Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle
“Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle” was supposed to be the sequel to the previous Charlie’s Angles movie “Charlie’s Angels” which was released in the year 2000. I found I liked the sequel much less than I liked the previous movie for very many reasons. One of those reasons was that …

The King’s Speech (2010 film)
Of the few titles that emerged from the oscar nominations, I highly favor “The King’s Speech.” It is my favorite. I’ve been watching movies in my free time, and it gave me a timely opportunity to watch the movies nominated at the academy awards. The King’s …
Underworld: Evolution
It has been a couple of years since I saw the movie Underworld. So, when the sequel, Underworld: Evolution, came on television last night, I had some serious catching up to do.
Overall, I would say the second film in the series is the better of the two. The plot, …
The Grind
The Grind is a work out video. It is fifty minutes long, and it includes a warm up, cardio, then a cool down. I like the grind in a way, as I love to dance, and this video teaches you a new dance routine. But the grinds dance moves …

Comedy; Kenn Kington; I am Dad

Despicable Me Movie
Rarely am I interested in movies, so it always comes as a surprise for me if I’m interested in watching a movie for a second or even third time. Despicable Me was such a great movie that I now have it on a regular weekend rotation. This movie, starring …
Don’t Look in the Cellar (Trailer, 2009)
Normally, in the first paragraph of a review, I try and proved information such as the stars, director and such. This time, however, that task became untterly impossible, because although this is a trailer, I can’t find word one about anything else related to this film. Now …
Little Man movie
I am not a fan of the Wayans brothers, their juvenile humor is too disgusting for my taste. However, I chose to see the movie Little Man, mostly because I found the idea of a full-grown man playing a midget (with some computer-generated help, of course) rather curious. Well, …
The Green Mile
I have heard of the movie The Green Mile before. But, I have never taken the time to watch it because I figured it would be like another Stephen King movie/book; The Shawshank Redemption.
My wife decided to watch it again on Saturday though so I had a chance to …
You’ve Got Mail movie
You’ve Got Mail is one of my favourites all time romantic movies together with Sleepless in Seattle and While You Were Sleeping. The main actors in this movie are Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan who team up once again together after making Sleepless in Seattle and Joe versus the …
Alien 1979 Movie
I’m not a fan of horror films. I get scared far too easily. So, when I was a child, I liked scary movies even less. Movies likes Jaws, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elms Street were at the top of my list of movies that flipped me out. …
Return of the King movie
I am reviewing the last installment of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings series, The Return of the King, which was released around 2003. This is by far my favorite in the series. This movie focuses on Frodo’s continuous battle with the ring’s power on him, the power of …

Komodo vs. Cobra (KvC) (2005) Movie
This is a very excellent monster or creepy animal picture. From the beginning the movie held my attention and didn’t let go until the end. There are two giant monsters in this movie: a komodo dragon and a cobra. Both are fast and deadly, although the komodo had a …
Shrek Forever After (2010)
This latest sequel to the Shrek movies proves once and for all that multiple sequels are a bad idea. The movie is not as entertaining as it’s predecessors, and it becomes downright boring in many parts. While watching the movie Shrek Forever After, I get the sense …
V for Vendetta: Movie
I feel that V for Vendetta is a very good film that is based on what I feel is an excellent topic.
The storyline of government rebellion is something that I’ve always been interested in, so a film like this was great for someone like me.
One of the things I …
I’m not there - Bob Dylan
This movie is a very abstract and interesting one and if you’re into Bob Dylan, you won’t be disappointed. Theres a few different characters which represent different aspects of dylans life. Theres the Wandering Child, the troubled Relationship, The Aloof/Distant Bob, and the Star/Media Bob. This movie starts off …
Ice Princess, movie (2005)
Disney films can be characterized by the epithet “fairy tale.” And The Ice Princess is no exception: a simple, somewhat naive plot. A schoolgirl heroine, a kind of “Cinderella” who is bound to become a star at the end. There are very few movies about sports, per se. In …
It Takes Two movie
Mary Kate and her sister Ashley Olsen star in the movie It Takes Two. This movie reminds me a little bit of a classic Disney movie called the Parent Trap. Except that the man in this movie is a rich tycoon who made it big on making money from …
Dark Shadows by Tim Burton (2012)
The last thing I want to watch in a movie is another self-defying Johnny Depp playing just about any grotesque role Hollywood throws at him. Well I wound up watching just that, and the current addition to Depp’s collection of fantasy characters is Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows. …
Movie: “Europa Europa” (1990)
“Europa Europa” from Central Cinema Company is a 1990 movie in German, Russian, Polish, and Hebrew. It was filmed in color on locations in Poland and lasts 112 minutes. I turned on the English subtitles and was able to fool myself that I understood the German portions.
The movie “Europa …
Romeo and Juliet Movie (1996)
If I wanted to read Shakespeare, I would, but if given the chance to watch Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in the big screen, I would certainly choose that instead.
When Romeo and Juliet movie came out in 1996, I really got excited because it stars Leonardo DiCaprio (who is really, …

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016 Thriller Movie)
I did see the trailer for the movie 10 Cloverfield Lane around the time that it was released in theatre, but I forgot about it soon after I guess because it wasn’t exactly memorable for me. Months later, I saw that same movie listed as one of the best thrillers …
Ruthless People
I recently watched the movie Ruthless People on cable and I really loved the movie. It is a pure comedy movie. But the comedy is just smart comedy and not cheap comedy. This movie has Danny DeVito, Bette Midler in the main roles and they are really good at …
Movie Car Wash
I like to watch movies from the past because it’s a way for me to step into another era, get lost there, walk around and leave with a dialect and mind set unlike what’s heard these days. Sometimes I become nostalgic of the 70’s, even though I wasn’t born …
Bloodsport (movie )
While I like some action movies, I generally do not like those that include the actors Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Segal since I have noticed that while these movies are usually jam packed with action scenes, they also usually have the same cliché characters and these action movies …
Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna movie
This made-for-TV movie tells the story of Anna Anderson, a woman who claimed to be Anastasia, the daughter of the last Russian czar Nicholas II. Whether you believe that Anna Anderson actually was the Grand Duchess Anastasia or not (the movie is built on the premise that she was), …
A Little Princess,1986
This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part I” (2011 Film)
Ever since Harry Potter books first touched bookstores, people across the world have been falling in love with the magical world that the creator of the book, J.K Rowling has created. Once these novels started hitting the big screen, it was almost impossible to escape the mass madness of …
The Hangover 3 (movie)

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
For some weird reason (maybe it’s Sean Connery) I actually prefer the last of the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Last Crusade, over the other two. I�m not sure why though because, when you think about it, it brings more of the bad stuff from the other two than the …
