Clerks DVD Review

All of the promotions for Clerks II made me want to see this movie. It's probably not for everyone - but I've known many people in my life that could fit exactly into this movie. Also it's a great example of what can be done on a limited budget.

The Chumscrubber DVD Review

Great not-so-known movie with lots of well-known actors. A darker side of suburbia (just the way I like it) - although the emphasis on the "comic strip/video game" was somewhat forced.

Memoirs of a Geisha DVD Review

Brilliant! Beautifully done - it really brings you into the facinating world of a geisha at that time in history. And, it offers no apologies for what a geisha really is.

Lucky Number Slevin DVD Review

Excellent! Lots of twists and turns in the plot. Very clever and unexpected with touches of dark comedy along with really gruesome killings.

The Jacket DVD Review

I love movies of this type that bring you back and forth in time - you're not sure of what's going on - but it's really intense!

The Libertine DVD Review

Grainy and gloomy with superb acting by Johnny Depp portraying a repulsive character. They sure had a lot of sex in London back in the 1600s! But this movie wasn't about all the sex, the drinking and the debauchery. It's about a truly despicable man, who was also quite brilliant.

In the Mouth of Madness DVD Review

This movie had a really interesting plot, and great actors. But, I'm
not sure why, this movie had a subtle and slight "made for TV" and
"Stephen King" feel to it. I LOVE John Carpenter - but it's not his
best work. Nevertheless, it's definitely entertaining.

Lost Highway DVD Review

Eerie, bizarre and weird - just like I expect a David Lynch movie to be! It's best to come to your own interpretation of what this is all about.

Poseidon DVD Review

Nothing like a good disaster at sea! Lots of CGI, but definitely entertaining. I like that they did not try to reenact everything exactly from the original movie. (Although the original was the better of the two.)

Jaws DVD Review

One of the best movies ever made - EVER! Spielberg at his best. This movie hits on such a primal fear that after watching it, it caused my mother to jump out of a pool after seeing her own shadow while swimming. This movie also caused my sister to be psychologically scarred for life - she saw the movie for the first time at a young age over 25 years ago, and to this day is petrified of the ocean! I consider this is a "must see". Most people have probably seen this movie, but if you've only seen it on TV, you haven't gotten the full effect.

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels DVD Review

Great characters! And, great twists and turns in the plot. I love movies like this, but it was kind of hard to follow the storyline, and the dialect at times was almost incomprehensible.

Basic Instinct 2 DVD Review

The first one was better. The twists and turns were interesting, but the "shock-value" of Sharon Stone's character was a bit to "played out".

The Sentinel DVD Review

Has all the right ingredients for an intriguing movie: murder, love, infidelity and treason. I figured out who the "traitor" was early on, but it was still an entertaining movie with top-notch actors: Michael Douglas, Keifer Sutherland, and Kim Bassinger.

The Big White DVD Review

For some reason this kept on reminding me of Fargo (which I loved, by the way). I guess it was the location. I think Robin Williams is hysterical and one of the best comedians around - but I appreciate his talent even more when he plays a non-overtly humorous role.
