When I saw this movie being released in 2007 I was interested in seeing it in the theatres since I used to watch the animated television series “The Simpsons” when I was younger. I also wanted to go and see it because it was being promoted a lot and …
Walk the Line
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon do a phenomenal job portraying Johhny Cash and June Carter. They even did their own singing, as I found out, which is impressive. They do a fantastic job with everything in this film.
Upon watching the commentary, I was pleased to discover that …
The Curse of the Wear Rabbit
The Curse of The Wear Rabbit seem to amaze me when it comes to special effects. I like how they made the clays to move in the scenes as if they were real. I like how they made the clay models seem to be living. I also like how …

Before Paul Mooney decided to strike the “N” word from his personal (and professional) vocabulary in 2006, he released a DVD called “Know Your History.” Mooney is known for being extremely controversial, as much of his routines revolve around race relations. In “Know Your History”, he addresses …

Nicholas Cage
Nicholas Cage is my all time favorite movie star. The first time I realized this was when I watched The Rock filmed in 1996. His accent alone captures my attention. It is that slow Californian voice that sounds so cool to me. When I first …

The first thing I thought when I saw this movie advertising was that the movie looked like it was going to be unusual, but not necessarily funny. When I actually got to watch it though, I realised how right I was, as I never laughed one time throughout the …
Whisper (R, 2007)
I usually am a little apprehensive about “no-name” horror films. But I gave this one a shot. I am glad that I did because this movie was more interesting than I thought it would be. The plot is fairly simple: a group of …

The Lost (NR, 2005) movie

Wilderness (R, 2006) movie

The Unsinkable Molly Brown movie
As movie musicals go, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is unsinkable. It’s a marvelously well done movie with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell in the leads. As for being biographical on the real Molly Brown, many liberties were taken. We get a wonderful happy ending here, but …

Vantage Point movie
For my twenieth birthday, three friends of mine dragged me to the movie theater to see the new 2008 film Vantage Point. I had not heard of the film, but I was not interested. I’d have preferred simply to hang out at a friend’s house and play cards. Begrudgingly, …
Black Snake Moan (R,2007) movie
After watching this film, I think I understand why this movie did not fare so well at the box office. It’s going to take a strong stomach for the majority of Americans to be “okay” with observing a weathered black man keeping a sexually depraved young white woman on …
Washington Square movie
This is a remake of the 1949 classic titled “The Heiress,” starring Olivia de Havilland. While the original is hard to beat, the remake is actually not too bad. Of course, there are some rather questionable additions and a definite feminist touch, but what else can you expect from …

Steve Forrest wasn’t a favorite actor of mine, but he did do several movies and TV shows that I liked, which balanced all the performances I didn’t like of his. This movie, The Hanged Man from 1974, is somewhat in the middle.
If you didn’t know it, the film …
Movie A walk to remember
I must admit that I truly enjoy watching great romance movies. The once I truly like I watch them endless times. “A walk to remember” is a great movie based on a true story.

If you are thinking on watching G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, it’s worth your money, trust me. That’s what I feel on the whole. This movie has the ever-rising and handsome Channing Tatum as the main character, I suppose and he will be really big in future, …
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.
The DVD …
