National Treasure: Book of Secrets
After three years from interpreting the role of Benjamin Franklin Gates, Nicholas Cage returns in this role with the sequel “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”. I believe that this role for Cage represents what Indiana Jones was and still is for Harrison Ford.
“National Treasure: Book of Secrets” has …
“Drag Me To Hell” (2009 Film)
If you are in the mood for a scary movie to give you goose bumps and make you want to shut your eyes, then the 2009 film “Drag Me to Hell” is not for you. While the movie was a little creepy, it was also fairly pointless, leaving me …
Coyote Ugly
I love the sexiness of the leading ladies in the movie, Coyote Ugly. Each time I catches it on DVD I would be like admiring their killer bods and how these women manage to maintain their bodies and wearing hipster and all that and getting away with it.
The storyline …
10,000 B.C.
My wife and I got the move 10,000 B.C. through Netflix and it sat in our house for almost three weeks before we finally had time to watch it. After seeing the movie, I can say I’m glad I didn’t spend the money to see it in the theater.
The …

Sleepy Hollow
Last night was probably the 7th or 8th time I’ve seen the movie Sleepy Hollow. And, I have to say it, I love it as much as I did the first time I saw it.
Johnny Depp has a lot of great films. This is probably one of his best …
The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid is a very good movie from the year 1989. I remember watching this movie as a kid, and liking it a lot. This movie is filled with magic and romance. All the good stuff that makes you think life is great as a kid. The music in …
Doomsday, science fiction thriller film
This is one of those movies that you skipped when it was released in theaters. Doomsday might have come out at the wrong time or the trailers didn’t look very appetizing. With the movie being released on video, should you take a look at this film or should you …

Erin Brockovich
Ok, I never would have thought that a movie about a slutty, foul mouthed unattractive mother of a litter of kids would have won an Oscar for anyone. Thank you academy for proving me wrong.
Erin Brockovich is down as my all time worst movie. If this woman …
Dallas Season One
Oh wow was the first season of Dallas and the miniseries that launched the program was awesome! In a lot of ways, this was the prototype for Prime Time soap operatic drama for two decades to come. Yes, I loved the show even as a little kid watching it …

Spiderman 1-3
After much consideration I decided to review Spiderman as a trilogy instead of as individual movies. The Spiderman trilogy is different from most serial movies in that as time goes on the movies get better and better. I wasn’t a fan of the first Spiderman and because of that …
The Net
Up to 1995 we were so used of associating the actress Sandra Bullock to romantic movies. During this year, Bullock decided to show her talents in a different movie that included drama, patios and action. This is what “The Net” is all about.
The story of this movie is about …
Movie: Baby Mama
“Baby Mama” is a silly, uninteresting piece of uninspired film-making starring Tina Fey as a woman desperate to have a baby. She has always put her career first, but now the 37-year old Kate longs for a baby even though she is not married, and apparently does not have …
Boys don’t cry
I watched this movie when it aired on lifetime. I mostly watched it because Hillary Swank was in it and it was on lifetime. I didn’t really care for the movie. Not because of what it was about but because I didn’t really understand the movie. It’s about a …
What Would Jesus Buy
The most pervasive sin in our society isn’t lust, far from it in fact which is why it’s so easy for us to see, but far more dangerous to our society are greed and gluttony, and driving to that point in a humorous and profound way is What Would …
Street Law, movie (1974)
Enzo Castellari has a knack for making Italian action films. Fabio Testi seemed to be his go-to star. Yet, one film in particular, Castellari utilized the talents of the original Django. The end result was one of the better poliziotteschi films put out by Castellari. …
Movie: “Night at the Museum” (2006)
I have to say this is one of my all-time favorite Ben Stiller movies. I’m not really a Stiller fan; the only movie he’s really “acted” in was the hilarious Zoolander; otherwise, he always plays the same character: neurotic, a little nerdy, uncommitted, but with a good soul. He …
Big Eyes (biographical drama movie)
The movie “Big Eyes” was something that I’d been looking forward to seeing for a very long time, partly because it was done by one of my favourite directors, Tim Burton. I also became interested in seeing it because of the brief synopsis I’d heard about the plot. After watching …
The Fugitive
This weekend I watched The Fugitive again and was reminded what a great movie it is. I was skeptical when it was being made. I love the TV series, which is television classic, and I was afraid the theatrical movie would detract from it or parody it …

Devil in the Flesh
I have heard of the movie Devil in the Flesh before. But, I didn’t get a chance to watch it until yesterday, when it was on one of our movie channels.
It was an OK movie but I have to admit, I was expecting it to be better.
Rose McGowan does …

Crank
By “Crank”, movie directors, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor managed to find a new formula how to make entertaining action movies. In this movie be prepared to see the actor, Jason Statham like you have never seen him before.

Silence of the Lambs Movie
This stunning movie is already considered a classic. Garnering five 1991 Academy Awards, it comes to no surprise that many of us still find it spellbinding.

SHARK BOY AND LAVA GIRL IN 3 D
It’s been a long while since I truly enjoyed a 3D movie! Most of them are gory and that is not what I enjoy. I have been watching and watching, again, a 3D movie that is really fun to watch and totally with a “G” rating. My grandsons are …
John Q movie
John Q is a movie for today. It’s relevant to the ongoing struggles of a world where so many are down on their luck and having a hard time just putting food on the table for their families. It’s a movie that shows what good and decent …
My Best Friend’s Girl movie
My Best Friend’s Girl from 2008 is a disaster. The only reason I watched this thing was because I noticed a listing in the credits for Patrick Swayze that referred to this movie. He was given ’special thanks’ along with a few other performers. I knew …
The Queens of Comedy (stand-up comedy)
For a stand-up comedy genre; and if you want something totally hilarious just for fun’s purpose, do rent The Queens of Comedy. Highly rated by most and I was trying to find out what the fuss is all about with this and truly arguably, I think this works a …
Mother knows Best movie (1997)
This movie should not be confused with another film that was released in the late nineteen twenties. I actually saw this film on Lifetime some time ago and heard it was based on a true story even though I’m not completely sure how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ve read …
You, Me and Dupree movie
When I saw the previews for this movie I knew I wanted to see it. You, me and Dupree didn’t let me down. I laughed so hard I nearly made puddles beneath my chair. Kate Hudson plays the disgruntled new wife so well you’d swear every …
Iron Man (2008)

A Valentine Carol (2007 Movie)
In an intriguing spinoff, A Valentine Carol is a Valentine’s Day version of the movie, A Christmas Carol. Of course, in A Valentine’s Carol, the main character must go through different Valentine’s Days in her past and future.
While I found this movie fun and watchable, it wasn’t very …
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf movie
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf is one of the outings that I always remember, probably because it featured two soap opera stars in the leads. It’s not that I’m a fan of either of them, as I’m not, but it’s just something I remember. The two actors are …
Gothika -movie
As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …
Aliens
Aliens is probably one of the movies that can scare me till this day. The monsters in this movie are pretty terrifying. I think that this movie may have been where they got the idea for the game Doom. Because this movie was very freaky. I think the music and …
Saw 3
Saw 3 is a horror movie. There is a two movies before this: Saw and Saw 2. All of them are unpredictable when it’s going to end.
I saw this film in cinema and was something. This movie is not like all horror movies where some guy with a chainsaw …
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
The original Planet of the Apes was a unique movie that was both entertaining and made you think. The sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, was still entertaining but definitely not as good as the original movie was.
I thought the whole story line about a race of mutant …
Around the World in 80 Days
I can’t remember whether or not I was actually interested in this movie when it was advertising to be released in theatres. I remember thinking about it as “the new Jackie Chan movie” and expected that there would be a lot of action and martial arts involved. It didn’t …
Alibi.com movie
French comedies are always a great choice, if you want to watch something light, something funny, yet not something dumb. I watched a ton of those and I think I can distinguish a good comedy from a bad one and this Alibi.com is a pretty good movie to watch on …
