Movie “Salt” (2010)
I was excited to see this film because the previews looked fun. A female James Bond who may or may not be a double agent and it stars Angelina Jolie. How great does that sound? Well the movie had a great premise but the end …
Friday the 13th Part 8
I realize that most people think this is the worst film in the entire series of Friday the 13th movies, but I actually did like it. I think what I liked the most was that it almost feels as if the producers know people will think it’s cheesy so …
After Dark Horror Fest: Crazy Eights
Crazy Eights is this weird little movie that I’m still not too sure about. I bought it because I had seen almost every other movie in the 2007 After Dark Horror Series except for this one. Looking at the back of the box and seeing the actors in the …

The Pelican Brief thriller
I usually don’t like political thrillers, but I found the Pelican Brief to be a thought-invoking and fantastic film. It’s one I would watch over again.

Film Family Plot
Alfred Hitchcock’s final film, Family Plot is a gentle little final film for one of cinema’s greatest filmmaker’s ever. It is thrilling but it is not one of his trips into the world of stark horror that he delved into with Psycho or the Birds.
And this suits him just …
The Thin Red Line movie
A war story by the poetic filmmaker Terrence Malick. He created the visually stunning films Days of Heaven and Badlands back in the 1970s, then he didn’t make a film until his come back with this film more than 20 years later. I don’t think it is as engaging …
Jumper (movie)
My fiance and I just got back from this movie. It was awful. Do not waste your time! The action scenes were dull, what ones there were. Annette Benning, I believe that’s her name, only has like two minutes in the film, which is disappointing because she’s such a …
Jarhead movie
It’s not often that I will find a movie so horrible I have to turn it off before I even get halfway through it. This is especially true of war movies. However, Jarhead became one of those films.
When I read the description of the movie and saw the previews, …
Ingmar Bergman’s “The Seventh Seal” movie

Burn After Reading
Burn after reading is a 2008 movie of the Coen brothers. I had great expectations but I must say, right here at the beginning, and I got disappointed. First of all when I saw the list of actors; George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt and the rest …
Strike Commando, movie (1987)
Italian films of the early 70’s to late 80’s had a reputation of knocking off American hit films. Despite the low budgets, the films had a charming quality about them. Director Bruno Mattei was one of a number of directors to make a career of delivering the …
Never Back Down
With the current and ever-rising mainstream popularity of mixed martial arts, I am not at all surprised to see movies using MMA in their plot lines.
I only wish they would do a better job of it! Maybe use better actors instead of relying on “pretty”.
Never Back Down focuses …
The Family That Preys movie (2008)

The question is: “Could a film reproduce the atmosphere of the king of horror videogames?”
According to Andersson, the Film Director, …
Discovering the real world of Harry Potter
I felt a little silly when I first began to read the harry Potter books. These are books for children I told myself so why did I find it so entertaining. I’ve read other books for children since I became an adult of course, but those had already moved …

I haven’t seen the movie Space Cowboys since my wife and I saw it years ago on one of our first dates together (we can’t remember if it was the first or second movie we ever saw together). So, when it came on a couple nights ago, I figured …

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (PG-13, 2008)
This was absolutely one of the best films that I have ever seen. I now understand why there was such hype when the Oscar rolled around. In any case, I really feel that Brad Pitt has his finger on the pulse of quality acting. When I …
Birdman, movie (2014)
Yesterday I saw the movie Birdman. Those who expect it to be another action film with superheroes or, on the contrary, a monotonous story about the main character’s crisis with an emphasis on art house, existential experiences with a hidden meaning will be disappointed.
A film with its own twist, …

Employee of the Month, movie
Dane Cook’s first time out as a leading man left me laughing, but not so much at the movie, as at myself. I found this movie to hit all of the right marks for laughter but couldn’t being myself to admit that it was anything more than a poor …
Flushed Away
I enjoyed this movie for its settings more than anything else. It is an interesting concept to view the surface world above as �up there�, and to have an entire city, Ratopolis, below, loosely resembling London. The film primarily reminded me of Romancing the Stone. The female lead, Rita, …
Noble House Movie
The highest leader of a trading company called Noble House, called a Tai-Pan, is going through a difficult time as his worst enemy on the trading market does everything he can the bring the Noble House down forever. A very exciting and well acted feature with Pierce Brosnan among …

Vanished (movie)
If you�re a big fan of the television show Cold Case, then you may want to consider renting the movie Vanished if you haven�t seen it yet.

This …
The Dark Knight
Last evening I watched “The Dark Knight”. I had of course heard all of the hype regarding the movie.
Christian Bale was an interesting choice for this part. He did a better job as Batman than I thought he would. But I actually thought Michael Keaton made a …
Elf Will Ferrell
This is a definite must have anytime you need a quick pick me up. Will Ferrell was so hilarious in this movie. I could not stop laughing so hard the entire time. His entire outfit was enough to get you started. I loved his naive point of view of …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I picked up the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a movie that I figured would be halfway entertaining but would lack when compared to other X-Men films. It turns out it was one of the better movies I’ve seen.

27 dresses (movie)
We went to the movies last night and saw an adorable film called the 27 Dresses.
This one starred Katherine Heigl and James Marsden, I believe these two fine young actors are going to be the next Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan duo. They mesh that well together.
Anyway …
