Garden State: Movie
Garden State is one of my favourite films. I didn’t know quite what to make of the plot when I first read about it, but the beautifully written script and the well acted characters that you will just fall in love with make it a must see for independent …
Set It Off (1996)
Set It Off, directed by F. Gary Gray is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong graphic violence, pervasive language, some sex and drug use. The original release date was November 6, 1996 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Drama/Thriller …
The Terminal Movie
When Tom Hanks plays in a Spielberg production the result can be nothing less than success. The movie The Terminal was first screened in 2004 and has since been one of my favorite ones. I loved it immediately when I first saw it. Spielberg talks about survival, adaptation in …
Love and a .45 (1994)
“Love and a .45″ is an absolutely fantastic movie in my book and I have watched it dozens of times over the years. This film has its flaws, but overall is an excellent way to pass the time. There is action, drama, and comedy all rolled into one that …
The Maltese Falcon
I have seen dozens of mysteries but none of them compare to the movie The Maltese Falcon. Even though the movie was made 34 years before I was born, it is still the best murder mystery ever.
Humphrey Bogart is amazing as the detective Sam Spade. There’s nothing to not …
Movie The Last House on the Left
I went to see The Last House on the Left this week with one of my good friends. We were in the mood to see a scary movie, and this was pretty much the only one out. I hadn’t seen a preview for it (that I remembered) so I …
With Six You Get Eggroll
Doris Day’s final theatrical film was one her late husband had obligated her to do, entitled With Six You Get Eggroll. It’s a movie that is reminiscent of Yours, Mine, and Ours that starred Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. To me, this was a smaller scale version …
I am legend
I think “I am legend” is one of the quiet movies, because along the first hour, i just saw a will smith as the center of this movie. It seems that he is the only actor in this movie. In the scene, he shows his self centered. The script …
Casino Royale
I was very skeptical about watching Casino Royale for I was never interested in any of the previous James Bond movies. I figured they are very predictable, where the hero beats everyone up, always winning and ends up with the beautiful girl. I’m so glad I gave Casino Royale …
Gidget (TV Series)
After three successful movies on the big screen, Hollywood brought the girl midget (hence, gidget) surfer to the small screen. It was the big break for Sally Field, who took on the Gidget role. It brought her recognition. It still bugs me that she sneers at …
Josie and the Pussycats movie
I spent a good chunk of my Saturday morning watching movies on some of the movie channels we have a free trial of. One of them was Josie and the Pussycats; a movie I haven’t seen in a while.
This is a great movie, at least better than you might …
Pride & Prejudice movie
I’ve never read the book Pride & Prejudice before, but after seeing the movie this past weekend, I’m going to consider reading it.
The movie itself wasn’t overly impressive. In fact, it was a bit confusing considering the number of characters I was forced to memorize right off the bat. …
Deck the Halls
When it comes to Christmas movies, there usually isn�t much difference between one or another; especially when they are comedies.
But, the film Deck the Halls admittedly was pretty good.
It�s one thing to have Christmas spirit, but what if your neighbor has so much Christmas spirit it’s keeping you up …
Just Like Heaven movie
I watch Just like Heaven when I was flipping through channels and saw Resse Witherspoon, whose movies I love, mainly her chick flicks. I thought Just like heaven’s story line was unconventional and yet hard to believe although a bit eager to want to have. I did however end …
Vampire in Brooklyn movie
Eddie Murphy is vampire who goes to Brooklyn to look for a woman to keep his family tree intact. In the meantime he takes a couple of extra victims just to pass his time. The film was directed by Wes Craven, a sometimes very controvercial horror filmmaker. Personally I …
“She Devil” (1989 Film)
The 1989 movie entitled, “She Devil” was not only one that I think many people can relate, but was a fun and entertaining movie that made me laugh out loud countless number of times. This is a movie that was made quite some time ago, so I realize that …
Left Behind movie
Left Behind is a great set/series of movies. The Left Behind movies detail what it will be like once Jesus Christ returns to collect His chosen people. This movie details what happens to those left behind. I have read all of the Left Behind books but I have to …
17 Again
When I saw the shorts for 17 Again at the movies I was really excited to see it. It looked funny plus it had Zac Effron in it. The movie is about a guy who is unhappy with his life. In high school he chose family …
My Week with Marilyn Monroe (movie)
I’ve been into quite a lot of action films especially lately so it’s easy to see how a movie like this would have escaped my attention at first. I’m not even going to call myself a gigantic Marilyn Monroe fan but the little I’ve heard of her and just …
The Artist’s Circle
The Artist’s Circle is a small, artsy independent film that stars Michael Shanks, most known for his role as Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1. In this short drama from 2000, Shanks plays ‘the artist’. He’s promised his critics a masterpiece that they won’t forget. Among the …
Batman Dark Knight
I went to see the Dark night last week and I thought it was great, the movie was very dark and the Joker was very well played. I thought it was an amazing performance. However, In the middle of his record breaking movie run for Batman The Dark …
Signs (Movies)
I recently came to live in a new city for a few months, and part of my condominium lease included some great movie channels on cable. I have been re-watching a lot of movies that I saw a long time ago, and enjoying many of them. Last weekend, we …
Pleasantville movie
‘Pleasantville’ It’s one of those marvellous old movies which are worth watching a couple of times. The idea behind the plot seems almost like a clichee two teenage siblings: calm and inhibited David and his neurotic sister Jennifer, are transferred by the weird godlike figure …
Bingo (1991 movie)
The first time that I saw the movie “Bingo” was several years ago in either the late nineteen nineties or the early two thousands, and I was not very impressed with the movie. Even when I watched it a little more recently, I still was not impressed with it. …
Underdog movie
No one is more surprised than I am that Underdog is actually a good little movie. As a rule, I don’t like remakes or re-thinks that mess with the history of something I loved as a child, and I did love watching the Underdog cartoons as a kid.
Underdog …
Hostel: Part II (2007)
Three American female students are lured to a hostel in Slovakia where terrible things happen to people. Pickup up from where the first one left off, this sequel as most sequels do, does not live up to the previous movie.
While on the train to Prague, they encounter bad mannered …
Maid in Manhatten
This is another great movie to add to your movie night ! It has Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes as the main leads. I think it is a sweet story of a hard working woman who realizes that she wants and deserves more out of life and finally …
Europa Europa Movie
“Europa Europa” (1990) is the true story of Salomon Perel (beautifully played by Marco Hofschneider), a young German Jew who tries to survive World War II and the Holocaust. Perel moves first to Poland, leaves when war breaks out, is brought to a Russian orphanage, then taken in …
My Name Is Bruce
“My Name Is Bruce” is Bruce Cambell’s latest attempt at a film. Just like his others this film falls in the it’s so bad it’s good category. Basically the film revolves around a town and a young man who lives in it. Ultimatley this …
Wake Me When the War Is Over movie
This 1969 movie, Wake Me When the War Is Over, is a comedy that has moderate success. I actually think I liked it better as a kid watching it. Now it’s a little on the stale and slapstick side of things for me.
The movie stars Ken Berry …
H. H. Holmes; America’s First Serial Killer movie
I had a late night with my youngest daughter last night (she ended up taking a late afternoon nap so she didn’t want to go to sleep at her regular time). Since I needed to stay awake too, I ended up looking for something to watch.
I didn’t want to …
Alice in Wonderland 1951 Movie
Alice in Wonderland was one of those older Disney films that I never really understood as a child. Even now, as an adult, I still have some problems understanding the themes or what exactly is happening in the movie at certain times. The original film was released in 1951 …
Feature Film “The Collector”
This movie had made me be more careful about the movies I check out with netflix. I did not know too much about this film before I watched it. I had only seen the trailer and it did not look too bad. To make sure I …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …
The Break-Up (movie)
As much as I like Jennifer Aniston, I did not at all enjoy The Break-Up. I had read a bad review before seeing it in the theater, and I didn’t want to see it. The reason I did end up seeing it was that the movie I …
The Union: The Business Behind Getting High
I find conspiracy theories fascinating and although the documentary The Union: The Business Behind Getting High cannot be technically categorized as a conspiracy it is controversial enough to ignite the interest of anyone regardless of background opinion on the issue at hand.
Let me first state that I do not …
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (fantasy movie)
When I first saw the trailer for “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones”, I already figured out that the movie wouldn’t be very good, but I was still curious to know what it would be about. Later on, I found out that the movie was actually based on one of …
The House Bunny
The House Bunny is a chick flick or a date movie and you would either love or hate it. There are lots of date movies nowadays and it’s quite hard to choose the best of the best. But it so happens that when The House Bunny was released …
DVD: Keeping Mum
If Alfred Hitchcock or Wes Craven had made the movie “Mary Poppins” the result would have been “Keeping Mum.” Maggie Smith star of dozens of movies plays Mum. She takes a job helping Gloria Goodfellow (played by Kristen Scott Thomas of “The English Patient” fame), the wife of the …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I usually like a movie I could somehow relate into. However, “Confessions of a Shopaholic” is one of those movies that I liked but could not really much relate to myself. It is about a woman who has a passion for shopping, which I don’t.
Being into shopping entails …
Black Friday Movie
Black Friday : Movie Black Friday is a hard hitting film, based on the real incident of the Bomb Blasts that took place in Mumbai, (Indian City) in 1993. The story starts with a ‘mukhabir’ coming in a police station with a news that there is a planned series …

As expected,the film stars and evil leprechaun.The evil leprechaun is somehow in space in this film. The film is about a group of army marines hunting for gold on …
Night of the Living Dead
Even though it was made in the 1960s, there really aren’t many movies that compare in terms of actual horror to the classic film Night of the Living Dead.
I was watching it this morning for about the 10th time and have to say it is one of the most …
Get Him to the Greek (movie)
I was never a fan of the actor and comedian Russell Brand, and always wondered what other people saw in him, because I just never thought that he was as hilarious as some people would make him out to be. However, after watching him play a cunning drug addict …
Death Race (2008 version)
Fast, furious and deadly these are the best words that describe the movie “Death Race” with Jason Statham in a very different role when compared to “Transporter” movies. This film is a remake of the 1975 movie “Death Race 2000″ which had the actors, David Carradine and …

Dead Leaves anime OVA
I’ve seen some terrible movies in my day. “Catwoman”, “Transformers 2″, “Turkish Star Wars” to name a few. I’ve seen movies so bad that I roll my eyes when people make fun of “Twilight”. Granted, I’ve only seen the first movie and it wasn’t particularly good …
Shrek 2 movie
I’ve just finished watching Shrek 2 for the first time - yes, I know, took me a while to get to it. Especially since I enjoyed Shrek 1 and looked forward to see the sequel.
Overall, I was not disappointed. The movie has the same refreshing humor with non-traditional twists …
The Amazing Spider-Man 2, movie
While I was wary of rebooting the Spider-Man franchise so soon after Sam Raimi’s franchise was launched, I actually rather enjoyed ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’. It had a strong cast and did enough to stand on its own as opposed to just feeling like a carbon copy of the …
