Movie Mobsters
Mobsters with Christian Slater, Patrick Dempsey, Richard Grieco, Costas Mandylor, and Anthony Quinn.

The Italian Job (2003 version)
“The Italian job” is one of my all time favourites film. I think I must have watched this movie at least 5 times and I still keep watching from time to time. Although it is a remake of an older version released in 1969, this action movie has got …
The Dukes of Hazzard (2005 movie)
Remake of a popular TV series, this movie lacked the quality to keep me interested for even a short while. Where was the direction? It sure as hell didn’t leave me wanting more, I didn’t even want a little. This is yet another dumb movie that will fade away …
Movie: Freedom Writers (2007)
“Freedom Writers” (2007) was released so early in 2007 that I forgot it was eligible for the upcoming Academy Awards. Apparently so did members of the Academy because it received no nominations. The 123 minute Paramount Pictures movie is in English, filmed in color, and takes place in Long …
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 …
The Final movie 2010
The Final was a film I rented from Netflix and I chose it because someone had recommended it to me. When I read the description I was not terribly impressed and I did not expect it to be anything original or unique. Films in the genre tend …

Big Fish movie
I think Big Fish was a pretty good movie, yet it was a sad story. I really thought the stories told in the movie Big Fish were just great. This movie has a different type of setting. Big Fish is about an old man who is dying of cancer and …

The Karate Kid (2010 Movie)
The new remake of the classic movie The Karate Kid is not a disappointment. I watched the original before going to the theatre, and I still found it to be a great retelling.
There are many classic movies that cannot be remade- if Star Wars, for example, were remade, there …

Take Me Home Tonight (2011 Movie)
This is one of those movies that wastes all of it’s good scenes in the trailer to entice people to come see it. When you actually watch the whole movie, you’ll realize you’ve already seen all the good parts and you’re left with a mediocre, forgettable movie.
I missed this …

Alice in Wonderland, 2010 Fantasy film
Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is the director’s biggest film to date. Yeah sure you could say that some of his other films are better and I would agree, but this one was a cash cow. Disney knew this so in 3 short months the movie went from being …
Pearl Harbor Movie
This is a truly classic movie that had me crying even though it’s a love story/action story. The setting is in the World War where the Americans are at battle with Japan, and Kate Beckinsale is a nurse stationed at Pearl Harbor; best friends Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck …

Halloween II, 2009 Horror film
It bothers me how bad Halloween II is. Rob Zombie took a good thing he had going with his first movie and just decided to messed it all up. At times the movie felt like an action flick with horror elements. Calling this a straight-up horror movie is a …
Germany Year Zero
Legendary filmmaker Roberto Rossellini, one of the leading men of the neorealist movement in post-war Italy, completed around 40-50 films during his career. Sadly, only few of these are available to a modern audience, most have been lost or badly damaged during the years. Germany Year Zero is probably …

The House Bunny movie
We were watching some of our movie channels last night and came across The House Bunny.
This is the second time I’ve watched this movie in about a year now and I have to say it is still a cute and clever concept.
Well, to be honest, the only thing clever …

Happy Feet movie
I went to see the movie Happy Feet with my sister, brother-in-law, their kids, and a friend and her daughter. I wasn’t that big on the movie. I didn’t like it at all, in fact. Other than a good joke that was repeated so much that …
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
The best way to describe this movie is a cute teenager movie with a humoristic twist. ‘Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging’ is about 14 year old Georgia Nicholson (Georgia Groome) who simply isn’t happy with her life. She dreams of having a boyfriend and thinks that she found the …

Walking Tall
I saw Walking Tall the other day, and I must say it’s very funny. I really thought The Rock did a good job in this movie. He was very violent and kicked butt in this movie. Walking Tall is about a small town that has been turned evil by drugs. …
The Hills Have Eyes Movie
I have seen The Hills Have Eyes, both the original and the remake. After watching the original, it made me wonder why anyone would decide to remake it. Not because the movie is so great, but because it isn’t very good. Going into the remake, I didn’t think I …
Prime movie
The recent romantic comedy staring Uma Thurman entilted Prime didn’t seem to fit the usual mold. It was always my opinion that romantic comidies should make you feel good and escape from reality. Prime was a closer fit to the roller coaster that is love.
The movie had …
Fifty Dead Men Walking
Fifty Dead Men Walking is a movie which will open up your eyes to what could happen in the conflicting issues that surround different situations. I did not have any opinion at all when I watch this movie because I want to take all in and understand the whole …
Upright Citizens Brigade The Complete First Season DVD
Between 1998 and 2000 the Upright Citizens Brigade were one of the funniest sketch shows on TV. In fact the only sketch show that comes to mind that could match (and often times beat) the UCB for creativity or humor was HBO’s Mr. Show with Bob and David.
Unfortunately …
Jesse Stone: Night Passage movie
From 2006, Tom Selleck returned to TV with Jesse Stone: Night Passage, a movie I’d just as soon as have not seen. I’ve now seen two of these movies, and they have to be among the most depressing productions known to mankind. What possible thrill did Selleck …
Hollywood Land movie
I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
I think it’s because this movie was something different from what I was expecting.
I think the movie, which is about former …
Die Hard 4.0
Few have probably not heard of the Die Hard series,let alone Bruce Willis.The main character remains the same,namely John McClane (now bald),a detective that seemingly has the “talent” to enforce any given situation.In the movie,years have past since the last encounter,and McClane is trying to make peace with his …

La La Land - (Romantic Musical Film) 2016
Tears in your eyes, laughter spewing out of you and songs you find humming at odd hours? You must have watched La La Land. I’m not a person who often enjoys musicals and yet La La Land surprised me. I was enthralled, drawn into the story and of course couldn’t …

Grandview USA movie
1984’s Grandview USA stars Patrick Swayze and Jamie Lee Curtis as high school friends who discover love many years later. Surprisingly, Swayze and Curtis do well together. It’s not a pair I would normally think of, but they work for the way in which their characters are …
It Runs in the Family (2003)
The movie is starring Kirk and Michael Douglas, as well as Cameron Douglas. This movie was more of a family reunion for the actors themselves, rather than entertainment or movie of great value. Despite all the publicity and the positive exposure, in my experience, it is one hard-to-watch …
Night Of The Living Dead
This movie was written and directed by George A Romero and released in 1968, it did really well and is regarded as a classic, it was one of if not the first zombie movie, in the film the country is taken over by zombies that won’t die, the film …
Shrek Forever After (2010)
This latest sequel to the Shrek movies proves once and for all that multiple sequels are a bad idea. The movie is not as entertaining as it’s predecessors, and it becomes downright boring in many parts. While watching the movie Shrek Forever After, I get the sense …
