Supernatural:Monster movie

It Takes Two movie
Mary Kate and her sister Ashley Olsen star in the movie It Takes Two. This movie reminds me a little bit of a classic Disney movie called the Parent Trap. Except that the man in this movie is a rich tycoon who made it big on making money from …
TRAITOR, The Movie Jeffrey Nachmanoff
An extraordinary film, which is supported by the story and that is not normal. Where we see from the two sides. Contrasting with the Kingdom of the most talked about police searching for evidence. But this movie, we see from the two sides are different. Not many movie scenes …

Friday the 13th Part 4
Friday the 13th part 4 is a movie that most horror movie fans either really hate, or they really love. Personally I’m a big fan, which is saying a lot for me. I tend to lean more towards the Halloween films, but this is my favorite of the Jason …

The New World Movie
Last night I was able to walk down to the local movie theatre and view “The New World.” This was a film I was pretty excited about to see because it was rarely released to local theatres, plus Christian Bale was in it.
Well, I don’t drink alcohol, but …
Robocop 3 (1993)
The third installation of the Robocop saga continues with a new character playing Robocop, I guess that the original guy got totally fed up of the whole thing and decided that it was no longer in his best interest to continue playing the cyborg police officer. In this movie, …

Film: American Gangster

Does Will Smith ever make a bad movie? Other than Ali, I mean. I watched his movie Hancock tonight and, when I got it I didn’t think it was going to be any good. It turned out to be a great film.
The movie takes a different point of view …
All the President’s Men
I’m not into politics much at all, but like most of America, I was glued to much of the Watergate hearings. All the President’s Men is the story of how we got to that point, and it’s superbly done. I remember when I first saw it in …
A Little Princess
A Little Princess is a movie made in 1995 that stares Liesel Matthews, Eleanor Bron and Liam Cunningham. This is a family movie which has an exceptional sweet and sad story. It would be one of the all time best I have seen.
I really do consider this to be …
The Death of Stalin, movie (2017)
I watched the acclaimed film The Death of Stalin. What can I say? A good comedy, similar to Monty Python’s work - in some places absurdist humor that makes the film funny in the best sense of the word.
The plot does not sag anywhere. It is interesting to watch from …
Shelter Movie (2010)
Shelter is a movie that could have been so much more. It had all the right ingredients: a great actress in the lead- Julianne Moore, a thrilling concept and some well researched information about actual rites and traditions. But the way all of it was put together, just did …
Fame (2009) movie
Recently, I watched the 2009 remake of the innovative film, Fame, which spawned a hit TV series. I wasn’t sure how I’d react to it. I liked the original movie, and I adored the series, so this movie had a lot to live up to.
The first thing …

Jenna wanted to …
Tron Legacy movie
Tron Legacy is probably the best 3D movie I have ever seen. The graphics and the images were just awesome in this movie. But even in regular HD this movie truly does rock. If you are watching it on a home system I recommend watching it with huge speakers. You’re …
Movie Ishtar
When this thing came out in the late 1980’s, it was slammed so roundly by a mass group of film critics that I didn’t even bother to go see it. I did, however, decide to “treat” myself to a cable television presentation of it not long ago …

Angels in the Outfield
One of the movies which I can remember was released in the nineteen nineties was the movie “Angels in the Outfield”. It was one of the movies I loved as a child since it was a children’s movie with a very interesting plot. It was not one of those …
Star Trek
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the new movie Star Trek this past weekend. I have seen so many attempts to re-make other movies that have gone wrong and I was afraid they might have tried to take on too big of a challenge.
However, I have to admit, …

Wild Guitar movie
What initially got my attention when the 1962 film Wild Guitar began was a shot of Revue Studios, which produced my favorite show of all time, Laramie. I’d never seen the Revue building and knowing a bit about Los Angeles, this gave me an idea of where it …
“She Devil” (1989 Film)
The 1989 movie entitled, “She Devil” was not only one that I think many people can relate, but was a fun and entertaining movie that made me laugh out loud countless number of times. This is a movie that was made quite some time ago, so I realize that …
2001 Space Idiocies
2001 Space Idiocies is the 4th episode of the 1st season of Tripping the Rift and is to me the highlight of the show’s first season. As the title gives away there is a lot of riffing off of the movie 2001: A Space Oddyssey.
This episode succeeds in …
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the best horror movies ever, but personally i prefer the older version and not the recent. The older version had so much more power to it, it expressed fear in a much more direct way, the blood was much more realistic and splattered …

Jack Reacher 2012 Film
I recommend this film to all lovers of action films and thrillers. This film was created with a very good sense of what the lovers of these genres want.

Diary of the Dead movie
After his belated return to his roots with Land of the Dead a few years prior, Romero turns prolific once more with Diary of the Dead; an interesting take on the genre with a hand held, documentary tactic employed perhaps most famously with Cloverfield.
It’s an interesting idea, and …
