Movie Rocky
Rocky came out in 1976 and was written by and stars Sylvester Stallone. It is a movie that has inspired me most of my life. It’s about an average, unknown boxer who gets a shot at the Heavyweight Championship.
In the movie, the Champion, Apollo Creed, …
Sherrybaby (R, 2006)
For months I have been passing over the movie “Sherrybaby”—”thinking that it was just going to be fluffy sentimental crud that some indie films dish out. Boy was I wrong. The story is hinged on a woman who has been in jail for a few years. …
Be Kind Rewind dvd
I watched Be Kind Rewind last week starring Jack Black and Mos Def. I had high expectations of this comedy for some reason, I guess the previews just made it look like a great film. As I was attempting to stay awake thru the movie, I kept thinking”No its …
A Christmas Without Snow movie
From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …
Ready to Rumble (2000)
If you like pro wrestling in any way, shape or form, and this movie is just for you, yup, it is right up your alley and it will or will not prove to be a good thing. As this movie would have it, two sewage workers are extremely upset …
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 …

Sparkling Cyanide movie
Sparkling Cyanide from 1983 was surprisingly entertaining in my opinion. The story is taken from the Agatha Christie novel, and I’ve actually read that viewers well acquainted with the mystery novel say the movie is not in line with the book and shouldn’t even have Christie’s name on …

Motel Hell (1980) movie
Starring: Rory Calhoun, Paul Linke, Nancy Parsons, Nina Axelrod, and Wolfman Jack.
Directed by: Kevin Connor.
The villains who run ‘Motel Hell’ must be related to the family depicted in “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” which this film parodies quite often. In fact, “Motel Hell” parodies a whole list of modern …

It Runs in the Family (2003)
The movie is starring Kirk and Michael Douglas, as well as Cameron Douglas. This movie was more of a family reunion for the actors themselves, rather than entertainment or movie of great value. Despite all the publicity and the positive exposure, in my experience, it is one hard-to-watch …
The Waterboy
This movie was released in 1998 and stars Adam Sandler, Henry Winkler, Kathy Bates, and was directed by Frank Coraci. Sandler plays as Bobby Boucher, a man in his early 30’s who still lives at home with his mom Bobby has been home schooled his entire life and …

Star Wreck (DVD)
This is a DVD collection of three “Alvin and the Chipmunks” cartoons from the 1980s. I remember watching these on Saturday morning as a kid, so it was nice to see Alvin, Simon and Theodore again in action. I particularly love their theme song, “We’re the Chipmunks”, and the …
Stargate movie
A few years after I became familiar with cable television, I began to notice different science fiction television series with the name “Stargate” included in its title. Even today, I have not watched it, but at the same time am familiar with shows such as “Stargate SG1″ and “Stargate …

Forbidden Zone, movie (1982)
We each have our favorite cult classic. But, there is one for me that stands as the best one. Nothing for me can match its style or zaniness, be it Buckaroo Banzai or Toxic Avenger. The blending of 80’s new wave with the vintage styles of …
Quatermass and the Pit movie
In an ancient pit in London, something is found by archeologists. This is first believed to be some kind of bomb, but traces indicate that the pit is too old for that. A professor has another theory, which at first is laughed at, but perhaps the pit wasn’t dug …

The North Star movie
The North Star from 1943 shows the will and resolve of a good people when faced with a giant oppression. It takes place in a Polish village. The opening theme is so light and bouncy that you don’t even suspect the horror that is to come as the …
Sleepers: Movie
I found Sleepers to be quite an interesting film, mainly due to the fact that I am a fan of a good revenge story.
I wasn’t entirely satisfied at the ending, but I feel that the emotion captured by the actors was so good that it softened the blow a …

The Exorcist
I am reviewing the movie, The Exorcist, starring Jason Miller. Everyone knows what this movie is about, or regarding, so I’ll try to be brief on the summary. Jason Miller’s character, Damien Karras, is a priest who’s lost his faith. He has more interest in looking …
The Lake House movie
I’m usually not a big romance movie kind of guy but I do think Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock make a good film couple so I thought I would give Lake House a try.
Overall, I have to say it was a good movie, though it did remind me a …
In Bruges
I became interested seeing In Bruges after I found out about the cast and the great script. But nothing would have foretold me how amazing this movie will turn out. First of all, it stars Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes and it is about two hitmen (Farrell …
Possessed Movie
This is actually a Thai film dubbed in English when I saw this one, I love watching horror movies even though I get scared easily, and this isn’t exactly your good old ghost but modern horror because of it’s demonic side. This is a story about a local girl …
Dracula 2000 movie
The only disadvantage about this movie which I remember is that I thought the movie should have been a little longer. A part from that it is one of my favorite vampire movies. The movie has no old, or middle aged man playing the role of Count Dracula and …
Mad Money (2008)
This is the movie for the times that we are living in now, if only we could cook up a plan to get in our possession the old money that are going to be destroyed, then we could make better use of it. It is hard to believe that …
The Dark Knight
It has been about twenty-four hours since I sat down in the movie theater seat to see “The Dark Knight” and I still cannot stop thinking about it. Now, I must admit that “Batman Begins” was mediocre at best, but after hearing the wonderful reviews of the sequel, I …
Bean Movie
Although at some point in our lives we may relate to this almost non-speaking wobbley man in this movie named Bean (played by Rowan Atkinson) shown in 1997 (directed by Mel Smith), because of stupidity we commit every now and then, no one would dare admit it openly. …
Alien 2 Aliens Special Edition 1986 BluRay Movie
When I got Alien 1 on Blu-Ray, I continued my collection with Aliens 1986 Special Edition. I loved the original movie and when my fears were quieted about the Alien films being changed with the Special Editions or Director’s Cuts, I was looking forward to seeing what was added …
Casino Royale
Casino Royale is a remake to a more modern day version of an old James Bond movie. The new version is full of action like you would typically see in a James Bond movie. However it was a bit more violent than most I have ever seen before. James …
Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side

Inside Man (2006)
Sometimes you have an impression about a movie before you rent it. You might think it looks good based on the previews or you might really like one of the actors in the film. This was not the case when I came across the movie Inside Man. I had …
Rowan Atkinson
I think Rowan Atkinson is an actor who would deny his audience nothing. Whatever the need may be even if the scene requires him to go naked (but he only would not allow himself into frontal nudity), he would do it. But despite that, his personality as …
Takers Movie (2010)
I found this movie interesting at first because it featured a nice cast including Matt Dillon, Jay Hernandez, Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen, Chris Brown, T.I., and Zoe Saldana. The movie is all about a group of professional robbers trying a one-time, big-time heist but before they do their largest …

Keeping the Faith movie
As far as movies are concerned, I’m not really sure if Keeping the Faith is a good one or just slightly above average. I’m leaning toward the latter but feel Ben Stiller carries it a bit further than that. Without him, I don’t think this movie would be even …
