Transformers Animated Series - Black Arachnia Action Figure
Black Arachnia is one of the Decepticons in the Transformers Animated Series toy line. She is unusual in that she is one of the few female Transformers. One must wonder what gender would even mean in terms of robots, but I digress. She is a neat …
Something’s Gotta Give (2003)
I have seen it with my own eyes and on the screen as well, where older men make it their mission to date younger women, and in that light, the impressionable young woman take the ‘maturity’ of these older men and use it as a measuring stick against all …

Cinderella - A Twist In Time
I must say that when you have lots of nephews and nieces, you have the excuse of watching kiddie DVD and that I got the chance to watch Cinderella - A Twist In Time. This is something like a sequel to Cinderella and boy does it have lots of …
The Hangover 2 (Movie)
The Hangover 2 is the sequel to the original Hangover and released in the summer of 2011. What I will say right away is that the original Hangover and this release are incredibly similar in many ways and the second film follows many of the patterns of the first …

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon movie
I recently went to the theaters to see the new Transformers movie: Dark of the Moon. I remember when I saw the first movie. I did not know if it would be cheesy and fall short in terms of story, because it seems like that could be an easy …
Bicentennial Man
There is something special about robot movies, provided that they are done well, of course. This one is. Robin Williams plays Andrew, the ‘bicentennial man’ - a robot. Built to work as a servant (a bit of a clich perhaps, but it is only logical to use robots for …
Movie Four Christmases
Four Christmases is an excellent movie I saw in theatres. It is a romantic comedy, with a bigger emphasis on the comedy. I really enjoyed it and I think most people would as well. It is a great film to see with a couple, family, or with friends. It …

Pacific Heights
Lately I have been watching movies on lifetime and lifetime movie network and most of them have been pretty good. One that I want to recommend is called Pacific Heights. It has Melanie Griffith and Micheal Keaton in it. It’s about a guy who rents a room from this …
Love and a .45 (1994)
“Love and a .45″ is an absolutely fantastic movie in my book and I have watched it dozens of times over the years. This film has its flaws, but overall is an excellent way to pass the time. There is action, drama, and comedy all rolled into one that …
Quinceaneara (R, 2005) movie
Quinceanera is a really complex film that has several different layers. Those who have no idea what a Quinceanera is, should understand that it is very much like a Sweet Sixteen or a Bar Mitzvah in U.S. culture. The Quinceaneara is really just the foundation for the …

Millcreek Cinema is a movie theater in Mckinleyville, CA. They have about four screens and show new releases. The theater is is very well-maintained. The person selling tickets was also very friendly and had a sense of humor.
Picture and sound quality (THX Certified) were excellent, and …
Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill
The very last of the Sherlock Holmes movies to star Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce was Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill. Parts of this story are among my favorite moments. I suppose the actors had these roles so down pat by now that it felt more natural …
DeepDiscountDVD.com
I use DeepDiscountDVD.com about 6 times a year to purchase DVD’s. The site offers movies, books, and music, but I primarily use it to purchase movies. I typically buy $150 - $200 worth of DVD’s at a time because the site offers free standard shipping within the U.S. So …
Glory movie
I was flipping channels the other day and came across the movie Glory. I’m not normally a person who watches war movies but this is definitely one of my favorites.
Let’s face it, it’s Matthew Broderick in an actually serious role as a civil war colonel in charge of an …
Marie Antionette: The Movie
If you have done your history homework, you would be familiar with the name Marie Antoinette. In case you aren’t, she was the queen of France during the French Revolution. She was famous, but not for good reasons.

Yes Man (starring Jim Carrey)
Imagine having to say “yes” all the way and not able to say “no” at all. It would be very, very strange indeed and definitely scary. Jim Carrey sizzles pretty much with the character of Carl Allen and from start till finish, I kept on laughing like a …
I, Robot (starring Will Smith)
I watched I, Robot when it was first released years back and it is something that unexpectedly, this movie is super amazing. I love anything with Will Smith in it and he truly sizzles. Will Smith plays a detective by the name of Del and he is super …
Monsters, Inc. movie
My daughter has never seen the movie Monsters Inc before so I made sure to sit down and watch it with her this past weekend.

Underworld: Awakening Movie (aka Underworld 4) (2012)
I watched the new Underworld: Awakening(Underworld 4) movie in 3D, and I must say that I was extremely impressed. I’ve watched the entire series and loved them all, except for the third one, which I found to be quite boring and unnecessary to the story line. I …
Larry the Cable Guy: Witless Protection
I’m a huge Larry the Cable Guy fan; both his stand up comedy and the several movies he’s starred in recently. So, I couldn’t wait to see his newest film, Witless Protection.
While a funny movie, I have to say it really didn’t live up to the standards set by …
Gran Torino
I love Clint Eastwood, both as an actor and as a director in recent years. I was excited when I saw previews of Gran Torino, because it looked like classic Clint-a hard, grumpy, and sarcastic man who is mad at the world. I also knew that since he directed …
Knowing movie
I watched the movie “Knowing” online a little after it was released in theatres since at the time I had no money to see it. Sometimes when I watch movies online, the movie does not appear to be half as good as it seems when I watch it on …
Deck the Halls
Ok, for the record, it’s a bit too early in the year for Christmas movies. For God’s sake, it isn’t even Thanksgiving yet. But, at least the Christmas movie I came across tonight, Deck the Halls, is funny.
I’m actually not a huge fan of Matthew Broderick or of Danny …
Black Snake Moan (R,2007) movie
After watching this film, I think I understand why this movie did not fare so well at the box office. It’s going to take a strong stomach for the majority of Americans to be “okay” with observing a weathered black man keeping a sexually depraved young white woman on …
Troy
Four years after the epic movie “Gladiator”, Brad Pitt attempts to make a success out of another epic movie “Troy”. The only two things in common that these two movies have are that they were both filmed in Malta. While “Gladiator” was a huge blockbuster, “Troy” failed …

Funny People movie
Judd Apatow promised the world with Funny People and delivered an atlas. Not even a good atlas but a boring one without any pictures. If you saw the previews and advance publicity for this movie and were expecting a comedy, or even a few laughs, like myself you will …
Jackass: The Movie (2002)
One of my favorite television series when I was in high school was a television series named “Jackass” which starred pranksters Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera and Steve-O. I used to stay up with or without my brother every Sunday night in order to watch it, and I found most …
Half Nelson
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Half Nelson starring Ryan Gosling. Half Nelson revolves around a school teacher who is a favorite among his students. His class is always active with humor and fun, and everyone loves him…everyone except him. Ryan Gosling’s character smokes pot and does …

The We and the I (movie)
I’ve had a special love for independent films for the longest time, especially when they’re done quite well. This is why I just had to see the movie “The We and the I” when I saw it on the cable guide fairly recently. Even though a lot of people …

This movie firstly revolves around Clifford Irving, a writer, …
Ocean’s Eleven (2001)
With an all star cast of the some of biggest names in the movie making business in this movie, it is no wonder that it made such a killing at the box office. The fact that it was a remake did not seem to sway people from lining up …

Movie Fear
This movie features now famous Hollywood superstars Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon. I think it’s their first movie roles and they were still in their teens. I saw this movie a long time ago but I was perfectly sure that both of them are gonna be superstars (but who …
Jarhead
Jarhead is rated ‘R’ by the motion picture association of america with good reason.
Jarhead follows a young recruit named Swoff, played by Jake Gyllenhall. The movie first takes you through Swoffs time at bootcamp which is both a little too real and disturbing. Swoff is chosen to become a …
The Devil Wears Prada

Godzilla (2014) Movie
In 1998, Sony Pictures Entertainment and TriStar Pictures released the first American-made Godzilla movie.
