Hello everyone it's been a long time. I've been so swamped with things. It's good to be sharing with you once again. I just had the opportunity to view some cool movies that I want to briefly elaborate upon.
Martian Child
I really enjoyed this picture because it dealt with an adopted single parent who actually was a widow and in need of a companion. However, it goes much deeper than that. The relationship that the single adopted parent has with the child is uncanny.
The child believes that he is from mars and is a really strange kid with baggage. This makes for a really good heartfelt flick. Sorry I didn’t see it any sooner.
Reservation Road
Tells the story of a family whose life is changed in a moment when their son is killed by a hit and run driver. This movie grabs you from the start with a good script and great performances from its actors. It contrasts two types of families one broken by tragedy the other broken by divorce. Both families will never be the same after the accident and you won’t be the same after you watching it.
Rails and Ties
Is a tragic but good picture in which a mother who suffers from depression from facing cancer and decides she is going to take her life along with her son, who escapes with his life. this movie is really deep. I can’t go into anything else without spoiling it.
So check it out at your convenience. I have a few surprises for you tomorrow.

I Like It, I Like It
I Like It, I Like it
Hello cinemaniacs,
It has been a few days since the last post. I can tell you now that I’ve been busy. There have been a couple of movies that I want to share with you from different genres. So lets get started.
How many of you out there like watching Anime
I don’t get a chance to watch a lot of boxed anime sets but I had the opportunity to see two very outstanding ones.
The first is Gunslinger Girl.
This cartoon is off the hook. I don’t want to spoil it for those who have never had the chance to check it out.
Whoever said that they are not intimidated by smaller people are no threat to a bigger more imposing figure somebody has told them wrong. Why just ask Oscar De La Hoya about his smaller opponent Manny Pacquiao and he will tell you it’s not the size of the dog but the fight in the dog.
Gunslinger Girls are small but they kick a@# just the same and handle their business. In fact, you have to see this for yourself. This is a great anime piece. I like it. I like it.
The second boxed anime set happens to be:
Afro Samurai Directors Cut
Samuel L. Jackson provides the voice for this relentless Samurai on a mission. Action packed fun. Check it out for yourself. I like it. I like it.
Grosse Point Blank
John Cusack plays a government hired cleaner who comes back to his old stomping ground to put a new mark on ice. This is a 1997 old picture that I always wanted to see but never caught from the beginning till recently. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it. To put it short, I like it. I like it.
27 Dresses
Is a cool romantic flick that I never rally wanted to see because I thought it was going to be corny because of the premise? However, it turned out to be a good look. I like it I like it. You can check this one out with your lady.
Things to Come
Twilight 2 is about to be in the works.
Hancock 2 is happening.
Notorious B.I.G. opens in January
Night at the Museum 2
Madagassgar3
Fast and Furious4 awakens the return of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker as they take it back to the streets.
Tyrannosaurus Rex horror flick by Rob Zombie which he says has nothing to do with dinosaurs.
Final Destination 4 death is on the prowl again looking to do a u-turn to hit those who slipped away from its grip.
I like how it all will unfold in the movie department in the months and year to come. I will keep you posted on some other new things in the works. Be well my cinemaniacs.

Go Cop That
I can’t believe that the year is about over. We are in December and it hasn’t really snowed yet here in New York City. I would love to see some kind of snowfall before the year is out. It really hasn’t been cold like that yet.
We are in the holiday season.
Whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa I decided I to share a couple of really good box sets that you can purchase for yourself or that special person on your list that you want to bare gifts.
I decided to do something a little different this post. These are some of the best boxed shows that you can cop.
The Lost Room is a Sci-fi gem that I stumbled upon and fell in love with immediately. Great plot twists, good acting and a story line that sticks like super glue gel. It was a mini-series that played on the sci-fi network.
The Wire is one of HBO’s grittiest T.V. shows. It was not only true to the street, but it was a hit with people who were in law enforcement because it really keeps the script close to reality. Take a ride through the concrete jungle of Baltimore, Maryland.
To a place where drug dealers play for keeps some cops are on the take and some will do whatever they have to do to bring down the bad guys.
This is a must see for anyone who hasn’t had the opportunity to see it.
The Shield is one of the most intoxicating shows that I have ever seen. It is the King Kong of cop dramas. Hands down it stands alone when it comes to other cop shows. It delves into issues that other shows don’t even scratch the surface upon. What happens when you have a crooked cop with a crooked tactical narcotics team on some of the
This show will go down in history as one of the most critically acclaimed shows to grace the television screen.
Be on the look out tomorrow I have some goodies to tell you about. See you then.

Zombie Diaries
It is good to be back writing. I was away for a few days with my family in Virginia celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday with them. The trip was really cool. I had a blast and wish I could have stayed longer than I did.
I had the chance to spend quality time with my niece who happens to be a whole lot of fun. Not only is this little girl smart with a sense of humor and being very persuasive she has a love for horror movies.
I have never seen a four year old boy or girl who is not afraid of horror movies, but is entertained by them. She asked me to pop in a horror movie uncle as we walked away from the dinner table.
I put on a comedy that made her laugh and she cheered me on more and more after it was finished to put in a horror movie.
I couldn’t believe it. So I grabbed Zombie popped it in. My eight year old nephew was scared of it while my niece chanted out this movie ain’t scary uncle.
I have to agree with my niece. Zombie Diaries was not what I expected even with it’s unique twist that was different from any zombie movie that I’ve ever seen.
Zombie Diaries is two thumbs down.
Maybe I should start sending her movies to critique for me since she is pretty much on point with movies for a four year old. Is this what the horror genre has become? We need some new writers who can scare the devil out of us while keeping us in awe.

4 The Money
Have you seen the movie Mad Money?
I finally sat around to watch it. For those who haven't seen it.
Mad Money stars Diane Keaton, Katie Holmes and Queen Latifah. I can recall when the movie first hit the theatres. The critics soaring in action faster than a Lockheed F-117 Stealth Nighthawk fighter plane and shot it down.
There reviews basically never even gave the film a fighting chance.
I have to say that the script is crafty, the acting is great and the story builds up to a nice climax with plot twists that you don’t expect.
I’m impressed by Katie Holmes playing a different type of character. She was convincing. Diane Keaton did her thing in this picture. I need to find out who wrote the script for this and check to see if they have any other well crafted movies.
After watching the movie I have to say that it was a very good movie. Mad Money is not your average heist flick. It took a very familiar plot theme that we are familiar with and put women where we usually see men.
Next they took three women for three different walks of life each dealing with their own struggles in life and situations. Mad money made you care about the characters while luring you in.
I don’t want to tell you too much or spoil the movie for you but if you haven’t seen it check it out at your convenience.
