I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …

I bought this on DVD today, for around $15 at Target. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges.

Just to prove that I really am over 50, I own Disney’s “The Fox and the Hound” on a VHS tape! I play it at least once a week because it’s so cute, but not more often than that because I don’t want to wear out the tape.
The …

I normally like Disney’s animated films. That’s why, when I saw their movie “The Wild” this past weekend, I was extremely disappointed.
Overall, the movie wasn’t bad. But, the plot did seem to be a bit re-hashed. It was almost like Disney combined elements of the movies Lion King and …

When this movie came out, I wasn’t really sure if I’m going to watch it or not. I am not a very big fan of teen-age movies as I am not a teen-ager anymore. But since I admire Amanda Bynes so much, I decided to give it a try.
Here, …

I enjoyed this movie a lot. The concept is unique–what happens when one person in a group of friends is in a drastically different socioeconomic status than the rest of them? The characters were both believable and interesting at the same time. I liked how Jennifer …

True to the series, this movie delivers just as much gore and gruesome murders as the previous five movies. However, this movie is not a sequel to the popular series but rather a prequel. As the title suggests, this movie delves into the beginning of the Hewitt family’s murderous …

Where It’s At is another movie from the sixties about the generation gap, in an odd sort of way. In truth, I don’t like this movie. It’s just a little too off-beat for me. I didn’t like the characters, I don’t like their evolution, and there’s not …

I decided to watch this movie because the trailer seemed to be an interesting story and because the actor, Dermot Mulroney had the main part. I must say that although it is a good movie, it isn’t as great as I imagined.
So what went wrong with this movie? I …

Normally, when I see a movie that has Drew Barrymore in it, I enjoy it tremendously.

This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …
