Out movie
Out, aka: Deadly Drifter, from 1982 is, well, strange. I’m not even sure how to describe the plot, if there was a plot. This collection of scenes had a unique start in how the title was present, and I give it points for that. However, considering …

Dora: Save the Day movie
It really does take an entertaining cartoon to keep my daughter quiet for 30 minutes. The movie Dora: Save The day, accomplished the impossible, keeping her quiet for almost 2 hours.
All four episodes on the DVD were good, especially the episode that had Dora, Boots and Swiper trying to …
The Proposal movie
I am reviewing the 2009 movie, The Proposal, starting Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, and Betty White.
The plot to this movie is quite simple. Sandra Bullock plays a mean, severely unlikeable boss, who, when threatened with deportation, blackmails her assistant into pretending that they are married. There’s only …

America’s Sweethearts
This movie has some great actors in it, including Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones, but it’s not a movie I’d sit and watch over and over again. It’s a great Cinderella type movie, but it’s just not my favorite of all time chick flick. This movie feels like the …
Stronger (2017 Biographical Drama Film)
For what it’s worth, biographical dramas are too often hard to pull off. Directors and storytellers need to be cautious with the underlying melodrama that this type of movies usually evokes. While it’s good for some viewers, experienced moviegoers looking for good or better films are going to be disappointed …
Gormenghast Movie
A very unusual british film about a noble family in a state of crisis. Gormenghast is the name of their enormous mansion. It’s a more artsy kind of film than I had first expected, with long takes and innovative camerawork. It also has some interesting aspects in the mood …

Orgazmo

The movie, about a Mormon, Joe Young, who is …
Tenacious D (movie)

Chloe Movie (2010)

In 2009, Paramount decided to reboot the long running “Star Trek” franchise with a new series of movies that scrapped the previous continuity and showed us a younger, less experienced Enterprise crew.

Midway movie
In 1976, Midway was released. This large, star-filled ensemble cast tells the story of the battle of Midway. For me, there are pluses and minuses to this production.
I do enjoy the story of the battle. It was important in World War II, and the story should …
Donnie Darko (Movie)

Medea’s Family Reunion
Should I be annoyed? I really don’t know. Why do we as women allow our decisions, especially when it comes to love and marriage to be clouded by perception? The perception of friends, relatives and society, as to what is ideal and what is ‘necessary’?
In Tyler Perry’s …
Totally Recalled
Totally Recalled is one of the more enjoyable episodes of the Tripping the Rift series. The plot revolves for once about Gus, the android played by the brilliant Maurice LaMarche. In fact LaMarche is showcased a lot in this episode, as he plays not only Gus but a …
Batman Begins 2005 Movie

Back to the Future Part 2
Sequels usually flop, unable to capture the magic of the original. Rare cases include Superman II and The Empire Strikes Back. Back to the Future Part 2 joins that rare class, mainly because it is told partly from within the first movie. The filmmakers incorporated scenes from the first …
The Notebook
I don’t usually like romance books or movies because to me they all seem to be way too unrealistic for my comfort, even though ironically I love things such as good fantasy novels and movies and horror novels and movies. This was why I first shied away from the …
Network movie
What a deeply prophetic and darkly funny film this is. The performances from Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway and William Holden are absolute perfection, and Sidney Lumet’s directing is brilliant as well, but the screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky is the true diamond of this movie. It is shockingly …

Wreck It Ralph is a fantastic movie, both for kids and for adults. It is very family-friendly, and a great flick for a movie night.
