The Incredible Mr. Limpet DVD
I’ve always liked The Incredible Mr. Limpet from the time I first saw it as a child. It’s just a delightful motion picture that is clever and wonderful to watch. Below are a few thoughts on this DVD, now that I happily have it as part of …
Sin City (2005 movie)
A great telling of the stories by Frank Miller. It’s dark, it’s mysterious, it’s dangerous, and as the tagline says…”Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything.” Of all the many stories that were told, the best one to me is the story …
“To Kill a Mockingbird” (1962)
“To Kill a Mockingbird” is an excellent movie based on the Pulitzer Prizewinning novel by Harper Lee. Screenplay is by Horton Foote. Like all good movies it can be viewed on various levels, but I tend to think of it as a childhood memoir. The movie is told from …
Get Hard - Comedy Movie (2015)
Get Hard is a comedy movie starring Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell. Despite all the negative reviews I’d heard about the movie I decided to watch it. While I wasn’t impressed with the plot of the movie, I found myself not taking the movie seriously and laughing at the jokes …
Clue movie
I am reviewing the movie, Clue, starring Tim Curray. This movie is based off of the board game, Clue. Who did it? With what? Where? When? These are the main questions one has to ask. Was it Mr. Green, Colonal Mustard, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. White, …
Madagascar 2
I recently had a go at Madagascar 2 since the release of the first one. I remember the tons of popular names in the show that I really didn’t know who at that point of time.
I used to wonder how a lion and a zebra could co exist too. …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice movie
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, released in 2010, starts out a bit surprisingly in my mind by giving what is essentially a recap of the history of Merlin. I understand it because it is the exposition that really explains what the movie is going to be about, which is Balthazar …
Land of the Lost movie
I have a mixed feeling after watching Land of the Lost. In a way, I feel “lost”. There are some good parts in this movie and some not so good parts. It’s a funny movie with dinosaurs and many more exotic creatures that we will never be …
An American Werewolf in London movie
This is a mixture between comedy and horror about two young american men who goes on a trip to England. They are attacked by a werewolf out in the misty english landscape. One of them dies right there, while the other survives but is later tranformed into a blood-thirsty …
Movie Man of the Year
I wasn’t sure what to think when they cast Robin Williams as a presidential candidate in the movie Man of the Year. But, after watching the film last night, I do think it is better than I expected it to be; though I’m not sure its his best film.
Williams …
Ex Machina - Science Fiction Thriller Movie (2015)
Ex Machina is by far the best movie I’ve watched in 2015. I’ve watched it twice in theaters because I just couldn’t get over how amazing it was. (Some spoilers below)
The story is about a young man named Caleb Smith who works for Bluebook, a popular search engine, almost like …
The Boss of it All
The Boss of it All is a movie that I love watching. It is very goofy, and makes fun of the corporate industry, and what really goes on inside. It targeted and has a sarcastic message to those bosses who have it all, and making wry decisions.
The …
Ratatouille (2007 film)
The 2007 children’s animation movie “Ratatouille” is a fun family film that kept me entertained and laughing as I watched a rat long to be a chef, and work with a man in France to not only further the humans career, but be able to cook delicious foods that …
American Pie: The Naked Mile
When the original American Pie was released it instantly became a huge hit. It was followed by American Pie 2 and American Wedding. The series seemed over when American Wedding was released, but many were wrong. American Pie: The Naked Mile, is the 5th in the American Pie series. …
Ocean’s 13
Far better than Oceans 12, Oceans 13 is a fun movie. This movie is as filled with celebrity as all of the other two Oceans movies. Full of double and triple crosses, this is as much a move about conmen as robbery.
The problem that I have had with every …
The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio (drama movie)
This is one movie that will definitely appeal to us baby boomers, but certainly not us alone. Being born during that period of mass marketing and eye-catching consumption has probably influenced many of us to more fully appreciate and understand the deep lessons that this movie delivers. Nevertheless, the …
Semi-Pro
I don’t know if this movie was supposed to be funny or not but I just didn’t really enjoy it. It’s about a struggling basketball team and Will Farrel is the coach that has to try and bring it up out of its slump. It was kind of a …
101 Dalmations
Recently I watched the movie 101 dalmations and I just thought of putting my feelings about the movie into words and take some pain of my head. It is a very boring and absolutely lousy movie. I didn’t know that such boring movies can be made. The story is …
Twilight- Movie
My thirteen year old daughter is in love with the Twilite Movie. She has even read the book she liked it so much, and she is not one to read a book if it wasn’t an assignment. I can’t say as I loved the movie, but it is a …
The Rundown (starring Dwayne Johnson)
I love watching The Rundown very much. The movie stars Seann William Scott and the ever hunky Dwayne Johnson. I watched it on TV yesterday and it was action pack, double duo fun. Was talking to my mom that it’s an unlikely duo of Dwayne and Seann. …

College (DVD Release)
Star Power : None of great note.
Synopsis : Three highschool seniors take a weekend trip to check out a college.
Positive Aspects Of The Film :
1. As you’ve most likely figured out from the title, this is yet another college sex film ala 1980’s, “Revenge Of The Nerds”. …
A Few Good Men
Another smashing performance from Jack Nicholson, whether he plays a good or bad character, he is always lovable. This courtroom drama is intense. Definitely a thinking persons movie. A drama worth the time and money spent. The staring roles with adequately placed and they pulled off a magnificent performance. …
Predators (2010): the movie
Predators, a big-budget blockbuster in the predator versus alien series, is different from the other films in that it takes place on a distant planet. In the previous predator versus alien titles, the action took place on earth, with both the aliens and predators being visitors on our …
Jumanji (movie)
When I was much younger, I had a sleepover with one of my aunts and she rented a video of a movie that she thought I would like to see. It was a few years after Jumanji was released and I never heard of the movie before that night, …
New Moon movie
I saw the movie New Moon. The second installment in the Twilight series, when it first came out and at the time thought it was ok. I recently tried watching it again and realize that it was very disappointing.
I did like the beginning when Alice threw the party for …
Premonition
Premonition is one of those strange movies that nearly everyone hated, yet I really liked. I wouldn’t say that it’s one of my favorite movies, but I liked it enough to buy it. Unlike other movies where you have a hard time believing that the two leads are interested …

Movie The good night
I must admit that I was confused about the introduction of the film “The Good Night”. To be honest, I thought I had put the wrong DVD in my DVD player and had to check it out. I confirm that “The Good Night” directed by Jack Parlow, brother of …
Exorcism of Emily Rose movie
A true story that is hard to believe by the people.
The movie was focused in the issue of God and Demons. And the most debate-able topic of Catholic church involving to exorcism. There is a lot of situation like this happening around the globe and mostly to asian countries …
The Notebook Movie
I watched the movie The Notebook some time ago and thought it was a pretty decent, unique movie. But, today, I ended up watching it again. I’m not sure why. But, I just didn’t like the film as much as I thought I did.
Perhaps my views and preferences have …
Pollyanna Movie
Pollyanna is a classic, a Disney, feel-good movie with a message to think positively no matter how hopeless life may get. Make lemonade from the lemons is essentially what Pollyanna is about.
Hayley Mills stars as the adorable Pollyanna who is sent to live with her Aunt Polly after …
The Lifeguard (2013 Film)
I was curious about the romance drama film The lifeguard, when stumbling across it on the internet movie database website. I was intrigued by the cast list and the controversial storyline. I figured since Kristen Bell was the lead role, the movie would be pretty good since she is a …
The Island movie
If there ever was a movie that made you think about cloning and all the moral dilemas with it, The Island is definitely it.
Based in the not-to-distant future. The movie stars Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson as two people being held in an underground bunker that supposedly houses the …
The Taking of Pelham 123 movie
SPOILER ALERT! Do not read this review if you haven’t viewed the film and plan on seeing it anytime soon.
Saw this film last week and I thought it was ok. It’s pretty much like all the other hostage taker - negotiator type films before it. Here, John …
Noises Off movie
Noises Off
This is what I consider to be one of the best and one of my favorite comedies of all time. A Broadway play gone wrong. If you were sitting in a front row seat, you couldn’t help but to just die laughing. When it comes to stage plays …
Sleepwalkers movie
This movie was apparently based on a novel that Stephen King wrote but never got published. Seeing this movie, I can see why King decided not to publish the book because this movie is bad, very bad.
The “sleepwalkers” are cat-like vampire creatures that suck the life force out …
Happy Feet
Well here is a movie that will fill your hearts with a so much joy that you will feel like tap dancing all the way home :). This movie certainly is one of the cutest movies of its times.
This is a story of a penguin (voice given by Elijah …
Alvin & the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein
Well, I wasn’t sure if my daughter would like an Alvin & the Chipmunks cartoon; let along one that would have a scary monster like Frankenstein’s Monster. But, she obviously is a huge fan of the movie Alvin & the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein because she’s watched the DVD probably …

Hot Fuzz (2007 Film)
If you have enjoyed the guys from “Shawn of the Dead” then you will also enjoy this new film starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in the 2007 film “Hot Fuzz”. This film was hilarious and very entertaining to watch, with the British humor and some explicit death scenes, …
The movie Shark Boy and Lava Girl
I think that just about everyone remembers Sky Kids and Sky Kids 2. It seemed to be really popular for awhile and then just died out. It as not long after Spy Kids 2 came out that the previews for Shark Boy and Lava Girl came out.
Let me …
Abandoned The Movie
This was one of the last movies of Brittany Murphy who played Mary Walsh as the abandoned girl friend who tried to search for her boyfriend Dean Cain who happens to be playing games on her as she struggle to fight with people who wanted to take advantage of …
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
While the sequel to the Raiders of the Lost Ark was obviously made because of the success of the first film, the Temple of Doom is my least favorite of the Indiana Jones Trilogy.
The first movie was full of action and suspense. There was a bit of humor, but …
Two Came Back (1997 Film)
The 1997 Lifetime TV Movie, “Two Came Back” was a large disappointment. Starring a young Melissa Joan Hart and Jonathan Brandis, this film was a serious flop and didn’t do much to capture the audience’s attention at all. While Melissa Joan Hart has been a actress that I have …
