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, …
A Christmas Carol
One of the first movies I ended up watching on Christmas Eve was George C. Scott’s version of Ebeneezer Scrooge in the 80s remake of A Christmas Carol. And, in my opinion, this remains one of the better tellings of the classic story.
Scott is perfect as Scrooge. He’s the …
Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996)
Many times over I have mentioned that certain movies do not need a sequel and for every time I mention this fact there comes another movie which is a sequel to prove that fact time and time again. Take this movie for example, the original movie was so good …
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (PG13, 2009)
I only rented this movie because I wanted to see a really intriguing suspense film with Michael Douglas. He tends to be in films that have lots of steamy action and great cinematic tension. This film was about a D.A. who was running for office. …

Jesse Stone: Night Passage movie
From 2006, Tom Selleck returned to TV with Jesse Stone: Night Passage, a movie I’d just as soon as have not seen. I’ve now seen two of these movies, and they have to be among the most depressing productions known to mankind. What possible thrill did Selleck …
Blue Valentine movie
Blue Valentine is one of those movies that show that in reality you can find the best things. Not in the rich imaginations of people. This film is fiction, but it’s very detailed, so you can forget it’s fiction, it captured the essence of reality extremely well. It’s a …
Erin Brockovich Movie
Erin Brockovich is a movie which mainly depicts the secret of women power and how to utilize that to win over the struggle against the general issues of single motherhood in our male dominated society. Julia Roberts as “Erin Brockovich” was simply superb and mind blowing.
Erin Brockovich, a …

A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Jealous Jokester movie
When Raymond Burr couldn’t film his role as Perry Mason, several movies for television were produced without him, utilizing other Hollywood stars as A-class lawyers. I really wished they hadn’t done that. It was a waste and a sham. They would have done better to have …
Beowulf (2007)
This movie is not to be confused with another movie by the same name and a similar plot which was released some time in either the late nineteen nineties or the early 2000s. I watched this movie some time either last week or the week before on a cable …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is second installment of the Harry Potter franchise. Most of the main actors are back for the sequel and the good acting is carried over from the first movie. The special effects are also an upgrade from the last one. …
Matchstick Men
Matchstick Men is a film that cons you right until the end. A con man getting conned at his own game - while this story has been told in many different versions, the intrique and suspense is no less in this film than any other. It took me …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday

Tenacious D (movie)
“Tenacious D” was a movie that I watched recently on a cable television channel. I can remember seeing the movie being promoted when it had just come out, but I had dismissed it completely because I thought that it was going to be silly, and I generally don’t find …
The Other Boleyn Girl Movie
I love classic movies that features corsets and castles and horses, and knowing this was a truly inspired story made me watch this, I was excited to see Natalie Portman portray the infamous Anne Boleyn and Scarlett Johansson as her sister. In this movie, Eric Bana as the King, …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, movie
Like many others who watched and re-watched the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy multiple times, I had high hopes for “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.” But, after sitting through the film, I was left very disappointed.
First of all, the film was too long. Now, I understand that “The Hobbit” …

This is one of the old movies that I love to watch over and over again. I love how the story was made and I was amazed by the character of Forrest Gump and it even came to the point that I did a search on the internet if …
Film After Hours
Made in the 1980’s, After Hours tells the story of one man’s nightmarish trip into the Soho area.
This is a film by Martin Scorsese that Roger Ebert deemed so intense that he considered leaving the theater and coming back later after he had pulled himself together. It seems that …
Ratatouille
Ok … this is another cute mouse movie by Disney. It’s quite alright … but I don’t think it was geared towards a wide enough audience. I thought it was so cute; the mouse cooking for the guy who wanted to be chef; and the transformation the chef made …
Vacancy
Vacancy is one of those movies that probably shouldn’t work, but somehow it does. The story picks up with a couple driving home from a party thrown by the woman’s family. They haven’t yet told anyone that they’re getting a divorce because they can’t deal with the son they …
Life of Brian movie
The Monty Python crew makes fun of old religious values. Brian is born on the same day as Jesus and is stalked by the life of this man for the rest of his life. The film is more of a series a brilliant sketches than a film with a …

Cruelty and moral irony complete circle with the ‘Saw III’. As a conclusion, ‘Saw III’ will answer the various questions that arise after witnessing two previous films. John Kramer aka Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) in conditions that are dying because of concern by the illness. However, he still has a …
Movie High School Musical 3
Unfortunatley, my girlfriend found it amusing to drag me out to the cinema to see High School Musical 3. While she found it very amusing, and very entertaining, I myself found it to be a load of cobblers. The film itself was very tacky, and seemed like it was …
Tom and Jerry Cartoons
I remember watching these two cartoon characters chase each other when I was a kid and now, years later, I find myself watching them again. Actually, I’m not the one watching it. My boy who is only 4 years old watches it all the time and there’s nothing any …

The Phantom Of The Opera (2004) Movie
A musical with a dark twist…Stunningly horrific…On your edge, nail biting…
Dumbest movie I have ever seen in my whole life. C’mon, what were the diretors thinking. Don’t waste your time people, just look at the name and walk away. This film was never meant to be made.
Rating: 1
Cheaper by the Dozen
When I first saw the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” advertise I wanted to see it badly since even though it was not the type of movie which I am generally interested in, I thought that since it had a lot of children in it it might just end …
Transformers, The Movie
It’s hard to say who was more excited about this movie when the news first hit the floor. All the sugar charged ten-year-old boys who really just wanted to see some big robots blow stuff up, or the generations of baby boomers who remember it from when they …
Paris Theatre, New York
This theater had been on my mind for years. Ever since I saw this theater on the show, Sex and the City, I have always wanted to see a film here.
I finally went recently to go see the film The Artist. I went to the 10pm showing. I was …
Ida (2013 Foreign Film)
Very rare of me to watch foreign films (films that are not in the English language) so when I do, I always make it sure that I’m going to have a good time with it. Today I choose to watch a 2013 Polish film called “Ida” because first, it won …
Fire Birds (1990)
This is the story about the United States Military and their inadequacies as it relates to the criminals having greater fire power than they do, they have better fighter pilots and better weaponry and they are drug dealers. To combat the threat, the United States Air force are in …
IMDB.com
IMDB.com (stands for Internet Movie Database) is, in my opinion, one of the best movie-related sites. You can find information about virtually any movie on it, even those that are no longer available. You can search the database for a specific movie title or a specific actor. Each actor …
Trial & Error
I am reviewing the movie, Trial & Error, starring Jeff Daniels and the Kramer guy from Seinfeld. There are two best friends. One of them is a highly respected, successful lawyer. He hasn’t lost a case. He is played by Jeff Daniels. He is engaged to be married …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
My Bloody Valentine 3D, The remake of the 1981 version by director George Mihalka, definitely is one worth seeing. Personally I think the 3D effect should be used in all horror films. 10 years after Harry Warden wakes up from a coma, he goes on a killing rampage know …
The Santa Clause (1994 Movie)
“The Santa Clause” is a 1994 Christmas movie starring Tim Allen. In 2002, it was released on DVD with some bonus features in addition to the movie. Scott Calvin, played by Tim Allen, a man that’s successful in business but not so successful at being a father, finds himself …
Jurassic Park Trilogy
This has been a Steven Spielberg film and having typecast him by the viewers with movies that have extraordinary themes, I supposed this would be another unforgettable movie and so it was, although he just directed parts 1 and 2 because the one who directed the third part was …
Movie Ruby
Ruby is a very spooky and very demonic movie. If you get scared easily, then it’s better that you don’t watch Ruby. Ruby is about spirit mediums and demon possesion. It’s a very dark and sinister type of film. Another thing about it, is that it’s a very old movie …
The Princess Diaries
“The Princess Diaries” was Anne Hathway passport to success and also opened her way to other interesting and challenging roles such as “The Devil’s Wears Prada” and “Brokeback Mountain”. What I find interesting about this actress in the fact that even though she didn’t work on a huge list of …
The Hills Have Eyes Movie
I have seen The Hills Have Eyes, both the original and the remake. After watching the original, it made me wonder why anyone would decide to remake it. Not because the movie is so great, but because it isn’t very good. Going into the remake, I didn’t think I …
