Charlie’s Angels
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Charlie’s Angels. The last version I watched was the sequel, which I hated, so it was refreshing to see the original again.
While some parts of the movie are a bit dumb, this film, overall, isn’t too bad.
You have an all …

Black Christmas, movie (1974)
Slasher movies based on holidays are so commonplace that they have become cliched. Thankskilling, April Fool’s Day, Halloween, Leprechaun, Uncle Sam, and My Bloody Valentine are some of the big examples. All we need are movies for Yom Kippur and Colombus Day. Heck, some can make …
Transformers
Transformers. Once again the world of comic books strikes it big in the box office. Transformers has been popular since it’s debut early in July. For the most part I enjoyed the film. The special effects are to be commended. Shia LeBouf does a great job as the boy-next-door …
Terry Tate Office Line Backer

Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines
Everyone has a rainy day movie, one that they like to watch when the weather outside is gray. You just warm yourself up a mug of hot cocoa, with marshmallows, stay in your pajamas, put up your feet, and enjoy the next couple of hours. For me, that movie …
Dolores Clairbourne
I watched the movie “Dolores Clairbourne” for the second time recently with my brother. I watched it because it was based on the novel by the popular horror and thriller writer Stephen King who is one of my favourite authors, and even though I didn’t know what the movie …
The Secret (R, 2006) movie
You will probably recognize her as Juno’s hyper teenage BFF. But Olivia Thirlby proves otherwise in this 2006 thriller called “The Secret.” The DVD cover art may throw you off. You may think that this is some seedy Lolita movie in which the teen wraps …
Bratz Kidz Sleepover Adventure
My daughter absolutely loves the Bratz. It doesn’t matter if it’s a doll or the latest movie, she needs to have it.

The movie has …

The Accidental Tourist movie
After watching this movie I started to be a great fan of William Hurt’s acting abilities. I must say that I also observed his performance in the more recent “The Good Shepard” and it seems that Hurt hasn’t lost his touch! Unfortunately, although “The Accidental Tourist” is all about …
Project X movie
When I saw Matthew Broderick as the leading actor, I naturally assumed the movie Project X would be a comedy. I was wrong. However, as far as dramas are concerned, I have to say this is one of the better movies I’ve seen.

The Hangover

Film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Dazzling, sadistic, moving and creepy, there are far more adjectives to describe Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory than there are golden tickets for Charlie (the character that the original story by Roald Dahl was named for) to find while devouring chocolate bars.
Poor Charlie, while being poor economically …
