Kingsman: The Secret Service (action adventure spy movie)
Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of those movies that I just knew I had to see right after watching the trailer for the first time. The trailer gave me the impression that the movie would be funny, action-packed and overall exciting. When I did actually get the chance to …
Devils Diary
A while back I watched a movie on Lifetime Movie Network called Devils Diary. It’s became one of my favorite movies that they have ever played on there channel. It’s about these kids who find the devils diary and when you write in the book it comes true and …
Stockholm, Pennsylvania (2015 drama movie)
“Stockholm, Pennsylvania” isn’t a very popular film, and so it’s understandable even if you’re a movie lover like me and have never heard of it. I consider myself lucky because I was able to catch it when it aired recently on HBO or Cinemax.
Despite some of the negative critical reception …
Black Snake Moan (R,2007) movie
After watching this film, I think I understand why this movie did not fare so well at the box office. It’s going to take a strong stomach for the majority of Americans to be “okay” with observing a weathered black man keeping a sexually depraved young white woman on …
My Mom’s New Boyfriend (2008)
Director: George Gallo. Featuring: Antonio Banderas, Meg Ryan and Selma Blair.
It is a really good hearted and funny comedy that would keep you entertained for sure. Meg Ryan and Antonio Banderas have a strong on-screen chemistry and create memorable and lovely characters. The movie can be positioned between …
84 Charing Cross Road
This gem of a movie is unfairly little known. Made in 1987, it stars Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft who tell a touching story of a 20-year-long friendship of two people who actually haven’t seen each other face to face.
Helene Hanff (Bancroft) is a struggling writer in New York …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a movie I have watched and it’s actually a remake. What would you do if suddenly, you find yourself inheriting 40 billion dollars..? I can’t imagine that happening to me and hence, can’t think of the least or most possible way to save and spend …

Secret Window
Secret Window is a great movie. Stephen King did a great job of writing the story for this film. I also think the music as also very well done, and I really did enjoy watching the movie a lot. I think this is one of the best films made …
Nosferatu
Nosferatu is such a cool, classic movie. We are talking black and white, 1929, horror at its best. Nosteratu, if you don’t know, is a vampire. He’s a Dracula, but not Dracula. Nosferatu is a silent film and what is so very cool about it is the looks, the …
Shriner’s Circus movie
I recently had an opportunity to take my daughter to the Shriner’s Circus when they were holding it here in Beaver Dam.
While not the best circus I have ever attended, I will say it was a bit better than expected.
When I took my daughter to the Dodge County Fairgrounds, …
Spiderman 3
I went into this movie expecting it to be busy. It was, but not at first. It started off very slowly, reintroducing the main characters and situations already familiar to us from the first two movies. But, with the preliminaries out of the way, things got rockin’, starting, I …
88 minutes movie
This was a really good movie overall. Al Pacino plays in it and he plays a forensic psychiatrist. He gets a phone call and tells him that he only has 88 minutes to live. I really enjoyed watching this movie. It was entertaining, and kept my interests throughout the …
The Empty House
I am reviewing The Empty House, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The REturn of Sherlock HOlmes, which was produced in 1984 by Granada television. This episode starts with Watson grieving over the loss of his dear friend now some three years ago. Sherlock Holmes returns in …
The Shoes of the Fisherman movie
Two of my absolute favorite actors of all time, Anthony Quinn and Laurence Olivier, appear in this film about the russian Kyril Lakota, who after 20 years in a siberian prison is elected as the new pope. I don’t have to mention the acting is brilliant I guess, but …
American History X
I have long heard of the movie “American History X” being referred to from time to time from the late nineteen nineties. However, I never brought myself to watch it being that I had somehow thought that it would be another movie about America’s racist history and I did …
The 12 Men of Christmas movie
Kristin Chenowith stars in this 2009 holiday movie, The 12 Men of Christmas. Chenowith is a refreshing actress. She’s very petite with a petite, off-beat sounding voice. She’s a perky blonde who can both act and sing. When I heard about this new seasonal flick, …
The Deserter
The Deserter which has been dubbed a “Revolutionary Comedy” is about a British drummer stationed in America during the time of the American Revolution (1775-1784).
The film is shot in the style of a silent comedy and follows the misadventures of an unlucky drummer who finds himself at the …
Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Dawn of the Dead is a remake of the classic zombie film by legendary director George A. Romero. When the world becomes …
Guess Who (2005 movie)
I’m still wondering if this is a remake of the classic “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”, for it does not have the flair of the original (that’s of course, if it is a remake). Ashton Kutcher (Simon Green) co-stars with Bernie Mac (Percy Jones) in this family comedy that …
The Glass Bottom Boat in Catalina - movie short
One of my favorite Doris Day films is “The Glass Bottom Boat” in which she stars with Rod Taylor and Arthur Godfrey. From 1966, The Glass Bottom Boat in Catalina is a movie short that promotes the movie. It’s narrated by Godfrey, who goes back and forth …
Twilight (2008 Movie)
Twilight became a fast phenomenon this past year due to the hype caused by the movie that was produced. Stephanie Meyer wrote a classic novel about the love between a vampire and and human that will be a favorite among young people for generations to come. However, …
The Ramen Girl movie
I wasn’t expecting much from the movie The Ramen Girl simply because I’m not a huge Brittany Murphy fan. But, I will admit, it turned out to be better than expected.
Murphy is convincing as a woman who travels to Japan to be with her boyfriend and, after getting dumped …
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)
In my view, this movie tries too hard to follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Ring movies and by doing so it manages to sink its own ship. There are so many things wrong with this movie it is a wonder if ever made it to …
9 to 5 (1980)
Three woman gang together to over throw their abusive boss that is the whole nature of this movie, the plot is tight around this fact and it makes for a wonderful movie for all to enjoy. Dolly Parton plays the role of the under appreciated secretary, one that has …

Step Up
I love Channing, this is the first time that I saw a muscle hunk that truly can dance, minus the pants that he was wearing, too lousy. The story was about a typical two teenager that enrolled in Mary Land School of Arts. One of them was attending a …
Glory Road Movie
I loved the movie, “Glory Road.” I am a huge basketball fan, and this movie was the true story of the first coach to start five black players in the NCAA final game.
Because of the times, the movie had some lines which were no doubt truly spoken at …

Where The Wild Things Are movie
Where the Wild Things Are was a truly disappointing movie. It was rambling and didn’t seem to have any direction.
I think the problem is that it’s an adaptation of a picture book. It would have worked better as possibly a thirty minute animated film. …
Firefox movie
The young Angelina Jolie is simply delicious as the young rebel in this movie. This is a must for all Angelina Fans!

Primeval
A movie by Orlando Jones, Gideon Emery, Dominic Purcell, Brooke Langton and Jurgen Prochnow.
To me, a disppointing movie. I was really looking forward to seeing the 20 feet man-eating crocodile in full fledge actions, like what I saw with Anacondas or Lake Placid. It was not to be.
The story …
Dark Knight Rises movie
And so it ends, the “greatest superhero trilogy of all time”(TM). In 2005, Nolan introduced us to his very tormented take on Batman, the focus being on Bruce Wayne and - the trilogy’s overarching theme - fear. Then, in 2008, he upped the stakes with the epic Dark Knight, …
Because I said so
I watch ‘Because I said so’ with my mom, which was nice since I realized that my mom wasn’t that bad comparing to the people out there. The movie is about a mom and her three daughters’ and how the first two is happily married while the last one …
The Orphanage
I watched a film on DVD recently called The Orphanage. I was attracted to this film for two reasons, one being that it is all in Spanish and I love foreign films, but the other, more important reason, was that it is made by Guillermo Del Toro, the same …
Night of the Living Dead
Even though it was made in the 1960s, there really aren’t many movies that compare in terms of actual horror to the classic film Night of the Living Dead.
I was watching it this morning for about the 10th time and have to say it is one of the most …

Couples Retreat
When I first saw Couples Retreat I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The movie has gotten some pretty bad reviews and has even been in the papers for some racist actions.
Firstly I must say that the producers did a terrible thing when they edited out the …
Gigli (2003)
When will these couples learn that starring in a movie together only brings trouble, then gain, they live their lives in the publics eye anyway, so this is like second nature to them. This movie, starring Jennifer Lopez as a mobster and lesbian and Ben Affleck as a whiney …
The Warriors (1979 film)
The Warriors, a 1979 film directed by Walter Hill, is an action film that depicts gang warfare in New York City. This timeless film, set in an alternate world where flamboyantly dressed gangs run rampant throughout the city, artfully balances between gritty realism and surreal fantasy. The …
Jack and Jill (movie)
The first time I had heard of the movie “Jack and Jill” was when I had seen the trailer posted on youtube a little before the movie was released. I wasn’t particularly interested in it then, especially since a couple of people who had watched it in the theatres …
Garden State movie
Garden State is a wonderful movie that is not only well acted but beautifully done. My entire family loves this movie. Garden State is about a young man who comes home for his mother’s funeral. Andrew (played by Zach Braff) is a withdrawn, antisocial, pill popping guy who can’t …
Kung Fu Panda
Seldom do I watch animated movies. I first read about Kung Fu Panda in articles about the Cannes Film Festival and when I found out that it features the voices of Angelina Jolie and Jack Black, two of my favorite actors, I became interested. So interested in fact that …
