When John Claude Van Dam and Bruce Lee introduced martial arts tournament movies to the American audience, it spawned a generation of copycat films of lesser quality. Shoot Fighter is one of these. You …

It took me a while to get around to watching “The Weight of Water” with Sean Penn. I am a Penn fan. But this film’s synopsis just seemed so trite and boring. Wow, was I wrong. The movie is based on a …

I thought The Insider was a great movie. This movie was very exciting and interesting. It shows how dangerous being an insider with info can be. This is a story about a man who is an insider at the Tobacco industry. He works for the Tobacco industry, but he knows …

The movie “Return to Me” can be easy described as a ‘mission impossible’ attempt for three persons the director Bonny Hunt and the two main actors, David Duchovny and Minnie Driver. For Bonny Hunt, who is much more known as an actress, this is the first movie …

I have never seen a Gus Van Sant film, however obviously the fact that he is a well-known director tipped me off to the fact that there might be something worth checking out there. Going through my Netflix on a lazy Sunday, I discovered a movie called Paranoid Park, …

From 1936, Gene Autry stars in a double role in The Big Show. As the country singer and actor often did, his ‘nice’ guy role uses his real name of Gene Autry. In this case, he’s a stuntman who sings. His other part is that of …

‘Feed me, Seymour!’ cries the hungry, man eating plant in Little Shop of Horrors. I love that line! That line is one of my favorite lines from a movie. Now I am not talking about the Little Shop of Horrors version made in the 1980s, I am talking about …

My daughter loves Dr. Seuss books so I recently picked her up a movie based off of one of them “The Lorax.” And, I have to say, despite the fact it was obviously filmed years ago, it was still quite a good movie.
If you haven’t seen the movie or …

Have you guys ever watched the movie Deep Blue Sea which I think was ‘hot’ during 1999..? I caught it on TV the other day and comparing this to Jaws, both have their own ‘uniqueness’, sense of overwhelming danger and suspense.
There is also LL Cool J in …

This movie, more or less, is a buddy film, reminiscent of The Emperor’s New Groove. It is not so much a story of survival, as both animals are in their elements. Even though Boog is a fat, pampered, domesticated animal, none of the other animals in the forest are …

A year after the glamorous finale of the last trilogy of Batman with “The Dark Knight Rising” in theaters appeared another, perhaps even more epic adventure , inspired by the comic book universe of DC. “Man of Steel” launches a new series of Superman - the oldest and most …

Inception is an 2010 action, adventure and mystery movie directed by one of my favourite directors Christopher Nolan who has directed the successful Batman movies. The movie was doing very well on the box-office and my expectations were pretty high after knowing that my favourite actor Leonardo DiCaprio is …

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, released in 2010, starts out a bit surprisingly in my mind by giving what is essentially a recap of the history of Merlin. I understand it because it is the exposition that really explains what the movie is going to be about, which is Balthazar …

The story takes place in Scotland. Frankie (Jack McElhone), a nine-year-old deaf boy, is being raised by his single mother Lizzie (Emily Mortimer) and his grandmother, and as long as he can remember they have been moving and traveling from one place to another. Frankie does not know that …

Remember Rick Morranis in Little Shop of Horrors? Well take a twisted theme, subtract the alien plant, and add a pyschodic barbor and you’ve got Tim Burton’s Todd Sweeny. The movie was a bit fruity with it being a complete musical, but the plot is there. Tim Burton must …

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 …

I expected more from this movie. Yes, it was nice to see Johnny Depp as the funny Captain Jack Sparrow again, and Orlando Bloom as Will Turner with his sword fighting, and of course the beautiful Keira Knightley as Elizabeth. But the story was empty to me. From the …

I find the movie Exiled pretty similar to one particular movie like a gangster wanting to be good type of story. Exiled is something like that, but the difference is that the setting of this movie is in Macau.
Anthony Wong and Francis Ng star and they sort of like …

This film features Steve Martin, in a time where he was probably the funniest man in the whole world, as the brain surgeon who falls in love with a brain without a body (!) during a trip to Austria.
A quite bizarre that is totally dependent on the performance by …

An extraordinary film, which is supported by the story and that is not normal. Where we see from the two sides. Contrasting with the Kingdom of the most talked about police searching for evidence. But this movie, we see from the two sides are different. Not many movie scenes …

Before this week, my exposure to Tex Ritter was just knowing that he was a singing cowboy and that he was John Ritter’s father. In fact, watching him, all I could think about was John. I saw John in Tex so much that it was almost distracting. …

I am not really a huge fan of buddy-comedy movies. I particularly didn’t enjoy 21 Jump Street that I didn’t bother to check out its sequel. However, I am in a real marathon since falling in love with films recently. I have seen most of the “must-see” movies this year …

Director Courtney Solomon’s direction in the film “An American Haunting” was well done in some aspects. I believe that he used the elements of atmosphere to his advantage and played with it to draw the audience into the dark winter of 1818. Unfortunately, like with most of …

As a parent of a 3-year-old girl, I am often concerned by the lack of quality children’s programming on television today. You can still find a few educational shows or cartoons. But, most of the things on TV, including some shows that advertise themselves as for kids, are a …

Reggie goes goth in Dead Like Me: Ashes to Ashes, and I’m not crazy about it because she ignores her precious golden retriever, JD. While it’s a temporary condition, it simply turns me off. I don’t like animals suffering in any way due to human eccentricities.
The Daisy …

I’ve been a fan of the actor Rob Lowe for some time, and so when I saw that he was playing the main role in the movie “Beautiful and Twisted” I was interested to see what it would be all about. I was lucky enough to catch the movie from …

When I first saw Couples Retreat I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The movie has gotten some pretty bad reviews and has even been in the papers for some racist actions.
Firstly I must say that the producers did a terrible thing when they edited out the …

Oh yes…it is a Trilogy. Every body wants to make a trilogy. As if the first two weren’t enough, now we must sit through another long winded three and a half hour movie with the clueless saviour of all. Need I say anymore. Action, storyline, dialogue, monologue…the same as …

Winnie the Pooh has been a favorite cartoon show among kids and kids-at-heart alike.

Each episode is fully-packed with exciting stories and adventures to tell …

In the loop is a political satire that is at times somewhat funny, but other times grossly overdone. The profanity is so extreme that it makes the film seem too unrealistic even for a satire. This film gives character to a hypothetical U S Government, and a hypothetical U K …

A mystical space ship is discovered on the bottom of the ocean and a team of scientists goes down to find out how it got there. Strange things occur while down there and the scientists sense fear for no obvious reason. This film was incredibly well made half way …

“Notting Hill” is one of my favourite all time romantic comedies. I think I like it so much because it presents a very straight forward story with a nice comic touch in it. Even though this movie is all about Julia Roberts and Hugh Grants acting abilities, it also …

I came home early today and my wife was watching the movie “Queen Sized” on TV. I had never heard of the movie and, since it was raining and there wasn’t much else to do, I sat down to watch it with her.
I missed the first half hour or …

I was so bored the other day I looked at my backed up movies and saw that I still haven’t watched the movie Year One. Year One (2009) is a movie that stars Jack Black and Micheal Cera. This movie was one of those comedy movies that I may …

Even though the “The Purge” movie franchise hasn’t exactly had the best ratings, I still continue to watch the movies because I like the concept. As a result, I only had minimal expectations before I watched The Purge: Election Year and it turned out to be every bit as bad …

This was a great movie.
The film, …

I saw this movie last week. Hancock is a breath of fresh air in a genre that is dominated by brooding, serious superheroes with little or no sense of humour. It features Will smith, Charlize theron and Jason Bateman. The story is about John Hancock (Will smith), a reckless …

The horror film “My Little Eye” was a film which I thought had a lot of potential to be a very good horror film if it was written better, was filmed better, had better actors and an even better director. Nevertheless, I think the film failed since it was …

St. Trinian’s is a “legendary” school for girls that is nothing like any other school you’ve ever seen. The Headmistress (played by brilliant actor Rupert Everett) will not comment on students throwing each other over the balcony, but she will yell to tuck their shirts in. Chemistry is all …

I like futuristic films and this one Directed by Danny Canon is really a good one. It starred Sylvester Stallone as Judge Joseph Dredd and the beautiful Dianne Lane as Judge Hershey. This describes a kind of life as a result of earth getting almost totally intoxicated …
