For decades there has been some speculation about a certain Scottish loch and the prehistoric creature or creatures that might inhabit the deep waters. There have been a few pictures, most if not all proven as fakes over the years, depicting something akin to a Plesiosaur. The creature appears to have a long neck and a large body supported by fin-like appendages. By now the Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie, as it is often called, is a staple of modern mythology. Whether truth or fiction, the small Scottish countryside has made a bit of a cottage industry from the fabled creature. Of course, it is as children that we are the most fascinated with such things. There’s that age when we’re apt to believe almost anything, especially if we want it to be true enough. Water horse: Legend Of The Deep is directed at just such an audience, purporting to unveil the true story of the Loch Ness Monster. Read the rest of this entry »

I love Las Vegas. I haven’t been there that many times but the times I have been there I definitely feel like I am in another world. Everywhere you look, the bright lights and all of the people just make you feel more alive in some way, for me at least. It might be the thrill of winning a bunch of money gambling or the fact that you are in a place known for being sin city, and what happens there stays there. Being based on a true story, 21 should provide anyone who visits Las Vegas with the same dream, to make a boatload of cash. Read the rest of this entry »

There are so many movies that get released; sometimes people will question why they even get released in the first place. I know I have done it myself. In regards to this film, Untraceable, I am more than sure someone asked the same question. Given its negative reviews, it is hard to go into viewing the film with a positive opinion. However, that is why you should watch the film yourself and be the judge. Read the rest of this entry »

If I said it once, I have said it a thousand times; Will Smith just knows how to make money when it comes to movies. Sure, he has had some flops, but for the most part, a 100 million box office is almost a given. Tommy Lee Jones is no slouch either, with films such as The Fugitive, No Country for Old Men and Man of the House; he also has a box office draw. Put those two together and what do you have? Well, you have yourself a money making team that is almost sure to entertain. Read the rest of this entry »

Francis Ford Coppola returns to filmmaking after a 10 year hiatus of winemaking. While I admit I do enjoy his wines, it is nice to see the man returning to his other, well, hobby at this point. For his return, he has chosen to tell a tale based on a Romanian novel and via his own financing at a lower-budget. The end product is a quiet, dramatic look at man’s life and how he may relive it if given the chance. Part WWII period-piece, part superhuman sci-fi (yes, you read that correctly) the film doesn’t quite live up to Coppola’s masterpieces but is still a decent addition to his cannon of films.

I’ve made it known in the past that I’m a huge fan of horror movies. I love the feeling you get when you’re scared, the adrenaline rush to the senses that just grasps you throughout your cinematic experience. To date there have been very few horror movies that focus on the theory of human possession and exorcisms, today I will review one such film. Read the rest of this entry »

An urban legend is a form of modern folklore consisting of stories thought to be factual by those circulating them. The term is often used to mean something akin to an “apocryphal story.” Like all folklore, urban legends are not necessarily false, but they are often distorted, exaggerated, or sensationalized over time.

For some reason I wanted to watch The Other Boleyn Girl. I really didn’t know what it was about until I started watching it. I remember the TV commercials for it and just thinking, I bet that has a really nice looking transfer, I got to check this out. Also, Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johannson were in it so, right there, it is a must watch anyway. Read the rest of this entry »

I have to be straight up honest here. I have never seen a true western movie. When I say true western, I am speaking about westerns that took place at the height of the western movie making era of the 50’s and 60’s. The Professionals would be my first movie and I have to say right away, after watching the film, my interest is definitely peaked.

Love him or hate him, Terry Gilliam’s directorial career has experienced more twists and turns than anything I could even imagine. Shoot, a film about a Gilliam production failure was even done and well-received by many, including the former Monty Python cast member himself. When Heath Ledger died, I guess it would only make sense that a film with Gilliam would potentially be thrown into turmoil as a result (Gilliam was directing Ledger at the time of his death), though it does appear to be working fine now. So while he’s dealing with his current production, this year is a milestone of sorts as The Adventures of Baron Munchausen celebrates its 20th anniversary on disc.

When it comes to teen high school comedies, I think I have seen them all. They all seem to have the same premise. It is usually a couple of guys who are in high school and are looking to get laid at a prom or party or wherever they can get it. Nothing has changed in the 33 years that I have been watching movies. It works, the premise still works. But not all movies can pull off the perfect teen comedy?but Superbad comes super close.

Having never seen A Passage to India before this Blu Ray release, I was not sure what to expect. I did inquire with someone who had seen the film to give me a brief description of what I was to expect. Basically, my taste in movies is of the basic variety, more mainstream type movies. So, I really had to go into this viewing with a very open mind. Read the rest of this entry »

I have a cousin who is absolutely in love with the Broadway production of Rent currently playing in New York. To date she’s made the trip to New York from the Philly area no less than 3 times and will likely do so again. I attempted to channel that passion as much as I could as I sat down to watch this Blu-ray version of the production. Unfortunately, I don’t believe I was quite successful. From what I can see there is no doubt in my mind that Rent is a phenomenal experience, but I am also equally certain that this film could not capture the energy and emotion that theatre goers have been raving about.

There was first the cloned sheep, Dolly. Now today, cloning is actually very popular in science. Just do a simple Google search and you?ll find many articles on cloning that are occurring or have occurred. Heck, there was even an active website at one time about gene banking a pet. How far is science willing to go? The cloning of humans is not so far out of reach but most likely will not happen in my lifetime. When it does, you can bet that government will try and step in and stop it. Read the rest of this entry »

Cuba? What the hell…?
What’s next Norbit 2? Please noooooo!!!!
I don’t get it, why does this movie exist? What’s the thought process? Let’s take an already mediocre movie (Daddy Day Care) and make a less inspired, poorly conceived sequel. I miss the days when only good movies got less inspired, poorly conceived sequels.

I am sure at one point or another in everyone?s life; they wished they could be successful, smarter or healthier than they already are. It is only natural. Now what if I told you that when you have children of your own you could make that decision for them? Would you do it?
Vincent?s (Ethan Hawke) dream is to one day go into space. Since a very young age, he had read every book he could get his hands on to find out what it would take be an astronaut. Vincent fought off his parents urges to give up that dream because they knew he could never do it. Why? It was because he wasn?t created the?natural way.? Read the rest of this entry »

The last time I saw both Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix in a movie together, it was in 2000, in The Yards. It just so happens that the director of We Own the Night, James Gray, also directed that film. Having not worked for 7 years should have been a tell-tale sign of things to come. However, I was hopeful that this time around, with We Own the Night, Gray would be able to hit pay dirt. Sadly, We Own the Night comes up broke. Read the rest of this entry »

I love vampire movies. I remember watching Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee with my father on late night Saturdays when I was a kid. Since those days vampires have evolved. Ann Rice certainly deserves a lot of credit for breathing new life into the undead. Her gothic depictions of the creatures in her Vampire Chronicles stories added a wealth of new mythology and atmosphere to the age old monsters. Underworld would bring us even more vampire lore and, of course, the most attractive vampire to date in Selene. Read the rest of this entry »
