I love Redbox. It’s a vending machine that dispenses movies, even Blu-rays, with 19 locations within 10 miles of my home. At first DVDs were $1 per movie per night. Now they are $1.20 plus tax. However I think it’s still a great deal. I usually grab a movie …

Let’s face it. So much of Blazing Saddles is so politically incorrect that you’d need several fingers and toes to count the instances. But I don’t think it is a matter of contention with this film. If you take a step back, I think you’ll find Mel Brooks’ intentions …

There’s rarely a sequel to a Hollywood blockbuster that lives up the original in any way. I have to agree with this when it comes to the second installment of the Jason Bourne series, The Bourne Supremacy. Though it’s still good, I can’t say that it holds a candle …

When will the saga end? That is the questing that keeps lingering on the lips and in the minds of the viewing public, me being one of them. For far too long the Jason serial killings in the Friday the 13th franchise been drawn out, done and redone to …

As movie musicals go, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is unsinkable. It’s a marvelously well done movie with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell in the leads. As for being biographical on the real Molly Brown, many liberties were taken. We get a wonderful happy ending here, but …

Normally, when I see a movie that has Drew Barrymore in it, I enjoy it tremendously.
However, Never Been Kissed was a disappointment to me. I’m not sure if the whole concept of a reporter posing to be a high school student just didn’t seem believable enough or if there …
