Fast Food Nation

True Grit Movie
The age of Westerns has certainly passed. I cannot remember the last time a movie qualifying for that category has been widely, successfully released. And yet, apparently there is still an audience for them as can be seen with the release of True Grit, a Coen Brothers remake of …
Don’t Breathe - Horror Movie (2016)
When it comes to horror movies, I’ve been disappointed by the garbage churned out over the past decade. Most horror movies draw up on the cliches that were once innovative at the start of the decade. However, Don’t Breathe stands out for all the right reasons. It’s definitely a scary …
Sky High movie
Sky High really surprised me. I thought it would be a totally silly movie with crude humor. Well, it is silly, but it’s fun silly, the way good, old fashioned comedy used to be, and that’s why I like it. Sky High is in a reality …
Killing Them Softly, crime film
Killing them softly is a crime film that takes the genre completely to another level. The characters and cinematography is top notch however, I found the story to be a bit on the weaker side.
Talking about camera-work, this mob film sure is a breath of fresh air. The joint-smoking …
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: The Movie
I was not too fond of the fifth movie in the Harry Potter series that I was not really looking forward to the release of the movie version of the sixth installment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. But being a true-blue Harry Potter fan, I eventually saw the …
Monsters Inc.
I recently loaded the movie Monsters Inc on our netflix player for my daughter to watch. She hasn’t seen this movie before. I have and I think it is a great animated film.
The thing I like about this movie is the unique plot. You have a bunch of monsters …
The Europeans (1979)
This 1979 movie has failed my expectations, big time. It is based on a novel by Henry James, and the story is set in 1850s � my favorite timeframe, so I thought I was going to love it. A wealthy American family lives a comfortable life in their house …

Netflix Online
It’s time to put Blockbuster behind us.
Here’s why:
Selection. It doesn’t matter whether you like horror, comedy, romance, or history movies– Netflix has it all.
The price is reasonable. You know how much it costs to rent a movie at your local store, it’s outrageous. If you watch more than four …

Rocky Horror Picture Show
While I’ve never felt the urge to do any cross dressing, I have to admit I’m almost as big of a fan of the Rocky Horror Picture Show as many of the people who do go that far.

Robin Hood: Men In Tights (1993)
I have always loved satirical and fantasy movies and “Robin Hood: Men In Tights” is one that gives me the best of both worlds. I will say right now, this movie is not for everyone, but if you like satire, this is the one to see. Mel Brooks really …
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is not bad of a movie, if you ask me. Starring Matthew McConaughey, the beautiful Jennifer Garner and the very talented Michael Douglas, this is a movie not to be watched for those loving romantic comedies.
There are quite a few laughable plots, especially …
Film “Sex and the City 2″
I just finished watching Sex and the City 2 today. I enjoyed this film more than I thought I would. I did see the first one and liked it as well. I was never a huge fan of the show, I saw 5 or 6 episodes, …
The Union: The Business Behind Getting High
I find conspiracy theories fascinating and although the documentary The Union: The Business Behind Getting High cannot be technically categorized as a conspiracy it is controversial enough to ignite the interest of anyone regardless of background opinion on the issue at hand.
Let me first state that I do not …

Friday the 13th Part 8

Movie How to Deal
Once again, I have to admit, I’m becoming more and more impressed with Mandy Moore whenever I see her in a movie. And, this time it was on Lifetime.
Her film How to Deal is actually an interesting look into the mind of a teenager. She comes from a divorced …
Hairspray movie
Hairspray is a warm fuzzy type of movie. The musical style gives it a lot of fun complete with dancing. On top of that there is a great story and a very happy ending. It is a movie that has it all. John Travolta plays the heavyset mom, which …
Sharknado 2: The Second One (movie)
I don’t remember seeing Sharknado 2 advertise, but when I saw the trailer for its prequel Sharknado for the very first time I was convinced the entire thing had to be a joke or one of those bad Syfy movies even with all the so-called rave reviews it had …

Bruce Almighty Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey was brilliantly funny in this movie. He has always been one of my favorite actors and this movie just sealed it. It kind of made me think not to ever question God’s authority again. Jim Carrey plays a guy who is fed up with always being the …

As a kid, I enjoyed reading Matilda by Roald Dahl, so I also wanted to see the movie. I saw it when it was in the theaters, and I have watched it numerous times since then. The story is about a girl who isn’t being challenged to …
Braveheart
For me, this movie was hard to watch. Brutal battles, blood, gore, and a horrible scene of torture in the end that I couldn’t handle; I just left and returned when it was nearly over. Mel Gibson plays William Wallace, a 13 century Scottish freedom fighter. After the English …
A Perfect Getaway (Movie)
When I saw this on the trailer I immediately knew it was going to be a very good suspense/thriller movie. The movie features Milla Jovovich and Steve Zahn as the Anderson honeymooners, Timothy Olyphant and and Kiele Sanchez as the other couple, and Marley Shelton and Chris Hemsworth as …
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (movie)
I don’t like most musicals because I find the majority of them boring and almost ridiculous. It really doesn’t matter what they’re about either, because they generally evoke the same feelings within me. I knew absolutely nothing about Hedwig and the Angry Inch when I was younger, because if …
