Made of Honor
When you have got two great movies in a row, you end up comparing one with the other. One will end up being very good and the other one is less good. “Made of Honor” was labelled by many critics as the less good movie of the actor, Patrick …
Clash of the Titans Movie (2010)
This movie is more of like a Percy Jackson movie that is for adults, when I saw this I had thought to myself that this seemed more like the movie for my age range, which is mid-twenties, and I had really liked the effects and the cinematography of this …
Kelly’s Heroes
Kelly’s Heroes with Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, Don Rickles, and Carroll O’Connor.
Generally there are great difficulties in pulling off comedic themes within the arena of war and killing, but this movie succeeded in just that. This movie became a cult classic because of …
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Director: Roland Emmerich. Featuring Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal and Emmy Rossum.
Since the first time I have seen it, it has been one of my top favourite movies. I am re-watching it a few times a year. It is full of action, drama and even a bit of comedy. It is …
Ghosts of Cite de Soleil (R, 2006) movie
A friend brought over a copy of this movie. I immediately thought of the City of God, although that film takes place in Brazil. Anyway, this film features two young Haitian men who have been called to serve in an army called “Chimeres”. These are basically …
Pitch Perfect (movie)
One of the movies that I was privileged to watch as of recently was an unexpected gem called Pitch Perfect. I call this unexpected because when I first saw the trailer for this movie, I was much less than interested in seeing it. I was never much of a …
Namastey London
With a mixed starcast, and without any solid story, Namstey London still succeeded to attract audience.
It is a triangular love story where an Indian woman is in love with an English man. However,her parents wanted her to marry to an Indian guy but this marriage lasts to be of …
Star Trek
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the new movie Star Trek this past weekend. I have seen so many attempts to re-make other movies that have gone wrong and I was afraid they might have tried to take on too big of a challenge.
However, I have to admit, …
A Nightmare on Elm Street movie
I’m not sure exactly how I managed to live my life without seeing this particular film, but I have. Upon having seen it, I am glad I have. It was an enjoyable film, the scene when the first girl is killed is quite startling (in my opinion …
Zombieland movie
I’ve never been one to be a fan of blood and gore zombie movies. Ever since I was a kid and channel surfed across a midnight showing of Day of the Dead on TV (of which up until that point, I had no clue how icky the human imagination …
Persuasion,1995 movie
“Persuasion” is a good adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel. Amanda Root plays Anne Elliot, a young woman who, eight years ago, was persuaded by well-meaning friends and family to give up her love and reject Frederick Wentworth’s marriage proposal. A very decent and promising young man, Frederick did not …

My Wife is a Gangster Part 1 The Movie
It was a Korean movie that was funny combined with action and suspense as I watched it. I first came to know this Korean actress named Eun Kyun Shin when she portrayed the role of Mantis as one of the big boss or leader of a gang. I did …
The Day the Earth Stopped movie
OK, I don’t know a whole lot about copyright laws but how can a company produce a film that looks a heck of a lot like a popular movie and avoid a lawsuit simply by changing a few things, including the title.
This movie was nothing more than a rip …
Amazing grace movie
This is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen lately. It is inspired by a true story that happened in 18th century England where transatlantic slave trade was common practice and was used by the British government as a means to boost its economy.It shows how …
The Hangover movie
Though it contains crude humor at times, The Hangover is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. The only bad thing I have to say about this movie is that the storyline did not seem to flow very well at a couple points in …
Scary Movie 4
I thought that Scary Movie 4 would be another foolish kind of slapstick movie but when I watched, I was really so laughing like crazy with my bunch of friends.
It was so, so funny and the fact that the Director and writers had come out with such a …
Wild Hogs
Well..
Someone must of been real drunk or is really stupid in order to make this movie.It just finished in front of my innocent eyes an hour ago.When it first started,I said,it should be good,big budget to hire those actors.John Travolta,Tim Allen,Martin Lawrence,William Macy.Sure they aren’t big cash magnets like …
The Bounty (1984)
The Bounty, directed by Roger Donaldson is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was May 4, 1984 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Adventure/Drama/History and stars Mel Gibson as Fletcher Christian, Sir Anthony Hopkins as Lt. William …
When in Rome (movie) 2010
I watched this movie because occasionally the girls and I like to get together for some good chick flick fun. We’d heard this was one of the latest romantic comedies going around, and ‘Rome’ sounded nice and romantic and all that.
At the beginning, the movie seemed typical enough …
Not Another Teen Movie
Not Another Teen Movie is basically self-explanatory. It’s a spoof movie mixing the popular teen movies like Cruel Intentions, Bring It On, American Pie, and Never Been Kissed to name a few. The movie stars Chyler Leigh as Janey Briggs (who is portrayed as this stereotyped ugly and nerdy/artsy …
Lost in Translation (2003)
I am guilty of being a bit prejudiced about films and although Lost in Translation has Bill Murray as one of the leads and he was so funny in Ghostbusters etc, I assumed maybe he had gone down the same ‘comedian, once funny, now does sentimental stuff’ route, along …
Mannequin (1987)
This movie is about a struggling artist who is constantly moving from one dead end job to another makes a stop at a department store, he is working there assembling mannequins in the store windows when on assembly, one of the mannequins come to life and together the spark …
The Box Movie
Having seen the trailer on this one, I perked up instantly since it was quite an ethical scene —“ a couple could have a million dollars right away with just having to push a single button, but someone somewhere in the world, someone they don’t know is going to …
The Hunger Games DVD/Blu Ray Release
Last week it finally arrived the date for the release of The Hunger Games DVD/Blu Ray. A huge buzz has been around this release thanks to the huge success of the screen adaptation of Suzanne Collin’s masterpiece and New York Time Best seller with the same name.
The DVD/Blu Ray …
The Year Punk Broke 1991 movie
A music documentary about the private lives of the members of Sonic Youth and partly Nirvana during their tour in 1991. I would consider it a fans-only kind of film, but as I used to be a big fan of both these bands I found it very interesting. To …
“Up in the Air” (2009 film)
Director Jason Reitman, in his third feature (after “Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking”) delivers “Up in the Air,” a more heartfelt and poignant effort than either of its predecessors-stylized in a similar way, but much more honest in its pathos-tinged comedy. It works better for me story-wise because …
Juno (R, 2007) movie
Wow, I really really loved this movie. I knew that any movie starring Ellen Page would be a really good film. The first movie that I saw her in was Hard Candy, a really brutal film about a child molester who meets up with this …
Prince of Darkness movie
John Carpenter is a filmmaker that used to be a master of the genre he worked in, but who lost all of his qualities in the 80s and only makes disasters nowadays. Prince of Darkness was made around the time when he was changing from a quality director into …
Bring It On Movie
I had idolized Kirsten Dunst ever since Jumanji and had always loved cheerleading and gymnastics altogether, I was a cheerleader and of course, it was only natural for me to watch this movie, I would just die if I didn’t get to watch this and I did really love …
Cannibal Holocaust
This is one of the most controversial movies of all time for its animal cruelty and scenes of extreme violence and realistic gore. The movie was released around 1980 and this could possibly be an excuse for some of the low quality and bad acting, but this goes beyond …
The Departed (R, 2006) movie
If ever there was a film that kept me riveted to my seat, it is The Departed starring Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matt Damon amongst a few other greats. The story pits the three in a race against each other and opposite forces (criminals vs. the police). …
Movie “Salt” (2010)
I was excited to see this film because the previews looked fun. A female James Bond who may or may not be a double agent and it stars Angelina Jolie. How great does that sound? Well the movie had a great premise but the end …
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie
Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire movie is based on a book by J.K. Rowling. It is the fourth of the series of Harry Potter books. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are about fourteen in this movie and growing into young adults as life becomes more complicated. The movie …
“Drag Me To Hell” (2009 Film)
If you are in the mood for a scary movie to give you goose bumps and make you want to shut your eyes, then the 2009 film “Drag Me to Hell” is not for you. While the movie was a little creepy, it was also fairly pointless, leaving me …
Flesh and Bone
Flesh and Bone with Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan, James Caan, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The title picked up my attention, but I guess it was just a trick to get me to watch a boring mundane movie. I suppose it was meant to be flesh and …
Swordfish
Swordfish is one of the cooler action movies of the last decade despite a couple setbacks. One of it’s producers worked on the Matrix, so it’s got a similar kind of wild, high-tech, fast-paced feel. Now it’s definitely not on the same scale, but it isn’t a rip-off either. …
Maid in Manhattan (2002)
I love Jennifer Lopez, and this movie that she atsr in alongside of of hollywoods most eligible leading men makes her shine brighter than she can ever shine while doing the singing thing. As an actress, I have more love for her than with her singing, because to me, …
Jackie Brown
Quentin Tarantino takes a different route than usual with his third cinematic outing. His trademark humour and dialogue is still there, but things are a lot more casual and linear than his previous efforts.
The film follows Jackie Brown; a down on her luck, middle aged flight stewardess who, …
Old School the movie
I sat down with my mother, we were having a girls movie night. This girls night movie theme was comedy. Will Ferrel is always at the top of my list for comedy movies. He did not let me down on this one at all. I laughed during almost the …
James Cameron’s Avatar
Avatar is my favorite movie that I’ve watched all year. Heck, it might even be my all-time favorite. Critics say that it lacks plot, but I highly disagree. Who cares if it’s cliche? All that matters is that the story is well told.
The movie is about an ex-Marine, Jake …
Shall We Dance movie
Shall We Dance is a very nice movie. I watched it in DVD when my cousins rented it when we were visiting their place last Christmas.
Shall We Dance is directed by Peter Chelsom and was written by Masayuki Suo and Audrey Wells. It was released in US …
Gods and Monsters movie
Very engaging film about the famous horror movie director, James Whale, who made Frankenstein for instance back in the 1930s. In this film he is old, and wonderfully played by Ian McKellen. James Whale, who was openly homosexual, falls in love with his many years younger gardener, who at …

King Kong vs. Godzilla
King Kong vs. Godzilla is the first color Godzilla movie, and in a way, I kind of wish that it was not. Both King Kong and Godzilla look ugly and fake as do the sets and the military tanks and other artillery. I also do not like how the …
IMDb
IMDb is the international movies database, and for good reason. The sheer size of the amount of movies covered on this website is simply unsurpassed, I’d say. Every movie has a page, even if all is listed is a simple title. But rest assured, that situation will only persist …
Silk
Silk is one of those shows that I watch and I get goosebumps. It feels like the man in the story is suffering and that he has to suffer just because of a passion. Perhaps if this happens in my community, we would think that the woman has …
Snitch (2013 Film)
Within the beginning segments of Snitch, it’s noted that it was inspired by real life happenings. This is somewhat true. A person was incorrectly labeled as selling illegal substances after a supposed mate set him up and because of this, the individual was given ten year compulsory imprisonment for …
