The Rival movie
Once again, I found myself watching a movie on the Lifetime movie network last night and found myself enjoying it.
The film “The Rival” was one that really turned out to be much more interesting than I thought it would. From the previews, I figured it was going to be …
Every Secret Thing (2014 Crime Drama Movie)
Even though the movie “Every Secret Thing” seemed to gain a lot of bad and mediocre reviews on popular sites such as Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB, I have to admit that I still enjoyed it. It was by no means perfect, but I think that there were elements of the …

Motion Picture “Dirty Dancing”
The movie Dirty Dancing was released in 1987. It was such a big hit that someone attempted to make the movie into a tv show the following year. Unfortunately the show was just awful and only lasted a few episodes. I was a kid at the …

Days of being wild movie
The chinese director Wong Kar-Wai is my absolute favorite to appear during the last 20 years. Days of being wild is only his second film ever, made in the early 1990s, but already here he showed his amazing talent with an entirely unique way of putting images together and …
Kissing a fool
I actually chose to watch this movie because the actor David Schwimmer was starring in it. I though I was going to watch just an average movie, however I had a very pleasant surprise since this is a very good movie.
It seems that this movie was one of the …
Panic Room movie
Panic Room is a movie starring Jodie Foster as a mother who hides away in a special room with her daughter. mom and daughter are hiding from burglars and basically have become prisoners in their own home. Now I love Jodie Foster as an actress and I have always …
Without A Clue Movie
This movie creates a funny twist to the famous Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson duo, with Dr. Watson being the mastermind and the genius and Holmes nothing but a fictional character created by him and represented by a hired actor, Reginald Kincaid (Michael Caine). While Kincaid gets all the …
Shoot ‘Em Up
I have seen other reviewers say that the title of this film pretty much says it all: shooting is what it’s all about. I disagree, somewhat. Yes, you will see lots of shooting: on the street, on a plane, in the air, and once in the middle of an …
Homeless To Harvard: The Liz Murray Story
Homeless To Harvard: The Liz Murray Story is beautifully acted by Thora Birch. Liz Murray is a real, live person who was born into an impoverished, drug addicted family and yet this amazing young woman ended up with a full scholarship from The New York Times to attend Harvard. …

The animated movie based in the future of the world tries to enlighten the viewers that discovery of things great and small must be done with extreme caution and due respect for other species and their way of life. This movie shows that the discovery of an alien race …
Cake
I truly love this DVD movie, Cake. If I’m not mistaken, this movie was released during 2004 or 2005 and it starred the very gorgeous Heather Graham.
She played the character of Pippa McGee and she is a very charming and extremely funny lady and I always love …
28 Days Later movie
Okay, they’re not zombies. They’re very much alive human beings infected with a virulent virus that transforms the most soppy and placid person into a homicidal, red eyed lunatic. They’re never referred to as zombies once in the script and the rules of this new movie monster are very …
Jerry Maguire
I watched the movie Jerry Maguire for about the third or fourth time last night and have to say, while a good movie, it could have been much better.
I liked the idea of a movie that focuses on the part of professional sports most films barely even mention; sports …
12 Angry Men (Remake)
In 1997, someone got the not-so-bright idea to recreate a theatrical classic, 12 Angry Men. The problem for me is that the original production was about as near to perfect as you can get. Headed by Henry Fonda and a legendary cast, this film was dramatic and …
That Old Feeling (1997 Film)
A movie that combines love, growth, realization of the importance of life and a large dose of comedy from a dynamic cast including Bette Midler, is not a movie I would want to pass up. Nor would I think anyone else would either. The 1997 film “That Old Feeling” …
Apocalypto : Movie
Apocalypto is a movie directed by Mel Gibson. It was released soon after the scandal that occurred when Mel Gibson was pulled over for drunk driving and went on a tirade against Jewish people. For this reason, many people didn’t see the movie when it came out …
Disney’s The Fox and the Hound (1981)
Just to prove that I really am over 50, I own Disney’s “The Fox and the Hound” on a VHS tape! I play it at least once a week because it’s so cute, but not more often than that because I don’t want to wear out the tape.
The …
Taken: Movie
Taken is one of the best movies that I saw last year, and certainly one of my favourites of the thriller genre.
The plot of a kidnapping or of a heroic dad rescuing his daughter is nothing new, but the script really makes it into something special.
I thought that the …
Movie : World of Silence
World of Silence is another suspense/horror/drama film from the land of South Korea. This one is a favorite of mine and I am really glad I watched it. While it wasn’t at all what I was expecting to see, I am glad that it was completely different. …
Star Trek Nemesis
I was home sick yesterday and found myself watching Star Trek Nemesis for the first time in several years.
I has been a long time since I last saw the movie so I had no memory of what it was about. And, compared to other Star Trek movies, I think …
Silent Hill (R-2006)- movie
As usual, I got sucked into seeing this movie since I’m such a huge fan of horror. The trailers looked intriguing (as they always do). But upon reading about this movie, I realized that it is based off of a video game. This could have made …
The Glass Menagerie movie
WHen I was in high school I used to hear some adults as well as English teachers talking about the time when the book “The Glass Menagerie” used to be a literature book which students had to read in order to pass one of their exams. Out of curiosity, …

House of Usher movie 2008
I rented this movie as a fan of the horror genre and also an interest in Edgar Allen Poe. It turned out that I did not read the description as carefully as perhaps I should have, but what took place was entertaining none the less. This movie …
Movie: “Stephen King’s It” (1990)
Having read the book multiple times, I was horribly disappointed with the two-part miniseries “It”, aired in 1990 on ABC. There was so much left out; I can’t believe Mr. King even allowed it to be produced.
The plot of the mini-series only loosely follows the plot of the original …
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)
I have to admit that I’ve had a secret love of Alvin and the Chipmunks since I was a kid. When the movie first came out last year, I was the only one of my friends and family members who could actually sing all the words to their songs …
Movie: Fingerprints
When my wife picked out the movie Fingerprints off our Netflix instant watch queue last night, I honestly wasn’t expecting a whole lot from the movie. After all, most of the so-called horror films out there are nothing more than soft-core porn in disguise or think extra blood and …

Surf’s Up (2007) movie
One of the best animation movies of all time, and certainly the best from Sony Animation, Surf’s Up was funny, clever, and perfectly edited. The voices matched the characters brilliantly, and the characters themselves were a hilariously mixed and matched. Some of the dialog was truly inspired, …
Corpse Bride (2005)

Incredible Hulk
The Incredible Hulk represents a vast improvement over Ang Lee’s 2003 effort that disappointed Hulk fans across the world with its drab storyline and bland characters. Conversely, the Incredible Hulk (2008) provides the viewer with everything you would expect from a summmer “popcorn movie”, including lots of …
Poltergeist (2015 supernatural horror movie)
In my experience remakes, like sequels don’t always turn out very well. That is why I wasn’t exactly rushing to see it once I found out that the 2015 remake of the popular 1982 supernatural horror movie Poltergeist. However, I found myself singing a different tune once another horror movie …
Dream Girls
Maybe it’s because I’m watching it on cable before 8 in the morning, but the movie Dream Girls just isn’t as good as I expected it to be.
I would think a movie about a 60s female singing group would make a great musical to watch. But, for the most …
Machete (2010 film)
I want to preface this review by saying that this is one of my favorite movies because it embraces what it is. It is an action movie that focuses primarily on the action. This is the type of movie that you watch solely for entertainment value. It is not …
Rear Window movie
Rear Window is a must-see for all Hitchcock fans. Jimmy Stewart place a photographer who broke his leg and is confined to a wheelchair in his apartment. He has a perfect view onto the apartments on the other side of the yard from his window, and is able to …
Jeepers Creepers 2 Movie
If I have said it once, I’ve said it too many times…some movies really don’t need a sequel and Jeepers Creepers is one such movie. Ok, I get the fact that every twenty third spring for twenty three days it gets to eat…but come on, if the creature has …
