Mini’s First Time (R, 2006) movie

The Alphabet Killer
I came across an Eliza Dushku movie “The Alphabet Killer” on our Netflix Instant watch list last night and, because I have yet to see her in a movie I didn’t like, figured it would be worth watching last night. It also helped that it had Cary Elwes in …
Persona movie
Regarded by many as Ingmar Bergman’s best film and also one of the best “art” films ever made. It is a complex film about dimensions, simply put, where two women is the center of Bergman’s focus. Liv Ullman and Bibi Andersson portrait two very different women, one of them …
Jackson Masters The Lovely Bones movie
I don’t think I’ve ever felt so uncomfortable and so gripped by a movie as I did in the first hour of Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones. Considering I pretty much knew what was going to happen, I’d say Mr. Jackson should get all the credit he deserves.
Truly a …

Movie: Penelope
“Penelope” is a small-budget movie that was apparently released sometime in 2008, although I do not remember any advertising for the movie. Anyway, my wife and I rented it this past weekend. It was a surprisingly charming ‘modern day fairy tale’ staring Christina Ricci and James McAvoy. …

Separate Lies, (R, 2005) movie
Every once in a while, I get the hankering for a good old fashioned film about love, marriage, and all that other heavy stuff. Reading the synopsis of this film, I thought that the intrigue would be deeper, that the sex scenes would be more “visually gratifying”, and …
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 …

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
I had watched the first Transformers movie and enjoyed it, so I was hoping to enjoy its sequel just as much. I usually like movies with Shia LaBeouf, known for his dry sense of humor. However, this movie fell very short of my expectations.
I found LaBeouf’s character Sam …
November Man (thriller movie)

The movie catches the common viewer’s attention rather quickly. I’m someone who has a hard time getting into movies which don’t take off quickly.. and this movie is a classic example of the complete opposite.

Troops movie
A parody of both Star Wars and Cops. On the desert planet of Tatooine, a team of stormtroopers is having a tough time keeping up law and order. It doesn’t sound like a great idea and it certainly doesn’t look like it either. Parodies tend to exaggerate too much …
