The first movie I watched was entitled The Secret of the …

As movie musicals go, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is unsinkable. It’s a marvelously well done movie with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell in the leads. As for being biographical on the real Molly Brown, many liberties were taken. We get a wonderful happy ending here, but …

When I saw the previews for the movie Mr. Woodcock, I didn’t know what to expect. With Sean William Scott and Billy Bob Thornton, I figured it would be a lot of slapstick but not much substance. But, I have to admit, after watching it, I was impressed.
Scott plays …

As soon as I watched the trailer for the movie Project Almanac it was easy for me to determine that it wasn’t going to be very good. However since I’m generally unable to resist movies about time travel I decided to watch it. While it did live up to my …

I just recently saw the movie Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. It is a finnish movie and it rates as 6.9/10 in IMDB that is why I decided to see it. I like foreign films and this looks quite interesting for me. The title itself boggled me for a …

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. …

Overall, I like The Feminine Touch, a classic movie from 1941. It’s a bit of a comedy with dramatic undertones. Rosalind Russell stars as Julie Hathaway, the wife of an aspiring author, who is preparing his manuscript about jealousy and how wrong it is. Don Ameche …

Due Date is a comedy film that I really enjoyed, despite going into it with a slight bit of pessimism due to previous reviews I’d heard.
It was much better than I expected, and had a number of laugh out loud moments that make me want to watch it again …

Is it me, or is it a case that of late, every single movie that Jackie Chan stars in, he plays the role of a police officer or some other enforcement officer that happens to get caught on the wrong side of the law. I do not think it’s …

Although this film received poor reviews upon release, I have to say it’s one of my all-time favorite films. It’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s one of those movies you can watch over and over, and it’s still hilarious.
Alex (Covert) is a 35-year-old video game …

This is yet another comedy from the Happy Madison production line and is much typical with the plot line we come to expect from these films! Definitely not for the younger viewers and contains 100% adult material!! The movie stars Seth Rogan and James Franco who do an average …

Her movie Picture Perfect, which I saw for the first time on Sunday, is a perfect example of this. It’s a feel-good love story but I honestly think …

Into the Blue
Sony Pictures
Stars: Jessica Alba and Paul Walker
They need to sink this movie. If you are a guy then the constant butt shots of Jessica Alba are plenteous. This movie had a stupid plot, gave in to the stereotypes about lawyers (greedy sharks), and pretty much had me …

I think Casino is one of the greatest Mob movies ever made. Joe Pesci does a great job of playing Nicky Santoro. I also think that Robert Deniro did a great job as Sam he hustler. I think the movie really tells the story of how mob bosses used …

When I was growing up, Godzilla was the ultimate movie monster. After seeing a more recent version of the series, Godzilla Vs. Destroyer, I am starting to see why he never won an Oscar.
