American Gangster…..a good movie. Unfortunatley thats all it is, and all it ever will be. In the Pantheon of Great Gangster Films, this should have been its most recent entry. Instead it falls into the Pantheon of Films that Need A Little More Work. I was so let down …

I enjoyed this movie for its settings more than anything else. It is an interesting concept to view the surface world above as �up there�, and to have an entire city, Ratopolis, below, loosely resembling London. The film primarily reminded me of Romancing the Stone. The female lead, Rita, …

I watched “Pirates of the Carribean: At World’d End” which is the third in the Pirates of the Carribean franchise.

This is successful when they go …

I got to see the movie Babel with a friend last week, and we came out with mixed opinions. I liked the film, and she was less thrilled by it. We both agreed on several things, though. We agreed that the film is fairly interesting and …

I recently rented the movie Failure to Launch with Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker. I originally rented the movie purely because Matthew McConaughey is quite attractive, but it ended up being a great laugh. The concept is that Matthews character is 35 and he still lives at …

If you are thinking on watching G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, it’s worth your money, trust me. That’s what I feel on the whole. This movie has the ever-rising and handsome Channing Tatum as the main character, I suppose and he will be really big in future, …

British dramas aren’t the easiest for me to watch. I’ve tried off and on, but they have their cultural slant that this American reviewer often just doesn’t get. The biggest thing for me is still trying to understand the lingo and sometimes just the spoken words. …

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 …

The most anticipated film for nearly a year, and what did we get?
Well, many people have many mixed opinions of the film. Personally I found it quite good, though conflicting. The plot went well, and mixed in nicely with the very first Alien film that came out. I …

This movie starring Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony about a puerto rican singer and his downfalls WAS HORRIBLE!. I HATED IT! The story was told in such a bad way. I never got a chance to get attached or feel anything for the characters because things happen so …

Fight Club is a brilliant movie; I found its portrayal of a psychologically disturbed human being very interesting.
The storyline in itself is quite good, but you’re never quite sure of where it is going until a major twist is revealed towards the end. But even with this lack of …

I love The Daughters of Joshua Cabe. It was inventive and fun and a huge pleasure to watch. It’s a lighthearted western that while predicable is highly entertaining.
Buddy Ebsen is Joshua Cabe, and he needs family fast to protect his land, which under new homesteading laws is …

“Pirates” is simply one of those movies that will not be off the current younger generation’s top films list. For me (and many others, I suspect), it was gateway into now-legendary actor Johnny Depp’s career. The guy’s performance in this movie, while not a magnum opus, no doubt reveals …

Starring: Peter Fonda, Blythe Danner, Arthur Hill, Yul Brynner, and Jim Antonio.
Directed by: Richard T. Heffron.
I had no idea that there was a sequel to “Westworld”, possibly because it wasn’t all that it was cooked up to be, perhaps? Oh wait a minute, actually, it really isn’t what it’s …

There is one movie that has frightened me like no other, and that movie is The Grudge. I still cannot watch The Grudge and expect to sleep that night, or the night after, for that matter. While The Grudge is totally unbelievable, the images haunt me and I just …

When I ordered the movie Flawless from Netflix, I expected it to be a great film about a jewel robbery in the 1960s. As it turns out, I couldn’t even get half way through it.
It’s possible the movie ended up being exciting at some point. It had a couple …

Mangal pandey, one of the so-called most awaited movies, disappoints the viewer miserably. It is slow and dragging, boring us to death. The story line is weak. You don’t even feel interested, leave alone inspired. The item number in it is disgusting!Rani looks unconvincing as a prostitue and Amisha …

From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …

Blood: The Last Vampire offers wonderful animation, grisly action, and an awesome main character, but lacks in overall length and depth of what truly could have been a perfect title. Saya is on the hunt for chiropterans, vampire-like demons that are wreaking havoc on a military base in Japan. …

I like Omar Epps in his reoccurring role on the show “House” but I’m not convinced he is a good Hollywood actor, capable of carrying a movie when asked.
A good example is the film In Too Deep. Epps stars in the movie and does a decent job as a …

X men Origins: Wolverine turned out to be better than I expected. I wasn’t expecting much because I thought it would be incomplete and completely stupid to concentrate on one character. But it turned out pretty good and interesting.
It did turn out to be a good movie but definitely …
