Halloween is coming up in about a month and, because of that, I ended up putting a movie on my Netflix list for my daughter “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.”
Sure, I could probably find this movie at any given time on several television stations closer to the holiday. …

Seth Rogen is my all-time new hero. I love that he’s shlubby, because his dry sense of humor makes him seem more attractive than he actually is. In any event, this is the whole premise of the movie “Knocked Up.” Catherine Heigl portrays Allison, …

I watched ‘Vicky, Christina, Barcelona’ last night and could certainly see glimmerings of Woody Allen’s philosophical depth and cynicism in the interactions between the three lead roles - Vicky, Christina and Juan.

As far as romantic comedies go, or better known as —˜chick flicks,’ I suppose “He’s Just Not That Into You” is okay. This movie certainly has an all-star cast, including Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, and Drew Barrymore, so even if the plot is lame, these names and faces can …

I’m not sure what I want to say about 1934’s Palooka, which I don’t think I’ve seen before, but can’t be sure. At the head of the cast list was Jimmy Durante as Knobby Walsh. I like Durante, except for when he gets over nutty. There’s …

There Fight. Our World. Transformers was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid, and was ecstatic to learn that a live action movie was being made. That excitement dropped slightly when I learned who the director is, Michael Bay. Bay is a hit or miss …

‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …
