Bulletproof Monk (2003)
I don’t really get the whole basis of this movie. It goes too wide and gets way confusing the longer the movie progresses. Eve though it has a pretty straight forward and easy plot to follow, the direction of the whole movie has not been put together in a …
Bring It On (2000)
The movie is the story about cheerleaders, giving you a look at their lives and the sport they are involved in, plain and simple, nothing complicated, nothing magnificent, nothing glorified, just plain old cheerleaders doing what they do best. It is a comedy at that, with a nice little …
Revolver
“Revolver” is another dramatic movie where the director, Guy Ritchie team up again with the actor, Jason Statham. This is the third movie project they were involved together, although one must always mention that it wasn’t the most successful one. “Revolver” received heavy criticism from the press and it …
Rio Bravo movie
Rio Bravo is a wonderful western. It was so good that they repeated it, changing character names and just a few pieces of plot, as El Dorado. Make no mistake about it, though, Rio Bravo is the original and the best. It was magnificent. John …

film “Ginger Snaps Back” (2004)
I really enjoyed the film Ginger Snap and I though this movie would be similar but it was not. Basically the makers of the first movie did not expect it to be a cult favorite. It was not made with a lot of money but did very …

Up In The Air (Movie)
One of the most anticipated DVD releases, at least in my mind, was Up In The Air, the George Clooney movie which was nominated for several Academy Awards at the recent Oscar ceremonies. I like George Clooney movies, although I hesitate to say that I love all of his …

The Dead Zone
The Dead Zone was a very spooky and great movie. I thought this film had is all and was a movie that really messed with your mind. Christopher Walken did a great job of acting in this movie! Even though the movie is quite old it is a great film …
Tinker Bell
Tinker Bell is such a lovable movie that I really love to watch no matter how my friends label me as kiddish and all that. The voice of Tinker Bell was done by Mae Whitman and this storyline is quite charming, actually.
Tinker’s friends’ voice-overs are also awesome …
Queen Latifah
My earliest memories of Queen Latifah were in the early nineties when she was still a rapper. I can’t remember how I even knew her either since I did not know the lyrics of tune to any of her songs. However, I did know her face, and just recently …
Reign of Fire
Around the same time the first Lord of the Rings film, “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” was released in theatres, the movie “Reign of Fire” was also released. I can remember that as soon as I saw “Reign of Fire” being advertised to be released …
When Trumpets Fade movie
A film set during World War II, focused on a band of soldiers and their struggle for survival. It begins very good with a strong sense of realism and despair, but then it is so evident that this film was intended for television, and the low budget is so …
Gods and Monsters movie
Very engaging film about the famous horror movie director, James Whale, who made Frankenstein for instance back in the 1930s. In this film he is old, and wonderfully played by Ian McKellen. James Whale, who was openly homosexual, falls in love with his many years younger gardener, who at …

This movie had everything a person needs to enjoy a film and this was a …
Movie: Arsenic and Old Lace
Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my all time favorite movies. It is an old movie that features Cary Grant, who in my opinion is the best actor ever. He truly shines in this movie. In the movie, Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) takes his new bride back to …

Headless Horseman movie

Movie Knowing
I was rather excited about seeing this movie. I like Nicolas Cage and I like Science Fiction so I had great expectations but got pretty disappointed. I mean, the movie is not that bad but it is less than I was expecting.

Beethoven - The Pooch Pack (DVD 2006)
All five movies it says on the box, well as this box set was released in 2006, this is no longer quite true because to my knowledge there is at least one more Beethoven movie to date.
Having said that Beethoven movies are really good fun and easy viewing for …
Neve Been Kissed
I like Drew Barrymore, she has such a vitality that it just bursts off the screen. I saw a movie on TV the other night that she starred in. It was called Never Been Kissed.
This was a sweet movie about a 25 year old journalist who decided …
Heartbeat movie
From 1946, Heartbeat starred Ginger Rogers as Arlette Lafron, Jean-Pierre Aumont as Pierre de Roche, Adolphe Menjou as the Ambassador, and Basil Rathbone as Professor Aristide. Having Rathbone in this role is such a hoot. That’s because the good professor teaches students how to pick pockets and …
13 Going on 30
13 Going on 30 is a delightful comedy that has been done many times before, but still succeeds in getting plenty of laughs.
The movie is about a young girl, Jenna (Jennifer Garner) who goes to bed as an uncool thirteen-year-old and wakes up the next morning in an unfamiliar …
Movie: Escanaba in Da Moonlight
I ended up watching a movie last night that my brother once recommended to me; Escanaba in Da Moonlight. He thought it was the funniest movie ever made. I hate to say it, but I just don’t see what he liked about it.
OK, he’s a deer hunter and maybe …
The Quick and The Dead
The Quick and the Dead stars Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, and Gary Sinise.

MosquitoMan (2004)
This movie was much better than I expected it to be. Don’t let the corny name or the image on the DVD case’s cover stop you from watching this fun horror film. And if you’re thinking it’s a bit similar to “The Fly”, you’re right. It’s a more modern …

The Hangover

Rat Race movie
What I have found with comedies is you either have ones that give you a few laughs or movies that make you laugh non-stop from start to finish. The movie Rat Race is the latter of the two and one I would recommend to anyone.
