Babylon A.D. (2008)

Posted on February 1, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 This movie could be somewhat confusing. The story was at times choppy and perplexing. The special effects were either good or bad, depending on the scene. The one thing I did enjoy about this movie was where I believe the director … Continue reading →

The Pride of the Yankees (1942)

Posted on January 30, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This was an outstanding film based on the life of Lou Gehrig. Gary Cooper portrays the Iron Horse to perfection. The love of Lou and his wife, Eleanor was incredible but maybe a little too sugar-coated. This film goes beyond being … Continue reading →

The Replacements (2000)

Posted on January 25, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 I don’t think this film knew what audience they were trying to attract. It’s a story about down and out football players redeeming themselves. Add in some slapstick comedy and a foreseen script. What do you have–I don’t know.  … Continue reading →

The Langoliers (1995)

Posted on January 16, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 I’m always amazing at filmmakers who can take a short story and make it into a movie. Especially when that movie is a mini-series. This film was based on a Stephen King’s novella called Four Passed Midnight. While I … Continue reading →

Time Changer (2002)

Posted on October 31, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated PG If you ever wondered what would happen and what is happening with the separation of Church and State, this film portrays this wonderfully. It’s not the best made film. It lacks on so many levels but the story is … Continue reading →

Predator 2 (1990)

Posted on October 29, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R Why, oh why, did they move the sequel to LA. It doesn’t make sense although, maybe they shouldn’t have even done a sequel. It was poorly written even more so then the original. The special effects, what special effects, … Continue reading →

Predator (1987)

Posted on October 28, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R This film is all action. The suspense is high and fast paced. It doesn’t leave you room to breathe. The storyline is weak but the special effects and action help keep the story going. You will not miss … Continue reading →

Legend of Loch Lomond (2000)

Posted on October 17, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This film was originally presented in IMAX format but you can get on DVD. Thematically this is beautiful but the story lacked due to the shortness of the film. It definitely has very beautiful scenes of the Scottish highlands and … Continue reading →

The Return of Swamp Thing (1989)

Posted on September 9, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 Why do they remake movies that don’t need or in want of a remake? This is a cheesy remake. The Swamp Thing returns as a hero. This film has a King Kong feel to it, with the monster and … Continue reading →

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)

Posted on August 13, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated NR I few weeks ago I rebloged the shortlibrarian’s review of this film.  She loved it; I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the Japanese anime, I enjoyed the storyline, but I had a hard time after the story. Things seemed to be … Continue reading →
