Inside Out, 2015 Animation, Comedy Movie

They Live a classically bad sci-fi flick
I’m actually old enough to remember Roddy Piper in his prime as a pro wrestler and when he left the industry to pursue a movie career. As the movie They Live proves, he should have stuck to wrestling.

Alvin and the Chipmunks
Whenever you try to remake a popular cartoon of the 80s or 90s into a live-action film, you run quite a few risks. And, just as often as not, many attempts at this wind up being complete disasters.
Fortunately, Alvin and the Chipmunks was not one of those films.
We’ve been …

Embrace of the Serpent (2015 Colombian Adventure-Drama Film)

Evil Dead (2013) Movie
Remakes of classic horror movies don’t have the best track record. Yet, we live in an age where they are common place due to…I’m not sure.

Transporter 2 (2005 movie)
What is the aim of this motion picture? Where is the purpose? If you ask me, there are none. This movie developes waaaaay too fast, there is too much momentum. I find it hard to put in words how terrible this movie is. The original of this one overshadows …

Movie Just Friends
I must admit I don’t like watching Ryan Reynolds movies. For some reason, he is obsessed with the words ‘fuck’ and ’sex’, however he managed to convince me in this comedy movie with the name “Just Friends”. I like this movie because Reynolds finally managed to involve himself in …
Damn Yankees! movie
I love baseball, and I love musicals, so naturally, I love Damn Yankees! Tab Hunter was awesome as a young Joe Hardy, the man who made a deal with the devil that allowed him to play for his beloved New York Yankees. It’s an engrossing sports tale …

Father Hood
This Patrick Swayze movie is one of my very favorites. Patrick is wonderful in the role of Jack Charles where, for the first time, he plays a father. The problem with the marketing of the movie, though, is that people misunderstood the title and thought the movie …
All About Steve film
I like the fact that Sandra Bullock in many of her films, usually plays a feisty but vulnerable sort of character, a real fighter, someone we can all relate to. “All About Steve” continues in this time honored tradition, rather like, “Miss Congeniality”. I was pleasantly surprised to find …
