Strange Wilderness (starring Steve Zahn)
I went to watch Strange Wilderness before with my best friend and we were just choosing it at random. The cast is pretty unknown to us except for Steve Zahn, which I couldn’t quite put a name to him. And if you are trying to find Bigfoot, you …
The Bridesmaids Movie
The movie Bridesmaids was not quiet what I thought that it would be. When I first saw the previews for the movie I was convinced that it would be absolutely hilarious. However, I have to say that although I did find that movie funny, it was not quiet the …
The Princess Diaries
“The Princess Diaries” was Anne Hathway passport to success and also opened her way to other interesting and challenging roles such as “The Devil’s Wears Prada” and “Brokeback Mountain”. What I find interesting about this actress in the fact that even though she didn’t work on a huge list of …

King Arthur
First off, I did not hate this movie. It was a somewhat entertaining movie with nice special effects, great battle sequences, and acting, when not overblown or stale, was watchable. What bothered me was at the beginning of the movie, we are promised with text on the …
Killer Diller movie
Killer Diller, a 1948 movie doesn’t really feel like a movie. What it feels more like is a cavalcade of talent, African Americans who could really put on a show. Having never seen this before, I was amazed by the show and pretty much enjoyed it all.
Again, …

X-Men: Apocalypse 2016 Superhero Movie
I read and heard a lot of bad reviews about the new X-Men: Apocalypse movie. This was from both dissatisfied movie goers and fans of the comic, thus I just wrote it off as a bad movie initially and put it out of my head. However, when someone I knew …
27 Dresses
Watching feel good and light story movies does make someone feel better, and often times feel good about themselves. I think 27 Dresses did that to me. Katherine Heigl is wonderful in her role and being the “always” bridesmaids suits her. With all the glamour and stuffs she has …

Movie: The Ruins
When I think of The Ruins the words for decription that come to mind is unexpected surprise. Although I’m a huge fan of horror films, creature features are not the ones I enjoy the most. I don’t even remember why I put this on my netflix queue …

Forest Gump movie
Forest Gump is someone I would like to know. Of course this is a movie about a fictional character but I like to believe there are people like Forest in the world. Forest Gump is played by Tom Hanks who is absolutely super! Forest is mentally handicapped and his …
A Guy Thing
“A Guy Thing” is definitely the movie that made the actor, Jason Lee be noticed to the general public. I personally watched him act in another movie “Kissing a Fool” and he was great, however I prefer best his interpretation of Paul Morse in the hilarious comedy “A Guy …

Blonde Joke Videos
It’s probably not politically correct to make fun of blondes any longer, but I ran across several lately that made me laugh at least. They can be found on Youtube.com and probably in similar places like Google Video.
The first of these a very cute blonde video, or maybe it’s …
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
After the hugely successful, and critically acclaimed Terminator 2; a further sequel was obviously inevitable. However tightly the second movie concluded, however finally that last act seemed; box office gain would always dictate another movie would be made. Unfortunately, Terminator 3 neither provides a worthy successor to its predecessors, …
Untraceable
“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.
“Untraceable” is about Jennifer Marsh (Lane) …
Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016 Drama-War Film)
At the beginning of the year, I immediately told my friends that my most anticipated 2016 film was Ang Lee’s new feature called “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk”. That didn’t changed until I found out the “Whiplash”-creator Damien Chazelle announced he has a new film coming out in December called …
The Eye Movie
The Eye is one of those movies that I kind of wanted to see, but I really wasn’t sure if I would like it. As one of those rare (very rare) horror fans that never really liked the Japanese imports, I’ve been more than a little disappointed at the …

It’s been ages since I’ve sat down and watched a Charlie Chan movie, so going into this I was curious to see how I’d enjoy it again. This movie, Charlie Chan in Reno, was from 1939 and stars Sidney Toler in the role of the infamous detective.
The black …
The Wrestler (2008) Movie
I recorded this movie on Sky Plus and then did not watch it for the longest time, until recently. This is because despite the fact that it stars Mickey Rourke - one of my most favourite actors - I did prejudge that, despite all the critics raving about …
The X-Flies: I Want to Believe
I enjoyed The X-Files: I Want to Believe more than any of the X-Files television series I watched. I was happy to see the characters Dana Scully, Fox Mulder and Assistant Director Walter Skinner being played by the original cast. I think it takes a lot away from the …

RV (Robin Williams) movie
When RV came out at the theaters, I avoided it like the plague. I like Robin Williams but I have been very disappointed by his comedies in the past.
After seeing it on DVD this past weekend, I was sorry it took me so long to see it.
I was always …
Idiots & Angels, movie (2008)

Walk the Line
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon do a phenomenal job portraying Johhny Cash and June Carter. They even did their own singing, as I found out, which is impressive. They do a fantastic job with everything in this film.
Upon watching the commentary, I was pleased to discover that …

I have always loved The Undefeated. It’s a superb western starring John Wayne and Rock Hudson. The time is the end of the Civil War. Wayne plays John Henry Thomas, a colonel who takes the few remaining men who had enlisted with him to fight for …
ATL (movie)

Blitz (crime drama movie)

Johnny English - Film 2008
Not being a fan of either Rowan Atkinson (who plays Johnny English) nor a fan of James Bond, it often surprises me that this DVD version of the film is in my collection at all. Every so often when the mood is right it is taken out and …
Superman the Third
Certain elements seem to indicate when a movie franchise has lost its steam and either needs to be retired, or re-evaluated. Unfortunately, with the Superman movie franchise, these elements were ignored until it was too late. Superman III clearly marked these elements. The stars were tired, their performances forced …
Henry and June movie
“Henry and June” was the name of a movie which was released in the nineteen nineties. When I first got cable television I used to see the movie going on regularly especially in the summer; however I didn’t pay much attention to it since I thought that it would …
Baby Mama
I was a little wary of seeing the movie “Baby Mama.” Its rated PG-13, first of all, and I’ve noticed that most PG-13 movies these days are geared towards the youngsters who are limited to that rating. Second of all, the topic itself… the concept of a hopeful mother …
Carlin on Campus
I had never seen the comedy show Carlin on Campus (featuring George Carlin) before. So, when I came across a repeat of it on one of the cable networks last night I figured I would take the time to watch it.
