Superman Returns Movie
I recently watched Superman Returns and i must say, i loved it. I wasn’t quite sure if the new superman will be able to take the old superman’s place but hi-5 to the new superman, he did the character justice. You actually believed you were watching superman.
They utilized technology …
The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb
I picked up The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb because it was cheap ($6.44) and because it looked somewhat interesting, if a bit derivative. Derivative is right, this two-part mini-series steals liberally from both the Indiana Jones franchise as well as the Mummy series.
Does the Curse of King …
Flight of the Phoenix
My wife is a huge Hugh Laurie fan so we ended up watching one of his movies the other day; Flight of the Phoenix. And, overall, I thought the movie was pretty good.
Technically, it stars Dennis Quaid and I’m not normally a fan of his. But, even he did …
Alice in Wonderland Movie

Why Did I Get Married? (PG-13, 2007)

Robin Hood: Men in Tights movie
I love Mel Brooks movies and I have to say Robin Hood: Men in Tights has to be his very best film.
Cary Elwes puts on a very good performance as Robin Hood and, even though this is a parody, may actually be the best Robin Hood I’ve ever seen …
Homeward Bound 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Homeward Bound 2, Lost in San Fransisco. This movie is a sequel to Homeward Bound 1, the Incredible Journey. Now, usually sequels are bombs and are completely unsuccessful. I don’t think this is the case here. Homeward Bound 2 was not …
Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End
Pirates 1 and 2 were sufficient movies, but perhaps they were riding too much on the originality factor. Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End really feels done before. With the same cast of characters, and dozens more, Pirates 3 seems like a 3 hour family reunion during …
Pearl Harbor movie
An Hollywood film that tries to dramatize the tragic attack on USA in the early 1940s when the japanese caused the americans to join the allies in World War II. Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett are the supposed heroes in the story. I don’t know how they got the …
Whatever It Takes - (starring Shane West)
Whatever It Takes is a movie story about love and feelings involved and finding the right one for you in the end. Acted by the cast of Shane West, David Raynr and 2 beauties, this movie story gets to me. I find it super amazing and the fact …
Open Season
When I finally got around to watching the movie Open Season this past weekend, I figured it would be a lot like the other animated movies I’ve watched recently. I was right. But, it was still entertaining.
The movie, which centers around a bear who was raised by humans but …

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 …
Movie Big Trouble

Brokeback Mountain movie

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind film
How the story unfolded was quite interesting. It’s a beautifully woven tale of two souls who, after having been separated by science, still manage to find each other again, because of a force far greater than any form of futuristic technology — love.
I enjoyed the cast of characters of …

Live Free or Die Hard
WOW! It’s the only word I could find once I watched this new Die Hard movie for the fifth time. I couldn’t honestly believe how incredibly good it was. I thought Bruce WIllis was too old to pull off that officer McClane roll again. But, then again, people laughed …

Flushed away movie
This movie is obviously a kids movie but it has adult appeal. It is made for kids with the understanding that adults will be watching. It’s not boring or dumb. Their are many songs that are made for adults to sing along with that are sung by slugs. The …
The Mirror Has Two Faces movie
Barbra Streisand directed and starred in The Mirror Has Two Faces, a 1996 movie that co-starred Jeff Bridges and Lauren Bacall. The great Bacall was stellar as Streisand’s mother. What a duo those two made. It was like watching American royalty with two great and dynamic …

Chorlette’s web
I watched the movie Chorlette’s web recently and I didn’t really like the movie at all. The movie which has Dakota Fanning in the lead role is just a mindless movie and it definitely doesn’t have any story at all. Dakota saves a piglet and she keeps it with …

Blood Diamonds

Garbage Pail Kids movie
I am now going to review a horrible movie called Garbage Pail Kids.Before, I get into reviewing,let me give a little explanation why it was made. A big thing in the 80s was a fad involving a series of trading cards targeted to kids called the garbage pail kids.These …
Pirates 3
I went to see Pirates of the carribbean 3 with my 11 year old daughter. We loved it. I thought it was better than the second one Dead Man’s Chest. Johnny Depp is hilarious.I enjoyed the part where he was “hallucinating” and there were Jack Sparrows everywhere on …
Transporter 2
What little characterization from the first movie is tossed aside as Frank…whatever his last name was is now in Miami acting as chauffeur for a politician and his family. It’s clearly a temp job, but he does get along well enough with the kid, testing the boy’s intellect …
Take Shelter (2011 movie)
“Take Shelter” is a well crafted, interesting film that deals with quite a few hard-pressing issues (mental illness, nature gone wild, apocalyptic fears, financial strife). I wish I liked it more, but it left me somewhat disappointed - I found many separate things to like about it, but they …

An American Haunting
Director Courtney Solomon’s direction in the film “An American Haunting” was well done in some aspects. I believe that he used the elements of atmosphere to his advantage and played with it to draw the audience into the dark winter of 1818. Unfortunately, like with most of …
