Now You See Me 2 (2016 Film)
This year we have been blessed with unnecessary sequels, and if you think that the “expansion” of the magic-filled world of the first Now You See Me Film would offer something different, then you are very wrong.
There’s also a reason why it holds a fairly small rating in critics-consensus websites …
Bad Boys 2, movie
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence did it so well the first time, that I couldn’t wait to see them reprise their roles as Drug Agents working for the Miami P.D. However, this film was lacking the story and power of the first, but it still had enough chemistry between …
Batman movie
Batman was Tim Burton’s breakthrough to a major audience, and captures the darkness and gothic aspects of the comic series in a remarkable visual way. Michael Keaton is solid as the hero but the great acting performance is done by Jack Nicholson as the villain The Joker. The role …
Movie: Superhero Movie

Captain Phillips (movie)

Anything Else movie

Girl, Interrupted
Girl, Interrupted is a very good attempt by the makers of the movie. The movie which is inspired by the book with the same title, deals with a teenage girl’s experiences at a rehabilitation center during her 18 month stay there. Though the movie doesn’t have a universal appeal, …
The Help (movie)
One of the best drama movies I remember watching in the early part of 2012 was the movie named “The Help”. I had expected it to be very good because of the actors that were involved in its making, but I never thought that it would be one of …
Futurama Movie #1 - Bender’s Big Score
After Matt Groening and David X Cohen’s television comedy series Futurama was canceled at the end of Season Four, it ended on a potentially upbeat note, but it was open-ended enough to leave fans wondering if there would be any future installments in the series. Not long after, …
Gravity Movie 2013

Risky Business movie

Betrayal movie
From 1974, Betrayal is a movie I didn’t enjoy watching and which I don’t ever want to see again. I’m actually very sorry I sat through it this one time. The thing is that the description on the DVD case indicated it was another movie called Betrayal, …
Close My Eyes (R, 1991) movie

Fargo
I’ve always said there are many under-rated actors in Hollywood, and Fargo has two of them. William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi have helped many movies succeed with their performances, without the accolades of their peers. This movie is no exception. Both actors made this movie successful.
Macy is a …

Lars and the Real Girl (PG-13, 2007) movie

No Good Deed (2014 Thriller Movie)

Nightmare of Elm Street movie (2010)

Pledge This movie
I’m far from being a Paris Hilton fan. She’s an OK actress but isn’t someone that is going to have me going out of my way to rent a movie just to watch her. But, of all the movies we watched this past weekend, her film “Pledge This” surprisingly …
