I read and heard a lot of bad reviews about the new X-Men: Apocalypse movie. This was from both dissatisfied movie goers and fans of the comic, thus I just wrote it off as a bad movie initially and put it out of my head. However, when someone I knew …

I think that one of the most interesting movies that I watched this year was one named “The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio”. I had actually seen the movie name on display on my cable guide a number of times before, but I never actually worked up the interest …

A movie I never heard of and have never even seen in posters was downloaded by my brother to a DVD copy. It was supposed to be a thriller mystery movie, but it kind of left me wondering about the movie more than being able to understand it. 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. …

The Holiday is a romantic comedy that is rated PG-13 from the year 2006. It is rated PG-13 for sexual content and some strong language. The Holiday is 136 minutes long. The cast in this movie is unbelievable. The 4 main characters are Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, …

Pathfinder with Karl Urban, Moon Bloodgood, and Russell Means.
The location was somewhere in North America 500 years before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. The brutal Viking warriors came from Scandinavia looking for slaves. It is a simple story, but I found it to …

Well I laughed and that’s something. These are my thoughts on the Wes Craven movie Red Eye. I approached this movie with much trepidation. The last time Craven stepped outside the horror genre he made Music of the Heart. You surely understand my reservations. Red Eye however, is …

After watching The Witch last month, my anticipation in watching horror films grew more and more, not because I thought The Witch was a good film but because I realized, not all horrors are scary anyway. The Witch was very lackluster in providing the thrills, “relying on just the visuals …

Death Sentence is not rated by the MPAA, so if you buy this one, view it yourself before you let the kids see it. Kevin Bacon plays a father whose son is murdered and the murderer gets off scott free. Unable to reconcile himself to the fact, he sets …

I remember watching these two cartoon characters chase each other when I was a kid and now, years later, I find myself watching them again. Actually, I’m not the one watching it. My boy who is only 4 years old watches it all the time and there’s nothing any …

American Graffitti was all the rage when it came out, but it did little for me. In truth, I didn’t see it for a long time after the release, and it may have suffered from overkill. By that, I mean that there was so much publicity for …

Robert Mitchum starred in 1989’s Jake Spanner, Private Eye which had a unique opening of having Spanner dreaming and using excerpts from Mitchum’s movies as the dream. That was intriguing. Before the viewer has a chance to really chuckle and enjoy that, the credits start and, wow, …

One of the few adequate performances by Ashton Kutcher (who normally works a tired cliché part). Here he does an acceptable job (but not a great one) of portraying the main character who is able to move back in time and change the future. The movie is …

It is so difficult to say who is the ideal on screen partner for Hugh Grant. We have seen him act with such great female stars such as Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Renee Zellwegar, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Julianne Moore and Andie MacDowell. I believe he is ideal on screen partner …

I viewed Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on HBO. I found the fifth Harry Potter film to be the darkest of them. Possibly, because of Harry’s general anger in this film.
I actually liked the movie better than the book. I am normally the type …

The 1992 movie “Enchanted April” is a charming, almost magical movie about four women who vacation together in a villa in Italy. Lottie Wilkins (played by Josie Lawrence) and Rose Arbuthnot (played by Miranda Richardson) are two English women living in England shortly after World War I. The two …

I finally gave in and let my daughter rent the movie Scooby Doo Abracadabra Doo. I like the cartoon series, but I figured this movie would be a lot like some of the newer ones and get away from the whole monster is really someone in disguise plot.
However, this …

The Slayers is an anime set in a fantasy universe in which a sorceress named Lina Inverse raids bandit gangs and steals their treasure from them, while using her magic to literally blow them away. After one of these escapades, she meets the dashingly handsome but equally dimwitted …

“Revolver” is another dramatic movie where the director, Guy Ritchie team up again with the actor, Jason Statham. This is the third movie project they were involved together, although one must always mention that it wasn’t the most successful one. “Revolver” received heavy criticism from the press and it …

I am reviewing the movie, Going My Way, starring Bing Crosby. This is the prequel to the well popular sequel, The Bells of Saint Mary’s. The story follows Father O’Malley, played by Bing Crosby. He arrives at a church, with orders of the bishop to replace the …

I was looking for something to watch before bed last night. I wanted something along the horror movie line but also didn’t want something too scary because I didn’t want my wife having nightmares (really). After some thought, I ended up choosing the movie Dead and Breakfast.
The thing I …

Taken from the pages of the comic strip and the TV series, this live action movie has won me over. Richie Rich is the richest child in the world who has any and everything that he wants or needs. The only problem to that situation is that he is …

I can recall the actual events surrounding this little film. Quite frankly, I was surprised to even see something like this on Netflix. But since Hollywood will make a movie out of anything, I shouldn’t be that surprised. The true story centers around a young African-American …

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 …

With the current and ever-rising mainstream popularity of mixed martial arts, I am not at all surprised to see movies using MMA in their plot lines.
I only wish they would do a better job of it! Maybe use better actors instead of relying on “pretty”.
Never Back Down focuses …

Well Keanu Reeves is back again and I have to say he seems exactly the same. His acting skills being minimal but I try to get past that to watch the movie. The story for me was really complicated so I am just going to try and lay out …

Pulp Fiction (1994) is the second film from contraversial director Quentin Tarantino and is definitely a film masterpiece. Out of his 5 films, this one passes all the rest in both originality and clever dialogue.
The story is told in 3 different parts that all have something to do …

In my opinion this is the best comedy drama of recent years, many of you have already known the story plot it’s about a guy Michael Newman an architect (played by Adam Sandler) who come into posession of a remote control that can magically move life back and forth …

I think Corpse Bride was a great film. It was very dark and had lots of feeling in it. And it was a tale told in the classic Tim Burton style. I really liked the story and thought it was both very dark, yet very romantic. I really loved the …

Starring:
Zachary Bennett (Erin Wynn), David Huband (Dodd), Stephanie Moore (Cassandra Rains), Michael Riley (Jax)
Watching this show alternately petrified and fascinated me. Imagine seeing your skin flaking off while you are still conscious; or having your hands, legs and everything being sliced off by razor-sharp wires?
Wynn and Dodd were technicians, …

I am the world’s biggest Harry Potter fan (self-proclaimed). When I’d heard that J.K. Rowling was penning a screenplay for a prequel spin-off movie of the Harry Potter franchise, I was excited but unsure of how a movie without Harry Potter would turn out. However, David Yates, the director of …

This movie is the remake of a classic TV series that used to air in the 70s, or it had like a 70s backdrop to it. The story is about two families that marry into each other, on one side of the family you have a father with three …

I found this film really enjoyable, and a tearjerker too.
And in my humble opinion, a much better romantic comedy than a lot of Stiller’s recent outings - e.g. Along Came Polly, Meet the Fockers etc.
Ben Stiller and Ed Norton play a Rabbi and a Priest respectively. They are …

My fiance and I recently decided to sign up for Netflix. As you may know, it is a DVD rental service. You pick out which DVDs you want from the website (there is a massive list), and they send them to you. The number they send …

I grew up loving horror movies and so I have a special appreciation for the movie “Psycho” that was released in 1960. I feel that it is one of the best and most influential horror movies of all times, especially since I believe that it featured one of movies’ …

We watched this classic last week and were in awe of the production, acting and story line. Jean Cocteau directed Beauty and the Beast in 1947, so you know the movie is worth viewing. Filmed in black and white, spoken in French (but has English subtitles) with the best …

I didn’t get an opportunity to watch the movie Avatar at the theater and finally got a chance to watch it on DVD this past weekend. At the time we rented it, I figured it would be good but wouldn’t live up to all the hype. I was wrong. It …

I saw the movie Knowing last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after Raising Arizona. The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …

Whenever Hollywood produces a movie about superheroes that is successful at the box office, it isn’t unusual to see them attempt to make a sequel. Usually, the sequel is nowhere near as good as the original.
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a perfect example of this.
When I …
