The Amazing Spiderman (movie)
Even though I originally had no intention of watching the new Spiderman movie because I’m a huge fan of the previous ones, I eventually changed my mind and watched it recently. Up to a few minutes before I still had some fairly low expectations of it, for me to …
Scoop movie
Scoop is a comedy atypical for Woody Allen. A comedy situated on the border between Allen’s specific black comedies, a classic romantic comedy and a mystery thriller. Another unusual element in Scoop is Scarlett Johansson, who stars in my opinion in one of his best roles. She is a …
F/X, 1986 movie
F/X, 1986, starring, Bryan Brown, Brian Dennehy. Very suspensful movie here. From way back in 1986, this thriller is still great to watch. Special effects master, played by Bryan Brown (also starred in cocktail), is hired by the feds to help fake the assassination of a mob godfather. …
The Mangler movie
It’s a movie about a killer washing machine. Really, what more do you need to know?
It’s based on a short story by the master of horror himself, taken from a collection called “Night Shift”. Despite the goofy plot, the story actually works pretty well. Heck, as …
Total eclipse
I have watched the movie ‘Total eclipse’. The director is Agnieszka Holland. The actors are Leonardo DiCaprio, David and Romane. This is not so interesting to watch and has been shot rather poorly. David has played the role of Paul verlaine and Leonardo has played the role of Arthur.
It …
Signs (movie)
I really enjoyed watching this movie and have seen it twice or maybe even three times. I really liked it and think it was a really good movie. Everyone that I know that watched it liked it. I wouldn’t say it’s one of the scariest movies I have seen …

This mini-series was such a pleasure to watch. The story is based on a novel by George Eliot. The title character, Daniel, supposedly an illegitimate son of a wealthy English aristocrat, was raised like a gentleman. He is a well educated young man who has plenty of money, but …
Clue movie
I am reviewing the movie, Clue, starring Tim Curray. This movie is based off of the board game, Clue. Who did it? With what? Where? When? These are the main questions one has to ask. Was it Mr. Green, Colonal Mustard, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. White, …

Raiders of the Lost Ark
OK, as far as Raiders of the Lost Ark is concerned, it�s a great movie in terms of action sequences and special effects, but the script leaves a little to be desired.
The first in the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Raiders of the Lost Ark has a slightly harder task …
Viva Las Vegas DVD
“Viva Las Vegas” is one of my favorite Elvis Presley films. I’ve wanted it on DVD for a long time, so last week was able to acquire the Deluxe Edition.

Splice (Movie) 2009
I was really intrigued with this movie “Splice” that I finally decided to see it for myself. I have been putting off seeing it for the longest time because my husband did not want to watch it. I finally had the time of day to see it finally.
Splice is …
Elvira Mistress of the Dark
You have to be at least my age to be able to remember Elvira hosting B-rated horror movies on television back in the 80s. However, kids can gain an understanding of her character by renting her classic movie, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb movie. …
Just My Luck movie
I was given free tickets to a premier showing of “Just My Luck,” starring Lindsey Lohann, so a male friend of mine and I went to see it. Every teenage girl within a 30-mile radius seemed to be at this premier. Some of them even managed to drag …

The Water Diviner, Movie
The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth.

Movie Shrek 3
I loved the first movie of Shrek, and my family and I watched over and over again. Too funny! WE also saw Shrek 2 and I thought that the movie was good, which is pretty crazy for a second. Usually second movies are not worth the money that you …

Werewolves, Vampires and Zombies dvd

Walking with Monsters: Before the Dinosaurs
Walking with monsters: before the dinosaurs, is a fascinating documentary. It is divided into three sections, each one covering a different time period. Each half-hour documentary showcases creatures that lived many years before the dinosaurs evolved. The show was fascinating, absolutely riveting. I like it better than …
Mirrors film
MIRRORS starring Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Cameron Boyce, Erica Gluck, Amy Smart, Mary Beth Peil, John Shrapnel and Jason Flemyng was a great movie. I do not know if I should classify it as a horror, thriller or suspense movie, but I can classify it as a must see …
At Point Blank movie
A swedish “action” film about a team of bank robbers and how their actions finally lead to death. I am thrilled to see this kind of garbage from the swedish film industry today. This is probably the worst piece of junk I’ve ever experienced in swedish cinema. The whole …
The Kids Are All Right (2010 Comedy-Drama Film)
I have been following the Academy Award seasons for three years now. Most of the time they nominate my favorite films of the year. And sometimes, during my early stages of paying attention to the nominated films, I was able to discover beautiful gems that I wasn’t able to see. …
Hide And Seek
Hide And Seek was shown on my local TV channel and if it’s acting by Robert De Niro, I always make it a point to watch. This movie also sees the little kid, Dakota Fanning (think she had acted with Tom Cruise as well), I give this story 10 …
Let sleeping corpses lie movie
Italian director Jorge Grau’s unsettling British based zombie movie is one of the most chilling zombie movies in the genre, due to the fusion of horror styles the director incorporates in the film. Grau supplied the blood and guts excessiveness that defined the underground extreme Italian style splatter fests, …
The Mississippi Gambler (1953)
Unfortunately, they rarely show “The Mississippi Gambler” on television much nowadays, but, when it does come on, I consider it a personal treat, since Tyrone Power is one of my favorite classic screen actors.
In this movie, he plays Mark Fallon, a skilled riverboat gambler from an old …
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
Ok, I’ve heard the song enough this holiday season to make my head explode. But, I have to admit the animated movie based on Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer was actually pretty good.
The movie, which I didn’t time but believe is about an hour long, basically gives …
Galaxy Quest
Let me start off with saying Tim Allen isn’t my favorite actor and I was unsure about this movie when I heard he was in it, but after seeing it and laughing most of the way through, I thought he acted pretty well. I had to do a double …
Meet the Spartans (2008)
This movie is a spoof of the Frank Miller’s telling of the tale of the Spartans, the movie known as 300. Basically everything from start to finish about this movie is similar to 300 with the exception of that it’s a pun of the movie. In addition, almost everything …
Tekken (2010) Film
Is the 2010 Tekken movie a proper tribute to the game it was based on? Or will it follow the footsteps of the vast majority of movies based on video games and simply—¦ well, suck?
I gotta say, from the time I saw the trailer, I never expected this …
Movie Blast
When I came across the movie Blast on one of our movie channels the other night, the first thought I had was “I’ve never heard of this before.” My second thought was “Eddie Griffin in a drama? Are you kidding me?”
I originally wasn’t going to watch this movie but …
Machete (2010 film)
I want to preface this review by saying that this is one of my favorite movies because it embraces what it is. It is an action movie that focuses primarily on the action. This is the type of movie that you watch solely for entertainment value. It is not …
We’re No Angels (movie)
For a comedy film, the movie We�re No Angels really doesn�t produce many laughs.
Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn put in a valiant effort, but the weak script and the even weaker concept really doesn�t work. You can only make so many jokes at the expense of the church …

The Corpse Bride Movie
The Corpse Bride is one of my favorite animated films ever. This movie really makes you feel the power and emotion in it. And with Johnny Dep playing the main character you know you are in for one wild ride. It was very cool to see some of Johnny Dep’s …
Dumb and Dumber Dvd
Dumb and Dumber is the funnies movie ever written in my opinion. The comedic timing is spot on and keeps you laughing from the first minute to the last. The jokes are all based on how dumb Harry and Lloyd who are best friends are. They are mostly simple …
