In the CG animated universe it's becoming increasingly difficult to come up with new and interesting ideas to make a good movie thats appealing to whole family. Dragon is another gem from DreamWorks. A coming of age story set in ancient viking times. The animation is top notch as usual, ...
For what looked to be like one of the more original monster movies of the year, with a good cast, and a very interesting creature, turned out be a bust. All bark and no bite. The movie couldn't really figure what it wanted to be. It wasn't scary at all, ...
As I like to do from time to time, I try and honor some of the modern classics. There aren't many from the year 1990 but by far the best film that year was Goodfellas. Martin Scorsese's crowning achievement of violence and mayhem portraying the harsh and sometimes glamorous life ...

Another post apocalyptic, Lone Wolf, Mad Max type of Samurai gunslinger film? Well just on the strength of Denzel Washington you have to stand up and take notice. In my extensive movie watching lifetime I have seen many many movies from this genre (too many to count) some good, some ...

Strong, one of the better thrillers to come along last year. One of those rare movies where you really root for the bad guy, who is really a good guy. Just like in the film Taken, you understand the revenge of the character and identify with his pain. Sort of ...
For me, THE best movie of 2009. Sure Avatar is the crowning achievement of the 2009, but up until late December, this was the best movie of the year. The perfect low budget sci-fi film that proves you don't need Transformers type CG to make a great movie with special ...
Well, what can you say. Quentin Tarantino at his usual fantastic best. Dialog and character richness in a way that no one else can seem to manage. His movies are becoming a genre of their own since no one else can even come close to making a movie with that kind ...
