McHales Navy movie
The retired old commander named McHale is recalled to the navy after his arch enemy takes over the Island San Marino.
Stupid, stupid movie that almost makes me laugh at how amateurishly made it is. Bruce Campbell is almost charming, but the fact is that he always appeared in second …
Movie: Saw VI
Well, I didn’t really want to, but I gave in and finally sat down to watch the film Saw VI.
I have seen the previous five movies in this series and, while the first couple were somewhat unique and entertaining, I got a bit bored with it by the fourth …
Movie The good night
I must admit that I was confused about the introduction of the film “The Good Night”. To be honest, I thought I had put the wrong DVD in my DVD player and had to check it out. I confirm that “The Good Night” directed by Jack Parlow, brother of …
Serenity movie
Serenity is a great movie but most of the people who have seen it either love it or hate it. Serenity is my favorite movie and was made as a follow up to the series Firefly by Joss Whedon that I love. Firefly was only shown for a few …
Drive Me Crazy
I see a lot of similarity between the actresses, Melissa Joan Hart and Alicia Silverstone. They both got famous due to teen related material and they cannot seem to go beyond that. Alicia Silverstone stuck in the “Clueless” and “Excess Baggage” phase, while Melissa Joan Hart got stuck in …
Police Academy (movie)
I haven’t watched the unedited version (as in, actual movie not one edited for TV) of Police Academy in years. But, after watching it again last weekend, I have to say I now realize just how good it was.

Love and Other Disasters
Brittany Murphy is cute, very cute, and from what I can see that is one of the driving forces of Love and Other Disasters.
This movie is a romantic comedy which appears to desperately want to be different yet is stuck with every cliche you can think of, from the …
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
OK, maybe it’s because I’ve never read the comic book but this is probably the tenth time I’ve tried to watch the movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and, try as I might, I just can’t seem to get through the entire movie.
I’m sure the concept of a crime fighting …

One of the great things to come out of DVD marketing in recent years is the the franchise collection, collecting numerous movies in a particular franchise and offering them all in one box at a cheap price. For example we have here the Riddick Trilogy, which provides us …
The Secret of My Success
Michael J. Fox stars as Brantley Foster in The Secret of My Success. The film came out in 1987 and to me, Fox still looked so young. Even in Family Ties, he seemed very young to me. Here he’s leaving the farm to go make it …

The Great Gatsby (movie)
One of the movies that I watched very recently was “The Great Gatsby”. It was the most recent film adaptation of the classical novel bearing a similar name. Up to a couple minutes before I began watching it, I honestly had no idea whether or not I would enjoy …
The Outer Limits : “Second Soul” episode
I rented the Outer Limits : Death and Beyond series because I’m truly a creepy person. I’ve always loved the Twilight Zone and Tales from the Darkside. So, I thought that this would be a natural DVD choice for someone like me. Boy was I …
Lord of the G Strings Femaleship of the String, DVD Softcore Movie
Seduction Cinema made a ton of softcore movies. Maybe they made too many of them. One of the production company’s most popular films is Lord of the G-Strings, a softcore take on the Lord of the Rings trilogy. All of Seduction Cinema’s top players were in this movie in …
Babes In Toyland (1961)
Disney’s first big screen live-action musical was “Babes in Toyland” starring Annette Funicello, Tommy Sands, Ray Rolger, and Ed Wynn (among others). I had seen it as a small kid and enjoyed it. I just now watched it again as a twenty six year old kid and I kinda …

Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back (NR, 2008)
I only rented this movie because I thought that the first one was fairly decent. Looking back, I realize that not only was the first one not as good as I’d imagined, there NEVER should have been a sequel. The whole concept behind this film …

Love and a .45 (1994)

Your Highness - Unrated (2011 movie)
Sometimes I just need to watch something absurd. I know it’s illogical, but that’s what makes it so funny. Danny McBride is a master of this kind of humor. Ever since I saw him in “Eastbound & Down,” I’ve been a huge fan. It’s also …
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
I’m not much of an animated movie fan. I love watching movies with real people in it, not cartoons! I think those animated movies are just plain childish. Sometimes, what is funny to a child may no longer be that funny in the adult context. But, I gotta hand …
Beauty and The Beast: Blu Ray Edition
One of my all time favourite child hood movies is Beauty and The Beast, so when it came out as a blu-ray edition over The Christmas period I jumped at the chance to be able to purchase it.
With the package came three separate DVD’s. The movie in …

Borderline Cult (R, 2007) movie
If at all possible, never, ever, ever, ever rent this movie. I went online at Netflix, thinking that this was going to be an innovative horror film. I was so disappointed. The beginning is rather stark. There are three serial killers who work …

The sign up process was simple enough, and I found the website to be fairly easy to use. I was on the 3-movies at a time program, and I began by making a very long list …
Spongebob Squarepants Seascape Capers DVD
This DVD has quite an assortment of Spongebob episodes to choose from. Including classic episodes like the Bubble Stand and Squid’s Day off. It’s a good way to unwind after a long day at work.
My favorite episode on this DVD is “Spongebob Meets the Strangler, where Spongebob turns in …
Earth documentary
You always hear people discussing cinematography in various films and movies, but in the movie I finally saw last night, —˜Earth,’ the cinematography is magnificent and clearly on a different level than most documentaries I have seen. The movie is made up of several —˜stories’ of animals in their …

Little Buddha movie
A film by Bernardo Bertolucci who is mostly known for his giant epic Novecento. This is one of his latest films and tells the story of Siddaharta who goes through a spiritual journey to finally become Buddha. It seems to me Bertolucci isn’t any longer the talented filmmaker he …
Drive 2011 film
Before seeing this movie in the theater, I’d never heard of Nicolas Winding Refn. The film surprised me, and pleasantly so.
Keep in mind that when I say pleasantly, I mean brutally. To some these words may be interchangeable. I’d advise you to avoid such individuals. “Drive” was one of …
Basquiat (1996 film)
I will open by saying that “Basquiat” is a terrific film, in every way you could name. The performances, by an all-star ensemble cast, are nearly flawless, the direction and visual composition of the film mirrors the personal, intense nature of its subject’s art, and the soundtrack covers a …
The Others movie
“The Others” is a dreary, yet magical horror film-that is unlike many other supernatural horror films. The director created a dreary and sleepy backdrop to tell the story of a woman and her two children who live in a huge manor after the 2nd World War. Nicole …
Going my way

The Cobbler, Movie
The Cobbler is a very different kind of movie to the ones normally associated with its star, Adam Sandler. He’s had movies, such as Reign Over Me, that have really demonstrated his ability to tackle serious subject matter and deliver moving performances. Whilst I am a fan of some of …
The Three Musketeers in 3D, 2011 Movie
I think that hardly there are many books with more screen adaptations of “The Three Musketeers”, but in spite of all that I think that the new version directed by Paul Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Alien vs Predator) has something new to offer to viewers , at least with the …

Movie Knocked Up
This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …
