Envy (2004)
I thought this movie was going to be hilarious, perhaps in a silly way, but very funny nevertheless. After all, it’s got Ben Stiller and Jack Black, come on, they know how to provide some good laughs! Well, it turns out that even these two funnymen can’t do much …
Twilight Tragedy
If I can take any one thing from the new hit movie “New Moon” it would be that it is a noble, valiant thing to kill yourself over a lost loved one. What an epiphany! Actually, i am somewhat offended at the vast love people seem to have for …

Netflix
I have been a Netflix customer for over two years now. As an avid movie junkie, I have an entire database of movies to watch at my disposal. With a variety of payment plans and delivery options, Netflix has really been amazing to me. I started out by receiving …
Rambo, First Blood
They attempted a couple of sequels for the movie Rambo, First Blood, but they have never managed to copy what became a classic film and one I absolutely love.
The great thing about this movie, which features a Vietnam War Veteran who holds a town hostage after a run in …
Arrival (2016 Sci-fi Drama Film)
The way this film is marketed is truly off-putting, who else wants to watch another alien-invasion movie? I find it truly distracting that “language” is one of the main themes here but the distributor actually did not know how to communicate/market this film to the general audience. Granted, science fiction …
Moonrise Kingdom, movie (2012)
Wes Anderson, as a director, has a tendency to be too quirky for his own good. After two great films with Bottle Rocket and Rushmore, his films became inconsistent. I’m not a big fan of The Royal Tenenbaums. I highly enjoyed Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. …
Hannah Montana: The movie
As embarrassed as I am to admit I actually watched this movie, I have to say that it was not as bad as I expected it to be. In fact, when I first heard that there would be a movie for that silly show that many of my younger …
Dragonball Evolution (The Movie)
Since 1980’s, I’ve always watched Japanese anime. Most of Japanese animes are really good. That’s my personal opinion though. One of the animated films that I always love watching is the Dragonball Z series. Sometime in the 90’s, there was an animated movie on this. But just this year, …

V for Vendetta
V for Vendetta is based on a graphic novel which I had read prior to seeing the movie. I loved the comic book and was nervous going into the movie because I didn’t want to see these characters I love, not done justice. Well, justice they were …

Dawson’s Creek
When Dawson’s Creek was on the air in primetime, my daughter was a teenager. She used to bug me to watch it and we began “letting” her take over the TV to watch it each week. At first, her Dad and I would go sit outside or do …

The adults in this family must leave town on business and before they leave they recruit the services of a babysitter, a sitter that is up in age and very fragile and rigid at the same time. Unfortunately, one day the children who were being taken care of by …
Hotels for Dogs Movie
I think this is a really cute wholesome movie; it features a lot of dogs and if you’re a dog lover (or an animal lover) you should watch this, other than that, if you’re not and you can’t appreciate loving pets, then don’t watch. This movie features Emma Roberts …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.5: Queen’s Gambit

Spotlight (2015 Drama Movie)
I was not even aware the film Spotlight existed until I saw that it was nominated for several Academy Awards. Thus I did a little bit of my own research on it and saw that the topic was definitely something that I would be interested in. What piqued my interest …

The Glass House Movie
This movie had a really nice title, and I thought it had something to do with the mansion that’s all made of glass and as I expected it was, and the owners here in the movie are actually Mr. Terry (Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd) and Erin Glass (Diane Lane) who are …
Movie: Wedding Slashers
My wife and I managed to get the kids in bed by 8 last night and, since today is Thanksgiving and I didn’t have to go to work, we ended up staying up for a change and watching a movie.
We weren’t sure what we wanted to watch so I …
Our Mutual Friend
This 1998 mini-series is based on a novel by Charles Dickens. Despite many subplots, Dickens usually focused on one large theme in each of his books and explored it in great detail. In this particular work, he looks into the subject of Money. Or, to define it better, Money …
Braveheart
I’ll admit it here only: this movie made me cry. This is not easy for a macho dude like me to admit! Nevertheless, I must say that I was moved by this is story.
Mel Gibson scores a touchdown in this film. It is the story …

Movie : XII (2008 Slasher Movie)
Oh how I love watching the occasional slasher flick. Sometimes it’s great to just sit back and not have to follow any deep story-lines and just enjoy the show, and when I watched XII the other day I certainly did enjoy the show.
There is a plot of course, …
Red Eye (2005 movie)
This is a pretty straight forward thriller, meanie that is not very hard to follow and, it is a reasonable good movie. It’s about a woman who is befriended at the airport and later held captive on a flight heading to Florida. She is instructed by her captor to …

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith movie
I’m certainly one of those morons who grew up wathing the first Star Wars movies on vhs and adored them. Recently I watched the latest (and last) movie on dvd (yes, I saw it in the theatre too) and I feel ready to state my opinion on it now. …
Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
I would have to admit that Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones is certainly a step up from Episode I, although I personally enjoy Episode III the most out of the original trilogy. Whereas Episode I had the burden of introducing characters and not just setting up …
Destination Moon movie
Since everyone but my youngest daughter was asleep this morning, I figured I would sit down and find a movie to watch on TV. After some searching, I ended up settling for the 1950s film Destination Moon.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a …
Delicatessen movie
The first feature film from Jean-Pierre Jeunet who created the lovely Amelie from Montmartre a couple of years ago and A very long engagement most recently. Delicatessen is a story about the people in an apartment building, who seem to be some sort of cannibals. Some visitors are made …
Thunder on the Hill movie
Thunder on the Hill is a movie I love because it stars two actresses whose talents I’ve enjoyed for decades, Claudette Colbert and Ann Blyth. It’s a very dramatic film, even intense in places. As a young girl, it actually startled me a couple of times.
Blyth plays …
The Fighting Sullivans movie
From 1944, The Fighting Sullivans is the true story of an Irish family’s strength and togetherness. The first part of the movie shows the ups and downs of five brothers. They fought a lot, but they were completely united. Halfway through, the boys age, and the …
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Wow do I wish I owned a pair of 3-D glasses. We watched the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth last night and it was awesome. When comparing Brendon Frasier in this film with his other movies I would rank this one right up there with The …

The Hangover Part 2: Movie
The Hangover: Part 2 is a movie I, as so many others, have anticipated since its prior film. I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed as I was greeted with laugh after laugh with its comedic brilliance.
I have to say that I liked the fact that it was …
Wax Mask movie
An italian horror film that was included in a Dario Argento dvd box I got ahold of recently. The strange thing is that Argento did not direct this, so did another man named Sergio Stivaletti.
The film is set in France in the early 20th century. People are getting killed …
Gingerdead Man 2 - The Passion Of The Crust Movie
Contrary to a lot of reviews I read before watching this, I did not find this movie hilarious. To me it came off as more annoying and silly than many other B-movies and Horror Comedies; and thus, I found myself immersed in a nightmare which seemed to be a …
Notting Hill
I’m really a big fan of romantic drama. And one of my lifetime favorites is Notting Hill. I don’t know why. I just found that simple beautiful. The storyline is just perfect. The on-off of the two main characters is just brilliant. Drama used to have the same …
The Good Girl
I think this is one of the best movies ever to put into light how good an actress Jennifer Aniston is. I have always thought that she could act in movies and she has surpassed all comments saying that she can’t act and all that. Try watching The …
