You know it is said that the older you get the quicker time passes. I was reminded of that today when I went to see Race to Witch Mountain. You see, I took my daughters to see the original Escape to Witch Mountain in 1975, thats 34 years ago! Phew! This family film does not [...]
This movie is breezy, light and fluffy much like the main character, Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher). Unfortunately for Rebecca, the movie has a lot of money to back it up (produced by Jerry Bruckheimer) while our heroine is up to her ears in credit card debt as a result of her “can’t say no” shopping [...]
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 [...]
Even though this is the second installment of the new PP series starring Steve Martin, I have to admit that to me, Peter Sellers IS Inspector Jacques Clouseau. I will always remember the scene in which Sellers walks into a small hotel and notices a dog laying on the floor. He asks the man behind [...]
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 suppose if you are going to take something or someone it might serve your interests to know a little about your victims. In this case the ruthless band of Albanian ‘dumb dumbs’ either don’t care or are too stupid and ruthless to give a damn. Perhaps it is just the thought of all that money [...]
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 [...]
