Max Headroom movie
From 1985, Max Headroom introduces a really unique new concept to television viewing. In fact, you really have to be open to something different when you go into this, and not only that, but you need to stay focused on what is happening throughout Max Headroom or you’ll …

Sully (2016 Biographical Drama Film)
A Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks joint biopic sounds too good to be true. But it is 2017 now and apparently anything could happen. Back in the beginning of 2016, I greatly waited for this, but when the time it became available in cinemas I told myself to just wait …

There Will Be Blood (epic drama movie)
I’ve found it so strange that I had never heard of the 2007 movie “There Will Be Blood” until late last year. Even then I still had no idea what to expect of it because of the title. A major part of me figured that the plot might have something …
1408
What’s up with horror or thriller movies with numbers…? But the idea works for me. In 1408, I was scared out of my mind, truly. I watched it on DVD pretty recently and luckily my relatives were around.
The 3 of us, that is. We …
The Brother From Another Planet
If you’re looking for a really bad black comedy film from the 70s and early 80s, don’t hesitate to watch the 1984 movie The Brother from Another Planet.
Joe Morton plays “The Brother,” an escaped slave from a planet know as “Another Planet.” I think that was the best joke …
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie
This controversial horror film by Tobe Hooper was made in a time where extremely violent films where becoming more and more accepted among the audience, but as a matter of fact, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be the most misunderstood film ever. The title hints to a gruesome …

Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows movie
I’ve always remembered Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows, not because of the actors but because of the story and that it makes use of Universal Studios. In fact, the opening has the soon-to-be murder victim on the tram, riding around seeing the attractions, like Jaws and the burning …
Threads of Time (2012 Chinese Movie)
Thread of Time is a romance film with some documentary aspects that follows the life of a talented prostitute, Liu Ru Shi.
I don’t know what to make of this movie, it is the first of its kind that I’ve watched. It is atmospheric but awfully slow and mellow. The dialogues …
Movie The good night
I must admit that I was confused about the introduction of the film “The Good Night”. To be honest, I thought I had put the wrong DVD in my DVD player and had to check it out. I confirm that “The Good Night” directed by Jack Parlow, brother of …
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015 Comedy Drama Movie)
Despite a few bad reviews, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” is one of the best coming of age films I’ve watched in a very long time. I had an inkling that it would end up being a tearjerker from the title, but to my surprise it was in …
Dennis The Menace (The Movie)
Dennis the Menace was an adorable television show about a troublesome little boy. They turned it into an even more adorable movie. Dennis is still causing Mr. Wilson to become stressed out as he tries to help him and Mrs. Wilson is still telling him that Dennis is just …
Spiderman 3
Spiderman 3 is the third in a series of films based around our friendly neighbourhood web-swinger; part of a vastly growing movie franchise: the comic book adaptation, many examples of which are due for release this summer.
As a comic book fan I often find that these films are like …
Sleepy Hollow
Remember this movie, Sleepy Hollow starring Johnny Depp and Cristina Ricci? Yes, the movie rocks so much that I love to keep on watching it. In fact, whenever my favorite horror movie fans buddies come over or I come over to any of their houses for a movie …
She’s The Man
My friend often talks abut how good this movie is but it took a little while before I saw the movie myself. At first, I thought that it was just one of those flirty high school movies because at the start of the film it was more of those …
Before I say goodbye
I woke up with a cold yesterday and slept all day. Today I was kind of tired so I just tried to stay in bed for most of the day. I couldn’t really get to sleep but I didn’t feel like getting up or doing anything. So I decided …

Hellboy: Sword of Storms
I am not the biggest Hellboy fan around. Never read the comic books. Watched part of the live action movie starring Ron Pearlman, but didn’t find myself particularly enraptured by it. So I decided to give his first animated feature, Hellboy: Sword of Storms (also starring …
Dinosaur animated movie
Dinosaur is a great animated movie. This movie came out around 2000 or so. It’s most suitable for children or young teens but I think it can also be enjoyed by adults. I certainly enjoyed it. The scenery is breath taking. The animation is so good that it almost …
The Forgotten movie
The Forgotten was an alright movie. I remember watching this movie. I didn’t think it was the best movie ever, but it was still cool. I liked the story a little. I think that the whole alien abduction thing was pretty cool and I must say that I did enjoy …

Music and Lyrics
For people who grew up in the 80’s, much of the subtle humor in the recent movie, “Music and Lyrics” is not as subtle as it is obvious and in your face. From the incredibly cheesy music videos, to the fanatical gyrations of a has-been, this movie made me …
Roxanne 1987 movie
What a pathetic movie. The story is stolen from Cyrano de Bergerac, modernized and stupidified. Steve Martin plays a big-nosed guy, smart and good-hearted but unattractive. Then comes Roxanne, a beautiful scientist. A handsome but brainless fellow likes her, however he is so scared to show his stupidity that …
The Prince and Me 2
The Prince and Me 2 is a romantic fairy tale type of movie. It is about a normal girl named Page Morgan who is engaged to marry Edvard the prince of The Danish Monarchy. Page is going to college to be a doctor and is about to take her …
Widow’s Peak (movie)
I enjoyed this movie very much, not just because it stars the luscious Natasha Richardson, but because the dynamic between Richardson’s character and the character played by Mia Farrow is a delightful tongue-in-cheek account of Anglo-Irish relations that appeals to both my English and Irish ancestors. Their rivalry …
Hills Have Eyes Movie
I’m a big fan of horror movies. I love being scared and wondering what is going to happen next. So of course I had to rent the DVD “The Hills Have Eyes. The overall concept of the movie sounds scary, all american family get lost in …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
The Time Traveler’s Wife stars Rachel McAdams as Clare Abshire, an artist, and Eric Bana as Henry DeTamble, a man with an unusual genetic defect that causes him to travel through time unexpectedly.
The movie centers around the relationship between the two main characters. Although they are in love, they …
The Movie Annie (1999 version)
I grew up with the Original Annie. I loved the movie and the “Tomorrow ” song still plays in my head from time to time. So when I saw the 1999 version on television, I decided to watch it. I had never seen it before and thought …
Ocean’s Eleven
I am a huge fan of all of the Ocean’s movies, Ocean’s eleven probably being my favorite of the three so far. What I love about this movie is that the makers never forget that this movie if made up of STARS and every single characters gets to …

Carriers movie
I have watched Carriers movie with my boyfriend. He is an avid fan of scary, horror, and suspense movies and I’m the scared one, but I still watch it with him. He was the one who suggested that we watch Carriers when it was shown last year. The story …
Columbo: Grand Deceptions movie
Columbo: Grand Deceptions is not one of the movies I enjoy very much. While Peter Falk is always intriguing and watching him facing off against all the murderers is the joy of the Columbo series, some of the ones that surround the military or politics just don’t work …
Fright Night (2011 Movie)
As much as I hate Hollywood’s love affair with vampires and remakes, I love this movie way better than the original. I didn’t actually see the original Fright Night until a month before the new one came out, and I was disappointed (probably because it was about 20 years …
The Notebook (movie)
The Notebook is a wonderful love story. This movie is a great movie if you are ready to cry. Also it lets you see more in depth the actually things that a person dealing with alzheimer’s disease really goes through and the heart ache that the family of the …
The 40 Year Old Virgin movie
The 40 Year Old Virgin was surprisingly good. I thought it might be just a dumb comedy, but it was a comedy with heart and some intelligence. Steve Carrell plays the titular character without become a caricature. Sure he does some nerdy things like collect huge …
Valkyrie (2008)
I enjoyed Valkyrie more than most war movies. It’s a story quite different from most WWII films. I expected to turn it off halfway though, but got a surprise when the movie pull me in! It’s got good substance and a story to tell that few of …
Antz Disney Movie
Antz is one of Disney’s newer movies to be released on dvd. I have seen it multiple times, and it again and again impresses me. Its anamations are so impressive, and I am forever astounded at how detailed the characters’ facial gestures are, and how fluent their …
Superbad (R, 2007) movie
Seth Rogen is my new hero. After seeing how funny he was in “The Forty Year-Old Virgin”, and then how endearing he was in “Knocked Up”, I knew that “Superbad” would be a hoot. He wrote and had an acting role in the film, which …

Rope (1948) Movie
I had heard that Alfred Hitchcock’s —˜Rope’ was not one of his best and it is sometimes even said that it is not very good. I gave it a go though as it was on TV recently and I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. I think Hitchcock is …
Eye in the Sky (2015 Thriller Movie)
The first time I heard of the movie “Eye in the Sky” was actually when I was waiting to see another movie and saw this one in the coming attractions. I was very fascinated in the concept around the movie. This was because I thought was similar to a few …
Transformers
When I first learned they were coming out with a live-action Transformers movie, my first thought was �Well, there�s another 80s TV show being ruined.�
From the previews, it looked like one of those films that would rely heavily on special effects and not offer much in terms of plot. …
“Jane Eyre” with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke
I have seen several movies based on this classic by Charlotte Bronte, and this 1983 version starring Zelah Clarke as Jane and Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester is, in my opinion, by far the best. The plot is very true to the book, and the two leading actors were …
Island Prey (movie)
Island Prey is your typical, bad Lifetime Movie that we all love to hate. Another tired and bored, young housewife married to a rich, old, boring man who is obsessed with his business decides to step outside her marriage to tango with a handsome stranger. Island Prey begins on …
