Cannonball Run
Talk about nostalgia, I’m only twenty-seven years old and I really feel like an old timer when I watch cannonball run. This great movie was probably the funniest of its time. Featuring great actors like Burt Reynolds, who molded perfectly into his role of the bad boy racer, J.J. …
The Fourth Protocol movie
The Fourth Protocol (1987) is a cat and mouse spy drama starring Michael Caine as John Preston and Pierce Brosnan as Valeri Petrofsky. Quite frankly, I just couldn’t get into it, no matter how hard I tried. It’s slow with a lot of following folks around and that …
Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is one of those movies that people either love or don’t care for at all. I’m definitely one of the former people, which explains why I now own three copies of the movie on DVD. When I was looking through the racks of a local store and …

Iron Man

Shawshank Redemption movie
Movies have always been a source of joy, happiness and sorrow at the same time. But every once in a while comes along a movie which inspires you and makes you feel that this movie has enriched your life. For me there is no better example than shawshank redemption. …
Change of Habit movie
Change of Habit is a movie I’ve always enjoyed watching. It’s one of my very favorite films to star Elvis Presley. In fact, it was actually his movie, something I find very sad. His co-star was Mary Tyler Moore, reportedly the only co-star who never slept …
Fever Lake (1996) movie
Fever Lake is a horror movie that stars Corey Haim, Bo Hopkins and Mario Lopez. It’s what most people refer to as a ’slasher’ or ‘killer thriller’. Normally I prefer scary animal movies, but I decided to watch this one as I found it on the shelf of my …

Sitting on the Moon movie
Sitting on the Moon was a shorter movie release from 1936 which starred Roger Pryor as composer Danny West, Grace Bradley as one time star Polly Blair, William Newell as Mike, and Pert Kelton as Mattie.
Actually, as I watched Sitting on the Moon, I was reminded of films like …
Movie: “Risky Business”
Tom Cruise had his big break in “Risky Business” back in 1983, and I could see why: the movie is the ultimate coming-of-age story, with all the expect twists and turns.
Cruise plays awkward teenager Joel, who longs to be cool - he dreams of sex, money, and popularity. When …
Movie: “The Toy”
This Richard Pryor classic is as hysterical today as it was at its 1982 release. The laughs never stop; even the slapstick comedy is so well-done that it had me laughing out loud.
Master comedian Jackie Gleason plays a wealthy businessman who promises his spoiled son any toy he wants. …
Eight Below (movie)
A new movie was released on Monday called “Eight Below”. This is an awesome movie, especially for dog lovers.

The Gumball Rally movie
Before Burt Reynolds came along with The Cannonball Run, there was 1976’s The Gumball Rally. I adore this movie and have seen it numerous times over the years. It was unique and very different, and all of the actors were so funny in it. The comedy …
Bad Teacher 2011 movie
I was waiting for Bad Teacher to premiere so badly. First of all, I see pictures of Bad Teacher everywhere: on billboards, on bus stops, etc. It keeps on getting in my head everyday. Secondly, the commercials look awesome. It looks absolutely hilarious. Last but not least, I love …
Napolean Dynamite Movie
The first time I ever watched Napolean Dynamite, I thought it was prehaps the worst movie ever made. Since then however I have gotten an appreciation for this movie. For the most part its a bout a nerdy high school student and his expolits. After the second, or third …
Ghost and Mrs Muir
I love movies, it is one of my favorite pasttimes. I like old movies also, some of them are so well done that they are truly classics. I was flipping through channels the other night and came across a 1947 movie entitled The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
The story …

Movie: Night of the Comet
I ended up watching a movie last night that I haven’t seen in years; Night of the Comet.
While much cornier than I remember it being, it also ended up being somewhat entertaining and a great way to spend a couple hours on a rainy, stormy night (perfect weather for …
The Glass House,2001 movie
A mediocre, predictable thriller with quite a few plotholes and not the best acting. Ruby (Leelee Sobieski), a 16 year old girl, and her brother Rhett (Trevor Morgan) are orphaned when their parents die in a car accident. A wealthy couple adopts them, supposedly according to the dead parents …

Season of the Witch (movie)
When I saw the movie “Season of the Witch” advertising early this year on cable, I definitely wanted to watch it, and I became even more interested in seeing it after I saw that the actor Robert Sheenan from “Misfits” had a major role in it.
The movie, which was …
She’s the Man Movie
This movie is based very loosely on 12th Night by Shakespeare. I watched the actual movie 12th Night first so when I saw She’s the Man, I put it together that it was based on it. Basically this movie is about this pair of twins, a boy and a …
Duplex film starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore
I caught the tail end of this movie once on Comedy Central. I came in to see the main character in what I could’ve sworn was a Bennigan’s, but really turns out to be a generic bar, working to finish a novel that was due within the day. …
The Wolverine (movie)
When the movie “The Wolverine” was released last year, I found that I was nowhere near interested in seeing it unlike the other movies in the “X-men” series. Until now, I still have a difficulty placing my finger on why exactly this was since I generally look forward to …
Superior 71 Drive-in Theater

If you like pro wrestling in any way, shape or form, and this movie is just for you, yup, it is right up your alley and it will or will not prove to be a good thing. As this movie would have it, two sewage workers are extremely upset …

Have you ever thought about producing a Broadway musical? Then the remake of the Mel Brooks classic is a great movie for you.
The movie started out slowly but, as it progressed, became funnier by the minute and the plot twists kept me wanting to watch just to find out …
Dirty Dancing
How often does a movie come along that you can watch it 5 times in one day and not ever get tired of it? I think the music is what makes this movie so good. And of course, the dancing. And Patrick Swayze. Oh my goodness, he is gorgeous …
Death Becomes Her (1992)
A more original plot you will never find or even dream of coming across in some lost text. Even if this movie is a remake or not, it has some great appeal and can easily be considered in my books of falling under the heading of an instant classic …
Iron Man Movie
I generally enjoy the superhero movies, but this one has something extra. It’s more realistic for those who just can’t get into the far-fetched fantasy scenarios of X-Men or Spider-Man. It doen’t try to be overly serious, nor does lack depth. It’s a perfect combination of sweet action, …

Cassanova movie
I’ve always heard of people referring to womanizers as “Cassanovas” but I never knew where that reference originated. I always wondered if there was actually a man in history who was named Cassanova and used to be a smooth talking womanizer but I had never actually taken the time …
Movie My Life in Ruins
I was lucky enough to see a screening of the movie My Life in Ruins, but I think I had to considering it was a romantic comedy and I’m a huge fan of romantic comedies. It was pretty much what I expected it to be, though I still enjoyed …

I received the DVD Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs for Christmas. I liked both the movies before it, and I missed seeing Dawn of the Dinosaurs in the theaters, so I wanted to see it on DVD. The movie is a continuation of the last two …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
IF you want to see a really cute movie, you need to see “Alvin and the Chipmunks”. It is such a cute movie.
I think there are many reasons why I like this movie so much. The first reason is that I grew up with Alvin, Simon and …
Tyler Perry Madea goes to jail movie
Tyler Perry Made goes to jail is one of the funniest movie I’ve seen in a long time. I really had a great time watching all of it. It’s hilarious to see Tyler dressing up as a woman. She’s wearing this women outfit and she acts like a man. …
Movie Homocide
Homicide with Joe Mantegna and Bill Macy.
I do not believe that this movie made the big screen as it was pretty cheesy. It focuses on two crimes in New York City. One was a black cop killer who only needed to be located. …
New Moon movie
I saw the movie New Moon. The second installment in the Twilight series, when it first came out and at the time thought it was ok. I recently tried watching it again and realize that it was very disappointing.
I did like the beginning when Alice threw the party for …
