Gidget Goes Hawaiian movie
Two years after Sandra Dee captured the world as the girl midget known as Gidget, the character was back in Gidget Goes Hawaiian. Now honestly, this one is probably my favorite. There’s something about the storyline that I really loved. I don’t know if technically it’s …
Rush - Movie
After the extraordinary success of “Rocky” sports movies almost invariably follow the stereotypical formula, with slight variations, determined by the taste of the author. In “Rush” opportunities for freely creative imagination are relatively limited as it recreates real events related to real people .
The 70s. The phones have …
“8 Mile” (2002 Film)
While Eminem and Brittney Murphy, along with Mikai Phiffer are very talented, I have to wonder if the movie they starred in, “8 Mile” which was featured in theaters in 2002, was really a film worth watching. The film itself I believe was trying to do something positive …
I Robot

Wax Mask movie
An italian horror film that was included in a Dario Argento dvd box I got ahold of recently. The strange thing is that Argento did not direct this, so did another man named Sergio Stivaletti.
The film is set in France in the early 20th century. People are getting killed …
Airplane 2 movie
I absolutely loved the first Airplane movie and was excited when I rented the sequel to it. I wasn’t disappointed.

The first category is “so bad it’s awesome” these are movies that you know stink to high heaven, but you can laugh at the badness. A lot of the movies …
Dead Silence (R, 2007) movie
“Dead Silence” looks like it’s going to be corny and slow-moving. In some parts it certainly is. The plot revolves around the old legend of Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who had her tongue cut out by townspeople. Of course her ghost comes back and takes revenge. …

Notting Hill,1999 movie
Notting Hill tells a rather unlikely yet pleasant love story of Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) a movie star and William Thacker (Hugh Grant), a modest guy who works in a bookstore. I enjoyed this movie. Grand is very likeable as the good-hearted, honest William. Julia Roberts does a good …

I’ve enjoyed every Hunger Games movie that’s released thus far. I enjoy the franchise so much that I even read the books. When I went to watch The Hunger Games Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014) in theatres, I hoped that this movie would live up to my expectations. I …
Film Watchmen
I saw ‘Watchmen’ at a local IMAX theatre and the film really scores a 100% rating for presentation. It’s slick, glossy and packed with imaginative set pieces and special effects. The story on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. I never read the graphic novel by …
Daffy Duck’s Movie: Fantastic Island
I was looking for movies my oldest daughter could watch on our Netflix player and came across an older one “Daffy Duck’s Movie: Fantastic Island.”

Blair Witch Project 2 (Movie)
Blair Witch Project 2 is a movie that I like because of Jeffery Donovan, but that’s about it. I had seen the movie a long time ago when it was still in the theater, and thought it was so-so. At least it’s better than the first movie. It picks …

Enron
If you are like me, the story of Enron and its executives were just little snipets of information you heard on the evening news. Yes, someplace out in Texas many people were losing their jobs, but it didn’t touch me personally, so why should I pay attention?
However, after …
Haunted Honeymoon
Featuring the comedic talents of Gene Wilder, Dom DeLuise, and Gilda Radner, this isn’t a film you want to have missed, if you like funny. This is an older film, made around 20 years ago or so, in 1986. But, it’s still worth looking for, and/or watching …

Movie Gamer
I don’t even remember how and why I started watching this movie. We were there at the cinema and just chose that movie without thinking too much.
It was one of those movies that don’t leave any special impression on you. It is about this society where everyone lives as …
Beyond the Grave movie
I am reviewing the movie, Beyond the Grave, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Barnaby and Sergeant Troy. This movie was made in 2000, was produced by Brian-True-May, and is based off the novel written by Caroline Graham.
In this film, the setting takes place, a majority …

I watched the movie “Vamps” last night for the first time and I thought that it was one of the most interesting vampire movies that I’ve watched in a very long time. The funny thing was that I’ve never heard of the movie before last night, which is a …
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Ice Age may be an animation, but even adults dig it. The cute graphic, funny plot, witty conversations do not just attract kids but their parents, older brothers and sisters as well.
Yes, the story may be silly, but really, who needs brains when watching animation? We all know …
This Christmas movie
I really wish African American films would get better than this. This film was such a rip-off of “Soul Food” that it is not even funny. The sisters fighting the youngest one dating an “intelligent thug”, legal troubles, selling Big Mama/Ma’Dere’s property the list just …
Movie Love Wrecked
I honestly love watching Amanda Bynes movies, however “Love Wrecked” must be her worst movie since the story is not credible at all.
In “Love Wrecked” we see Amanda Bynes interpret the role of Jenny Riley who is totally crazy about a famous and popular rock star, Jason Master. …

Movie The Ruins
I was quite disturbed by watching the movie, The Ruins. It is a gore story and in fact, filled with too much gore that made the story loses its plot, personally to me. Honestly speaking, I think this story makes Jeepers Creepers seem like nothingness. But …
Ghoulies movie
My wife and I were feeling a bit nostalgic this past weekend and picked up the movie Ghoulies to watch. We both remember watching this movie as kids but couldn’t remember much from it (other than the one popping out of the toilet) and figured it would be worth …

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The term “childhood rape” is thrown around a lot nowadays. It seems like every movie now in some way, shape, or form rapes somebody’s childhood. People threw it around when Bay’s “Transformers” came around or when Lucas made the prequel trilogy. I myself felt the epitomy …

Confessions of a Shopaholic
—˜Confessions of a Shopaholic’ is a great movie for us women. I believe that many women have —˜shopaholic’ moments where we buy all kind of things and end up not using most of them like the main character of this movie interpreted by Isla Fisher.
The first thing that really …
Transformers Animated Series - Jazz Action Figure
Jazz is definitely one of the best action figures in the Transformers Animated Series toy line! He is equally awesome in robot mode and car mode, and he retains enough of his look from the original series that you recognize him as Jazz. However, his figure is …
