Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) was a great homage to all the cliff hanger serials of the 1930s and 1940s. It was another blockbuster for the 1980s and was 1981’s biggest box office hit. It helped to solidify Spielberg as one of the top directors in Hollywood and …

Some films are mistakenly advertised as fantasy movies - and you expect to watch these movies with that fairytale-ish ending you thought you deserved but instead you end up crying your heart out because of just how sad they are. I remember watching a 2007 film called Bridge to Terabithia …

Adam Sandler was ridiculously funny as always. I loved him in this film so much. He lived out some of our greatest fantasies. At least once, we have all wished that at a click of a button we could change something. Well, Adam Sandler actually got the chance to …

I had heard of this film when it first came out…a low budget Christian movie about a high school football coach and his team. This movie turned out to be so much more than that. If you are a true believer in Jesus Christ, then this movie …

“Desperado” was one of those films which I had put off seeing for a very long time. Even though I did not know what it was about, I somehow felt that it might resemble too much of one of those Stephen Segal flicks I hated watching. I also was …

The “Cold Lazarus” episode of Stargate SG-1 is one of my favorites because it gives us more insight into the character of the lead character, “Colonel Jack O’Neill” as played by Richard Dean Anderson. Here, we meet the colonel’s estranged wife, “Sara” who is elegantly acted by Harley …

I am reviewing the movie, A League of the their Own, which was released in 1997. Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Madonna are just a few big stars that acted in this incredible movie about the first ever woman’s baseball team. Tom Hanks plays Jimmy Dugan, who in …

Apt Pupil is a chilling and frightening movie based on a novella by Stephen King. The novella, a long short story or mini novel, appeared in the book Differing Seasons. Although the screenwriters of the movie changed the ending, it was very faithful to the original story.

I think Rowan Atkinson is an actor who would deny his audience nothing. Whatever the need may be even if the scene requires him to go naked (but he only would not allow himself into frontal nudity), he would do it. But despite that, his personality as …

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, …

Out of the three original films, many cite this as the weakest of the bunch. They say that this was the beginning of the end for the Star Wars franchise.

I got a chance to re-watch the movie Batman Returns last night and have to say, I can now understand why that installment of Batman movies went downhill in a hurry.
The first Batman, starring Michael Keaton, is still one of my favorite movies. This sequel to that movie wasn’t …

“Born Yesterday” is a 1950 Columbia Pictures black and white production provides 103 minutes of great fun. Locations shots were filmed throughout Washington D.C. “Born Yesterday” is, to quote the tagline, “a perfectly swell motion picture!” If you are one of those people who is hypersensitive to political correctness …

One of the most astounding films I have watched in recent months is The Cure directed by David Gould. This film unveils a dangerous thought that has probably crossed some of our minds, if not all, at some point in our lives. Has the cure for cancer been discovered …

So even if we fundamentally look at about the same kinds of movies, some …

Once again Denzel Washington has outdone himself. This compelling store left me in awe. He was definitely a man on a mission that took no prisoners. I had never imagined him in such a role as this before. I had always seen him in such light hearted roles. The …
