Movie Reviews: 'Dream a Little Dream' (1989)

Movie: Dream a Little Dream
Year: 1989
Rating: 5.9/10 Stars *****'
This movie was definitely expected to be bigger than it turned out to be at the box office. It is a classic 80s movie just due to the fact that it was a 'Corey's flick.' However, it lacked the solid feeling of a plot, which I think had to due with the lack of acting ability by the 'Coreys,' but what the hell, wasn't this body-switching thing the theme of quite a few 80s flicks, and now there still making them, although The Change Up (2011) was pretty funny. Check this one out if you are an 80s fan, or a Corey's groupie....its kind of weird how this 80s stuff is getting so dated so fast but thats life.

Under Neon Movie Reviews: 'Holiday' (1938)

Movie: Holiday
Year: 1938
My Rating: 7.2/10 Stars *******'

Another classic for sure, Cary Grant plays an ordinary guy who has fallen in love with a very wealthy girl. In the process of meeting the family he finds himself being shaken down by the father as to whether he is worthy of his daughter and of course the suspicion that comes when one courts outside of their caste. He also happens to fall in love with the other sister in the process (K. Hepburn). Check it out, like I said, a classic.

Akhu's Movie Reviews: 'An American Werewolf in London' (1981)

Movie: An American Werewolf in London

Year: 1981

My Rating: 6.9/10 Stars ******'

A classic 80's werewolf movie, and being from the 80s makes it even better for me, I just dig 80s movies I guess. Very gruesome special effects, but well done. Check this one out if you are a were-wolf movie fan/horror movie fan, its a must see in that case, and it's on cable tv all of the time.

Akhu's Documentary Reviews: 'Helvetica' (2007)

Movie: Helvetica
Year: 2007
My Rating: 8.7/10 Stars ********

An interesting documentary about the font you see everywhere and probably don't even notice. Helvetica font is the most-used font in the world, and this doco is all about it, sounds boring, but is actually quite interesting and informative. Especially interesting if you are into typography and graphic design at all.

Ahku's Movies Reviews: 'The Apartment' (1960)

Movie: The Apartment

Year: 1960 

My Rating: 7.4/10 *******'

Another great Lemmon/MacLaine flick, also stars Fred MacMurray. Single-working Lemmon's apartment becomes the party-place for all of his bosses above him, who in exchange promise to promote him at his high-rise/big city job. Lots of laughs and funny situations, check it out, one of my favorites, and a Best Picture Oscar winner too.

Akhu's Movie Reviews: 'Paul' (2011)

Movie: Paul

Year: 2011

My Rating: 6/10 Stars ******

This was actually funny, although the main comical effect in the movie is the colorful use of cuss-words. I don't know how I could doubt a Pegg-Frost duo movie, but I must admit I had my doubts after seeing the preview. Paul is an ET on the run from the government, and he hitches a ride with 2 unwitting British UFO enthusiasts (Pegg and Frost). Check it out, it actually is funny and worth watching once.

Akhu's Movie Reviews: 'The Pickwick Papers' (1952)

Movie: The Pickwick Papers
Year: 1952
My Rating: 7.8/10 Stars *******'

A wonderful old Dickens tale, with very entertaining dialogue, characters, and situations. Dickens was a a genius when it came to showing the silliness of propriety and nobility. Check this movie out, especially if you like old movies and are a fan of English literature.
