There were a lot of cars in the lot when we arrived, but amazingly, there was still parking close by. The …

I expected a bit more from this movie than I got. But I should have known that because it was made by the same man who did “Sideways” —that the movie was going to be one of those occasionally humorous quiet, thinking people films. Usually …

From 2004, Nothing is about two guys who think the world away to near nothingness. I will say off the top that the opening writing material that is on the screen brings on early chuckles. The writing proclaims that the movie is absolutely true. It’s an …

Please don’t watch this film. Listen to the radio series, read the books, or watch the BBC television series as a far more worthy introduction to Douglas Adams. Alternatively, watch paint dry.
There are a few good things about the film. The visioning of things like the Heart of Gold …

WHen I was in high school I used to hear some adults as well as English teachers talking about the time when the book “The Glass Menagerie” used to be a literature book which students had to read in order to pass one of their exams. Out of curiosity, …

“Enchanted” is, in a word, enchanting. I was very impressed at this sweet and charming film; it’s wonderful for the whole family and I believe it will be a classic for years to come.
It starts with a beautifully animated sequence; the lovely (and relentlessly upbeat) Princess Giselle lives in …

I do not exactly remember where I saw the film “Can I do It—¦Till I Need Glasses” anymore, but I do know that the reason why I paid it any attention in the first place is because I was told that the film starred a young robin Williams. Nevertheless, …

At first I really liked this movie, but now I absolutely hate it. I don’t even know why I keep the DVD around. This is a really old movie starring Prince and I guess it is about his life. I don’t know if it is a true story or …

“All The King’s Men” is a great movie, even though most critics things otherwise. The great assets of this movie are a great cast of actors and a great story based on the novel written by Robert Penn Warren. It is a true pity that Hollywood didn’t give this …

This film thoroughly surprised me - I never thought a film could be so thought provoking. The plot itself is rather complicated, I had to watch it a few times just to understand everything that happens. However I thought this is what made the film so great. I could …

I had been warned ahead of time that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was a very sad movie, and since I didn’t want to be a sniveling embarrassment at the theater, I waited until it came out on DVD before I watched it. That was a good decision, …

I am reviewing the animated film, Monster House. This movie follows around three main characters: two boys and a girl. The boys avoid this house all the time, because they think it is a monster house. The man inside is just as growly as a monster too. Whenever …

I’ve not read word one of the Harry Potter books, but I have generally found the movies to be a decent diversion.
At this point in the series, I am torn between Prisoner of Azkahban and Goblet of Fire as my favorite.
The latest, Order of the Phoenix, is in a …

Suburban Girl is a very sweet and funny story and I have a really fun time watching this. Sarah Michelle Gellar can act in romantic comedy roles as well and she’s a very pleasing eye-candy and a fun to watch. She appears to be brunette in this story …

I initially ignored the movie “What’s Your Number” because I heard a few bad reviews about it, and I realised that it didn’t get a very good rating. This was even though I’ve always thought that the comedy actress Anna Faris was very funny.
I decided to watch it recently …

One of the last movies that I went to watch in the theatres was “Gangster Squad”. Ever since I first saw the trailer last year, it looked so promising that I made up my mind that I was not going to miss it. The movie didn’t disappoint at all …

I watched this movie on cable about a week ago. I wanted to see it when it first came out and I totally forgot all about it. So when it was on the other night I watched it. It started out really good but toward the middle and the …

My favorite of all the Star Wars sequels is Return of the Jedi, and that is even after I have watched all the movies the franchise has to offer, prequels included. True, there is a lot more technology and much faster pacing in the newer films, namely, Episodes …

I had never heard of the Aristocrats joke before this movie came out, which means I am probably like most people, since this seems to have been an in-joke among comedians that never really made it out into the popular culture prior to this film. I did find …

This Is Spinal Tap is a silly movie about a band based in the 1970s. You can’t watch This Is Spinal Tap and take it seriously! I’ve ran across a couple of people who actually thought Spinal Tap was a real band. They are not! What they are is …

A friend brought over a copy of this movie. I immediately thought of the City of God, although that film takes place in Brazil. Anyway, this film features two young Haitian men who have been called to serve in an army called “Chimeres”. These are basically …

The sequel to Marvel’s first Ultimate Avengers movie is, in my humble opinion, superior to the first. Having established our characters at this point, Ultimate Avengers 2 is allowed to take a bit more time advancing a plot.
Not that there aren’t a couple of new characters here. …

I got bored yesterday afternoon (both kids were taking naps) so I ended up watching the movie “The New Guy” again. I think I have seen that thing about a dozen times now and have to say it is still one of the funniest movies ever.
DJ Qualls is hilarious …

I had first been interested in the 2009 film, 500 Days of Summer, because one of its main actors (Zooey Deschannel) has always impressed me in other films that she has done. However, her character Summer did little less then annoy and disappoint me. I constantly felt sorry for …
