Slap Shot
The best ice hockey movie ever made: Slapshot. Made in 1977, this was not considered a Hollywood blockbuster, but rather a “B” rated movie. The only famous actor in it was Paul Newman.
Back then, professional hockey in North America was ferocious with teams full of goons and fighting. But …
The Wicker Man (UR, 2006) movie
First, let the record show that I have no idea why this version was unrated. The original 70’s version seemed far more sinister and graphic to me. But I suppose in this day and age, filmmakers had to do something to get people to rent the DVD. …

The Shepard Border Patrol
I admit that I haven’t watched a lot of Jean Claude Van Damme’s movies. If I have to see a bunch of men jumping, kicking and screaming, I choose to see it through a comic aspect, so I go for a Jackie Chen movie. I broke my rule for …

Last Man on Earth movie (1964)
One thing I’ve always had a soft spot for is post appocalyptic films, and the 1964 version of the movie “Last Man on Earth” is just that. In fact, the first thing it reminded me of was the most recent version of the movie “I am Legend” starring the …

Last Days movie

Movie : She’s All That (1999)
I have a pretty good and fair deal with my wife as far as movie watching goes. She will watch just about anything with me, which is usually a lot. And every now and then I have to sit through a chick flick type of film with her. Over …
Just My Luck movie
Lindsey Lohan isn’t exactly a star that draws me to a movie, so when we got Just My Luck from Netflix I was a bit skeptical about it.
Overall though, it was a pretty good movie.
Lohan plays a woman who is extremely lucky but ends up giving an unlucky guy …

A Dead Calling
A Dead Calling is the kind of movie that I would only watch as a last resort, or because it was cheap. In my case it was a little of both. My local video rental place was clearing out some of their older movies, and I managed to grab …
Disney’s Lady and The Tramp

World War Z, movie
I wasn’t expecting a lot from this film. And I have to say that this film met my every expectation of it being a predictable and humorless blockbuster. Zombies chomped their teeth when you expected them to, cars crashed when you expected them to, and Brad Pitt played the …
Final Destination 5 (movie)
Final Destination 5 is supposed to be the final installment of the series, and hopefully for movie goers such as me, the studio actually means it. This film was probably the second worst movie of the franchise with its predictable plot and obvious scene transitions in the movie.
The movie …
The Last of the Mohicans movie
A great depiction of the classic novel by James Fenimore Cooper, directed by great visionary filmmaker Michael Mann who shows he’s not only good for gangster movies. A visually breathtaking film, but it also hits my heart on an emotional level. This is a lot thanks to the great …

Blues Clues Big Musical

All of my four kids have watched Blues Clues since they were old enough to watch a video. I really think …
Juno film

Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set
Like its predecessor from the year before, the Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set has a DVD layout that I really despise because of the inconvenience involved in selecting a DVD to watch and also the potential for harm to come to the DVDs.
What Universal has done with …
Movie : Teen Wolf (1985)
Going through a bit of a retro phase lately has made me notice just how much the overall movie industry hs changed over the years. And after re-watching the Michael J. Fox movie TEEN WOLF I hate to quote such a common saying but ‘they just don’t make them …
Devour movie
Sometimes Hollywood comes up with a unique idea for a film only to have it suck because of poor execution.
The movie Devour falls into this category.
What can I say, the idea of an online video game that causes people to commit murder and then mutilate themselves is definitely something …

A Night To Remember movie
A Night To Remember focuses on the night the Titanic went down. I have seen both versions, and I prefer the old one, and am reviewing that movie here. Even though it is black and white, I think that A Night To Remember, made in 1957, is the best …
What’s Up, Doc?,a movie (comedy)
This 1972 comedy only gets funnier as it ages. Ryan O’Neal plays Dr. Howard Bannister, a musicologist who comes to San Francisco to attend the annual convention where he hopes to win a scholarship for his studies of the musical potential of the igneous rocks (yes, that’s right - …
Knocked Up The Movie
I was fortunate enough to be able to see this movie in the theatres and I loved it. I don’t agree with the message it sends to its viewers but I found it funny and entertaining just the same. And here’s why you should watch Knocked Up.

Meet the Spartans

Thor The Dark World Film
What happens when the gods lose their power to something more powerful and ancient than themselves, something primal - the complete darkness? “Thor :The Dark World” is a film in which I think that the team of Marvel reaches a whole new level in their skills… Expertly served storyline …

Memoirs of a geisha
If there is one book on a cultural setting that I like the most, it would be “Memoirs of a Geisha” by Arthur Golden. Aside from its compelling story, its precise-to-detail description of the flower and willow world in Japan is superb.
“Memoirs of a Geisha” is set in 1930’s …
Dark Ride (R, 2006)
Again, we have yet another slasher film that attempts to “defy” stereotypes that have existed in the past. Ok, well—perhaps the writers and directors weren’t really trying to defy anything. In fact, this type of movie has been done over and over and over and …

Tekken (2010) Film
Is the 2010 Tekken movie a proper tribute to the game it was based on? Or will it follow the footsteps of the vast majority of movies based on video games and simply—¦ well, suck?
