Sherlock holmes movie
A few days ago I saw Sherlock Holmes in the cinema.
Sherlock Holmes in the old books and the stories were really a thinking man, and not so violent!
But in this movie he is. I have not read the books, so I can not say anything about it.
The movie was …
Dark Ride (R, 2006)
Again, we have yet another slasher film that attempts to “defy” stereotypes that have existed in the past. Ok, well—perhaps the writers and directors weren’t really trying to defy anything. In fact, this type of movie has been done over and over and over and …

National Lampoon’s Stoned Age Unrated, comedy film
A movie so bad they decided to call it something completely different when it was released on video. Stoned Age is the comedy to bear the National Lampoon name. At one time this name met something but now you can see why the National Lampoon series is dreaded by …

Movie Coraline
I enjoy Tim Burton movies, especially the stop motion animation ones such as Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas. So I was very eager to see Coraline. I had high hopes and high expectations. It turns out that I was not disappointed.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier , movie by the Rosso brothers
1st and foremost, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is the best action film out of the whole Marvel movie universe so far, with no exceptions. Just in terms of sheer impact, choreography, execution, clarity of geography and did I mention impact? Because WOW was this film good!. If that …
Underworld
Vampires and werewolves have always made great movies. Other than Gone With The Wind, i think the original Dracula movie is among the most popular of all time. One thing vampire movies have never lacked is a smoking hot girl in them gracing the screen. Usually, the girls end …
Sherrybaby (R, 2006)
For months I have been passing over the movie “Sherrybaby”—”thinking that it was just going to be fluffy sentimental crud that some indie films dish out. Boy was I wrong. The story is hinged on a woman who has been in jail for a few years. …

Sydney White

2010 Movie
This movie was anticipated by all, and at first I honestly wasn’t excited about all the hype as movies are all talk nowadays until you actually get to see them on the big screen. This movie ran at 158 minutes and when I was watching it I didn’t feel …
Inception (2010 film)
In the 2010s a new director is threatening to steal the whole Hollywood show for himself-this director is quickly getting close to the very top of my list and his name is Cristopher Nolan-a film-maker whose every new film is better than the last one. His last one is …
Disney’s Prep & Landing

In 2011, Drive was critically acclaimed for its 80’s throwback style and intense car chase sequences. For comparisons, the likes of Bullitt and French Connection were often cited in many reviews. One movie in particular was left out of those reviews. This is criminal considering the …
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Movie

Movie : Angel Of Death (2009)
I really wasn’t expecting much when I sat down the other night to watch the 2009 movie ANGEL OF DEATH. I have to admit that I usually have a bit of a problem with movies that have strong female leads characters as the film-makers usually get it so wrong.
…
Constantine Movie
In the name of all that is horror…don’t waste your time or money with Constantine. It’s a joke, no, less than a joke, it’s utter rubbish. Keanu Reeves has gotten to be a tired, boring actor who NEEDS to add some spice to his roles/characters. The plot of the …
Clockwork Orange, movie
Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrock film, starring Malcom McDowell.

Top Secret! movie

Jurassic Park 3 movie
