Have you ever think what life is like for gangsters in the witness protection program? Movies have featured such characters more than once, but other than a bit of snippet at the end of Martin Scorsese’s cult film Goodfellas, I can’t think of any movies that could tell you more …

Redbox, for those that don’t know what it is, are those big red movie vending machines that can be found at most Wal-Marts, Walgreens, gas stations and McDonalds. They’re basically everywhere. Sometimes you’ll find two of them in one location if they get a lot of business. Whoever invented …

This is the story of a boy who had a dream of playing golf at the professional level only to be told that he could only enter the competition as an amateur. No one expected him to go as far in the competition as he did and what was …

Marvel, Marvel, Marvel. The only time a Marvel movie turned out right was when the first Avengers movie came out and even then- way too much action. Avengers: Age of Ultron is one of those movies where the visuals draw you in but the story spits you out. If you …

Adam Sandler was ridiculously funny as always. I loved him in this film so much. He lived out some of our greatest fantasies. At least once, we have all wished that at a click of a button we could change something. Well, Adam Sandler actually got the chance to …

I had avoided watching the movie “Runaway Bride” for a very long time since it was released in the year nineteen nintey nine since I am not a fan of romance movies. Another reason is because I was about ten or eleven at the time it was released so …

At first, I think, a movie with the thriller ‘Old Star’ like Kevin Costner and Demi Moore as the main stars? It feels like déjavu to 90s years? I rather disparaging. 90s era is an era where films Thriller many good outstanding (Silence of the Lambs, Single White Female, …

I assumed that Alice in Wonderland would be very interesting because Tim Burton was a part of it. I thought the visuals would be wonderful and the story a bit on the darker side. I never went to see the movie in the theaters, but already I was hearing …

We found a copy of the Happy Feet movie at a bookstore here and snapped it up. We bought it because we are animation movie fans especially movies made by Pixar. My hubby and I expected this movie to be good. It started out Okay. There was a penguin …

You probably know the tag-line “Who is watching the watchmen?” and should add yourself to the list of people doing just that.
I’m a confessed sci-fi/fantasy geek, pretty up there in the scale but short of Klingon-speaking-Con-attending-Trekkie status. So I knew I would like this film. Even if you’re not …

I am reviewing the Case of the Deadly Prophecy, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …

I’m not …

As far as movies are concerned, having a family moving into a house that is falling apart has been done so many times it’s hard to count. I mean, haven’t people heard of The Money Pit yet?
Are We Done Yet isn’t anything I haven’t seen before and, other than …

A Dead Calling is the kind of movie that I would only watch as a last resort, or because it was cheap. In my case it was a little of both. My local video rental place was clearing out some of their older movies, and I managed to grab …

My wife and I ended up watching some Christmas movies the other day, including National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation; a movie that apparently has been out for 20 years now (making me feel old considering I remember it being at the theater).
Of the other Lampoon’s Vacation movies, this one is …

Starring: Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo
I keep waiting for Jennifer Anniston to wow me and star in a movie where she doesn’t act in the exact same way as her character from “Friends”, Rachel Green. “Rumour Has It” is not the movie to change my perception …

Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy. Frank Darabont, however, makes this perfectly, creates a delicious, challenging cinema, full of unexpected vertigo action and psychological analysis. Combining drama with fantasy does not sound appetizing. “The Green Mile” is an exception to the …

The “Jason Bourne” series of spy movies has been an enormous attraction for Matt Damon who coolly travels through these films like a Tiger Shark waiting for his next prey. He is apparently always one step ahead of the espionage officials who look for him and one move quicker …

This turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment. As a fan of Hunter S. Thompson, upon whose 1961 novel this film is based, and the movie’s lead, Johnny Depp, I was expecting something far zanier and more entertaining (the obvious touchstone being 1998’s “Fear and Loathing in Las …

Adapted from a short story by Stephen King, The Langoliers is yet another entry into the hit and miss catalogue of mini-series and movies based upon his works.
The story itself is both simple and unsettling; a small group of passengers awaken on a commercial plane midflight to find the …

I’ll start this off by setting the record straight….sadly, I am a massive harry potter fan.. i Know sad at 18 years old isn’t it? But, as such i have read the books enough times to know fallacys in these films when i see them, and it seems that …

An adaptation of the classic story by Homeros about the adventurer Odysseus who goes on a journey and experiences all kinds of dangers before he can finally return home.
This is the kind of adventure production that is often showed on the channel of Hallmark. That is, low budget films …

This a 2011 movie but I watched it with my friends just recently this year. It went for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. Originally I wanted to watch MI4, but after watching Tower Heist I know that I made the right decision to watch it.
Although it wasn’t …

One of the movies that I watched recently was “Batman: Dark Knight Rises” and to be honest, I didn’t expect it to come anywhere near the previous one in the series in terms of greatness, where I was blown away by Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker. Nevertheless, I …

Blackboard Jungle with Glen Ford, Sidney Poitier, Vic Morrow, and Anne Francis.
I do not understand all the hoopla for this movie as it was very mediocre. Glen Ford is a pleasant enough actor, but not right in the role of a inspirational teacher. Sidney …

Back in the 1980s, you could make a movie about Pro Wrestling and people might buy into the storylines. But, with most people today realizing that the matches they see on television and pay-per-view are pre-determined, trying to make a modern movie about the “sport” just doesn’t work.
That’s why …

It has been a rare moment since Ben Stiller’s comical movie, Night at the Museum, since I’ve been pretty interested in another comical movie. And a very funny one at that. And that is none other than Ghost Town. This is super funny, very entertaining and definitely …

I am really happy that the new film from the series “Robocop” which reboots the series from the beginning, is an exception to the rule that I have found that reboots usually don’t work out as well as their original movies. This fantastic action created by the director Jose …

Old Humphrey Bogart is excellent as always in this forgotten piece by Michael Curtiz. Incredibly intense and engaging from start …

Frozen is an excellent movie to watch if you have some time to kill and want it to fly by unnoticed. This is a great thriller that involves you and captures your imagination almost from the start. Being a very independent film, this is not a movie that boasts …

Some call this movie Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, but as I’ve said before, to me, it’s just plain Return of the Jedi. Once commonly thought of as just another sequel, once George Lucas actually wrote his other scripts, it became a rung in …

Personally, I consider a film to be great if it had any impact towards me after watching it. These films are very rare. I love films when I see them simply because I don’t have time for bad movies. I look for recommendations, I look for ratings and I look …

This is the best on-line movie rental program ever!! Even BlockBuster can’t come close to this. We love the selection of movies on DVD from old black and white silent to today’s current movies. TV shows that we grew up with and miss, since we think …

After watching a couple interviews with the actor Robert Downey Jr, I became interested in him as a person and as an actor. However, it occurred to me almost at that moment that I really don’t know much about him and haven’t watched many of his movies. Therefore, I …

A movie based on the life of Howard Hughes and all the trials he beared in his lifetime. From the Actresses to the Hearings of his mis-use of government funds and his compulsive tendencies. Leonardo DiCarprio portrays a great Howard Hughes…a well done performance. This movie is not a …

Ocean’s Thirteen with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Ellen Barkin, and Al Pacino.

I just finished watching the DVD of the Film “Sister Helen.” I had never heard of the 2002 movie but saw it on the shelf at my local library. Since I could check it for free, I figured I had nothing to lose and checked it out.
I am very …

When I saw the previews to the movie Knocked Up, I thought it would be hilarious. In fact, I had a couple friends tell me they watched it and were laughing throughout.
After watching it last night, I can say I was seriously disappointed by it.
I will start out …

Newness, Love, Adventure, Thriller, a comedy and more. King Kong has a newness to an old flick with dinosaurs and all sorts of prehistoric animals.

Everyone already knows that fast food is bad for you. When it comes to movies, Supersize Me covered that quite thoroughly. But what if that hamburger wasn’t just packed with calories, but also possibly contained something far worse? That’s the premise, on the surface at least, of Fast Food …
