Tonight was our family movie night and, since the only way I can ever seem to keep my daughter interested in a movie is by watching an animated film, I searched for a cartoon movie we could load on our Netflix player. That eventually ended up being the Fearless …

Dickinson Movie Theater Pittsburg KS
The Dickinson Movie Theater in Pittsburg Kansas is TERRIBLE! I have been attending there for many years now simply because there is no other theater in my area.
You walk in the front door, and it doesn’t seem to be a bad place. The front is well kept, and most …
Ex Machina - Science Fiction Thriller Movie (2015)
Ex Machina is by far the best movie I’ve watched in 2015. I’ve watched it twice in theaters because I just couldn’t get over how amazing it was. (Some spoilers below)
The story is about a young man named Caleb Smith who works for Bluebook, a popular search engine, almost like …
Film Basket Case
Considered by some to be one of the sickest films ever made, director/writer Frank Henenlotter’s Basket Case is also very inventive, scary, gruesome, touching, funny and disturbing cult films ever made against the most spindly of shoestring budgets.
Brining a wicker basket with him to Manhatten, Duane (Kevin Han Hentenryck) …

What Lies Beneath
What Lies Beneath is a very good movie. It is not really a supernatural story, but it plays with emotions, feelings, a bit of haunting feeling and lots of gutsy, instinct-feelings of a wife, in the end to realize that she is living with not just a cheating …
The Gambler- 2015, Drama, Thriller Movie
This movie is the remake of the movie “The Gambler” released in 1974 featuring James Caan. I watched this film only because of Mark Wahlberg, but I have to say that it was his one of the worst movie ever. It looks great on the paper because of its brilliant …
Birth (2004)

Step Up 3D Movie (2010)
This has got to be my new favorite dance movie of all times! My favorites movies before had been combined of Stomp the Yard and You Got Served, and the other movies that had tried to emulate them had failed, except for this one! This movie is a combination …

The Dead One movie
I came across a movie on TV the other day called The Dead One. I didn’t know a whole lot about it but it starred Wilmer Valderrama (Fez from That 70s Show) and I decided to record it and watch it later based solely on that.
Well, I finally got …
Iron Man DVD
I bought this on DVD today, for around $15 at Target. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure that Robert Downey Jr. could pull off the character of Tony Stark/Iron Man believably. Don’t get me wrong, he …
House of Usher movie 2008

Juno
I’ve just watched Juno this morning and I unbelievably liked it. It was good, in a quirk, unconventional way. The lifetime lessons were priceless same as with the laughter. It made a huge impact on me after I’ve watched the movie.
Juno is hilariously immature. It was such a good …
Mission to Mars film
Mission to Mars is a good film about a mission to Mars that goes awry. A rescue mission is planned, and that’s where the focus is for the majority of the movie.

I Walked with a Zombie movie
Another classic horror film, made back in the 1930s. Very subtle horror is it doesn’t really contain any violence or monsters. A woman travels to Jamaica where she learns of the strange culture called voodoo - the ability to control people using a puppet.
This woman experiences the most remarkable …
Masters of Horror: the Deer Woman movie
this movie, directed by the team of Joe Landis and his son, was more of a comedy than horror movie despite being labeled as one of the masters of horror movies. The plot was very silly. It revolved around a strange death. A man in his …
Quantum of Solace
The movie released in India today, and I saw the first show on the First day - a rarity for me, made possible however since it was a holiday!
My overall first impressions, “Pretty Good”

17 Again movie
The choice of actor Zack Efron to do the movie ‘17 Again’ really caught me by surprise. After finish working on the last movie of ‘High School Musical’, Efron declared that he wanted to work on movies with far more challenging roles. In all honestly, I found that there …
Come to the Stable movie
What a wonderful, inspiring movie Come to the Stable is. I thought I’d already reviewed it, but a check shows I haven’t. Shame on me because this is one of my favorite holiday stories. It makes me feel good inside, and the story contains the Christmas …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Yep, it’s another teen movie. But it’s not just another one of those typical ones. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is perhaps one of those movies that actually tackle something more than just the cliché jock/nerd romance. The story follows a recently heartbroken high school student, Nick O’ Leary. …
Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs
Valerie on the Stairs isn’t a very good movie on its own, and when you compare it to the other films in the Masters of Horror series, it looks even worse. That’s fairly sad considering the amount of talent in the movie. The movie centers on a main character …
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
I don’t think I’ve written a review for this movie yet. I love any Indiana Jones movies. Love them all. I wish they were more like 007 movies with more installments, but I’m glad there are 4. I must admit though that this movie was slightly lacking. The original …
The Town Went Wild movie
The Town Went Wild, a 1944 release, was a really ridiculous movie that was overplayed and just felt like a big glob of confusion. The film centers on two boys, young men really, of marrying age even, who are suddenly told that they were switched at birth and …
Happy Feet Movie
I’ve watched Happy Feet for about three times. It’s a fine movie, nothing special to me. Although lots of my friends think it’s a very funny movie. I can’t find anything so funny in the movie though.
It’s probably good for children, I don’t know, I can’t …
The Exorcist, movie
I still find the “Exorcist” scary, and it won’t matter how old I get, how many times I see it, or who I’m with when I watch it, It will always petrify me. The story holds up well among similar films, and time has been kind to the movie …
Day of the Dead Remake Movie
Day of the Dead is a remake and an updated version of the old George Romero zombie movie. I can’t take the approach that some horror movie fans did and automatically hate this movie because it doesn’t follow the rules based on his movies because I can’t really remember …

The Incredibles
This movie was, if you’ll pardon the use of the word, incredible. And believe it or not, it was not because of the animation. It was the story that made this film so likable. So good, in fact, that I almost wish it were a live action superhero movie …
