I’m not really sure why but whenever Robin Williams is in a drama, I just can’t take him seriously. The Night Listener was the perfect example of this.

‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …

Yesterday, after months of anticipation, I went to the movies and saw Shrek the Third. The big green ogre is back, ugly as ever; his manners haven’t improved much, despite living at the royal palace, but his wife Princess Fiona still loves him. Fiona hints that she would like …

I saw ‘Watchmen’ at a local IMAX theatre and the film really scores a 100% rating for presentation. It’s slick, glossy and packed with imaginative set pieces and special effects. The story on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. I never read the graphic novel by …

I’m not going to lie. I thought Ocean’s 12 was absolutely terrible! Ocean’s 11 was, in my opinion, a very solid movie, that I thoroughly enjoyed. So when the third in line of the sequel was announced, I was a bit skeptical. But, nonetheless, I …

Billy Madison is one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. It is incredibly funny to watch, and it has you laughing the entire time. The movie was made for people who laugh at corny jokes. If you are not one of those people, you will not like the movie.

Regal Natomas Marketplace 16 is the only theater near my house. Its located right on the boarder of a bad neighborhood. I would never go to this theater at night by myself. There is a rough crowd that hangs around it a night. The theaters always smell really bad, …

I have to admit, outside of Wayne�s World and Wayne�s World 2, I haven�t seen many Dana Carvey movies. But, after watching his film, Clean Slate, I think I�m going to have to see more.
Granted, Carvey wasn�t overly convincing as a private investigator. He just didn�t seem tough enough, …

Queen Latifah and funny man Steve Martin come together to try and bring the house down for their viewing audience and guess what? They did a wonderful job, I have no complaints about this movie for two very important reasons 1. it stars very believable characters and 2. it …

“Mr Woodcock” is a good comic movie; however I personally would have preferred that the main part went to a different actor rather than Billy Bob Thornton. In this movie, Thornton tried to interpret “Mr Woodcock” to his best of abilities, however while watching this film I couldn’t help …

I haven’t really been a fan of “The Hunger Games” movies for a very long while. As a matter of fact, while I don’t think they are terrible I’m one of those people who would describe it as being “a tad bit overrated”. However, it was curiosity more than anything …

I liked this movie. It’s another movie from Roland Emmerich, which I consider to be the master of disaster movies the likes of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow. Apparently, he produced and directed this film for Columbia Pictures, which is of course owned by the …

Quentin Tarantino shocked the world with this daring film from 1992, that seemed to appear out of nowhere back then. It is a story told in flashbacks about a gang of criminals doing a big job on diamond theft and fails. One of the members is an under cover …

Before renting Ironman, I expected it to be a cliché, super-hero, comic-book movie. Even though I love anything Robert Downey Jr. does, I didn’t expect this role to show off his brilliant acting ability. I was wrong about that, and I really enjoyed this action movie, because it actually …

The Reeds is one of this year’s AfterDark Horrorfest movies, of which I try to watch as many as possible since they tend to be of a little better quality than most lower budget horror genre films.

For Colored …

This movie, We Own the Night, is not one I would normally watch under any circumstances were it not for the fact that someone sent it to me. Never turn down a trusted freebie, as I always say. However, it’s crude from the get go, and that’s …

Comedy about a team of nerds who decide to team up in a dodgeball competition and defeat their rivals. That’s the whole plot of this film so it doesn’t really leave a lot of room for thought. The humor is of a kind that don’t appeal to me at …
