Film “Frozen” (2010)
I just finished watching this movie and I have to say I was impressed. It bills itself as a thriller and all you know about it from the previews and the poster is three kids get stuck on a chairlift and have to get back alive. …
The Hound of the Baskervilles movie
Jeremy Brett in the role as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as dr Watson. This is a tv produced film that preceded the very popular series, and Jeremy Brett is in my opinion the best actor to appear as the mastermind next to Basil Rathbone (of course).
The classic story …
50 First Dates
I think this is one of the sweetest romantic comedies out there. I love Adam Sandler in this movie and have thought it was a classic movie since it came out. I tend to watch it every time I find it on the TV. I have it either on …
Sucker Punch (2011) Movie
It is odd that I read the synopsis of a movie, get interested in it and then watch it, only to be disappointed in the end. The synopsis for the movie on Netflix calls it a “mind warping action thriller”. Then on top of that very attractive statement it …
“A Christmas Carol” (2009 film)
There have many versions of the beloved film, “A Christmas Carol” produced and viewed throughout the world. Perhaps one of the most wonderfully entertaining movies of this section that I have seen was the 2009 “A Christmas Carol” movie with Jim Carrey. This movie shied away from his usual …

Movie: The Best Years of our Lives
I had never heard of the movie The Best Years of our Lives until this past weekend, when I discovered it as part of a Memorial Day marathon. At first, I didn’t know what I was watching. But, it ended up being a halfway decent movie.
Unlike a lot of …
Cider House Rules (1999)
“The Cider House Rules” is a 1999 Miramax movie, a production company that I find traditionally does excellent movies. At 116 minutes the English language movie is just about the perfect length. I never felt like it was padded to occupy more screen time nor did I feel cheated …
Trespass (movie)
I was completely clueless that the movie “Trespass” even existed until someone made me watch it very recently. After watching it, I liked it so much that I couldn’t help but recommend it to people who are looking for a good suspense and thriller movie to watch. This was …
Napoleon Dynamite
I have met people who think Napoleon Dynamite is the most hilarious movie ever and some other people that say it isn’t funny at all. This is a movie that maybe is not possible to catalog either as funny or not funny: it’s really hard to say if it’s …
Eddie Murphy: Raw
If you’ve ever seen Eddie Murphy in family films like Dr. Doolittle and Shrek, I would recommend renting his Raw performance on DVD.
This is Eddie Murphy at his best, giving stand-up comedy performances and talking about everything from politics to women and race issues. If you have kids, put …
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 …
The Royal Tenenbaums (comedy drama movie)
Throughout the years I’ve heard about the movie “The Royal Tenenbaums” but I never actually had a chance to watch it until recently. I figured it would have been one of those films that was severely overrated by a lot of people, but it turns out that even though I …
“Ernest Scared Stupid” (1991 Film)
Many people are familiar with the Ernest films. Each of them are themed differently but revolve around a loveable and child-like man who can be clumsy at times but becomes everyone’s friend and sometimes hero by the time the film is over. Not to mention he makes me laugh …
Mean Machine Movie

Netflix
We absolutely love our netflix subscribtion. Since having one it has saved us a bundle on renting movies. We like how quick and efficient their service is too. It’s the only service we ever use to rent movies anymore.
Netflix is an online movie rental service. This service far beats …
The Remains of the Day
I am so glad I have found this treasure of a movie. A forgotten treasure, unfortunately; I have never heard of it before, neither have I heard other people mention it. I hope this review will help to draw much deserved attention to this thoughtful, well-acted, well-paced production. I …
Madhouse
Starring: Joshua Leonard (Clark Stevens), Jordan Ladd (Sara), Lance Henriksen (Dr Franks), Dendrie Taylor (Nurse Hendricks)

An Affair to Remember movie
No, Warren Beatty was not crazy in deciding to remake the film An Affair to Remember, I have to say he has attained a certain degree of success. Now it is time to examine the real deal for what it is worth. In the heyday of black …
Analyze This (1998), movie
American comedies have become part of a cliche after the 90s, the main plot being based simply on a failed relationship or some other unsatisfying cheesy drama. What I can claim to be a good comedy with cleverly conceived humour is ‘Analyze This’, the 1998 movie starring Billy Crystal, …
Men in Black (1997)

Glory Road Movie
I loved the movie, “Glory Road.” I am a huge basketball fan, and this movie was the true story of the first coach to start five black players in the NCAA final game.
Because of the times, the movie had some lines which were no doubt truly spoken at …
House of Wax movie
Not the one to come out earlier this year, but the original 1950s movie with Vincent Price. I believe it was the first film shot in 3D tecnique, but of course that loses its effect if you don’t watch it with 3D-glasses at the theatre, which I didn’t do.
The …
Another Cinderellla Story
For Christmas I got the movie “Another Cinderella Story”. I rate this movie as a 7. It was pretty good, and the story line was cute because it goes with this decade.
The movie stars Selena Gomez as Mary. Mary’s mother died and so Mary now lives …

Starsky And Hutch movie
Starsky and Hutch is a remake of the television series by the same name that was highly popular in the 1970s. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson star in this hilarious movie. Now, I do not usually watch movies like this, because they are just the kind of comedies I …
Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
It’s funny when I think about it, but I never wanted to watch this particular movie because it had Will Farrell and I had hated him ever since I watched the movie ‘Kicking & Screaming’ which was one of the most gawd-awful movies ever made in my opinion, so I …
Raising Helen movie
Raising Helen was a movie which starred Kate Hudson, it about a woman whose sister unexpectedly dies in an accident with her husband, now she has to take care of his sister’s kids and juggle it with her demanding job and her temporary on hold fun life. At first …
Employee Of The Month
I watched this movie, Employee Of The Month the other night on DVD and it was super funny and top hilarious, I give it a 10, no doubt. I know that the jokes are pretty slapstick and that the babe factor is none other than Jessica Simpson, nevertheless I …
Dead End movie
This movie is really a little gem. A darkly comic, sometimes shocking and incredibly simple horror comedy is perhaps overlooked by the masses, but should be easy enough to track down and enjoy on DVD now days.
The strength of the film lies with its simplicity. A family, on …
Year One Movie (2009)
I was so bored the other day I looked at my backed up movies and saw that I still haven’t watched the movie Year One. Year One (2009) is a movie that stars Jack Black and Micheal Cera. This movie was one of those comedy movies that I may …

The story is about Maggie (Hillary Swank) who wanna be a boxer, and he train …
American Beauty (drama movie)
I was reading a book about writing screenplays and at one point it referred to the movie “American Beauty” as an example of a good fairly modern screenplay. However when I watched it for myself, I realised that it wasn’t just the screenplay that was good, but the entire movie.
The …
A Mighty Heart
I can’t say that I really loved the movie “A Mighty Heart” since I never really did get to watch it in full but only watched parts of it over different time periods. When i was watching the parts of it, the movie did seem a little boring but …
Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …
Leningrad Cowboys Go America movie

The Hills Have Eyes Movie
I have seen The Hills Have Eyes, both the original and the remake. After watching the original, it made me wonder why anyone would decide to remake it. Not because the movie is so great, but because it isn’t very good. Going into the remake, I didn’t think I …

Once Upon a Time in Mexico movie
Robert Rodriguez returns with a sequel to his classic low budget film El Mariachi, but unfortunately this time without the same energetic visual style. The story is a very complex thing with corrupt CIA agents, drug dealers and assassins, but that is not what bothers me. Rodriguez have proved …
Tombstone Movie
With an all star cast and a killer plot, you cannot miss with this movie. It has an abundance of all the right stuff in a classic western, for example, it has lots of shootouts, loads of shootouts. This movie is great…just great, nothing short of what you know …
Hancock
Does Will Smith ever make a bad movie? Other than Ali, I mean. I watched his movie Hancock tonight and, when I got it I didn’t think it was going to be any good. It turned out to be a great film.
The movie takes a different point of view …
Kick-Ass Movie
Kick-Ass is a comic-book superhero movie about a guy who ask himself “why nobody has ever tried to be a superhero?” like the ones on comic-books. Kick-Ass is based in a comic by Mark Millar and I think this is one of the best comic-book movies ever. As a …
