Movie The Strangers
This 2008 release is a very disappointing movie. I’ve seen the trailer a few times so I thought it would be a good horror movie. However, I found the introduction long and dragging. There were several “quiet” scenes where the characters were just being sad and depressed and not …
Murder by Numbers (2002)
I rented this movie mostly because of Sandra Bullock, she is always good. She was good here as well, although the character she plays, a homicide detective Cassie Mayweather, is somewhat unlikable.

The Proposal (2009) - Movie

Dazed and Confused movie
Over the years, I have seen a lot of these types of films, and yet, I think one of the best coming of age movies was the film “Dazed and Confused” which was released in nineteen ninety three. At first, I used to wonder what the name of the …

Remember the Titans is in my opinion the second greatest football movie ever made after Brian’s Song. Sure, the movie is a bit predictable but that is the case for any film based on a true story. Not that big a deal in my opinion. I …

This was a 2000 A&E television production, and is now available on DVD. The movie is an interweaving of two stories: the 18th century invention of the marine chronometer by John Harrison, and the 20th century restoration of the timepieces by Rupert Gould.

Brigadoon MGM musical
Brigadoon is an MGM musical from 1954 that still delights to this day. It’s a quieter fare than most, but it has a genuine quality to it that lulls the viewer in. This movie is relevant to today, too, because we’re still in such a rat race, …
Munich movie
I definitly had to watch this movie because, apart from being a Stefen Spielberg movie, it was filmed mostly in my native country, Malta. I was particulary impressed by the focus point of the story. This is not a movie about terrorism, but it is a movie about the …

Kaw
I used to love original movies on the television station “SyFy” but I have to say most of them are starting to look like rip-offs from better known movies.
Take the one I watched yesterday for example; “Kaw.” This movie has a small town being infested with Ravens that are …
Movie Music and Lyrics
“Music and Lyrics” is not the best movie for Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore; however it is not a movie that you must ignore. The best aspect of this movie is the music. I keep remembering and singing the songs for hours after watching.
The story of this movie is …
Hero (2004) Movie
A movie about a plot to kill the emperor…now where has this been done before?? The use of colours in this movie is overdone and it makes the movie confusing as well. Each different explanation of a particular story brings a different colour in play…what are the colours trying …

Just Friends film
Typically, when you try to turn a love story into a comedy, it turns out to be funny. But, in the case of Just Friends, it’s just pathetic.

Three
Well, I will admit, that was a pretty good movie. When we decided to watch the film Three, I figured it would be like every other thriller I ever watched, with a few intense moments but a plot that was pretty easy to follow and would be too predictable.
But, …
Taken Movie
I watched Taken for how many times now and this movie never fails to give me excitement. It stars Liam Neeson as the father of a girl that was kidnapped in Paris by Albanians. The story not only pure action and little drama, it also gives lesson for other …

Can’t Buy Me Love, movie
Although there are many films out there about the diamond in the rough teenager who just needs a little push to be less awkward, none quite matches the charm of this film with Patrick Dempsey long before he was famous. In fact it has hard to imagine the man …
DVD: Hidden Places
I enjoyed watching “Hidden Places” very much. Made for television by Hallmark Entertainment, the a wholesome, family-oriented film comfortably entertains without being overly sweet. The family owns an orange grove in California but faces the threat of foreclosure by the bank. If this sounds familiar, it should because it …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This movie is set in the fifties. The ending is really surprising although the rest of the movie follows along just as you would expect you to. I thought the predictability of the movie was a real drag. It’s like I could have written the script …

Avatar 3D (2009, James Cameron)
I love this film.
I had heard a few grumbles about the ‘lack of plot’ and that watching 3D was tiring and made some people feel sick, and that the effects ruled the film and became too much.
Stuff and nonsense.
First of all, yes - the 3D glasses are not …
House of Wax movie
Not the one to come out earlier this year, but the original 1950s movie with Vincent Price. I believe it was the first film shot in 3D tecnique, but of course that loses its effect if you don’t watch it with 3D-glasses at the theatre, which I didn’t do.
The …
