Quantum of Solace, in my calm, objecive opinion, was the worst piece of trash I have ever had the misfortune of buying a ticket to see. Many people have trashed Daniel Craig as the …

Remember the tv show Charmed? This was about three sisters who fought demons and struggled to build personal lives as well. I must admit, this is among my favorite shows. I have almost all of the seasons on DVD and I don’t let anyone in my family touch them …

Avenger Episode 3 begins with bounty hunters coming after Layla on orders from Lord Volk. Nei and Speedy are caught in the middle and have to escape being captured.
I didn’t really like this episode a lot at all. The problem with Avenger is that it tries to …

The Forgotten is a movie you will want to forget. Okay, in fairness to The Forgotten and the people who made the film as well as the actors playing in it, it’s not that bad. The Forgotten is a good rainy day movie where you can sit with your …

Desi Arnaz Jr. and Mike Evans starred in the production, with Arnaz …

Ben Affleck is certainly not one of my favorite actors. But he just might have me on being one of the better producer/ directors to get behind the camera. He cast his little brother Casey in this gritty role of a private detective who has been asked …

Even though it was made in the 1960s, there really aren’t many movies that compare in terms of actual horror to the classic film Night of the Living Dead.
I was watching it this morning for about the 10th time and have to say it is one of the most …

I have always been a fan of television show “The Twilight Zone.” The series, which began decades ago was always successful in creeping me out. I was thrilled when producers decided to bring the series back, and cast popular actors in the episodes. The …

I watched Shakespeare in Love on a whim, after seeing the trailer I thought it was a very well convincing trailer and that I should give it a watch. Well it exceeded all my expectations; I thought it would either be campy and cheesy, or dry and emotionally heavy. …

I watched the movie awake yesterday. It kept me interested throughout the whole movie. I didn’t want to stop watching it for anything. The thought of “anesthetic awareness” to me is scary. To think that you are going into surgery and you are not fully asleep and can still …

Toy Story 3 is the third installment in the long-running Toy Story series of films by Pixar and Disney. It centers around some of the main toys from the past two movies, such as Woody the cowboy and Buzz Lightyear the space adventurer, as they prepare for the …

This movie opened today, and it was a huge disappointment for me just as I had expected. The past Harry Potter movies were already quite disappointing as it didn’t stick to the book and I honestly think white lies were made as to who did this and who did …

“Nicholas Nickleby” starring Charlie Hunnam is a fairly decent adaptation of Charles Dickens’s novel, although a lot has been left out due to time constraints. Mini-series work much better to translate Dickens’s 800-900 pages long masterpieces to the screen.
Charlie Hunnam plays the 18 year old Nicholas, a young man …

When I was younger, I read Ira Levin’s “The Stepford Wives” in its original novel form. I found the entire concept of these too-perfect housewives and this picture-perfect town to be very creepy, in a really fun, dark sort of way. So I was rather excited when “The Stepford …

I actually saw the movie Highlander after watching the television series first. And, I’ll admit, it ended up being a bit confusing the first time around. But, after watching it a second and third time, it turned out to be a halfway decent movie.
The film, of course, is what …

Shia LaBeouf starreer Disturbia is a really well directed thriller movie. I recently watched the movie on DVD and I must say I loved it very much. The movie had all the elements in a right mixture and this makes it a very good thriller movie. The best thing …

I used Netflix for 2 years. I started the free trial and ended up keeping the service. I loved the convenience of not spending gas to drive to the video store and spending a considerable amount of time picking out a good movie to watch. I especially liked that …

I found this “The Secret” to be quite ridiculous, a tad boring, and totally unrealistic. This “movie” generated much hype a couple of years ago and, like most, I fell for it all and ran out to rent it. BIG mistake. It spends two agonizing hours …

The new Bring It On movie is now All or Nothing because it came to DVD without the theartres part. The DVD came out on August 8 2006 as a new movie to those cheerleader fans. You already know the plot of the movie, so what about the special …

The Outsiders is a classic film based on a well-read and popular novel by S.E. Hinton. This book-turned-movie focuses on two opposite social groups, basically the haves and have-nots. Regardless of what era life is in, this movie is relevant because the two groups always exist. …

“The Ice Harvest” is a black comedy with the actor, John Cusack in top form. What I found interesting about this movie is that it is based during the Christmas season but there is not a lot of Christmas spirit, unless one is referring to alcohol.
The story of this …

Being a big fan of Tom Cruise, I decided to visit multiplex to watch Valkyrie on the very first day of its visit. However, the film disappoints me by its approach and the way screenplay has been managed by the director.
The biggest disappointment for me was the acting of …

Ugh. I hate the title for this movie even more than I hate the movie itself. And what surprises me is the amount of parents that let their kids watch something with the title ‘Mean Girls’. It’s not such an awful movie; I guess. It’s your typical high school …

This is quite simply my favorite movie of all time, and that is saying a lot considering how many movies I have seen. This is one of the few films that I personally think is flawless. Indiana Jones is the best character to ever hit the big …

OK, maybe it’s because I’m not a huge Nick Nolte fan but I just can’t seem to get the movie Mulholland Falls. When it first came out, it looked entertaining. I like thrillers that make me think and thought this film would fit that category. And, having some A-list …

Prince is one of the most multi-talented performers in the world. Acting, however, is not one of his strongest points. However, as Hollywood history proves, an actor doesn’t particularly have to be all that talented, if audiences like him.

Seth Rogen is my all-time new hero. I love that he’s shlubby, because his dry sense of humor makes him seem more attractive than he actually is. In any event, this is the whole premise of the movie “Knocked Up.” Catherine Heigl portrays Allison, …
