Movies Reviews
Guys and Dolls
I have a lot of respect for 1955’s Guys and Dolls because it pulled off the surprise sensation of the year, musically. I recently reviewed Chicago and commented there how surprised I was at the performances of non-singers and dancers Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Renee Zellweger. …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
I have seen some bad movies in my day, but good lord does this one take the cake. I know, it’s kind of popular to hate on Michael Bay, but he can, more often than not, deliver an entertaining popcorn flick. Heck, I enjoyed the first Transformers …
The People Vs. Larry Flynt movie
This is a 1996 film starring Woody Harrelson and Edward Norton, it is the true story of Larry Flynt and his Hustler Magazine. The fact that Woody played Flynt surprised me a little, a drastic shift in style for him, he does a really good job, before this film …
“TIME AND TIME AGAIN” Movie
I have watched Time and Time Again, that many times! Starring Steve Reeve, it is the tale of a man who upon finding a way back into time, finds a true love. By true love, I mean a love he is willing to die for.
The star is whished back …
HOUSE OF WAX REMAKE movie
Umm. Yuck.
I was lucky enough to see the 1981 rerelease of Vincent Price’s original House of Wax in 3-D in theaters and it was a visual treat.
And Price make an incredibly menacing villian. In this tedious, overlong box office dud, we get quite the incredibly
unerotic Paris Hilton deliver the …
The Wendell Baker Story
If you love Owen Wilson, you will surely love watching this new latest movie out now. I managed to catch it, and this story is about an ex-convict, who tries to make a new living for himself, and works in a retirement hotel.
He wanted to win back the …
What Happens in Vegas
Reading the description of What Happens in Vegas, you would assume it is like many other romantic comedies that have come out over the years, like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or the more dramatic The Breakup. But, after watching it last night, I have to …
The Untouchables movie
A film set in the 1920s America when Al Capone ruled the criminal world. Elliott Ness, an FBI agent, sets out to stop the mob boss, and finds help from a patrol officer and an upcoming young FBI agent. Together they dig deeper and deeper into the swamp of …
Music Box
Only Laurel and Hardy could take a premise like delivering a piano to someone’s home and turn it into a forty-five minute film. It would take stars of their comedic stature to pull it off, and they do it nicely. Stan and Ollie are deliverymen. They are hired by …
House Bunny
I’m not usually a fan of these comedy/blonde movies…I usually assume they lack substance and are predictable. When I watched House Bunny however, even though it was somewhat predictable, I couldnt help but be entertained.
The movie was basically about a Playboy model who thought she was expelled by …
Dogma
Dogma was a great film. There are so many things I like about it, it would be impossible to list them all. But I will give you best parts.
Firstly the director is Kevin Smith who makes interesting films which are funny and have a fresh take on …
10 Things i Hate About You
10 things i hate about you was the breakout vehicle for the at the time unknown future stars Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. The movie is, at its heart, a romantic comedy, but what’s truly great about this movie is that it doesn’t tend to follow the usual stereotypes …
The Blind Side movie
While recently vacationing in Florida, my family and I were hit with the dilemma of nothing-to-do one of the nights we were there. So the family hopped in the car and drove to the nearest movie theater and saw The Blind Side. I was skeptical going in to the …
Showgirls movie
Showgirls is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. A lot of critics disagree and call this one of the worst movies ever made. But the movie has become a cult classic now. I love the movie because it’s one of the only mainstream movies to have lots …
Grease movie
I watched the movie “Grease” with my daughter this afternoon on DVD.
“Grease” is pretty much a classic musical which stars Olivia Newton John as Sandy and John Travolta as Danny Zuko. This movie was made in 1977. This movie is based on the play but I do think the …
Max and Mary (2009 movie)
Today, I watched one of the most wonderful animated films I have ever seen. It was a clay animated Australian film called “Max and Mary”. However, let me first begin my review by saying that it is absolutely not for children, since it contains quite a bit of mature …
Blockbuster Online
I love ordering videos from Blockbuster Online. The service is great. For less than 20 dollars a month, we can order as many videos as we like and keep them as long as we like! You can have 3 out at any time. As soon as you send one …
Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is just a fabulous movie, rich in theme and substance. No matter how many times I watch this 1967 classic, it still touches my soul.
The performances just can’t be matched. Hepburn and Tracy, in their last coupling together on film, are dynamic, …
Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword
I got home from work last night and my daughter had just started watching the movie Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword. Since I had not seen that movie yet, I figured I would take the time to watch it with her (while feeding our other daughter).
It was an …
Prince of Persia (2010)
When I told people I would be going to see Prince of Persia in theaters, they always accused me of going to see it just to watch a muscular bodied, cute faced Jake Gyllenhaal on a huge screen. I would defend myself by saying that I had actually played …
The House Bunny movie
We were watching some of our movie channels last night and came across The House Bunny.
This is the second time I’ve watched this movie in about a year now and I have to say it is still a cute and clever concept.
Well, to be honest, the only thing clever …
Movie Inkheart
I love fantasy movies and try to watch as many of them as I can, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way. The thing I did not like was that they had guns in this movie. In fact they had a lot of guns. And it is …
Demolition Man movie
Starring Syvester Stallone and a Baaad Wesley Snipes in a futuristic type action/comedy. This one also stars a furure governor of the US of A. After Stallone is imprisoned after the death of civilians cause by Snipes, they are both chilled in a stasis-like prison. Spines is thawed for …
Stuart Little
For those of us who love a great family movie which now is onl dvd, then you must watch Stuart Little. Michael J. Fox portrays the voice of Stuart Little and it is so cute you just fall in love with this family,mother played by Gena Davis, …
Suspiria
I think Suspiria is probably one of the scariest. If not the scariest movie ever made. This movie is old from the year 1977. But I still enjoy it. In fact I think older movies like Suspiria are the best kind of movies. I just loved the spooky music …

It’s a Wonderful Life by Frank Capra movie
Like thousands before me, I adore Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I initially only consented to watch the movie because James Stewart played the main role. As a teenager, he was one of my idols, and I watched every movie he played in which I could get my …
Adventureland (2009) movie

Arachnaphobia film
If you are looking for a film that will be sure to give you a creepy crawly feeling, be sure to rent Arachnaphobia.
I am not afraid of spiders (nor anything else 1000th of my size) but this movie had me checking my blankets before crawling into bed.
Starring Jeff Daniels, …
When Love Begins movie
Last year 2008 my girlfriend asked me to join her in watching When Love Begins. I knew that it was going to be another chick-flick, feel-good movie wherein you have a fairy tale ending. But being the nice boyfriend that I was, not to mention sweet, I agreed. Turns out …
The Heartbreak Kid
I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …

Movie Street kings
This was an excellent movie and I would recommend it to anyone. It has keanuu reeves and some other good actors in it. They are all LAPD, or cops in the movie. It’s hard to explain what the movie is about but I really liked it and so did …

Movie The Werewolf’s Shadow (1970)
The Werewolf’s Shadow (1970) (aka Night of Walpurgis and Werewolf vs The Vampire Woman)
Three cheers to Anchor Bay for releasing the most complete version of this Paul Naschy werewolf classic! It is a huge step up over the rotten, heavily edited VHS version BLOOD MOON that was released twenty …
Human Remains
Before Merchant and Gervais brought the mockumentary back to our screens with The Office, there was Human Remains. Although its legacy remains in the minds of those who fell in love with back in 2000, it certainly hasn’t earned the success it deserves. The show follows a simple premise: …

Twilight Saga: New Moon
For a Twilight fan like myself, wating for New Moon to be released in the theaters felt like such a long wait. I wanted to watch the sneak preview, but I couldn’t get any ticket, and it was next to impossible too on November 20, 2009, the official …
