Let’s face it. So much of Blazing Saddles is so politically incorrect that you’d need several fingers and toes to count the instances. But I don’t think it is a matter of contention with this film. If you take a step back, I think you’ll find Mel Brooks’ intentions …

Lemony Snicket’s ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ is a movie that documents the first three books of the series of the same name. The movie, like with most movies adapted from books, was a rather aggravating contrast from the real book. Unlike other movies however the real contrast came …

21 Jump Street isn’t the greatest movie ever. In my opinion, it isn’t even close. However, that doesn’t mean that this movie isn’t worth watching. I find that it has some cheesy moments, a slight romance, but mostly comedy and action. I appreciate a good hardcore guns blazing shooting …

I don’t really even know where to begin with this movie. I don’t know what to say about it. Overall it was an alright movie, I liked some part of it and I didn’t like some part of it. I think for the most part I didn’t like the …

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a 2009 release, stars Matthew McConaughey and it’s positively brilliant. Okay, so it’s a revamped version of Scrooge, but a good story is a good story. In fact, there’s a moment at the end when McConaughey’s character teases just a bit about …

I remember watching my first Godzilla movie in the middle 70’s on a Chicago UHF station, It was Godzilla Vs. Mothra, and it was love at first sight, I didn’t mind that the special effects were campy or that it was a man in a costume, it seemed …

When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Call” it was a little before it was released, and I didn’t really pay much mind to it. Part of the reason was because a lot of the actress Halle Berry’s recent movies seem to have bombed and I …

I’ve just finished watching Shrek 2 for the first time - yes, I know, took me a while to get to it. Especially since I enjoyed Shrek 1 and looked forward to see the sequel.

“Nine Queens” is a 2000 movie from Argentina about grifters or con-men. The movie is in Spanish but the DVD comes with a choice of subtitles. The movie is in color and was filmed on locations throughout Buenos Aires.
Ostensibly the movie is about two con-men: Juan, played by …

I had a chance to watch a couple movies yesterday evening before settling down for the night. One of the movies I came across was the film Superhero Movie.
I have seen a lot of “spoof” movies in the past and have had mixed opinions about them. Most of them …

In my opinion, Shrek the Third is the best movie of the Shrek movies. I liked Shrek 1 and Shrek 2 even more than 1 because of the addition of Puss in Boots. Shrek 3 I like even more than Shrek 2; that isn’t saying a whole …

There’s been a lot of speculation about the lady in black known as the Black Dahlia over the years. No one really knows who killed her, but someone did, cutting up her body in the process. The gruesome and very real story has fascinated crime buffs for …

If you’re thinking of a way to waste an hour and a half of your life, give the movie Knock Knock a try. This movie is a complete waste of time and I don’t know how I ever sat through the whole movie. If you’ve read any of my …

This movie will now and forever be one of my favorite horror movies. It’s a true classic. This is based in Antarctica where a bunch of scientists are doing some experiments. They uncover a dark terror that seems to evade them at every turn. It first starts off with …

I found this movie to be drawn out, lacking in valuable information known in the real Black Dahlia murder, and more of a love story than a mystery.
Being a huge fan of true crime books and movies I anticipated the release of The Black Dahlia on dvd. I had …

Oh how I loathe these movies. My fiance takes me to them every time they come out on the big screen and I just HATE them. I don’t think there’s really any acting in it. Anyone can ‘act’ in a horror movie. I mean anyone. I just don’t get …

I am afraid that I could not help comparing this movie all the way through to Nine and a Half Weeks, the 1987 erotic movie starring Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. Now that is an erotic movie and I (and my friends at the time too!) can totally …

At first I thought that this movie was going to be like a rip-off of “The Prestige” which starred Christian Bale. But I am quite pleased to report that this movie has a similar storyline, but veers in an entirely different direction. Instead of concentrating fully on …

Overview - After watching Across The Universe two days in a row, I can say that it’s probably my favorite movie of all time. Across The Universe is a movie that basically connects the lives of different people into one story and it tells the story through the use …

I only just saw Staying Alive for the first time recently. I haven’t even seen Saturday Night Fever all the way through. I’ve only seen pieces of it. The stories never intrigued me, but I did wonder a lot about Finola Hughes, who I’ve met at …

The Forbidden Kingdom : I watched this movie last week. It starts Jackie Chain, and Jet Lee as leads. Lee is in double role. The story is a fantasy, which takes us to an imaginary land o, with entertains us with Kung Fu stunts, and some nice …

This movie, which features Tim Allen, John Travolta, and Martin Lawrence, was very popular in the theatres, which was part of why I decided to go see it.
The trailers looked okay, not particularly great but I’ve never really believed in picking movies based on trailers anyway.
The story goes: four …

The Ultimate Gift (a recent 2007 release) proves once again that you can make a good - no, excellent - movie without blood, gore, sex scenes, and bad language. Jason Stevens (Drew Fuller) is a trust fund kid who hasn’t worked a day in his life. Raised in wealth, …

Hillary Swank replaces the character that was made famous in the first three films and a new sort of twist is added in. However, this film will surprise few people. With the exception that Daniel has been replaced by a female, there is the same underlying story of a …

The 2007 film, “Balls of Fury” film that was supposed to be a comedy proved to be anything but. I normally enjoy comic films that are like this one, though this film was not very funny to me. Something about this film did not really catch my funny bone …

Even though I never really took the opportunity to really sit and watch the previous installments in the Mad Max franchise, I has always felt like the movies might have been something I would find very interesting. Therefore my anticipation of the fourth installment, “Mad Max: Fury Road” grew out …

The best word to discribe the drama movie “Eastern Promises” is shocking. It starts with a huge shock and there is quite some few shocks during the movie too. All in all, it is a truly exceptional movie.
“Eastern Promises” is all about the actor, Viggo Mortensen. I didn’t realise …

I have never seen a stand-up comedy movie as funny as this one. I was a little weirded out by the fact that it was a “movie”–and not just a consecutive stand-up routine that was filmed. This movie featured Katt Williams and other comedians. But what …

All-American Co-Ed, a 1941 release starred Frances Langford as Virginia Collinge, one of the college gals attending Mar Brynn College. Her roommate, however, isn’t exactly who, or what, she, er, he, seems. It is all based on a crazy premise about rival schools getting their jollies at …

Match Point is a 2005 movie from writer and director Woody Allen. I am always more excited about a new Woody Allen film if he is in it because I love to see him delivering his own lines but someone recommended this to me and I must admit …

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are spectacular in this movie about two dying men who go on an adventure to fulfill their life-long ambitions. The previews for this movie were a bit misleading. I though that this would be full of laughs, but the serious aspects were a …

I’m a huge Larry the Cable Guy fan; both his stand up comedy and the several movies he’s starred in recently. So, I couldn’t wait to see his newest film, Witless Protection.
While a funny movie, I have to say it really didn’t live up to the standards set by …

As much as I hate Hollywood’s love affair with vampires and remakes, I love this movie way better than the original. I didn’t actually see the original Fright Night until a month before the new one came out, and I was disappointed (probably because it was about 20 years …
