Fracture (movie)
One thing that really impresses me about Anthony Hopkins is how he can play a criminal mastermind and yet play it to the point you actually have to be impressed with him.
In the movie Fracture, he plays a man who shoots his wife, is captured minutes later and confesses. …
The Fourth Protocol movie
The Fourth Protocol (1987) is a cat and mouse spy drama starring Michael Caine as John Preston and Pierce Brosnan as Valeri Petrofsky. Quite frankly, I just couldn’t get into it, no matter how hard I tried. It’s slow with a lot of following folks around and that …
Clue movie (1985)
First time I had heard about this movie, I knew it had something to do with the game. Yet, I had never played Clue, the board game, before. I had read about it, even looked at the box at Toys R …

Inkheart (staring Brandon Fraser)

Maneater (2008)
This is one of the natural horror (creature) movies in the “Maneater Series”. This particular one is about a man-eating tiger. I love these sorts of movies and try to watch every one that I can find. This is one of the good ones, too. It has a solid …
Tales From The Crypt DVD
I recently bought over the internet the complete set of all the Tales From The Crypt episodes. I always liked this TV show and now in one huge jewel case I have all the episodes in 22 comfortable dvd’s. Unfortunately thought the quality isn’t too great, given the fact …

Movie The Hours
Although I like English literature and I usually like the literature from the beginning of the century, I didn’t like this movie a lot. It is actually a drama about 3 women who all lived in different decades of 1900’s, actually he last one lived in 2002 if I …
Aronofsky’s “Black Swan”
I don’t go to the cinema all that often - not only is it quite expensive, but also I prefer to be able to pause, rewind, have a snack without disturbing fellow viewers and, most of all, I like to talk during a movie. Therefore, I tend to watch …
Movie: Iron Man 2
When the movie Iron Man came out, I didn’t think it would be a movie I would enjoy. However, it ended up being much better than I thought it would be.
When they came out with the sequel, Iron Man 2, I once again figured it would be a movie …
She’s The Man comedy
This is one of my favorite comedies. There are a lot of funny parts in it. It is more of a girls movie but I know a couple of guys who enjoyed the movie. It was a great comedy movie. There are a couple of parts where Amanda Bynes …
The X-Files Movie
Highly acclaimed science fiction series The X-Files makes it first venture onto the big screen, with Mulder and Scully becoming embroiled in even more shenanigans involving the villainous Syndicate and the dastardly alien invasion plot they’ve spent decades concealing from the public.
Ultimately, this movie is a successful venture for the …
Charlie Chan in Reno movie
It’s been ages since I’ve sat down and watched a Charlie Chan movie, so going into this I was curious to see how I’d enjoy it again. This movie, Charlie Chan in Reno, was from 1939 and stars Sidney Toler in the role of the infamous detective.
The black …
Movie Rundown
The Rock and Sean William Scott play in this movie as the two main characters. They are really good together in this movie, very funny together also. There were two parts in the movie that I thought were really funny. The rest of the movie was also funny but …
Juno
If you really enjoy watching dark comedies, then don’t miss out on watching “Juno”. This is a highly enjoyable film about a highschool student with the name of Juno, a role interpreted by Ellen Paige, who discover that she is pregnant after having sex with her best friend Paulie …
The Room, movie (2003)
Those who know me know I can enjoy a bad movie. Between a childhood of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and exposing myself to as much cinema I could get my hands on as an adult, I’ve seen quite a few stinkers in my experience. But just when …

Enchanted
I have heard mixed reviews about Enchanted around the web, so I decided to add my two cents. I thought this was a beautiful movie. It includes all the romanticism a Disney “princess” movie should, while adding the real life element to set it apart, and including references to …
Cinderella Movie
Cinderella is easily one of my favorite Disney movies of all time and I’ve probably seen it 50 times over the years. I used to baby sit a little girl who absolutely had to watch the movie every night before she went to bed and even then I never …
The Stepford Wives Movie
When I was younger, I read Ira Levin’s “The Stepford Wives” in its original novel form. I found the entire concept of these too-perfect housewives and this picture-perfect town to be very creepy, in a really fun, dark sort of way. So I was rather excited when “The Stepford …
Pump up the volume movie

A very, very typical teenage movie from the early 1990s with a …
Con Air Movie
I’ve seen this movie for many times. The leading actor Nicolas Cage is one of favorite. In this story he was married to a lovely wife who is currently pregnant. I like the story because it showed how much he loved his wife. He accidentally in prison because of …
Veggietales: Silly Thing Called Love
I picked up a Veggietales DVD for my daughter that I thought would keep her occupied for about 45 minutes. It turns out it was a pretty decent, full-length disk that kept her occupied for more than an hour.
Silly Thing Called Love is a great Veggietales disk that uses …
Stranger than Fiction
When we rented the movie Stranger than Fiction, we expected to get a great comedy. After all, you can’t go wrong with Will Ferrell. Unfortunately, in this case, we did.
Stranger than Fiction isn’t a bad movie, in fact it was pretty good. But, it definitely wasn’t as funny as …
Annabelle, horror movie (2014)
I was one of the many The Conjuring fans who had bought their Annabelle tickets a week before the show times. With a group of friends rushing to the theater where this supposedly horror-movie-of-the-year would be playing I was nothing less than thrilled. Needless to say the emotions …
Blood of the Beasts movie
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 …

See No Evil is one of my favorite bad horror movies. I’ve seen it several times on my own and recently introduced a friend to it, only to find out that he loved it as much as I did. The movie has one of those setups that you only …

Splatter movie from the same team who did Re-Animator for example. Just as with that film the story is very naive. A doctor and his friend goes mad and starts experimenting on themselves in hope of getting to a new dimension through the brain. This dimension is filled with …

In 1960, a very dramatic and long film named Exodus was released. It’s intense and poignant as it tells the story of the founding of Israel. At the center is the Ben Canaan family. Lee J. Cobb is the elder Ben Canaan, a man who believes …
The Last Samurai movie

Perry Mason: The Case of the Fatal Framing movie
Perry Mason: The Case of the Fatal Framing is one of the Perry Mason movies that I remember for a very unusual moment, and that’s when Perry Mason examines the murdered victim during the trial. It’s absolutely a brilliant scene that is unique and intriguing to watch.
It’s all …

I went to see the Killer Elite movie with my friends. I was really looking forward to seeing it when I learned about the cast: Jason Statham, Robert De Niro and Clive Owen- all mega star actors that I love and respect. When you can a cast like that, …
Movie: “Ghost Town”
A surprisingly funny and charming movie, “Ghost Town” tells the story of Bertram Pincus, an unpleasant dentist reminiscent of Ebenezer Scrooge. His attitude toward life: bah, humbug. When he dies briefly on the operating table, he wakes up with the unwanted ability to see ghosts. It doesn’t take long …

Blood and Sex Nightmare Movie
I believe this movie can only be described as an “epic failure”. I watched it online and I realized that it was possibly one of the worst movies I had ever seen. This was because it seemed to have concentrated on the sexual aspects and the gore in the …
The American (2010 Movie)
Shortly after starring in Batman & Robin, George Clooney said that he had come to the point in his career where he’s financially secure enough to make the sort of movies he wants to make, the kinds of movies like Bullitt and The Thomas Crown Affair, Cool Hand Luke …
Bridget Jones’s Diary movie
This is one of my favorite movies. The movie is about a less-than-beautiful, frumpy woman looking for love.
Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is a secretary for a publishing company who is in love with her boss (Hugh Grant) who shamelessly flirts with her (and her skirt!). After the pair have …
Sisters (movie)
Sisters is about two evil sisters, Danielle and Dominique. Danielle and Dominique are twins who are pretty weird. In fact, this entire movie is weird and full of gore and guts. It seems that Danielle and Dominique will not let anything stand in their way, and they stand up …

Mamma Mia!

She exaggerated. It was good, but it was far …
