Monster In Law movie
I don’t know if the whole Jennifer Lopez thing is all played out. But seeing her in another “Getting Married” movie is just not cutting it for me anymore. This movie is another don’t watch film starring J-Lo. If you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. This film is …

“Meet Joe Black”: The Movie with Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt

Balls of Fury
I normally enjoy Christopher Walken movies but the film Balls of Fury was a bit too stupid for my tastes.

Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back (NR, 2008)

Skinwalkers
The movie poster of this movie titled “Skinwalkers” doesn’t suggest much, but sure looks horrible enough to attract the horror pro customers like myself, sacrificing other shows to make this one.
I was disappointed really. It was cearly a low budget movie with little plot and less than encouraging fighting …
Netflix
Recently, I evaluated the Netflix rental service. It’s very much like that of Blockbuster’s, where you select the DVDs you’d like to rent, they send them to you, you return them, and then the next one is sent. Unfortunately, the Netflix trial isn’t as long as Blockbuster’s …
3 Idiots (2009 Bollywood Film)

Movie The Candidate
“What do we do now?”

Movie UHF
Weird Al Yankovic has always been a controversial singer and is definitely no actor. But, his movie UHF is an instant classic that should be shown more on television.
Yankovic stars as a guy who inherits a near-bankrupt television station and ends up turning the station around, causing a head …
Movie: Zombieland
When I first heard of the movie Zombieland, I wasn’t planning on watching it. I figured it would be like every other horror movie spoof out there and would be a big waste of my time.
However, my wife did want to watch it and, after some argument, I caved …
Kaw
I used to love original movies on the television station “SyFy” but I have to say most of them are starting to look like rip-offs from better known movies.
Take the one I watched yesterday for example; “Kaw.” This movie has a small town being infested with Ravens that are …

A musical for all ages and a definite must have to any movie collector. I first saw this movie in childhood and to this day my family can still hear me using quotes from the film in addition to singing (offkey i might add) the ever popular tunes. Seven …

Highlander
I actually saw the movie Highlander after watching the television series first. And, I’ll admit, it ended up being a bit confusing the first time around. But, after watching it a second and third time, it turned out to be a halfway decent movie.

Shrek the third
I’ve heard some very mixed emotions about Shrek the Third for weeks before I made up my mind to go and see it myself. It took me this long, mainly because I did not want to be disapointed. See, I am a very big Shrek fan. …

Signs was a really cool and scary movie. This movie really got into my head and freaked me out! I think this is why I liked it so much. It starts of slow with people seeing crop circles. And then you think you see things moving outside in the shadows, …
Mystery Science Theater 3000, movie (1995)
