The Sting (1973)
“The Sting” is one of the most fun movies I’ve ever watched. I was taken in again and again as Paul Newman and his gang of con artists conned me and other members of the audience. The worse thing about it is that I can’t be fooled again when …
Dracula 2000 movie
The only disadvantage about this movie which I remember is that I thought the movie should have been a little longer. A part from that it is one of my favorite vampire movies. The movie has no old, or middle aged man playing the role of Count Dracula and …
Igor (2008 Film)
If you are looking for an adorable family fun flick that is perfect for a Friday night after a long week, and appropriately funny for children and adults, then you should consider the 2008 film Igor. It is an animated movie with great graphics and hilarious jokes and characters …
Wolf Of Wall Street, movie
It wouldn’t sound too strange to say that The Wolf of Wall Street is in fact an adaptation of the classic 70s song Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, perhaps without the —˜Rock and Roll’. Scorsese’s latest 3 hour film is an indulgent look at the life of Jordan …

District 9 movie
District 9 is a movie I bought after seeing it in theaters. I love science fiction-type films, and since this one contains aliens, it was right up my alley.
District 9 is a section set aside for the insect-like aliens that also inhabit Earth. It’s basically a slum, …
Song for a Raggy Boy (movie)
I’m a lover of both historical and independent films, and so when it was recommended that I watch the movie “Song for a Raggy Boy” I was very delighted to watch it. I thought that it would have been interesting to see a historical movie depicting the pre World …
Movie Watchmen
If you are looking for a regular super hero movie about people with special powers who are trying to save the world I think this film will disappoint you. Although it is about saving the world and about people with special powers it is certainly not a regular superhero …
Lucky Numbers
“Lucky Numbers” is the comedy that must have give the actor, John Travolta a lot of nightmares because unfortunately he got a Razzie Award for his interpretation of Russ Richard. I must admit that John Travolta interpretation lacks that special magic, however it was very much unfair to hand …

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a hidden gem of a movie. Jim Carey, in my opinion, gives the best performance of his career and funny enough, this isn’t a comedic role. Some of the movie has comedic relief, but this is in no way a …
The Blob movie
My wife and I ended up blowing off our housework yesterday and watched movies all day. One of the films we saw was the 1958 classic “The Blob.”
Even though I’ve seen the sequels and remakes of the movie, I still feel this original is the best. Steve McQueen is …
Shiver (NR, 2008) film
Those who like horror films that have a creepy subtlety will absolutely love this film. Yes, it’s a foreign film with subtitles. But that doesn’t make any of the action in this movie less frightening. The story centers on a boy who moves to …
Nanny Mcphee
Nanny Mcphee is a bit boring film with some unconvincing scenes which no logic. Emma Thompson plays Nanny McPhee in the movie and she has some magical powers which is not really convincing. Cedric Brown played by Colin Firth ia a widower and has seven children who are extremely …
Haunted Mansion (2003)
Honestly, I just find Nathaniel Parker cute that’s why I finished this movie and wishing I had been Marsha Thomason just to snatch that role. Yes, this is a funny movie but I was wondering why Walt Disney Pictures, or anyone else who has been part of making …

The Bumblebee action figure from the Transformers Animated Series line of toys is really cool. It retails for anywhere from $10.00 to $12.00 and can be found at many retailers, including Walmart, Kmart, and ToysRUs. Bumblebee is about 6 inches tall in robot mode and is a …
Lars and the Real Girl Movie (2007)
After watching Lars and the Real Girl I am proven once more that you cannot judge a movie by its plot description. When I read that the movie is about a lonely man who develops a deep and romantic relationship with a doll he orders only, my reaction …

Father Hood
This Patrick Swayze movie is one of my very favorites. Patrick is wonderful in the role of Jack Charles where, for the first time, he plays a father. The problem with the marketing of the movie, though, is that people misunderstood the title and thought the movie …
Blade II,movie
After the original came yet another spectacular movie. It’s actioned packed that kept me on the edge of my seat right through. Did I mention the action? There is alot of action in this one…alot of action. Blade got the stuffing beat out of him and I enjoyed it, …
The Last Kiss DVD
One of my favorite actors, Zach Braff (from the movie Garden State, and the popular tv show Scrubs), stars in a movie from 2006 called The Last Kiss. The movie is rate R for sexuality, nudity, and language. It’s only 103 minutes, so the movie isn’t stretched out. I …

“Ted” movie
I’m not a huge fan of Seth MacFarlane. I used to like “Family Guy”, but eventually grew tired of it to the point where even the early seasons aren’t as enjoyable as I remember them. “The Cleveland Show” was just awful from the start and, while I’ve …
Dixiana movie
Dixiana was a musical from 1930 that was one of those love stories that combined the boy from the good side of the tracks with the girl from the bad side, only I don’t really get the societal norm of the time that stated that circus performers were some …

Insidious (movie)
