‘Shutter Island’ movie
I remember seeing trailers for this movie a few years back, but I don’t recall hearing anything one way or the other. The trailers made it look like a solid psychological thriller, so I figured I’d check it out.

Desperate Escape movie
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, …

Sixteen Candles
What is interesting about teen movies is the fact that every time period is associated to a film. Now a days is “High School Musical” period, but in the 80’s they had “Sixteen Candles” which was a smashing hit at the time.
This movie definitely marked the beginning of …
Shrek3 Shrek the Third
I loved the first two Shrek movies, this third one was such a dissappointment to me. I mean I really thought I’d enjoy it. Usually the first movies is good, then the sequel bombs, and everything else follows.. but in this case Shrek 1 & 2 were …
Tangled animated movie (2010)
Another foray into Disney’s celebrated fairy tale genre, “Tangled” is a retelling of the classic story of Rapunzel. I grew up watching Disney’s second Golden Age, so I watched “The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin”, “Mulan”, and so many other masterpieces in addition to their creations during the first Golden …

Nosferatu is such a cool, classic movie. We are talking black and white, 1929, horror at its best. Nosteratu, if you don’t know, is a vampire. He’s a Dracula, but not Dracula. Nosferatu is a silent film and what is so very cool about it is the looks, the …

The Night Flier, 1997 movie
As you may have guessed, this movie is not for those who seek morals and some points in GMRC but I watched this movie because I thought it was like a Jeepers Creepers type of thing and that it was based on Stephen King’s work but I got disappointed. …

Halloween II (2009) movie
Rob Zombie’s journey from musician to filmmaker has certainly been interesting. The goth-rocker’s journey from ‘Dragula’ to ‘Devil’s Reject’ has been an odd mix of trashy screams and atmospheric horror, Rob Zombie’s films have always been something else. And ’something else’ is probably the best way to …
Pan’s Labyrinth
The other night I watched a very unique movie called Pan’s Labyrinth, or El Laberinto del fauno. I really enjoyed this movie. Pan’s Labyrinth was out in 2006. The movie is set in the time of the Spanish civil war. Pan’s Labyrinth primarily follows the …

The Boss of it All
The Boss of it All is a movie that I love watching. It is very goofy, and makes fun of the corporate industry, and what really goes on inside. It targeted and has a sarcastic message to those bosses who have it all, and making wry decisions.

The Wedding Singer, starring Drew Barrymoore and Adam Sandler, is one of my favorite movies because it makes you believe in love.

Pandora’s Clock
The reason I tuned into Pandora’s Clock, a 1996 TV movie, was because it starred Richard Dean Anderson, who is one of my favorite performers. I’ll start with the girlish stuff and get that out of the way. In a uniform, Anderson is yummy. He just …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith A Movie

Adventureland (2009) Movie
If you’ve seen the 2009 movie Adventureland’s poster, you probably wouldn’t think it’s a kind of dark coming-of-age story. Well, it is. Anyone expecting laugh-out-loud comedy in the same vein as director Greg Mottola’s previous film, Superbad, would be in for a disappointment. I was glad to find, however, …
The Lake House
I wonder why this movie was so under-advertised when it was released in 2006, and why it went pretty much unnoticed? However, “unnoticed” is probably not the right word; all my friends who appreciate good movies did notice it, and commented on its unusual style and beauty.
“The Lake House” …
Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie
