White Christmas DVD
“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas!”
Words we’ve all no doubt sung many times. This Bing Crosby-Danny Kaye-Rosemary Clooney holiday classic is one I’ve watched more times than I can count. It definitely doesn’t need to be December for me to watch it.
I’ve owned the VHS for years, …
Disaster Zone: Volcano in New York (2006) Movie
This is your average film and it doesn’t reach anywhere near the “Volcano” that took place in Los Angeles. There is only one truly scary moment near the beginning of the picture and after that it’s typical drama with no thrills, although there are some dangerous moments near the …

Thr Princess Diaries 2 movie

Into the Blue,movie
Into the Blue
Sony Pictures
Stars: Jessica Alba and Paul Walker
They need to sink this movie. If you are a guy then the constant butt shots of Jessica Alba are plenteous. This movie had a stupid plot, gave in to the stereotypes about lawyers (greedy sharks), and pretty much had me …

Love You to the Stars and Back (2017 Filipino Romantic Comedy Film)

Constant Gardener movie
If you went by the description on the back of the movie, the Constant Gardener is the best thriller to ever come to DVD. But, had there been anything better on television, I would have turned the movie off after the first 30 minutes.
Set in Africa, Justin Quayle, a …
Dead Snow Movie
I’m not sure what exactly attracted me to the movie Dead Snow enough to want to load it on my Netflix player. Maybe it was because I was in the mood for a zombie movie and thought the idea of mixing some history with it (by using former Nazi …

Django Unchained movie
Love him or loathe him, Quentin Tarantino remains a Hollywood institution. One of only a handful of directors who can command a bigger box office clout than most stars. Not that QT is adverse to casting big named talent in his movies. On the contrary, Brad Pitt and more …
Oasis of the Zombies (1981)
Starring: Manuel Gelin, France Lomay, Jeff Montgomery, Myriam Landson, Eric Viellard, Caroline Audret, and Henri Lambert.

Why what do we have here? Another Italian zombie horror crap-fest directed by yet another George Romero wannabe named Jesus Franco. I’m not sure which one is more boring, this or …
In Her Shoes
In Her Shoes star Cameron Diaz as well as Toni Collette. They play sisters in this movie and the Director of this movie had certainly written a very feel-good story about what sibling rivalry perhaps is and that chain simply cannot be broken.
Cameron plays the character Maggie and she …

Lion (2016 Drama Film)
Some movies are really made to catch awards attention. They often fail because the process becomes terribly inorganic, instead of telling a good story, they somehow focus in smaller details in the film - and while on paper it sounds good, the end material is always somewhat disappointing. Take for …

The Hangover

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
When I first saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom back in 1984, I was disappointed. It had none of the exciting elements that made Raiders so successful. The biggest missing elements are the supporting cast. Brody was clearly a mentor to Dr. Jones. And Marion, the love …

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.
