“I think I love my wife” starring Chris Rock is raunchy, dirty, disturbing at times and wildy funny.
Basis of the movie is that Chris Rock plays a married man who is “****ing bored” with his life and a beautiful former friends enters the picture causing drama in …

Thor The Dark World is the second film in the Thor franchise. It was a movie that I patiently awaited after watching the previous movie. Because of the extensive hype that comes with almost every superhero movie, I waited until it came on DVD to watch it. My review …

Another silent montage film by the perhaps most appreciated director that worked with the style, next to Eisenstein - Vsevolod Pudovkin.
Looking through all of his work, I have to say Pudovkin’s films have aged a lot better than Eisenstein. While Eisenstein did all he could to make the films …

I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks again last night because I hadn’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember a whole lot about it.
Now I remember, this is a better film than you would think it is.
The movie is essentially a spoof of those …

Everyone has a rainy day movie, one that they like to watch when the weather outside is gray. You just warm yourself up a mug of hot cocoa, with marshmallows, stay in your pajamas, put up your feet, and enjoy the next couple of hours. For me, that movie …

I recently watched a movie on television that I have not seen in many years, and I completely remembered why I thought it was one of the best movies I had ever seen back then. Gangs of New York got quite a bit of flak for being extremely violent, …

For those who watched the actor, Freddie Prinze Jr. in “She’s All That” and the actress, Julia Stiles in “10 Things I Hate About You” and the recent Bourne movies, the movie “Down to You” will definitely will not impress you.
“Down to You” is a romantic movie addressed …

This movie Georgia Rule, is a very heartwarming movie about 3 generation ages. One is a grandma, a mother character, and last but not least, a grand-child. These 3 characters are played by Lindsay Lohan, Jane Fonda and my most favorite actress, Felicity Huffman. She is …

I can’t remember the first time I saw Children of the Corn, but I know that it scared the daylights out of me. Now that I’ve watched it again as an adult, the same doesn’t hold true. Honestly I’m not sure if it’s because the film is older, or …

Based on the 1960 film of the same title and directed by acclaimed director of such films as Traffic and Erin Brockovich, Steven Soderbergh, Ocean’s Eleven is a cool hi-tech comedy. Starring some of Hollywood’s most popular actors, it’s the story of Danny Ocean (George Clooney), a newly released …

A very “cool” 3D movie from Disney which depicts the survival of prehistoric animals from the changing Earth as it underwent the process of continental drifting, Ice Age is the most fun movie that I have seen (again) lately. As with all other movies that blew my mind, I …

“The Others” is a dreary, yet magical horror film-that is unlike many other supernatural horror films. The director created a dreary and sleepy backdrop to tell the story of a woman and her two children who live in a huge manor after the 2nd World War. Nicole …

I must admit that I am not an admirer of Uma Thurman’s movies. When I watched the trailer of “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” I thought that it was a cute fantasy movie with a romantic touch, however I ended up not enjoying this movie.
I must admit that I enjoyed watching …

I have to say that I loved Ace Ventura Pet Detective the first time I saw it. I must say this is probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. Jim Carey was at his very best in this movie. This was back in the …

With the removie of due out on video any day I thought I’d prepare by watching and reviewing the original movie done fifty years ago. “3:10 to Yuma” was a Columbia Picture, shot in black and white, something I really like, and lasting 91 minutes, also something I like. …

This movie is absolutely amazing.
Firstly, the casting of the characters was simply perfect. There’s no denying the newly-discovered Nikki Blonsky IS Tracy Turnblad. She can act, and she can sing (BOYYY, can she sing!). John Travolta is hilarious as Edna Turnblad, and he can really move in that fat …

Michael, this movie stars John Travolta as an angel. What kind of angel you may be asking? And the answer is…the kind with actaul wings. The character portrayed the angel as a less than holy image, one that brings the heavenly host closer to home and puts it in …

Flesh and Bone with Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan, James Caan, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The title picked up my attention, but I guess it was just a trick to get me to watch a boring mundane movie. I suppose it was meant to be flesh and …

Piper Laurie had a very nice role in Dead Like Me: Forget Me Not from season two of this quirky Showtime series. She was poignant at moments and funny at other times. She’s a class actress and she did a great service to Dead Like Me in …

I follow movies that receive attention at small film festivals like Sundance or Cannes with great interest, because I generally enjoy these movies so much more than big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. I read reviews about “Sin Nombre” after it won some international awards, and I finally saw it on DVD …

I have heard of the movie The Green Berets and have seen bits and pieces of the film in the past. But, this past weekend was the first time I had an opportunity to watch the entire movie. And, for the most part, it wasn’t terrible.

Stiller …

So the “The Greatest Game Ever Played” got a 7/10 in my book. I’ll let you know why. First, the movie is based around an inspired golfer, who is poor, and is discriminated for being such by the country club. His dad doesn’t support his dreams of becoming a …

Usually I really like those films that take place in New York, and follow groups of friends around in their fabulously “mundane” single lives. This one was a little odd. I realize that the movie is over 10 years old. But I think it’s …

The movie is believed to be based on a true story and there is nothing not terrifying about a thought out haunted house. This family moves in, suffer for 28 days …

Michael Nouri has the title role in the 1984 film, Spraggue. Glynis Johns, James Cromwell, and Mark Herrier co-star. This has all the earmarks of a TV pilot, complete with title of “Murder for Two.” It may have been shown on one of the mysteries of …

The original tale of the Amityville horror is one of the best haunted house movies around, and it’s a personal favorite because it manages to pull off a great scare without useless killings and excessive blood. This is the type of movie that reminds us all, how horror movies …

It took me a while to realize how much I really love this movie. The story is very dark. The burnt amber tones in the film provide a sick feeling throughout the production. The killer, played by Javier Bardem was one of the most …

While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …

“Hancock” is now officially my new favorite summer movies. I thought “Sex and the City” was good, but this movie blew them out of the water. First off, I do not recommend this movie for small children, or children in general for that matter. While the dialog was hilarious, …
