Apollo 13
Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Apollo 13 and I have to say, it is still as good as the first time I saw it.

Movie: After the Wedding (2006)
I liked the movie “After the Wedding.” The movie is a 2006 Danish movie filmed in both India and Denmark. The 120 minute movie is in color and is in Danish, Swedish, Hindi, and English. Fortunately for me the DVD came with English subtitles. I don’t mind subtitles and …
George Lopez: America’s Mexican
I love the George Lopez shows, that air on nick. But the stand up I found kind of racy and not to funny. Some parts was more funny I enjoyed the childhood parts but overall I am glad he is proud of his race, but it got to the …
Miss Galaxy 5000
If there is one thing that makes me really enjoy Tripping the Rift, it is the Dark Clowns. They are the best thing this series has going for it, and episodes which center around them are generally much better than the others. This one is no exception, …
Alexander The Great movie
After a long while, I’m back here, just to write a short review about the film “Alexander” from Oliver Stone. The film is about Alexander the Great.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010): movie

Fatal Secrets (movie)
Some time earlier on this year, I watched a movie named “Fatal Secrets” on the cable television channel called TMC. I was a bit hesitant to watch it at first, since it looked like just another awful low budget movie to me that would be both predictable and full …

Movie Thunderball
Thunderball with Sean Connery and Claudine Auger.
This is one of the earlier James Bond sequels and therefore features the super handsome Sean Connery in the lead. It does lack some of the refined touched that we came to enjoy in the newer sequels such as …

Movie The Hours
Although I like English literature and I usually like the literature from the beginning of the century, I didn’t like this movie a lot. It is actually a drama about 3 women who all lived in different decades of 1900’s, actually he last one lived in 2002 if I …
Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
One of the many vampire vs. werewolf movies that have graced the silver screen, New Moon rates among one of the better attempts. It had a good blend of romance, action, and suspense, while not overplaying the supernatural card. The mixture was good, but and it added …
National Lampoon’s Stoned Age Unrated, comedy film
A movie so bad they decided to call it something completely different when it was released on video. Stoned Age is the comedy to bear the National Lampoon name. At one time this name met something but now you can see why the National Lampoon series is dreaded by …

Interview with a Vampire
Interview with a Vampire was a great vampire movie! I thought it was very creative how the vampire tells the reporter the whole story while we see what he is telling. Also I think that Brad Pitt and Christian Slater did a great job of acting as vampires. The movie …
Chappie Movie (2015)
Chappie is an excellent follow-up to District 9 and Elysium and is one of the better transhuminism films that are out today. It delivers complex ideas about molding the human mind and also attempts to imagine the possibilities of artificial intelligence.
First of all, this movie will tug at your …
Freddy vs. Jason (2003) movie

Daddy Day Camp movie
I watched Daddy Day Camp with my sister a few days ago. Neither of us were very interested in it. I usually like kid’s movies, but I didn’t care for this one. My sister never did finish watching all of the movie, she just kept rewinding and fast forwarding …

The Haunted Mansion (2003)

The Illusionist (PG-13, 2006) movie
At first I thought that this movie was going to be like a rip-off of “The Prestige” which starred Christian Bale. But I am quite pleased to report that this movie has a similar storyline, but veers in an entirely different direction. Instead of concentrating fully on …
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 …

Enter The Dragon Classic Marshial Arts Movie Starring Bruce Lee
As time goes by and the inevitable process of growing up takes its course, certain things that I used to love back when I was smaller seem quite stupid now, especially some of the things I enjoyed like movies and television shows. The acting seems really bad, along with …

Delta Farce
This movie wasn’t all that good. There were a couple of funny parts in the movie but nothing was really funny. Nothing in the film made me laugh. Overall it was alright but I didn’t really like it. I didn’t care for it. I wouldn’t recommend it to hardly …

“Battle of the Bulbs” (2010 Film)
While I am a fan of holiday films, I am sorry to say that the 2010 Hallmark channel film, “Battle of the Bulbs” was not one that I would wish to watch again. The film lacked a decent plot I believe, and didn’t really appeal to me and get …

Show Boat musical
It took me a long time to actually get through Show Boat in one sitting, and while I agree it’s a classic motion picture, for some reason I don’t watch it that often. It’s another musical that features Howard Keel, and for some reason, his pictures are ones …
Dark City movie (1998)
(Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly)
This is probably one of the most visually stunning, thought-provoking pieces of entertainment I’ve seen in over 20 years. It was directed by Alex Proyas, who also directed —˜The Crow” a few years prior. His ability to express substance through his style …
Movie Bangkok Dangerous
The primary flaw with this movie, and it’s a pretty big one, is that it’s just plain boring. I don’t know how an action movie about an international hit man manages to make me fall asleep, but this one did. Twice. Nicolas Cage is at his blandest in this …

Devil (2010 Film)
I remember hearing about the film Devil from a friend who refused to take the elevator one day. I hadn’t heard of it and was amused that a single film could scare a person into not wanting to ride an elevator, but instead take the stairs. As a person who …
