Friday the 13th Uncut (1980), slasher film
Friday the 13th was not the first slasher movie, but it does get credit for a few things. The biggest seller point to Friday the 13th is the fact we never saw anything like this, at the time. To this day Friday the 13th has been able to stand …
Brotherhood of the Wolf-(Le Pacte Des Loups)- (2001)
Usually I don’t enjoy watching foreign films with characters I am unfamiliar with. However, I decided to give this one a try. The plot seemed very interesting. There is a beast terrorizing the countryside and killing innocent villagers. Two unlikely heroes show up to investigate and solve the mystery …

You want a weird movie? Watch Identity. Talk about a movie that will make you think! The cast is full of actors you already know such as John Cusak (Ed), Rebecca DeMornay (Caroline) and Ray Liotta (Rhodes). Everyone in the movie, all the characters, are out in the desert. …
Ocean’s Thirteen
I did not enjoy Ocean’s Eleven and Ocean’s Twelve movie very much but I really did love the Ocean’s Thirteen movie. This movie is star studded. It involves several famous Hollywood actors that is very well worth the time and effort in watching the movie. The movie is about …
Wake Me When the War Is Over movie
This 1969 movie, Wake Me When the War Is Over, is a comedy that has moderate success. I actually think I liked it better as a kid watching it. Now it’s a little on the stale and slapstick side of things for me.
The movie stars Ken Berry …

Baby Mama
I just recently watched this movie. Overall it was a pretty good movie. In the beginning I thought it wasn’t going to be all that funny. After watching all of it though it was pretty funny. I think that it would have been more on the hilarious part if …
Dragon Heart movie
When I first rented Dragon Heart, I thought it was going to be a dumb movie. I was pleasantly surprised about how good it was and have watched it several times since.
Sean Connery has always been a star but I truly feel his voice over for Draco, the dragon, …
Little Fockers
Meet the Parents was a classic. Meet the Fockers did not enjoy as much critical success as the original, but it was still thoroughly enjoyable. Unfortunately, the film to complete the trilogy is as stale and pointless as any of the other third movies you can remember.
Greg and …
Home Alone 3 (1997)
The third installation to the Home Alone franchise offers brand new characters to try and pickup where the first two made their mark. This one, without using the big names like episode one and two, introduces a new child who plans to put a damper on criminals coming into …

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (movie)
I generally like watching Justice League movies, so when I heard of the Flashpoint Paradox, I couldn’t wait to find the time to actually sit down and watch it. I didn’t even read up on the plot of it either, I just decided to leave everything to surprise this …

The Hitcher DVD
This is a remake of the classic that starred, C. Thomas Howell, from way back when. The original was the kind of thriller that you could watch over and over again. This remake was plain ridiculous. The action seemed a lot less than the original, the acting far …
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! movie
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! is a movie I recall seeing back when it was released originally in 1971. It starred Bill Bixby as playboy businessman, Johnny Gaines. Bixby did a fine job here, but it was interesting to me when I re-watched it recently that he looked tired …
Joker of the Dark Knight
For superhero lover, Joker isn’t a newbie. He’s arrogant, scary yet frightening. And he’s brilliant though. There are several actor who had played this role in the movie. But comparing all of those actors, the best one for me is the last Joker in Batman’s movie, The Dark Knight, …
The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power, Movie
I missed the second Scorpion King movie and I have no idea how I came to watch the third - but suffice to say I didn’t go into this film with my expectations held high. The only reason I decided to give this a go was because I’d seen that …
Movie “The Mist”
I adore a movie that leaves me shaking. Any film that you watch and walk away with mentally disturbed by the plot and not because they went with a cheap method of offending you is a real gem. Lots of movies go ahead and kill off the …
1408 (Movie) Starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson
I very rarely like movie commercials however when I saw the one for 1408 I liked it so much I decided to actually buy it. Though Stephen King did not direct the movie, it was based off of his book. With this in mind I was fairly certain that …
Wyatt Earp movie
When it comes to Westerns, this movie has to be one of the best ones to ever be released.
Kevin Costner does a great job portraying the legendary marshall as the movie tells the story about him moving to Tombstone. Dennis Quaid also put in a great performance as Earp’s …
Movie Children of the Corn
While i’ve never read the book written by Steven King, i’ve watched all of the movies during my childhood. i must say that now that i’ve become a Christian, I regret doing this. I have asked Jehovah God for forgiveness billions of times over.
While the movies were very gorey, …

VooDoo (Horror Movie)
If you ask me about my opinion of this movie. It is —“ “I just wasted 1 hour plus of my life! *Censored*! *Censored*! *Censored*!”
In fact, I did thought of naming this review “VooDoo - a movie to waste 1 hour plus of you life away”. But I guess, …

Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is one of those movies that people either love or don’t care for at all. I’m definitely one of the former people, which explains why I now own three copies of the movie on DVD. When I was looking through the racks of a local store and …
Columbo: Murder, a Self Portrait movie
Columbo: Murder, a Self Portrait opens at the basset hound club. I’m laughing and having a good time already. They showed a lot of the different competitions during the opening credits. The dress up category had prisoner bassets, Sherlock Holmes bassets, and flamingo bassets. What a …

Blood Diamond (2006 film)
We have all heard about Africa, we have seen reports on the news, but we have never experienced it as directly and as strongly from the screen as we do with Edward Zwick’s new visually and emotionally competent epic adventure drama film Blood Diamond.
Danny Archer (Leonardo …
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
With Temple of Doom, my rant was that it did not have enough of Raiders’ successful elements in it to make me like it the first time out. With Last Crusade, the opposite was true. It was too much like Raiders. Blatantly obvious was returning characters Brody and Sallah, …
Armageddon movie (1998)
First, and foremost, Bruce Willis. Need I say more. I have yet to see a film where Bruce Willis was not playing a part written for him or a part that he did not do justice to with his own …
The Dark Knight
The new Batman movie has been getting a lot of hype. With all the build-up, I was worried I’d be let down. I kept hearing such great things, I was worried my expectations were getting unrealistically high. Now, I can safely say, it was every bit as good I …
Drag Me to Hell (UR, 2009)
I am soooo glad that I waited to see “Drag Me to H3ll” on DVD. Had I watched it in the movies, I would have been extremely disappointed. In any case, I didn’t like that the film was too much of a dark comedy with some cheesy …
Babysitter Wanted Horror movie
I am reveiwing the new Horror movie “Babysitter Wanted”. At first I thought this movie was going to be more like a Halloween Micke Myers kind of movie but when I beheld the child with the horns in the top of his head i was more than flabbergasted.

Holiday in Handcuffs
ABC Family’s holiday movie, Holiday in Handcuffs can be summarized in three words; cute but predictable.
While I like the concept behind this movie (a waitress kidnaps a customer and pretends he’s her boyfriend at her family Christmas gathering), I do think the story used a few too many cliches …
Super 8 (2011 Movie)
For me, Super 8 was surprisingly good film considering the trailer did absolutely nothing for me. From great performances to an intense build-up of suspense, it’s a very enjoyable film.
Although the film’s director, J.J. Abrams is known for his first-person photography, this movie really benefits from the fact that …
Sin Nombre movie
I follow movies that receive attention at small film festivals like Sundance or Cannes with great interest, because I generally enjoy these movies so much more than big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. I read reviews about “Sin Nombre” after it won some international awards, and I finally saw it on DVD …

Daniel Craig is a GREAT 007
Initially I thought that Daniel Craig would not be a good James Bond. I thought he was not worthy of the 007 title. I am Bond purist. At first glance, I thought that he did not fit the style. Plus, he seemed like he had too much softness about …
Blackbeard’s Ghost DVD
Disney is the bible to family movies, and I love just about all of them. One of my favorite live-action Disney films is “Blackbeard’s Ghost” starring Peter Ustinov, Dean Jones, and Suzanne Pleshette.
