Movie: The Ruins
When I think of The Ruins the words for decription that come to mind is unexpected surprise. Although I’m a huge fan of horror films, creature features are not the ones I enjoy the most. I don’t even remember why I put this on my netflix queue …
Circus of Fear movie
The movie “Circus of Fear” is one of the actor Christopher Lee’s older movies. At first I got the impression from the title that it was going to be a horror film, but, instead it turned out to be more of a mystery/suspense film. Personally, even though the …
John Carpenter’s “Cigarette Burns” film
“Cigarette Burns” is a short film by John Carpenter created for the Showtime series “Masters of Horror.” The movie stars Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead, Boondock Saints) as Kirby, a small theater owner with money problems, who is paid to track down a rare horror film that has …
Ehit
Ehit is a online site that allows you to rent movies through the mail just like netflix and blockbuster does. They have a free trial that you can try out the service. They send you two movies in one envelope. I think the cheapest price that they offer is …
The Descent movie
Neil Marshall may have amassed a cult following with his previous horror effort “Dog Soldiers”, but with The Descent, he really hits his stride as a horror maestro in the makings.
Unlike his testosterone drenched werewolf vs. soldier movie, this time Marshall instead goes the all girl route; offering …
Ray Alexander: A Menu for Murder movie
Ray Alexander: A Menu for Murder was the second movie made with these characters. As a sleuthing private eye concept, it really wasn’t bad. I saw that because like the first movie, I didn’t have the urge to change the channel. It was an okay backdrop …
Bus 174
Bus 174 is a movie that I really enjoyed watching with my sister and brother. We love watching hostages movie scenario, but felt that to happen in real life would be devastating. But I love watching how the characters blend and try to escape, something like that. …
Prom Night (2008), slasher film
There is nothing as scary as J.S. Cardone’s remake of the classic 1980 horror film, Prom Night. A modern scary film that advertised itself as one of the best remakes of our time is about as dull as your real prom. Can the unrated blu-ray version of this film …
Movie Finding Nemo
A lot of people love the 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo. I’m one of them. Nemo is a stirring story of the love between a father and a son, a relationship that seems to be missing in a lot of movies and television shows. The real …
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011 movie - American version)
Relative newcomer Rooney Mara perfectly inhabits the role of Lisabeth Salander, the namesake character in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” David Fincher’s adaptation of the wildly popular novel and 2009 Swedish movie is a wonderfully-cast atmospheric crime drama that will make even the bold squeamish.
I’m very glad Fincher …
Red Box DVD Rental Kiosk
What initially began appearing inside Giant and Shoppers grocery marts, the “Red Box,” are now emerging in increasing numbers and outside convenient stores, such as the 7-Eleven in walking distance of my home. These tall, red-colored ATM-like DVD rental kiosks provide the customer with an inexpensive and convenient …
Dance Party, USA
This movie I watch with my girl friends. It really questions friendship between the 3 of us, and we were then stumped afterwards. I know that the 3 of us each questions ourselves as to what we think of one another, and whether we have dirty secrets …
Vampire Knight Anime DVD Volume 3
Vampire Knight is a manga and anime series created by Matsuri Hino, and I am a big fan of both. In it, it follows Yuki Cross, Zero Kiryu, and Kaname Kuran as they attend Cross Academy, a private school divided by Day Class (for humans), and the Night …
Return of the Jedi movie
Some call this movie Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, but as I’ve said before, to me, it’s just plain Return of the Jedi. Once commonly thought of as just another sequel, once George Lucas actually wrote his other scripts, it became a rung in …
Cool as Ice film
I am going to review a 1991 film that starred the anglo-saxon rapper Vanilla ice.It is said to be a loose remake of an older film called rebel without a cause.It is about a young biker,Johnny played by Ice who regualry hangs out with a bunch of African american …
Carlin on Campus
I had never seen the comedy show Carlin on Campus (featuring George Carlin) before. So, when I came across a repeat of it on one of the cable networks last night I figured I would take the time to watch it.
Having never seen Carlin’s standup routine before, I understand …
Dahmer
This film, based on the killings of infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dhamer is a complicated film to judge. On one hand, it documents his crimes accurately enough, and for a big screen or small screen adaption of anything of the sort, the facts can be lost in the fiction, …
The Pink Panther (2006)
I understand this is just a remake of a movie that was originally produced in 1963 that starred Peter Sellers as the idiotic but kind hearted Inspector Clouseau.
As I see it, this is another one histerically funny movie that has the character combination of Mr. Bean and Johny English …

Movie Firewall
Firewall with Harrison Ford and Virginia Madsen.
What a crappy movie this was. Harrison Ford looks 100 years old and tries to get by with his trademark angry face. Madsen is chunky and they try to hide her enormous rump. Aside from these main …

Blockbuster Total Access
Blockbuster is a name we all know. We always had a handful of issues with them. Late fees at odd times of the day and the most expensive movie rentals in town. But times have changed and most movie rental places charge too much these days. We had used …

10,000 B.C. (Movie)
My friend really pushed me into watching this movie that honestly I really dreaded to watch. I really felt that it is simply a waste of time to be watching “cavemen” fighting one another and I was really keen on watching some kind of a romantic comedy or some …
It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown movie
Halloween is coming up in about a month and, because of that, I ended up putting a movie on my Netflix list for my daughter “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.”
Sure, I could probably find this movie at any given time on several television stations closer to the holiday. …
The Women movie
When I agreed to take my wife to see the movie “The Women” my first thought was “what have I gotten myself into?” However, after watching it with her, I will admit, it wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be.
While obviously a classic chick flick, I found …
Solar Babies
If you’re looking for a movie to remind you about the worst parts of the 1980s, then you’ll want to rent the science fiction movie Solarbabies.
While the concept behind the movie is a good one, it’s set in the future and water is scarce; something that creates a world …

Cast a Deadly Spell movie
The film takes place in 1948 when apparently magic is used by more or less every human being alive. When a book called “The Necronomicon” is stolen, the only one who doesn’t use magic is called in the retrieve it.
This is undeniably a salute to the horror novels by …
Shrek 3
Dreamworks’ successful Shrek franchise has more or less lived up to its hype with Shrek 1 and 2; Shrek 3, however, seems to fall short of the witty, fairy-tale spoof we have come to love. Although filled with humorous details and comical dialogue, the story is nothing short of …

Requiem For a Dream
This is one of the most powerful and gut wrenching movies I have ever seen. It is brutally honest in its depiction of drug addiction and the effect it has on different people. It shows how drugs are just the tip of the pyramid when it comes …

Exam (movie)
After watching the movie Exam last night, I can’t help thinking that it was one of the best psychological thrillers that I watched in a long while. This was despite the barely above average rating that it had received on its IMDB page. I think that the rating was …
Movie: Jack Frost

At first, …
Barbarian Queen, fantasy film
Most barbarian movies are pretty sweet. No matter how much you tease them or find out every flaw, these movies grab your attention and they never let go until the last person in the credits gets their due. Barbarian Queen does just that and it does something else that …
Boogeyman Movie
Another pitiful attempt in trying to create a horror movie, why do they even bother, it’s clear to see that they don’t have a clue about scaring people. This film is plagued with alot of misdirection or better yet, no direction at all. If this man is supposed to …
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Space Opera Movie (2015)
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a 2 hour 15 minute masterpiece. I watched the movie in IMAX 3D, a format I definitely recommend to anyone that has not watched the movie because the visuals are outstanding. I’m now excited to see how this new Star Wars trilogy will unfold.
