“The Princess Diaries” was one of my favorite Disney movies. It was released when I was still in high school; and was very popular since it was a hit in the box office. It was also known as the movie which put the Academy Award nominated actress, Anne Hathaway …
Taxi (movie)
Taxi is a movie about a cop undercover who teams up with a fast cab driver in New York to catch a bunch of women who have been robbing banks. First of all, a French movie of the same name has already been made that couldn’t have been worse …
Surf’s Up
When I first saw previews to Surf’s Up, the first thing I thought was ‘Not another penguin movie.’ But, after taking the time to watch it last night, I have to admit it was probably the best out of those I’ve seen.
Unlike other Penguin movies, Surf’s Up doesn’t take …

When I first saw the movie “The House Bunny” advertising to be released in theatres, I wanted to see it. This was because I had seen a few potentially very funny scenes such as the one where the house bunny, Shelly tries to impress a guy by doing a …

I am Legend is a unique movie. Actor Will Smith, the main character, does an excellent job as always. The movie is about the of a military scientist you believes he is the last person on Earth not affected by a horibble mutated virus. Apparently he is immune to …
Where the Wild Things Are
As a child, I was fascinated with the children’s book Where the Wild Things Are, and years later, I enjoyed reading it to my own kids. I didn’t have an excuse to see the movie, and I had thought about asking one of my friends’ children to accompany me, …
The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
The 2004 removie of “The Manchurian Candidate” stands out among remakes of movies in that in many ways it is better than the original movie. There are differences between the two, some good, some bad. The removie seems to run longer than the original, and it does, but only …

The Cobbler, Movie
The Cobbler is a very different kind of movie to the ones normally associated with its star, Adam Sandler. He’s had movies, such as Reign Over Me, that have really demonstrated his ability to tackle serious subject matter and deliver moving performances. Whilst I am a fan of some of …
Movie Four Christmases
Four Christmases is an excellent movie I saw in theatres. It is a romantic comedy, with a bigger emphasis on the comedy. I really enjoyed it and I think most people would as well. It is a great film to see with a couple, family, or with friends. It …

Eden Lake movie
I just recently watch this thriller movie on a DVD player which is a British horror thriller written and directed by James Watkins. My comment about this movie is that I am not satisfied with the ending. The message is very clear in the movie though and it …
Due South: Free Willie
Due South: Free Willie reminded me of a series I watched a lot called McCloud. In that show, Dennis Weaver played a United States Marshal from Taos, New Mexico who was temporarily assigned to duty in New York City. He was a fish out of water, but …
Song for a Raggy Boy (movie)
I’m a lover of both historical and independent films, and so when it was recommended that I watch the movie “Song for a Raggy Boy” I was very delighted to watch it. I thought that it would have been interesting to see a historical movie depicting the pre World …
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York movie
The movie “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” was the sequel and successor to one of the biggest hit movies of the 20th century, “Home Alone”. Of course, like many other sequels with very successful prequels, this movie didn’t do well as the first. Nevertheless, it was still …
Passenger 57
Passenger 57 is an action flick starring Wesley Snipes and Bruce Payne released back in 1992 when audiences could tolerate terrorists and airline hijackers - unlike the post 9/11 world we live in today.
So anyway, Wesley Snipes plays John Cutter the good guy - a former cop turned airline …
St. Elmo’s Fire (movie)
Didn’t everyone in the 1980’s love St. Elmo’s Fire? The whole thing about seeing a young Demi Moore and Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy was simply thrilling to millions, I am sure. I don’t see or understand the inherent value of St. Elmo’s Fire, myself. I laugh when I …
Best of Raw vol.1
I bought Best of Raw vol.1 on VHS a couple years ago. And I have to say this is a great video. It shows you the early days of WWF RAW. And yes this takes it back to the days when it was WWF and not WWE. I really like …
Man of Steel (movie)
One of the movies that I wanted to watch for a long time was “Man of Steel” even before the trailer was released and I heard that a new superman movie was going to be made. While I wasn’t completely familiar with the person who directed it, I do …

Movie Bangkok Dangerous
The primary flaw with this movie, and it’s a pretty big one, is that it’s just plain boring. I don’t know how an action movie about an international hit man manages to make me fall asleep, but this one did. Twice. Nicolas Cage is at his blandest in this …
Hills Have Eyes 2, The (2007)
The Hills Have Eyes is a sequel to the first. I felt the first was a pretty good movie, and I felt the same about this one, because it continued the storyline from the first, explaining the reason for the mutants attacks on everyone.
These “mutants” have been a victim …
Art Of Revenge
Art Of Revenge is a Lifetime movie that starts off with a young, married couple who seems to have it all. Or at least that is what the movie producers want you to think. Art of Revenge started off, as I perceived the movie, with a whining wife and …
Crawlspace
Well, when I read the description of the movie Crawlspace (a former Nazi spies on female tenants and then traps them in a secret torture chamber) I figured it would at least be worth a thrill or two. But, after watching it last night, I have to say I’m …
The Martian (Science Fiction Drama Movie)

Bee Season
After embracing Buddhism, the actor Richard Gere is getting very attentive which movies to be involved in. In all honestly, I am not surprised that he chose to particate in “Bee Season”. The biggest surprise was that this is not a Gere or Juliet Binochet movie, but solely a …
The Wicker Man (Original)
I watched the original Wicker Man and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I’m not a fan of horror and although this was labelled as a horror film it really wasn’t. The ending was quite horrorific but the rest of the film was not. …
Movie: Parenthood
I ended up coming across a somewhat older movie last night; Parenthood. I’ve seen this film before. But, it had been a long time so I thought I would take the time to watch it.
When I started watching the movie, I realized I didn’t remember a single thing about …
Movie Notting Hill
Notting Hill is an all time remembered British romantic comedy, which is loved by all. I don’t think anyone would say they hated the movie, I fell in love with the characters and so did everyone.
I’m a huge romantic and a Julia Roberts fan, its no surprise I love …

The Theory of Everything, Movie
I decided that I wanted to watch this film as soon as I saw the trailer. It seemed to me like it would have a realistic story line, and that the film would hold my attention. I would say the film definitely lived up to my positive expectations.
The film revolves …
American History X (drama movie)
The 1998 movie American History X is on my list of some of my favourite dramas to date, because of what it was about and the way that the story was presented. I know I’m not alone in this respect since it was given a high rating on sites like …
Guest House Paradiso Movie

Big Man on Campus movie
What a silly movie. Obviously, it was inspired by “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” in some weird way. The movie begins with students talking about sightings of some monster on campus. The descriptions of the monster vary, and it is clear that some of the “witnesses” are simply making …
The Wackiest Ship in the Army
From 1960, The Wackiest Ship in the Army is absolutely terrific to watch. It’s a movie I’ve seen more times than I can count and it’s one I always enjoy. It’s lighthearted drama that deals with Navy action in World War II. Right off the bat, …
