Gridiron Gang

Final Destination 2 Movie
There are only a few movies in this world that can out-do or come better than the original, and I’ll tell you that Final Destination 2 is not one of them. The plot is not very different from before, neither are the gruesome killings. While it is interesting to …
Save the Green Planet, South Korean film
Movies branching off into numerous genres tend to fail in the dumpster. If the director can manage to pull things off right then you have a pretty good movie on your hands. Save the Green Planet combines so many different kinds of movie genres that you will loose track …
Mighty Aphrodite Movie
Mighty Aphrodite is a great, fun movie from writer and director Woody Allen, released in 1994 I believe. It is rich with gags and one-liners all the way through so the script is great, with Woody at his best giving his funny delivery of the lines and also …
Little Man Tate movie
To-date, I have watched Little Man Tate three times. It has such an amazing topic, the subject of raising and educating individuals who are little Mozarts, like the so-called Little Man Tate in the film, who I think has that eidetic memory. There is a very tasty …
Bandolero movie
Bandolero was a really strange western with an odd theme that was quirky but alluring. It has a bouncy element to it. I actually like the theme music quite a bit. It fits the movie.
Basically, James Stewart hears about a band of outlaws that have been …

Avatar (2009 film)

Murder with Music movie

Jacobs Ladder
Jacobs Ladder is a strange movie, to say the least. I have watched Jacobs Ladder several times and still don’t know for sure if Jacob, the main character, is just a psychotic man with mental problems or if what he experiences actually happened. That is the appeal of this …
The Eye (Movie)
This movie is the American version of the original Japanese version’s The Eye, and I honestly think it was poorly done. The effects were much scarier and of course, the original movie was different from this one as it had omitted parts that were much scarier than by watching …

Movie Because I Said So
I was very reluctant to watch the movie “Because I said So”. That’s not because I’m not a fan of Diane Keaton or Mandy Moore. It’s because most romantic comedies have the same basic plot and I knew this one wouldn’t be any different.
And, I was right. However, after …

The Happening Movie
Since I first saw “The Sixth Sense” several years ago, I have been a fan of M. Night Shyamalan’s work. There is this “doomsday theme” that he always illustrate in his works. Sometimes, he offers us eccentricities in his stories which is a really good way of entertaining us. …
