The Kingdom (Movie)
This movie stars, jamie foxx and jennifer garner. Its a good story, but very boring. Theres a little TOO much detail in the story for my liking. Im usually a person that likes alot of detail but this was just entirely too much. Some parts just dragged on and …
Project Moonbase Image Entertainment DVD

The 13th Warrior, Movie
Panned by critics upon release, and still without a Director’s Cut to see the light of day, I think The 13th Warrior is an overlooked gem much deserving of your attention. It was supposed to be an epically scaled historical adventure based on Michael Crichton’s book The Eaters of the …

Friday the 13th
The first Friday the 13th movie is the one that few people remember. They forget that Kevin Bacon appeared in the movie, and they forget that Jason Vorhees was merely an afterthought. Most people completely forget that it was actually his mother who was the first killer.
Watching this movie …
Movie Review: The Ladykillers (2004)
I have just rented “The Ladykillers” 2004, starring Tom Hanks, from our local library and we’ve had a fun evening watching this hilarious comedy. However, I could do with less profanity; hearing the f-word all throughout the movie was rather annoying.
The story is about a gang of criminals lead …

Film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Dazzling, sadistic, moving and creepy, there are far more adjectives to describe Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory than there are golden tickets for Charlie (the character that the original story by Roald Dahl was named for) to find while devouring chocolate bars.
Poor Charlie, while being poor economically …

The Gods Must Be Crazy
I wonder where the actors of this 1980 histerically funny movie are now. What I was referring to was the movie “Gods Must Be Crazy I, which had an equally funny sequel Gods Must Be Crazy II in 1989.

Nim’s Island (2008) Movie
The plot of Nim’s Island is very simple and quite predictable. I only watched it because I liked the cast and I especially expected nothing short of great from Abigail Breslin who played Nim.
The story was really geared towards children with its fantastical theme and Nim’s animal friends. …
Finding Nemo
There are very few movies out there that show you the importance of fatherhood. That’s why I think Finding Nemo is one of the better movies ever made.
Never mind the fact this is an animated film that is designed with children in mind. The underlying message is how difficult …

Fog,movie
If ever that I could have a chance to say this to everyone in the world, find a book, do not watch.

Yours, Mine and Ours (2005 Film)
