Autopsy: Postmortem with Dr. Michael Baden (UR, 2008)
I must really be a morbid individual because I find documentaries about serial killers, crime scenes, and autopsies incredibly fascinating. Upon renting this one on Netflix, I was immediately intrigued. The mention of high profile cases was of extreme interest to me. And I liked …

Movie Bangkok Dangerous
The primary flaw with this movie, and it’s a pretty big one, is that it’s just plain boring. I don’t know how an action movie about an international hit man manages to make me fall asleep, but this one did. Twice. Nicolas Cage is at his blandest in this …

I love the first National Treasure movie. So, when they came out with the sequel, Book of Secrets, I couldn’t wait to see it.

Hannibal Rising

Big Man on Campus movie

Seven Pounds DVD
I rented the DVD ‘Seven Pounds,’ starring Will Smith and Rosario Dawson, fully expecting to see a romantic, heart warming story, much in the same genre as ‘Pursuit of Happyness;’ instead, I found it to be a mostly dark and agonizing tale, and even slightly creepy.
I do have to …
Constantine Movie
In the name of all that is horror…don’t waste your time or money with Constantine. It’s a joke, no, less than a joke, it’s utter rubbish. Keanu Reeves has gotten to be a tired, boring actor who NEEDS to add some spice to his roles/characters. The plot of the …

Joshua (R, 2007) movie

Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown movie
