The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I saw the trailer for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, I knew I wanted to watch it on opening night. I’m a big Mummy fan from the first two installments of the franchise. I couldn’t believe the original female lead wasn’t coming back for …
Ghost Town 2008 movie
Ghost Town is one of those movies where the story is so familiar that you already know what is going to have even if you are only given a little bit of the plot. (I found this with Avatar as well). I mean, this is such a common plot …
A Martian Christmas movie
I was looking for some movies for my daughter to watch while home on Christmas break and came across A Martian Christmas. I didn’t know what to expect from the animated movie, but I figured it was worth watching considering it is almost Christmas.
The movie ended up being better …
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
While I thought the first Cheaper by the Dozen movie was lame, I did not think that a sequel to it could possibly be just plain silly and a waste of money that could have been put to proper use elsewhere. This time the movie was not just lame, …
The Pallisers 1974 movie
This TV series is based on the novels by Anthony Trollope. Glencora (Susan Hampshire), a beautiful young orphan with a large fortune, is being courted by the handsome Burgo Fitzgerald (Barry Justice). Much to the displeasure of her two aunts, Glencora seems to like the young man. Fitzgerald is …

The Revenant (2015 Historical Drama Movie)
I hesitated in watching it for some time but after a while I realised that I was hearing nothing but gushing reviews about the movie “The Revenant”. When I realised that it was even nominated for several prestigious awards I decided to take the chance and watch it myself. While …
The Mark of Zorro (1940)
Filmgoers today associate “Zorro” with Antonio Banderas but, as wonderful as Banderas is in the title role of the more updated version of this film, he can’t hold a candle to the original “Mark of Zorro” star Tyrone Power, who is just magnificent in this movie.
Power was at the …

The 50 Whodunit?s Classics DVD Set is a four disk collection of vintage murder mysteries and the like. The main thing to realize is that this set is an economical accumulation of movies and movie serials. The quality of the films and TV shows vary greatly. …

Oculus (horror movie)
I first saw the trailer for the movie Oculus when I had gone to see something else at the cinema. It looked promising at the time because it felt a little more different than the multitudes of supernatural horror movies that had come out during that period of time and …
Encounter in the 3rd Dimension
I watched this IMAX movie, called Encounter in the 3rd Dimension, with my boyfriend, and it was the darndest thing I’ve ever been to. Now, don’t get me wrong about the movie, though short, (but isn’t all IMAX movies supposed to be). I was fed up with …
Date Movie
I once read a review about some of the worst movies released in the year of 2006, and it listed the movie “Date Movie” as one of the worst. However, even though I didn’t think that the movie was particularly good and hilarious, I still did not see it …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.2: Gnothi Seauton
Well, to my discovery, it seems that this TV show follows an alternate timeline after “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and has nothing to do with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (even though “Terminator: Salvation” does). That’s good and bad in my opinion, but that’s a whole other story …
Vampire Knight: Guilty 1 anime
Vampire Knight: Guilty is the second season of the anime based on the manga, Vampire Knight, by Matsuri Hino which is my favorite vampire anime, mainly because it is a shoujo, but still serious at the same time. The image on this DVD cover is of Ichiru and …
Amadeus Movie
I had missed the movie Amadeus when it first came out, so I’ve discovered it only recently, having rented a tape from our local library. It was surprisingly good. F. Murray Abraham is unforgettable as Salieri, the court composer struggling with jealousy and questioning God’s decision to give an …
Stag
This is a program that I often see on Pay-Per-View that shows mainly the bachelor of a soon to be married couple going out on the town with his friends to celebrate his last night as a single man. They hop from club to club, drinking and having a …
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
A british comedy that stars the likes of Mos Def, Martin Freeman, Zooey Deschanel, John Malkovich, Bill Nighy, Sam Rockwell and the voice of Alan Rickman as a melodramatic robot.
It’s a love story/action/drama/mystery/comedy/horror film all rolled up in a nice bundle with a very long name as the title. …
Swing Vote movie
I am fairly jaded and cynical when it comes to Hollywood. If there’s a movie made about politics, I immediately jump to the conclusion that its trying to shove its left wing ideology down my throat. A lot of times, this is the case, not so however, …
The Mummy (Movie)
The Mummy was released in 1999, directed by Stephen Sommers and was considered by some as an “Indiana Jones” for the nineties. I first saw it at the cinema almost as soon as it was released, tempted by the trailers and other details I had seen and read. I’m …
Thirty Days of Night Movie
Just last night, my best friend, my sister, and i watched Thirty Days of Night, a new vampire movie that has recently been released. It was probably one of the best vampire movies that I’d ever seen! It is nothing like those corny vampire movies that are released that …
Laws of Attraction
I must have watched “Laws of Attraction” more than 10 times and I still enjoy watching it and watching it. I like this romantic movie so much because there is great on screen chemistry between the three main actors involved in it Pierce Brosnon, Julianne Moore and …
The Devil Wears Prada
Generally speaking, I don’t much go for the obvious chick flicks. There are some that I like, but it doesn’t happen to be a genre that I’m in the mood for a lot. And, how much more “chick flick” can you get than a movie that puts …
Chloe Movie (2010)
I could not imagine Amanda Seyfried to star as a provocative and sexy role as Chloe. When I read about Chloe and how it was released in limited number of theaters, I was curious to see how she would pull it off.
Chloe is a film that stars Julienne …

Robin Hood movie
If a movie were intended to totally turn someone off of the old time legend of Robin Hood, Maid Marion, and the Merry Men, this 2010 version of Robin Hood would do it. The opening was depressing and vulgar, and it was anything from the bright and usually …
Movie Talk to Me
Talk to Me is a lovely movie and I recommend for all to go and watch it. If you are late, go and rent a DVD or whatever means, but you have to WATCH IT. I recommend it 100% because I love watching this movie pretty much. …

A horror film by Joel Schumacher about a company of young vampires on motorcycles who attack a young man and his brother. It has reached cult reputation by some people who grew up in the 1980s when it came it, but personally I just found it a very long …

Get Shorty

Happy Feet
I took my 10yr old grandson to see ‘Happy Feet’ during the Christmas holidays. We couldn’t get in to see the movie we wanted to see so settled for that one. Came out clicking our heels. Well, I did. He’s not a kid who likes the turtles or action …

American Reunion (2012 movie)
After seven films of the American Pie series, an average fan would say there is nothing much more to be offered.
Well, I am not a fan, but whatever dissapointments there were with the previous seven if there were some at all, I could …

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010 film)
I had a pretty good grasp of the significant things that happened in the last book of the harry potter series. Deathly Hallows finally brought closure to the story I have read since grade school. Bluntly speaking, I am an ardent reader and fan of all harry …
Son-in-Law
The funny thing about the movie Son-in-Law is the fact it’s funny the first time you see it but gets less and less funny every time you watch it.
Pauly Shore might have been yesterday’s Larry the Cable Guy but the reality is his movies really lack any real substance …
License to Wed
I didn’t know that License to Wed is a fun movie to watch. Unfortunately, I caught it on DVD rather than from the cinema itself, but it’s better than nothing.
This movie stars Mandy Moore (my favorite actress), and in this movie, she is known as Sadie. She …

The Heartbreak Kid
Supposedly a remake of a 1972 comedy, this 2007 release is a vulgar R-rated flick packed with obscenities, gross-out humor, and no wits whatsoever. Prolonged scenes of rough sex are supposed to be funny, as well as disgusting smirks at bestiality. The major plot line is the same: a …
