Clockwork Orange, movie
Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrock film, starring Malcom McDowell.
When this came out back in the 1970’s, it caused quite a stir. Some howling conservatives wanted an X-rating, and when it finally did come out, maybe some people didn’t understand it, but knew it was something special. This film has …

Days of Darkness
Watching Days of Darkness totally scared the hell out of me. I find the storyline very scary and in fact, if I were to be one of the characters, I would faint several times already. The cover of this DVD movie is also very scary and don’t let …
Land of the Dead, movie (2005)
When zombies made their return to the forefront of horror film, there were almost as many good ones as bad ones. For every good one like 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead, there were bad ones like the remakes for Dawn of the Dead and Day …
The Witch (2016 Horror Film)
I rarely, rarely watch horror films. In fact I can’t recall the last time I watch a horror film alone. I just don’t see any point at all watching something that just do nothing but make you feel afraid and scared and get away with it.
At 19 I must admit …

George of the Jungle (1997)

Casino Royale Movie
We went to see the new James Bond movie this weekend, “Casino Royale”. We were a party of two adults and found the movie to be good entertainment. Daniel Craig was a great new James Bond and both my husband and I felt he did a great job. He …
1408 (2007)
John Cusack stars alongside Samuel L. Jackson in this tale of a haunted room in a hotel. Stories of the horrors that this room has caused even made headlines in the local newspapers. It would seem that anyone who enters the room and stays longer than a certain period, …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
This movie stars Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams. This movie came out in 2009. I watched this on an airplane and I must say I wasn’t able to enjoy it as much as I wanted to due to constant interruption from passengers and flight crew. However, the movie was …
Death Proof
Death Proof is the first “episode” of the recent grindhouse. Now personally i didn’t like this movie at all, it was very long, it took forever to get to the action, there are litterarily like 50 minutes of talking which lead to no real action. The movie itself is …

I watched the movie “Grease” with my daughter this afternoon on DVD.
“Grease” is pretty much a classic musical which stars Olivia Newton John as Sandy and John Travolta as Danny Zuko. This movie was made in 1977. This movie is based on the play but I do think the …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …
Max Payne
I was at first hesitant to watch the movie by Marc Wahlberg; though I know he is a good actor and has proven himself way too many times in his previous movies, I’d say I am glad that I did go to the movies and watched it. I really …

Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) movie

The Muppet Christmas Carol
The Muppet Christmas Carol is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I did not expect to like it so much when I had first rented it out. First of all, I was not sure whether the muppets would handle the timeless classic with enough reverence; secondly it is a …
Everest (2015)- Biography, Drama Movie

Alien vs. Predator
The anticipated meeting of two of movie’s greatest monsters is finally realized, but unfortunately fails to deliver beyond an initial, fleeting novelty.
There’s some thought put into it; an original Antarctic setting is visually impressive and the back story trying to tie these movie monsters into ancient history is …
Doctor Dolittle
Doctor Dolittle is a delightful musical that has stood up through the test of time as an entertaining film. Oddly, when released in 1967, it didn’t do well. Musicals were sadly on their way out, and Doctor Dolittle was one of the victims. However, it’s become …
We Need to Talk about Kevin (movie)
I’ve been hearing about the movie “We Need to Talk about Kevin” for some months now, and despite watching the trailer and feeling like I had to watch it, I never actually got a chance to until very recently. The result of this was that I was very impressed …

The Accidental Tourist movie
After watching this movie I started to be a great fan of William Hurt’s acting abilities. I must say that I also observed his performance in the more recent “The Good Shepard” and it seems that Hurt hasn’t lost his touch! Unfortunately, although “The Accidental Tourist” is all about …
The Ant Bully Movie
When the movie The Ant Bully first came out on DVD, I kind of resisted watching it because I didn’t think it was going to be any good. However, my daughter recently had a family movie night at her school (which was actually a seminar about bullying but they …
