Mystery Science Theater 3000, movie (1995)
Influential films and programmes come in all shapes and sizes, ones that inspire you to go out and make videos yourself. I find there are three categories of influential media: first are the ones that you’re told changed how the media industry works, like —˜Citizen Kane’ or —˜Birth or …

The Mississippi Gambler (1953)
Unfortunately, they rarely show “The Mississippi Gambler” on television much nowadays, but, when it does come on, I consider it a personal treat, since Tyrone Power is one of my favorite classic screen actors.

Dolores Claiborne
It’s a shame that this film, based upon the book by Stephen King, doesn’t get as much notice as some of his bigger hits. While the likes of Misery and The Shining are certainly worthy of the praise heaped upon them, and plenty of others are certainly worthy of …
Mission Impossible 3 (movie)
My boyfriend and I are serious movie freaks…we own a serious amount of DVD’s and go to see new movies all the time. So naturally, we went to see M:I 3 on it’s opening weekend. Theatres were packed. Line ups and waits were ridiculous. And as always, you had …

It is about a young man so into rock and roll, …

This is actually a pretty old movie and the first movie that I had ever seen Channing Tatum in. Now, he is more popular than ever, but when this movie came out, I don’t think he was all that popular. Anyway, this is probably the movie that picked up …
Movie Hairspray
I watched the movie Hairspray this evening. This was the 2007 updated version. I have to admit that I did not really like the original movie. I did not expect too much from this version.
Hairspray is a musical/ comedy.
I have to say though in my opinion, …
Angels in the Outfield
One of the movies which I can remember was released in the nineteen nineties was the movie “Angels in the Outfield”. It was one of the movies I loved as a child since it was a children’s movie with a very interesting plot. It was not one of those …

Betrayal movie
From 1974, Betrayal is a movie I didn’t enjoy watching and which I don’t ever want to see again. I’m actually very sorry I sat through it this one time. The thing is that the description on the DVD case indicated it was another movie called Betrayal, …

Pineapple Express
Have you guys ever watched Pineapple Express before..? Well, I have and it is a nice comedy that I love watching pretty much. Don’t know why movies that star kind of dumb actors work really well. An example would be Jim Carey. In this case, the …

Back in the early 1990’s my sister and I had a resurgence of our love for the music group Abba. For years we had heard their music and loved it but this was such a resurgence that we were practically eating, drinking and sleeping the group. Part of our …
Parents movie
Parents is a very old scary movie. But by todays standards it’s looked upon as a comedy instead of a horror movie. It’s a very dark yet funny movie. I guess that is why it’s called a dark comedy. But when I watched this film as a kid, I thought …
“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998 film)
Obviously, it’s difficult to discuss any film adaptation without analyzing how well it sticks to the source material, and “Fear and Loathing” is one of those rare cases where the movie remains almost unbelievably parallel to the book, with entire passages of narration and dialogue used verbatim from the …
Nationsal Treasure film

Gosford Park dvd
When I ran across this dvd at my local bargain shop for less than three dollars, new still in packaging I purchased it because I had heard from numerous sources that Gosford Park was an exceptional film. I had hopes of being at least mildly enetertained during this film.

Disney’s Hercules

James Woods is absolutely hilarious as Hades, and all of the characters are fun and interesting. …
Trespass (movie)
I was completely clueless that the movie “Trespass” even existed until someone made me watch it very recently. After watching it, I liked it so much that I couldn’t help but recommend it to people who are looking for a good suspense and thriller movie to watch. This was …
Cadillac Records movie
As soon as I heard that this movie was going to be released in theatres, I tried my best to avoid it since I knew it would start the singer/wannabe actress Beyonce Knowles; as I really dislike her and think she ruins every movie she appears in. Nevertheless, some …
Imaginary Playmate

Movie: “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”
I recently saw the classic movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” for the first time. I can now understand why it’s a classic. The deeply disturbing story with its tragic, haunting twist ending has lingered in my mind days after watching it.
My husband picked the movie out for …
Witness
A screenwriter’s dream, this movie is often used as a model for budding screenwriters, to show them how a story should be structured. It is tightly structured in its three acts, and well played out.
Lukas Haas is the witness, Samuel Lapp. He witnesses a murder. What makes him a …
Unlikely Angel movie
Unlikely Angel is a holiday movie from 1996 which stars Dolly Parton as a rather selfish country music performer (aside from the selfish part, not a big stretch … again) who dies suddenly. Being egotistical, Ruby Diamond can’t enter Heaven without doing a good deed first, so it’s …
Movie How to Deal
Once again, I have to admit, I’m becoming more and more impressed with Mandy Moore whenever I see her in a movie. And, this time it was on Lifetime.
Her film How to Deal is actually an interesting look into the mind of a teenager. She comes from a divorced …

The movie, the Adventures of Milo and Otis is as a great family film with just the right amount of adventure mixed with plenty of cuteness.
