A couple days ago, I watched the docudrama “Shooting Dogs” on the cable television channel, Showtime. It is a British film about a BBC reporter’s experience of being trapped in the African country, Rwanda, during the nineteen ninety four genocide of the Tutsis by the Hutu tribe.
Many people, …

“Angry Beavers” was a Nickelodeon cartoon which used to air on the channel Nickelodeon in the late nineteen nineties, and the early 2000s. When I first discovered it though, I didn’t watch it because I found the cartoon annoying despite the fact that at the time I had not …

I hadn’t seen Dreamscape in a while so, when given the opportunity to watch it last night, I made every effort. And, I have to say, the movie is as good as I remember it.
The great thing about Dreamscape is, even today, it’s a plot that hasn’t been re-done …

When my family rented the film from our local Hastings a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea what this “Sweeney Todd” character entailed. Indeed, the name sounded more of the same banal comedic drudgery that plagues the genre. My initial suspicions were proved utterly superficial when I …

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sequel to the movie Hot Shots; Hot Shots Part Deux. And I have to admit, after seeing it again this morning, it’s as good as I remember it being.
While the first Hot Shots movie made fun of the film Top Gun, …

I took my daughter today to see Bee Movie at Showcase Cinemas in Randolph. The movie was great…but, I will leave that for someone else. :)
There were a lot of cars in the lot when we arrived, but amazingly, there was still parking close by. The …

Road Show was a 1941 movie musical that starred Adolphe Menjou, who was one of the mainstays in motion pictures in this era. He was just everywhere. In this picture, he portrays Colonel Carleton Carroway.
The movie also starred Carole Landis as, get this, Penguin Moore. She …

I remember wanting to see the movie “Enemy” after I had seen the trailer some time ago. It gave me the impression that it could be one of those thrillers that would keep me in suspense all the way through till it ended. However, after I got to watch the …

A few nights ago my husband and I settled in to watch Half Nelson. I had never seen it or heard of it before so I figured that it was probably not that good of a movie. However my husband really wanted to watch it so I decided to …

This was definitely a man’s movie. Rocky with a sword times three hundred. It was over the top, overflowing with testosterone both in the battlefield and at home. It reminded me a lot of Gladiator, with just a darker feel to it. The way it was filmed was very …

I watched “Fred Claus” today with my family. It was an overall pretty good movie. I wouldn’t give it a ten or anything but it is worth watching, especially around the holidays and Christmas. It has Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamitti, Kevin Spacey, and Kathy Bates. You would think with …

I thought, by now, I would be reviewing the new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. But, I haven’t seen it yet. Instead, I’m talking about another version of Sherlock Holmes that came out recently on DVD.
This cheap ripoff, sometimes billed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, isn’t …

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 …

Sherlock Holmes stories have always been popular in the movie world, but I must say, that I really did not expect a movie like that to be made. I would have never thought of make a Sherlock Holmes movie as an action movie. The movie does not support the …

This movie was very popular, especially among the preteen girl crowd. I can see why - they definitely chose actors/actresses that would appeal to that age group, including the boy who plays Troy (main character).
The movie itself is sort of silly in the way a lot of kids movies …

I thought the Kick Ass was just an ordinary comedy action movie. It stars a new kid named Aaron Johnson (Dave Lizerwski) as a high school student who wanted to be a super hero. He is a kid with a high motivation in becoming a superhero to make a …

This is known as one of the worst films that Bill Cosby was in .This is ironic sense it was directed by Sidney Poitier who is known to be a great producer.Why did the movie get the bad rap that it did.
The main thing thats wrong with this movie …

The great and quite long series of books&movies which has been around for more than a decade is about to come to an end.
Being a loyal Harry Potter fan, I read all the books in the series, watched the movies and even played the computer games..
Usually I wasn’t very …

This movie was released last year and the film was directed by Mr.Gautham. Kamalahassan as Raghavan played the role of a high police official. He deals a controversial case that involved two medical students. How he deals the case was the story of the movie. …

This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …

I admit I am a great fan of Barbra Streisand. I believe she is simply wonderful in whatever she does. The movie “The Mirror Has Two Faces” in which she is an actress, director, producer and music director is no exception. It comes to no surprise that this movie …

Before watching SFS, I was absolutely thrilled that my two favorite actors, John Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) and Billy Bob Thorton (Bad Santa), had finally come together to make a movie that was sure to be hilarious. And that’s just what it was. I was on the floor laughing after …

This latest installment of the Indiana Jones series is my least favorite because of several things. It’s not as fun and entertaining; Harrison Ford as Henry “Indiana” Jones is no longer as hot as he was in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark”; and I don’t like the story …

When it comes to action movies, there are none better than Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, when it comes to comedies, there are few worse.
The movie Twins is probably Schwarzenegger’s best attempt and, while there are some funny scenes, it really isn’t all that great.
He and Danny Devito play twin brothers …

I went to see this movie this afternoon and was told it was a five star movie. At first, the movie started out kind of confusing to me. The boy, who is the “hero”, was with a family that I wasn’t even sure was his own. Plus, were they …

When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …

Today I watched Disney’s The Gameplan starring Dwayne ” The Rock ” Johnson and Madison Pettis. It turned out to be a surprisingly refreshing movie with a nice family friendly message and a huge sense of humor. A comedy / drama that gets us caught up in the …

What I liked about this movie: I am too young …

One of Us is a horror, drama mystery film directed by Blake Reigle. It actually feels more like a thriller rather than a horror film as there is nothing horrifying or scary about it.

The story starts off with journalist, Melanie receiving a call for help from her friend, Haley.

The Warriors with Michael Beck and James Remar.
This classic struggle for survival is one of my all time favorites. The action all occurs at night on the streets of New York City. I think that I enjoyed it so much because I could …

With Quincy Magoo, you either love him, or you hate him. I happen to love the old guy, voiced by Jim Backus, and his version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol stands to me as one of my all-time favorite holiday classics.
Set within a Broadway stage presentation, complete with …

In my experience remakes, like sequels don’t always turn out very well. That is why I wasn’t exactly rushing to see it once I found out that the 2015 remake of the popular 1982 supernatural horror movie Poltergeist. However, I found myself singing a different tune once another horror movie …

I watched “Men In Black” on Television yesterday. I admit that I am probably the only person on this planet who has not seen this particular movie.
In this movie Will Smith has been selected to be a partner to Tommy Lee Jones character to help him fight an …

To crazy gentlemen owns a hotel, a place which could well rate as the worst in the whole world. Situated next to a nuclear reactor, only having five guests in total and a drunk cook.
Rather hysterical film with a high tempo. Unfortunately it uses a “style” of jokes and …

This was an excellent movie. I can’t really tell you what it is about because it will ruin the movie. I can tell you that it is about a little girl that is missing. It kept me interested throughout the whole movie. I thought that the movie was going …

The movie starts…a brother and sister are driving on a lonely back road going home when the mysteriously encounter a maniac driver trying to run them off the road, they happen to see where something was dumped in a drain by this maniac driver, and what do they do…they …

Misled by the trailer (it presents everything that is best in movie), I witnessed the incredible efforts of some talentless actors of turning a bland scenario into a humorous story that just might bring a smile or two. The movie does not differ from the mediocre comedies for American …

Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire is sure another magical movie based on the book by J.K. Rowling. You can’t deny that the movie is a great one that you can’t blind your eyes. I always love each and every one of the series. I would totally recommend …

This movie which acts like a musical is very enjoyable to watch. I really liked the singing, and found Nicole Kidman great in her role. The coincidences were funny, and the entire movie was just silly.
The play within the movie was ridiculous, but how they tied it into the …

My husband and I both agree that this DVD is simply amazing!
We bought it for our 3 year old daughter and we are amazed with the results. After watching the cartoon every day for one week, my daughter basically learned the whole alphabet. I wouldn’t have believed it if …
