Kick Ass Movie (2010)

Spirited Away animation
“Spirited Away” presents remarkable detail in the way of animation. The creator of the animation is Hiyao Miyazaki. The storyline itself is highly imaginative. Suffice it to say: much goes into proper animation of a movie. During the process sometimes there is a tendency …
Movie Emma
This movie is as charming as funny as it is romantic, and it is another film based off of one of Jane Austen’s works. The colors are lovely, and the characters all are just as I would have imagined them after reading the book. It is very accurate, and …
His Private Secretary movie

The Call of the Wild, film (2020)
On the whole, I liked this film. It is kind, heartfelt, sincere, and even touching in some places. But the plot is not devoid of sins, clichés, and too simple script decisions. I know that the movie is based on a novel by Jack London. Let me tell you right …

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (fantasy movie)
When I first saw the trailer for “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones”, I already figured out that the movie wouldn’t be very good, but I was still curious to know what it would be about. Later on, I found out that the movie was actually based on one of …

Looney Toons: Back in Action- the movie
I sometimes enjoy watching children’s movies, especially when they have some wittiness and humor aimed at adults. Looney Toons: Back in Actio was a really fun movie, and appropriate for both children and adults. The movie featured Looney Toons characters such as Yosemite Sam, the Tazmanian Devil, Marvin the …
Nell movie
Nell is the film where award-winning actress Jodie Foster first tries her hand at directing, so I thought it should be worth watching. It has such a weird premise; a woman is raised without any human companion and brought up in the wild. The lady of course …

So I Married an Axe Murderer
I’m not a huge fan of some of his later Austin Powers movies, but I have always thought Mike Myers was a bit underrated when it comes to his films. That’s why I took the time to watch one of his first movies again; “So I Married an Axe …
Sweet Revenge, 1998 movie
It does not happen very often that I cannot sit through a movie; however, that was the case with Sweet Revenge, 1998, also known as The Revengers’ Comedies, starring Sam Neill and Helena Bonham Carter. I couldn’t finish watching it. The plot summary provided on the back of the …
City Beneath the Sea movie
One of my very favorite made-for-TV movies is called City Beneath the Sea from 1971. It’s not a great movie in the scheme of Emmy winners, but it is a star-studded affair that has drama, romance, and mystery. I love it and find it to be a …
Movie: The Crazies
Even though we already had a movie to watch this weekend, my wife insisted on renting another one called The Crazies. She said she had heard from a friend that it was very good.
Well, I think her friend has a weird taste in movies because I definitely disagree with …
Kung Fu Panda
I saw ‘Kung Fu Panda’ a few days ago. The first thing that hit me as soon as the movie started was the awesome graphics. This animated movie brings together Jack Black(Po), Dustin Hoffman(master shifu), Angelina Jolie (Tigress), Ian McShane (Tai Lung), Jackie Chan (Monkey), Lucy Liu (Viper), Seth …

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is a fun movie to watch, but it’s not nearly as good as the previous movie, Godzilla vs. Biollante. This movie isn’t as dark as the previous two and actually features some campy scenes that are a bit reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s movies. …

The Strangers (2008)

TRON: Legacy Movie
TRON: Legacy has gotten much criticism for its messy plot, yet I had a hard time discerning what exactly some critics found so confusing. Having been a fan of the 1982 original, I found this film to be a fairly successful sequel, and a unique story on its own. …
I Am Number Four - Teen Psi-fi Movie
I took my 11 year old son to see “I Am Number Four” on the weekend, not expecting too much; and was surprised by this movie. It is your typical teen movie featuring a boy-likes-girl scenario, social issues and some type of major obstacle to over come. …
Fracture
Anthony Hopkins has played so many villains, I think I have lost count. Here he appears as one again, intelligent, scheming, cold-blooded - just the way you like him. The movie “Fracture” (released in 2007) drew me in from the start, and from the start I knew it was …

Shrek the 3rd
When I heard they were coming out with a third Shrek movie, my gut reaction was the producers were going too far and there was no way they could strike gold a third time. That�s why I avoided seeing it in the theater.
This past week, when it came out …
Movie: Precious
I have seen advertisements for the movie Precious in the past and, from what I saw of them, I figured it would be a movie I would have absolutely no interest in. That’s why it never made my Netflix Queue.
However, my wife told me she wanted to watch it …
The ring two (movie)
