Unidentified Flying Oddball movie

Hatchet Movie
Hatchet is without a doubt the best horror movie I’ve seen in a long time. People kept telling me to watch the remake of Halloween or a film from the After Dark series, or even one of the foreign horror movies, but nothing kept my attention like Hatchet did. …
Marooned movie
Marooned isn’t a big favorite of mine, but there’s something about it that when I start watching it, it’s hard to turn off. I normally love space-age movies, but sometimes they seem a bit off. While that’s the case here, the acting in some cases is so …
The Triangle - Part 3 movie
After the disasters are worked out that brought the second portion of this 3-part outing to a conclusion, The Triangle - Part 3 has the four individuals who were brought together to solve the answer to the Bermuda Triangle join up together again. The writer among them, Howard …
Duplex movie
I thought the movie Duplex was one of the most hilarious Ben Stiller movies I remember seeing. I did not even expect it to be so funny before I saw it either and I would normally pick up whether a comedy film is going to be funny as soon …
Four brothers movie
I watched the dvd of this movie and I quite enjoyed it, there was even a death I didn’t expect in it. The story is about 4 young men who were adopted by a lady who is killed in the opening scene. The boys played …
My Cousin Vinny
One of my favorite movies of all times has to be “My Cousin Vinny.” For anyone who has not seen this movie since it came out in 1992, give it a try. You will find yourself laughing through most of the movie.
The first thing that drew me …
Hilary and Jackie movie
A true story about two sisters who’s life are deeply affected by music, both for performing it and listening to it. They are very much alike but still they choose different paths in life, even though none of them seem to be the right one. Perhaps they should have …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Movie (2014)
“The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” is a decent effort by director Peter Jackson to wrap up the trilogy based on the novel, ‘The Hobbit’. Now I use decent very loosely as it falls far below the quality of the first two installments in the trilogy. When I watched …
Drillbit Taylor
I received this in the mail today from netflix, I got a free month of netflix so I decided to try it out.
I wanted to watch it so that I can send it back in the morning. At first the movie was boring and not funny at all. …
Rocky Horror Picture Show
I have seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show two times in my lifetime; last night was the second time. Each time I enjoyed the movie but I found myself leaving awfully confused.
Let me start out by saying that, if you haven’t seen this movie already, you may want to …
Boogie Nights movie
Boogie Nights is a film about the adult entertainment industry and the making of pornographic movies in the last 1970s. Evidently at this time, all movies in this genre were made to be shown in theaters. What a concept! Anyway, one of Boogie Nights’ stars is Burt Reynolds, who …
3 Ninja at High Noon Mountain Movie
I used to be a great lover of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, as a child, so it wasn’t so much of a stretch for me to think that I might also have enjoyed this film. The whole idea behind the film is that three boys, who are brothers, …
Wolf Creek film

This is not a film for those …
The Invasion Movie
I think The Invasion is one of those movies that probably could have been pretty good, but ended up getting the raw end of the stick. The movie was supposed to come out a few years ago, but kept getting pushed back and pushed back. I remember reading a …
Underdog movie
No one is more surprised than I am that Underdog is actually a good little movie. As a rule, I don’t like remakes or re-thinks that mess with the history of something I loved as a child, and I did love watching the Underdog cartoons as a kid.
Underdog …
Movie: Open Graves
I don’t know why I bother taping “horror” films off of the SyFy channel. Yes, occasionally, they will have a decent one. But, more often than not, the movies are actually pretty darn terrible.
The film Open Graves is a good example of that.
I DVR’d this film back in February …
Sin Nombre movie
I follow movies that receive attention at small film festivals like Sundance or Cannes with great interest, because I generally enjoy these movies so much more than big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. I read reviews about “Sin Nombre” after it won some international awards, and I finally saw it on DVD …

Documentary: Battles Poison Cloud
I recently watched a documentary called Battle’s Poison Cloud. It was a powerful documentary but different than I had expected. The documentary is about Vietnam and the use of agent orange a powerful chemical. This chemical, also called dioxin, was sprayed along with other chemicals during …
Music and Lyrics
For people who grew up in the 80’s, much of the subtle humor in the recent movie, “Music and Lyrics” is not as subtle as it is obvious and in your face. From the incredibly cheesy music videos, to the fanatical gyrations of a has-been, this movie made me …

Knocked Up
Knocked Up with Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, and Leslie Mann.
Only one word can describe this romantic comedy - stinker. Rogen and Heigl play two personalities on opposite ranges of professional career motivation, yet end up hooking up in a drunken binge. …

Transporter 3
I must say that the —˜Transporter’ films are my favourite Jason Statham’s movies together with ‘The Bank Job’. I believe that with ‘Transporter 3′ the director, Olivier Megaton and writers, Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen managed to put together the right ingredients that made this movie series so …

Last Vegas (2013 Film)
Last Vegas is a comedy film I was eager to see after viewing the trailer for it one evening. I wasn’t hesitant in watching it due to all the veteran actors that would be starring in the film. I just knew that a film with Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, …
The Invisible Man movie
This James Whale horror story, that came out between the Frankenstein movies, is my favorite of his work. Chilling story filled with suspense and remarkable effects and terribly good acting - especially from Claude Rains as the invisible man - makes this a landmark in early horror cinema. The …
Dawson’s Creek
When Dawson’s Creek was on the air in primetime, my daughter was a teenager. She used to bug me to watch it and we began “letting” her take over the TV to watch it each week. At first, her Dad and I would go sit outside or do …
Count Duckula cartoon
“Count Duckula” was one of my favourite cartoons as a child. I loved everything about it, from the theme song to the drawings and the plot. However, the only thing I disliked was the fact that I would rarely see it on local television. In fact, of the few …
Spanglish
I like Adam Sander movies for the very reason that it’s fun to watch and you’re sure to be entertained. There are some really popular Sandler movies like Click, which is one of my favorite, Anger Management, The Longest Yard and many more. But Spanglish seemed not to be …

It’s A Wonderful Life - Film 1947
For me, It’s A Wonderful Life has three big no-no’s, firstly my mother loves films like this, secondly it is basically a romance and lastly it’s very old fashioned and in black and white —“ but really I should not hold that against it! It’s a collectors edition …

Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother
This is a tough one. Bright cast, and comedy done in the style of Mel Brooks’ comedy, prevalent during the 70s, this film showed great promise. But for me, while quaint, this film did not deliver on it’s character expectations.
The story centers around Segerson Holmes, jealous older brother of …
Bratz Kidz Sleepover Adventure
My daughter absolutely loves the Bratz. It doesn’t matter if it’s a doll or the latest movie, she needs to have it.
When Bratz Kids Sleepover Adventure came out on DVD, I was a good parent and kept my promise to rent it for her. Big mistake.
The movie has …
Valkyrie
Valkyrie tries valiantly to be a good movie, but ultimately, fails. The movie is put together very well, with phenomenal acting by every one involved. Both the writing and the directing are equally great. So why does the movie fail? The story simple can’t carry istelf through a whole …
