The film “Mega Snake” is something that can be considered as yet another one of those Syfy original creature horror films. Like quite a few of its b—“rated film predecessors that I have struggled to watch over the years, this one was also B-rated and low budget and I …

Tomb of the Werewolf (2003)
A thorough, total and utter travesty and the only film I have ever seen that was both excruciating to watch and emtionally painful as well.

“The Pursuit of Happyness” is a wonderful film, inspired by the true life story of Chris Garner, who managed to survive with his five-year-old son in early 1980s San Francisco while working his way through an unpaid six-month intership to become a stock broker.
Will Smith is spectacular as Chris, …

A neat little British comedy from the early 1980s about a family going on a trip to the sea to spend their holiday there. This trip leads to a lot of confusion and misunderstandings that has a lot of the dry british touch to it impossible to mistake for …

This movie was hilarious. It features a modern fairy tale story set in the present time and what I like about it most is that the famous and cool James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men) is actually such a romantic prince here and he does a very great job at …

Musing on another Godard film I watched last night, I still have these fresh thoughts stuck in my head. Watching Godard is never a bore. I recently read an article in the nytimes talking about Paris as a most favored site for shooting movies. This film was …

Bela Lugosi is once again out for blood in Return Of The Vampire, produced in 1944 by Columbia pictures. This is one of my favorite vampire movies, and I still remember seeing it on late night TV in my youth.

When it comes to action movies, there are none better than Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, when it comes to comedies, there are few worse.
The movie Twins is probably Schwarzenegger’s best attempt and, while there are some funny scenes, it really isn’t all that great.
He and Danny Devito play twin brothers …

After the numerous video game-related films like Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter, and Double Dragon that were utter disasters, I’m cynical when Hollywood makes a movie involving video games or a movie is based on a noted property. Once in a while, Hollywood will surprise me with a …
