Disturbing Behavior
I did not get to watch the movie “Disturbing Behavior” when it just came out or even a little after it just came out since I never saw or heard of it. However, recently I heard about it and decided to watch it especially since I realised that Katie …
Circus of Fear movie
The movie “Circus of Fear” is one of the actor Christopher Lee’s older movies. At first I got the impression from the title that it was going to be a horror film, but, instead it turned out to be more of a mystery/suspense film. Personally, even though the …

The Reeds movie 2009
The Reeds is one of this year’s AfterDark Horrorfest movies, of which I try to watch as many as possible since they tend to be of a little better quality than most lower budget horror genre films.
This film was set in London, with a group of friends taking …
Jaws
Jaws is still one of the greatest action and greatest thriller movies off all time. I had not seen this movie in a LONG time and was curious to see if it still held up as a great movie. Well, it does. Sure, Jaws himself looks …
Killing Midnight-Joe Dorsey &Ryan Alosio
I hated this movie. The acting was horribly boring and the plot line had so much potential. A suspense novelist with writer\’s block has a neighbor that is murdered. He becomes a suspect very quickly and does not realize that the murderer is right under his nose. I am …
The Transporter
“The Transporter” movie was released when I was still in high school. I believe I was about fourteen years old at the time, and had to listen to most of my friends talking about it as many of them thought the movie was exciting and adrenaline filled. I found …
Mongolian Death Worm Movie
I took off yesterday afternoon and, since I discovered there isn’t anything good on TV Friday afternoons, I ended up watching a movie I had DVR’d a couple weeks ago; Mongolian Death Worm.
The movie, which in my opinion is pretty much a rip off of the film Tremors, was …
The movie Why Did I Get Married
I like Tyler Perry’s plays and his movies. This one was no different. THis movie is about what can happen to a relationship when it is not built on the right things. IT shows what can happen when couples start to take each other for granite and start to …
Under The Tuscan Sun-Diane Lane
I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it at a friend’s house, and liked it enough that I bought the DVD rather than just borrowing it from my friend. I especially liked the imagery of some of the main character’s lines, as well as the idea of just up …
Disney’s The Fox and the Hound (1981)
Just to prove that I really am over 50, I own Disney’s “The Fox and the Hound” on a VHS tape! I play it at least once a week because it’s so cute, but not more often than that because I don’t want to wear out the tape.
The …
X-Men 3: The Last Stand [movie]
I went to this movie with high hopes that, even though the director of the first two films had left for “Superman Returns”, it would still be just as good as the first two. I was sorely dissapointed in the movie’s treatment of it’s characters, overall story, and …

Movie: Bad Dreams
Bad Dreams is one of my favorite, unabashedly guilty pleasures from the late eighties. Starring Jennifer Rubin, Dean Cameron and the chick who does the voice for Bart Simpson this movie is eighties schlock horror at its best. I remember seeing this movie late one night on …

Christine
I’ve never taken the time to read the Stephen King book Christine but finally got around to watching the movie last night. Overall, it wasn’t too bad.
The film, which is about a living car and a teenaged boy’s obsession over it, is a bit drawn out and takes a …
Avatar, epic science fiction action film
James Cameron is one of the few directors that know how to make a movie that explains everything. The man’s films will never have you questioning what happened or what so and so are doing at a certain point. James Cameron is one of the best directors out there …
Billy Madison (1995)
Billy Madison is one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. It is incredibly funny to watch, and it has you laughing the entire time. The movie was made for people who laugh at corny jokes. If you are not one of those people, you will not like the movie.
Billy …

I have enjoyed both the previous Bourne movies, but I HAVE to say that the last one The Bourne Ultimatum was by far my favourite! I am usually not that much into watching sequels - but the Bourne Sequels just got better and better as they went along! …
Jarhead
Jarhead is rated ‘R’ by the motion picture association of america with good reason.
Jarhead follows a young recruit named Swoff, played by Jake Gyllenhall. The movie first takes you through Swoffs time at bootcamp which is both a little too real and disturbing. Swoff is chosen to become a …
Movie Wanted
Wanted is an excellent action film with a compelling enough story. The main motivation to watch this film is for the action scenes and the gun battles. Even though some scenes are not very realistic (It may be possible to bend or curve a bullet, but some scenes are …
Rush Hour 2 (2001)
Rush Hour is back with a bang as Lee and Carter head out to China on vacation. Although they are supposed to be relaxing, Lee, played by Jackie Chan, is taking on assignments from his boss. This movie was not as good as the first, but still holds a …
The Day the Earth Stood Still
OK, when I watch a science fiction movie, I expect space aliens to be aggressive and to desire taking over our planet. I don’t want them to come here to be our friends (unless of course that happens in real life).
That’s why the movie The Day the Earth Stood …
Enchanted
“Enchanted” is a fantastic musical film for all those who believe in dreams and fairytales. In a nutshell, this film is a modern day fairytale partly filmed and partly animated. I have noticed that the same concept of filming was used also in the recent “Alving and the Chipmunks” …
Smallville Show
Who doesn’t love Smallville? I never was really much into it at first but started collecting it on DVD on a whim. I let the DVD’s sit on my shelf for awhile; my fiance went nuts when he saw them and bout the rest of the series for me. …
The movie Shrek 2
I liked Shrek the original. I really liked how different it was as far as a animated film. I thought that Donkey was hilarious and I really loved Fiona. She was such a strong female character. So when I saw that there was going to be a sequel I …

B-Movie Classic: The Evil Dead
Way before the Spider-Man movies ever existed, director Sam Raimi made a film called The Evil Dead. This film, in no way, is a blockbuster hit. Evil Dead is a classic bad movie, which was meant to scare, yet at the same time, humor.
The movie stars a young man …
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 …

Movie The Weatherman
We watched a movie the other night with Nicholas Gage in it. Although I like Nicholas Cage as an actor this was not one of his better movies.

The Pacifier
I recently watched The Pacifier starring Vin Diesel as Shane Wolf a Navy Seal whose latest mission is to protect 5 children from assassins trying to get a secret program from their home. Lauren Gram plays a principal and Brad Garret a laughable vice principal at …
Movie Georgia Rule
“Georgia Rule” is the film where we get to see the actress, Lindsey Lohan interpret the role of a bad girl with the name of Rachel Wilcox. With the reputation that Lohan has gained lately I don’t think she had a particular difficulty to fit in her role.
“Georgia Rule” deals …
K-9 (1989)
Similar to that of the movie Turner and Hooch, pairs the human element and the animal element into a movie to try to get a favorable response by the animal lover in most people. I have noticed that everything has its time in the spotlight and every genre is …

I’ve seen this movie so many times that I can recite some of the dialogues already. The Cutting Edge is actually one of my most favorite romantic movies of all time. I never get tired of watching
it. It’s a story about a young and talented hockey player, Doug, (D.B. …
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 …
Limitless Movie
I had not heard anything about Limitless when I walked into the theater and sat down to watch it. My initial reaction at hearing that Bradley Cooper was playing the main character was to wonder if he could pull that off; sure he has been successful as a side …
