A Dog’s Breakfast movie
A Dog’s Breakfast surprised me a great deal because while it was as warped as I suspected it was, but it was also somewhat enjoyable. I didn’t like some of the more graphic parts and the innuendo that resulted, but as a whole, it was oddly enjoyable.
I’m not …
In Her Shoes (2005 movie)
This is yet another movie where you must ask the question of “What were they thinking?”. This movie is sleep, snore, drool…boring. It is supposed to be a Comedy/Drama, but I am yet to see where the comedy is or has gone. I’ve come to expect so much better …
Eden Lake - (starring Kelly Reilly)
Just one word to sum up Eden Lake that I’ve watched: gross. I don’t think that Eden Lake is a true story and if there are, who would in their right mind breed kids like those fanatic murderers and torturers in this movie story. I get disgusted by …
The Creeping Man
I am reviewing The Creeping Man, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1985/1986 by Granada television. This episode introduces Science Fiction into Sherlock Holmes. A woman hires Holmes after being terrified by some sort of monster who …
Blessed movie
I just got finished watching the movie “blessed” on lifetime movie network. It was an alright movie. Overall I didn’t really care for it that much. I would have rather watched something else. The end was pretty good though. The whole movie was alright, the end was the best …
Chain Reaction
I just can’t help it. Whenever I see Keanu Reeves in a movie, regardless of how good it might be, I instantly have flashbacks to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and, no matter how hard I try, I can’t take him seriously.
This was the situation when I sat down …
Gone Baby Gone
Wow. Where to begin with this film. I admit I was a bit nervous about Ben Affleck’s directorial debut, but all of those trepidations were washed away within the first ten minutes of the movie. The story opens with the kidnapping of a little girl and the …
Contraband, movie (1980)
Many film fans likely know Lucio Fulci as a director of some of Italy’s goriest horror movies. Oddly enough, he started out directing comedies before hitting it big as a horror director, breaking out with 1979’s Zombie. On a few occasions, Fulci made films in other genres …
Wayne’s World
I gotta say that Wayne’s World is a pretty good movie. It is one of my best memories of the past. I think the movie was really funny and very crazy. I think Wayne was a very funny character. The movie Wayne’s World really captured the essence of what the …
Blade of the Vampire movie
This movie should not be confused with any of the movies in the Blade trilogy. In fact, that is how I actually watched it since I made the mistake of thinking that “Blade of the Vampire” was actually one of them. However, after watching it I was very disappointed …

The Expendables movie
“The Expendables” (2010, rated ‘R’) starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li is a terrific action movie perfect for those of us old enough to remember when the original “Rambo,” “Die Hard” and “Terminator” films were in theatres! “The Expendables” is like ‘old home week’ with lots of …
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 …
Eclipse
I have read all of the Twilight series books by Stephenie Meyer. I have also seen all three of the movies that have been made from the books. Eclipse by far is my favorite of the three. The acting in it was much better than in the first two …
Paul Mooney: Analyzing White America (NR, 2002)
I had seen Paul Mooney’s other comedy DVD and was quite pleased. Ordinarily, I like Mooney’s brand of sarcastic humor, and his blatant and frank opinions about the state of society. However, this DVD, which delves deeply into issues concerning white people (and their differences from other …
Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
One of the many vampire vs. werewolf movies that have graced the silver screen, New Moon rates among one of the better attempts. It had a good blend of romance, action, and suspense, while not overplaying the supernatural card. The mixture was good, but and it added …

I went to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine in cinema, having already seen the previous X-Men movies and being familiar with the comics and animated series. And I was definitely impressed.

Norbit (movie)
Norbit was the most funniest movie ever. The main character Eddie Murphy who played several of the characters in the movie did an awesome job in this one. He played an orphan that was abandon by his parents at birth and was drop off at someone’s door. He was …

Happy Face Murders
Just by looking on the title of the film, one can be able to tell that it is not something to be taken seriouly like a normal thriller or suspense movie would. However, when I first saw the movie was when I was over my relative’s house one Saurday …
Futureworld Movie
This is a sequel to Westworld, where human-like androids populating an amusement park had gone wild and began killing the guest. Now, several years later, the creators of the park have re-opened it, claiming that all the issues are taken care of and the park, Futureworld, is perfectly safe. …
The Pursuit of Happiness
I had put off watching the movie “The Pursuit of Happiness” for a very long while as I thought that it was going to be a tragedy. I do not like movies with sad ending as even though they do not make me cry, they tend to disturb me …
Silent hill Movie
Silent hill is based on a very sickening, disturbing and horror story, something that most people like to see now adays and a kind movie that is very rare. Previously Silent hill was released as games and in japan in the form of comics aswell. I just went mad …
The Smoking Room movie
This show follows a group of smokers from a run of the mill office building in London. Each episode is shown in real time, the thirty minutes we see told continuously. The action never veers away from the smoking room itself, instead characters come and go.
It’s a simple …
All the King’s Men
I wasn’t able to see “All the King’s Men” with Sean Penn when it went through the theatres, but look forward to seeing in on DVD. I recently watched the 1949 version with Broderick Crawford and loved it. It’s in black and white, a medium that is used far …
Movie Mothman Prohecies
I like to watch movies a lot, that is one of our favorite pastimes. One of my favorite actors is Richared Gere. He played this characther John Klien in the Mothman Prophecies.
John lost his wife in an accident and he is haunted by her memory. He …
And The Little Dog Laughed - Garrick Theatre
And I laughed too. A lot.
This a surprising, fun, funny, touching play. It is a bitingly satirical look at Hollywood stardom. That makes it sound somehow predictable and dull - but I assure you it is far better than the synopsis.
It stars Rupert Friend as Mitchell, a Hollywood actor …
Dawn of the Dead
What many people do not understand is that there are two versions of “Dawn of the Dead”. There is the one from 2004 which I have based my review on, and then, there is the one from 1978 which I have not watched. Dawn of the dead (2004) …
Barry Lyndon Movie
Stanley Kubrick is one exception of a filmmaker who actually was just as popular with the audience and critics with almost all of his films. Despite that fact he was never a commercial director and always but the artistic vision before the entertainment. Barry Lyndon is slow, poetic retelling …
Apocalypto
Apocalypto is one of the best jungle chase movies I have ever seen. It has humor, suspense, and non-stop action. It is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it at least ten times. The movie starts with a group of natives hunting a taper. A taper is …
Movie Home Alone 2
The 2nd installment of Home Alone, is in my opinion, the best. Kevin McAllister, after getting on the wrong plane, heading to New York, is separated from his family, who are headed to Florida for the holidays. While in New York Kevin uses his fathers credit cards and …
The Green Hornet (movie)
One of the movies that I watched recently was an action and adventure movie called “The Green Hornet” that starred the actor Seth Rogen, and an Asian actor who did not seem familiar to me. When I first saw the movie trailer on youtube earlier on this …
“Fracture” starring Anthony Hopkins
“Fracture” is a 2007 color movie from New Line Cinema and Castlerock Entertainment lasting 113 minutes. Normally I’m a big fan of Castlerock that often produces movies that have some connection to Stephen King such as “Hearts in Atlantis” starring Anthony Hopkins and based on the book by King …
Man on Wire movie
There is just no words to sum up how I feel upon watching Man on Wire. It is such a gripping documentary type of movie that tells about this man by the name of Phillippe Petit whom literally walks on wire. He walks between the Two Towers (the …
Creature From the Black Lagoon
I remember seeing a photo of this creature in a monster magazine and remarking how scary it looked. Well it was not that scary in this classic film. I liked the opening scene in which it explained the Big Bang theory and leading up …

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs the Movie
So I’m sure many of you have either read the book “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” either in your own time, or to your children. I myself, being only a recent “adult” can quite easily and fondly remember the days of curling up next to mom and …
Gary Busey
I always watch movies and I have many actors to appreciate each time.
Most people would express their admiration to actors who are also admired by many and usually renowned worldwide. But I would like to let people know that I appreciate Mr. Gary Busey who played the role …
Stormbreaker movie
The best way to describe this movie is a modern time Indiana Jones teen movie. This film is based on the famous book of Anthony Horowitz but there seems to be a bit of a difference between the book and the movie version.
What I found interesting in this movie …

Return of the Jedi
In the third installment of the original Star Wars triology was the Return of the Jedi. I think that this was one exciting movie.
Our list of charachters return with Luke Skywalker now a full fledged Jedi, and part of him, his arm has been replaced with …
In Too Deep (1999)
This movie is about a drug lord who is so in control of his area and surround areas that they refer to him as ‘god’. Without any hard information on him, the authorities cannot touch him and that makes him what they call ‘untouchable’. But they are not going …
Internal Affairs Movie
I expected it to be a good and interesting movie. I like cop stories and I like Andy Garcia. But heck! What an absolutely dragging movie! For a cop movie in Hollywood, there was just too much talking. I could barely keep my eyes open.
Richard Gere’s character was too …
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Lethal Lifestyle movie
