Robin Hood:Men in Tights
One of Mel Brooks’ many parodies of famous folklore. No one can deny that this movie is comedy at its best. You will be laughing your socks off from start to finish and even after it’s all said and done. Cary Elwes is a true comedian and its due …
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 …
Eyes of a Stranger
Eyes of a Stranger is a Richard Dean Anderson film from 1992 that I’ve never seen, most likely because I’m really not into murder mysteries that are scary all that much, and that’s what this film is suppose to be. Since someone gifted me with this recently, it …
Requiem For a Dream
This is one of the most powerful and gut wrenching movies I have ever seen. It is brutally honest in its depiction of drug addiction and the effect it has on different people. It shows how drugs are just the tip of the pyramid when it comes …
Those Who Hunt Elves
Those Who Hunt Elves is quite a funny anime that I have begun to watch a few days ago. The most attractive quality of this show is its humor which happens to come from how random it is. A sorceress elf named Celica tries to vanish an …

Charlie Wilson’s War, biographical drama film by Mike Nichols
Something about Charlie Wilson’s War doesn’t feel right. The film tells the true story about Charlie Wilson and how he single handedly took down the Soviets. I was left with a bad taste in my mouth after watching this movie and I don’t know why I feel this way …

Howard the Duck
This is a movie made by George Lucas. Truthfully, I didn’t know that George Lucas had made any other movies besides the Star Wars ones. The cover looked kind of strange, with this big duck on it and I was unsure what the movie was about. Anyway, I checked …

The movie Why Did I Get Married
I like Tyler Perry’s plays and his movies. This one was no different. THis movie is about what can happen to a relationship when it is not built on the right things. IT shows what can happen when couples start to take each other for granite and start to …
Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005)
“Mrs. Henderson Presents” was another one of those movies that disappeared from the large screen before I had a chance to see it. I suspect this is true for many people. That’s a pity because “Mrs. Henderson Presents” is a charming, feel-good movie that will leave you feeling both …
Movie About a Boy
As I’ve indicated in other reviews, I’m not a huge fan of British movies. And, the Hugh Grant film About a Boy is a good example of why.

The man with the movie camera movie
Dziga Vertov’s documentary-like film from the 1920s has been acclaimed as one of the greatest masterpieces of all time, and I can do nothing but agree to that. Vertov’s uses his camera in such imaginary ways, showing the people of Moscow through every possible angle and style. He wanted …

Thinking XXX (NR, 2004) documentary
One might think that documentaries about sexually explicit topics will be full of juicy material. I found this one downright boring. While it was interesting to see porn stars (like Tera Patrick) actually taking part in interviews, some of the dialogue and things they were talking about …

Anaconda movie (1997)
As if Snakes were frightening enough. Now, there are sets of movies about giant snakes that have a hunger for human flesh. It’s bad enough that Jaws freaked people out about getting into the water. I, myself, am included in that …

Harold and Kumar from Guantanamo Bay
I did not expect a sequel to this movie would come out. But when it did, I had to watch it as soon as possible. The experience was amazing.

Paul movie
British funny guys Nick Frost and Simon Pegg wrote the screenplay for Paul. This is not their first ensemble —“ another memorable movie with the two of them was Shaun of the Dead amongst others that I am leaving out. As always, the British humor never fails …
Walt Disney’s Dumbo (1941 Movie)

K-19: The Widowmaker movie
K-19: The Widowmaker was released in 2002, and I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not. Honestly, I’m still not totally sure. It took me three or four views to really get into and grasp the entire scope of the story. That surprised me because …

Ted (2012 movie)
Ted is one of the best movies that I’ve seen this year. It’s funny, the writing is great, and the actors are extremely witty. Believe me when I say it is not what you will expect, because it wasn’t what I expected to see. Seth Macfarlane shines all the …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
There aren’t many movies that I’m willing to spend the price of admission on. Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull is one of the few I am.
Quite simply, this movie is awesome. If I could afford it, I would go back again and again. I don’t …
Winning of the West movie

Back in the 1950s, they made the book Invasion of the Body Snatchers into a movie. I still think it is one of the better invasion movies of all time. But, today I’m going to review the 1978 remake of the film starring Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum
While not …

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (PG13, 2009)

The Lost (NR, 2005) movie
I thought this movie was supposed to be good. I rented it on Netflix, looking at the four stars and really assumed that there would be some significant twists. But this film was completely lost on me. For one, Ray Pye’s character was not …
Little Shop of Horrors movie

One of the movies we ended up re-watching for …
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, …
