Colossal (2017 Sci-Fi Comedy Film)
Very few movies get you to unexpected places. Most of the time the movie starts and 5 minutes in you know where it is taking you. Perhaps one of the biggest problems of blockbuster filmmaking is that everyone is running out of ideas, immediately sticking to a single genre that …
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 …

Family Guy : Blue Harvest
Being a Star Wars fan and a Family Guy, after hearing that Blue Harvest came out, I immediately rushed to the store and bought it.

A thriller in an 1940s environment where Denzel Washington plays a freelancing detective with a constant bad luck.

The Founder, movie (2016)
Most of all, I like movies about how a business is created. That’s why I watched the movie The Founder with great interest. It seems that everyone knows the story of the great McDonald’s. Who Ray Kroc is and what year he met the McDonald brothers. Suddenly, it’s only a …
Boogie-Woogie Dream movie short
The magic of Boogie-Woogie Dream, a 1944 movie short, comes in the form of newcomer, Lena Horne. She is the centerpiece and she’s worthy of the honor, too.
What I wish is that I had seen some of these films with Horne before now. When the singer and …

Movie Labyrinth (1986)
In my opinion, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth is one of the best animated films of all time. David Bowie’s character of Jareth, the goblin king, is probably my most beloved of all movie characters. At the beginning of the movie, I found him frightening, but as it moved along, I …

The Prestige (PG-13, 2006) movie
This was an interesting movie. Not quite what I expected. But since I love Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman–so that in and of itself warranted a viewing. However, this is a story that is relayed with care and precision. But I will admit that certain …

The Prince & Me

Reality Bites reminded me quite a bit of The Blair Witch Project. Now that makes me smile because The Blair Witch Project hooked me from the start and made me think the movie was real. Reality Bites, on the other hand, did not make me think the same thing, …

Deck the Halls
Ok, for the record, it’s a bit too early in the year for Christmas movies. For God’s sake, it isn’t even Thanksgiving yet. But, at least the Christmas movie I came across tonight, Deck the Halls, is funny.

17 Again movie
I highly anticipated the comedy “17 Again”; I’m not a huge Zac Efron fan, but the movie looked cute. Unfortunately, it didn’t deliver.
