One of the movies I had been looking forward to seeing since 2010 was the movie “Thor”. This was not only because I’m a big comic book fan, but because it sounded like it was going to be big from the start. When I watched it for the first …

After watching it, I’ve come to the conclusion that “Amelie” is one of those movies that is so unique and enjoyable that I could find myself watching it multiple times. This is even though I’m not a huge fan of most romantic comedies.

The movie revolves around the very peculiar …

Apocalypto is a movie directed by Mel Gibson. It was released soon after the scandal that occurred when Mel Gibson was pulled over for drunk driving and went on a tirade against Jewish people. For this reason, many people didn’t see the movie when it came out …

This is the second movie that came out after the first. Cheaper By The Dozen 2 is better than the first. I couldn’t stop laughing. Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt once again play the Bakers and get themselves and their twelve kids into a ton of trouble when they …

People had been clamoring for a “Deadpool” movie starring Ryan Reynolds for years. We came close with “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. The actor was cast to play the reputed “merc with a mouth”, but while Reynolds shined in the early scenes, the actual Deadpool was a stunning disappointment. Nevertheless, fans still …

We are all so special and unique when we are 20 years old. We have special feelings. We have thoughts that we think no one else has ever had before. We feel at the center of the world. We are true egocentrics. We carry around our “creativity,” whether it’s “shitty …

It`s a great movie. It`s a comedy romance and Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet plays really good in it. It takes some people years to fall in love at first sight. A LOT LIKE LOVE is a romantic comedy about destiny, connection and the frequently fuzzy line between chance …

The 40 Year Old Virgin, in my opinion, is one of the better Apatow related movies. Movies from the Apatow crowd include Anchorman, Superbad, Knocked Up, etc. Back to 40 year Old Virgin, I haven’t laughed this hard during a movie in a long time. Most …

My wife and I were flipping channels the other day trying to find something that wasn’t a re-run we’ve seen 100 times before. After a frustrating search, we decided to watch the made-for-tv movie Fab Five Texas Cheerleading Scandal, which is apparently based on a true story we never …

In the Time of the Butterflies with Salma Hayek and Edward James Olmos.
The title offered me no clue as to the theme of the movie and in fact it seemed like a sensitive touchy feely movie. Since I try to stay away from these movies, …

In 2009, Paramount decided to reboot the long running “Star Trek” franchise with a new series of movies that scrapped the previous continuity and showed us a younger, less experienced Enterprise crew.
The results were largely positive, though it had its detractors (especially those who had been life long “Trek” fans.) …

The best thing this movie had going for it was the cast. Top rated actors putting on exceptionally fine performances kept this movie from being confused with its contemporary counterpart. The Prestige. Edward Norton always does well, no matter what role he plays. He is what I call an …

Elizabeth Masterson is a surgeon who is workaholic. It feels life is more expendable in the hospital where he worked than socializing with other people. But, until now is reasonable, if Elizabeth is still single. Until a traffic accident when a change lives. Elizabeth now can only lay coma, …

A few years ago, The Blair Witch Project used one camera to add realism to a horror film and was so successful at doing it, other movies have tried to copy the method. Unfortunately, those movies often fail.
This was pretty much the case with the movie Quarantine. On one …

Bandolero was a really strange western with an odd theme that was quirky but alluring. It has a bouncy element to it. I actually like the theme music quite a bit. It fits the movie.
Basically, James Stewart hears about a band of outlaws that have been …

I saw bits and pieces of this movie at least twice when it was being aired on Starz Cinema, and on about the third time I decided the description of the plot made it seem to be too interesting to not try out. I was cooking when I started …

“About a Boy” is the movie where Hugh Grant tried to make something different from the usual movie projects we are so used seeing him in. I must admit that, although this movie was a great success, I prefer Grant version in his usual type of movies. All in …

“Sherry Baby” is a movie with a great message to send back home about ex-women convicts. Although the interpretation of Maggie Gyllenhaal in the main role is excellent, this movie has a weak script and the story moves on a very slow pace.
This movie is about a woman Sherry …
