Cast A Deadly Spell, movie (1991)
There are times when some of the best movies I’ve seen were ones I stumbled across haphazardly. I first became aware of this particular film after seeing a t-shirt for it on the horror site, Rotten Cotton. A trailer for the film was viewable next to the …
Movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall
This is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while. It’s about this guy who his girlfriend dumps him and he ends up going to Hawaii, and his girlfriend ends up being there with her new boyfriend at the same time.

Spiderman 3 Movie

Maleficent (2014 Film)
Maleficent is another one of the Disney movies that made its appearance earlier in the year. Not animation, but a live action film that promised to tell a different story than what the Disney fans are used to. I will happily admit that I am a Disney fan that …
Rocky movie
What is the big deal about the movie Rocky? I don’t understand why anyone would want to watch people beat each other up. And, if you haven’t noticed, the acting is not great. So what is the point? I think Sylvester Stallone was pretty hot when he was younger …

Ice Age -Movie One in the Trilogy
I watched this movie a long time ago and then again recently; I recall then thinking that it was childish -which I suppose is good because it’s mostly a kid’s movie but I had hoped it would entertain me too- and that I would not care so much …
Gaslight (1944)
I have just watched this fantastic old black and white movie, Gaslight, starring the wonderful Ingrid Bergman as Paula, a woman nearly driven out of her mind by her husband in a bid to get his hands on her fortune. Bergman won her first Oscar in this role …

The already very crowded club of super heroes with their own movies got another member; it is the Ant-Man. A man who can shrink and become small as an ant, he wears a suit that makes him look like an ant and he can also communicate with and command ants. …
School of Rock (movie)
When School of Rock came to theaters a few years ago, I enjoyed it so much that I saw it two nights in a row with different people. I didn’t pay for it myself either time, but that’s beside the point. The reason I could see it …
Click
I actually enjoyed this movie. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it but I remember it. I love Adam Sandler. In this movie he gets a remote and uses that remote to get ahead. There are some twists which I won’t give away. It is an enjoyable movie for …

Arthur 2011 movie
I just recently saw the movie Arthur (2011). This stars the actors Russel Brand, the famous Helen Mirren and Jennifer Garner. Apparently, this has a low rating in IMDB but I loved this movie! People have been comparing it to the old Arthur movie which stars Dudley Moore. I …
Terminator Salvation
For those who haven’t been living under a rock for the last decade, the latest Terminator film is the fourth of it’s kind. Perhaps I overestimated the popularity of the Terminator series, but how could you not be compelled to watch Arnie, who happens to be a …

The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is a crazy musical that is raunchy and often inappropriate for the mainstream and yet is funny and delightful to watch. The language is way too much for my tastes, but I choose to grit my way through this movie because I …
Rugrats: Decade in Diapers
As a parent, I’m always looking for ways to keep my daughter occupied for an hour or two so I can have a bit of quiet time for myself (or some time alone with my wife). One of the ways I do that is by having a variety of …
Home Town Story movie
From 1951, Home Town Story is another movie from Metro Goldwyn Mayer that gets right to the point. It has to because it’s just over an hour an length, which wasn’t uncommon for films before the sixties.
When I first put this on, I was taken aback somewhat by …

Movie Money Train
I just watched Money Train yesterday and oh my God, that movie is awesome! Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez really deliver a humorous, dramatic and action packed sense of their characters. This movie kind of reminds me of Four Brothers in the sense that Snipes and Harrelsons …
Fried Green Tomatoes (starring Kathy Bates)
Fried Green Tomatoes is a powerful, sweeping movie starring Kathy Bates, Mary Louise Parker, Mary Stuart and Jessica Tandy. I call this movie my “Girl Power” movie. Watch it with your sisters and mom. A very good content story and if this is made into a book, …
Movie: 300
First half of the movie was honestly bored but as it get closed to the war scene, it became the best war movie i have ever seen in my life. Only three hundred people were fighting against a huge country for their country. There was a man who called …
Paranormal Activity (2009 film)
This is one of those love it or hate it movies. I don’t think there is anyone who came away from this with a middle of the road reception. I myself could’ve gone either way as many of the reviews I heard were “it’s really good, it’s …

Pearl Harbor is a great war movie with Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, and Josh Hartnett playing the pivotal roles. The movie is based on the attack on Pearl Harbor and is very well directed. Though the movie is very long in duration, it doesn’t seem an obstacle for a …
When Trumpets Fade movie
A film set during World War II, focused on a band of soldiers and their struggle for survival. It begins very good with a strong sense of realism and despair, but then it is so evident that this film was intended for television, and the low budget is so …
Hollywood Land movie
I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
I think it’s because this movie was something different from what I was expecting.
I think the movie, which is about former …
The Shining (1980 Psychological Horror Film)
Horror is the one genre I try to avoid the most. Ever since I was young I always tell myself never to watch a horror film because all it does to me is scare me. And I don’t want to be scared. I don’t want to have trouble sleeping at …
Spider-man: Homecoming - (Movie 2017)
It almost seems every few years we have a new Spider-man franchise. While I’m definitely a fan of the days where Toby Maguire graced the screens as Peter Parker/Spider-man, Spider-man: Homecoming took me to a more refreshing look at Spider-man himself.
The Spider-man franchise starring Maguire and …
Blockbuster Online
Can I start by saying “Waste of money.”
I can sum up the review in that one sentence, but let me be more specific.
For several months I was subscribed to Blockbuster online and can tell you that it was a terrible service.
Here’s why:
Out of Order. I am a devoted movie …
Film Sherlock Holmes [2009]
Yea yea, another one of those Sherlock Holmes spinoffs. By now can you really expect anything good out of them by now? Fortunately, after countless mind numbingly awful “reimaginings” of the world of Sherlock Holmes over the past few years (decades even), a movie finally got lucky and didn’t …
Movie Don’t Look Now
I love suspense and horror, and I adore Julie Christie. What a gorgeous actress she was! If you also enjoy this combination, you must watch Don’t Look Now. Don’t Look Now is an older film, from the 1970s, but it will not disappoint you. Julie Christie plays Laura, and …
Wise girls movie 2001
I remember the movie Wise girls staring Mariah Carey, Mira Sorvino and Melora Walters being filmed in Halifax, Nova Scotia some years back. Recently I got to rent the DVD, and realized what all the commotion had been about.
Halifax, doubles as Rhode Island, and does a good double! I …

Cast Away (Tom Hanks, 2000)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who usually does a good job, and starring Tom Hanks. Usually Tom does a good job too, but this movie didn’t work for me. I didn’t like it for many reasons, but it wasn’t the actors or the director at fault: it …

Mickey’s Christmas Carol
I just finished reading Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol to my daughter and she said she would love to see a movie about it. Wanting to find a movie that gave justice to the book yet wasn’t too scary for her, I finally settled on Mickey’s Christmas Carol.
The thing …
