By day, I'm a humble computer systems administrator, now, but in my life I've worked as a sound engineer, a radio disk-jockey, a custodian, a short-order cook and a whole host of other fun and educational occupations. No, I'm not a million years old and I don't know everything. I am a happily married father of three lovely girls and my family is the most important thing in my life. So, movie reviews just seemed to come naturally. You can see the connection, can't you?

The Cook (2008) Movie Review

I was taught, in school, that when you write a journalistic article that you never write in the first person. I just broke that rule. That’s going to be the first of many in this brief and very caustic review for The Cook – Unrated, produced by The Cook Movie, LLC and Red Gourmet Productions...

Morgan Pålsson – World Reporter (2008) Movie Review

Every country has their lovable, bumbling idiot. America has Jerry Lewis (though France would rather claim him), Mexico has Cantinflas, England has Peter Sellers as the unforgettable Inspector Clouseau and so on. The latest to join this august chorus of ineptitude appears to be Swede Anders Jansson...

Lake Placid 2 (2007) Movie Review

The Sci-Fi original movie Lake Placid 2 has several things in common with the original Lake Placid. It has the same characters, with new names, at the same location trying to kill the same giant reptile. Unfortunately, that’s about as far as the similarities go.

The Rocket: The Legend of Rocket Richard (2007) Movie Review

Sports movies in general have a formula they tend to follow in order to capture attention. First, they have to be about winners, otherwise most people don’t tend to give them any notice, at all.

The Tripper (2006) Movie Review

There’s a great deal to be said about freedoms in America. Freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of the press… free love. David Arquette has included all of these elements along with an extremely twisted and satirical sense of humor in The Tripper. He’s also included some...

Song of the Dead (2005) Movie Review

There really is such a thing as a movie that is so bad, it’s good. Something about the movie, whether it’s the presence of an obviously passionate and talented actor or a magical soundtrack. Even a cameo role by one or two well known celebrities poking fun at themselves makes the whole...
