Shutter Island (2010 film)
Martin Scorsese won me with The Departed and continued his amazing streak of great movies with Shutter Island-a psychological thriller motion picture for which I thought that I literraly watched in one breath although throughout the film I was usually out of one.
Tedy Daniels …
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
I brought Eeyan and Natasha, my 2 cute nephew and niece, respectively to watch Kung Fu Panda (2008). It was real super fun and we had a great time. The thing was that I was supposed to go with my date on that day, this 26 year …
Friends sitcom
I love Friends! Who doesn’t?? This is the best of the best sitcom ever! The stories are really funny and relates to everyday life of people with friends. This sitcom does not tell about those too rich kids who can’t do nothing without their …
The Lost (NR, 2005) movie
I thought this movie was supposed to be good. I rented it on Netflix, looking at the four stars and really assumed that there would be some significant twists. But this film was completely lost on me. For one, Ray Pye’s character was not …

I took my 5 and 3 year old to see Hotel for Dogs today. Both kids sat through it and loved it! The movie was very kid friendly and rated appropriately.

Kill Bill Part 1 Starring Uma Thurman

I forgot the names of …
Scent of a Woman
This is one of Hollywood’s classic movies which tackles a very difficult argument about living life to the full and suicides. What I really like about this movie is Al Pacino excellent performance of the role Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade. It is no doubt that he won the Oscar …
Sunshine (DVD)
This is without doubt one of the most horrible movies I’ve ever seen! It is truly awful and as I watched it, it grew worst and worst.
The way they filmed it is just ghastly. There are many scenes in this movie where odd colored bands cover part of …
An Unfinished Affair (movie)
An Unfinished Affair is a movie about a man who cheats on his wife with a beautiful young woman. The young woman, Sheila, is played very well by the sly Jennie Garth. Sheila cannot get past that her lover, Alex, calls off the affair. She vows revenge. Of …
American Graffitti movie
American Graffitti was all the rage when it came out, but it did little for me. In truth, I didn’t see it for a long time after the release, and it may have suffered from overkill. By that, I mean that there was so much publicity for …
Captivity film
Elisha Cuthbert, Daniel Gillies
MA 15+ Strong violence, blood and gore.
I should have known that this film was going to turn my stomach. I’m not the blood and gore kind of girl but I am a Roland Joffe (director of the Killing Fields) fan.
First let me say that the rating …

Half Nelson Movie
Half Nelson is one of those movie that you absolutely have to watch more than once just because you can never get all the details and all the meaning from the first time. There is not a single false movie in the movie, there isn’t a single acting moment …

Four Rooms (R-1995) movie
Anyone who’s a fan of Madonna or Quentin Tarantino has probably found their careers to lead them to a film called Four Rooms. It’s basically a vignette of sorts: Four rooms in a hotel are rented out on New Year’s Eve, to four groups of guests. The …

Movie Watchmen
If you are looking for a regular super hero movie about people with special powers who are trying to save the world I think this film will disappoint you. Although it is about saving the world and about people with special powers it is certainly not a regular superhero …
Step Up 3D
Today I had gone out with a couple of friends and decided to watch a movie. We had arrived at the Scotiabank Theatre and looked upon the movie listings and decided to watch Step Up 3D. So we bought our tickets and went into the theatre. The movie starts …
Garden State: Movie
Garden State is one of my favourite films. I didn’t know quite what to make of the plot when I first read about it, but the beautifully written script and the well acted characters that you will just fall in love with make it a must see for independent …
The North Star movie
The North Star from 1943 shows the will and resolve of a good people when faced with a giant oppression. It takes place in a Polish village. The opening theme is so light and bouncy that you don’t even suspect the horror that is to come as the …

Open Season
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 …
Hot Shots Part Deux
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sequel to the movie Hot Shots; Hot Shots Part Deux. And I have to admit, after seeing it again this morning, it’s as good as I remember it being.
While the first Hot Shots movie made fun of the film Top Gun, …
Days of our lives
I have been an avid watcher of Days of our lives soap opera for many years. So it is only natural that I choose to do a review on one of my favorite daytime dramas. There are many of the original characters that have been played by the same …
Interview with a Vampire
Interview with a Vampire was a great vampire movie! I thought it was very creative how the vampire tells the reporter the whole story while we see what he is telling. Also I think that Brad Pitt and Christian Slater did a great job of acting as vampires. The movie …
Wanted movie
I’m such a huge fan of Angelina Jolie that I’ve seen every film she has starred in. The latest of which is “Wanted”, the action-packed flick based on the comics by Mark Millar and JG Jones and directed by Timur Bekmambetov about Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) a man who …
The Matrix Revolutions movie
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 …
Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

Precious movie 2009
Precious is not a movie that I probably would have chosen to see, had it not won so many awards. However, it did, and I became curious and I am glad I did see it. It is a sad, yet inspiring story that will make you stop and think twice …
The Karate Kid (2010)
I was a huge fan of the Karate Kid released in 1984 so when I first heard of a movie remake I was thrilled to the bone. Upon knowing that Jackie Chan would take the place of the late Mr. Noriyuki “Pat” Morita, the thing that first hit me, …
Holiday in Handcuffs
ABC Family’s holiday movie, Holiday in Handcuffs can be summarized in three words; cute but predictable.
While I like the concept behind this movie (a waitress kidnaps a customer and pretends he’s her boyfriend at her family Christmas gathering), I do think the story used a few too many cliches …
A Perfect Murder (1998)
Michael Douglas plays Steven Taylor, a wealthy hedge fund manager, Gwyneth Paltrow plays the seemingly loving and supportive wife Emily, Viggo Mortensen plays the role of the other man, killer and con man, together these three individuals bite off more than they can chew in this thriller about love …
The Brood movie
A crazy scientist is creating an army of freaks in this supernatural horror film by David Cronenberg, perhaps one of the most disgusting films I ever saw in this genre, but also one of the most overwhelming. The tension is slowly built up and culminates in a macabre final …
Thor (movie)
One of the movies I had been looking forward to seeing since 2010 was the movie “Thor”. This was not only because I’m a big comic book fan, but because it sounded like it was going to be big from the start. When I watched it for the first …
Pay It Forward
Pay It Forward is a nice movie in the genre of drama. The movie stars Haley Joel Osment, Helen Hunt and Kevin Spacey. Haley Joel Osment, the kid who impressed everyone with his powerful performance in The Sixth Sense plays the pivotal role in this movie and he doesn’t …
Blood Diamond movie
I’m not a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio eventhough he is one of Hollywood’s hottest and most sought-after actors. Not until I saw Blood Diamond. This movie made me his no. 1 fan. I saw Titanic and Romeo and Juliet which didn’t really showcase his acting prowess. But I …
Sing, Cowboy, Sing movie
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. …
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (movie)
I am not, and have never been a fan of the Stephenie Meyer series, especially since I consider myself as a fan of the classic vampire folklore. However, I was forced to see it when it was still showing in theatres since nothing else I was even a quarter …
Caddyshack 2 Movie
While I am not one of the biggest fans of golf, I love Caddyshack 2. And believe me, it’s not for the golf. It’s for the comedy. While I have seen the first Caddyshack, I saw the second movie first and I always seem to rotate back to the …
Days of Darkness
Watching Days of Darkness totally scared the hell out of me. I find the storyline very scary and in fact, if I were to be one of the characters, I would faint several times already. The cover of this DVD movie is also very scary and don’t let …
Devil Wears Prada
Plot
I watched this movie recently and fell in love with it. The story deals with a Andera who is a fresh graduate, and is looking for job in journalism but to get them she first goes for a job as a second personal assistant under the editor of a …
The Kingdom Movie
Not knowing anything about the movie The Kingdom, I added it to my Netflix queue. I figured since it starred Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, and Chris Copper it would probably be a decent movie. Right from the very beginning of the movie it was very action involved. The movie …
