The Haunted Mansion
This 2003 release was obviously meant to be a “spooky comedy” of sorts, with ghosts and zombies who come alive in their tomb in a most inconvenient time. Perhaps some kids liked it, and perhaps it was okay to watch once for some adults. But to me, it was …
Let’s Go Collegiate movie
Let’s Go Collegiate was a movie released in 1941 that is basically a lot of college age nonsense. I tried, but I couldn’t get all that into the fun of this picture. It was okay, but I just didn’t really take to the story and none of …
The Simpsons Movie
I remember when I saw the trailer for this movie. I just had to see it. I mean the Simpsons…one of the most popular cartoon shows out there and it’s been around so long it was about time they made a movie.
I got to admit the movie started in …

The Princess Bride
To blave, that’s what this story is about. And if you find that inconceivable, try to stomach the kissing scenes and see where that gets you.
Seriously, this fairy tale is so full of enjoyable characters that the movie could have gone on for quite some time and I would …
Pink Panther,2006 movie
I went to see the new “Pink Panther” with Steve Martin yesterday. My opinion is that it’s a worth-to-see-once kind of movie. I had some good laughs, but there were some jokes that annoyed me (below-the-waist humor; thankfully, there wasn’t too much of it).
Steve Martin is a good comedy …

Burn After Reading
Is it me? Or are all the movies for 2008 a flop? Now automatically I assume, you put Brad Pitt and George Clooney together on screen, and there should be magic………….sweet sweet magic…Boy was I in for a treat…….a very bad tasting treat after watching Burn After Reading…..maybe …

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
This is the 4th installment in the Indiana Jones series of films. It has been several years since the last movie was released and the film does account for that lapse in time. I am thankful for that since it would really be hard to pull off since Harrison …

The Pit (movie)
I’ll admit it, the only reason I bought the movie The Pit is the fact it was filmed in my home town of Beaver Dam, WI and I wanted to see how much of the town I recognized. And, to be honest, if it weren’t for the fact I …
Movie Peter Pan
“Peter Pan” is the classic 1950s Disney animated movie about the boy who never grew up and his adventures in Never Land. As a child, I loved this movie. However, I recently watched it with my daughter and so I viewed through the eyes of an adult …
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter
One of the first movies I loaded on my Netflix player when I bought it was the film Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. I didn’t think I would like it but it sounded like it would be different and I figured it would eventually be worth a try.
We ended up …
Fruits Basket Manga
Fruits Baskets is my all time favorite manga, by Natsuki Takaya, about a very optimistic, orphan high school girl named Tohru Honda who’s mother recently died. She lives in the woods while her grandfather is remodeling his house, and finds out she is living on the property of the …
Dolores Claiborne
It’s a shame that this film, based upon the book by Stephen King, doesn’t get as much notice as some of his bigger hits. While the likes of Misery and The Shining are certainly worthy of the praise heaped upon them, and plenty of others are certainly worthy of …
Hancock
Hacock has Will Smith in it and he plays a superhero. When I first rented the movie, I wanted to see it but it wasn’t a movie that I was that excited about seeing. Now I am glad that I watched it. I liked Hancock because it wasn’t all …
Equilibrium (R, 2002) movie
I have been passing over this film in my queue for a couple of years now. I finally decided to give it a chance, and immediately realized what my inner voice had been telling me for quite a while. This movie is crap. Sorry for …
Girlfight movie
The story about a female boxer with a hectic life at home. With a will made of iron, she challenges everyone who comes in her way, and falls in love with a young man of the same age.
I think Girlfight is a very engaging story with good acting overall. …
Odd Girl Out movie
I had often wondered what happened to the actress Alex Vega after the Spy Kids trilogy, as it seemed that she had just disappeared for a while. However, last night when watching the Lifetime television station, I saw her in a movie called “Odd Girl Out”. It was that …
Braveheart
I’ll admit it here only: this movie made me cry. This is not easy for a macho dude like me to admit! Nevertheless, I must say that I was moved by this is story.
Mel Gibson scores a touchdown in this film. It is the story …
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) Movie
This is the third installation of the four-part series of the Twilight Saga, and it is far the most suspenseful and most action-packed yet! I had watched this movie twice in a span of 3 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The book is quite different from the …
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 …
The Nightmare Before Christmas
I was really disappointed watching this movie and I can say it was a waste of time for me. I thought that it was a nice movie since I saw a lot of collectible items for this movie. I thought that it has the same theme as that of …
Signs Movie
Signs starring (Mel Gibson) is an interesting tale of a small mid-american town trying to come to terms with a real alien invasion. After Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) discovers a crop circle in his field stranger tales of extraterrestrials quickly begin to circulate around town. Even stranger when …
Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine is a road movie with a difference. A dysfunctional family from suburbia on their way to child’s talent contest seemed about as attractive to me as watching paint dry ! But I must say I was pleasantly surprised. A nice mix of humour and pathos and …
True Lies
I really liked the movie True Lies, I thought this film was very and it had a good storyline. I really liked the whole secret agent thing, and agents are always pretty exciting. I think the whole storyline about how the agent’s wife was cheating on him is not that …

Bad Santa
I’m not a huge Billy Bob Thornton fan so, when his movie Bad Santa came out, I really avoided watching it. However, it was on one of our movie channels the other day and, since there was nothing better on, I figured I would give it a chance.
It wasn’t …
You can count on me movie
Critically acclaimed drama about a woman who alone has to take care of her son. One day her brother comes to visit and things start to change in the relationship betweem the mother and her son.
I do admit that some of the scenes here are heartwarming and that the …
The Duchess movie
I just finished watching this movie at home and I should say that I like the performance of Keira Knightley who does the led role of Georgina Spencer Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire. I think Keira did a marvellous job because she looks very elegant and beautiful in …
Summer School
In the year 2000 we have “High School Musical” but in the 80’s they used to have “Summer School”. It seems really funny to compare these two movies with each other because they represent two different generations and two different ways of making teen movie.
In “High School Musical” we …
Big Daddy
I thought Big Daddy was a pretty good and funny Adam Sandler movie. I think the whole concept of him raising the kid was funny. The movie was not only funny but very touching! One thing I did not like about this movie though was that there were gay scenes …
When Harry met Sally movie
This cult-rated romantic comedy was the very first of a long series of similar films, all starring Meg Ryan as practically the same character. When Harry met Sally was directed by the talented Rob Reiner (even though he wasted his talent at several occasions in my opinion), and also …
The Ballad of Andy Crocker movie
I remember well The Ballad of Andy Crocker from 1969, and the reason for that was the star, Lee Majors who played Andy Crocker. Crocker gets a medal as a heroic soldier in Vietnam and then heads home, uncertain of what he’ll find.
Early on, Crocker meets Karen (Jill …

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER DVD
We’ve been trying for a month to rent Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer, but, it is always out. So, we finally bought one for our grandsons to watch, as they spent the night. It is truly adorable, with Whoopie Goldberg’s voice being the wicked witch, Stormella, and with the …
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
After the hugely successful, and critically acclaimed Terminator 2; a further sequel was obviously inevitable. However tightly the second movie concluded, however finally that last act seemed; box office gain would always dictate another movie would be made. Unfortunately, Terminator 3 neither provides a worthy successor to its predecessors, …
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
This is Quite possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen. The stereotypes one would expect in a movie like this are there and are (in some places) slightly over done, but they do not take away from the movie overall. Rarely does a hilarious movie succesfully carry a …
101 Dalmations
I am reviewing the Disney movie, 101 Dalmations. I am a huge dog lover and so this movie is perfect for me. I also love the whole London scene, even though I’ve never been there. I would like to go someday. This movie is about Pongo and …

This is a the film version of a classic tv-series from the 1960s. Uma Thurman is a sexy british agent and Ralph Fiennes her partner. Sean Connery is the villain who threatens to destroy the whole world with some kind of weather machine. I haven’t seen the tv-series myself, …
