Limitless, movie
What would you do, if you could access 100% of your brain? This question is taken to the next level, in this unbelievable action thriller, Limitless. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. Going in to this movie, I had no idea what to expect, but after I watched …
Holy Water movie
Holy Water is a comedy with a lot of good humor that justifies two rules, namely: first, the British films worth seen, and second, the presence of famous actors and directors is not a guarantee for a good movie.
In other words, I watched a movie with actors that I …
Fred Claus the movie
We just finished watching Fred Claus. The storyline did go a lot different than I thought it would. It was entertaining and I would say, worth renting or buying the dvd. I don’t think, that if given the choice, I would go pay to see it in the theater. …
We own the night
This movie is about a man who does drugs and manages a night club, most of his family are cops. I think that the movie could have been a lot better. Even though there was a lot going on I was kind of bored through out the whole movie, …
Movie Sahara
If you enjoyed watching “The Mummy” and Indiana Jones series, then you are going to enjoy watching “Sahara” which is based on the book with the same name by Clive Cussler.
In “Sahara” the actor, Matthew McConaughey is Dirk Pitt, a marine engineer and explorer is searching of ‘the …
Space Cowboys
I haven’t seen the movie Space Cowboys since my wife and I saw it years ago on one of our first dates together (we can’t remember if it was the first or second movie we ever saw together). So, when it came on a couple nights ago, I figured …
The Devil Wears Prada (PG-13, 2006) movie
It is now 2008, and I just now got around to watching “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is because I am not prone to watching films that feature implausible storylines with patchy endings, over-the-top soppy acting, and so on and so forth. But I was attracted …
The Reader movie
The reader is an Oscar winning movie. It released a bit late in my country and when it was released, I decided to see it on the very first day itself.
This film is unique in terms of showing the side of a German who was directly involved in the …
Cast A Deadly Spell, movie (1991)
There are times when some of the best movies I’ve seen were ones I stumbled across haphazardly. I first became aware of this particular film after seeing a t-shirt for it on the horror site, Rotten Cotton. A trailer for the film was viewable next to the …
Mini’s First Time (R, 2006) movie
I don’t think I realized how much of a dark comedy this was going to be. As a matter of fact, I didn’t know that it would be funny at all. The movie centers around a family comprised of a pill-popping, boozing, promiscuous mother (Carrie Anne …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is probably one of the most promoted movies of 2008 and this was supposed to be very funny and so I thought I would see the movie. This movie is made from the same people that made Knocked Up and Freaks and Geeks so I thought …
Happily N’ever After DVD
We just bought this on DVD. It looked kind of funny, but I honestly wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised.
George Carlin, Sigourney Weaver, Andy Dick, Freddie Prince Jr. and others lend their voices to the cast. Which, by the way, really was beautifully cast!
The animation …
The Guns of Navarone movie
From 1961, The Guns of Navarone is one of the most famous wartime films, and it has quite the cast to help make it that way. Gregory Peck has the starring role as Capt. Keith Mallory. Also present are Richard Harris, Anthony Quayle, David Niven, Anthony Quinn, …

Nightmare on Elm Street
I just went to see this movie in theaters last Saturday. First, let me tell you what I was expecting. When you watch the first movie that came out in the 80s, you now see a corny movie that is not at all scary. I was expecting this remake …

I absolutely love V for Vendetta!
V for Vendetta is a politically charged action film starring Natalie Portman, John Heard, Stephen Fry, and Stephen Root. Hugo Weaving stars as V, the victim of a grand politically supported medical experiment gone wrong, who becomes a masked vigilante.
Set in England, in …
Letters to Juliet movie
Letters to Juliet, a 2010 movie release, was surprisingly enchanting and entertaining. I really enjoyed it. There were moments where it slowed down a bit too much for me, and in reality, I think it could have been about ten to fifteen minutes shorter and been a …
Varsity Blues (1999)
Yet another run of the mill, dull, boring and uninterested College Football movie to sit and torture yourself through. Here it is a boy is tired of the small town that he lives and wants to make a move on to greener pastures. His family does not see the …
When in Rome movie
When in Rome disappoints big time and the story flow defies logic even if how liberal I try to think. The story is supposed to be a romantic comedy I guess. But at the end, I wonder to remember a single scene in the movie which made me laugh …
Clue movie (1985)
First time I had heard about this movie, I knew it had something to do with the game. Yet, I had never played Clue, the board game, before. I had read about it, even looked at the box at Toys R …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
The countdown to the end has begun for Harry Potter fans around the world. My family and I saw “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1” a couple weeks after release, and couldn’t be more pleased. Unlike the previous films where the screenwriters and producers left out major …

The Parent Trap III movie
Since The Parent Trap II worked with viewers, Disney decided to try it again with The Parent Trap III. My argument up front is that to do so, they had to mess with Susan’s story. In PT II, she was happily married. Here, she’s single again. …

The Invasion (PG-13, 2007)
I was all prepared to really hate this movie, or at the very least, dislike it intensely. This is because most of the films of this genre - especially those that are remakes of old classics—tend to be very poorly made. I knew this movie had …
The Bells of St. Mary’s
The Bells of St. Mary’s is the sequel to Going My Way and stars Bing Crosby as Father O’Malley out to save another part of the Church. This time, it’s not a parish that needs him, but a school which is in crisis. His skeptical foe this …
The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, vigilante film
Everything about this movie makes no sense. You have a bunch of Italian mobsters who act like flaming retards. The second hand of the mob looks like an idiot with his puffy hair and he talks sort of like an actor who is trying to talk like an Italian. …
Magnolia (movie)
When I watch a movie I really try to give it a fair chance and will sit through a lot before giving up. I approached the movie “Magnolia” excitedly. It featured William H. Macy, an actor I respect very much, and Julianne Moore who was excellent in “The Shipping …
The Five movie
The Five was a movie I happened to find while looking through adventure and fantasy films to order from Netflix. I had never heard of the actors or director but it sounded interesting so I gave it a try. The intro and credits portion was extremely long …
28 Weeks Later, science fiction horror film
I didn’t get to see this movie in the theaters when it was released. With the DVD I spent my hard earn money and popped this bad boy into my Playstation 3. When it was all said and done I was pretty glad I didn’t see this in the …
Calamity Jane movie
I love Calamity Jane. As a bit time Doris Day fan, this movie has long been a fun time for me. Day is one of Hollywood’s best, able to do drama and comedy. She can be serious and full of angst or crazy and daffy, …
Over The Hedge
I bought a copy of this movie because the cover catch my attention. I thought that it was not that good since at the start of the film it was more about stealing and being greedy, yet while I was watching it, I became more eager to finish the …
Pennsylvania Gun
I am reviewing The Case of the Pennsylvania Gun, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Anger Management (movie)
Anger Management is a movie with Adam Sander and Jack Nicholson as Dave and Dr. Rydell, respectively. You might wonder how these two actors play off each other, and I felt they did very well in Anger Management. I like Adam Sandler but really adore Jack Nicholson. Adam Sandler …
Film “The Attic”
I just watched the attic last night on Hulu. It was an ok film for something made at the low budget level. I’m not sure but I would guess this was either a straight to video or a tv release based on the production values. I …
Sombrero movie
It’s been years since I’ve seen Sombrero, and unfortunately, I just found it by accident just before it started so didn’t have time to put on a videotape or I would have. The reason being is that it introduces Rick Jason, who is an actor I always loved …
BlockBuster Video in Westford MA
Blockbuster in Westford is a very good place to rent your movies at. I liked going to this particular blockbuster because of the neatness, size, customer service and the fact that the movie I always wanted to get was always in, no matter what.
When you pull into Blockbuster you …
Lake View Terrace
Today I went to see the movie Lake View Terrace while I was out on a shopping trip. I hadn’t really planned on seeing this movie, but I had a regal cinemas gift card in my pocket and had some time to kill so I thought why not?
Lake View …
The wrong number

The Flintstones movie
I can remember going to see this movie at the theatres with a family member when I was very little. At the time I rememebr being extra excited too since I was used to watching The Flintstones cartoon a lot and I was curious to know how a film …
Mama, film by Andres Muschietti
First-time feature film director Andrés Muschietti tries with Mama, an expansion of his earlier short film similarly titled, to paint the horror genre into a warmer, more fantastical light, whilst at the same time keeping overused plot contrivances as a foundation, so that the modern audience might not feel …
From Beyond movie
Splatter movie from the same team who did Re-Animator for example. Just as with that film the story is very naive. A doctor and his friend goes mad and starts experimenting on themselves in hope of getting to a new dimension through the brain. This dimension is filled with …
Coyboy Bebop episode 1
Cowboy Bebop is a legend that spawns new legends from within itself. The first episode is no exception but is a delight to read. For those not familiar with the series, Cowboy Bebop puts the title of the music style right on the cover, in this case, Asteroid Blues. …
“I Love You Man” (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “I Love You Man” starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segal was absolutely hilarious and actually had some meaning behind it. I would definitely recommend this film to those who are looking for a dose of comedy on movie night.
Peter, (Paul Rudd), is about to get married …

3:10 to Yuma
Last week my son and I went to see the new Russell Crowe movie 3:10 to Yuma. Although this was a remake of an oold 1957 film starring Glenn Ford as Ben Wade I was surprized at how well this was done. Russel Crowe gave an outstanding and …
