Netflix
I’ve been a member of Netflix for a little over a year. I am on the 3-at-a-time package for about $18 a month, and it seems to be the right one for me. I love getting movies in the mail and being able to watch them instantly. If I …
Looney Toons: Back in Action- the movie
I sometimes enjoy watching children’s movies, especially when they have some wittiness and humor aimed at adults. Looney Toons: Back in Actio was a really fun movie, and appropriate for both children and adults. The movie featured Looney Toons characters such as Yosemite Sam, the Tazmanian Devil, Marvin the …

The Long Weekend

Black Sheep 2008 Movie
I recently saw the movie Black Sheep and I don’t mean the Chris Farley and David Spade movie from the 1990s, though I’m sure someone will see this one and get confused. This movie is actually yet another horror movie spoof, though this one was better received than a …
Walk the Line movie
I can honestly say that I have watched “Walk the Line” on several occasions, probably more than my husband cares to count. I have always liked movies based on the lives of real people and “Walk the Line” is based on the life of late country singer Johnny …

The 5th Wave (2016 Science Fiction Thriller Movie)
I spent a long time wondering what happened to the actor Tobey Maguire since I didn’t see him in any movies or TV series in a long time. Therefore, when I heard that he was producing a movie The 5th Wave I was eager to see it. I became even …
Club Paradise movie
There are some comedies out there that will invest in well-known actors and actresses to sell the movie only to wind up being a disappointment when they aren’t talented enough to sell a weak script.
This was the case with the movie Club Paradise.
To be fair, Robin Williams has never …
Bad News Bears movie
When I was growing up, the Bad News Bears movies were very popular. So, when the remake came out staring Billy Bob Thorton, I was skeptical.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie

It turns out it was …
Naruto Episode 14 Subbed
Despite some of the earlier episodes that had a lot of flashbacks, this episode managed to be quite interesting. The main character is back in the action, none too soon in my personal opinion, but of course this does not amount to any interesting action. In fact, Naruto’s entrance …

Strawberry Shortcake: Adventures on Ice Cream Island
OK, prior to having a daughter, I didn’t even know Strawberry Shortcake had a cartoon series; let along episodes on DVD. However, I will admit Adventures on Ice Cream Island is a decent DVD to rent if you want your daughter to be occupied for about 45 minutes.

ConAir (1997)
This movie, though with some violent scenes, for me, is one of my ‘feel good movies’ I can brag about having seen. The good guys in this movie, Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage) and US Marshall Vince Larkin (John Cusack) did a very good job. I am also very …

Movie: “Mindhunters”
I can’t recommend “Mindhunters” passionately enough: it’s so much more than just action; it’s a deep psychological thriller that will have you guessing at every turn.
Rather than just introducing mindless FBI drones, the movie presents a cast of rich characters, all with their own strengths and frailties. They are …
Halloween
I absolutely hate the new “Halloween,” this crude, obscene, bloody, gory, stupid, disgusting slasher. I have not seen the original version made sometime in the 70s, but from what I hear, it did not have all the sliced up bodies on screen; this one does, and seems to relish …
