La La Land 2016 Film (PG-13)
The old saying, “They don’t make them like they used to” was just proven false. I just saw La La Land and it upholds the quality of the golden age of movies. Movies when they were art. Movies when they took effort and talent and time. Not the modern mindless …

Jackass: The Movie (2002)
One of my favorite television series when I was in high school was a television series named “Jackass” which starred pranksters Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera and Steve-O. I used to stay up with or without my brother every Sunday night in order to watch it, and I found most …
Movie “The Spell” (1977)
I love the 1970’s for it’s hilarious horror movies. I doubt I could ever find and watch them all. Hulu and Netflix have been great resources for me for hilarious horror movies from the ’70’s. What they considered horror is not at all what we think …
Final Destination 2 movie
I absolutely loved the first Final Destination when it came out and thought this one would be just as good. I was wrong.
Final Destination 2 was a good movie and was still better than many of the other thrillers out there. But, it definitely paled in comparison to the …

Eddie and the Cruisers
I watched the DVd “Eddie and the Cruisers” last evening.
This musical movie was made back in the 1980’s.
I really like this movie, which is based on the disappearance of Eddie Wilson, the lead singer of Eddie and the Cruisers. Maggie,
played very well by Ellen Barkin, is a reporter …
Superman Returns (2006)
Why oh why of why!!! Why is it that whenever a remake of a Superman Movie is done, the only character that they seem to pair as his nemesis is always Lex Luthor. Look at the extremely large list of enemies that Superman has, choose a different character to …
Alex and Emma (2003 Film)
The 2003 film “Alex and Emma” starring Kate Hudson in the early stages of her career, and Luke Wilson, was a film that was really trying to be romantic and funny. I could see it in the jokes and scenes that were exaggerated. However, it really did not deliver. …
Vajra Sky Over Tibet
I saw “Vajra Sky Over Tibet” yesterday afternoon here in Bellingham at the Pickford Theatre, our local independent, artistic theatre. The movie is a documentary that bills itself as a pilgrimage to Tibet. I described it to a friend as a spiritual and political travelogue.
This is a very good, …
In Her Majesty’s Secret Service movie
In Her Majesty’s Secret Service was different to the preceding films of the series. It was a disappointment to many, but is in my opinion better than You Only Live Twice for example and certainly one of the most underrated. Sean Connery chose not to appear in this film …
Happy Feet (the movie)
Don’t we all just love penguins? I know I do. I was really excited when the movie came out, i really had big expectations about it since it only heard good things about it. And the day finally came, I went to the cinema (which nowadays I do rarely) …
James Cameron’s Avatar
Avatar is my favorite movie that I’ve watched all year. Heck, it might even be my all-time favorite. Critics say that it lacks plot, but I highly disagree. Who cares if it’s cliche? All that matters is that the story is well told.
The movie is about an ex-Marine, Jake …
The Departed
For some reason I had been confusing the movie “The Departed” with a science fiction movie of a similar name for some time, so I decided not to watch it. However, one time I saw it on the cable guide and found out it was actually an action film. …
Peace, Love and Misunderstanding (comedy drama)
While I do like some independent drama films, I didn’t think I would enjoy this one based on the description that I had seen of it. My impression was that it would probably be too boring for me to enjoy or I wouldn’t be able to relate at all. However, …

‘This is England’ is a marvellous movie about growing up, friendship, love, pain and hatred. The story is set in Britain in 1983, just in the middle of Iron Lady’s reign and the Falklands War. A very young boy, Shaun, is going through a very difficult time. His dad …
DreamGirls (2006 Movie)

Movie The Hunchback of the Morgue (1972)
The Hunchback of the Morgue (1972)
Easily the best non-werewolf film Spanish horror icon Paul Naschy has ever made!
And it is also his most over the top monster-mayhem spectacle!
Paul plays Goto, a misunderstood hunchback used as a tool of violence by a power mad, crazed scientist. Can Goto overcome this …
Three and Out
I had never heard of this British film before, but it stars the new Bond girl, Gemma Arterton, and MacKenzie Crook from The Office fame, so I gave it a go. It’s a new film (2008) but, as with many British films, I haven’t seen it advertised anywhere so …

Royal Wedding movie
Royal Wedding is one of the classic musicals from 1951 which is actually now in the public domain, which is why it’s often included in DVD compilations. That’s how I watched it recently, in fact. I’m sure I probably saw this as a child because I adore …

Flesh and Bone
Flesh and Bone with Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan, James Caan, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The title picked up my attention, but I guess it was just a trick to get me to watch a boring mundane movie. I suppose it was meant to be flesh and …

10 Things i Hate About You
10 things i hate about you was the breakout vehicle for the at the time unknown future stars Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. The movie is, at its heart, a romantic comedy, but what’s truly great about this movie is that it doesn’t tend to follow the usual stereotypes …

In 1995, a teen flick came out and I remembered watching it a lot of times with my girlfriends. It was when the movie Clueless came out.

For those of you who are old enough you will remember the epic 11 hour series Brideshead Revisited which was without a doubt one of the best TV series ever to come out of England. If you go to the movie Brideshead Revisited expecting the same great script and …
Inception Movie (2010)
This movie just showed out today and I couldn’t resist not watching it since it had garnered so much hype and attention from press and interviews on HBO while it has not yet been released, when I saw the trailer I thought it was really weird but when I …
Ghost Ship
Oh my God, that was a great movie. I haven’t seen Ghost Ship in ages and finally got a chance to watch it late last night.
My wife hates this movie even though she usually likes horror films. The whole thing, which is about a shipwreck that is discovered and …
Dead Mary (UR, 2006) movie
I was surprised that this movie didn’t get more thumbs down on Netflix reviews. This was an interesting film that could have been much much better. Offering a slightly different spin on the typical teenage group in the woods slasher film, this movie uses a little …

I hesitated to watch the film “Bee Movie” since I thought that it would be just a silly little children’s animated film. However, after seeing it going on over and over on cable television I decided to just watch it and evn though it was not a masterpiece, I …

This is an excellent powerful movie! It was the perfect combination of comedy, tragedy, and inspiration. In this film, a young 16 year old is dying of cancer. He had been granted one wish by a foundation and much to everyone’s surprise, he asks to spend …
Because I Said So
I simply enjoyed watching the actress Diane Keaton in her role of clingy and over protective mother with the name of Daphne Wilder in the movie “Because I Said So”. The Razzie Award thought that she over exaggerated, however for me that her interpretation in this movie is simply …
The 400 Blows: A Film by Francois Truffaut (1959)
Since I sat down and watched A Bout de Souffle aka Breathless on TV monde’s random showings of French classics at slumber hours, I’ve been captivated by French cinema. But way before my interests landed the French new wave genre, I already came across this familiar movie when …

Master of Disguise movie
I had an opportunity to watch the film Master of Disguise the other night. I know I have seen it before but I couldn’t remember much about it. After watching it again, I can understand why.
Dana Carvey is somewhat funny as a waiter who finds out he comes from …
Cinderella Movie
Cinderella is easily one of my favorite Disney movies of all time and I’ve probably seen it 50 times over the years. I used to baby sit a little girl who absolutely had to watch the movie every night before she went to bed and even then I never …
“Ernest Scared Stupid” (1991 Film)
Many people are familiar with the Ernest films. Each of them are themed differently but revolve around a loveable and child-like man who can be clumsy at times but becomes everyone’s friend and sometimes hero by the time the film is over. Not to mention he makes me laugh …
