Beverly Hills Chihuahua movie

High Anxiety Movie
Our youngest daughter took a late nap yesterday evening and, as a result, didn’t want to go to bed at her usual hour.
Rather than fight her, I decided to stay up with her and got some movie watching in at the same time.
Last night was the first time I …

Taken from the pages of the comic strip and the TV series, this live action movie has won me over. Richie Rich is the richest child in the world who has any and everything that he wants or needs. The only problem to that situation is that he is …
Miracle on Ice
I do not like hockey; I just don’t. It’s violent; besides, who can follow that puck around the ice? Still, during the 1980 Winter Olympics, I found myself watching a few of the hockey games. The reason was the phenomenal run to the gold that the …

The Movie Dinner for Schmucks
When I saw the previews for “Dinner For Shmucks” I was really excited. The previews had me laughing so hard so I thought that because the previews were funny then the movie must be funny. However, after paying to see this movie I have to say that …
Julie and Julia
I wasn’t prepared to like Julie and Julia when I rented it on DVD; although I enjoy Nora Ephron’s writing, whether it is books or screenplays, I just didn’t think a movie about the famed cook Julia Child would be that interesting. Despite the fact that she remains one of …

Sherry Baby
“Sherry Baby” is a movie with a great message to send back home about ex-women convicts. Although the interpretation of Maggie Gyllenhaal in the main role is excellent, this movie has a weak script and the story moves on a very slow pace.
This movie is about a woman Sherry …

Rat Race Movie
What can be said about Rat Race other than very hilarious. It had to be with actors/actresses like John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Lovitz, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Seth Green. What is with the men in the board-room, they seem to bet on any and everything…I guess …

Doghouse Movie
The undead, infected, and zombies have been in every independent horror, comedy, and even action movie as of late. If you have a laughable budget then it must be written somewhere that you have to make a movie like this. At least Doghouse takes the trendy concept and adds …
Inglourious Basterds
I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino, with a caveat-I enjoy the action and dialogue of his movies, but I sometimes find that some of the violence is so gratuitous, that it doesn’t seem reasonable, and therefore, my enjoyment of the movie is less. I am not opposed to …

Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)

The plot centers around Chelsea, Mike, Allison, and Derrick who …
Inside Out (R, 2005) movie

Transformers
If you’re a child of the eighties like me, then you probably remember some cool cartoons. Not the snoopy’s and the garfield’s and stuff like that, but the more action laden cartoons like Voltron and Transformers. True to Hollywood form, they’ve taken everything you can think of and turned …

Zor (movie), 1998

Happy Feet

Mirrors movie
I’m not a huge Keifer Sutherland fan so I wasn’t sure what to expect when my wife brought home the horror film Mirrors this past weekend.
Actually, to be fair, my doubts really had little to do with Sutherland. I just figured, reading the package, this was going to be …
My Neighbors the Yamadas
A film about the life of an ordinary family in Tokyo, anime style.
The film was directed by Isao Takahata, well known around the world for his Grave of the Fireflies. The difference between Takahata and Miyazaki for example is very big. Takahata’s films are based in the real world, …
Avatar 3D
James Cameron’s new mega hollywood blockbuster Avatar is one of those movies you just have to watch. Whether or not you like the genre, any project costing hundreds of millions of dollars is in my mind something to look out for.
