Movie Good Shepherd (2007)
Don’t go to the new spy drama “The Good Shepherd” expecting to see Matt Damon pull secret agent type as he does in his “Bourne” thrillers.
This Robert De Niro directed film, co starring Angelina Jolie, Billy Crudup, William Hurt, and De Niro himself, concerns weightier matters. Namely, the early …

Only Lovers Left Alive (movie)
As I mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of the actor Tom Hiddleston, not just because of his acting, but because I think he’s just downright handsome and charming. I remember that a little after the “Avengers” movie I began to wonder what other future projects he might have, …

The movie Meet the Robinsons
Meet the Robinsons looked like a cute movie from the start. When I saw the previews I could not wait to see the movie. Created by Disney I thought that it would be a wonderful addition to the collection. I did finally get to see and I was …
The Money Pit
Movies like this make me shake my head and wonder, ‘What were they thinking??’ I am not alone in this, as I see, in regards to this particular movie: I saw ‘The Money Pit’ listed among 10 worse movies done in the 1980s in one online article. I had …
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 …
Apocalypto
I don’t think I was fully prepared for what a wonderful film this would be. Set in ancient Mayan times, this film directed by Mel Gibson follows a tribe of Mayans who are in fight for their very existence when a neighboring tribe destroys their village and then …
Enchanted April Movie
The 1992 movie “Enchanted April” is a charming, almost magical movie about four women who vacation together in a villa in Italy. Lottie Wilkins (played by Josie Lawrence) and Rose Arbuthnot (played by Miranda Richardson) are two English women living in England shortly after World War I. The two …

Dracula: Dead and Loving It
Dracula: Dead and Loving It with Leslie Nielson, Mel Brooks, Steven Weber, Peter MacNicol, Harvey Korman, and Amy Yasbeck.

The Eye (Movie)
This movie is the American version of the original Japanese version’s The Eye, and I honestly think it was poorly done. The effects were much scarier and of course, the original movie was different from this one as it had omitted parts that were much scarier than by watching …
Kid Galahad movie
Kid Galahad was released one year after Blue Hawaii. I’m sure I didn’t get the connection then and in truth, it’s been many, many years since I’ve actually watched this movie. Now, I saw it several times through adolescence but I really think it’s been a long, …

The Mist Movie
The Mist is a very interesting movie to say the least. It kept me on my toes and is very intense. At times the acting could be a little cheesy but heck, sometimes you just want to be entertained and it definitely does that.
I just wish Stephen …
Tribes movie
From 1970, the movie Tribes is not a favorite. It took me three times to actually get through the movie, though I will say that once my frame of mind was preferred for the type of movie it was going to be, I got through it fairly easily.
Jan …
The Room, movie (2003)
Those who know me know I can enjoy a bad movie. Between a childhood of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and exposing myself to as much cinema I could get my hands on as an adult, I’ve seen quite a few stinkers in my experience. But just when …
Against the Ropes (2004)
This is a movie about boxing, and if you have ever seen a movie about boxing then you don’t really need to even bother yourself with this movie. The plot is very simple, it is about a woman who has offered to manage an up and coming middleweight fighter, …
Meet Dave
The movie “Meet Dave” represents an attempt from the actor, Eddie Murphy in showing that he can do something different and, at the same time, be successful. Although Murphy tried to link the comic world with the fantasy world in one movie, unfortunately he failed miserably to win over …
Borderline Cult (R, 2007) movie
If at all possible, never, ever, ever, ever rent this movie. I went online at Netflix, thinking that this was going to be an innovative horror film. I was so disappointed. The beginning is rather stark. There are three serial killers who work …

Lower City (R, 2005) movie
First and foremost I must say that you should enjoy foreign films (at least to a certain extent) before viewing this movie. Secondly, I should say that if you have seen “City of God” then you will probably enjoy this movie. And third, I must say that …
Norbit movie
Norbit was advertised as a “family film”. At least that’s what i got from the commercials. Right from the beginning, the movie throws completely crude one liners. While I found them absolutely hillarious as an adult, i found it a little inappropriate for the children in …
Movie The Dinosaur Hunter
The Dinosaur Hunter with Simon McCorkindale.
This movie actually angered me. It gave us an alluring title, but then lied to the viewer. It was not about hunting dinosaurs and had so little action that I found myself playing solitaire while watching it.
…

Mortal Kombat (1995)
This movie is based on a game of the same name, and whether that is a good or bad thing is totally up to who is going to watch it. I jumped on the band wagon and opted to go for it and take a chance that this movie …
The Sixth Sense movie
Even though I watched the movie “The Sixth Sense” when I was about eleven or twelve years old, I can still remember it as though it were just yesterday, since at the time is scared me a little and I thought the twist in the plot was unusual. It …

Sherlock Holmes (2010) Movie

Blue Valentine movie
Blue Valentine is one of those movies that show that in reality you can find the best things. Not in the rich imaginations of people. This film is fiction, but it’s very detailed, so you can forget it’s fiction, it captured the essence of reality extremely well. It’s a …
