At first I really wanted to see this film. The previews looked incredibly scary. And as usual the powers that be put the scariest, most disturbing scenes in the actual trailer. I cannot believe that I actually was going to visit the movie theater …

Fast, furious and deadly these are the best words that describe the movie “Death Race” with Jason Statham in a very different role when compared to “Transporter” movies. This film is a remake of the 1975 movie “Death Race 2000″ which had the actors, David Carradine and …

Director Courtney Solomon’s direction in the film “An American Haunting” was well done in some aspects. I believe that he used the elements of atmosphere to his advantage and played with it to draw the audience into the dark winter of 1818. Unfortunately, like with most of …

I saw this movie twice and was very impressed by Julia Roberts’ acting. She isn’t one of my favorites, which I don’t think is her fault. Since ‘Pretty Woman’ she has been a bit typecast. Most movies I’ve seen her in have been very light and …

This movie was very popular, especially among the preteen girl crowd. I can see why - they definitely chose actors/actresses that would appeal to that age group, including the boy who plays Troy (main character).
The movie itself is sort of silly in the way a lot of kids movies …

The story is awfully slight and I know that they couldn’t do much in 7 minutes, but this is too slight regardless. The birthday …

What a deeply prophetic and darkly funny film this is. The performances from Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway and William Holden are absolute perfection, and Sidney Lumet’s directing is brilliant as well, but the screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky is the true diamond of this movie. It is shockingly …

This movie is such an odd combination of movies. I really love it and I adore 70’s horror films but it is so hard to pin down.

A hideous “comedy” that is supposed to make fun of old horror movie cliches with a focus on predictable storytelling and shock effects. However, all it does is show a very long and disturbing series of prejudice, poor taste and idiotic humour. The film is by the way is …

I’m not sure what I want to say about 1934’s Palooka, which I don’t think I’ve seen before, but can’t be sure. At the head of the cast list was Jimmy Durante as Knobby Walsh. I like Durante, except for when he gets over nutty. There’s …

The Godfather (part 1) is one of a few movies I watched several times, besides Kramer vs Kramer, Accidental Hero, Heat, Ronin, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, The Untouchable, Rain Man, The Deer Hunter and…uhm, Entrapment (What? It is an entertaining movie, isn’t it?).
Based on the novel of notable author …

This movie really seemed strange when I first read about it on Netflix. But then a friend rented it and I was so excited about the animation, and how the conversations just flowed from scene to scene. I would advise most people to refrain from engaging …

The Rock and Sean William Scott play in this movie as the two main characters. They are really good together in this movie, very funny together also. There were two parts in the movie that I thought were really funny. The rest of the movie was also funny but …

1965 gave the world another Elvis Presley movie, this time called Girl Happy. It featured, once again, Shelley Fabares. She and the King had a real chemistry going, but I have to say that I hated her hairdo in this flick. She looked really funny with …
