My Best Friend’s Wedding
At the time this movie was launch at the cinemas, it was labelled as another Julia Roberts movie. However this movie was much more then that! “My Best Friend’s Wedding” is one of the best romantic movies of all time and at the same time it was the first …
Happy feet movie
Happy Feet the Movie came on our Direct TV Pay-Per-View. It was so cute. My grandchildren loved the movie. There seem to be quite a few movies coming out about Penguins, but this one was really cute. It had a great lesson in it. …
Wanted Movie
I saw all of the previews and trailers for Wanted with Angelina Jolie as Fox and Morgan Freeman as Sloan, so I felt I had to go see this movie in the theatre and could not wait until it comes to DVD. I like the way the movie introduced …
Devil in a Blue Dress movie
A thriller in an 1940s environment where Denzel Washington plays a freelancing detective with a constant bad luck.
An interesting film stylistically as it recreates the moods of old noir films in color. Compared to LA Confidential, which is similar too this one but in black and white, Devil in …
Movie Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor is a great war movie with Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, and Josh Hartnett playing the pivotal roles. The movie is based on the attack on Pearl Harbor and is very well directed. Though the movie is very long in duration, it doesn’t seem an obstacle for a …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Once again, this game made into a movie takes the viewers on a wild ride through the waste land of the future that has managed to spawn zombie like creatures. The main character as you will see as you watch this movie as it takes us through a slight …
Moonrise Kingdom, movie (2012)
Wes Anderson, as a director, has a tendency to be too quirky for his own good. After two great films with Bottle Rocket and Rushmore, his films became inconsistent. I’m not a big fan of The Royal Tenenbaums. I highly enjoyed Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. …
9 (animated movie, 2009)
Nine is an animated movie set in a post-apocalyptic world in which machines have taken over and killed all human beings. If this concept is not sound terribly original. It isn’t. However, the movie is entertaining. Tim Burton directed it. Some of the star-studded include Elijah Wood and Martin …
My Dog Skip movie
My Dog Skip is a sad, yet heartwarming story/movie. I don’t cry with a lot of movies but this movie made me shed a few tears. My Dog Skip is about a young boy growing up in Mississippi with his terrier dog Skip. Both the boy and the dog …
Josie and the Pussycats movie
I spent a good chunk of my Saturday morning watching movies on some of the movie channels we have a free trial of. One of them was Josie and the Pussycats; a movie I haven’t seen in a while.
This is a great movie, at least better than you might …
Movie The Dark Knight
I had gone to see Dark Knight when it was just released in theaters, I was very interested to go and see it. With all the hype surrounding it, well deserved hype I must say. The Dark Knight is the most successful movie in the whole batman series.
The movie …

He Knows Youre Alone (movie)
I think that there are two types of slasher movie fans. These are those who like gore, and those who seem to watch slasher movies mostly for the thrill of it. Nevertheless, after watching the 1980 slasher film “He Knows You’re Alone” twice, I do not think that either …
Donnie Brasco (1997)
FBI Agent Joe Pistone poses as Donnie Brasco in order to infiltrate a New York City mafia family with hopes of revealing their activities as criminals and out them all behind bars once and for all. As Donnie, Joe is able to be a more effective agent by allowing …
Spider-Man 3
In order to give proper respect to new and old Spider-Man fans, I feel it good to do a little review. Spider Man appeared on the comic book scene in the early 1960’s. Peter Parker wore nerdy eye glasses and was a photogropher for the Daily News. Harry Osborne …
“Fracture” starring Anthony Hopkins
“Fracture” is a 2007 color movie from New Line Cinema and Castlerock Entertainment lasting 113 minutes. Normally I’m a big fan of Castlerock that often produces movies that have some connection to Stephen King such as “Hearts in Atlantis” starring Anthony Hopkins and based on the book by King …
Sunshine Movie
I haven’t seen any Sci-Fi movie like this one, it’s an adventure and a thriller movie as well and you can really learn a lot about just concentrating on the film itself, like you can learn a lot about basic astronomy and the solar system, and things like so …
Full Moon wo Sagashite
The anime “Full Moon wo Sagashite” means “in search of a full moon”. It is a touching anime featuring a girl named Mitsuki who is 12 years old at the time. She has throat cancered and two death gods visited her, telling she only has a year to live. …
The Craving movie
Before I watched this movie, I heard of it and read a few reviews on it. Most of them were good. People said the plot was promising, and th e movie was scary. However, when I actually watched it for myself, I thought that “The Craving” was pretty disappointing …
Major League
Major League with Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Corbin Bernsen, Rene Russo, and Bob Uecker.
There have been many sports movies, but I would classify this film as being in the top three of all time. We all love to root for the underdog …
Rollin’ Plains movie
Rollin’ Plains from 1938 is your traditional cow man versus the sheep man movie. This is something we’ve seen dozens, perhaps hundreds of times over the years, but back in ‘38 it wasn’t quite so old hat as yet.
The western was a musical one, featuring the singing cowboy …
Angels in the Outfield
One of the movies which I can remember was released in the nineteen nineties was the movie “Angels in the Outfield”. It was one of the movies I loved as a child since it was a children’s movie with a very interesting plot. It was not one of those …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …
Lifeforce (1985) movie
Starring: Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, Mathilda May, Patrick Stewart, Aubrey Morris, Michael Gothard, and Nicholas Ball.
Directed by: Tobe Hooper.
Based on the novel “Space Vampires” by Colin Wilson, that pretty much spells out the plot and theme of “Lifeforce” - Hidden in the nucleus of Hailey’s Comet is …
A Rather English Marriage Movie
Two very different men meet at the hospital where they come regularly to attend their dying wives. Reggie (Albert Finney) is a former pilot, a World War II squadron leader; he is not very attached to his wife whom he only needed to cook and clean for him since …
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 …
Children of Men
I watched this movie a few months ago. I was totally enthralled in the plot. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I wasn’t very impressed when they killed the main characters long lost love. I also found it to be a little more …
Back to the Future 1 The Movie
When it comes to true movie classics, Back to the Future will always be one. Even if it’s basic theme is 20 or so years old, it has a great message and storyline behind it.
First and foremost, I love the Delorean, even if it’s an out-dated car today, …
Sixteen Candles (1984 Film)
Who cannot love a young Molly Ringwald as a fashion forward teenager who is trying to survive high school? I know that I can’t, and that is why it’s hard to not absolutely love the 1984 film “Sixteen Candles”. Not only is this movie funny, but it really does …
Horror Movies
What’s the deal with these so called Horror Movies that are being made these days. Do they know the meaning of Horror? Correct me if i’m wrong…but shouldn’t a horror movie scare you? The rating for a typical horror is usually PG-13. How the hell can this be horror, …
An Erotic Werewolf in London Movie DVD
I didn’t like this movie since I believed it was more of a female exploitation movie, which I wasn’t interested in. This was because it contained a lot of female nudity scenes as well as lesbian scenes which made it more resemble soft core pornography than a horror movie. …
Time Changer
Wow, what can you say about this little “masterpiece” of Christian cinema? The premise is pretty simple: a man from the 19th century travels through time to the beginning of the 21st century and is amazed by how immoral and corrupt and violent the world is. His …
Vampire Circus, movie (1972)
This entry, we take a look at a recent film from the famed Hammer studios, which was recently involved in the post-Potter Daniel Radcliffe film, The Woman in Black. Their new logo is akin to the logo for Marvel Studios, utilizing their film posters much like Marvel uses …
Million Dollar Baby (2004 movie)
This movie takes us on a tour of a female boxer who tries to make it to the big money bouts by way of Clint Eastwood as her Coach/Trainer. As a boxer, she has the moves, the speed, the knockout power to put down anyone in her weight class, …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Lightening Thief movie 2009
I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …
Wedding Wars
Wedding Wars is about gay entirely. This movie is about 2 brothers, whom have a so called clash, as his brother was about to marry a Governor’s daughter, and his future father-in-law requested that he opposed gay marriages, which offends Shel, played by Stamos.
Stamos is certainly a dishy …
Perfect Stranger (R, 2007) movie
It took me a while to get around to seeing Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry. When I saw the previews, I immediately thought there would be gratuitous nudity or sex scenes, like in Monster\’s Ball, or other films featuring the pretty actress. But this one was …
Knocked Up
This movie is about getting ‘knocked up’, and finding the truth. I watched this the other day and it was so darn hilarious, and only suitable for young adults and adults.
It is about a woman who went for a one night stand with a guy, and then got …
Mr. Destiny (1990)
I am always saying “Be careful what you wish for, as fate it seems, is not without a sense of humor” and to this day I continue to prove that very same thing. Nothing that you wish for even comes to be exactly the way you wish it; instead, …
Hard Candy, David Slade Movie

Hancock
Hancock, a movie about a superhero thought to be the last of his kind is a quite enjoyable movie if you’re in to the whole superhero thing. Starring Will Smith, this movie introduces John Hancock a lonely, depressed, miserable drunk who saves his city at any cost. At any …
Farewell to Harry movie
From 2002, Farewell to Harry is a small story, told quietly. It has some very slow moments, but that’s the grace of the film. It also has that mystery to it, to figure out what is truth from what is whimsy. I found that as I …
Raiders of the Lost Ark
We need more movies like this one, to keep the past alive. Not history’s past, but cinema’s past. It was George Lucas’ vision to make the Indiana Jones movies be reminiscent of the old movie serials of the 30’s and 40’s. This was a time when a person could …
A Little Princess movie
A film by Alfonso Cuaron about a young girl who experiences a most tragic series of events. First she is sent away from her beloved father to a school. Later her father dies and the girl is heartbroken of course, but nothing in the world can take away the …
Limitless Movie (2011)
I am going to tell you right from the start that I have watched Limitless movie (starring Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper) about a dozen times now. So it is pretty obvious I loved it very much.
There is something about the movie that makes you want to either …
North & South movie
Ah (Sigh!), North & South. One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. That would actually be saying a lot considering that first, I haven’t seen one (a beautiful movie, that is) in such a long time; and second, I rarely dub a movie as beautiful if …
Anter Ebn Shadad movie
This old movie is an Arabic movie talks a bout a very strong black man called Anter Ebn Shadad, this man was the son of this country’s king but the king was white so he did not wants the people of this country to know that this son is …
Jackass Number Two (2006)
Similar to the first movie, this second installation into the Jackass franchise is just a bunch of segments put together to give us a feature length movie that has no plot direction of any kind. If you are familiar with the TV series and the first movie, you are …
Troll 2 movie
The movie I am about to review is considered one of the worst movies of all timec called Troll 2.This is for a very good reason.I will give my own personal reasons why the movie is so horrible.
The plot is essentially about Goblins that turn humans into plant-like matter …
