Broken Bridges movie
“Broken Bridges” has a good story with great potential in attracting a great audience, however something along the line failed. The acting is awful, the filming and editing is sadly not good enough and the sound of this movie is terrible! In other words, this movie sucks!
Why did I …

Stargate: Atlantis 501 “Search and Rescue”

The Chronicles of Narnia- Lion, Witch, Wardrobe (PG, 2005)
I avoided the Chronicles of Narnia for a long time because I thought it was one of those really trippy kid flicks that would end up being either really boring or so far-fetched that I’d just grow disinterested. It turns out that this movie really is far fetched. …
In the Bedroom, movie
Based on the short story, “Killings,” by Andre Dubus, “In the Bedroom” is a smart film that can resonate with even the most emotionally closed off of people. This is a film that hits us all where it hurts the most: the death of a child. It’s a story …

Forbidden Zone, movie (1982)
We each have our favorite cult classic. But, there is one for me that stands as the best one. Nothing for me can match its style or zaniness, be it Buckaroo Banzai or Toxic Avenger. The blending of 80’s new wave with the vintage styles of …

Just imagine Lassie with super powers, Good Boy with manners and you get Underdog. If you loved watching movies featuring animals, then you probably already know how this movie will end. It was really painful to watch, and I had to endure it for a long time since I …

Rush Hour 3
Very forgettable movie. Does not compare to Rush Hour 1 and 2. The jokes were old and used from Rush Hour one and Two. I thought the main characters Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker were shadows of their former selves. Chris Tucker looked like he gained 80 pounds. Jackie Chan’s …
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Movie

Todd Sweeny
Remember Rick Morranis in Little Shop of Horrors? Well take a twisted theme, subtract the alien plant, and add a pyschodic barbor and you’ve got Tim Burton’s Todd Sweeny. The movie was a bit fruity with it being a complete musical, but the plot is there. Tim Burton must …
