A Dog’s Breakfast movie
A Dog’s Breakfast surprised me a great deal because while it was as warped as I suspected it was, but it was also somewhat enjoyable. I didn’t like some of the more graphic parts and the innuendo that resulted, but as a whole, it was oddly enjoyable.
I’m not …
Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School
My daughter, who is four, has discovered Scooby Doo and absolutely loves the show and movies.
The other day, we bought her a copy of the 1988 film “Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School.” And, as is the case with most movies she loves, she has watched the film 2-3 …
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 …
The Pagemaster
This movie is so much fun! It was made in 1994 and stars Christopher Lloyd and Macaulay Culkin, with other well known actors lending their voices and talents to the film, including Whoopi Goldberg.
When the movie begins and ends, it’s live action. But, for the …
The Elephant Man
If you are not familiar with the story of Joseph (John) Merrick, known as The Elephant Man, this movie will come as a shock. Based on a true story of a man with severe physical deformities, it is often painful to watch. John Hurt plays the unfortunate Merrick. Heavy …
Goldeneye movie
A refreshing new beginning for the Bond film series after several years of break after the flop of Licence to Kill in the late 80s. A new face for Bond and Pierce Brosnan immedietely became popular among the audience as he was both convincing as an action hero, and …
Bubba Ho-Tep movie
Normally, I like Bruce Campbell movies, but when I saw Bubba Ho-Tep, I was actually embarrassed to be watching it, and I was in the privacy of my own house.
What a stupid movie. Basically, Elvis is alive and living at a nursing home in the deep south. He ends …
The Hitcher (movie)
I honestly think it�s time for me to stop watching horror movies. They just don�t do anything for me any more. The remake of the 80s film The Hitcher proves this.
The problem with The Hitcher is it�s like every other horror film I�ve ever seen. It has two college …

The Warriors (1979 film)
The Warriors, a 1979 film directed by Walter Hill, is an action film that depicts gang warfare in New York City. This timeless film, set in an alternate world where flamboyantly dressed gangs run rampant throughout the city, artfully balances between gritty realism and surreal fantasy. The …
Blackout (NR, 2007)
This sleeper hit was about the Blackout that occurred in 2003 on the Northeast Seaboard. This movie was certainly hidden, because I’d never heard about it until I stumbled across it on Netflix. In any case, there aren’t too many big names. Sean Blakemore has a …
Movie Vanished
I have remembered this movie, Vanished, since I first saw it, but it’s been quite a while. I can’t find it anywhere, and it’s never on TV. It’s really frustrating, but it was so good to watch. The plot intrigued me, and it’s stayed with me …
Tower Heist (2011 movie)
This a 2011 movie but I watched it with my friends just recently this year. It went for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. Originally I wanted to watch MI4, but after watching Tower Heist I know that I made the right decision to watch it.
Although it wasn’t …

The Astronaut’s Wife is a film which stars Johnny Depp as he plays an astronaut who goes into space with a crew, and while doing a repair outside of the ship, is caught in an accident with a fellow astronaut. Depp comes back and appears to be fine and …
Roadkill
I watched this movie story, Roadkill on TV twice when it was telecast some time last year on my local TV channel.
It starred my favorite actor Paul Walker and a great acting by him and also Steve Zahn and Leelee Sobieski. I watched alone the first time …
Indiana Jones and the crystal skull
When I first saw the preview for this long awaited film I just about wet myself. I was so excited to see one of my favorite actors come back in one of my favorite movie series. On top of Harrison Ford being in the movie they also brought back …
Mutilation Ball
To give props where props are do: I really like the idea of Mutilation Ball, and the “sport” is animated brilliantly. I don’t know who came up with the idea of combining chain saws with basketball but for some strange reason it works, at least as it is …
The Weather Man
I am reviewing the movie, The Weather Man, starring Nicolas Cage and Michael Caine. Nicolas Cage plays David Spritz, a Chicago TV meteorologist, whose life is a complete mess. People don’t like his weather reports, as the weather is so unpredictable, and he’s usually wrong during his reports. He’s …
The Unborn (2009 horror film)
The Unborn is a horror film that I watched one evening after running across the title on the internet movie database. I was interested, even though the description of the film is brief and leaves much to the imagination.
The unborn sounded like it was going to be the spooky …
Columbo: Columbo Goes to College movie
Columbo: Columbo Goes to College is one of my favorite movie editions of the Columbo series. Robert Culp has a great role as a prominent community figure who has to deal with his college student son being involved in the murder of one of his college professors. …
An American Haunting
Director Courtney Solomon’s direction in the film “An American Haunting” was well done in some aspects. I believe that he used the elements of atmosphere to his advantage and played with it to draw the audience into the dark winter of 1818. Unfortunately, like with most of …
Phone Booth: Movie
Phone Booth is a great thriller movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. The intensity in brings is enough to keep you interested right from start to finish.
I think the running length was good at just over 80 minutes, some films like this tend to drag on and you start to …
Halloween II (2009) movie
Rob Zombie’s journey from musician to filmmaker has certainly been interesting. The goth-rocker’s journey from ‘Dragula’ to ‘Devil’s Reject’ has been an odd mix of trashy screams and atmospheric horror, Rob Zombie’s films have always been something else. And ’something else’ is probably the best way to …
Fame (1980)
A TV musical makes it debut on the silver screen and makes you want to get up and dance along. Not many movies in my eyes can make the leap from TV to cinema, but this movie along with a few others have managed to do so and still …
Leap Year movie
I’m pretty sure Leap Year is in my top five favorites for movies. Leap Year is an awesome movie that I’ve watched over and over and over. It’s just one of those movies that you don’t get tired of. Of course, it’s a total love story, so maybe that’s …

Gidget’s Summer Reunion
Over a decade since we’d last seen Gidget Lawrence, she returns in Gidget’s Summer Reunion, a 1985 made-for-TV movie. The latest Gidget is Caryn Richmond, and she made a great Gidget. She takes on more of the Karen Valentine style of Gidget, a woman who has grown …
Richie Rich
Richie Rich was a very good movie that came out in the 1990s. It is based off of the TV show that was a cartoon. But this movie is all about the real life Richie Rich. It it basically the same story as the old cartoon TV show, but much …
The Night Listener, Patrick Stettner Movie
‘The Night Listener’ is the umpteenth time from the movie Robin Williams is illicit nuances. Efforts in genres varying from the usual role he (comedy) sometimes successfully, but sometimes also appear with no convincing. For me, including The Night Listener, which is quite successful.
Gabriel Noone (Robin Williams) is …
Home Alone movie
The original and still the best. This side-splitting comedy tells the tale of a kid who thought he had wished his family away. Enjoying his spoils he indulges his child-like appetite like only a kid can. Meanwhile, two buglars are rampaging through the neighborhood stealing all in their path …
The Coffin
I think The Ring is more scarier than The Coffin. I can’t help to comment how disappointed I was at watching this movie and I guess I was so much hoping for it to be a real scary flick. But it turned out to be an emotional movie …
Fooly Cooly
I recently sat down and watched fooly cooly. Although i did not understand most of it because of its comically vague story line. The anime has a high level of animation quality and an awesome soundtrack that fits perfectly to the action of the series. Although Watching once you …
Untraceable (R, 2008) movie
“Hostel”, “FearDotCom”, “The Ring”—If you’ve seen any of the following movies, then you will be more than prepared for this tale of psycho-twisted horrific suspense. At the helm of this mini-gore feast is Diane Lane, claiming the role of a slightly wizened FBI agent. She’s …
The Fugitive movie
Starring Harrison Ford as a doctor framed for the murder of his wife, and Tommy Lee Jones as the Federal Marshall with a die-hard devotion in catching his man. It is intense and action packed with unexpected twists and turns. It’s not really a thinking man’s movie as we …
Movie “Dinner for Schmucks” (2010)
I had high hopes for this movie. I saw the previews and it looked funny, plus I enjoy Paul Rudd movies and he is the star of this film. Sadly, while his performance and the performance of everyone in the film was wonderful I found it boring. …
The Messengers
The Messengers is just a lame, dull, boring story that I have seen played in movies countless times before. I don’t understand why they should make a horror movie as such. If I am to be a Director, and I decide to make a horror movie, I …
Please Give Movie
Please Give is a quiet, intriguing little film.
A couple, Kate and Alex, and their daughter Abby own their New York apartment and the apartment next door. They had bought the other unit from an elderly woman with the understanding that on her death the two apartments would be …
Movie Fool’s Gold
“Fool’s Gold” is the second movie where we see the actor, Matthew McConaughey interpret the role of a treasure hunter. His other movie was in “Sahara”. I assumed that this movie was going to be something similar to his first movie, but I was mistaken. In this movie, McConaughey …

This movie falls in the genre of Action/Drama/Romance/Sport and stars Tom Cruise as Cole Trickle, Robert Duvall as Harry Hogge, …
21 Jump Street (2012)
21 Jump Street isn’t the greatest movie ever. In my opinion, it isn’t even close. However, that doesn’t mean that this movie isn’t worth watching. I find that it has some cheesy moments, a slight romance, but mostly comedy and action. I appreciate a good hardcore guns blazing shooting …
DVD SILKWOOD
The 1983 classic gets a barebones DVD release courtesy of MGM.

Enough Movie
This movie features Jennifer Lopez in an action/suspense movie, it was really cool watching her in fighting scenes, I never thought she could do some moves as she’s such a diva, and in this movie Enough, it’s literally her breaking free from her abusive husband who beats her even …
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 …
A Reason To Believe (movie)
A Reason To Believe is the tired story of a college student who gets raped. Charlotte is in college, has a boyfriend and everything seems to be just peachy. I will say that I love Allison Smith in this Lifetime chick flick, and she will not disappoint you because …
