A Beginners Guide to Endings movie
I am reviewing the 2010 movie, A Beginners Guide to Endings, starring well known actors Scott Caan and Paulo Costanza. The movie is a comedy/drama and shows how people react in tight spots. Everything starts with an old man commiting suicide. He is ashamed of what he has done …
The Stepford Wives (1975)
I am not reviewing the terrible 2002 remake of this movie with Nicole Kidman, but the 1975 original, directed by Bryan Forbes. I watched this movie as a kid and found it really sinister and it played on my mind afterwards. Now I have just seen it …
The Passion of the Christ
The Passion of the Christ made me cry buckets of tears. I’m a devout Catholic but only after seeing this movie did I truly come to realize God’s love for us (He gave his only son to save us from our sins). Directed by Mel Gibson, this controversial and …
Them!
My daughter wanted to watch a movie with me yesterday but I was getting a bit sick of cartoons. I ended up making her a deal. I told her I would watch a movie with her but it had to be the black and white horror movie “Them!” She …
Denver the Last Dinosaur
Denver the Last Dinosaur is a great cartoon about a dinosaur who lives in the modern world. He is a very friendly and cute dinosaur. I really liked this show because it was a very happy and cool show. Denver the Last Dinosaur is one of the best cartoon characters …
When Harry Met Sally
When Harry Met Sally was one of Meg Ryan’s old movie. I like her so much as an actress that’s why I bought a DVD of this movie. At first I was skeptical if it was a good movie. I was able to watch it so my verdict is …
Better Than Chocolate movie
Over the weekend I caught a really good movie on HBO. It is called “Better Than Chocolate.” The movie caught my attention because it is about lesbians. I haven’t seen vary many movies made from the other perspective so I decided …
A Scanner Darkly [movie]
I just went to see the film “A Scanner Darkly” and I thought it was brilliant. The story is a cautionary tale about drug addiction. As such, it deals with a lot of material not appropriate for children, but could also be considered an important film for youth and …
The Incredibles movie
I am reviewing the Walt Disney movie, The Incredibles. This is one of Disney’s newest films. So there are these super heroes. They save the world day after day. They are called Incredibles. They are a sub species of their own, kind of like the X Men. …
Norbit movie
Norbit was advertised as a “family film”. At least that’s what i got from the commercials. Right from the beginning, the movie throws completely crude one liners. While I found them absolutely hillarious as an adult, i found it a little inappropriate for the children in …
Serious Moonlight Movie (2009)
Serious Moonlight is a movie that aspired to be so much more than it actually ended up being. It had an amazing cast on board: Justin Long, Kirstin Bell, Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton, and they have done a really good job. But the plot, starting the concept level …
“I Love You Man” (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “I Love You Man” starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segal was absolutely hilarious and actually had some meaning behind it. I would definitely recommend this film to those who are looking for a dose of comedy on movie night.
Peter, (Paul Rudd), is about to get married …
The Witch (2015 Horror film)
As soon as I saw the trailer and began to hear a lot of good reviews about it, I searched long and hard for the 2015 movie “The Witch”. I’m a huge supernatural horror movie fan, and so the excitement was contagious. I found it on blu-ray and I expected …
Movie: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
My wife decided to have a night out with her friends Friday night and, since I was left home with the kids, I decided to take advantage of it and spend some quality time with my two girls.
My youngest was in bed shortly after my wife left (she gets …
The Postman Always Rings Twice movie
This film hasn’t got anything to do with postmen at all. It’s a story about jealousy and murder with Jack Nicholson in the leading role. The film didn’t manage to engage me in its story for some reason, even though I think both Nicholson and Jessica Lange are very …
The Holiday DVD
The Holiday is a romantic comedy that is rated PG-13 from the year 2006. It is rated PG-13 for sexual content and some strong language. The Holiday is 136 minutes long. The cast in this movie is unbelievable. The 4 main characters are Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, …
Addams Family Movie
The bizarre Addams family awaits their beloved uncle Fester to return from his travels. What they don’t notice when he arrives is that crooks have taken his identity for mysterious purposes.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 1
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a franchise reboot of the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime that came out in 2003-2004.

Untraceable
“Untraceable” is a nail biting movie with Diane Lane in one of her best roles. What is so interesting about this movie is that it has a slow beginning but, later on, it peaks up in a fast manner with a heart beating ending.
“Untraceable” is about Jennifer Marsh (Lane) …
Bee Movie
Cute movie, very out there, but the children love it. I would say it would be a great movie to add to ur collection especially if you have children. I can’t say I think Jerry Seinfeld’s voice matched the bee. I would like to see more of a younger …
In the Name of the King A Dungeon Siege Tale
The best way to describe “In the Name of the King A Dungeon Siege Tale” is some where in between “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” and “The Last Legion”. Some described it that it has certain similarities to “The Lord of the Ring” trilogy.
This movie is about …
Creepshow 3
The 3rd movie from the Creepshow saga. Im a big fan of the 1st 2 creepshows but this one was horrible. The movie contains 5 short stories , “Alice” which is about a spoiled brat thats caught between 2 universes using a demonic tv remote, “The Radio” a talking …
Nim’s Island, adventure-fantasy film
Walden Media hasn’t really changed movies with some of their movie adaptations of their famous novels. There seems to be more buzz around the actual title than the movie itself, which doesn’t sit well for movie goes. Is Nim’s Island going to suffer the same way just all the …

Brooklyn (2015 Film)
Brooklyn is one of my most anticipated films of 2015. Particularly because of the huge buzz it made when it premiered in this year’s Sundance Festival and every audience and critics who attended loved it very much!

Monsters versus Aliens Movie (2009)

A film about the life of stand-up comedian Bill Hicks. Interviews with friends, family and colleagues are mixed with actual re-creations of his private life and authentic material from his live shows.

Braveheart
Braveheart is one of my all time favorite movies, I have seen it at least ten times and I am still not tired of it. Braveheart is full of action, romance, and passion. But the best part of the whole thing is that it is based on a true …
Movie: Backwoods
My wife and I were watching the movie Wrong Turn last night on the SyFy channel when they advertised their film Backwoods. Naturally, I assumed this would be their version of Wrong Turn and didn’t think it would be any good. The only reason we didn’t switch the channel …

Dirty Dancing
How often does a movie come along that you can watch it 5 times in one day and not ever get tired of it? I think the music is what makes this movie so good. And of course, the dancing. And Patrick Swayze. Oh my goodness, he is gorgeous …
Movie: The Crazies
Even though we already had a movie to watch this weekend, my wife insisted on renting another one called The Crazies. She said she had heard from a friend that it was very good.
Well, I think her friend has a weird taste in movies because I definitely disagree with …

“Dawn of the Dead” (2004) Film
Though it still rates as a “B movie,” Zack Snyder’s 2004 remake of the 1978 Romero cult classic still rates as a smart, mostly consistent, and occasionally humorous film. I wouldn’t finger the movie as being a turning point in the zombie genre, but it’s certainly a high point, …

Clueless with Alicia Silverstone

This movie is a great family movie to watch, it is an inspiring movie for children for giving them an idea of not giving up to what they are not good at but to find other talents that they are really passionate about.
