Music and Lyrics
For people who grew up in the 80’s, much of the subtle humor in the recent movie, “Music and Lyrics” is not as subtle as it is obvious and in your face. From the incredibly cheesy music videos, to the fanatical gyrations of a has-been, this movie made me …
Spiderman 3
I saw Spiderman 3 at a matinee the weekend after it opened. There had already been a ton of reviews stating just how horrible it was and that Sam Raimi is just a huge dissapointment with this one.
NEVER listen to critics. Always make your own decision when …
Bandolero movie
Bandolero was a really strange western with an odd theme that was quirky but alluring. It has a bouncy element to it. I actually like the theme music quite a bit. It fits the movie.
Basically, James Stewart hears about a band of outlaws that have been …
Inherit the Wind
At the heart of this film is a powerful controversy, one that still inspires heated debates today. On trial in this movie is not just a teacher’s right to teach certain subjects, but our right as American citizens to freedom of speech and freedom of choice.

Requiem For A Dream movie
Requiem For A Dream is another weird film you watch late at night and then try to figure out what really happened later on. I really like this movie because it is so sorted and twisted. You just can’t l really understand what would drive people to be so …
Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors Movie
I would not necessarily call myself a die hard slasher movie fanatic, but it is safe to say I love me some Freddy Kreuger. Of all the Nightmare on Elm Street movies I have seen, and believe me I have seen them at least three lifetimes over, I would have …
Sunshine Movie
I haven’t seen any Sci-Fi movie like this one, it’s an adventure and a thriller movie as well and you can really learn a lot about just concentrating on the film itself, like you can learn a lot about basic astronomy and the solar system, and things like so …

The interesting thing about the movie “The Jackal” is that you end up liking both Richard Gere and Bruce Willis. Even though Willis interprets an evil character in this movie, you can’t help liking him for his great acting skills. I must also say that Gere has been equally …
Mike Epps: Inappropriate Behavior (R, 2005) DVD

12 Angry Men (Remake)
In 1997, someone got the not-so-bright idea to recreate a theatrical classic, 12 Angry Men. The problem for me is that the original production was about as near to perfect as you can get. Headed by Henry Fonda and a legendary cast, this film was dramatic and …
The Barbie Diaries
Even though I’m already a grown up, I love watching cartoons, animated movies and especially Barbie! I’ve watched The Barbie Diaries like countless times and just am not bored with it at all. This is just like your typical chick flick; only animated version.
