Love & Friendship (2016 Period Comedy Film)
Period dramas are not really my cup of tea although I must admit the fact that I love Downton Abbey to death. I was in a depressed mode when the final episode aired this time last year because it was so sad to watch a whole bunch of characters I’ve …
Hungry Ghosts (episode, “A Haunting”) DVD
The Discovery Channel has presented a program called “A Haunting,” in which real people present their real-life ghost stories. These stories are very intriguing, and fairly scary - that is, if you believe in that sort of thing. I happen to believe in many elements …
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 …
Alvin And The Chipmunks
Alvin And The Chipmunks, the movie version is SUPER funny and SUPER awesome. I love the singing especially. Enjoyed the story super much. And come to think of it, the My Name Is Earl, Jason Lee’s performance is outshine by the lovely Chipmunks.
Let’s talk about the voice-over …

Amusement (R, 2008) movie
“Amusement” is one of those horror films that you have to watch with few expectations. I went into the movie with an open mind. I liked the fact that the film was broken up into parts, sections that would ultimately culminate into something that I could fuse …
Alien Quadrilogy movie
The Alien saga is one of the finest and most enduring film series’ out there, and certainly one of the finest science fiction series’ out there. The legendary Ellen Ripley provides us with one of the strongest female characters of all time and once again, definitely a stand out …

“Ice Twisters” the movie 2009
Just from reading the synopsis on Netflix, Ice Twisters looked as if it was going to be a lower budget copy-cat disaster movie with a weather theme. That’s exactly what it was. But, to be fair, it was enjoyable, more so than I would have expected. When the film …
The Outer Limits : “Second Soul” episode
I rented the Outer Limits : Death and Beyond series because I’m truly a creepy person. I’ve always loved the Twilight Zone and Tales from the Darkside. So, I thought that this would be a natural DVD choice for someone like me. Boy was I …

I love Ella Enchanted. There’s a beautiful cast for this movie and they consist of Minnie Driver, Hugh Dancy, Anne Hathaway especially and many more.

Hot Shots movie

Have you ever watched a movie that for the life of you you just can’t manage to sit through the whole thing, for every time it comes and you decide your mind that this time you are going to make the effort to sit down and watch it right …
The 13th Warrior, Movie
Panned by critics upon release, and still without a Director’s Cut to see the light of day, I think The 13th Warrior is an overlooked gem much deserving of your attention. It was supposed to be an epically scaled historical adventure based on Michael Crichton’s book The Eaters of the …
Cider House Rules (1999)
“The Cider House Rules” is a 1999 Miramax movie, a production company that I find traditionally does excellent movies. At 116 minutes the English language movie is just about the perfect length. I never felt like it was padded to occupy more screen time nor did I feel cheated …

My Super Ex-Girlfriend
I must admit that I am not an admirer of Uma Thurman’s movies. When I watched the trailer of “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” I thought that it was a cute fantasy movie with a romantic touch, however I ended up not enjoying this movie.
I must admit that I enjoyed watching …
The Mirror Has Two Faces
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 …
Killer Klowns from Outer Space movie
The horror…the utter horror.
Not!!
This is a classic case of a mind at waste. How could they even consider making this movie and worse expect viewers to want to watch it. Well. as dumb as it is, I stood the torture and i watched it; and horrified I was. You …

Alvin and the chipmunks was the cutest movie for the whole family to see. If your looking for a really good family movie this is it. It has a great plot and very useful meaning. It was very amusing and had situations that even smaller kids could understand. It …
Movie: The Crazies
Even though we already had a movie to watch this weekend, my wife insisted on renting another one called The Crazies. She said she had heard from a friend that it was very good.
Well, I think her friend has a weird taste in movies because I definitely disagree with …
It Follows, horror movie
Within the last few years the genre of “Horror” for me seems to repeat the same mundane patterns of predictability and flatness. However, “It follows” is a gripping and tense horror flick that will leave you shaken, yet wanting more.
With barely anytime to get comfy, director (David Robert Mitchell) has …

Seed of Chucky
Seed of Chucky was a very funny and somewhat cheesy movie. It seems that ever new Child’s Play movie it got funnier and cheesier as it went along. But after a while, things started to change. The movie did have a few scares here and there but nothing compared to …
The Father of the Bride movie
Very often, the old original movie is better than a modernized remake; however, in this case I must say that it is not so. I had watched “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin first, for many years having no idea that it was a remake. Then I …

Great comedy staring the then-not-so-popular Scarlett Johansson. This movie also stared Thora Birch, and one of my favorite actors, Steve Buscemi. Ghost World is based off of the comic book title of the same name, it I promise you, this will be one of the best comedy-drama movies you’ll …

Eddie the Eagle (2016 Film)
