War of the Worlds 2 Movie

Summer Catch - (starring Jessica Biel and Freddie Prinze Jr.)
I have watched Summer Catch on DVD before starring Jessica Biel and Freddie Prinze Jr. They look so romantic together and I feel that they have a super chemistry together. Too bad they are not together in real life. The ending is a good one and I …

The Haunting of Molly Hartley
When my wife rented the movie “The Haunting of Molly Hartley” I wasn’t sure what to expect from it. On one hand, we’ve rented other thrillers in the past and have been very disappointed in them. On the other, the description of the movie looked someone compelling.
As it turns …
Saw V (2008) movie
Saw V is the latest instillation in the Saw’s series not much really too great to say about it except that it does keep the story going. The series itself has kind of fallen out for me but the movies have become a staple of the horror movie genre …

However, there are positive aspects to “Employee of the Month”. This …
Meet the Fockers
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed watching ‘Meet the Fockers’ when it came out on DVD. I personally feel it was much better than the prequel, ‘Meet the Parents.’ It was nice to see Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman play …
Oliver! movie
One of my all-time favorite movie musicals is the wonderfully charming Oliver! I remember seeing it in the theaters when it came out in 1968, and I couldn’t get enough of it. I adored little Mark Lester, who plays the title role, and Jack Wild, who was …
Cast A Deadly Spell, movie (1991)

300
First off, let me start off by saying that I am not a huge fan when movies are done with nearly all CGI. I like when it is used properly and peppered into the movie like a Lord of the Rings or Narnia has done in the past. …
Slither movie not worth watching
When I saw the previews for Slither on TV, I thought it was going to be a good horror movie. After all, you can’t go wrong with slimy slugs that take over people’s bodies and turn them into zombies.
Unfortunately, the makers of the movie missed big-time and turned what …
The Fourth Kind Motion Picture
This is a very interesting movie. I thought it would be like other movies that are based on true stories where it is all acted out and would maybe have some interviews with real people involved with the story in the special features, but that is not …
Quigley Down Under (Western)
I’ve never been a big fan of Westerns so I was reluctant to watch this movie (even though it is set in more modern times).
However, I was actually pleasantly surprised by this film.
Tom Selleck is awesome in this movie as his character, Quigley takes on an Australian Land Baron …
Bubble movie
“Bubble” is directed by Stephen Soderbergh. Soderbergh is the brillian mind behind such films as “Sex, Lies and Videotapes” and “Traffic”. Whats sad about this is that “Bubble” Is terrible. I’m not sure how a great director can go from hollywood blockbusters to bombing …
The Secret - The Movie
I stumbled upon this website “by chance” and found a wonderful, life-changing (yes, at least for me) movie available either as a download ($4.95) or as a DVD ($29.95) that can be ordered. After viewing the impressive trailer, I ordered the DVD and anxiously waited for “the secret” to …

American Honey (2016 Drama Road Film)
Filmmaking is a medium that should transcend people into experiences rare in reality. Magic is one way to describe this art. The images are meticulously planned that the frames almost look surreal and incalculably rich and Andrea Arnold knows this secret so she magisterially created a piece of cinema that …
The Happening movie
I am a huge fan of M, Knight Shyamalan movies, and there’s never been a one that I didn’t like for one reason or another. Even if I didn’t like the whole movie, there were at least parts of the creative process I could appreciate. In The Happening, his …

“Up in the Air” (2009 film)
Director Jason Reitman, in his third feature (after “Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking”) delivers “Up in the Air,” a more heartfelt and poignant effort than either of its predecessors-stylized in a similar way, but much more honest in its pathos-tinged comedy. It works better for me story-wise because …

Pigs vs Freaks movie
In 1984, the movie Pigs vs Freaks was aired. Oddly, it had been filmed in 1980, and in truth, it was loosely based on a game that had been written up in Time Magazine in 1970. In other words, this movie was a long time coming. …

Easy Rider is a movie about riding. Simple as that. I suppose riders all over would be able to love the movie and relate to the journeys of Billy and Wyatt, acted by Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda respectively. Well, minus the dope at least. These 2 …
