Spartans
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, Spartans, starring a variety of different actors. This is one of those spoof movies, like the Scary Movie saga. The Scary Movie saga makes fun of a variety of different scary movies through the years, whereas Spartans focuses on making fun of the …
Melancholia (2011 film)
Lars Von Trier is a spectacular film-maker for many reasons-his meaningful, charismatic, dark and devouring style, but what really makes his movies memorable is the fact how despairing and the amount of negative feelings that Melancholia for instance arouses with me. I am not stating that …

Screwballs, comedy film
Before American Pie was known as a classic there was Screwballs. This movie shaped what we now know as the modern teenage flick, a group of guys making a pact together and trying to follow through during the rest of the movie. A simple movie idea that is full …
Bloodrayne
Bloodrayne is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time and considering how many movies I watch a year, that’s saying a lot. The only reason I watched the movie is because it had Billy Zane in it and I’ve been a fan of his since …

Movie “The Spell” (1977)

17 Again movie
I highly anticipated the comedy “17 Again”; I’m not a huge Zac Efron fan, but the movie looked cute. Unfortunately, it didn’t deliver.
I liked the main character’s best friend; he was a millionaire nerd whose brilliant mind earned him a ridiculous amount of wealth, but whose lack of social …

A Wrinkle In Time Movie
I was fairly young when I first picked up the book “A Wrinkle in Time” — but to his day, very few novels (with the ultimate exception of the Harry Potter series) have managed to match it.
The book is one of high adventure and heavy imagination — and, as …
Employee of the Month movie
“Employee of the Month” had to be a Jessica Simpson movie after her success movie “The Dukes of Hazzard”. Unfortunately for her this movie represented her nomination for the Razzie Award as the worst actress in a female role.
However, there are positive aspects to “Employee of the Month”. This …

Mommy (2014 Canadian Drama Film)
Most often than not, small films like this one gets buried in a year full of blockbusters. Which is probably the reason why I was not able to watch this the year it was released. Admittedly, 3 years ago, I was not too much of a fan of smaller movies. …

Day of the Dead movie

Farewell to Harry movie
From 2002, Farewell to Harry is a small story, told quietly. It has some very slow moments, but that’s the grace of the film. It also has that mystery to it, to figure out what is truth from what is whimsy. I found that as I …
The Living Daylights movie
A new daylight for James Bond here played by a completely unknown actor named Timothy Dalton. I am one of a minority of people who can’t for the life of me understand what is so terrible about his appearances in this and the next Bond film. I think people …

Spectular…just Spectular!! The pinnacle in Anime, no other work has come close to matching the raw talent in Akira. It’s a visual masterpiece. It’s easy to see why this film is great…and seeing is believing, you must see it to believe it. I dare not tell you what the …

Twilight: New Moon
I was disappointed after watching Twilight: New Moon, while before I had great hopes for it after having enjoyed the first Twilight. I usually like Kristen Stewart’s performance; she is especially talented in fulfilling darker and uniquely fascinating roles. In this movie however, I felt that her …

When Pulp Fiction was released, I had not seen a good movie like this in a while. Pulp Fiction held my attention from the moment the movie started and I waited with my breath held to see what would happen next until the end of the movie. John Travolta …
Fool’s Gold Movie
When I saw this movie out it reminded me exactly of Into the Blue, but somehow funnier and really more comedic, mostly because Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey were the main casts in this movie! The honorable and legendary Donald Sutherland is also here as Kate’s extremely rich employer …

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei: Season One
I first watched this series with my friends in a theater, and I laughed so hard that the next day my voice was hoarse. I couldn’t talk regularly for three days after that!
The actual animation is amazing. They use different techniques from various periods in film history, including sound …
The Perfect Storm
I did not remember that this movie existed until I saw it being aired on a cable television channel just recently. I can remember that at the time it was release in theatres, it was advertised as one of the bigger movies and now I doubt that many people …

The new version of The Stepford Wives has its pluses and minuses, compared to the old 1975 movie. The plot is not only modernized but developed in several different directions, and so are some characters. Namely, Joanna Eberhart, the heroine, played by Nicole Kidman. She is a high TV …
