A classic epic by the underrated filmmaker Anthony Mann. It depicts the whole last period of the Roman Empire in detail and gives one possible theory of what caused its fall (which historians aren’t quite sure of). Great actors like Alec Guinness and Omar Sharif makes this film even …

“Born Yesterday” is a 1950 Columbia Pictures black and white production provides 103 minutes of great fun. Locations shots were filmed throughout Washington D.C. “Born Yesterday” is, to quote the tagline, “a perfectly swell motion picture!” If you are one of those people who is hypersensitive to political correctness …

In all the toy story movies I have ever watched, this was the most emotional and dramatic ever! My first comment is - it’s not really for kids, they wouldn’t even understand half of what’s going on, second, it’s cartoons for adults, the jokes are for adults, the punchlines, …

I finally saw the Psycho 1998 version and I must say it was a good movie. Now I have never seen the original Alfred Hitchcock version, but this one was pretty good. A younger Vince Vaughn played the role of the Psycho killer. He did a great job in the …

An early film with Matt Dillon who plays a young man very disappointed with his father who he regards as a weakling. One day his mother is kidnapped and the father quickly changes into a very brave man and decisionmaker. Perhaps his father isn’t the kind of person believed …

The wind will carry us is a film by Abbas Kiarostami, who is known for films like Close-Up and maybe most of all - one of my own personal favorites - Taste of cherry. His style is very slow, but in his case it’s always a positive thing, because …

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the holy grail of comedic masterpieces and quickly became a cult classic for a very good reason. This movie is filled with stereotypical British humor but it is presented in such a way as to not alienate international audiences. The jokes are …

The complete third season of Beast Wars: Transformers on DVD is a letdown. It’s not the fault of the picture or sound quality on the DVD set, although the amount of “extras” is very disappointing, but it’s the episodes that are the real problem. Unlike season two, the scripts …

“The Skeleton Key” was the first movie that was not a romance comedy which I had the pleasure of seeing Kate Hudson in. I hate romance comedies, and so seeing her in another movie which was not a romance comedy, especially a horror movie, was very refreshing to me. …

Orlando, 1992, is one strange movie. Orlando, a young nobleman and poet in 16th century England, is told by Queen Elizabeth I to never grow old and never die. He does exactly that - and more. Not only he goes on living through centuries without aging a day, at …

I finally got an opportunity to see the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. While I normally enjoy movies like this one, I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed.
The plot of the musical isn’t bad. You have a famous singer who has been drafted and is heading off to …

Any move with Ben Stiller is bound to be funny and the Heartbreak Kid is no exception. And now you can bring it home on DVD and enjoy it whenever you want. But it is definitely an adult comedy, rated R, so if you can make sure the kids …

Hollywood has long been known to produce some great movies. It seems the wheels of the machine have stopped turning of late and all they will produce are remakes. Some, of course, seem light years better than others. Among the few that are destined to be forgotten are Flight …

I got home from work last night and wanted to watch something a bit different from the shows I normally watch. Fortunately for me, I came across the movie Rat Race on one of our movie channels.
I have seen this movie a half dozen times now at least and …

If placed in the hands of a second-rate screenwriter, certain concepts or premises could fall apart. This movie could easily have been one of those, but expert screenwriting and fine performances by Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler make this a charming, believable movie.
The story centers around Drew, who had …

Though made in 2009, Desperate Escape only premiered on the Lifetime Movie Channel in February 2010. Make no mistake this is a B-movie with a standard, much-used plot and not a single surprise within in, unless you’re new to TV and movies. What it does have, however, …

This movie is about a group of girls who came together to form a musical band. Similar to most movies that sport the music theme, this one is no different, I mean, you’ve seen one movie about music bands, you’ve seen them all. There are basically no real differences …

Even if explained like this, it might sound a little boring, it’s …

The movie Titanic was very popular in those days. Wow this movie is really great and excellent. I don’t think that there will be any one will ever make any other movie like this. All the scenes in this movie were looking so real and the …

The 2010 film “Love and Other Drugs” staring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal, was not only funny but very heart warming and the perfect film to see if you are looking for comedy, romance, and great acting that will make you want to cry, laugh, sigh or all three.
Jake …

Adam Sandler has attempted to do dramas in the past and has failed miserably. Ironically, the best drama he has is one that was supposed to have been a comedy; Bulletproof.
The thing I like about Bulletproof is, even though you do have some funny moments in it, the movie …

I ended up coming across a somewhat older movie last night; Parenthood. I’ve seen this film before. But, it had been a long time so I thought I would take the time to watch it.
When I started watching the movie, I realized I didn’t remember a single thing about …

Don’t be fooled by the title of this movie, because the 1999 film “Arabian Nights” holds much more interest and high stakes adventure with a twist of romance and suspense at survival of one’s life, than it appears.
In this film, Scheherazade (played by Mili Avital) is trying desperately …

Pride and Prejudice, 1995, the mini-series, is my favorite adaptation of the Jane Austen’s classic novel. The movie is so well-done, I could go on for hours describing its merits. The script, casting, acting, costumes, music - everything is just excellent. Colin Firth makes a perfect Mr. Darcy, serious …

I remember thinking that Bruce Almighty was going to be disappointing when I watched it, and I do think that it was a little disappointing in the end. It is not nearly as good as the movie after it. The movie I felt, was a little disrespectful to religion, …

I admit that I am a Jodie Foster fan. Whatever this actress does, she always impress me with her acting talent. “Anna and the King” is an impressive movie mainly because the two main acters are simply brilliant and together with a great director they manage to hold you …

This DVD should not be confused with The Clone Wars which is now on TV. This movie is also a cartoon but it feels like a series of ten minute stories about Clone Wars. This has most of the characters from the prequels and there is no doubt that …

If you liked the film Moulin Rouge, which was released around the same period of time in which the movie “Chicago” was released, then you might just like the movie “Chicago”. I was eager to watch it when I saw it advertising since first of all, I didn’t know …

I would have to admit that Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones is certainly a step up from Episode I, although I personally enjoy Episode III the most out of the original trilogy. Whereas Episode I had the burden of introducing characters and not just setting up …
