The New Daughter Movie (2009)
I like Kevin Costner, and I like horror and suspense movies as well, so my mother and I watched this on DVD and during the first parts I thought it was scary, but it depends really on a person because I do scare easily! I found the plot to …

The FBI Story is a really wonderful movie starring James Stewart as a man who decides to become an FBI agent. He has high ideals and he wants to act on them. These are the early days of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and through Stewart’s character, …
Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Rust Never Sleeps
Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Rust Never Sleeps is a great, classic movie for all lovers of rock and roll. I adore Neil Young and consider him to be one of the greatest musicians ever. Neil Young’s guitar sound is like no other, as is his voice. Rust Never …
Red Cliff
Red Cliff, directed by John Woo, has lots of stars including Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Fengyi, Chang Chen, Hu Jun, Lin Chi ling and Zhao Wei. The budget for this show was incredible. With an estimated of US$80 million, it was made the most expensive film to be …
The Prestige (PG-13, 2006) movie
This was an interesting movie. Not quite what I expected. But since I love Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman–so that in and of itself warranted a viewing. However, this is a story that is relayed with care and precision. But I will admit that certain …

In Death of a Hollow Man, …

The movie Shark Boy and Lava Girl
I think that just about everyone remembers Sky Kids and Sky Kids 2. It seemed to be really popular for awhile and then just died out. It as not long after Spy Kids 2 came out that the previews for Shark Boy and Lava Girl came out.
Let me …
The Dark Knight
Just having watched the movie “The Dark Knight”, I’d say Heath Ledger is a wonderful actor! He did a great job pulling of the character of Joker in the movie. He is brilliant, and I always knew he is a good one when I saw his previous movies, but …
Christmas in Connecticut Movie
Christmas in Connecticut is an old black and white movie that is so good and so funny. It stars Barbara Stanwyck and Dennis Morgan. The movie is about Elizabeth Lane, the country’s most loved food writer and house wife. She writes an article in a magazine about foods she …

Werewolves, Vampires and Zombies dvd
I like some of the classic horror movies, so when I got this dvd from someone I was expecting more of a few of those from the nineteen thirties, forties and sixties. However, when I looked on it I realised that a lot of them were old horror movies, …

Dracula 2000 movie
The only disadvantage about this movie which I remember is that I thought the movie should have been a little longer. A part from that it is one of my favorite vampire movies. The movie has no old, or middle aged man playing the role of Count Dracula and …
Sombrero movie
It’s been years since I’ve seen Sombrero, and unfortunately, I just found it by accident just before it started so didn’t have time to put on a videotape or I would have. The reason being is that it introduces Rick Jason, who is an actor I always loved …

Silent Hill (2006 movie)
I’m quite the horror fanatic, especially when it comes to video games. Thus, I am quite the Silent Hill junkie. I absolutely love the games (with the exception of Homecoming and my minor dismays with Shattered Memories) and play them all the time.
Now, when I first saw the movie, …
Hot Rod (the movie)
Hot Rod is surprisingly hilarious! I thought this would be a dull humor flick, but I found myself laughing through 90% of the movie. Its a comedy about a 20 something year old guy living with his mom and stepdad aspiring to be a stunt man. …

Without a Paddle is a movie which follows the lives of four friends who grow up together. As kids they planned a trip and were very anxious to get together and go on a treasure hunt. As all kids do at that age, their imaginations ran wild at the …
One Million Years BC movie
The appeal of the movie One Million Years BC can be boiled down to two points: Dinosaurs and Raquel Welch in a leather bikini. (Depending on your tastes you can determine which of those two points is the more important). Beyond that, well, there’s not much to …
“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader” film
I am a huge “The Chronicles of Narnia” fan. I remember it as being the first book series I ever read.

Population 436
Once again, a movie I’ve never even heard about before turned out to be a pretty good thriller for our weekly movie night.
When I came across Population 436 on my movie channels Wednesday night, I had no idea what it was. But, I was a bit tired and didn’t …
Richie Rich
Richie Rich was a very good movie that came out in the 1990s. It is based off of the TV show that was a cartoon. But this movie is all about the real life Richie Rich. It it basically the same story as the old cartoon TV show, but much …
50 First Dates (movie)
Can you ask for a sweeter film than 50 First Dates? Not at all! Adam Sandler as Henry and Drew Barrymore as Lucy are just too cute together! Lucy and her father had an accident a year ago and Lucy can only remember things one day at a time. …
Kung Fu Panda
Kung Fu Panda is a movie about a panda (no surprises there) named Po who aspires to become a kung fu warrior.
Not surprisingly enough, the new blockbuster from DreamWorks, was an enormous sucess. The usual deal from DreamWorks, high quality animation (great details), funky characters, occational gags… …
Columbo: Undercover movie
In Columbo: Undercover, Ed Begley Jr guest stars as Irving Krutch, insurance investigator. We get 5 minutes of him in this offbeat role. He wore me out and he bore me at the same time. I lost interest in his shenanigans in his overdone storytelling. …
Oceans-movie (2010)
Last night, my best friend and I went to see the movie Oceans and I have to say that it was pretty good! I would totally recommend going to see it, especially if you like not only Hollywood, but also documentary type of movies. You will enjoy learning about …

Forever Strong
There used to be a time when I loved sports movies like Remember the Titans or We Are Marshall but then I came to realize they are all the same; they use some sport to teach kids confidence and give a quick lesson about life.
I had hoped the movie …

The Break-Up (movie)
As much as I like Jennifer Aniston, I did not at all enjoy The Break-Up. I had read a bad review before seeing it in the theater, and I didn’t want to see it. The reason I did end up seeing it was that the movie I …
Josie and the Pussy Cats (2001)
This movie is about a group of girls who came together to form a musical band. Similar to most movies that sport the music theme, this one is no different, I mean, you’ve seen one movie about music bands, you’ve seen them all. There are basically no real differences …

Ghost World (drama movie)
Ghost World was one of those films that I was always hearing good things about but never really took the chance to watch. I never read the graphic novel either, so I couldn’t have given you the first clue about what what it was supposed to be like, although I …
Movie: Castle of the Walking Dead
A few days ago, I was looking at new movies available for watch on our Netflix Instant Watch service and came across an older movie called Castle of the Walking Dead.
I had never heard of this movie before. But, it had Christopher Lee in it and sounded somewhat interesting …
Patton (1970)
Long winded speeches hold no candle to this 1970 film about a General who knows how to win and to also motivate all in his command to have the same mentality. Taking charge is a talent that so many have but very rarely make good use of it, unlike …
Back to the Future
I was a teen when I’d first seen Back to the Future, and I was stunned, just like many other viewers, I’m sure. Time travel was not a new movie theme even back then, but I don’t think anyone had done it this way before: sending the character not …

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is latest movie to come out and the fifth installment of the Harry Potter franchise. In my opinion, this is the best movie of the franchise. A HUGE improvement from the mess that was Harry Potter and the Goblet …
Step Up movie
Step Up: yes please do. Step up the acting, step up the writing, step up the score. Above all, step up the dancing. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie, and I like cheesy dance movies. The lighting was incredibly unflattering throughout the entire running, the acting was …
Till the Clouds Roll By movie
Till the Clouds Roll By is a highly fictionalized account of the life and career of composer Jerome Kern. The sad part of this is that Kern was apparently willing to provide information for this movie, but he died before it even went into production. Thus, because …
Separate Lies, (R, 2005) movie
Every once in a while, I get the hankering for a good old fashioned film about love, marriage, and all that other heavy stuff. Reading the synopsis of this film, I thought that the intrigue would be deeper, that the sex scenes would be more “visually gratifying”, and …
Orlando movie
Orlando, 1992, is one strange movie. Orlando, a young nobleman and poet in 16th century England, is told by Queen Elizabeth I to never grow old and never die. He does exactly that - and more. Not only he goes on living through centuries without aging a day, at …
Pride and Prejudice (2005 Film)
Before watching the 2005 film, “Pride and Prejudice” assumptions where made about how the film would be boring and dragging on for the entire two hours and nine minutes that would be spent watching it. I had honestly assumed that it would be similar to all other great love …
Reaper comedy
Reaper is a light-hearted hero genre comedy this show is entertaining though a bit shallow. It seems that Sam’s parents signed a contract with the devil giving him their son’s soul. Well, the devil puts him to work as a catcher of evil souls …
Cursed (Theatrical Version)
CURSED (Theatrical version)
This cinematic hairball was released in two versions on DVD: R-Rated and unrated.
I’m not sure what the difference is between the two because I saw this mess in theaters and have absolutely no desire to muddle through it again, in any version.
Wes Craven’s first werewolf film is …
Horror Express movie
I was digging through our movie cabinet a couple days ago (trying to find my daughter’s missing Nintendo DS) when I came across the movie Horror Express.
To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t even remember picking up this movie. I think my wife bought it for me from …
The Bridge To Terabithia
First of all, I liked this movie. It is not just a typical children’s movie because it really touched my heart. I think there are so many lessons that can be learned from this movie like improving self-confidence, importance of friendship, and believing in talents. The actors are all …
