Bells Are Ringing movie
I only saw Bells Are Ringing for the first time in this decade. I’d always heard about it when people talked about the great Judy Holliday since this was her most identifiable film legacy. Finally, I had a chance to see it and judge for myself whether …

Paul Mooney: Analyzing White America (NR, 2002)
I had seen Paul Mooney’s other comedy DVD and was quite pleased. Ordinarily, I like Mooney’s brand of sarcastic humor, and his blatant and frank opinions about the state of society. However, this DVD, which delves deeply into issues concerning white people (and their differences from other …

Vigilante Force movie
Vigilante Force is a movie from 1976 that featured Jan-Michael Vincent and Kris Kristofferson. It opens with sex and violence, two huge turn offs for me. I’ve seen it in passing a couple of times, when I was more into Kristofferson in his post-A Star is Born …

The yaadein (remembrance) of the film Yaadein in perhaps no longer in any of our mind apart from its lovely songs and charming promotional advertisements (Lol). This movie released in 2001 and was directed by Subhash Ghai. I remember how lovely the promotional advertisement of the film was and …
Shutter Island Movie (2010)
Who would have thought that Leonardo DiCaprio would be one of the greatest actors that would star in a lot of great blockbuster movies? One of these movies would be Shutter Island (2010). This was one of the best movies that I have seen DiCaprio in next to Inception. …
Puncture (movie)
“Puncture” was a movie that I just didn’t care to see after I had read a lot of bad reviews on it. Even the trailer did little to stimulate my interest in it, even though later I came to realise that it had a very interesting plot. How I …

And to think, I wasn’t even sure I wanted to see this movie! WOW! o.k., this is an absolute must see movie! It blew me away! Mr. Brooks is staring Kevin Costner, Demi Moore, Dane Cook, and William Hurt. Not only is the acting phenomenal, but the storyline is …
Click movie
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It is about a man who has the power to do whatever he wants with time - such as freezing it, fastforwarding and so on. Again, Adam Sandler does a fantastic AND a funny job. It’s …

Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …
Horror of Spider Island Movie
I ended up watching an old movie last night called Horror of Spider Island. From what I can tell, this was a foreign movie (likely German) that was dubbed and was supposed to be a scary movie.
Well, I have to tell you, this black and white film was one …
Frankie and Alice (2014 Film)
I remember hearing about the film Frankie and Alice back when it was first released in 2010, but never taken the time to watch it until the recent release in 2014.
As a fan of Halle Berry, I was eager to see this film. She is a fantastic actress, that brings …

The North Avenue Irregulars movie
This 1979 Disney movie, The North Avenue Irregulars, is a real hoot. I didn’t see it initially, but came to it years later when I saw it on cable. I was hooked. Now I watch this movie whenever I can find it on TV, which isn’t …
Requiem For A Dream movie
Requiem For A Dream is another weird film you watch late at night and then try to figure out what really happened later on. I really like this movie because it is so sorted and twisted. You just can’t l really understand what would drive people to be so …

Grown Ups (movie)
When I saw the trailer for “Grown Ups” somewhere, I was neither here nor there when it came to excitement. A part of me thought that there was a strong possibility it might turn out to be another star studded failure, and another part of me wasn’t interested in …
In The Cut (2003) Movie
I am afraid that I could not help comparing this movie all the way through to Nine and a Half Weeks, the 1987 erotic movie starring Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. Now that is an erotic movie and I (and my friends at the time too!) can totally …
Happy Feet (2006)
When I first watched the previews for Happy Feet, I was apalled and vowed never to watch the movie. Aside from a recent lack of creativity as far as CG movies are concerned, the concept of the movie seemed inexplicably bland. Indeed, the type of idea that someone comes …

The gang are back together again for the second time around and the giving is just as good as before, this installation into the Home Alone franchise can best be described as being just as funny and entertaining as the first one without taking anything away from the original …
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 …
Blood Monkey (2006)
This is a terrific horror movie that will set your nerves on end. It is filled with loads of suspense, terror and carnage. The acting is very good and the plot moves along at a nice speed, too. If you love watching movies about killer animals, you’ll really enjoy …
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives movie
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives is another one of those movies made when Raymond Burr wasn’t able to show up as the Mason character. Instead of just making it a non-Mason flick as I would have preferred, they turned the scripts into mysteries …
Rock of Love 2
Ah, Bret Michaels of Poison is looking for love again. Much like several other VH1 reality show stars.
However, this is one of the few that I actually like and truely believe. Bret Michaels, with his bandanas, muscle shirts and motorcycles, does seem a bit more real …
Hoosier Schoolboy movie
The beginning of Hoosier Schoolboy introduces the audience to a town divided by some kind of milk strike. The farmers are being accused of high pricing, so milk is being brought in from elsewhere. I have to admit, in my entire life, I have never heard of …
