Get Shorty
WHen I saw the movie “Be Cool” come out in 2005, I had a hard time understanding it even though it was only bits and pieces at different times that I watched. Thus, when I heard that it was actually a sequel to the movie “Get Shorty” which I …
Frankenstein
My daughter has found she likes watching old black and white movies with me; including some classic horror movies. So we took the time to sit down and watch the 1931 film Frankenstein last night.
This movie is probably not suitable for all children. But, I know my daughter ended …
The Bat silent movie
As I mentioned before I like watching classic movies, especially classic horror and suspense films. about a year or two ago I decided to try watching some silent films too just out of curiosity to see what they were like and fun, and one of the movies I watched …
Saw (horror movie)
Saw is 2004 horror, thriller and mystery movie directed by James Wan who had quite a successful career in directing horror movies. I don’t usually watch horror movies, not because I can’t bear them, but, because its not truly my genre. My friend told me how much of a …
American Beauty
I think American Beauty is a very strong movie with lots of issues involved that are perhaps much closer to home than we can ever imagine. When I first watched this movie on the cinema, I thought that it is something like a Desperate Housewives setting TV drama with …
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 …
Price of Persia movie
This weekend I sought out to see Price of Persia with my father, stepmother, and 12 year old stepsister. I stepped into the theatre with high expectations due to the hype that had been circulating about this movie for months. I don’t think it really hit me until after …
The movie Remember the Titans (2000)
As far as an actor goes I think that Denzel Washington is one of the best. It was with this in mind that I saw Remember the Titans.
This movie is based on the true story of a Virginia football team that is forced to integrate in 1971. Due to …

Sombrero movie
It’s been years since I’ve seen Sombrero, and unfortunately, I just found it by accident just before it started so didn’t have time to put on a videotape or I would have. The reason being is that it introduces Rick Jason, who is an actor I always loved …
Movie Iron Man (2008)
Iron Man (2008) is an action film by Jon Favreau that’s rated PG-13 for some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and brief suggestive content.
Iron Man is based on the famous comic book about a man named Tony Stark, who is both a billionare playboy, and a genius …
Movie Car Wash
I like to watch movies from the past because it’s a way for me to step into another era, get lost there, walk around and leave with a dialect and mind set unlike what’s heard these days. Sometimes I become nostalgic of the 70’s, even though I wasn’t born …
The Mist movie
I received The Mist from blockbuster about two days ago. I watched it thinking it was going to be a pretty good movie. I usually like Stephen King’s stories but this one I didn’t. I didn’t like the movie at all. It was not scary. It was gory and …

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
I first started reading Shakespeare’s plays when I was about eight years old, in more easy to understand translations. The translation which I had used was “Lamb’s Tales in Shakespeare” so plays such as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the time seemed very interesting to me. Therefore, that is …
The Green Man movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Green Man, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy. This movie was made in 2003, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novel written by author Caroline Graham.
In this movie, The Green …
Creep (2014 horror film)
This was easily one of my all time favorite horror films I have ever seen. I feel that the camera work and the acting from Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice were simply amazing. If you are someone who enjoys found footage style films, you’ll enjoy this one a lot. In …
The Lego (Movie)
I was just searching for some movies that can make my boring day awesome. Few days back, my friend shared his experience about The Lego movie. He said the movie was awesome and worth watching. So I thought to give it a try! The movie was directed by one …
The Dark Knight
Even before it was shown, so much hype has revolved around The Dark Knight, the 2008 sequel to the critically-acclaimed Batman Begins. I’ve waited for this movie for a long time not just because I want to see the last full-length movie of Heath Ledger, but mainly because I’m …
Cloverfield movie
I don’t know why I even bothered to watch this movie, but it was an utter waste of my time. The plot which was about a monster attacking New York City is nothing new. It was a bad mix of Godzilla and King Kong with the lizard-like creature (a …

A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Grimacing Governor is another story that centers around country rancher and attorney, Wild Bill McKenzie, as played by Hal Holbrook.

Last Vegas (2013 Film)
Last Vegas is a comedy film I was eager to see after viewing the trailer for it one evening. I wasn’t hesitant in watching it due to all the veteran actors that would be starring in the film. I just knew that a film with Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, …
Movie Transformers
Transformers was one of the most awaited films of 2007. And honestly, I wasn’t really that keen on watching it, maybe because I never was aware of the animated series in the 80’s. But because one of my closest friends really wants to watch it, I decided to come …
Movie Recycle
This is a crazy movie; some people would say that it is weird and that they didn’t understand it. Honestly I think that this is the type of movie where you either like it or you don’t. I just thought it was overall crazy and honestly I don’t even …

National Lampoon’s European Vacation movie
I have seen all of the National Lampoon Vacation movies. Christmas vacation is easily the worst of the four but I think European Vacation is one of those movies that isn’t as good as the first “Family Vacation” or the last, “Vegas Vacation.”
That’s not to say it is a …

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus movie 2009
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus was one very interesting movie for several reasons. One, the story line is unique, but complex and hard to follow, requiring more than just casual attention. Heath Ledger starred in this film—“ and died during the production. Rather than scrap the …

Max Headroom movie

Cat’s Eye movie
This is an “anthology” film. It features three self contained stories. The closest thing to a link is a stray cat that wanders from location to location and sort of observes the events in the film.
The stories are all based on works by horror master Stephen King. …
Movie: The Last Airbender
The Last Airbender is a movie I would not pay for to see again. However, that doesn’t mean it was necessarily a bad movie. The effects were dead on, the casting was great, and the accuracy to the cartoon wasn’t bad either.
However, it was not long enough, and …
The Hole movie
It was my friend who actually recommended the horror film called “The Hole” to me some time ago. The person didn’t tell me much about it either since I don’t like to be told much about movies before I watch them; but nevertheless, based upon how they described it, …
Strange Days movie
This science fiction film by the female director Kathryn Bigelow was hailed as one of the best films of its genre in a long time, but personally I really can’t see where the quality is. It’s the most unbelievable and unlogical story (even as a science fiction) about characters …
