National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
My wife and I ended up watching some Christmas movies the other day, including National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation; a movie that apparently has been out for 20 years now (making me feel old considering I remember it being at the theater).
Of the other Lampoon’s Vacation movies, this one is …

Bad News Bears Movie

The Equalizer (2014 Film)
The Equalizer is an Action film I had the opportunity to view. I was lead to go see it after viewing a trailer for it one evening. As with many of the trailers on TV, I was intrigued almost instantly. I am not the biggest fan of Denzel Washington, …
House Guest movie
“House Guest” was a movie I watched some years ago in my earlier years of high school. I can remember thinking at that time how I could have missed such a movie and wondering whether I should watch it or not since I had never found the African American …
Enchanted
I have heard mixed reviews about Enchanted around the web, so I decided to add my two cents. I thought this was a beautiful movie. It includes all the romanticism a Disney “princess” movie should, while adding the real life element to set it apart, and including references to …
Star Trek 2009
I just watched the new Star Trek film last night and was blown away at how good it really was. I am a Star Trek fan, although not of the hardcore trekkie variety, and I was a bit scepticle at first about the franchise being rebooted with an all …
A Beautiful Mind (drama movie)
I’ve always heard good things about the movie “A Beautiful Mind” over the years, but I never actually got a chance to see it until recently. My expectations were very high before seeing it, and to be completely honest there was nothing about it that I wasn’t satisfied with. I …

Raiders of the Lost Ark
This is quite simply my favorite movie of all time, and that is saying a lot considering how many movies I have seen. This is one of the few films that I personally think is flawless. Indiana Jones is the best character to ever hit the big …
Can I do It Till I Need Glasses (movie)
I do not exactly remember where I saw the film “Can I do It—¦Till I Need Glasses” anymore, but I do know that the reason why I paid it any attention in the first place is because I was told that the film starred a young robin Williams. Nevertheless, …
Mickey Blue Eyes
I think I must have watched “Mickey Blue Eyes” endless times and I still keep watching it. What I like about it most is that it presents a very different perspective on how to portrait the mafia on the big screen. One can have no difficulty believing the mafia …
Aquamarine movie
When I first saw the movie Aquamarine being advertised to be released in theatres I was eager to see it since it looked like a very cute children’s movie which even I might be interested in seeing. When I watched it I wasn’t disappointed either since I didn’t think …
Cleaner, thriller film
Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, and Eva Mendes make up a stellar cast that didn’t make it too big in theaters. Cleaner feels a lot like an episode of CSI, a television show that has millions of viewers each and every week. With its CSI qualities there is more …
Netflix

Thor the movie
The movie Thor was a very interesting movie. The characters were well thought out. Something surprising about this movie was that it was very funny and not too dramatic. My favorite character was the scientist’s assistant Darcy, she had a good sense of humor and kept things light when …
Pretty in Pink movie
The movie “Pretty in Pink” was possibly one of the most popular movies of the 20th century, as well as one of the most popular teenage movies of all times. It is so popular it has a cult following, and it was also one of the movies which helped …
Scary Movie 4
I thought that Scary Movie 4 would be another foolish kind of slapstick movie but when I watched, I was really so laughing like crazy with my bunch of friends.
It was so, so funny and the fact that the Director and writers had come out with such a …
The Witch (2016 Horror Film)
I rarely, rarely watch horror films. In fact I can’t recall the last time I watch a horror film alone. I just don’t see any point at all watching something that just do nothing but make you feel afraid and scared and get away with it.
At 19 I must admit …
American Beauty movie

Flight Movie
I already knew that Denzel Washington was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for this film before I watched it. Thus, I was expecting this film to be somehow good. I thought it was some aviation disaster film or a terrorist-inspired aviation film. However, the movie was …
Must Love Dogs. A Movie
I recently bought the movie “Must Love Dogs” from Big Lots for only three dollars and I really thought it was cute. I had never seen it before and my thought was that for only three dollars if it was bad than I could just throw it away. …

“Day of the Dead” (2008) Film
“Day of the Dead” (2008) is something of a remake of the original film by the same name. It’s directed by Steve Miner, who has such credits under his directorial belt as 1999’s “Lake Placid.” That should have been my first hint, though I didn’t pay attention to the …
Pulp Fiction movie
When Pulp Fiction was released, I had not seen a good movie like this in a while. Pulp Fiction held my attention from the moment the movie started and I waited with my breath held to see what would happen next until the end of the movie. John Travolta …
Don’t Mess with Zohan
After having his last movie “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” blasted by criticism, the actor Adam Sandler had to come up with a good movie. This answer is in his last movie “Don’t Mess with Zohan” which on the whole seems to have won over the critics …
Movie Nuts
Nuts has too much profanity in it for my taste, but otherwise, Nuts is a wonderful movie. Never assume because your assumptions may be all wrong. People wanted to judge Claudia Draper, a woman accused of murder. She was a high priced call girl, and that’s …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I haven’t seen many impressive movies on TV lately, so ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ was a real revelation to me. The first thing I liked about it was that it hadn’t been dubbed in English, so I could listen to the characters speaking in their native tongue (Spanish), which carried me …
Before Sunset movie
Nine years after the success movie of “Before Sunrise”, the actors Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy meet up together to work on “Before Sunset” which only took 15 days shooting. No doubt there are very few sequels which one can say that they are great and “Before Sunset” is …

The Langoliers movie
As a young child, one of my scariest memories was made as a result of watching the movie “The Langoliers” one night. I was not able to get the images of giant meatball-like creatures with moving razor sharp teeth out of my head, and often had dreams about them. …
Springtime in the Rockies movie
Springtime in the Rockies from 1937 is a movie I have heard about for a very long time, but believe it or not, even with its marvelous song, I have never seen it, until now.
The song that is sung at the beginning is awesome. I love the harmony …
Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement
There will many who brand Alex Jones, the Austin based documentary filmmaker, radio and tv host as a conspiracy nut. Heck, I would have done so not too terribly long ago. However, after seeing many of his films I have begun to see that there is a …
DVD: Girl with a Pearl Earring
I recently watched the DVD of “Girl with a Pearl Earring” (2003). Directed by Peter Webber, who recently directed “Hannibal Rising”, the movie tells the story of a young woman, a girl really who served as the model for the famous Vermeer painting of the same name.
Scarlett Johansson …

The Invisible Movie
The Invisible is a movie that I recently picked up and was fairly surprised to find that I liked it, at least more than I thought I would. This is another one of those straight to DVD releases, but unlike other movies this one has some spectacular acting and …
Thunderball
How many James Bond movies are there now? Like five hundred, six hundred, seven thousand and seventy two? I know there are a whole lot, and probably a whole lot more to come. I admit, I haven’t seen very many James Bond movies. Some of the ones I have …
Film Coraline
I have just watched the film Coraline and I must say it was quite charming. If you have seen the trailer, this movie may seem as if it is intended for just a younger audience, but that is not the case. While it does a good job at …
Click Movie review
I went to theatre to watch a comedy movie and ended up choosing The movie “CLICK.”Though this movie is a comedy ,the second half becomes like a drama. Adam Sandler’s acting seems to be funny.It looks more like a real life rather tthan a movie.He is able …
