COBRA, the movie (1986)
When motorcyclists start chasing under the window in the middle of the night, I immediately think of this movie. Sly was so good at shooting them with a machine gun on the move! Except I wouldn’t take a machine gun, but a heavy machine gun and enough ammo to go …
Rise of the Planet of the Apes movie

Movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

My Name is Bruce movie
When my wife and I sat down to watch the movie My Name is Bruce Saturday afternoon, I wasn’t really expecting much of it. I figured a film about Bruce Campbell playing himself and fighting real monsters would end up being a bit too corny and farfetched for me.
But, …
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
“The Wizard of Oz” is one of the best MGM musicals of all time and a film that continues to cross generational lines. I read somewhere that they had originally wanted Shirley Temple to play the part of Dorothy. As talented a child actress as Temple was, …

Signs (2002 Movie)
There is one word that describes this movie…”BORING”. It’s a long, drawn out, dull, mind-numbing, boring tale of aliens coming to earth. And as always, the aliens have some to destroy mankind…been there, done that, seen it too many times. I guess we should all be wearing tip foil …
Casablanca movie
Classic love triangle, memorable lines, told against an exotic backdrop of French Morocco. These elements served the artists well back in 1942, and have stood the test of time. Casablanca is a treasure among great films.
Anything Bogie steps into is going to come out shining like the North Star. …
Batman Begins (movie 2005)
The best Batman movie to-date, no contest. It shows a more serious and realistic take on the death of Bruce Wayne’s parents and the reason he decided to become the Dark Knight. It takes us alongside him as he struggles to find himself and the adventures he has while …
Top Gun
For me “Top Gun” represents one of the very first movies that I watched at the cinema. For the main actor in this movie Tom Cruise, it represented his ticket to win over directors and a lot of women’s hearts! In other words, the beginning of a success story!
Although …
Running Scared Paul Walker
I originally thought this was a remake of the old Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines movie but soon realized it wasn’t. I decided to watch it anyway and have to admit it was pretty good. It was fast paced enough for me and I could even deal with the …
Away from Her
I actually went looking for this for this movie in DVD. The teasers made a compelling case for how Alzheimer ’s disease impacts the lives of people every day. Of course the movie came with the required outpouring of various Hollywood actors telling their sad tales of …

Shutter 2008 Remake
This remake of a Thai film is, simply put, bad. The acting is stodgy and stilted at best, while the stylistic approach seems to follow that set by The Ring years earlier. It seems like, since the success of that horror movie, numerous new imitations and remakes of asian …
“Juno” film
Thanks to TBS I was able to watch “Juno” for the first time. I’m happy this movie finally made it to cable television.

I’ll start out by saying Ice Age 2 is a good family movie and is certainly enjoyable.

21 Jump Street (2012)
21 Jump Street isn’t the greatest movie ever. In my opinion, it isn’t even close. However, that doesn’t mean that this movie isn’t worth watching. I find that it has some cheesy moments, a slight romance, but mostly comedy and action. I appreciate a good hardcore guns blazing shooting …

Lord of War Movie Staring Nicholas Cage

Mandy Moore in A Walk To Remember
‘A Walk To Remember’ was a film released in 2002, was one unforgettable and must-see movie. The drama made me cry even if I watched it so many times. It’s timelessly and beautifully romantic.

The Fugitive movie

F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ movie
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ from 1974 was a bore to me. I’ve never really been into the Fitzgerald world. The Great Gatsby didn’t thrill me either, and I saw it in the theater, back when screens were huge. I also like …
