Bad News Bears movie
When I was growing up, the Bad News Bears movies were very popular. So, when the remake came out staring Billy Bob Thorton, I was skeptical.
However, after watching it for the first time, I have to admit it was actually entertaining and some parts of the film were actually …

300 film
“300″ is a 2007 movie based on Frank Miller’s awesome graphic novel showcasing the Battle of Thermopylae between the Spartans and the massive army of King Xerxes. It is ultra violent, ultra stylized and ultra intense. It is also ultra awesome.
Pros: Where do I start? …
Sherlock Holmes movie (2009)
Usually, I like movies directed by Guy Ritchie, but Sherlock Holmes misses the mark. This movie fails to hold together any plot or any interest for the viewer. I think I know what they were trying to achieve, but it does not succeed. The dialog is trite and almost …

It was almost …
Deja Vu
Deja Vu was another movie I was looking forward to having the opportunity to see. I enjoy watching Denzel Washington movies and figured this one would be the same way. It was a good movie too. It was at least as good as I thought it would be, but …
Deep Impact (1998)
Deep Impact is, yes, one of those catastrophy-blockbusters dealing with the subject of an asteroid hitting the Earth, and the way humanity tries to deal with it. All in all, it is a mediocre film, but in a way it did catch my attention. I think there’s much more …
Nora
I watched this film last night, never even having heard of it before. It was made in 1999 and stars a very young looking Ewen McGregor and Susan Lynch. The film tells the story of the stormy relationship between the Irish writer James Joyce and his wife Nora, who …
Movie: The Box
Oh how trailers can be deceiving, this weekend my older sister and I went to the movie theater in search of some action to spice up the night. An hour before we had seen a trailer for a movie called The Box, sounded pretty mysterious. …
UHF, movie (1989)
For over 30 years, “Weird Al” Yankovic has been the biggest name of musical parody. No one was spared from his biting musical barbs, be it Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, or Coolio. His venture into feature film was brief due to box office disappointment for UHF. …
The Secret War of Harry Frigg film
This is another Paul Newman film, and it’s probably my favorite of his. It’s called The Secret War of Harry Frigg, and it’s a World War II war comedy. Newman is Harry Frigg, a man who is always in trouble with the Army and though he gets …
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 …
Movie 2012
“2012″ will remind you a lot of other big disaster movies, such as “Independence Day” and “The Day After Tomorrow”.
So here’s a little background on the predictions this movie is based around - one of the earliest civilizations - the Mayans, predicted there would be great change to …

Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors
One of my favorite films in the Nightmare On Elm Street series is the third installment Dream Warriors. With a talented cast which includes Patricia Arquette, Lawerence Fishbure and Jennifer Rubin and a dynamite premise which acted as if part two never happened, Dream Warriors is one of …
Scary Movie IV
A friend was nice enough to offer to take me to see “Scary Movie, IV.” I have always enjoyed the spoof movies, such as “Airplane,” and my friend said that those writers were also involved in the “Scary Movie IV” deal.
We laughed all the way through the movie. …
Les Miserables (2012 movie)
The experience I had with this movie was the same I had with my previously watched movies based on Novels, which was out of the world. I don’t know why I found novel based movies so interesting and exciting. Perhaps, it’s because novel writers have some great skills to …
American Dreamz

Movie The Hangover
The Hangover was definitely a guy’s comedy. Telling the story of the morning after a friend’s bachelor party, where the 3 groomsmen wake up with no memory of the previous evening, a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in the closet, this movie definitely appeals to the …
Shrek 2 movie
I’ve just finished watching Shrek 2 for the first time - yes, I know, took me a while to get to it. Especially since I enjoyed Shrek 1 and looked forward to see the sequel.
Overall, I was not disappointed. The movie has the same refreshing humor with non-traditional twists …
Way of War
OK, I’ve always thought Cuba Gooding Jr. was much better in comedies than dramas (with a few exceptions). But, the movie Way of War does more than prove me right about that.
This movie, which casts Gooding as a special operations assassin, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I think they …
Sucker Punch (2011) 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 …

“Ice Twisters” the movie 2009
Just from reading the synopsis on Netflix, Ice Twisters looked as if it was going to be a lower budget copy-cat disaster movie with a weather theme. That’s exactly what it was. But, to be fair, it was enjoyable, more so than I would have expected. When the film …

Superman Returns (2006)
Why oh why of why!!! Why is it that whenever a remake of a Superman Movie is done, the only character that they seem to pair as his nemesis is always Lex Luthor. Look at the extremely large list of enemies that Superman has, choose a different character to …
LAND OF THE DEAD movie
LAND OF THE DEAD
It seemed that George Romero would never make another zombie film. Twenty years had passed since the release and flop of the over-rated DAY OF THE DEAD and nary a new Romero Zombie film was in sight.
Actually, this film was bouncing around in development for a …
Ultraviolet (2006)- DVD
2006’s Ultraviolet has an awesome concept. A virus has been discovered that alter humans who are affected by it and transforms them into enhanced beings, which way later on in the film you find out are supposed to be vampires. These affected people are considered outcasts. These “enhanced” humans …

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
This movie could be looked at in one of two ways: a take on David and Goliath, or the traditional bully theme. Either way, it is a pleasant comedy with several delightful characters and oddities. It involves a hostile takeover attempt by Goliath Globo Gym owner White Goodman (Ben …
Love, Actually movie
Love, Actually, is a very strange movie to nail down and categorize. Overall, it is, of course, a romantic comedy, but it is wholly unique from other members of the genre. Instead of relying on two star crossed lovers to tell its tale, Love, Actually, features a very large …
Film “Grownups” (2010)
I really have a mixed opinion on this movie. If you like more than 1 other Adam Sandler movie or any Kevin James film you’ll like this. If you thought Kevin James was funny in that mall cop movie this movie is your style and you will …
Flood! movie
The seventies were big on disaster films, and Flood! was right smack in the middle of it. Obviously, the natural disaster at the heart of this movie is a flood, made possible by a lot of rain and an official who refuses to open the dam gates.

Hangover Part 2 movie
I am not exactly a big fan of sequels, so when I heard that they intended to make Hangover 2, I was more than a little skeptical. I absolutely adored The Hangover and it is among my friends’ favourites when it comes to comedy as well. It made me …
The Strangers (2008)
I was surprised that the movie, The Strangers (2008) make the cut. I thought it was going to be another cheap flick or something, but it turned out that the story is real good. Masked strangers invaded the lives of Kristen McKay acted by Liv Tyler and …
Tokyo Story (1953 film) from Criterion Collection
I need to recover from watching too many Audrey Hepburn movies and TCM over cable television. I wondered why this film always made it to everyone’s list of favorite movies. In an effort to change my film source, I looked at some hard to find copies of …
