Signs (2002 Movie)
There is one word that describes this movie…”BORING”. It’s a long, drawn out, dull, mind-numbing, boring tale of aliens coming to earth. And as always, the aliens have some to destroy mankind…been there, done that, seen it too many times. I guess we should all be wearing tip foil …
Step Brothers movie
Step Brothers is one of my favorite movies of all time and it is jam packed full of funny one liners. It is about two 40 year old men who still live at home with their parents and they are just like big children. Will Farrel’s character, Brennan Huff’s …
The Wedding Singer
The Wedding Singer marks the appearance of Adam Sandler being an extremely funny man. He rocks in this movie and his side-kick, Drew Barrymore rocks too. The storyline is about Adam being a wedding singer and this romantic comedy is awesome.
Adam plays the character of Robbie, …
Fame (2009 movie)
I didn’t jump at watching the movie Fame like a few of the younger people I know did, because I could remember watching the television series from the eighties in the early nineties when I was a little girl; and based on what I saw when the movie …
Enchanted (Movie)
This movie was hilarious. It features a modern fairy tale story set in the present time and what I like about it most is that the famous and cool James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men) is actually such a romantic prince here and he does a very great job at …
The Expendables movie
“The Expendables” (2010, rated ‘R’) starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li is a terrific action movie perfect for those of us old enough to remember when the original “Rambo,” “Die Hard” and “Terminator” films were in theatres! “The Expendables” is like ‘old home week’ with lots of …
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part I” (2011 Film)
Ever since Harry Potter books first touched bookstores, people across the world have been falling in love with the magical world that the creator of the book, J.K Rowling has created. Once these novels started hitting the big screen, it was almost impossible to escape the mass madness of …
The Prestige (PG-13, 2006) movie
This was an interesting movie. Not quite what I expected. But since I love Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman–so that in and of itself warranted a viewing. However, this is a story that is relayed with care and precision. But I will admit that certain …
Mystic Pizza (1988 Film)
What is there to not love about a movie with a dynamite cast, amazingly relatable and entertaining plot, and an ending that leaves viewers feeling warm and fuzzy and hopeful for their own futures. If you haven’t already guessed, I am talking about the 1988 film, “Mystic Pizza” starring …
Get Rich or Die Tryin (2005)
Get Rich or Die Tryin’, directed by Jim Sheridan is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong violence, pervasive language, drug content, sexuality and nudity. The original release date was November 9, 2005 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Biography/Crime/Drama/Music …
Piranha 3D (Movie 2010)
It’s been ages since I have actually seen something as gory and as nude as Piranha 3D. Honestly, the last time I saw a movie like this was…never!
I watched this movie two weeks ago out of boredom. I was in the mood for something bloody and horrible when …
Thelma and Louise
This is definately a movie worth watching if you haven’t seen it yet. It has Susan Surandon in it. It’s about two girls that go off on a trip and one of the girls get rapped along the way. I think it is a wonderful story and the whole …
Dark City, movie (1998)
David S. Goyer is a name films fans should recognize. From his humble beginnings with Charles Band’s Full Moon Entertainment to his recent success working with Christopher Nolan, he’s one of the biggest names in screenwriting. Sure, he also wrote Jumper and the TV movie, Nick Fury: …
Ironman
“Ironman” was one of my favorite movies for 2008. I had actually put off watching it for just the right time when I would be at home alone to watch it, as I had been very busy and broke when the movie was released in theatres. I was also …
Maigret’s Dead Man (Mystery Thriller Movie)
Maigret’s Dean Man is a detective mystery thriller directed by Jon East. It starred Rowan Atkinson as Chief Inspector Jules Maigret.
The plot follows Maigret in his search for the reason behind the murder of an unidentified man who had actually called him for help from a phone in a bar. …
The Invention of Lying
I was expecting The Invention of Lying to be a romantic comedy, and only a decent one, because while I love Ricky Gervais, I do not enjoy the movies which Jennifer Garner does. I figured Gervais’ wonderful, sarcastic, dry, British humour would carry this movie. While Gervais was great, …
Movie Children of the Corn
I can’t remember the first time I saw Children of the Corn, but I know that it scared the daylights out of me. Now that I’ve watched it again as an adult, the same doesn’t hold true. Honestly I’m not sure if it’s because the film is older, or …
The Secret Garden (movie)
The Secret Garden is the story of Mary Lennox, who is orphaned and sent to live with her uncle. Mary does not meet her uncle until she arrives at his home, and he is taken with her resemblance to his deceased wife, her aunt. Mary is a withdrawn and …
Surviving Desire movie
Inventive independent filmmaker Hal Hartley here gives us a story focused around lonely people who try their best not the appear lonely. A young girl who works at the local library falls in love with a young man who comes there to visit.
A rather simple story that doesn’t have …
Meet Dave
Played by one of the most respected comedians in the entertainment industry, Meet Dave is a movie that I would have otherwise been reluctant to watch, as I am not really into blatant fiction, but because of the Eddy Murphy factor, I knew that it would have that comedy …
The Wind Rises (2013 movie)
Studio Ghibli is an iconic animation studio based in Japan. It’s best known for cultivating a tradition of Japanese animation that touches on adult concerns while also appealing to younger audiences. The legacy of the studio is credited mostly to the popular director Hayao Miyazaki. I am …
Children Of Men (Film)
Children Of Men is a film which takes place in London and is set in the future in quite an apocalyptic situation. I don’t remember the exact year of this movie but I do recall that in the film it has been 18 years since the last baby has …
Norbit movie
Norbit was advertised as a “family film”. At least that’s what i got from the commercials. Right from the beginning, the movie throws completely crude one liners. While I found them absolutely hillarious as an adult, i found it a little inappropriate for the children in …
Film Some Like It Hot
One of my favourite films of all time is Some Like It Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and directed by Billy Wilder.
The film is a genuine classic, not some art house movie that everyone raves about for a month, never having really watched it or understood …
The Lifeguard (2013 Film)
I was curious about the romance drama film The lifeguard, when stumbling across it on the internet movie database website. I was intrigued by the cast list and the controversial storyline. I figured since Kristen Bell was the lead role, the movie would be pretty good since she is a …
Blast From The Past movie
Blast From The Past is a 1999 comedy film starring Brendan Frasier and Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, and Sissy Spacek. The movie is about a man and his pregnant wife who take refuge in a fallout shelter when a plane crashes and destroys their house, the man sets the …
Sex and Death 101 DVD Movie
Alright, before you get too skeptical about the DVD title movie, Sex and Death 101, let me tell you that this movie is actually pretty harmless, minus all the ‘racy’ scenes, which I’m not interested at all. I just love the comedic storyline and here is it.
Simon Baker …
Eight Legged Freaks
Eight Legged Freaks with David Arquette, Kari Wuhrer, and Scarlett Johansson.
This science fiction movie featuring the attack of a small town by hungry giant spiders is not that bad. I think that I like it because it is a balanced mix of terror and comedy. …
Congo movie (1995)
Killer Gorillas. No such thing, right? Maybe. Maybe not. For years, there have been stories of ancient civilizations that are long gone from this world, that used to use animals as guards for their massive treasures. Whether or not they were …
Tomorrowland (science fiction adventure film)
Tomorrowland was one of those movies that I was silly enough to be fooled into thinking was actually going to be good. After watching the trailer I thought, “This looks good. I wonder why I’m not hearing much about this movie”. After sitting through over two hours of it hoping …
La La Land - (Romantic Musical Film) 2016
Tears in your eyes, laughter spewing out of you and songs you find humming at odd hours? You must have watched La La Land. I’m not a person who often enjoys musicals and yet La La Land surprised me. I was enthralled, drawn into the story and of course couldn’t …
Hermione’s Dress
As I’m sure all you Harry Potter fans know, in the fourth movie, there was a dance called the ‘Yule Ball’.
Now, I read about this in the book, but I never imagined that everything would be so pretty!
When I saw Hermione’s dress in the film, I just died!!!
It’s …
Erin Brockovich Movie
I am a true movie fanatic and although I can’t say that I absolutely loved this film, I did really enjoy watching it. It’s staring Julia Roberts who is one of my favorite actresses, and is based on a true story which is something else that makes this …
FLCL
The anime series “FLCL,” short for “Fooly Cooly” or “Furi Kuri,” is an artistic amazement. The storyline is a little unclear, being a
three-way battle between main characters, but deliciously abstract and humorous. The plot’s hyperactive pace, and features that catagorize the series as anything from comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi …
Escape To Witch Mountain
Another cherished Disney memory from the 70s, I was thrilled when it became available on DVD. Escape to Witch Mountain is the tale of aliens who crashland on Earth. Survivors of the tragedy found refuge on what the surrounding community called Witch Mountain, because of the strange goings-on there.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2-Disc Edition
I’ve always been a fan of the Nightmare On Elm Street series, and in particular the first movie. The day they released this special edition, I picked it up right away and happily put it in my DVD player. Unfortunately I ended up being fairly disappointed. I know that …
National Treasure DVD
There are a handful of actors and actresses that I truly enjoy watching perform and Nicholas Cage is one of them. I liked National Treasure the first time I saw it a few years ago. I like history and I like Nichols Cage so this was a …
Erin Brockovich Movie
This movie is based on the true events of a lady called Erin Brockovich.
Erin is a single mother of 3 children and is enduring hard times. Cockroaches in the house and nothing to eat except jam out of a tin, Erin is desperate for a job. It is not …
Storm Warning Movie
Storm Warning is easily one of the best horror movies that I’ve seen in a long time, which is ironic considering that it isn’t really a horror movie, at least not in the traditional sense. If a magazine were to review this movie they would probably say it falls …
THE END OF THE TOUR, movie (2015)
In 1996 the novel The Infinite Jest was published, ranked by Time magazine as one of the hundred best English-language novels of the twentieth century. Its author, David Foster Wallace, becomes a rock star of the literary world, encroaching on what is most sacred, on the very foundation of consumer …
Pitch Perfect movie
On November 28, 2013 as my mom was going to bed she told me that she had recorded a movie for me that she thought I would like, Pitch Perfect, probably because she knows I love music and movies. Soon after …

Mystic River
Mystic River is a movie about three friends who are close when they are young and then something terrible happens. Mystic River is another movie that changes around so much it is hard to follow at times, but the plot is fantastic and Sean Penn as Jimmy is excellent. …
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans movie
When I went to the theater to watch this movie, I thought I almost knew what I was going to see, but to my pleasant surprise, I was wrong. What I really witnessed was far better than I I had expected.
What they give us is the movie unlike its …
Black Cat Episode 2
Black Cat Episode 2 begins with a man attacking a girl; the policeman finds him and gets attacked by the man who says he’ll burn the skin off his face. Sven, desperately in need of cash aids a girl in distress and decides to help her find her …
War of the Worlds
War of the Worlds is such a good movie that I’ve watched before. This movie stars Tom Cruise and the little talented girl at that time, Dakota Fanning. It’s a movie basically about aliens invading, or what they call it, The Tripod. These tripods come in numbers, …
The Forbidden Kingdom
This movie was rated PG13 , its about 114 minutes not counting the next attractions which normally about 6 movies. At long last, Hong Kong movie legends Jackie Chan and Jet Li share the screen. Jackie Chan aha aha he is amazing and charming. It’s not worth the wait.
