Threads of Time (2012 Chinese Movie)

A Few Good Men
Another smashing performance from Jack Nicholson, whether he plays a good or bad character, he is always lovable. This courtroom drama is intense. Definitely a thinking persons movie.

Don’t Breathe - Horror Movie (2016)
When it comes to horror movies, I’ve been disappointed by the garbage churned out over the past decade. Most horror movies draw up on the cliches that were once innovative at the start of the decade. However, Don’t Breathe stands out for all the right reasons. It’s definitely a scary …
In Her Shoes movie
In Her Shoes is one movie every sibling should see (especially sisters). I for one saw it with my sister. But unlike the characters in the movie, my sister and I have a close relationship. Probably because we are so similar in alot of ways, unlike the sisters in …
Deja Vu
The trouble with Denzel Washington is that he is the same person in every one of his movies. Every once in a while, he has a breakthrough role that is different. Deja Vu is not that kind of role for him. Compare his role in Inside Man, Man …

Do Not Disturb movie
Doris Day stars with Rod Taylor in Do Not Disturb. It’s not a big favorite of mine, and it’s not as fun or entertaining as her movies with Rock Hudson and James Garner were. While Taylor’s other outing with Day, The Glass Bottom Boat, was a winner …

Get Smart Movie
I love Anne Hathaway, and I love Steve Carrell even more. Steve has shown so much potential through the years, his big break from Bruce Almighty made his career soar so much and I truly believe he deserves it. Anne is such a beauty and a professional actress who …
The 2003 Vampire Movie Alucard
I am yet to recall ever seeing a movie such as Alucard which screamed low budget. I never did watch it in the theatre, and for that I am indeed thankful; however, I did borrow a DVD from a friend to watch what I thought might turn out to …
Hachiko: A dog’s story
As I was searching what movie to download one day, the film “Hachiko: A dog’s story” caught my attention. I am always fond of watching movies in which animals are the main star of the film. This is about the loyalty of a dog named “Hachi” to his master, …
Ocean’s Eleven (2001)
With an all star cast of the some of biggest names in the movie making business in this movie, it is no wonder that it made such a killing at the box office. The fact that it was a remake did not seem to sway people from lining up …
50 First Dates movie

Robo Cop (2014 Film)
I remember hearing my share about the latest Robo Cop film. Many said the film was awesome and was better than the older, originals films, while others swore that the film sucked. So to say I decided to watch it for myself.
The problem with remakes of old movies …
Are We Done Yet movie
As far as movies are concerned, having a family moving into a house that is falling apart has been done so many times it’s hard to count. I mean, haven’t people heard of The Money Pit yet?
Are We Done Yet isn’t anything I haven’t seen before and, other than …
Goodfellas
Some people may say that Godfather is the greatest gangster movie of all time, and while I agree that it is an amazing movie, I believe that Goodfellas surpasses the Godfather. Goodfellas follows the rise and fall of a mob, specifically the storylines of three characters, Ray Liotta, …
From Hell Movie
Poor Alan Moore. He created some of the most visionary graphic novels to ever see print and the film adaptations almost always disappoint.

Strange Wilderness (starring Steve Zahn)
I went to watch Strange Wilderness before with my best friend and we were just choosing it at random. The cast is pretty unknown to us except for Steve Zahn, which I couldn’t quite put a name to him. And if you are trying to find Bigfoot, you …

Movie Homocide
Homicide with Joe Mantegna and Bill Macy.

SHARK BOY AND LAVA GIRL IN 3 D
It’s been a long while since I truly enjoyed a 3D movie! Most of them are gory and that is not what I enjoy. I have been watching and watching, again, a 3D movie that is really fun to watch and totally with a “G” rating. My grandsons are …

Glitter Movie
Review of the movie Glitter. 2001.
Starring Mariah Carey, Max Beesley.
No wonder screenplay writer Kate Lanier took a four-year hiatus after her work on Glitter. I’m just surprised she didn’t have extensive plastic surgery, change her name, and flee the country in disgrace. Fortunately for her however, there is plenty …
Superman 4 (1987)
This is where I believe the Superman saga got way too watered down and began feeling less like a superman movie and more like a superman flop. They have juiced it out to the point where they are now scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for some thing …
Vantage Point
The new Pete Travis film, “Vantage Point” hit number one in it’s first week in theaters. The film is not great, but is worth checking out. The idea behind the film is creative, I give it that much. The film opens with a typical “the …
Uncommon Valor movie
In the early 80’s, I remember watching this movie about Marines going on some kind of special meeting. This was one of those movies that used to air a lot on late night television, long before cable came about for most of us. I loved the movie …
