Movie-Holic

I will say at the very beginning that there has never been a worse book to movie transition, well… other than Twilight. With that said, I will say that as a stand alone movie Eragon is not bad at all. I love fantasy fiction and had to read the book. Of course, once I read [...]

Before I get into a review of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, I have to say that it is much better than I thought it was going to be. This might be because the previous installment of the series was a little bit too, ummm… boring for me. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans brought to [...]

This past weekend, I sat down and watched Cloverfield on DVD. I had forgotten that I had it on my DVD queue at Netflix and was a little surprised to see it in my mailbox. But, I figured since it was delivered I would watch it again. I didn’t mind it the first time so [...]

Over the weekend I got a chance to catch Journey To The Center Of The Earth, with Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson, and Anita Briem on DVD. I wasn’t really expecting much because of the bad reviews I had seen of the movie. But, I really enjoyed the Mummy series of movies and was hoping that [...]

Animated movies are not my favorite type of movies. I enjoy them, when they are well done, but lately they have been just a little on the flat side for my taste. So, it goes without saying that I wasn’t really all that thrilled to sit down with Bolt. My family has been waiting to [...]

The Dukes of Hazzard television series, which ran from 1979 to 1985, is, and has been, one of my favorite tv series of all time. The enigmatic characters, and the General Lee, created a world where you could escape to on Friday nights and just be one of the Good Ole’ Boys. When the movie [...]

Saw V is one of the those movies you either like or you don’t. Actually, the entire Saw series is one where you either like them or not. I would quite classify them as horror movies, but more like gory movies. There is blood. And a lot of it. There’s also broken limbs, entrails, brains, [...]

The Amityville Horror is one of those timeless horror classics that if you saw it when it was first released in 1979, you still remember the nightmares. I know I do. I thought I was all grown up at nine years old and ready for my first foray into the world of horror movies. I [...]

There are movies that are good, and then there are those that cause an involuntary emotional response. I categorize those types of movies as absolutely “must see”. Marley and Me is one of those movies. I must admit that I wasn’t really that interested in it. I passed on it as the theaters and waited [...]

Role Models is not exactly bad, but it’s not exactly good either. Caught at a crossroads between raunchy and acceptable, Role Models tries to deliver and make you laugh. The story is ok as far a slacker comedy goes. Two guys, Danny and Wheeler (played by Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott), work as a [...]
