If it’s from Mel Brooks, it’s great comedy.
Spaceballs makes parody of Star Wars, having the same great characters, but with a comedic insight. Lord Dark Helmet (very huge helmet) is sent to steal air from planet Druidia. Lone Starr with the help of his trusty sidekick Barfolemew ‘Barf’ are …

I love it so much because it is not a simple love story like …
Because I said So
Overall it’s a alright movie. It wasn’t that funny but it did have some funny parts in it. I did laugh a couple times but nothing was hilarious. It also dragged out somewhat. It was really long. It was kind of boring and I just wanted the movie to …
Cloak & Dagger
This film came out shortly after Henry Thomas came to worldwide attention in E.T. Well-cast in this role, this was the type of role best suited for Henry Thomas. He comes across as a kid with a great imagination and this movie blends both creatively.
It is the story of …
The New Adventures of Heidi movie
It’s hard for me to find a Heidi tale that I don’t like. Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of them and most of them have their own unique quality that makes it work. That’s the case with The New Adventures of Heidi from 1978. …
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I think Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a very cool and creative movie. I also think it’s pretty scary to see how drugs can affect you. I mean I’ve never done hard drugs before and by the looks of what happened in this movie, I never will do …
Daisies movie
Daisies is a Czech film about two girls, best friend, and their everyday life. With the most lively images, this story is told in a most unconventional and experimental way. It’s not the common narrative you see in a Hollywood movie. No, Daisies is more fixed on the moods …
Take Shelter (2011 movie)
“Take Shelter” is a well crafted, interesting film that deals with quite a few hard-pressing issues (mental illness, nature gone wild, apocalyptic fears, financial strife). I wish I liked it more, but it left me somewhat disappointed - I found many separate things to like about it, but they …
Carter’s Army movie
In 1970, Carter’s Army was released, and somewhere along the line it’s been re-released under the name Black Brigade. Now what is interesting to me is that before writing my review, I was checking out the credits and ran across the first few lines of comments someone made …

Dora: Save the Day movie

All four episodes on the DVD were good, especially the episode that had Dora, Boots and Swiper trying to …
Death at the Funeral Movie
I didn’t know funeral’s can be funny. It speaks of lamentation and grievance of a loss of a loved one but in Death at the Funeral, it was the otherwise. It is funny but not rude and stupid. It is pure raw fun. The movie does starts …

Avatar movie
Alright, I’ll admit it: I’m one of the few people out there that actually didn’t go to the movie theater to see this movie. I rarely go to the theater period, mainly because I feel that it’s just so outrageously expensive. I do kind of regret not going to …

Robin Hood movie
If a movie were intended to totally turn someone off of the old time legend of Robin Hood, Maid Marion, and the Merry Men, this 2010 version of Robin Hood would do it. The opening was depressing and vulgar, and it was anything from the bright and usually …

Notes on a Scandal (2006)
This was an excellent drama starring Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett, in roles that are quite different than anything else I have seen either of them in.

The Bag Man (2014)
