In the world of wine, what happened in 1976 shook up the status quo in that the wines of France, which were considered incomparable, were bested in a “blind” wine tasting held in Paris. This movie tells that tale and, is in fact, based on a true story. Jim Barrett (Bill Pulllman) is a struggling vintner who [...]
Oh my gosh, where to start? This story is adapted from the video game Street Fighter. It should have stayed a video game in my opinion. The dialogue is lame and the actors deliver it in much the same fashion. The martial arts action is well choreographed and decently presented by the cast but the [...]
In my experience, most memorable movies have a spceial scene or singular theme that will cause you to remember it. Now, I am not telling you that this is a memorable movie – far from it. It does, however, possess one of the most thrilling shootouts ever filmed in a most remarkable setting. It takes place in the [...]
My head hurts! I just returned from viewing the movie PUSH and this is where the headache originated. Talk about a convoluted plot and a plot with so many holes it could serve as as an implement to strain your pasta! The future is this but, wait a minute, maybe the future is that or even who knows [...]
This turned out to be a neat little psychological thriller – much better that I anticipated. I had heard that there were several ‘surprises’ in the movie and so I kept looking for them. I have to say that the ending was satisfying in the way things were wrapped up for us as viewers. There [...]
As I sit here writing this review I get chilly all over again just thinking of New Ulm, Minnesota where the story is set. Talk about cold! One of the funny moments in the film comes when Lucy Hill (Renee Zellweger) steps out of the airport door and when hit by the frigid wind exclaims [...]
I’ve just got to tell you that I am most grateful that I am not a ‘silvertongue’”. This comes after viewing the movie Inkheart. You see a ‘silvertongue’ is someone who can read a book aloud and make it come alive! It also seems that if a character from the book does indeed come to life then [...]
I don’t think that you could find an actor better suited to play the role of Randy “The Ram” Robinson than Mickey Rourke. He positively looks the part of an aging wrestler and because of his past problems in real life, lends a very credible aspect to the role that makes him quite believable. It [...]
This prequel is the third offering in the popular Underworld series. In this tale we see what caused the war between the races of Vampire and Werewolf (Lycan). The story takes place in the Dark Ages where we find that the Vampires are well established with their leader, Viktor (Bill Nighy), who is already over 1,000 [...]
Defiance is a movie based on the true story of three Jewish brothers trying to survive the Nazi onslaught in World War Two. We should all be knowledgeable of this tragic episode in human history. If you are not, may I respectfully request that you Google the Holocaust to learn of the atrocities committed on the [...]
