Stargate
Stargate was released in 1994 and it launched a franchise. Kurt Russell starred as Colonel Jonathan ‘Jack’ O’Neil. I have to make sure that’s spelled correctly. This is the single ‘L’ O’Neil, versus the TV series Jack O’Neill, which has two ‘L’s’ and was played by …

The Human Stain with Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman.

Office Space
Office Space, directed by Mike Judge, the same guy that brought you Bevis and Butthead, shows in a comical way (but yet so close to reality) what it is like to be an engineer working in a cubucle and how certaiin behaviours might effect their professional life.
This is a …
Dukes of Hazzard
From the previews, the movie, Dukes of Hazzard, looks absolutely stupid and something I would never watch in a million years.
Well, I did wind up watching it and was surprised at just how funny it was.
The Dukes of Hazzard is an entertaining film that essentially spoofs the television series …

Movie The Candidate
“What do we do now?”
It’s a simple question, but it’s a chilling one when asked by Bill McKay in The Candidate. McKay is played brilliantly by Robert Redford. He’s a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. He’s idealistic, and he doesn’t believe in making deals. …
World of Glory movie

I subscribed to Netflix video rental service about two months ago. Things for the most part run very smoothly on a consistent basis. It takes about two days from the shipment center to my house, and two days back. Although sometimes it takes much longer and I’ll wait up …
Spy (2015 Comedy Action Spy Movie)
I generally detest most movies with the comedian Melissa McCarthy playing a major role in them because I just don’t think she’s that funny. However, when I was sitting in the theatre watching another movie and I saw the trailer for this one I decided, “Hey, why not give this …
The Ring movie
The Ring is one of the best scary movies to come out this decade. I think this movie is up there with the Exorcist. The US version is very well done and very creepy. I think what is so scary about the movie is that the whole time you …
Rocky Horror Picture Show
I have seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show two times in my lifetime; last night was the second time. Each time I enjoyed the movie but I found myself leaving awfully confused.
Let me start out by saying that, if you haven’t seen this movie already, you may want to …

Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army)

New Moon
I had hoped New Moon would be better than the Twilight movie> I had read the books and unlike every teenage girl in teh world I thought they were rubbish.
So when I went to New Moon I had the previous history with teh books and the Twilight movie …
This is the End, Film
At first glance, —˜This is the End’ could be viewed as a vanity project. A comedy produced by the actors who star as themselves, it all feels a little bit self-congratulatory. The plot involves Seth Rogan, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson and James Franco having to …
101 Dalmations
I am reviewing the Disney movie, 101 Dalmations. I am a huge dog lover and so this movie is perfect for me. I also love the whole London scene, even though I’ve never been there. I would like to go someday. This movie is about Pongo and …

My Dog Skip is a sad, yet heartwarming story/movie. I don’t cry with a lot of movies but this movie made me shed a few tears. My Dog Skip is about a young boy growing up in Mississippi with his terrier dog Skip. Both the boy and the dog …
Pan’s Labyrinth (Laberinto del Fauno)
I remember first seeing a preview for Pan’s Labyrinth and thinking to myself, “This movie’s gonna be stupid!” and “It’s a rip-off of Chronicles of Narnia!”. After hearing about how great the movie supposedly was, of course I had to see for myself. Now I can say that this …
Be Kind Rewind dvd
I watched Be Kind Rewind last week starring Jack Black and Mos Def. I had high expectations of this comedy for some reason, I guess the previews just made it look like a great film. As I was attempting to stay awake thru the movie, I kept thinking”No its …
Die Another Day movie
Don’t ask me why, but for some reason they made another Bond film after the complete failure of The World is Not Enough. Don’t ask me why, but for some reason I used my money to see it. Perhaps because I am such a big fan of the older …
Underworld (2003)
When I first picked this movie up, I thought it sounded interesting as it was about a relationship between a vampire and a werewolf (supposedly the two were in love). However it disappointed me almost right away. The opening sequence of this film is nothing but mindless action and …

A Haunting in Connecticut- (Documentary, 2008)

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince

Miami Vice (2006)
Don’t rent or buy this movie if you’re expecting to see a big screen version of “Miami Vice” that mirrors the slick coolness of the television show it is based upon. Colin Farrell, as Detective Sonny Crockett, doesn’t come anywhere close to having Don Johnson’s rakish swagger. …

I Am Legend with Will Smith.
This science fiction genre film is based upon the 1954 book by the same title in which some mysterious disease turns people into Vampires. This version is vastly different, yet the theme of loneliness and the daily decision about whether …

Even if you’ve never the Warriors, I’m sure you remember this line. “Warriors, come out and play.” Right? WIth the guy clinking the bottles together. I love it! It’s based in a near future new york where gangs have taken over. Though based in the future, it’s not quite …
Movie Knocked Up
This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …
Surrogates (Movie)
I thought this movie was going to be good, but it is tastefully overexaggerated. The movie is all about people using robots as surrogates to live in the world, and it features Bruce Willis as Tom Greer, his wife Rosamund Pike as Maggie, Radha Mitchell as Peters, James Cromwell …
