The Longest Day
Arguably, the best war film ever to be made. I believe it was filmed in 1962. Big names like, John Wayne, Richard Burton and Sean Connery to name a few, starred in this black & white movie.
What intrigued me the most about this flick was that the Americans/British spoke …

The Reader movie
The reader is an Oscar winning movie. It released a bit late in my country and when it was released, I decided to see it on the very first day itself.
This film is unique in terms of showing the side of a German who was directly involved in the …
Dora the Explorer DVD We’re a Team
I recently purchased one of the newer Dora the Explorer DVD’s “We’re a Team” for my daughter. Overall, I think it was a great purchase.

Sydney White movie
I admit I really love watching Amanda Bynes movies. “Sydney White” together with “What a Girl Wants” is simply my favourite. I like the work of this actress so much because she seems to be the Molly Rigward of our time.
In his film we see Amanda Bynes as Sydney …
The Day the Earth Stood Still
OK, when I watch a science fiction movie, I expect space aliens to be aggressive and to desire taking over our planet. I don’t want them to come here to be our friends (unless of course that happens in real life).
That’s why the movie The Day the Earth Stood …

Fifty Shades of Grey (erotic romance movie)
I remember when the book Fifty Shades of Grey became so popular that even people who I knew never bought a book in their lives began to devour it mostly for the sex scenes. Then of course when the movie came out, everyone claimed that I just had to see …
Robin Hood: Men in Tights movie
I love Mel Brooks movies and I have to say Robin Hood: Men in Tights has to be his very best film.
Cary Elwes puts on a very good performance as Robin Hood and, even though this is a parody, may actually be the best Robin Hood I’ve ever seen …
Movie Curse of the Devil 1972
Why would you make a werewolf movie with a title that evokes an Exorcist rip-off?
More Waldemar the Werewolf fun has Paul Naschy once again donning the furry costume to bring mayhem on the villagers. Only this time, it is a pretty tired exercise that misses the fun and wacky …
Incrediable Hulk 2008

A Low Down Dirty Shame Movie
“A Low Down Dirty Shame” is a 90s movie that was written and directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Not only does Keenen Ivory Wayans play the main character, Shame, he is also joined with a pretty decent cast: Jada Pinkett Smith, Charles S. Dutton, Andrew Divoff, and Salli Richardson-Whitfield.
Shame …
Bratz Babyz movie
I’ve always said, if it keeps my daughter occupied, it’s a great movie. And, Bratz Babyz is one of those movies.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb plot. A bunch of toddler girls are able to wander a mall unsupervised without anyone noticing while trying to rescue their kidnapped dog. …
Movie Love Wrecked
I honestly love watching Amanda Bynes movies, however “Love Wrecked” must be her worst movie since the story is not credible at all.
In “Love Wrecked” we see Amanda Bynes interpret the role of Jenny Riley who is totally crazy about a famous and popular rock star, Jason Master. …
Pirates 3
After waiting for one long year, the third (and last?) part of the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy finally arrived. My daughter and I both attended an opening night show. We thought it was great! The effects, as was the case in the first two movies, …

With some great animation movies like Frozen, Smurfs 2 and Despicable Me 2 releasing in the same year, the question is: Is Free Birds worth your time and Money? Fortunately, the answer is yes!

Count Duckula cartoon
“Count Duckula” was one of my favourite cartoons as a child. I loved everything about it, from the theme song to the drawings and the plot. However, the only thing I disliked was the fact that I would rarely see it on local television. In fact, of the few …

I saw this movie, and you have got to believe this I was in some kind of hallucination or translation while I was watching it. The movie really pulled me into it and I was almost like lost in it. It was as if you have entered some kind …
Disaster Movie
Disaster Movie almost turned out to be a disaster for me. My husband and I rented it the other night. I usually don’t really like spoof movies because I think they are dumb and a waist of time but my husband wanted to see it so I gave in. …
Can I do It Till I Need Glasses (movie)
I do not exactly remember where I saw the film “Can I do It—¦Till I Need Glasses” anymore, but I do know that the reason why I paid it any attention in the first place is because I was told that the film starred a young robin Williams. Nevertheless, …
March of the Penguins
March of the Penguins is one of my favorite movies and one I have watched several times. It is a documentary of the lives and struggles of Emperor penguins on the Antarctic continent but it is anything but boring. Narrated by Morgan Freeman this documentary is touching, …
Duplex movie
I must admit that “Duplex” is definitely one of my Ben Stiller’s favourite movies, even though it was a cinema flop. I believe that Ben Stiller and the actress, Drew Barrymore make a great on screen couple and you simply cannot watch this movie and end up not having …
Without A paddle
This is a great movie for a day that you want to just kick your feet back and relax, maybe laugh a little. It was really funny in some parts, other parts were just ok funny. I really enjoyed watching it, and bought the movie. I would watch it …
The Punisher 1989 Version
I’m glad I saw the newer Punisher, with John Travolta as the villain, before I saw the original Punisher, starring Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle. It started out with promise, with Castle already presumed dead, and Punisher on his vigilante jaunt for five years now. Then it quickly …
The Glass House Movie
This movie has a really nice title but it’s hype and mystery isn’t at all what it seems to be. This movie features 2 young orphans who are taken in by their guardians who were really close friends of their parents and of their family as well; at first …

A couple days ago I first saw the film ‘The Fighting Sullivans’, and I have to say that I REALLY enjoyed it. It was released in 1944, and was based on the true story of the Sullivan brothers, all of whom fought in World War II (don’t want to …
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 …
The Women movie
When I agreed to take my wife to see the movie “The Women” my first thought was “what have I gotten myself into?” However, after watching it with her, I will admit, it wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be.
While obviously a classic chick flick, I found …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a romantic comedy with an almost universal appeal, simply because it is, at it’s heart, a great movie. The plot isn’t meant to appeal solely to women, or even towards men, as one would expect from a Judd Apatow Production. Instead, it is a movie …

Movie Stargate
We like to watch movies, it is one of favorite pastimes. We saw the movie Stargate on cable last week. It starred Kirk Russle and it was very well done.
In this movie the opening scenes show a dig in Egypt in the 1920’s a young girl …
Jackie Brown
Quentin Tarantino takes a different route than usual with his third cinematic outing. His trademark humour and dialogue is still there, but things are a lot more casual and linear than his previous efforts.
The film follows Jackie Brown; a down on her luck, middle aged flight stewardess who, …

Movie: Elf
The family is in bed early tonight. And, since I don’t have much else to do, I’m sitting on the couch watching the movie Elf.

The Incredible Hulk, Louis Leterrier Movie
In my mind, with change whole range of players and the director of movies before. Making The Incredible Hulk to be better. That’s my opinion first before watching. Well, that assumption was incorrect. The film is clearly not uncommon, although perhaps a little better with Hulk from Ang Lee. …
The Pacifier
The Pacifier is a pretty funny movie. I thought it was funny seeing Vin Diesel star in a funny movie. We are so used to seeing him in action and violent movies. This was a nice anf funny change for Vin Diesel. I think that the film was OK, it …
Grandview USA movie
1984’s Grandview USA stars Patrick Swayze and Jamie Lee Curtis as high school friends who discover love many years later. Surprisingly, Swayze and Curtis do well together. It’s not a pair I would normally think of, but they work for the way in which their characters are …
