Underworld: Awakening Movie (aka Underworld 4) (2012)
I watched the new Underworld: Awakening(Underworld 4) movie in 3D, and I must say that I was extremely impressed. I’ve watched the entire series and loved them all, except for the third one, which I found to be quite boring and unnecessary to the story line. I …

Movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
My wife and I recently watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (I will refer to the movie as “Caspian”). I enjoyed the movie, but it was not as entertaining or complex as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.

Happily N’ever After DVD
We just bought this on DVD. It looked kind of funny, but I honestly wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised.
George Carlin, Sigourney Weaver, Andy Dick, Freddie Prince Jr. and others lend their voices to the cast. Which, by the way, really was beautifully cast!
The animation …

Peace, Love and Misunderstanding (comedy drama)
While I do like some independent drama films, I didn’t think I would enjoy this one based on the description that I had seen of it. My impression was that it would probably be too boring for me to enjoy or I wouldn’t be able to relate at all. However, …
Movie : The Uninvited (2009)
The Uninvited is yet another film in a long line of Hollywood remakes that were originally Japanese horror movies. A lot of these remakes have received a bad rap in the past but apart from a couple, in general I really enjoy them.
The pacing of this movie is …

Ok. Why does it some like most movies nowadays focus on destroying the world? Well, Resident Evil Extinction presents a barren wasteland of a world, taking place mostly in the desert and Las Vegas. Alice does mildly explain the bare bones …
Till the Clouds Roll By movie
Till the Clouds Roll By is a highly fictionalized account of the life and career of composer Jerome Kern. The sad part of this is that Kern was apparently willing to provide information for this movie, but he died before it even went into production. Thus, because …

Grindhouse
Grindhouse had to be one of the most disappointing movies I have ever witnessed. This is not because the film was awful, just that it was (for lack of a better word) a firmly average film that did not really offer anything new to the horror genre. The idea …
The Franchise Collection Riddick Trilogy
One of the great things to come out of DVD marketing in recent years is the the franchise collection, collecting numerous movies in a particular franchise and offering them all in one box at a cheap price. For example we have here the Riddick Trilogy, which provides us …

The Dark Knight Movie
Thought provoking, stylistic, and entertaining all highlight the 2008 blocbuster The Dark Knight. This film not only provided the audience members with an action fest, it offered some heavy philosophical talking points long after the credits roled. How do you defeat an …
Flight of the Navigator movie
I haven’t seen Flight of the Navigator in a while but it still sticks in my mind as one of the better family-oriented science fiction films I’ve ever seen.

Columbo: Murder in Malibu movie
Directed by Walter Grauman (had to mention that because I met him once), Columbo: Murder in Malibu was one of the 1990 Columbo movies. This one featured Andrew Stevens as the two-timing Wayne Jennings. He’s loved by the ladies, but he’s not really a nice guy.
Janet Margolin …
Dark Ride (R, 2006)
Again, we have yet another slasher film that attempts to “defy” stereotypes that have existed in the past. Ok, well—perhaps the writers and directors weren’t really trying to defy anything. In fact, this type of movie has been done over and over and over and …

The Librarian: Quest for the Spear
Some time ago, I heard about the movie “The Librarian” and didn’t think much of it. I figured, at most, it would be a rip off of Indiana Jones and, without the great special effects and the star power of Harrison Ford, would prove to be lame.
I ended up …
Monster House movie
They certainly make some weird movies these days… A dead woman?s spirit possesses a house; the house comes alive on Halloween, with its windows serving as eyes, door as mouth, and a long red carpet as tongue. It swallows people, especially kids. The woman, you see, was morbidly obese, …
