I saw this movie today and found it to be a great movie. The script is rather lame though. For example, the whole towns power goes out and a lady goes to look for her friend and she says “Hello? The powers out.”, and when a guy says to …

I recorded this movie on Sky Plus and then did not watch it for the longest time, until recently. This is because despite the fact that it stars Mickey Rourke - one of my most favourite actors - I did prejudge that, despite all the critics raving about …

The last movie that I watched at the cinema was “Dracula Untold”, because at the time there was nothing else that interested me showing. I believed that I was taking quite a big risk seeing it too since there were so many bad reviews written about it on the internet, …

If anyone ever wants to know why I oppose a fourth Indiana Jones film, they should watch the movie Firewall.
Harrison Ford definitely shows his age in this movie. He plays a married man and father of two who must figure out a way to hack into his bank�s security …

When I first heard about the Captain America movie, my first thought was, “How can Chris Evans be The Human Torch AND Captain America?” Is the smooth-talking wise-cracking lady’s man really the right person to be playing the man who fights for truth, justice, and the American way? Director …

Rugrat’s in Paris is a great family movie. This is the sequel to the first Rugrat movie. This movie is about Chuckie’s family growing and his visit overseas to Japan. I liked that this movie is great for children as well as for adults. At least, the adults that …

When I think about Meet Me in St. Louis, I mostly think about Judy Garland and Margaret O’Brien. Garland is the star of this MGM movie from 1944, and she does a great job. She sings the classic Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and does so …

It features real-life brothers Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans, Jaime King, Frankie Faison, Lochlyn Munro, Jennifer Carpenter, Busy Philipps, John Heard, Terry Crews, Brittany Daniel, Jessica Cauffiel, Eddie Velez, Maitland Ward, and Anne Dudek. The whole cast is crazy and when you …

One of my favorite Christmas films of all time is the 1992 “The Muppets Christmas Carol”. I was a fan of the Muppets as a child and seeing them in a film playing out the roles that I know all too well of the Christmas Carol was really wonderful. …

This movie was actually pretty good. Most of the main characters managed to capture the essence of the lives they were supposed to play, but some did not. Mos Def played Chuck Berry and did an outstanding job portraying one of the pioneers of what we now know as …

So I’m sure many of you have either read the book “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” either in your own time, or to your children. I myself, being only a recent “adult” can quite easily and fondly remember the days of curling up next to mom and …

This has got to be one of those must-have horror film classics that anyone who likes horror films must have. And even though I am not a horror fan, per se, I absolutely adore this movie for its cheekiness, its absolutely far-fetched antics, and of course for its main star, …

I rented this unwittingly believing that this would be a quirky and fun little film. What surprised me more than anything was the movie’s ability to bore me to pieces within the first few minutes. I should have known that if Ricki Lake was in …

I loved the first two Shrek movies, this third one was such a dissappointment to me. I mean I really thought I’d enjoy it. Usually the first movies is good, then the sequel bombs, and everything else follows.. but in this case Shrek 1 & 2 were …

Adventures in Babysitting was a fun little movie directed by Chris Columbus that came out in the eighties. Elizabeth Shue plays the perfect combination of girl-next-door and blonde bombshell who every guy wants to call his girlfriend. Starring in the title role, Shue hams it up nicely as …

My wife and I have been spending a great deal of time watching the show Ghost Hunters. So, as a change of pace, I decided to watch what I like to refer to as the original Ghost Hunters; the movie Ghost Busters.
This film, though a bit dated, is still …

I am reviewing the movie, Mister Roberts, which was created back in 1955. Although an oldie, it is definitely a goodie. I accidently came across this movie on television about six years ago, and I immediately was hooked. This movie is filled with brilliant actors, including Henry …

The Passion of the Christ made me cry buckets of tears. I’m a devout Catholic but only after seeing this movie did I truly come to realize God’s love for us (He gave his only son to save us from our sins). Directed by Mel Gibson, this controversial and …

A true story about two sisters who’s life are deeply affected by music, both for performing it and listening to it. They are very much alike but still they choose different paths in life, even though none of them seem to be the right one. Perhaps they should have …

I remember being a kid in third grade and absolutely loving the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles. They had a good cartoon, (or so I thought at that age) and made a few movies back then and some good money off their merchandising. Now in 2007, the turtle gang …

Rowan Atkinson’s reputation as a comedy actor is still as good as ever. What I can say about this movie is that it’s got good casting. They got John Malkovich on board. His French accented English is ridiculous but I think that’s more like it when …

I am reviewing the 2008 movie, Cloverfield. It stars a lot of no names. So it starts with this dude asked to tape this going away party for this guy. He is to document what people say. So, he has the camera rolling all the time. Everybody seems …

Evidence of Blood came out in 1998 and like the true, old south, it moves slowly. No, it doesn’t move, it crawls. Everything is told in a deliberate, snail-like drawl that is agonizingly slow. I’m all for murder mysteries, but I need something to keep me …

It looks like Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace took a lot of time coming. It was almost like the long wait for James Cameron’s Avatar, many years after Titanic established itself as the unbeatable hit. Therefore, when it finally came to the theaters, naturally …

Once in a while a teen coming of age movie comes along that I really like, and “Charlie Bartlett” became one of those. In fact, I marveled that I did not hear about it before when it was obvious that the movie was released fairly recently. It starred actors …

Transformers. Once again the world of comic books strikes it big in the box office. Transformers has been popular since it’s debut early in July. For the most part I enjoyed the film. The special effects are to be commended. Shia LeBouf does a great job as the boy-next-door …

Ok, considering I waited several weeks before I was able to find a copy of I am Legend at my local video store, I have to say I’m extremely disappointed in this movie. In fact, I’m absolutely glad I rented it rather than buy it.
When I see a movie …

It is odd that I read the synopsis of a movie, get interested in it and then watch it, only to be disappointed in the end. The synopsis for the movie on Netflix calls it a “mind warping action thriller”. Then on top of that very attractive statement it …

One of my favorite animated Disney movies is The Lion King. It is about all the animals in Africa, concentrating on the lion cub, Simba, who grows into a full-grown lion during the movie. The story is very cute and touching. Beware though; you may need …

After three successful movies on the big screen, Hollywood brought the girl midget (hence, gidget) surfer to the small screen. It was the big break for Sally Field, who took on the Gidget role. It brought her recognition. It still bugs me that she sneers at …
