Park (R, 2006) movie
I rented this unwittingly believing that this would be a quirky and fun little film. What surprised me more than anything was the movie’s ability to bore me to pieces within the first few minutes. I should have known that if Ricki Lake was in …

Wild Wild West
This is a most confusing film with Will Smith that combines old western style with a modern kind of tecnique and scenery. The contrast between these to is barely watchable, and regarding Smith’s performance, I don’t think he really fits in this kind of film.
It’s shocking that this was …

Good Neighbors Movie (2010)

Hangover Part 2 movie

‘Love Comes Softly’ is the first of a series of movies based on books by Janette Oke, a popular Christian author. Janette Oke writes romance, and romance is considered to be a ‘women’s genre’. However, I wouldn’t call this movie a ‘women’s movie.’ I watched it together with my …

101 Dalmations

Blade (movie)
I love vampire movies but will also admit that most of them are like every other one I’ve ever seen. That’s why I’m a big fan of the movie Blade.

Trois 2: Pandora’s Box

Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House movie
I have always gotten a kick out of this comedy starring Cary Grant. It’s called Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House and uses Grant’s comedic skills wisely. As the affable Jim Blandings, Grant is the common, everyday man who agrees with his wife that they have the …
Man of Steel, movie
I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: Superman is lame. There, I said it, and now I’ll probably have to run and hide inside some bunker until the geek rage dies. And it’s strange, because I’m also a geek. A geek that loves comics and computer games, …

Saving Mr. Banks (2013 Film)
I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for Disney movies. They always have a way of dragging me back to my childhood to the happy times of being a kid without a care in the world.
Saving Mr. Banks is the real life approach to Mary Poppins. At first, when I heard …
Film “The Attic”
I just watched the attic last night on Hulu. It was an ok film for something made at the low budget level. I’m not sure but I would guess this was either a straight to video or a tv release based on the production values. I …

Strigoi, movie (2009)
Its safe to say that vampires aren’t what they used to be. The dark forces of evil that they are in books, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula and films like The Lost Boys, have been brushed aside for more romanticized versions in True Blood and Twilight. Fortunately, there …
