    Review Spaceballs (1987)

    I really do adore this film, but I've always had an issue with the fact that this seems to be so many people's go to for Brooks' work. The humor is great,l but it never felt, to me, anyway, quite as clever as his earlier films. I rank BLAZING SADDLES, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, THE PRODUCERS, HIGH...

    Review The Defenders (2017)

    I just finished episode 4 of IRON FIST, and it is awesome! A little on the slow side, but I expected that since we're dealing with an origin story. A reviewer I read on Yahoo made it sound like this was just horrible, which makes me wonder what show they were watching. I can't wait to see the...

    Review Schindler's List (1993)

    A few months ago, I rewatched this one for the first time in over twenty years. It's still hard to watch, mostly because it's so beautifully done. The story is wonderful, the acting is superb, and it's shot brilliantly. Ralph Feinnes proves here why he's one of the greatest villain actors of our...

    Review The Golem Movies of Paul Wegner (1915 to 1920)

    I have seen THE GOLEM (1920), and it is a wonderful film. As much as I balk at the constant remakes, I would love to this story done again. They did a Golem story on SUPERNATURAL, but they just had a bodybuilder as the creature (although, he did get to kill some Nazis, which is always good...

    Review The Shaw Brothers studios -- but not Kung Fu

    This is fascinating! I, too, had always assumed that Shaw Brothers had only delved into kung fu movies. I don't know that many of those other films would be a go to choice for me, but as a curiosity I think I will have to check them out. Still, they did some really great kung fu films.

    Review Life of Brian (1979)

    Little known fact: The disposable rubber glove was invented by the Romans. Often times, they would have Jewish crews working with them during crucifixions, and the Jewish workers weren't keen on getting blood on their hands, especially from other races, as they believe in being Kosher. So a...

    Review Life of Brian (1979)

    Mrs. Gregory: Aha, what's so special about the cheesemakers? Gregory: Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

    I've been trying to find a copy of this, because it looks great. Have you seen a 2010 Belgian film called VAMPIRES? It's kind of the same, but the humor is more subdued. It gets pretty dark at times, but a pretty good watch.

    Review Life of Brian (1979)

    So many great scenes from this. You have Eric Idle explaining haggling to Brian, the Centurion making Brian write the Latin phrase one hundred times, the Sermon on the Mount, the followers arguing about the meaning of the sandal and the gourd (really, it reminds me of so many christians I have...

    Review Clerks (1995)

    After Kevin Smith became an indie film darling with his first film, the critically acclaimed CLERKS., he was handed the chance to make a big budget film, the critical flop MALLRATS (if you ask me, it's hilarious). While he was flirting with Hollywood fame, Disney (owner of Miramax and...

    Controversial The Day the Clown Cried (1972)

    This is one of those films that I really want to see, simply as a curiosity. But overall, yes, I think it should remain hidden.

    Review The Last Airbender (2010)

    Gah! Let me pretend this movie doesn't exist! It's typical Hollywood! Take a brilliant television program, condense the better part of a season into a two hour movie, whitewash all of the protagonists while making the bad guy a person of color (should have been Chinese instead of Indian) and...

    Review Jonah Hex (2010)

    I still haven't seen it. I was really excited, because I have always liked the character in the comics. But after the bad reviews started coming in, I got less excited, and have just never giving it a chance. At least we still have his episode of JUSTICE LEAGUE and his episodes of LEGENDS OF...

    Review Green Lantern (2011)

    This is still the only movie I've ever seen in 3-D. I went to the midnight showing, and while entertained, it felt like they took three different movies and blended them all into one, taking most of the important plot points away from all of them. The biggest problem, other than the costume, is...
