Choke (2008)

July 7th, 2010 · No Comments

The promos for this film had me thinking that it was about a guy that goes from restaurant to restaurant scamming people by “choking” and having people save his life. It was about a dysfunctional man who’s mother was dying, was a sex addict and lathed his dead end job. The choking was pretty much [...]

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004)

Been trying to find this film on cable uncut for a while. Finally gave up and watched it on the Disney Channel with commercials. Seemed fine and didn’t get cut up. Lindsay before everything went wrong. The character is a drama queen who seems willing to give up friendships in order to be more popular, [...]

Hotel for Dogs (2009)

November 11th, 2009 · No Comments

A happy dog film. No dogs die in this film. No tears were shed, though I did choke up when they were all put in the pound. This unrealistic romp about 5 teens and the dozens of dogs they save from the pound and certain death was sweet. The youngest kid was an engineer and [...]

The Novice (2006) aka Crossroads

November 5th, 2009 · No Comments

Sweet enough film about a young Jesuit man debating on entering the priesthood and the woman he falls for while serving at a soup kitchen in Alabama. Nothing stellar, just a pleasant film. It had Amy Acker in it, so we watched. Alan Arkin gives a great performance as a Jesuit priest that works with [...]

The CIA and the FBI not having any idea what is going on with each other, a secret CIA operative (so secret only one agent knows about him) infiltrating a terrorist organization, good guys and bad guys sometimes being the same guy. And Don Cheadle giving an amazing [...]
