Ghost World (drama movie)
Ghost World was one of those films that I was always hearing good things about but never really took the chance to watch. I never read the graphic novel either, so I couldn’t have given you the first clue about what what it was supposed to be like, although I …
Mystery Science Theater 2000: The Movie
I thought that every Mystery Science Theater was a movie, but that isn’t really the point. There really isn’t anything very special about this episode of “Mystery Science Theater” compared to any of the others, but then there doesn’t have to be. Watching Mystery Science Theater is the next …
The movie Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory
What child has never wished they could have as much candy as they wanted? I think that if adults were honest with themselves they would realize that not only was this a dream of theirs as a child, there are still times as an adult that they wish …

He Knows Youre Alone (movie)
I think that there are two types of slasher movie fans. These are those who like gore, and those who seem to watch slasher movies mostly for the thrill of it. Nevertheless, after watching the 1980 slasher film “He Knows You’re Alone” twice, I do not think that either …
The Pride of Jesse Hallam movie
I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy The Pride of Jesse Hallam, a 1981 movie that I recently had the chance to see. I just didn’t think it would appeal to me. Plus, the star was Johnny Cash (playing the title role), and usually I don’t tend to …
Leatherheads movie
George Clooney, Rennee Zellwegger play in this movie. It’s basically about football a long time ago. It was an entertaining movie. Other than that it was just a movie. If you are looking for a good story then I don’t recommend leatherheads. If you are just looking for a …
Rosemary’s Baby movie
Over the past few years, I have been getting more and more into the horror movie genre. When I was younger, I stayed away from it. I didn’t like to get scared. As I’ve gotten older, however, I have realized that horror movies, when they are well done, can …

Pay It Forward (2001)
Watching this, Pay It Forward (2001) on the DVD the other night gave me a bit of self-confidence to embrace life more better.
The movie story stars Helen Hunt, Kevin Spacey and if you remember the talented kid from the movie the Sixth Sense, it is none other than …
The Disappointments Room (Horror Movie)
I guess this film lives up to its title, it is indeed rather disappointing. It’s boring and not scary at all.
First of all, the plot is very overused. Dana is suffering from depression and is on medication after the lost of her baby daughter. Her doctor recommended that she moved …

Bratz Babyz movie
I’ve always said, if it keeps my daughter occupied, it’s a great movie. And, Bratz Babyz is one of those movies.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb plot. A bunch of toddler girls are able to wander a mall unsupervised without anyone noticing while trying to rescue their kidnapped dog. …

Toy Story 3 Movie (2010)
In all the toy story movies I have ever watched, this was the most emotional and dramatic ever! My first comment is - it’s not really for kids, they wouldn’t even understand half of what’s going on, second, it’s cartoons for adults, the jokes are for adults, the punchlines, …
Disney’s Cinderella
If my daughter were writing this review of Disney’s Cinderella, it would be scathing. For some reason, Snow White is the reigning queen of the Disney Princesses, and she isn’t even technically a princess until the end. I smile whenever she goes into one of her rants when Cinderella …

Coraline movie
My roommate was under the mistaken impression that this was a Tim Burton film. In actuality, Tim Burton had nothing to do with it, but you can see why he would be under that impression.

To be completely honest before I had watched this movie the trailer was so disappointing that I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I just happened to want to watch a movie and came across it. However this was one of those movies that just really got to me. …

Errol Morris is one of my favorite documentary filmmakers. This time he tells the story of a strange man who verifies the quality of electric chairs for a living, hence the title. But he was also controversial for another reason. He was given a mission to travel to a …

Caffeine (NR, 88) movie
I saw that Mena Suvari (of American Beauty) and Breckin Meyer were in this offbeat comedy. I thought it would be more about a diner with quirky characters. But it’s actually about a trendy looking café in London with quirky characters. The story itself …

The Backyard is a straight-to-DVD movie documentary following the sub-culture of Backyard Wrestling, a sub-category of the prfssional wrestling you see on television. The documentary follows the lives and ‘careers’ of the wrestlers and their families. It is a very emotional experience to watch and whether you are a …

Balls of Fury
Starting from the ambiguous title, this flick sets up expectations for a superficial and possibly disgusting comedy with the kick-in-the-balls type of humor. The expectations are justified. Granted, “Balls of Fury” is a parody, but parody doesn’t have to be stupid or revolting, in my opinion.
Randy, the main character, …
Due Date: Movie
Due Date is a comedy film that I really enjoyed, despite going into it with a slight bit of pessimism due to previous reviews I’d heard.
It was much better than I expected, and had a number of laugh out loud moments that make me want to watch it again …
Bedazzled
I watched Bedazzled the movie on TV when my local channel broadcast them not so long ago.
