From 1946, Heartbeat starred Ginger Rogers as Arlette Lafron, Jean-Pierre Aumont as Pierre de Roche, Adolphe Menjou as the Ambassador, and Basil Rathbone as Professor Aristide. Having Rathbone in this role is such a hoot. That’s because the good professor teaches students how to pick pockets and …

I watched this film recently on DVD, mainly because it’s British and I love British film, but also because it stars Rowan Atkinson and Kristin Scott Thomas, both brilliant actors. Rowan Atkinson plays a vicar (again) and is very believable in the part, showing no Mr Bean style goofiness …

Paranormal Activity is probably the least scary movie I have seen. I can say with all honesty that I did not find this movie funny. Yeah sure it got a lot of crazy reviews and media hype. But when ti came down to sitting down and watching this film even …

In the early ’60s, screenwriter and director Herschell Gordon Lewis created what became known as the “blood trilogy”- three overly-gory films that single-handedly created the “splatter” sub-genre of horror. 1964’s Two Thousand Maniacs succeeded Blood Feast as the second installment to this classic trilogy. In my opinion this is …

I’m not sure what it is about Jennifer Aniston movies, but, whenever I see them, I just can’t stay focused on them.

While Eminem and Brittney Murphy, along with Mikai Phiffer are very talented, I have to wonder if the movie they starred in, “8 Mile” which was featured in theaters in 2002, was really a film worth watching. The film itself I believe was trying to do something positive …

The synopsis on the DVD cover looked interesting at first; eerie voodoo happenings on a secluded tropical island. However it was more …

Umm. Yuck.
I was lucky enough to see the 1981 rerelease of Vincent Price’s original House of Wax in 3-D in theaters and it was a visual treat.

unerotic Paris Hilton deliver the …

I like the fact that Sandra Bullock in many of her films, usually plays a feisty but vulnerable sort of character, a real fighter, someone we can all relate to. “All About Steve” continues in this time honored tradition, rather like, “Miss Congeniality”. I was pleasantly surprised to find …

Since yesterday was Halloween, my wife and I spent part of the afternoon watching scary movies. One of the movies we ended up watching was one I haven’t seen in a long time called Dolls. I didn’t remember much about it, other than, when I was younger, it scared …
