The Ten Commandments Movie
The story of Moses who goes to fetch the ten commandments on the mountain of Sinai in Egypt. Great actors like Charlton Heston, John Carradine and Edward G. Robinson bear this story on their shoulders, a film which I honestly found quite boring. I am not a religious man …
Cake Eaters movie

Live Free or Die Hard
WOW! It’s the only word I could find once I watched this new Die Hard movie for the fifth time. I couldn’t honestly believe how incredibly good it was. I thought Bruce WIllis was too old to pull off that officer McClane roll again. But, then again, people laughed …
Last Holiday 2006 movie
I’ve seen this movie a couple of times now; it’s decent. I don’t think it’s one of those movies that you think of and then you HAVE to see it, but it’s a pleasant movie to watch if it happens to be on.
Some of the acting is pretty good, …

“Balls of Fury” (2007 Film)
The 2007 film, “Balls of Fury” film that was supposed to be a comedy proved to be anything but. I normally enjoy comic films that are like this one, though this film was not very funny to me. Something about this film did not really catch my funny bone …
Erin Brokovich Movie
In my opinion, Erin Brokovich is by far the best movie Julia Roberts has ever made. It’s great to see her star in something much more relevant and worthwhile than so many of her other offerings.
It tells the story of (no surprises here), Erin Brokovich, who is a …
The Brood movie
A crazy scientist is creating an army of freaks in this supernatural horror film by David Cronenberg, perhaps one of the most disgusting films I ever saw in this genre, but also one of the most overwhelming. The tension is slowly built up and culminates in a macabre final …

‘There will be blood’ is a good English movie. But it is also rather sad to watch this movie because the movie shows the exploitation of the lower class. Directed by Paul Thomas, the movie is a grim one. The main actor has performed well. It is not possible …
Resident Evil Apocalypse movie
Resident Evil Apocalypse is the second phase of Andersson’s work, linked to the successful game title Resident Evil.

Halloween II, 2009 Horror film
It bothers me how bad Halloween II is. Rob Zombie took a good thing he had going with his first movie and just decided to messed it all up. At times the movie felt like an action flick with horror elements. Calling this a straight-up horror movie is a …
Movie: “The Toy”
This Richard Pryor classic is as hysterical today as it was at its 1982 release. The laughs never stop; even the slapstick comedy is so well-done that it had me laughing out loud.
Master comedian Jackie Gleason plays a wealthy businessman who promises his spoiled son any toy he wants. …

Film: American Gangster

National Treasure: Book of Secrets
After three years from interpreting the role of Benjamin Franklin Gates, Nicholas Cage returns in this role with the sequel “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”. I believe that this role for Cage represents what Indiana Jones was and still is for Harrison Ford.

Waydowntown movie
I rented this film because the premise, I thought, was great: (4) employees at some drab corporate company make a wager on who can remain indoors (the entire downtown “hub” is connected by a series of enclosed walkways) for 6 months. It seems like a quirky, …

Movie Waterworld
For some reason, my husband loves “Waterworld.” I love my husband, but I loathe and detest this film.

Doghouse Movie
The undead, infected, and zombies have been in every independent horror, comedy, and even action movie as of late. If you have a laughable budget then it must be written somewhere that you have to make a movie like this. At least Doghouse takes the trendy concept and adds …
