Movie Shooter (2007)
I saw this movie long ago but I’ve seen it again recently and I had to make a review of it, since I really like it.
The story begins in Ethiopia, where we see U.S. military sniper Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) eliminating with his rifle a bunch of terrorist …
Alvin And The Chipmunks
We recently rented the movie “Alvin And the Chipmunks,” and so far the four-year-old in my house has watched it 5 times! She loves it, and so does her 11-year-old brother! In fact, even I, who never particularly liked the cartoon version when I was a kid, am in …
Carlito’s Way (1993)
Carlito, played by Al Pacino is the story of a former gangster who is trying to go straight, but no matter how hard he tries, his past keeps catching up with him and with it the reputation of unlawful activity that got his sent to prison in the first …
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
“Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” 1975, is one ridiculous movie, a treat for a lover of absurdities and slapstick humor. King Arthur and some of his knights are searching for the holy grail. For some reason they ride imaginary horses - yes, that’s right: throughout the movie …
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
The original Planet of the Apes was a unique movie that was both entertaining and made you think. The sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, was still entertaining but definitely not as good as the original movie was.
I thought the whole story line about a race of mutant …
Baise Moi (movie)
“Baise Moi” is a French movie I watched with English subtitles after a friend recommended it to me. I’d rather not reveal what the title translates to in English here, since it would be extremely inappropriate, however, if the curiosity is too great one can simply go to Google …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (fantasy drama movie)
Peter Jackson is one of my favourite directors. Also movies such as those in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit franchise are some of my favourites. Therefore it was definitely a given that I had to watch the last installment in the Hobbit movies, “The Hobbit: The Battle …
Mr. Brooks
I actually was so scared when I watch this movie. It seems like there could be a real story like this out there, and that made me so scared.
This movie is about Mr. Brooks, who is a successful businessman, having a family and a wife. He looks …
Happenstance (R, 2000) movie
When I saw Amelie, I was really really excited to know that there would be another film featuring Audrey Tautou, a brilliant impish actress. Happenstance is very similar to Amelie in that it deals with coincidence, and the complications/ ramifications following. The entire story in Happenstance centers …
Land of the Dead (2005) Movie
Land of the Dead is the fourth zombie film directed by the master of zombies, George A. Romero. I am not overly familiar with Romero’s previous movies to be honest. My favourite all time zombie movie is Return of the Living Dead which has a lot of …
The Magnificent Seven Ride
The Magnificent Seven Ride with Lee Van Cleef, Michael Callan, and Stephanie Powers.
A sequel to the greatest western of all time plus the casting of Lee Van Cleef as the leader of this heroic group of cowboys made this a must see film. As a …
Movie Bandidas
I had hesitated to watch the movie “Bandidas” at first because it starred two actresses whose acting “talent” tends to be very overrated most of the time. Another reason why I hesitated to watch it too was because it first appeared to me as one of those movies starring …
Dead Poets Society (1989 Film)
The 1989 film, Dead Poets Society, was an emotional, rejuvenating yet sorrowfully disturbing tale that left me both impressed, yet extremely sad for the main characters. If you are a fan of an elaborate tale about being inspired to enjoy literature as well as life by “Seizing the day” …

Air Force One movie
Harrison Ford starred as the President of the United States in Air Force One, a 1997 action thriller. The picture was full of fine performers: Glenn Close, Paul Guilfoyle, William H. Macy, Dean Stockwell, and Gary Oldman, just to name a few. It was high on adventure …
In Her Shoes (2005 movie)
This is yet another movie where you must ask the question of “What were they thinking?”. This movie is sleep, snore, drool…boring. It is supposed to be a Comedy/Drama, but I am yet to see where the comedy is or has gone. I’ve come to expect so much better …
A Perfect Getaway (movie)
When the movie “A Perfect Getway” just began to advertise its release, I wasn’t very excited about seeing it, since from just watching a trailer I thought that the plot looked too familiar, and one of the main characters was Mila Jovovich, an action movie actress who I had …
Flight (2012 movie)
Flight was one of those movies that I wanted to see in cinemas initially but even when I had a chance to view it I was just too lazy to. Well recently I went about viewing it on blu ray and I was impressed even though I’m still confused about …
The Brave One
My husband and I just went to see the latest movie of Jodie Foster called The Brave One. To be honest, at first I thought it was gonna be boring as you know it’s drama.. you can’t expect to see much of action anyway. But turned out it’s the …
The Bourne Ultimatum
In the past decade or so, there have been some pretty good actors. Both still famous and those who have fallen from the limelight. One of these actors to surface in the mid to late nineties was Matt Damon. He’s still an extremely successful actor and is the new …

Erin Brockovich
If you want a movie that embodies the term “girl power”, it is definitely the feature film Erin Brockovich. Other than it being the movie that won Julia Roberts an Oscar for Best Actress in 2001, it narrates the life story of the eccentric but street-smart main character …
Movie Love Actually
The Popular Casts: Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Rowan Atkinson,Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley.

Monsters, Inc. movie
My daughter has never seen the movie Monsters Inc before so I made sure to sit down and watch it with her this past weekend.
It had been a while since I’ve seen this movie and I didn’t remember much about it. But, after watching it again, I can remember …
Semi-Pro
I don’t know if this movie was supposed to be funny or not but I just didn’t really enjoy it. It’s about a struggling basketball team and Will Farrel is the coach that has to try and bring it up out of its slump. It was kind of a …
“Superbad” (2007 Film)

Movie: Castle of the Walking Dead

I had never heard of this movie before. But, it had Christopher Lee in it and sounded somewhat interesting …
“Day of the Dead” (2008) Film
“Day of the Dead” (2008) is something of a remake of the original film by the same name. It’s directed by Steve Miner, who has such credits under his directorial belt as 1999’s “Lake Placid.” That should have been my first hint, though I didn’t pay attention to the …

Night of the Living Dead
Even though it was made in the 1960s, there really aren’t many movies that compare in terms of actual horror to the classic film Night of the Living Dead.
I was watching it this morning for about the 10th time and have to say it is one of the most …

This is the story of a man who is thrown in the middle of the American Civil War and the trials that he must go through. On the flip side of that situation is his journey, a journey that he makes back to the arms of the woman that …
Dawson’s Creek
When Dawson’s Creek was on the air in primetime, my daughter was a teenager. She used to bug me to watch it and we began “letting” her take over the TV to watch it each week. At first, her Dad and I would go sit outside or do …
National Lampoon’s Van Wilder
This movie is a decent comedy, even against my initial expectations. So far every other “National Lampoon’s” movie has just been awful. This has completely changed my view of them for the future!
The overall basis of the movie is that a student named Van Wilder is attempting to stay …
Tenth Avenue Angel movie
Tenth Avenue Angel is the film that introduced me to Margaret O’Brien when I was a kid. I remember it playing on television numerous times in my youth, and I always watched it. It was a movie that always pulled on my heartstrings. The movie was …

Avatar, movie (2009)
Like nearly everyone else at the time Avatar came out, I entered the theater with high expectations that were blown up by well-done trailers and shining reviews. The artistry within the CGI seemed so phenomenal, and the teases for the story seemed interesting. So perhaps my disappointment with …
The Lion King
I think this is probably one of the most classic movies that Disney ever put out. It’s a very good movie and a very good story. My sister used to love to watch this movie. She still watches it just not as much anymore. Almost everyone has seen this …
Sonic SatAM
I had heard great things about this show from several different people. I remember seeing it occasionally back when it was on Saturday mornings, but I didn’t watch it regularly simply because I had no clue who most of the characters were.
I picked up the DVD …
VooDoo (Horror Movie)
If you ask me about my opinion of this movie. It is —“ “I just wasted 1 hour plus of my life! *Censored*! *Censored*! *Censored*!”
In fact, I did thought of naming this review “VooDoo - a movie to waste 1 hour plus of you life away”. But I guess, …

The Librarian: Quest for the Spear
Some time ago, I heard about the movie “The Librarian” and didn’t think much of it. I figured, at most, it would be a rip off of Indiana Jones and, without the great special effects and the star power of Harrison Ford, would prove to be lame.
I ended up …
As Good as It Gets, the movie (1997)
I don’t think I’d be wrong to say that the best thing about this movie is the dog. She is beautiful, original, and has reached heights of acting that even Jack Nicholson could not contact. And if it suddenly occurs to you for a moment that the grumpy writer melted …
Hollywood Homicide (2003)
Ok my good people, I guess we asked for it and it was given to us as promised, this is where Hollywood meets police meets Hollywood get it? Me neither, but in essence, this movie is about two police detectives who are not getting enough payment from their regular …
