Gridiron Gang Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
I loved this movie because it showed that you can discipline with a heart. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson portrayed a great role model who cared about others. Despite the fact that these kids had major issues with the law and had been given up on, he decides to take …
The movie Monsters Inc.
I think that like most people as a young child I was afraid of monsters. I remember lying in bad feeling so afraid because I thought that monsters were going to pop out of my closet and eat me.
It was because of those memories that when Monsters Inc …
Lakeview Terrace movie
The movie Lakeview Terrace was an all around great movie. The idea of an African American police officer being against an interracial couple is a very unusual idea, but it is possible which makes the movie very believable. Samuel L. Jackson hit another home run with this edge of …
The Killer Shrews
This is an older black and white horror movie. I’m unsure what year it was made, as I couldn’t find that information on the DVD box. It had the look of the 1950s or the 1960s to it, so it may be from one of those eras. I had …
Tribes movie
From 1970, the movie Tribes is not a favorite. It took me three times to actually get through the movie, though I will say that once my frame of mind was preferred for the type of movie it was going to be, I got through it fairly easily.
Jan …
Film A Good Year
A Good Year is a real feel good film, just like the title suggests. Russell Crow plays the lead and I actually like him in this film. He does a great English accent and plays a hard hearted, workaholic, money hungry city trader to perfection. His character doesn’t seem …

One of the best action films I have ever seen. Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning are the lead cast in this film and a do a superb job to say the least! Denzel plays a lost man trying to find peace, do to a obvious history of violence and …

Movie Willow (1988)
Since my daughter was very young, she and I have enjoyed watching many fantasy movies over the years. One of our favorites has always been Ron Howard’s “Willow.” The talented Val Kilmer is absolutely fantastic as Madmartigan, a great swordsman who has a tendency to only look out for …

30 Days of Night Movie
From the Director of Hard Candy, comes a not so average vampire flick. Produced by Sam Raimi who brought you the Evil Dead series. This movie isn’t life changing, but it absolutely deserves a watch!

Prometheus 2012 Science Fiction Film
I will immediately reveal that I have given this film the rating of seven, and it should instantly make a statement about what I think of this movie. I think that this film is good, but not excellent.
I would like to make some comments about the production quality of …
Die Another Day movie
Don’t ask me why, but for some reason they made another Bond film after the complete failure of The World is Not Enough. Don’t ask me why, but for some reason I used my money to see it. Perhaps because I am such a big fan of the older …

So the “The Greatest Game Ever Played” got a 7/10 in my book. I’ll let you know why. First, the movie is based around an inspired golfer, who is poor, and is discriminated for being such by the country club. His dad doesn’t support his dreams of becoming a …

Ex Drummer (comedy movie)

Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue movie
Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue from 1955 was apparently filmed from a live stage show. In fact, the master of ceremonies, Willie Bryant, calls it the Harlem Variety Review at the very beginning.
Now there is some speculation that Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue should actually be 75 minutes long, but …

War of the Roses movie
“War of the Roses,” some fun for the tears, the other leads to despair, and still others disgusted by the switch. Anyway, the film is a masterwork of satire of people who are divorced who have to gain your are full of ideas to hinder their lives.
Starring Kathleen Turner …
Movie Christina’s House
Christina’s House is the kind of movie that I shouldn’t like, but somehow I do. It’s the movie that I keep telling my friends to watch, even though they’ve seen it and hated it. I have to admit that the movie is pretty cheesy, but I still somehow find …

300 Movie

Slumdog Millionaire
I actually didn’t know what to expect of the movie Slumdog Millionaire. I was worried that it would be a bollywood type production, which I was not really interested in seeing. I was also a bit skeptical on just how good a movie starring actors in their first large …
My Neighbors the Yamadas
A film about the life of an ordinary family in Tokyo, anime style.

Jason Goes to Hell (Unrated Version)
The unrated version of Jason Goes to Hell is marginally better than the rated version, but that isn’t saying a whole lot. The movie still suffers from some plot problems, and some bad acting. After watching either version you will most likely end up feeling sorry for poor Erin …
The Hiding Place Movie
I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.
The story is of Corrie ten Boom, and her …
HOP movie
I’ll be honest. The only reason I went to this movie is to hear one of the songs in the credits by my favourite artist. I went into this movie kind of just wanting it to be the end soon because I hated animated movies or anything like it. …

This is a GREAT movie…nothing short of GREAT. A killer is sent back in time to erase the mother of the leader of a revolutionary group and as the film goes, the killer has a very hard time trying to capture and eradicate this problem. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as …
