Quickflix Online Movie Rental Service
At first I must admit that I thought the whole concept of renting movies online and then waiting for the movie to come in the mail, watching it then sending it back idea sounded a little bit stupid and very gimmicky. However, fairly recently I have had a problem …
Crimson Tide
Normally I don’t like war movies. They are OK, but they usually focus on blood and guts and really don’t have a whole lot in terms of actual plot. Either that, or they focus on a real historical event and I find myself having a hard time enjoying the …
Capture of the green river killer
I watched this movie on lifetime a few weeks ago. Overall it was a good movie. It wasn’t one of my favorites from lifetime but it was good. It kept me interested in the movie and entertained while watching it. The actors were good and did a good job …
Ida (2013 Foreign Film)
Very rare of me to watch foreign films (films that are not in the English language) so when I do, I always make it sure that I’m going to have a good time with it. Today I choose to watch a 2013 Polish film called “Ida” because first, it won …
DVD UFC II

Actually, there …
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera is one of my most favorite musicals. I love the songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber (I think he’s a genius). I especially love ‘The Music of the Night’. That’s why when I heard that it was going to be made into a movie, I …
Hatchet
When I read the description of the 2006 movie Hatchet, I figured it was going to be a low-budget film that relied heavily on blood and gore and not much on actual plot. Sadly, I was correct.
While the movie did have flashes of potential, it turned out to be …

Jonah, A VeggieTales Movie
Everytime I take a few minutes to watch a Veggie Tale movie with my daughter, I become more and more impressed with the series and want to go out and buy more for her.
Jonah, A VeggieTales Movie is a great example of this. Apparently, this is the first full-length …
Movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
My wife and I recently watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (I will refer to the movie as “Caspian”). I enjoyed the movie, but it was not as entertaining or complex as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
In Caspian, the four future kings and queens …

Casino Royale (2006)
I’m only a moderate fan of James Bond movies, so perhaps you should take my review with a grain of salt. Still, I like most adventure movies, and love movies in general, so I decided to check out the newest James Bond.
Man, was I confused! I mean, I like …

After four long years of waiting Aamir is back as Mangal Pandey.This is a comeback for Aamir as it is Aamir and only Aamir in the whole movie and yes he has proved himself once again.But the only drawbacks of the movie as Mangal Pandey are …
King Arthur
First off, I did not hate this movie. It was a somewhat entertaining movie with nice special effects, great battle sequences, and acting, when not overblown or stale, was watchable. What bothered me was at the beginning of the movie, we are promised with text on the …
The Exorcist, movie
I still find the “Exorcist” scary, and it won’t matter how old I get, how many times I see it, or who I’m with when I watch it, It will always petrify me. The story holds up well among similar films, and time has been kind to the movie …

Marie Antionette: The Movie
If you have done your history homework, you would be familiar with the name Marie Antoinette. In case you aren’t, she was the queen of France during the French Revolution. She was famous, but not for good reasons.
Marie Antoinette has been one of my favorite movies of all …
Lucky Star anime series
I came across a cute and girly series anime recently, called “Lucky Star.” The story follows the lives of several girls attending a Japanese high school, with a sense of humor. The main character is Konata Izumi,a.k.a Kona -chan; she’s lazy due to her love of anime and video …
Zombeavers, horror movie
With a movie title like this, you have a pretty good idea of what sort of movie you’re in for. This isn’t going to be a good movie in the traditional sense, although that doesn’t necessarily mean that it won’t be an entertaining one.
Odd as it may sound, it …
The Perfect Witness (R, 2007) movie
This was a horror movie in the sense that the main character (besides Wes Bentley) is a complete maniac who does the sociopath thing really well. The premise of the story is fairly simple: a young man happens to catch a serial killer making a kill. …
Kalifornia, movie (1993)
One movie that did not get the due attention it rightfully deserved was Kalifornia. Yes, it is spelled with the letter “K”. Kalifornia will always have a spot in my must see section of my movies in my home because it was a dynamic thrill ride from start to …
Movie : XII (2008 Slasher Movie)
Oh how I love watching the occasional slasher flick. Sometimes it’s great to just sit back and not have to follow any deep story-lines and just enjoy the show, and when I watched XII the other day I certainly did enjoy the show.
There is a plot of course, …
The Muppets (2011 film)
I wasn’t setting the bar too high for “The Muppets,” this year’s reboot of the eponymous franchise. I basically walked in with the mere hope that Jason Segel (of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” fame) and his collaborators weren’t going to run it even further into the ground (1999’s “Muppets from …
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 …
Columbo: Columbo Likes the Nightlife movie
All good things must eventually end and such is the case for the much beloved, Lieutenant Columbo. After decades of solving murders, the very last movie was aired in 2003. Columbo Likes the Nightlife is the swan song for the rumpled raincoat-clad detective. It’s the last …

One of my favorite movies of all times has to be “My Cousin Vinny.” For anyone who has not seen this movie since it came out in 1992, give it a try. You will find yourself laughing through most of the movie.
The first thing that drew me …

The movie begins with a dream sequence which is where we’re introduced to …
Bye Bye Birdie
I just adore Bye Bye Birdie and always have. It’s an upbeat, delightful movie musical with a cast that includes one of my favorites, Dick Van Dyke. Dyke’s good-natured demeanor make him perfect for this role as a budding musician with an overbearing mother and a very …
Anatomy Movie
Anatomy is one of those horror movies that I really love. It isn’t too graphic, it doesn’t use a lot of harsh language, but it still manages to scare you in ways that other movies can’t. I think part of it is because the movie was made in Germany …
He is just not that into you
I must say that although I am a girl I don’t like romantic movie, I prefer Transformers to Titanic, and I’ll rather watch Matrix ten times in a row than to watch a Jennifer Lopez Cinderella story movies. But I really liked He is just not that into you. …
The Prestige movie
“The Prestige” starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, and Michael Caine is one of the best movies that I’ve seen in a while. The storyline follows the careers of rival magicians while their mentor is always in the background playing some small part. The thing that I loved the most …
Neve Been Kissed
I like Drew Barrymore, she has such a vitality that it just bursts off the screen. I saw a movie on TV the other night that she starred in. It was called Never Been Kissed.
This was a sweet movie about a 25 year old journalist who decided …

Thor: Movie
Thor is a movie I went into with some pessimism, but came out pleasantly surprised and see it as one of my favourite movies of 2011.
Another comic-book adaption, I thought Thor’s story was very well developed and can be seen as an entertaining viewing for children and adults alike.
Firstly, …
