I don’t know what it is lately, but it seems, whenever I rent a “comedy” it turns out to be a good movie but it is horribly mis-classified.

Coming from the mind of Neil Simon, 1968’s The Odd Couple was a pure delight. Simon created two opposing characters in Felix Unger, a photographer, and Oscar Madison, a sports writer. Unger was neat to an extreme, while Madison was the king of mess. Having these …

Stories of the underestimated seem to resonate with us as a culture. When we see an underdog overcome great challenges before them, it becomes a story that becomes personal for any individual. Film has presented this archetype since its creation. Rocky, Forrest Gump, and the Mighty …

Far better than Oceans 12, Oceans 13 is a fun movie. This movie is as filled with celebrity as all of the other two Oceans movies. Full of double and triple crosses, this is as much a move about conmen as robbery.
The problem that I have had with every …

We have just finished watching “Bleak House,” the almost 7 hour long adaptation of one of the 900+ pages long masterpieces by Charles Dickens.

This film is a thing of beauty, a joy forever.

I already knew …

I am completely and wholeheartedly in love with this film. And that’s because this movie is all about satire and parody. But what is even more enticing is the the subject matter. Politically incorrect in its delivery, this movie is really a tongue-in-cheek “guide” for …

Since we have access to free movie channels for a couple months, I’ve been taking advantage of it and watching films I haven’t seen in a while; including the movie Zoolander.

This mega flop of a movie starring the ever lovable funny man Eddie Murphy failed to deliver on the hype that was promised, and overall, the entire movie did not even manage to make back the money they spent as budget to turn over a reasonable profit, but hey, …

I admit I did not have any desire to watch this film ever since it was announced Mel Gibson is seating at the director’s chair. Plus the idea of another war movie is exhausting to think about unless your name is Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk will be released this year and …

Over the Hedge is more then just an animated movie about a Hedgehog. Even though it’s rated PG, I think that it is one of those movies with the type of humor in it that virtually any adult can relate to and enjoy! Some of the humor …

Ruby is a very spooky and very demonic movie. If you get scared easily, then it’s better that you don’t watch Ruby. Ruby is about spirit mediums and demon possesion. It’s a very dark and sinister type of film. Another thing about it, is that it’s a very old movie …
