Film “Session 9″ (2001)
This was a very slow movie that I did not enjoy. The film is about a crew of asbestos removal men who are hired to clean up an old insane asylum that was shut down around 15 years before. My major complaints about this film are that …
Let Me In movie
So I rented Let Me In the other night and I must say this movie truly scared the hell out of me. It really did something to me I had not felt in years. I didn’t know this was a monster movie but was really surprised. It’s of a love …
The Heartbreak Kid, 2007 romantic comedy film
The Farrelly Brothers have been releasing a lot of duds. Trying to resurrect themselves they decided to remake the 1972 classic comedy, which shares the same name as the remake. The Heartbreak Kid is not the next big comedy from the Farrelly Brothers, it will leave you with a …

Halloween (2007), slasher film
The director Rob Zombie hasn’t really proven himself with his first two releases, House Of 1000 Corpses and The Devil Rejects. Both movies were mediocre, House Of 1000 Corpses was down right awful. Zombie’s sense of style might not have been ready for the big screen but Dimension Films …
The Postman movie
The Postman has got to rank as one of the better movies I have watched in the 90’s. I have read a lot of articles stating negative reviews but I guess we’re all entitled to our own opinion so I still suggest you give this movie a shot. It …
The movie Next Friday
This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …
My Blue Heaven
This past weekend was the first time I had a chance to sit down and watch the movie My Blue Heaven. It was an OK film but it wasn’t as good as I expected it to be and almost a waste of my time this past weekend.
I’m usually a …
The Notebook
This movie that I’ve watched before, The Notebook is really bittersweet and if you are thinking of watching it on DVD, make sure that you have your tissues standby for it’s a real sad story and bittersweet, as I’ve mentioned.
Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are the off screen …
Untraceable Movie
I thoroughly enjoyed Untraceable even though the reviews I read were poor at best. There were a few major problems I had with the movie, but given the cast and the overall plot line, it was something that I could actually get interested in. I usually let a movie …
Heartbeat movie
From 1946, Heartbeat starred Ginger Rogers as Arlette Lafron, Jean-Pierre Aumont as Pierre de Roche, Adolphe Menjou as the Ambassador, and Basil Rathbone as Professor Aristide. Having Rathbone in this role is such a hoot. That’s because the good professor teaches students how to pick pockets and …

Donnie Darko (Movie)

Storm Warning
Storm Warning is a movie full of blood, guts and gore. If you are not up for this sort of violence and horror, you do not want to watch Storm Warning! Sometimes I can really appreciate a good horror movie filled with all sort of blood and guts. Recently …
E.T. movie
E.T. is the well-known film about an alien from outer space coming to the earth and becoming a friend to a couple of children in America. Steven Spielberg started to loose his touch from the 1970s with this film in my opinion and it’s clear he only ever made …
Movie The Strangers
This 2008 release is a very disappointing movie. I’ve seen the trailer a few times so I thought it would be a good horror movie. However, I found the introduction long and dragging. There were several “quiet” scenes where the characters were just being sad and depressed and not …

“Jane Eyre” with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke
I have seen several movies based on this classic by Charlotte Bronte, and this 1983 version starring Zelah Clarke as Jane and Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester is, in my opinion, by far the best. The plot is very true to the book, and the two leading actors were …

The A-Team movie
The word of the day was skeptical. That’s how I felt about the 2010 theatrical film, The A-Team. Based on the TV series that starred the late George Peppard, Dirk Benedict, Dwight Schultz, and Mr. T, I was certain I’d hate this movie. It’s not that …

My biggest objection to Norbit the first time I watched it is I felt it …
I Don’t Know How She Does It Movie (2011)
I just have to say I don’t know how she does it- how does a talented actress like Sarah Jessica Parker gets herself in those awful, overly produced, overly censured movies every single time. I don’t know how she does it movie might have been based on an interesting …
The Founder, movie (2016)
Most of all, I like movies about how a business is created. That’s why I watched the movie The Founder with great interest. It seems that everyone knows the story of the great McDonald’s. Who Ray Kroc is and what year he met the McDonald brothers. Suddenly, it’s only a …
