				Hollywood Land movie
								
				
							 I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.

				The 2003 Vampire Movie Alucard
								
				
							 I am yet to recall ever seeing a movie such as Alucard which screamed low budget. I never did watch it in the theatre, and for that I am indeed thankful; however, I did borrow a DVD from a friend to watch what I thought might turn out to …

				National Lampoon’s Animal House movie
								
				
							 A film by John Landis about the rivalry between two college houses. An intense, crazy comedy that doesn’t leave a moment for the audience to take a breath. I have a taste for films that uses the theme of college and high school, but this one didn’t really engage …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				Jeepers Creepers 2, horror film
								
				
							  This one really delivered, I thought. The first Creeper movie was great, but any fans might remember the Creeper had wings and in the first one we never saw him fly. Set the stage for this second helping of mayhem. Most of the horror takes place on a …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				The Patriot movie
								
				
							 The patriot is one my my favorite movies.  This movie is remembered for the stunning performance of Male Gibson. He is also the director of the movie.

				Can’t Buy Me Love, movie
								
				
							 Although there are many films out there about the diamond in the rough teenager who just needs a little push to be less awkward, none quite matches the charm of this film with Patrick Dempsey long before he was famous. In fact it has hard to imagine the man …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				War of the Worlds-2005
								
				
							 The recent War of the Worlds movie starring Tom Cruise is one of the best big budget movies I have seen in a long time.

				Split Second movie
								
				
							 Science Fiction comedy about a man played by Rutger Hauer who goes to look for a hideous monster in London and kill it. 
Rutger Hauer is one of the absolutely coolest actors ever in my opinion, but this film is really way to thin and unlogical to convince me. Hauer …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
	
				
	
				
				You, John Jones!
								
				
							 You, John Jones! is a great little film short with a stellar cast.  James Cagney appears as John Jones with Ann Sothern as his wife and Margaret O’Brien as his daughter.  O’Brien is just adorable and so passionate and intense as she recites a patriotic piece. 
	This film …

				Mr. Mom movie
								
				
							 Mr. Mom is really a cute little movie from 1983.  I don’t think of it as an A-list movie, but more of a B-film that still delights and is pretty funny.  It was also pretty topical for its era.  In truth, it’s still topical to a …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				Sabrina
								
				
							 Harrison Ford is mostly known for his involvement in bringing to the big screen the “Indiana Jones” block busters; however I much prefer him in the movie “Sabrina” where Ford shows of his unique charm rather than his Indiana Jones skills. It comes to no surprise that this movie …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
								
				
							 Nowadays, the marriage issue centers upon gay marriages, with Supreme Court cases hearing issues from state cases on the legality of same sex marriages. Back in 1967, when Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner was released, the marriage issue had been centered upon interracial relationships. It was not by accident. …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				Fool’s Gold
								
				
							 Fool’s Gold is a genreless movie fresh to the theaters. Well, they say it has a genre, but once you watch the movie, the genre becomes rather unapparent. The movie is about a bickering married couple (Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson) on the edge of divorcing who team up …

				Ironman
								
				
							 Before renting Ironman, I expected it to be a cliché, super-hero, comic-book movie. Even though I love anything Robert Downey Jr. does, I didn’t expect this role to show off his brilliant acting ability. I was wrong about that, and I really enjoyed this action movie, because it actually …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				The Good Shepherd Movie
								
				
							 The Good Shepherd,directed by Robert De Niro, presents the history of the Central Intelligence Agency through the events of one CIA agent, Edward Wilson.  While the idea behind this film seems worthy, I found it, at 167 minutes, to be a tedious mess. 
This is De Niro’s first official …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				Left Behind The Movie
								
				
							 Left Behind The Movie is the first in what I consider to be a mini series about the apocalypses. It gives us the writers view point of how he see’s the event happening. Kirk Cameron does a phenomenal job playing the part of the reporter in the movie. It …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
								
				
							 It is a known fact that sometimes a sequel falls short of the original movie and the fans are left disappointed. This is not the case with this movie.

				Movie Heavy
								
				
							 Heavy with Liv Tyler, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Debbie Harry, and Shelly Winters. 
   I must admit that I only watched this movie because it featured the beautiful, alluring Liv Tyler.  Then I continued to watch it because I could not figure what it was about.  It …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				Straight Talk movie
								
				
							 Now Straight Talk is a movie with Dolly Parton that has some meat to it.  It’s not quite the wonder that Nine to Five is, but Straight Talk is a good movie that has some real story to it. 
	Shirlee Kenyon (Parton) maneuvers her way into a radio job, …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				Australia (2008, Baz Luhrmann) movie
								
				
							 Not nearly as bad as it looks from the trailers. 
I avoided watching this for ages because the trailers made it look awful - cheesy, bloated, frankly as interesting and featureful as the Outback. It had one of those trailers which seems to give away the plot of the entire …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				Kick Ass movie
								
				
							 When I heard my friends with different likes and dislikes all praising this movie, I became eager to watch it for myself in the theatres.

				Balls of Fury
								
				
							 I normally enjoy Christopher Walken movies but the film Balls of Fury was a bit too stupid for my tastes. 
I’ve always thought table tennis as a competitive sport was a bit too much. It’s a game that should be played at home and that’s it. So, when you make …
 
				 
                
		 
	
				
				Strictly Sexual Movie
								
				
							 The title ‘Strictly Sexual’ invariably attracts the attention of youngsters and middle-aged people. I also chose to watch this movie, mainly because I am interested in what the movie is about, given the seductive name.

				Freak Out Movie
								
				
							 Freak Out is the kind of movie that seems to call my name whenever I pass the clearance rack at Hollywood Video.

							 “The X-Files” was one of the most popular American television shows which was aired on television in the1990s.

				Shooter
								
				
							 I have always been a big fan of Mark Wahlberg’s acting skills.  I like that he’s rough around the edges.  Even still, he’s able to nail the emotion that is called for by the scenes he’s in.  In this film, Wahlberg portrays a military marksman who …
