Blades of Glory Movie (2007)
Not many people realize that the movie “Blades of Glory” is meant to be a spoof of the internationally acclaimed sport of ice-skating. If you want a movie that’s not a spoof, rent one of the all-time sports hero classics like “Rocky” or something of that nature. …
Don’t Breathe - Horror Movie (2016)
When it comes to horror movies, I’ve been disappointed by the garbage churned out over the past decade. Most horror movies draw up on the cliches that were once innovative at the start of the decade. However, Don’t Breathe stands out for all the right reasons. It’s definitely a scary …
Dead Like Me - Life After Death Movie
After a couple of years of cancellation, this Dead Like Me movie which is sub-titled Life After Death was done with most of the original cast except for Mandy Patinkin and Laura Harris. Harris’ Daisy character was recast with Sarah Wynter. The opening integrates a comic book …
Fatal Secrets (movie)
Some time earlier on this year, I watched a movie named “Fatal Secrets” on the cable television channel called TMC. I was a bit hesitant to watch it at first, since it looked like just another awful low budget movie to me that would be both predictable and full …
Get Hard (comedy movie)
Despite its fairly mediocre rating on IMDB, I actually didn’t mind watching the movie “Get Hard”. Since Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell were playing the main roles in it, expected something very raunchy and not as funny. However, one or two people I know told me it wasn’t bad. …
Solomon and Sheba movie
It’s amazing how many old films I’ve seen lately, including this movie, Solomon and Sheba. Actually, I want I think about most is that my shepherd-collie was named after Solomon by my sister, so when I cam across this movie, I decided to give it a watch. …
Kwaidan movie
Kwaidan is an episode film following four different horror stories. The director is Masaki Kobayashi, and here he gets to prove what he could do with color film. This might well be the most visually stunning piece of cinema I have ever experienced. Not only is the depth and …
Bats (1999)
You want a horror movie with a simple plot, one that just gets down to the meat of the matter and give the goods without any going around in circles, one that tosses you right into the middle of the chaos and tells you to either sink or swim, …
Lucky You movie
“Lucky You” is a great movie about poker. I feel that, although this is a good film, it may lack appreciation from the general public due to the fact that it is too focused on poker and how a poker player can be so insensitive to the environment and …
Miss Conception
I had never heard of the movie Miss Conception until I came acrossed it on Netflix the other day. And, to be honest, when I decided to get it, I didn’t have any idea what it was I was getting.
As it turns out, it was actually a pretty good …
X-men Origins: Wolverine
I tried to avoid watching this movie for a long time. I heard how they had mangled Deadpool who is one of my favorite comic book characters into an unrecognizable mess, and consequently I decided that I wouldn’t encourage this sort of thing by giving any of my …
Good Will Hunting
I am reviewing the movie, Good Will Hunting, which was released in 1998. This movie stars Matt Damon, Ben Afflec, Mimie Driver, and Robin Williams. Ben Afflect and Matt Damon actually wrote the screen play. Robin Williams won an Oscar for best supporting actor, and Damon and …
Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead
My wife and I absolutely loved the 2001 movie Joy Ride. So, when we saw there was a sequel, we wanted to see it. However, when we rented it, we figured it probably would turn out not to be any good.
While the movie didn’t live up to the original, …
Grand Theft Parsons (movie)
To be honest, I’d only heard the name Gram Parsons but I never had the urge to find out who this person was until I watched the movie “Grand Theft Parsons”. I might not have known of the musician whom they were referring to but my inability to resist …
Movie: Sister Act II
I love this movie, my husband and I watch it whenever it is on television. Sister Act II is the sequel to Sister Act, Sister Mary Clarence, played by Whoopi Goldberg, is back undercover again (this time from the priests) to help save a school. My favorite …
Con Air (1997)
Nicholas Cage stars in this edge of your seat action film. He is on his way home from prison, when the worst happens…what’s that you say, what can go wrong? The plane he was on, where every passenger is actually a prisoner is hijacked by some of the very …
Son of Batman, movie
Considering Damian Wayne’s reception as Robin has been mixed, to say the least, it was an interesting choice to make a movie that showcased him and brought him into the DC Animated Movie Universe.
While this does take place within the “New 52″ world that DC had built within …
The Running Man (1987 film)
I forgot how cheestastic this movie was. It’s an 80’s Schwarzeneggar film, so it’s not all that surprising, but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it.
Ahnuld plays Ben Richards, a soldier who is framed for mass murder after defying orders to fire on innocent civilians. He’s forced …
Let’s Go Collegiate movie
Let’s Go Collegiate was a movie released in 1941 that is basically a lot of college age nonsense. I tried, but I couldn’t get all that into the fun of this picture. It was okay, but I just didn’t really take to the story and none of …
Movie Deception
Overall this was an alright movie, I thought that it could have been a lot better. It kind of dragged out some during the beginning of the movie. There was also too much sex in the movie, I thought anyway. It’s about this accountant who meets this guy and …
Christmas Pudding
I am reviewing The Christmas Pudding, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, stars as Sherlock …
XXX
After a few movies, Vin Diesel became hollywood’s leading man for a hot minute. He was cast in Saving Private Ryan, which was an absolute brilliant movie starring Tom Hanks. And he was also in the Fast and the Furious with Paul Walker. After declining a role in the …
Drop Dead Gorgeous movie
“Drop Dead Gorgeous” was what I thought was a very interesting and unique comedy film. It was unique in the sense that it was dark and it was filmed in a way and a style which I thought was different from any other comedy film I had ever seen …
High Fidelity (2000)

War of the Worlds-2005
The recent War of the Worlds movie starring Tom Cruise is one of the best big budget movies I have seen in a long time.
The story centers around a divorced man (Tom Cruise) who lacks responsibility in his life. When aliens invade, he is forced to take charge to …
Movie Bangkok Dangerous
The primary flaw with this movie, and it’s a pretty big one, is that it’s just plain boring. I don’t know how an action movie about an international hit man manages to make me fall asleep, but this one did. Twice. Nicolas Cage is at his blandest in this …
Gothika movie
I was a bit disappointed with this movie. I would like to commend Halle Berry for a job well done but the same does not go to the movie as a finished product. I don’t want to call anyone stupid among those who made this film …
Pet Sematary
This is one scary movie, and no wonder: it’s based on a Stephen King book. Don’t watch it unless you’re a fan of horror films. Also, don’t watch it if you are an animal lover.
A family moves into a house at a remote place in Maine, the husband, the …
Movie Raise your Voice
“Raise your Voice” is a Hillary Duff movie. I just cannot understand why she has been nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie, because I believe it is one of her best movies together with “The Perfect Man”.
I found a certain similarity between “Raise your …
Movie 100 feet
This review is for the movie “100 feet” starring Famke Janssen (Jean Gray from X-Men). I picked it up at my local Blockbuster thinking it looked like a decent horror film.
Reading the back of the case provided a plausible premise for a horror flick. A woman is released …
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (Movie)
Percy Jackson and the lightning thief is a movie derived from the book of the same name. I have been a fan of Rick Rodian’s Percy Jackson series ever since I knew of its exsistance and so when I heard the movie was out I was really excited to …
Jurassic Park 3
Joe Johnston takes over directorial duties for the third entry in the Jurassic Park franchise and unfortunately, fails to captain a worthy successor to the fantastic first movie and enjoyable second.
The story is certainly lacking in any real scope. While the first two movies had an epic quality about …
Hot Fuzz (2007)
Hot Fuzz (2007) is a comedy directed by Edgar Wright and is rated R by the MPAA for violent content including some graphic images, and language.
Hot Fuzz follows Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg), who is the finest cop London has, with an arrest record 400% higher than any other …
Pete’s Dragon
Disney was the pioneer of mixing live action with animation, way back when he produced Alice In Cartoonland back in the 1920s. This art form would be tried many times by many animators throughout cinema’s history, culminating in 1988s �Who Framed Roger Rabbit?� But between Alice and Roger rode …
STRIPES Comedy
I have reached that age where a lot of the movies I thought were fantastic when I was younger kids today haven’t even heard of. STRIPES, a 1981 Columbia Pictures release staring Bill Murray, is one of those. If you haven’t seen it, you most definitely should.
This …
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Let me first start off by saying that I am a big fan of the Harry Potter books and was excited to see these movies. I was ready to see all of these characters I had been imagining in my head hit the big screen. All of …
The Landlady (1998)
Starring Talia Shire (Melanie Leroy), Patrick Foreman (Jack Coleman)
A mentally disturbed woman I wonder when her mind turned. Did it happen when she saw her husband coupling with another woman, or had it always been part of her psyche waiting for the right moment to erupt?
Melanie, …
Justice League cartoon
“Justice League” is one of my favorite superhero cartoons of all times. I can still remember when the series was advertising to start begin aired on the cable channel Cartoon Network and thinking that I wasn’t going to miss it. I had always had some amount of interest in …
Blood Diamonds
This is by far one of Leonardo di Caprio’s best films along with “The Departed”. I particularly liked the way “Blood Diamonds” was filmed and, as a mother of a small kid, I was very much impressed with scenes were kids were ordered to kill their enemies. I just …
