Death Race, science fiction action thriller film
Paul W.S. Anderson’s decision to make a movie based on the 1975 film Death Race 2000 was a strange one. Anderson’s track record isn’t the best one out their, but with the bad advertising this film got you can’t completely blame him. Now that Death Race is on DVD …
Lake Dead Movie
I plan on buying the entire run of horror movies from the Horror Fest 2008 series, but when they recently went on sale, I needed to pick out a few to buy. One of those that I picked was Lake Dead. Prior to watching the movie, I went online …
Night at the Museum
‘Night at the Museum’ directed by Shawn Levy has very peculiar story which interests my a strange manner. In general, it is movie which kids will enjoy more. But, that does not mean that it does not deserve adult viewers. Ben Stiller, playing the lead role has acted to …
Palookaville movie

3 Days to Kill (movie)

Movie Apocalypto
This movie is excellent in every way but I was skeptical until I sat down to watch it. Mel Gibson directs an action packed story-line that grabs your adrenaline first and your heart second. In the beginging of this movie you are introduced to a tribe of early Aztec …

The Wicker Man (Original)
I watched the original Wicker Man and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I’m not a fan of horror and although this was labelled as a horror film it really wasn’t. The ending was quite horrorific but the rest of the film was not. …
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (hereafter “Fellowship”) is the first movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. In many ways, it is also the best of the three. Of course each has its own unique strengths. There is not a …
Horror of Spider Island Movie
I ended up watching an old movie last night called Horror of Spider Island. From what I can tell, this was a foreign movie (likely German) that was dubbed and was supposed to be a scary movie.
Well, I have to tell you, this black and white film was one …

The Mothman Prophecies (2002)

Up In The Air Movie
I was interested in watching this movie basically because I was curious of the title, but I was not able to watch it until it got released on cable TV and I was lucky to click on the right channel as it was about to start. It turned out …
Hydra movie
The first time I had heard of the movie “Hydra” was when I had seen it advertising on the cable television channel SyFy. Even then, I could clearly see that it was going to be one of SyFy’s usual B-rated creature horror films, and when I had decided to …

Barbie in the 12 Dancing princesses
‘Barbie in the12 Dancing Princesses’ is the cartoon I like best in series about Barbie. All Barbie cartoons are gently, peaceful and suitable for girls. They are like fairy tales with magnificient context. But the appearance of princes, pricesses, farm girls and poor people in Barbie stories isn’t like …
SWAT movie
There are some movies that I could quote in entirety, line for line without any problems at all. One of these is the 2003 movie SWAT. This movie chronicles the rise of the a Los Angeles SWAT team made up of characters played by Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, …

Kissing A Fool
Kissing A Fool with David Schwimmer, Jason Lee, and Bonnie Hunt.

Bad News Bears movie
When I was growing up, the Bad News Bears movies were very popular. So, when the remake came out staring Billy Bob Thorton, I was skeptical.
However, after watching it for the first time, I have to admit it was actually entertaining and some parts of the film were actually …
The Bourne Ultimatum
The Bourne Ultimatum is the last and final chapter in the Bourne series. Also, in my opinion, the best of the trilogy. This last statement is saying a lot because I really LOVED the first two movies in the series. I though they were some of …

Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties
I admit to being a bit apprehensive when I checked this movie out, mainly because I had not liked the first “Garfield” movie. Mainly I had thought Garfield had acted a tad too mean in it. But to my utter surprise, this movie was a real delight to watch. …
Movie Hairspray
I watched the movie Hairspray this evening. This was the 2007 updated version. I have to admit that I did not really like the original movie. I did not expect too much from this version.
Hairspray is a musical/ comedy.
I have to say though in my opinion, …
Rambo, First Blood
I watched Rambo First Blood on video the other day and once again found myself enjoying a movie I’ve watched at least a dozen times before.
One of Sylvester Stallone’s best films ever, the movie is very well written and really makes you think about our Vietnam veterans and what …
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the holy grail of comedic masterpieces and quickly became a cult classic for a very good reason. This movie is filled with stereotypical British humor but it is presented in such a way as to not alienate international audiences. The jokes are …
Bratz Babyz movie
I’ve always said, if it keeps my daughter occupied, it’s a great movie. And, Bratz Babyz is one of those movies.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb plot. A bunch of toddler girls are able to wander a mall unsupervised without anyone noticing while trying to rescue their kidnapped dog. …
License to Wed
I didn’t know that License to Wed is a fun movie to watch. Unfortunately, I caught it on DVD rather than from the cinema itself, but it’s better than nothing.
This movie stars Mandy Moore (my favorite actress), and in this movie, she is known as Sadie. She …
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Movie
At the time of its release, it was an amazing film with wonderful acrobatics, animation and storyline…the characters were well casted also. Imaginative choreography with hand to hand combat and weapons fighting. It was the talk of the town then and it’s a great film to watch even now. …
Eurotrip Movie
I have probably seen Eurotrip a dozen times by now. It’s one of those movies you just have to see all over again. Love and friendship are perfectly combined in this excellent comedy which consists of a trip of a bunch of high-school graduates all over Europe.
The movie shows …
Mystery Men
There are times when you can take a cast of Hollywood stars and make a great film. And, there are times when you can do that and have a flop. The movie Mystery Men falls somewhere in between those two things.
This film, which is about a bunch of wannabe …

Shutter Movie
I have seen this movie last April,2008. I knew that it was a horror movie but I never thought that it would be such a shocker.
There was a newly wed couple traveling by car going to Japan, then the guy who was driving hit a woman …
Taken (2009) Movie
I heard about this movie from my dad, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it because my dad couldn’t stop talking about it! He said that it was a really good movie… and he was right.
I’m not a huge action movie fan. I’m more of a comedy and romance …
Falling Down movie
Michael Douglas leads an impressive cast in Joel Schumacher’s “Falling Down”, an interesting tale told out over the course of one day, as an average man embarks on a rampage as he tries to simply “get home”.
It’s an interesting idea, and an incredibly simple one, but don’t let …
Haunted Gainsborough

Gosford Park dvd
When I ran across this dvd at my local bargain shop for less than three dollars, new still in packaging I purchased it because I had heard from numerous sources that Gosford Park was an exceptional film. I had hopes of being at least mildly enetertained during this film.
Gosford …
War (Movie)
War is a movie that I was actually looking forward to seeing because I’ve recently become a big fan of Jason Statham. For some reason though I kept forgetting about the movie. When I saw that Blockbuster had previously viewed copies of the movie for about $5, I knew …
Sean Penn’s Indian Runner. A Movie
I watched this movie over at my parents house a few months ago and quite honestly I was not overly impressed. The movie was both written and directed by Sean Penn and released in 1991 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
The title on this movie is very misleading …
