Space Jam Movie
Here we go again, another movie starring basketball players trying to be actors…why don’t they just stick to what the do best, cause acting is not one of them. The enjoyment came from the animated charactes that gave the movie some glimmer of hope, but, not much. The theme …
Journey to the Center of the Earth
I went to see this movie with my mom as kind of a mom/son date before leaving for school. I had never really been to a 3d movie so I thought it would be a neat one to try even if it was a coined a “kids movie”. We …
Richard Scarry Videos
My little cousin loves watching Richard Scarry Videos so much, that I tend to buy him 1 or 2 videos whenever I see one. These videos are very educational, and they have songs and themes as well.

DVD Doctor Who —“ Beneath the Surface
I love classic old Doctor Who stories. I was born in 1974, the year that Tom Baker took over from Jon Pertwee, so have been really keen on finding out about earlier adventures, and these DVD boxed sets are great for that. This one contains 3 stories in total, …
Movie: The Comebacks
I got a longer lunch today than normal (to avoid working overtime) and ended up being able to watch a movie on TV. I came across the film the Comebacks, which I had seen before but, since I couldn’t remember much about it, couldn’t remember if I liked it …
Masters of Horror: the Deer Woman movie
this movie, directed by the team of Joe Landis and his son, was more of a comedy than horror movie despite being labeled as one of the masters of horror movies. The plot was very silly. It revolved around a strange death. A man in his …
The Fox and the Hound 2
The Fox and the Hound is a good film for me. I really find it enjoyable to see a movie about friendship and love. I love dogs that’s why I thought of watching this movie. Its really nice to see them singing. Although its just anecdotal in nature an …
Donnie Darko movie
The most refreshing american film from recent years was made by a young independent filmmaker named Richard Kelly. His style, both in the visual aspect and with the narrative, is like a mixture between David Lynch and something completely new. It’s a dreamlike film about the teenage boy Donnie …

Jackass 3 Unrated, Blu-ray Comedy film
For the third part in the Jackass movie series, Johnny Knoxville and his crew are ready to be stupid in 3D. Ah yes, 3D, the current crazy that doesn’t seem to be dying anytime soon. But that is fine with me because 3D gave us a new Jackass movie …
The Wicker Man (UR, 2006) movie
First, let the record show that I have no idea why this version was unrated. The original 70’s version seemed far more sinister and graphic to me. But I suppose in this day and age, filmmakers had to do something to get people to rent the DVD. …
When In Rome Movie (2010)
If you’re looking for a romantic comedy just like Letters to Juliet, then this movie is even better! This has so much comedic parts actually than romantic parts while the setting is set in the lovely country of Rome. The plot is actually about a girl (Kristen Bell) who …
Movie - I Am Sam (2001)

Adventureland movie
What an upset of a movie this was. I am surprised that I heard as many good reviews about it because I thought it sucked. I didn’t laugh not even one time during the whole duration of the movie. The movies is about a boy who just graduates from …
As Good As It Gets film
“As Good As It Gets” is a 1997 film with Academy Award-winning performances by Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. It is more of a character study than a plot-driven film, so be aware of that before buying or renting it. Not much happens in the movie. The …
Autopsy movie 2008
Autopsy is a film from After Dark, aka the famous After Dark Horrorfest films that release “8 films to die for” every year for the last few years. I generally find their films to be of better quality than the usual“B”horror movies that are available. This one …
The Hunger Games movie
As an avid fan of the books, I was absolutely horrified when I found out The Hunger Games trilogy was going to be made into movies. I never really felt that anyone would be enough to take on the role of Katniss Everdeen, and I just knew they …
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (Movie)
Percy Jackson and the lightning thief is a movie derived from the book of the same name. I have been a fan of Rick Rodian’s Percy Jackson series ever since I knew of its exsistance and so when I heard the movie was out I was really excited to …
“Phone” Movie 2004 from Tartan Asia Extreme
I rented this movie from Netflix because I had pretty much seen all the other horror ones on my list and had become bored waiting for new ones to come out. I had enjoyed foreign films in the past, and always found Asian horror to be different and interesting. Like …
The Incredible Hulk II
I just saw Incredible Hulk II and I don’t know really what to say. no words can describe how I enjoyed watching this film which was superbly done. The special effects, the digital enhancements are all perfect! When I first saw the trailer and found out that Edward Norton …

The Brat Pack
Some of my favorite actors of all time were from the so-called “Brat Pack” of the ’80s. There is some debate on which actors are actually considered part of the Brat Pack. The undisputed ones are of course Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelsom, Andrea McCarthy, Anthony Michael Hall, …

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
OK, maybe it’s because I’ve never read the comic book but this is probably the tenth time I’ve tried to watch the movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and, try as I might, I just can’t seem to get through the entire movie.
I’m sure the concept of a crime fighting …

Blue Jasmine (2013 Comedy-Drama Film)

Movie: “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (2008)
I had to see what all the hype was about. “Benjamin Button” was THE talked-about film of the year: critics raved about the film, and it was nominated for all kinds of awards.
The premise was strange and unique: a baby boy is born old, and grows younger throughout his …
ROPE-Alfred Hitchcock
Over-hyped, just like some of the Godard or Spielberg movies, this film too is rather carried off by the star-value of the director than the content itself. The very concept that the director has tried to work in the film (it was an experimental venture by his …
Girls from St. Trinians movie
St. Trinian’s is a “legendary” school for girls that is nothing like any other school you’ve ever seen. The Headmistress (played by brilliant actor Rupert Everett) will not comment on students throwing each other over the balcony, but she will yell to tuck their shirts in. Chemistry is all …
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island
I’m not normally a fan of Scooby Doo movies that don’t follow the classic format of the ghost really being someone in disguise. But, I will say I did like Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.
This movie, which has Scooby and the gang investigating a haunting on a Louisiana Island …

Walk the Line movie

Veggietales: Pistachio
As I often do, I spent some time Friday looking through Netflix’s Instant Watch section for movies I could watch with my two girls.
One of the movies I came across was the VeggieTales movie Pistachio. This proved to be worth watching.
The movie (which is essentially one of their TV …
Charlie’s Angels
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Charlie’s Angels. The last version I watched was the sequel, which I hated, so it was refreshing to see the original again.
While some parts of the movie are a bit dumb, this film, overall, isn’t too bad.
You have an all …
