Matthew Broderick
I was watching another rerun of Lady Hawke yesterday evening when I recognized who the young boy was who was taking care of Michelle Pfeiffer's character when her fiancee turns into a wolf at night: Matthew Broderick! Recognizing a popular actor in one of his earlier films has become quite a game...

Tony Shalhoub
Remember the alien whose head Agent K regularly blows off? I saw his appearance as a character actor with a small part to play in the Addams Family episode where Fester gets married to Debbie, the Black Widow. He plays one of the sailors with whom Debbie cavorts in a bar prior to her attempt to blow...

Aliens And Us
I have been watching a lot from the StarMovies channel these past few evenings. They have a series on Alien movies which allowed me to review some of the movies I've seen in the past: The Predator -- a unit of Special Forces find themselves confronted by a hunter from outer space. The alien hunts...

13 Going On 30
Jennifer Gardner (Electra in "DareDevil" and the main protagonist of "Alias") was, I guess, alright for "13 Going On 30," although I would have liked somebody else for the role. I enjoyed the movie, but it lacked something: an explanation for a thirteen year old suddenly growing up to be thirty. Oh...

Remake The A-Team!
Mission Impossible, Starsky and Hutch, Lost In Space, Charlie's Angels, The Avenger, The Wild Wild West... These were all great TV series that have been recently remade for movie houses. I'd like to see the A-Team remade too. It was one of those eighties TV series that I found really entertaining....

Hot Chick: An Exploration On Perspectives
"Perspective." That's a keyword in a pluralistic society. No one has a monopoly on truth; what we have are partial looks into the whole. The window through which we glance at truth is "perspective." There have been a lot of films that explore perspectives. I don't remember the titles of some of them...

Karate Kid III
I've been watching movie reruns on cable. This morning, they had Karate Kid III showing. So as I mended my socks, I watched the movie, hoping to get some entertainment out of an otherwise boring moment. The theme of the story is metaphorically symbolized in Miyagi's bonsai tree whose branches the...

Remembering Bruce Lee
I recently got a VCD of "Enter The Dragon" and was able to watch once more my favorite Kung Fu star, Bruce Lee. The first time the movie was shown it drew a lot of raves from Bruce Lee fans all over the world. After all, the movie looked better that previous Bruce Lee films -- The Big Boss and The...

Movies That I'd Probably Miss
Catwoman. Halle Berry may be a looker but her version of Batman's feline archenemy is strange to me. Oh sure, some comic book writer has changed the Catwoman's persona to something more like a heroine and has given her a costume that shows her cleavage but the story line is more an opportunity for...
