I watched this film with a little apprehension. I rented it primarily to see if Danny Boyle’s production would capture all the nuances of his other films that I liked. “28 Days Later”, another movie that starred Cilian Murphy–had this really eerie atmosphere that reeked of high …

When I saw Inception, I was really thinking about the actor who played Arthur. I really thought so hard until I remembered that he was Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the guy who was in the movie, 500 Days of Summer.
I saw 500 Days of Summer (2009) at home when I was …

I was watching the movie Forrest Gump again for probably the third or fourth time. While not quite as good as I remember it when I originally saw it, I still think this has to be one of Tom Hanks better pictures.

There are a handful of actors and actresses that I truly enjoy watching perform and Nicholas Cage is one of them. I liked National Treasure the first time I saw it a few years ago. I like history and I like Nichols Cage so this was a …

Thank God somebody stopped this movie from coming out in theaters. Flight of the Living Dead is one of the worst zombie movies I’ve seen. I hated Zombie Honeymoon but Flight of the Living Dead makes that movie seem so much better, you’d forget that Zombie Honeymoon was considered …

OK, when I watch a science fiction movie, I expect space aliens to be aggressive and to desire taking over our planet. I don’t want them to come here to be our friends (unless of course that happens in real life).

I don’t ordinarily enjoy period films. I typically find them boring, tedious, and kind of silly. Plus, there is usually very little that I can relate to in them. But when a relative told me to give “The Other Boleyn Girl” a chance, I …

If my daughter were writing this review of Disney’s Cinderella, it would be scathing. For some reason, Snow White is the reigning queen of the Disney Princesses, and she isn’t even technically a princess until the end. I smile whenever she goes into one of her rants when Cinderella …

“Untraceable” is a nail biting movie with Diane Lane in one of her best roles. What is so interesting about this movie is that it has a slow beginning but, later on, it peaks up in a fast manner with a heart beating ending.

Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)
I first discovered this bizarre vampire film on TV in the 1970’s under the slightly abbreviated title Dracula’s Greatest Love. This is another in a long line of horror movies starring Spain’s Paul Naschy and his first and only Dracula film.
Some women find themselves stranded …

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sequel to the movie Hot Shots; Hot Shots Part Deux. And I have to admit, after seeing it again this morning, it’s as good as I remember it being.

I was not familiar with Wanted. So when I and a friend of mine decided to watch it, I really had nothing to expect (except for a very hot Angelina Jolie, which is very obvious on the DVD cover).

Up until I saw this film I had not seen any of Jason Statham’s work. Like Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme before him, he has made a movie career solely out of the fact that he knows kung fu.
