I am completely and wholeheartedly in love with this film. And that’s because this movie is all about satire and parody. But what is even more enticing is the the subject matter. Politically incorrect in its delivery, this movie is really a tongue-in-cheek “guide” for …

As I’ve indicated in other reviews, I’m not a huge fan of British movies. And, the Hugh Grant film About a Boy is a good example of why.
Grant plays his normal character, a single man who looks to hook up with various women and starts out lying to them …

This movie is one of my favorite. Any person that enjoys the movies about bank robbery and hacking type of movies will truly love this film. I have always enjoyed gambling and like many individuals have tried to beat the casinos by trying many different systems. This movie tells …

—˜Confessions of a Shopaholic’ is a great movie for us women. I believe that many women have —˜shopaholic’ moments where we buy all kind of things and end up not using most of them like the main character of this movie interpreted by Isla Fisher.
The first thing that really …

I really don’t believe I’ve seen many Gene Autry movies, but the other day I was bored and there was nothing, and I mean nothing, on TV so I tuned in to a 1953 flick called Winning of the West. What I love about these old movies is …

Snakes on a Plane… The title pretty much sums it up: that’s what the movie is about, snakes on a plane biting and killing people. There is no point, no deeper meaning, just that. Of course, there is some basic plot, explaining how hundreds of snakes got on an …

A lot of biopics (or movies about real people) are made about successful people who did amazing jobs in their respective fields. I can’t think of many films that do the opposite until The Disaster Artist. A movie about director Tommy Wiseau who made the worst (as some would say) …

I had completely different expectations from the Diary of a wimpy kid in large part due to a trailer that promised more surprises and maybe even a different kind of comedy that would have to develop a more intelligent humor.
But unfortunately for me and for those who were expecting …

I love sci fi or horror movies. Supernatural is one of those movies. I was scared to watch them alone at first, then I found out that they don’t tell about ghosts or anything scary like that. They tell stories about demons and devils. Ghosts …

This is a science fiction film about the first manned trip to Mars. Instead of being action as most science fiction movies are, this is a drama. It’s also a survival story, one that’s filmed pretty decently on a low budget. It’s the story of five people stuck on …

It’s probably because I’ve become desensitized a bit over the years but I remember the movie Man’s Best Friend as being much scarier than it was when I watched it last night.
The movie has a good concept, you have a genetically engineered dog rescued from the research lab but …

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 …

I think I watched almost every one of Johnny Depp’s later films before I finally got around to watching one of his first ones, Cry Baby. After seeing the movie for the first time, I can understand why it has become a bit of a cult movie.
While the overall …

I love creature movies, those scary movies where some giant animal or a bunch of tiny ones run rampant and gobble up a bunch of people. They often are free of blood and gore (something too common these days in other types of horror movies) and are just scary …
