Orgazmo
I am reviewing the little known movie, Orgazmo, which was released in 1998. Co-creator of South Park Trey Parker directs, writes, stars in, and even sings the theme song to this movie. He plays an innocent mormon who is offered a job as the role of Orgazmo, a …
Beast Wars: Transformers - The Complete Third Season Set
The complete third season of Beast Wars: Transformers on DVD is a letdown. It’s not the fault of the picture or sound quality on the DVD set, although the amount of “extras” is very disappointing, but it’s the episodes that are the real problem. Unlike season two, the scripts …
Wi-heom-han gyan-gye (Dangerous Liaisons) movie
By and large, in Asian cinema, you can attempt to make a dramatic romance by either appealing to a localized sense of humour than might make it seem more uplifting, or you can pursue an angle popularized by Wong Kar Wai and heighten the drama using boiling stifled passion …
The LEGO Movie (2014)
When my kids first heard about the LEGO Movie it was all they would talk about for weeks. I have to admit that even though I tried to act cool about it, I was pretty excited too. This movie had an all-star cast with everyone from Morgan Freeman to …
KingKong (2005)
I remember having watched this movie twice. There’s a lot of weird stuff going in this movie since the setting is a farflung and unrecognized island that is forever covered by clouds from the sailors. Yes the giant ants, centipedes, and other types of bugs even leeches …
Circus of Fear movie
The movie “Circus of Fear” is one of the actor Christopher Lee’s older movies. At first I got the impression from the title that it was going to be a horror film, but, instead it turned out to be more of a mystery/suspense film. Personally, even though the …
Movie Lakeview Terrace
I recently saw the movie Lakeview Terrace starring Samuel L. Jackson at the movies theater. The movie was about a bi racial couple that moves next store to a black police officer raising his son and daughter by himself. From the time the couple moved in …

Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is one of my cartoon collections. I love the story so much and I got entertained watching it. I love how the story was made. It was a story of a real parental love. As a watcher I find it a very meaningful animation story. I have …
The Trouble with Angels comedy
The Trouble with Angels is magnificent. It’s a terrific comedy about two rambunctious teenagers attending school at a Catholic convent. The two are full of life and always get into trouble. Just when the Mother Superior is about to give them the heave-ho, she meets their …
Shriner’s Circus movie
I recently had an opportunity to take my daughter to the Shriner’s Circus when they were holding it here in Beaver Dam.
While not the best circus I have ever attended, I will say it was a bit better than expected.
When I took my daughter to the Dodge County Fairgrounds, …
Eddie the Eagle (2016 Film)
As I said in my “Moneyball” review, I am not totally a fan of sports movie and sports in general, but I did love that film. I had no intention watching sports-related films unless they’re really good but today I was left with no choice - I had a tight …
Failure to Launch movie
When I saw previews of this movie, I thought it would be hillarious. However, when I finally got a chance to watch it, I can understand why the critics hated it.
Overall, it was an OK movie but it wasn’t as funny as it could have been. The plot was …

Pollyanna
I am reviewing the movie, Pollyanna, starring Haley Mills. Anyone who has a little girl will enjoy this movie. I think you’ll enjoy it anyway, even if you haven’t. Pollyanna is about a little girl who is sent to live with her very rich aunt Polly. A …
Paul Blart: Mall Cop
The first thing I thought when I saw this movie advertising was that the movie looked like it was going to be unusual, but not necessarily funny. When I actually got to watch it though, I realised how right I was, as I never laughed one time throughout the …
The Incredible Hulk
Last Sunday my husband and I had a night free. Our little one was visiting with her grandparents. So, we went to see a movie. My husband has been waiting to see The Incredible Hulk. So, that is what we went to see. I …
Reaching for the Moon movie
Reaching for the Moon from 1930 starred Douglas Fairbanks as Larry Day, Bebe Daniels as Vivien Benton, and Edward Everett Horton as Roger, the Valet. Even so, one of the best parts of the movie was a small segment that included Bing Crosby.
Crosby played himself and only sang one …
Jerry Maguire
My family enjoys watching movies, we own a lot of DVD’s and we like Tom Cruise as an actor. We put in the movie Jerry Maguire (1996)the other evening to watch it.
Tom Cruise plays a busy sports agent in the film, who is about to be …

This is actually a Thai film dubbed in English when I saw this one, I love watching horror movies even though I get scared easily, and this isn’t exactly your good old ghost but modern horror because of it’s demonic side. This is a story about a local girl …
Boogie Nights (1997 film)
“Boogie Nights” finds director Paul Thomas Anderson (”Magnolia,” There Will Be Blood”) absorbing some amazing influences in both cinematography, structure and storytelling, rolling them all together and making the result uniquely his own.

Like his previous work, …
In The Heat of The Night movie
Directed by Norman Jewison and Academy Award winner for best picture and best actor Rod Steiger. This film can really teach us the lesson of racism in our country. Set in the small town of Sparta, Mississippi in 1967. The film opens with a blues song “In The Heat …
The Whisperer in Darkness Film
The movies based on the works of the great master of horror H.F. Lovecraft generally, I think, are complete tragedy, because the directors usually ignore the atmosphere that makes the stories of this author special and put a greater emphasis on the excess ketchup blood and the monsters, losing …
Shutter Island movie
This latest Martin Scorsese movie is definitely not his greatest creation but is a compelling watch for its grabbing suspense and magnificent plot. Shutter Island is a movie that has many wonderful performances and excellent direction. The setting of the island in midst of the ocean and intriguing ambience …
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 …
Funny Face movie
Another unforgettable movie from Audrey Hepburn Collection. This is my favorite among her films, its a classic indeed.
In this film Audrey portrays the role of a bookstore clerk named Jo Stackton. The Quality magazine, a fashion magazine held a photoshoot at the bookstore she worked for. She was discovered …
The devil wears prada
This is a Meryl Streep movie, and like all of her movies she is simply fantastic. I find that Streep gives that extra input in her work that makes her such an extra ordinary actress. I personally compare her a lot to the actor, Joaquin Phoenix they …
Holy Water movie
Holy Water is a comedy with a lot of good humor that justifies two rules, namely: first, the British films worth seen, and second, the presence of famous actors and directors is not a guarantee for a good movie.
In other words, I watched a movie with actors that I …
“Color Me Blood Red” (1965 Film)
During the early to mid ’60s, renowned horror film writer/director Herschell Gordon Lewis created the “splatter” sub-genre of horror. The third installment to a set of three definitive splatter films, known as “The Blood Trilogy”, Color Me Blood Red kept the “blood” theme going strong. After viewing the film, …

I can’t say that I really loved the movie “A Mighty Heart” since I never really did get to watch it in full but only watched parts of it over different time periods. When i was watching the parts of it, the movie did seem a little boring but …

We All Scream for Ice Cream Movie
We All Scream for Ice Cream is easily one of the oddest movies in the Masters of Horror series. This one stars William Forsythe as a clown who drives an ice cream truck. If you think that he is the one who is torturing people, you’d only be partly …
Surf’s Up (2007) movie
One of the best animation movies of all time, and certainly the best from Sony Animation, Surf’s Up was funny, clever, and perfectly edited. The voices matched the characters brilliantly, and the characters themselves were a hilariously mixed and matched. Some of the dialog was truly inspired, …
Jake Spanner, Private Eye movie
Robert Mitchum starred in 1989’s Jake Spanner, Private Eye which had a unique opening of having Spanner dreaming and using excerpts from Mitchum’s movies as the dream. That was intriguing. Before the viewer has a chance to really chuckle and enjoy that, the credits start and, wow, …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
What an amazing movie. At first glance, it seemed like it had the ability to be good and bad. I had heard of books before, but never really knew about what Pirates of the Caribbean was about, except for Pirates sailing in the Caribbean.
Let’s start with the concept of …

High Crimes
I bought this movie after seeing it at goodwill for 25 cents. It was a VHS tape but since I had never seen it before, and I still have a VCR I figured for 25 cents I could watch it.
Yesterday I was kind of bored after doing all …

I received this from blockbuster yesterday, I wanted to hurry up and watch it so that I could send it back today. I thought it was a pretty good movie overall. It definitely made me laugh a couple of times. Although it wasn’t hilarious it still made me laugh …

The Simpsons Movie

I got to admit the movie started in …
Titanic Movie (1997)
It was 1997. I was in college when my friends and family were hyped up about this movie Titanic. This stars Leonardo DiCaprio (Jack Dawson) and Kate Winslet (Rose). This was the film that rose Dicaprio and James Cameron to stardom.
This film was about a poor boy …

Having watched Center Stage 1 the movie, I was also eager to watch this as it was shown on HBO back-to-back, for 4 hours I had watched 2 Center Stage movies and I had liked them both. I honestly liked the first movie better and I already was expecting …
Tom & Jerry: The Magic Ring
My daughter loves Tom & Jerry cartoons. So, when I saw I could load the hour-long movie Tom & Jerry: The Magic Ring on our Netflix player for her, I did.
I ended up watching it with her last night and it was an OK cartoon but I guess I’m …
Movie Rudy
Rudy is, in my opinion, tied for first with Remember the Titans as the greatest football movie of all time. Rudy is a movie that tugs on every emotion you have. The film draws us in and it has to do with the amazing film making. …
