“Palermo shooting” movie
Seemed to be good. Wim Wenders, the desire to pay tribute to Bergman and Antonioni, Milla Jovovich and Dennis Hopper … Fans of punk certainly hoped for a successful role Campino. However, “Palermo shooting” not impressed …
Efforts to complicated reflective plot failed. Interspersed repetitive shares not fully understood, sometimes …
House Of Wax Movie
The movie House of Wax was kind of disappointing, especially considering all the hype around it just because Paris Hilton was in it. It was really disappointing, as it almost kind of made you hope she could do something besides….well we all heard about the videos. Elisha Cuthbert and …
The Matrix movie
I just love The Matrix movie. I watched it five times on the big screen. I love special effects and just from the looks of the movie trailer alone, I could already tell that I was going to love this film. True enough, I got hooked …
Cursed (Theatrical Version)
CURSED (Theatrical version)
This cinematic hairball was released in two versions on DVD: R-Rated and unrated.
I’m not sure what the difference is between the two because I saw this mess in theaters and have absolutely no desire to muddle through it again, in any version.
Wes Craven’s first werewolf film is …
Them!
My daughter wanted to watch a movie with me yesterday but I was getting a bit sick of cartoons. I ended up making her a deal. I told her I would watch a movie with her but it had to be the black and white horror movie “Them!” She …
Movie The Kingdom
It is a true pity that the movies “The Kingdom” and “Rendition” were released in the same year. I feel that these are both true exceptional movies with a great message to send across to humanity; however they will end up being compared with each other.
These movies tackle …
Hocus Pocus
Wicked fun or magic fun..? This movie, Hocus Pocus is really awesome and I have enjoyed watching it very much. It is basically about 3 witches trying to ’survive’ and live on. I don’t encourage nor support witchcraft acts but this story pokes fun at witchcraft and …

“Nine” the movie 2010
I rented the musical “Nine” because of it’s stars– in particular, Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz, two of my favorites. I had seen Kidman in Moulin Rouge so I knew she could pull off a musical. I was a bit disappointed in the film. Now I have to admit, …
Vacancy Movie
Vacancy is a movie released in 2007 starring Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale. If you think that combination sounds a little odd, don’t worry because so did I! I actually saw this movie while it was playing in the theater and I liked it enough that I actually bought …
A Doll’s House (1973)
I like movies based on plays, they usually have more depth to them. A Doll�s House, 1973, starring Anthony Hopkins and Claire Bloom, is one such movie. Action fans will probably find it slow and boring, but I enjoyed the excellent performance by both leading actors. The story takes …
Signs movie
I know many people didn’t like “Signs”. I think that is because they came into the movie with the wrong expectations. As a science fiction movie “Signs” is average. The aliens don’t make very much sense; there is no explanation of their motivation. The special effects are simple to …
Religulous (Documentary)
Religulous is a documentary by Larry Charles which features Bill Maher which basically focuses on mocking religious belief, although I will stress now that it primarily only focuses on the Western religions, extremely little to no attention at all is given on the other Wisdom Traditions. I personally find …
Teacher’s Pet movie
In 1958, Clark Gable and Doris Day starred in Teacher’s Pet. Now, I adore Teacher’s Pet, and Gable and Day are wonderful, together and individually. Still, it’s another time when I go, ‘Huh?’ at the casting. Gable was 20 years Day’s senior. In a way, it …

Ella Enchanted is a ferry tale type of movie with some similarities to Cinderella. It reminds us that there is good and bad everywhere. That we have to find our inner power to solve some of the most difficult problems that we will face in our lives. That each …

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002 Films)
The 2002 film “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” was yet again another great addition to the Star Wars movies. It has so many unique aspects that have set this movie apart from others around it’s time such as the graphics, the plot, the acting, and the pure suspense …

Hilary Swank, Rachael Leigh Cook, Ben Foster, and Patrick Swayze are a few stars in this very unusual film called 11:14 which is now available on DVD. This very unusual movie was written and directed by newcomer Greg Marcks. He actually used his inheritance from his grandmother …
The American movie
George Clooney’s The American movie had some good and bad points to it in my opinion. I will admit off the top to not being a big thriller fan, but Clooney is such a good actor that sometimes I will tune into things that I would not normally. …
The Mississippi Gambler (1953)
Unfortunately, they rarely show “The Mississippi Gambler” on television much nowadays, but, when it does come on, I consider it a personal treat, since Tyrone Power is one of my favorite classic screen actors.
In this movie, he plays Mark Fallon, a skilled riverboat gambler from an old …
Jurassic World (2015) movie
It’s been fourteen years since “Jurassic Park 3″ made its debut in theaters, and at the time of its release, interest in the franchise seemed to be waning. Perhaps by then, the “wow” factor had been starting to wear off as the 1993 hit “Jurassic Park” stunned movie critics and …

Cloverfield Movie
Cloverfield, Cloverfield, Cloverfield. Never before have I heard so many people talk about a movie, especially one that was still months away from being released. Starting several months before the movie ever came out, the strange and not very descriptive trailers hit the web and people immediately began talking. …

Angels in the Outfield

Cosplay Complex anime
“Cosplay Complex,” an anime series about girls who compete in cosplay (dressing up), is raunchy is every sense of the word. Even though
it’s classified solely as comedy anime, it did not make me laugh at loud once. This extreme lack of humor is probably why there are only three
episodes. …
Movie: Planet 51
I have seen several previews for the movie Planet 51 and thought it would be a movie that wouldn’t be nearly as good as advertised.
I was right about this.
The movie, which stars Dwayne Johnson as the voice of an astronaut who lands on a mysterious planet only to discover …
The Lake House movie
I’m usually not a big romance movie kind of guy but I do think Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock make a good film couple so I thought I would give Lake House a try.
Overall, I have to say it was a good movie, though it did remind me a …
Malco Theatre Razorback Cinema
I went to the Malco Theatre Razorback Cinema to watch the new Sherlock Holmes movie. I was impressed at how clean it was and the employees were helpful. They showed us where the theatre was and took are tickets before we went in. I’ve been …

Inception (2010 film)
In the 2010s a new director is threatening to steal the whole Hollywood show for himself-this director is quickly getting close to the very top of my list and his name is Cristopher Nolan-a film-maker whose every new film is better than the last one. His last one is …
Mandy Moore in A Walk To Remember
‘A Walk To Remember’ was a film released in 2002, was one unforgettable and must-see movie. The drama made me cry even if I watched it so many times. It’s timelessly and beautifully romantic.
The characters are alive, so true. Among the stars is Mandy Moore, teenager back then. …
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 …

HER, the movie (2013)
HER is one of the most interesting, innovative, and highly acclaimed films of 2013. Critics and audiences alike are passionate about this film. So what’s the reason? Initially, I thought it was solely because of the trendiness of this project, its sci-fi shell, and put the pretty picture.
But how …
Street Fighter (Movie)

Inglourious Basterds
I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino, with a caveat-I enjoy the action and dialogue of his movies, but I sometimes find that some of the violence is so gratuitous, that it doesn’t seem reasonable, and therefore, my enjoyment of the movie is less. I am not opposed to …
The Bourne Supremacy
Very rarely do sequels surpass there predecessors. There are some exceptions, Terminator 2, 28 Weeks Later, etc. I thought very highly of The Bourne Identity and believe that Supremacy surpasses it on every level. I was very nervous when I heard they weren’t bringing back the …
