The Paranormal Activity movie was amazing. I took my girlfriend to see it and we were both freaked out. There were people in the theatre crying and throwing up.
The movie starts off with a couple that move in together and the boyfriend gets a high quality camera …

The reason I tuned into Pandora’s Clock, a 1996 TV movie, was because it starred Richard Dean Anderson, who is one of my favorite performers. I’ll start with the girlish stuff and get that out of the way. In a uniform, Anderson is yummy. He just …

A few weeks ago, my wife and I watched the remake of the movie The Last House on the Left. It was an OK movie but not great and, since I had never seen the original, began wondering if it was any better or worse.
After reading about the original …

I watched Beethoven the movie last night. This movie is pretty flawed but a decent time overall, if you are into dog comedies. It stars Charles Grodin and is produced by comedy legend Ivan Reitman. It came out in 1991.
I think overall it is most notable for a few …

Paul Newman is terrific as Chance Wayne, the bad guy who surprises the town by showing up unexpectedly. He’s …

10,000BC is currently where I draw the line for horrible contemporary cinema and while the quality of Doomsday doesn’t fall quite so far, it’s perhaps in a similar ballpark. Personally I hate both parks and balls but I use this analogy with the intention of making it clear …

I watched the movie awake yesterday. It kept me interested throughout the whole movie. I didn’t want to stop watching it for anything. The thought of “anesthetic awareness” to me is scary. To think that you are going into surgery and you are not fully asleep and can still …

I am not sure why movies about war and romance always …

For what is supposed to be a comedy I suggest you bring a box of tissues.
A desire Im sure everyone shares is to be able to stop time, or skip through unpleasant events, and even to turn the volume down on life. It is those exact deisres that Click …

I had never heard of the British TV series “The Darling Buds of May” until I saw a DVD set available at our local library. Now that I have watched it, I can’t help wondering why this show is so little known; it turned out to be so good.
Based …

…become a good actor ever? Well, in ‘I am Legend’ (the tagline goes something like, ‘the last man on Earth is not alone’), Will Smith sure displays an enhanced acting routine. And that probably due to his constant exposure.
But then again, it’s not all his fault that this remake …

Becoming Jane is a movie about Jane Austen, the author of six deep and thoughtful romance novels that have all been made into movies, most of them more than once. The movie cannot be really called Jane’s biography, although there are some historical names mentioned. It so happens that …

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 …

The Incredibles.
This is the first Super Heroes’ film I have ever seen, that has a focus on a family.
This is very positive, as our children can see and extract from the film, the idea of na united family, solving their problems always joined.

Sweet Home Alabama, with Patrick Dempsey, Josh Lucas, and Reese Witherspoon, is just one of those movies that makes you feel good. Melanie Carmichael (Reese …

I was fortunate enough to be able to see this movie in the theatres and I loved it. I don’t agree with the message it sends to its viewers but I found it funny and entertaining just the same. And here’s why you should watch Knocked Up.
Knocked …

When the trailer for the movie “Transcendence” was released I have to admit that I wasn’t very interested in watching it. What made it even worse was that I had no interest in seeing the movie even later, since I was seeing too many bad reviews on it, and it …

When I first saw the cartoon “Total Drama Island” advertising on Cartoon Network, I could only think that it was quite an interesting plot and setting for a cartoon. I had never actually seen a reality show cartoon except for the “Drawn Together” series which aired for some time …

The Hangover is a great movie. But of course, do not follow what these guys have done. Basically they are on a romp for a guy’s night out, so to speak for the about to be married friend.

In 1979, Barbra Streisand and Ryan O’Neal teamed up for their second movie together in The Main Event. They’d been wildly popular with their earlier film, What’s Up, Doc? and here, they tried to make movie magic again. It’s actually not a bad movie. I enjoyed …

I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Air I Breathe” and “Vantage Point”. Both of them have a story where people who lead a complete different life style are related by an incident. It seems that there were many positive comments about “Vantage Point” and unfortunately “The …

When I was growing up, Godzilla was the ultimate movie monster. After seeing a more recent version of the series, Godzilla Vs. Destroyer, I am starting to see why he never won an Oscar.
The plot of the movie itself was decent. He once again has to fight a monster, …

Mary Kate and her sister Ashley Olsen star in the movie It Takes Two. This movie reminds me a little bit of a classic Disney movie called the Parent Trap. Except that the man in this movie is a rich tycoon who made it big on making money from …

I have had this movie in my Netflix queue for a long time. And just like so many others, I kept passing over it for some reason or another. I liked the idea of seeing Peter Dinklage (the famous dwarf featured on FX’s Nip/Tuck) in an independent …

Director Richard Linklater has one of the more interesting filmographies of his generation. His body of work started with Slacker and would give audiences classics like Dazed & Confused, Waking Life, School of Rock, and A Scanner Darkly. Working once again with Jack Black, Linklater presents an …

James Bond and his arch enemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld returns in this film which is considered as one of the worst by many Bond fans, but I personally think it’s extremely intense all the way through. The story leads Bond through several different countries, facing many dangers as usual, …

First off, I thought the character choices were great. Jennifer Lawrence …

Who ever knew that Sylvester Stallone could be a comedian, and a pretty good one at that. I have to commend the directors who put together this magnificent cast, they hit the jackpot. A mobster trying to go legit, with a comedic twist, you’ve got to love it. There …
