The Quiet Ones (2014 Supernatural Horror Movie)
I was actually in the mood to watch a supernatural horror movie yesterday and I couldn’t believe my good luck when I saw a description for a movie on the cable guide that looked like it would be pretty good. I’d never watched a trailer for the movie “The Quiet …
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a hidden gem of a movie. Jim Carey, in my opinion, gives the best performance of his career and funny enough, this isn’t a comedic role. Some of the movie has comedic relief, but this is in no way a …
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 …
Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …
Magic Mike film
A few of my friends had seen the movie “Magic Mike” and raved about how good it was. I didn’t really think it would be my kind of movie, so I didn’t watch it when it first came out. A few nights ago, however, I had nothing …
The Babadook (horror movie)
I’m a sucker for horror movies. Therefore it was a given that I had to check out the movie “The Babadook” once I read about it in an article online. The writer claimed it was one of the most frightening and talked about movies of the year and I was …

Irreversible film
“Irreversible” is a 2002 French film, starring actress Monica Belluci (”The Matrix” finale) and Vincent Cassel (”Oceans Thirteen”), in which the tragic events of one night in paris unfolds backwards.

The Other Guys Movie (2010)
I watched this movie because it features Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell and they’re pretty famous for doing comedies and it would be fun to watch Mark do a comedy with Will, so I watched this and I can say I’d rate it a 6 out of 10. Their …

Little Shop of Horrors movie
It was kind of hot outside yesterday and, since my wife is 9 months pregnant and can’t handle the heat too well right now, we ended up spending a good chunk of our afternoon indoors by the air conditioner watching movies.
One of the movies we ended up re-watching for …
Night of the Living Dead
Even though it was made in the 1960s, there really aren’t many movies that compare in terms of actual horror to the classic film Night of the Living Dead.
I was watching it this morning for about the 10th time and have to say it is one of the most …

1964’s My Fair Lady is definitely a movie classic. It’s a musical that continues to touch those who view it. It’s well made and excellently portrayed.

Sex And The City- The Movie (2008)
After all the long anticipation into the final story of the super sucessful show Sex And The City and all the years of talk into making the movie- the final result was more than disappointing.

Ready to Rumble movie
Back in the 1980s, you could make a movie about Pro Wrestling and people might buy into the storylines. But, with most people today realizing that the matches they see on television and pay-per-view are pre-determined, trying to make a modern movie about the “sport” just doesn’t work.
That’s why …

The second in the original star wars triogly was the Empire Strikes back. this movie in my opinion was a bridge between the first installment the Star Wars, and the third movie of the trioplogy the Return of the Jedi.

So when I went to New Moon I had the previous history with teh books and the Twilight movie …
The Corpse Bride Movie
The Corpse Bride is one of my favorite animated films ever. This movie really makes you feel the power and emotion in it. And with Johnny Dep playing the main character you know you are in for one wild ride. It was very cool to see some of Johnny Dep’s …

Someone Like You movie
“Someone like you” is a cute romantic movie with Ashley Judd as the main actress. The best way to describe this movie is a female version of “Buying the Cow” with the actor, Jerry O’Connell in the main role. Between the two movies personally I much prefer “Buying the …
The Social Network (2010 film)
Now that the Oscars is approaching, I suddenly felt the need to catch up on seeing some of the nominated titles I haven’t seen yet; I was merely checking out some of the academy’s picks, I’ve seen one or two previously, and “The Social Network” was next on my …
Movie: Vampires Suck
The movie Vampires Suck is probably the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. It is a direct spoof of all the teen vampire movies and books that have been released due to the Twilight Saga phenomenon.
There are a lot of “in-jokes” for the fans, and …
Only God Forgives, movie (2013)
Drive marked the successful collaboration between director Nicolas Winding Refn and actor Ryan Gosling. It was hailed as one of the best films of 2011. When I heard that the pair were working together again, I was very intrigued by what they could create together next. …

The Day After Tomorrow
There have been many, many movies from Hollywood which have told us exactly how we’ll die off as a human race. None took so much meaning for the time as The Day After Tomorrow. It showed what effects the weather would have on our climate. We tend to think …
Tangled animated movie (2010)
Another foray into Disney’s celebrated fairy tale genre, “Tangled” is a retelling of the classic story of Rapunzel. I grew up watching Disney’s second Golden Age, so I watched “The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin”, “Mulan”, and so many other masterpieces in addition to their creations during the first Golden …
Movie Curse of the Devil 1972
Why would you make a werewolf movie with a title that evokes an Exorcist rip-off?
More Waldemar the Werewolf fun has Paul Naschy once again donning the furry costume to bring mayhem on the villagers. Only this time, it is a pretty tired exercise that misses the fun and wacky …
Choke the movie
I watched choke last night and I was extremely disappointed. I had
read the book before which I thought was very good and the movie just
didn’t stand up by comparaison. Maybe my high hopes for the movie are
what made me feel extra disappointed. I feel like they just took the
kinda …
The Wild (movie)
To look at The Wild from a technical standpoint, the animation here was just fine. But from a story standpoint, it was hard for me to differentiate between The Wild, Lion King and Madagascar. All deal with the same issues roughly, especially The Wild and Lion King. Both deal …
Tropic Thunder movie
Directed by Ben Stiller, Tropic Thunder is one of the smartest movies that I have seen in a long while. It toys with the audience just like any good movie does, and by the time you realize what the movie is all about, the plot shifts gears and becomes …
Half-Light Demi Moore
I am a sucker for a good mystery. This movie fell into this category. I enjoyed watching it so much. It constantly kept me guessing and wondering what was going to happen next. I hate watching movies that are so boring and extremely predictable. Demi Moore did an excellent …
Grease (1978)
Let me start off by saying that this movie right here that goes by the name ‘Grease’ is the best musical movie that has ever been made and to date is still the best musical movie ever! In no other movie will you be so drawn to each character …
Return From Witch Mountain
Sequels, especially Disney sequels, rarely make it, and this one is no exception. Even casting greats like Bette Davis and Christopher Lee was not enough to make this film anything but blaise. This was one story that should have remained untold, leaving Escape To Witch Mountain to stand on …
Money Talks (1997)
This is the story of a man who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and winds up being caught up in happenings that could very well be to his detriment. After being charged with a crime and on his way to prison to …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 14
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 14 was a funny episode in its own way. It talks about falling in love at first sight. It would be hard to believe though that anyone would truly fall in love at first sight with a holodeck character though. However maybe in …
Movie Willow (1988)
Since my daughter was very young, she and I have enjoyed watching many fantasy movies over the years. One of our favorites has always been Ron Howard’s “Willow.” The talented Val Kilmer is absolutely fantastic as Madmartigan, a great swordsman who has a tendency to only look out for …

I was at a friend’s house recently and saw the movie Jezebel on the Turner Classic Movie channel, a channel I don’t get, but would love to.
