Movies Reviews
Take the Lead movie
I didn’t know that Antonio Banderas can dance and ballroom dancing for that matter. When I saw his movie, Take the Lead, I was pretty impressed with the talent he has showed off in the movie. He has a great body and it looks so right with those sexy …
The Secret (R, 2006) movie
You will probably recognize her as Juno’s hyper teenage BFF. But Olivia Thirlby proves otherwise in this 2006 thriller called “The Secret.” The DVD cover art may throw you off. You may think that this is some seedy Lolita movie in which the teen wraps …
Bye Bye Birdie
I finally got an opportunity to see the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. While I normally enjoy movies like this one, I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed.
The plot of the musical isn’t bad. You have a famous singer who has been drafted and is heading off to …
The Little Mermaid
Of all the Walt Disney movies that are out there, the Little Mermaid has to be one of the more colorful ones. Prior to the bad sequels and the even worst television series, this movie was an inspiration for future underwater tales, including Nemo.
My daughter isn’t very good at …
Brigadoon MGM musical
Brigadoon is an MGM musical from 1954 that still delights to this day. It’s a quieter fare than most, but it has a genuine quality to it that lulls the viewer in. This movie is relevant to today, too, because we’re still in such a rat race, …

The Thing from Another World movie
This film was directed by Howard Hawks back in the 1960s, but for some reason the famous director let an unknown filmmaker take all the credit. Perhaps it wasn’t good for is rumour to be affiliated with a story like this, I’m not sure.
Anyway, the plot centres around a …
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
I absolutely hated the original Cheaper by the Dozen movie and thought Hollywood was stupid coming out with another one. However, after seeing Cheaper By The Dozen 2, I’m willing to admit this is a rare case when the sequel is much better than the original.
The movie centers around …

When I first heard about “V for Vendetta” I was sceptical of whether or not the Wachowski brothers would be able to pull out a quality movie after their not so astounding Matrix Revolutions. As the movie release date approached I watched more and more movie trailers, as …
Back to School movie
I’ve always though Rodney Dangerfield was more annoying than funny and his movie Back to School did nothing to make me change my mind about that.
Dangerfield plays a millionaire who decides to attend college to further his education and in an attempt to get some bonding time with his …
Black or White (drama movie)
For me the actor Kevin Costner’s name has become synonymous with watching certain kinds of films. Thus I consider him one of the more “serious” popular actors. Therefore, I found it interesting an refreshing to see that he was doing something a little different when I saw the trailer for …

Babel (R, 2006) movie

The Perfect Storm movie
With a cast of actors such as George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Diane Lane, the movie “The Perfect Storm” had a certain guarantee to be a good movie. I must say that after watching it, what really stole the scene in this movie are the extraordinary special effects. It …
Just Like Heaven movie
I watch Just like Heaven when I was flipping through channels and saw Resse Witherspoon, whose movies I love, mainly her chick flicks. I thought Just like heaven’s story line was unconventional and yet hard to believe although a bit eager to want to have. I did however end …
Meet the Spartans (2008)
This movie is a spoof of the Frank Miller’s telling of the tale of the Spartans, the movie known as 300. Basically everything from start to finish about this movie is similar to 300 with the exception of that it’s a pun of the movie. In addition, almost everything …

After seeing a preview of the new film Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, I quickly assumed this was a ‘wait for dvd’ movie. Thanks to a lack of good movies in February, I decided to take a chance on this film. To my surprise this film was actually …
Ultimate Avengers 2 Movie
The sequel to Marvel’s first Ultimate Avengers movie is, in my humble opinion, superior to the first. Having established our characters at this point, Ultimate Avengers 2 is allowed to take a bit more time advancing a plot.
Not that there aren’t a couple of new characters here. …
End of Watch (movie)

Vampires and werewolves have always made great movies. Other than Gone With The Wind, i think the original Dracula movie is among the most popular of all time. One thing vampire movies have never lacked is a smoking hot girl in them gracing the screen. Usually, the girls end …

Movie: Zombieland
When I first heard of the movie Zombieland, I wasn’t planning on watching it. I figured it would be like every other horror movie spoof out there and would be a big waste of my time.
However, my wife did want to watch it and, after some argument, I caved …
