In 1996 The English Patient took home the award for Best Picture at the 69th Academy Awards. It has taken 26 years for me to finally sit down and watch this 2:42 movie, which occurred last night. I avoided this film because the story didn’t seem interesting or appealing to me in any way shape … More The English Patient (1996)
Many years ago, 15 to be exact, I took a trip out of town to watch The Family Stone. There was a lot to like about the film from just watching the trailer. Usually, I tend to turn away from the complex family storylines since they tend to always be the same. There’s always the … More The Family Stone (2005)
I am not here to break the glass on Netflix’s new lightning in the bottle; I just want to put a crack in it. The Princess Switch is another classic romantic comedy where the lead characters swap lifestyles and find love when they least expect it. Usually, these films feature a pair of twins in … More The Princess Switch (2018)
Hollywood has the tendency to revert back to the same themes when it comes to seasonal flicks. Let It Snow follows a handful of teenagers struggling to come to terms with the many self-inflicted problems they have in their lives. I mentioned previously that the theme is nothing new. We’ve seen over a hundred movies … More Let It Snow (2019)
Once upon a time ago, I praised Netflix’s ability to create good romantic comedies that could become the cornerstone for the genre’s future. These Netflix original movies will also be used as anchors to get people invested in their product. A Christmas Prince was widely successful and attracted many views. Even though the story was … More A Christmas Prince (2017)
Once upon a time, someone came up with the brilliant idea to get many all-star actors and actresses and throw them all together in a movie. This wasn’t going to be an ordinary movie; it would feature all these interesting stories with complex characters who all know each other. There will be so many times … More He’s Just Not That Into You (2009)
Once upon a time ago, I probably watched Under the Tuscan Sun. The movie is 17 years old already, and I am a sucker for a good romantic comedy. Then I met my wife, who adores this movie. For Christmas one year, I bought her the book the movie is based upon. As I’ve mentioned … More Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)
Scary Movie is one of a kind. It was also the first of what would be many spoof movies that only got worse as the series continued. However, before we get into those films, let’s start with the first one. It’s been 20 years since this movie hit theatres, and it is a safe bet … More Scary Movie (2000)
I Spit on Your Grave is not for the faint of heart. The subject material is raw and disgusting on so many levels. The only appealing aspect of the entire series is to watch the carnage that the victims create while seeking their revenge. In the first installment, we find an innocent girl who ventures … More I Spit on Your Grave 2 (2013)
Ghostbusters went from a Saturday Night sketch to an international phenomenon in 1984. This comedy will be fondly remembered for three reasons. The first is the legendary theme song. You can go just about anywhere and ask, “who you gonna call?” and the majority of the responses will be Ghostbusters! Second, the lead actors/actresses who … More Ghostbusters (1984)
