This movie was really cool. I don't know how else to describe it. Jack Nicolson's character discovers he has become a wolf after being bitten one night. He gains amazing powers of his scenses. He can hear really well, is stronger, and can see a lot better. Sort of...
Gus Van Sant's talent and humility allows Harvey Milk to be a the center of this remarkable story without putting himself in front of the camera. Sean Penn shines with a new and extraordinary light as Harvey Milk. His humanity is overwhelming at times. That permanent smile defining his...

No relation to Octomom, this Bond movie is a great flick. Another 1980s cold war storyline, Roger Moore acts very well in this movie. Opening scene is epic, with the usual music and visual score that really starts the movie off well. If you are a fan of the...

A story that takes place in the 70’s but remains a classic. John Travolta, not a fine actor, is perfectly cast to play a young rudderless man living a sad life who comes alive in the dance studio. The dancing is mesmerizing and The Bee Gees songs create a...
Rocky IV is a quintessential 80s action film that perfectly captures the spirit of the era. This installment of the Rocky franchise takes the series to new heights (and new lows) with its over-the-top action, cheesy dialogue, and a surprisingly heartfelt story. The film pits Rocky Balboa...
Fast X is the latest installment in the long-running Fast and Furious franchise, a series known for its over-the-top action sequences and charismatic characters. While the film delivers on the action front, it falters in terms of storytelling and character development. The film's plot is convoluted, with...
A Perfect Getaway was a thriller that I thought I would really enjoy, as I love this genre of movie, however I found it to be too contrived, a thriller with an attempt to be funny and a little too gory and felt that this was a mindless...

Daniel Craig, once again, plays Benoit Blanc, in Glass Onion, a sequel to Knives Out.

Perfectly cast movie . Richard Dreyfuss is at his best and Roy Schneider and Robert Shaw bounce off him beautifully. The build up of tension is very effective and the music is gripping. i have watched it repeatedly and it never fails to make me jump from the tension....

Just In Time For Christmas is a light comedy that can be seen by the whole family and....now is the time to watch it. A sweet story of a psychology professor, Lindsay Rogers, played by Eloise Mumford, has a difficult decision to make. She is offered a dream job...
I am not really sure why this has become a cult favorite. It is a very odd movie, but maybe because of its oddness it has a certain appeal. Very offbeat characters in ridiculous situations. I had no idea where it was going or why I was watching it,...
When I saw the title of the movie, I formed an opinion and never intended to actually see it. When out with friends and looking for something to do on a dreary day, this was the only movie available during our time restrictions, so I agreed to see it. ...
This is a comedy, but there is also a poignancy that makes this movie special. I can not imagine why anyone thought it would be a good idea to remake. Funny scenes and funny lines aside, the aching for the unattainable and the illusion of perfection is so...
This is one of my favorite Nicholas Cage movies. It is heartwarming and uplifting and although you have to suspend disbelief, it IS after all a Christmas movie and so why not? Tea Leona is luminous, Cage is endearing and funny, and you get to care about them...
