this, as I see, in regards to this particular movie: I saw ‘The Money Pit’ listed among 10 worse movies done in the 1980s in one online article. I had …
The Grudge 2
Starring: Amber Tamblyn (Aubrey), Jennifer Beals (Trish), Sarah Michelle Gellar (Karen), Arielle Kebbel (Allison), Matthew Knight (Jake), Edison Chen (Eason),
Okay, the cover on the DVD caught my eye the pasty white faced spook with the black eyes. I had expected this to be a good …
The Air I Breathe
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Air I Breathe” and “Vantage Point”. Both of them have a story where people who lead a complete different life style are related by an incident. It seems that there were many positive comments about “Vantage Point” and unfortunately “The …
Barnyard
I have recently purchased this movie and watched it with both my 2 and 3 year old grandchildren. The first thing I noticed was that the male cows, steers, bulls, whatever they are, have utters. My grandkids of course paid this no attention but I am assuming older children …
Vantage Point
I’m a big fan of political thrillers; as long as they are fast paced and make you think while entertaining you.
The movie Vantage Point has some of the makings of a great movie but takes things a bit too far in terms of trying to do too much.
The plot …
Batman Begins
This is the first batman movie that had all the ideals of Batman character. It is fantastic movie. I liked it a lot. If you really want to know about batman go and watch this movie. It shows how a rich boy comes to street and then becomes batman …
The Elephant Man (1980)
Released in 1980, and directed by David Lynch, this movie can undoubtedly be defined as one of the saddest movies of all time. I’ve only seen it twice, and I don’t really plan to see it more, at least not for some time. I’m easily caught up in good …
The Hoax
This movie, The Hoax, is actually more catered to people with political interest in a story. There are about 3 characters in this movie. Clifford Irving, Howard Hughes and President Nixon, and it is based on a true story.
This movie firstly revolves around Clifford Irving, a writer, …
Troop Beverly Hills movie
I can’t believe I haven’t yet reviewed this wonderful comedy called Troop Beverly Hills which starred Shelley Long as Phyllis Nefler and Craig T. Nelson as her wayward husband, the muffler man otherwise known as Freddy Nefler. This movie wasn’t a critical success, but to me, it’s a …
Serpico
Throughout the film “Serpico”, Serpico is confronted with multiple instances of police corruption. Serpico was presented with the challenge of doing what was right and ethical and what the rest of the officers in his division wanted him to. Serpico tries to fix the problem from within, but his …
Columbo: Undercover movie
In Columbo: Undercover, Ed Begley Jr guest stars as Irving Krutch, insurance investigator. We get 5 minutes of him in this offbeat role. He wore me out and he bore me at the same time. I lost interest in his shenanigans in his overdone storytelling. …
The House Bunny movie
We were watching some of our movie channels last night and came across The House Bunny.
This is the second time I’ve watched this movie in about a year now and I have to say it is still a cute and clever concept.
Well, to be honest, the only thing clever …
PS I Love You
Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler, Lisa Kudrow, Harry Connick Jnr, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kathy Bates. Rating M Moderate Sexual References and Theme.
I had high hopes when I sat down to watch P.S. I Love You. And I am glad to say that P.S. I Love You delivered. This is …
Creepshow by Stephen King
The original Creepshow movie by Stephen King is probably one of my favorite horror movies ever. I really liked this serious of mini movies. I really like the intro about the kid who get revenge on his enemies with a voodoo doll. I thought that intro clip was just …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I am a confessed Harry Potter addict. I even make it a point to get the first editions of the books on the day they come out, and I willingly line up just to be the first one to watch a Harry Potter movie. I submitted a review of …
Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance, movie
Birdman aka “The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance”, is a surprisingly dark-comedy film denoting the struggles of faded Hollywood star Riggan Thompson (Michael Keaton). Thompson played the eponymous “Birdman” an exceptionally popular superhero, in a series of blockbuster movies decades prior. Whilst being tortured by the internal voice of “Birdman”, …
The Brood movie
A crazy scientist is creating an army of freaks in this supernatural horror film by David Cronenberg, perhaps one of the most disgusting films I ever saw in this genre, but also one of the most overwhelming. The tension is slowly built up and culminates in a macabre final …
Friday the 13th Part 4
Friday the 13th part 4 is a movie that most horror movie fans either really hate, or they really love. Personally I’m a big fan, which is saying a lot for me. I tend to lean more towards the Halloween films, but this is my favorite of the Jason …
CNN Tribute America Remebers
The CNN Tribute America Remembers is a DVD that a friend of mine gave me shortly after 911 happened. My friend figured I would appreciate it because I was in the National Guard at the time. When 911 happened I had just gotten back from a three week trip …
Devil’s Diary (movie)
I’m not sure if this movie originally came from the Lifetime Movie Network, but that is where I watched it the first time, and am watching it now again. I thought it was pretty great for a low budget movie too, and one that is on Lifetime, since I’m …
The Ruins
We watched the movie The Ruins last night and, while I thought it was going to be one of those B-rated horror films that neither scares you or entertains you, I was surprised to find out it wasn’t half bad.
The movie is about a bunch of college kids who …
I am legend
I think “I am legend” is one of the quiet movies, because along the first hour, i just saw a will smith as the center of this movie. It seems that he is the only actor in this movie. In the scene, he shows his self centered. The script …
S.W.A.T
It is really hard not to like a movie with Samuel L. Jackson in it. At least for me it is. And I love almost everything he does. I’m not a huge Colin Farrell fan after movies like Phone Booth and that weird Jesse James western thing he did, …
Darkness (horror movie)
I thought that I’d watched all the movies with Anna Paquin in it until I saw another one recently on cable television. It was a horror movie named “Darkness”, which I noticed didn’t have a very good rating on neither the cable television guide nor IMDB. Nevertheless, sometimes I …
The Time Guardian Movie
Yet another “in the future the machines will take over the world and destroy all humans” kind of film, this time about a city trying to transport themselves with a time machine but fails. They then face the gruesome cyborgs (part machines, part human) who threaten to kill them …
Little Black Book movie
I watched “Little Black Book” because I read the story of the film and thought that it was a good movie, however it ended up not to deliver what was expected. The script could have been improved much more in order to let the actresses, Brittany Murphy and Holly …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 23
RomeoXJuliet Episode 23 begins with Conrad preparing for Juliet’s coronation, meanwhile Juliet heads to the Escalus tree to sacrifice herself to keep Neo Verona from falling apart and Tybalt tells Romeo of Juliet’s intentions and he goes to stop her.
This was a beautiful episode, that’s the only way I …
Case of the Shoeless Engineer
I am reviewing The Case of the Shoeless Engineer, 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, …
The Accidental Spy (movie)
This is another Jackie Chan movie that I had watched some time recently, and possibly might have seen one time before. Even though I had heard about it, I had never really paid it much attention until very recently. It is one of his late movies too that was …
Hudsucker Proxy
I was not planning to watch this movie. Channel surfing brought me to the movie about ten or fifteen minutes into it. I decided to give it a moment, check things out before surfing on to another channel. But I stayed and watched the whole thing, and loved every …
Thumbelina (1992)
Thumbelina was produced by Golden Films and released directly to video in 1993, as part of Golden Films’ second line of “animated classics” produced by Diane Eskenazi. The animated film follows the adventures of little Thumbelina in her quest to reach the prince of the little people and …
Wizard of Oz Movie
When I was born in 1968, Wizard of Oz had been showing annually on CBS for twelve years. My earliest memory of this perennial favorite was in early elementary school, when I joined the swelling ranks of people gathered to watch this huge, yearly event. It was as eagerly …
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
I loved The Devil Wears Prada film largely because Meryl Streep was such a bitch. The good news is How To Lose Friends And Alienate People is written in the same vein only the main character is not Anne Hathaway but a smart talking clumsy writer (Sydney Young) played …
Movie The Aviator
The Aviator is an extremely long movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio. In the film he portrays Howard Hughes, and although I normally do not like super long movies, this one is kinda good. I will state a fact, Leonardo Dicarprio can not consider me a fan of his work. I don’t …
The Road to El Dorado (2000)
This is the story of two men and a horse, let us start with the two men first, Miguel and Tulio win a map that has the location of the City of Gold in the New World, they won this map by playing a game of dice, but the …
Pitch Black movie

I have always been very fascinated by this subject. Other space, other …
The Shining movie
The Shining starring Jack Nicholson as Jack, the father, is my favorite The Shining movie. This classic blew everyone away in its time, and Stephen King’s book was brought to justice with The Shining movie. A man who has some issues and quirks takes his family to an old …
You’ve Got Mail movie
You’ve Got Mail is one of my favourites all time romantic movies together with Sleepless in Seattle and While You Were Sleeping. The main actors in this movie are Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan who team up once again together after making Sleepless in Seattle and Joe versus the …
Mr. Woodcock
“Mr Woodcock” is a good comic movie; however I personally would have preferred that the main part went to a different actor rather than Billy Bob Thornton. In this movie, Thornton tried to interpret “Mr Woodcock” to his best of abilities, however while watching this film I couldn’t help …
Honey (2003)
Honey, directed by Bille Woodruff is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for drug content and some sexual references.

Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown movie
Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown has quite a few well known names in it, including several famous folks who play themselves. It’s a unique setup for the murder of the movie where the guilty party uses a poker game as part of his alibi, not that it works. …
Erin Brockovich
Erin Brockovich is based on a true story. Erin, played by Julia Roberts, is a single mother of three who goes from living in poverty and being unemployed to a millionairess working as a legal consultant. You know, from the beginning of the movie, that Erin is determined because …
