The Hurt Locker
I had been encouraged to watch this year’s Oscar winning movie, “The Hurt Locker”, for a few months before I finally sat down and put the film on. While I don’t usually like war movies, I thought that this particular production might be worth a few hours of my …
“Day of the Dead” (2008) Film
“Day of the Dead” (2008) is something of a remake of the original film by the same name. It’s directed by Steve Miner, who has such credits under his directorial belt as 1999’s “Lake Placid.” That should have been my first hint, though I didn’t pay attention to the …
Iron Man
I believe that “Iron Man” is the best super hero movie for this year. What is really interesting about this movie is that it brings two great actors Robert Downey Junior and Gwyneth Partlow together on big screen for a great movie blockbuster.
In an interview, …
The Contract (2006)
“The Contract,” a 2006 production of Contract Productions, is a thriller movie starring Morgan Freeman and John Cusack. It was shot in color and lasts for 96 minutes. Although purportedly in Washington State, much of the film was shot on location in Bulgaria. The movie has an R rating …
Sleepwalkers (1992)
This horror movie like most horror movies goes, does not start off like your regular horror movie or does it. LOL, from the beginning, this movie has introduced the viewing audience that there are creatures in this world since the dawn of time known as sleepwalkers, and the main …
Doghouse Movie
The undead, infected, and zombies have been in every independent horror, comedy, and even action movie as of late. If you have a laughable budget then it must be written somewhere that you have to make a movie like this. At least Doghouse takes the trendy concept and adds …
Strike Commando, movie (1987)
Italian films of the early 70’s to late 80’s had a reputation of knocking off American hit films. Despite the low budgets, the films had a charming quality about them. Director Bruno Mattei was one of a number of directors to make a career of delivering the …
Feature Film “The Reaping”
I first saw this film when it came on tv. The subject seemed interesting and although I am not a Hillary Swank fan in any way I decided to give it a try because the plot sounded really different. Hillary plays a woman who was once a …
Thor (movie 2011)
Thor…Thor…Thor…
If you’ve never heard or read about norse mythology then this name might mean nothing to you. Apparently, I have a little background so I know who Thor is. Thor is the
God of thunder (that’s the only thing that I could remember though), in the movie he also …
Just Friends
Ah the classic, “I love you, just not like that,” or “We’re just friends” lines. Who hasn’t said, or heard, one of those? We’ve all been the victims of unrequited love. This movie takes this natural occurance to a new and hilarious level.
Ryan Reynolds, as usual, plays an absolutely …
The movie Snow Buddies
Snow Buddies…. oh my goodness. There were so many Air Bud films that it was ridiculous. Now comes this one, yet another air bud movie that is so much like Snow Dogs that its sickening.
This movie is about 5 golden retriever puppies whose curiosity gets them landed in …
Movie Just Friends
I must admit I don’t like watching Ryan Reynolds movies. For some reason, he is obsessed with the words ‘fuck’ and ’sex’, however he managed to convince me in this comedy movie with the name “Just Friends”. I like this movie because Reynolds finally managed to involve himself in …
Remember Me Movie
Okay, I admit it I only watched this movie because of Robert Pattinson and their beautiful movie poster that hung at the cinema every time I pass by. Having said that, I find the movie a bit dragging and the emotions they portray are blown out of proportion. …
Pacific Rim Movie
I must admit that when I first heard that there will be a new movie about giant robots, I was not too pleased. I’m not a fan of the “Transformers” movie series and I was expecting something with a lot of noise and no sense , although I am …
Ocean’s 8 movie
I love going to the cinema to watch new movies, however, a lot of the new movies turn out to be quite disappointing. Ocean’s 8 is one of those movies that can be both phenomenal and boring, so you don’t know what you’re going to get when you buy a …
Hoosier Schoolboy movie
The beginning of Hoosier Schoolboy introduces the audience to a town divided by some kind of milk strike. The farmers are being accused of high pricing, so milk is being brought in from elsewhere. I have to admit, in my entire life, I have never heard of …
Movie The Proposal
Featuring two of my favorite actors, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, this movie leaves much to be desired. The story follows a publisher, Margaret Tate who is Bullock’s character to hatch a hare-brained scheme to marry her assistant to renew her visa. Her assistant, Andrew Tate played …
This Land Movie
A parody on the presidential election in USA 2004 where animated versions of George Bush and John Kerry insults each other in the most bizarre way. Even though this is very exaggerated it is easy to understand what the filmmakers point was. However, I can’t see why one would …
Diary Of A Mad Black Woman movie (2005)
Diary Of A Mad Black Woman is one my favorite movies from the Director Tyler Perry. I personally consider it to be one of his classics and better written stories. Compared to some of his latest films, this one is actually gripping because the storyline is true and happens to …
Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007)
Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, directed by Dennis Dugan is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for crude sexual content throughout, nudity, language and drug references. The original release date was July 20, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of …
A.M.C. Theatres
A.M.C. is a theatre in Ontario - but it is not as famous as ‘famous players theatre’ because it is relatively new. If you go on weekdays, it is practically deserted. A lot of people even sneak in because they barely have any security on weekdays so I think …
The Eye Movie
The Eye is one of those movies that I kind of wanted to see, but I really wasn’t sure if I would like it. As one of those rare (very rare) horror fans that never really liked the Japanese imports, I’ve been more than a little disappointed at the …
Airplane 2: The Sequel (1982)
A great sequel to a funny and classic movie. Ted Striker returns to attempt to save a lunar shuttle flight to the moon when a computer malfunction sends the flight on a one-way trip to the sun. Throughout the movie, you are guaranteed to laugh.
Let’s start with Robert Hays, …
Come Back, Little Sheba movie
Come Back, Little Sheba is a classic black and white film made in 1952. When I first heard about this movie, I really thought Come Back, Little Sheba was about little more than a lost dog and his heartbroken owner. Come Back, Little Sheba is beautifully done, even though …

Walt Disney’s Dumbo (1941 Movie)
Last night I watched Dumbo with my wife and 3 year old girl on the TV and I can’t tell you which one of the three enjoyed the movie the most. It’s a charming movie with the right doses of humor that just appeals to the whole family.
Dumbo is …
Rocket Science movie
Unlike its title, the movie “Rocket Science” has almost nothing to do with anything scientific. However, I till admit that the plot makes it quite an interesting and unusual teenage film. In fact, I’m still trying to recall right now if I’ve ever seen another film with a similar …
Shame (movie)
Ever since I’ve discovered his movies, the actor Michael Fassebender has become not one of my favourite, but one of the actors who I’ve found to be most interesting. I believe that this especially stemmed from when I saw him in X-Men Origns as a young Magneto. I was …
Galaxy Cinemas in Peterborough
The Galaxy Cinemas is a great place to go to for the movies. It has the best environment. When you walk in, there are arcades and gamerooms in front of you. This is always great to have when waiting for the movie. Another key feature of Galaxy, are the …

I am reviewing The Three Gables, a Sherlock Holmes episode on the boxed set, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, produced by Granada in the 1990’s. This episode finds Holmes and Watson against ruffians who are hired by a cold feeling woman to steal this poor old woman’s grandson’s …

The Purge, 2013 Movie
For one night a year, all crime is legal. It’s a very compelling idea for a movie, right? If the film is well executed then yes, but in the case of The Purge, it’s really nothing more than an average movie.
The Purge was one of the first movies in …

Enchanted
“Enchanted” is a fantastic musical film for all those who believe in dreams and fairytales. In a nutshell, this film is a modern day fairytale partly filmed and partly animated. I have noticed that the same concept of filming was used also in the recent “Alving and the Chipmunks” …
Twister movie
If you ever want to rent a movie to learn more about Tornadoes, the film Twister is the one you should avoid.

As is often …
From Justin to Kelly (2003)
This movie, starring the winner and second place runner for the American Idol competition, is nothing more than a publicity stunt to get the names and faces of these two nobodies and the time some well deserved attention. Bearing that in mind will help you to understand that this …
Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who (2008)
Let me first say that our last name is HORTON, so this movie is definitely a treat, especially for the kids. They love the fact their last name is in a movie. It’s a treat for us adults who love Jim Carrey AND Steve Carell, who were both in …
Finding Neverland movie
This movie, starring Johnny Depp, is wonderful. It feature Johnny Depp as a playwright who befriends a family of boys. Their mother is unfortunately sick.
The main character writes a play, called Peter Pan, which is mostly based on the boys’ playtimes and made up stories he tells the boys …

88 Minutes movie 2007
There’s nothing like a good Al Pacino movie but this wasn’t one of them. 88 minutes is a thriller that will confuse you until the very end. Mostly because the things that happen in it are so unrealistic and unbelievable that you think “there must be something more,” yet at …
Cinema Paradiso (1988 film)
This film made me cry. Maybe because I’m prone to nostalgia or maybe because I’ve always loved cinema, and “Cinema Paradiso” (”Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” by its original Italian title) is both a movie steeped in nostalgia and a movie obviously made by a lover of the movies.
The story of …
Barracuda by Philippe Haim
French cinema has always been boring to me. However, I cannot say so for Barracuda. This French thriller is absolutely disturbing and I do not recommend it for sensitive souls. The beginning is calm but then it is followed by a merciless duel between the two main characters.
Mr Clement …
A Reasonable Man movie
Some time ago, I watched an interesting South African film called “A Reasonable Man” on one of the Starz channels. The main question that the movie revolved around was ‘who exactly can be defined as a reasonable man in a multi-cultural society?’ and that was something I realised I …
A Man Called Ove (2016 Swedish Comedy-Drama Film)
There are hidden treasures from the film industries of other countries. If you know how to find them then you are lucky. Usually, the best way to get started is to look for the nominees of Best Foreign-Language Film at the Oscars, they have a wide variety to choose from. …
The Dark Knight Rises 2012 Film
I was not intending to write a review of this film, but I am afraid that I simply have to do that. I watched it tonight, and, I will put it out there right away: I have wasted a rather big amount of time. I do not want my …
