Movies: District 9 and the Watermelon Man - Jon Searles
In 1970 a movie titled the Watermelon Man was directed by Melvin Van Peebles and starred Godfrey Cambridge. The movie was billed as a comedy/drama and I remember watching it when I was 9 years old. The reason I remember it is because it was a movie that started to build my first opinion of race... Submitted 2 years 178 days ago.

Review: The Polar Express (2004) - Jeff Brown
If you've come to this one late, haven't seen it yet . . . I envy you. Having seen it over twenty times with the family, I wish I was able to see it again and again fresh each time to fully experience the wonder, the magic, the story. If you grew up in the Northeast, this movie reeks of the magic... Submitted 2 years 300 days ago.

“The Good Shepherd” An Interesting Tale of Today or Just Another Movie? - - straight talk
The movie told the story of power, deceit and lies. It was about ideals gone astray. Broken family, lies, deceit and of course power and the destruction of a mans character. Now needless to say I thought it was very appropriate for the times we live in although set in the early sixties. While... Submitted 4 years 267 days ago.

United 93 – WOW! - Scott Brown
I went to see United 93 today, and must say, WOW! While the story line was, of course, very depressing, the movie was really well done. It never broke down into wild speculation, spectacular special effects, or over dramatization. Instead, it compiles what we do know into a cohesive... Submitted 5 years 288 days ago.

Avatar Special Edition: An attempt at making even more money! - - Brombergs 2 Cents
There are really only two groups of people that will not see Avatar : Those that never see movies or those that really do not care about visual spectacle.

Toy Story 3: Refreshingly Psychological - - Brombergs 2 Cents
Yet another Pixar film that is more for adults than for children.

Steroids loom large in Bigger, Stronger, Faster - - Joseph Jagde

America, Las Vegas, 1971....

I am a big fan of the Harry Potter books. I've read better, but I've read far less.

Is it a piece... Submitted 2 years 189 days ago.

A Review of Stomp the Yard - - Joseph Jagde
On several levels this was a fantastic film.

A review of the Pursuit of Happyness - - Joseph Jagde
This movie has done well in the box and it touted as a story of homelessness but it made an impression on me at another level.
