The Odd Couple II
Sequels are often just the worst things under the sun, often taking the original characters to ruin. There are few that really are true to the story, that follow it through and make it all believable. Sometimes you still enjoy the original better, but even so, you …
The Lion King
I think this is probably one of the most classic movies that Disney ever put out. It’s a very good movie and a very good story. My sister used to love to watch this movie. She still watches it just not as much anymore. Almost everyone has seen this …
The New Guy movie
I got bored yesterday afternoon (both kids were taking naps) so I ended up watching the movie “The New Guy” again. I think I have seen that thing about a dozen times now and have to say it is still one of the funniest movies ever.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012 Coming-of-Age Drama Film)
Some films do really affect me far better in my second watch than my first. Back then, 4 years ago, when I first saw this movie, it was nothing but a coming-of-age drama with a twisted end, one that I was so eager to watch because my ultimate crush, Emma …
Movie Them (2007)
Them (2007)is a French horror movie that I still remember up till now. I rented this DVD movie and watched it during one of my off days and got really scared after watching. The plot goes this way. Clementine is a school teacher and she discovered one …
Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost
Last night, I once again sat down with my daughter to watch a movie with her. And, of course, I let her pick the film. She chose Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. And, for the most part, I liked her decision.
This is a newer Scooby Doo film, as …
High Crimes movie
As a person who loves both courtroom dramas and military movies, High Crimes is the perfect film for me because it gives me a good combination of both.
Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd play attorneys who are attempting to free Judd’s husband from prison after the military calls him a …

Three cheers for The Children’s Television Workshop! They have released a boxed set of complete, unedited episodes selected from the 5 year run of this brilliant children’s television series.

50 First Dates
I think this is one of the sweetest romantic comedies out there. I love Adam Sandler in this movie and have thought it was a classic movie since it came out. I tend to watch it every time I find it on the TV. I have it either on …
50 First Dates movie
I must admit, at first I thought that this movie, 50 First Dates is just another love story with a touch of comedy and humor. But I was wrong. Maybe others are looking at this movie that way, but for me, it is also a story of a great …
Half Caste (movie)
This is without doubt one of the dullest and boring movies I have ever seen. Watching this film unfold on your TV will put you to sleep. Worst, it’s supposed to be a horror movie! Horror movies as you very well know should be filled with suspense, scary moments …
Shrek 2 movie
I’ve just finished watching Shrek 2 for the first time - yes, I know, took me a while to get to it. Especially since I enjoyed Shrek 1 and looked forward to see the sequel.
Overall, I was not disappointed. The movie has the same refreshing humor with non-traditional twists …
The Clinic 2010 movie
As far as a horror movie goes this is every women’s nightmare. I didn’t find this film either jumpy neither scary but i found it utterly disturbing. The thought that some of those things can happen in real life, that places like this existed was disturbing enough without having …
Movie: Legend of the Dead
We had a bit of a late dinner last night and, since we knew we weren’t going to have time to go for a walk after eating, we ended up finding a movie to watch instead. The movie we ended up watching was one from the SyFy channel; Legend …
The New World Movie
Last night I was able to walk down to the local movie theatre and view “The New World.” This was a film I was pretty excited about to see because it was rarely released to local theatres, plus Christian Bale was in it.
Well, I don’t drink alcohol, but …
Batman Begins Movie
When I was three, I had a Batman fixation. I think that fixation has returned in full force after seeing Batman Begins. Every actor puts in a good effort, although the face behind Scarecrow is by far the most convincing and even frightening. Featuring one of …
Flawless movie
When I ordered the movie Flawless from Netflix, I expected it to be a great film about a jewel robbery in the 1960s. As it turns out, I couldn’t even get half way through it.
It’s possible the movie ended up being exciting at some point. It had a couple …
Bridge To Terabithia movie
This movie reminds me to The Lord Of The Rings movie environment. Interesting special effect and pleased in a real creative story. Merges story in illusive world with reality life. This movie draws fantasy world by a child names Jesse. Illusion nature that is of course we usually experienced …
Raising Arizona movie
Joel and Ethan Coen had their breakthrough back in the 1980s with the most visually original and violent thriller Blood Simple. After that they have amazed the world audience with marvellous films like Miller’s Crossing, Barton Fink and The Hudsucker Proxy. In my opinion they have lost some of …

Time of the Gypsies movie
This is the incredibly heartbreaking film by Emir Kusturica that won the golden palm in Cannes. Kusturica portraits a gypsy family that is slightly bizarre in the way they act, at least from my own point of view. However, the eldest son of the family falls in love with …
Star Wars: A New Hope (1977 Film)
Even if we have never before seen Star Wars, we are still familiar with the basic plot of the film and how much of an impact they have had on generations. Until recently, I had only seen one Star Wars movies, and it was the newer ones that came …

Save the Green Planet, South Korean film
Movies branching off into numerous genres tend to fail in the dumpster. If the director can manage to pull things off right then you have a pretty good movie on your hands. Save the Green Planet combines so many different kinds of movie genres that you will loose track …
Drowning Mona
Drowning Mona with Neve Campbell, Casey Affleck, Bette Midler, Danny DeVito, Will Ferrell, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
This movie is a perfect example of dry humor. Danny DeVito delivers his cynical lines in his trademark manner. Curtis is her usual sexy self as the waitress had …
Lower City (R, 2005) movie
First and foremost I must say that you should enjoy foreign films (at least to a certain extent) before viewing this movie. Secondly, I should say that if you have seen “City of God” then you will probably enjoy this movie. And third, I must say that …
Brigadoon MGM musical
Brigadoon is an MGM musical from 1954 that still delights to this day. It’s a quieter fare than most, but it has a genuine quality to it that lulls the viewer in. This movie is relevant to today, too, because we’re still in such a rat race, …
Elvira Mistress of the Dark
You have to be at least my age to be able to remember Elvira hosting B-rated horror movies on television back in the 80s. However, kids can gain an understanding of her character by renting her classic movie, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb movie. …
Blades of Glory
When we rented Blades of Glory, I didn�t know what to expect from it. We�ve watched Will Ferrell movies in the past and, while some are absolutely hilarious, there are just as many that were very disappointing to us.
The good news for us was, while I wouldn�t put Blades …
Kissing a fool
I actually chose to watch this movie because the actor David Schwimmer was starring in it. I though I was going to watch just an average movie, however I had a very pleasant surprise since this is a very good movie.
It seems that this movie was one of the …

What Would Jesus Buy
The most pervasive sin in our society isn’t lust, far from it in fact which is why it’s so easy for us to see, but far more dangerous to our society are greed and gluttony, and driving to that point in a humorous and profound way is What Would …

Movie Friday the 13th
I was a bit skeptical when Friday the 13th the 09 version was coming out. People didn’t hear much about it. And the cast was practically unheard of, which was a worry for all the fans of the series.
This movie is not as bad as I thought it was …
Epic Theatres of St. Augustine
I have decided this summer I will travel around Florida. This weekend’s trip was to St. Augustine, FL. It may come as no surprise to you then that even while away from my home town of Gainesville, FL I still had to go see Transformers 2: Revenge of the …
Casino Royale Movie
I went to see Casino Royale on New Year’s Day. I think it is the first Bond film I’ve seen at the movies since 1966. I was a little disappointed. I think this is for two different reasons.
My favorite James Bond was played by Sean Connery. He was witty, …
Cowboy Bebop episode 2
In Cowboy Bebop, episode 2, cool dog’s strut is a marvelous excuse of a waste of time. Keeping up with Cowboy Bebop’s unparalleled style, the entire episode seems to be an excuse to write in Rin. Who is our new lovable bioengineered welsh carrier, that seems to hog …
