The Family That Preys movie (2008)
The Family That Prey is another movie from Tyler Perry that is one of my personal favorites. I have loved it ever since the day I first watched it. Like most of Tyler Perry films and plays they have a moral and usually some kind of twist to the …
After Dark Horror Fest: Borderland
Borderland is a bad movie, plain and simple. I can usually find some redeeming qualities in a movie, but this isn’t one of them. I think the real problem is that it was released as one of the films in the After Dark Horror Fest, but it isn’t a …
Shakespeare in Love (romance drama movie)
Back in the late nineties and early 2000s, I remember that one of the most talked about movies was one named “Shakespeare in Love”. I remember even though I was still very young back then, they hype made me curious to watch the movie. However, I finally got to watch …
Movie: The Last Song
I’m not really sure how the movie The Last Song got on my Netflix list but it ended up coming in the mail the other day. Personally, I think my wife must have added it because, while I don’t dislike Miley Cyrus, the movie sounded a heck of a …
Chronicle Movie
“Chronicle” is a very encouraging type of film; especially, during its beginning scenes. It is light and witty. The film is presented in a very one-sided angle—”so to speak. The audience witnesses: shots taken by the film’s character in way of his digital camera …
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (movie)
“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” came out back when I was still in high school. I heard the name mentioned a couple of times, but I never actually took the time out to either search for what it was about or even watch the trailer. I remember one or two …
Chocolat
Remember the movie Chocolat? I would have to say that this was one of my most favorite movies during the early millenium period. Starring Juliette Binoche (nice name), Alfred Molina, Judi Dench and other cast, this movie is a success. The storyline goes roughly around the main …

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 …
Spiderman 3
Spiderman 3 is the third in a series of films based around our friendly neighbourhood web-swinger; part of a vastly growing movie franchise: the comic book adaptation, many examples of which are due for release this summer.
As a comic book fan I often find that these films are like …

Guest House Paradiso Movie
To crazy gentlemen owns a hotel, a place which could well rate as the worst in the whole world. Situated next to a nuclear reactor, only having five guests in total and a drunk cook.
Rather hysterical film with a high tempo. Unfortunately it uses a “style” of jokes and …
You don’t mess with the Zohan
I watched this movie a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is its a little less funnier than previous Adam Sandler movies. Yes it has its funny moments but there are also a lot of boring and corny parts. The main story is about …
Rock Star movie
To put everything in one sentence the movie “Rock Star” is all out rock and seeing the actor, Mark Wahlberg with long hair, lipstick and mascara. In my opinion, this is definitly not the best film for him, especially when considering that at the time he already did “The …
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel movie
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel was released in 2009 and continued the success of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore as musical superstars.

POLAR EXPRESS DVD
Do YOU believe in Santa? I mean, do you REALLY believe? You know, you cannot hear the bells of Christmas, if you don\’t really believe, according to the DVD, The Polar Express! This is a wonderful family movie that is just so delightful to watch with the entire family. …
Movie The Ruins
I was quite disturbed by watching the movie, The Ruins. It is a gore story and in fact, filled with too much gore that made the story loses its plot, personally to me. Honestly speaking, I think this story makes Jeepers Creepers seem like nothingness. But …
Max Payne
I was at first hesitant to watch the movie by Marc Wahlberg; though I know he is a good actor and has proven himself way too many times in his previous movies, I’d say I am glad that I did go to the movies and watched it. I really …
A Simple Formality Movie
A film by the italian director named Tornatore about a famous author being accused of murder. Did he commit it or not?
Tornatore is known by many as the director behind critically acclaimed Cinema Paradiso, a film which in my opinion is very overrated and relies only on sentimentality.
This is …

Big Trouble In Little China
The eighties are definitely gone and not coming back, but some movie magic we got from that decade will live on forever. Among many classic movies that the eighties gave us was Big Trouble In Little China, an instant classic. Coming out in eighty-six, Big Trouble in Little China …

The original release date was December 25, 1999 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Adventure/Comedy/Science Fiction and stars Tim Allen …
Footloose movie
When I was younger I wanted to watch the movie “Footloose” very badly. I was a small child in the early nineties, and would sometimes see the movie going on some Sundays on one of the local channels, but ironically I never got to see it until I was …
The Karate Kid 2010
I just watched the 2020 remake of The Karate Kid. It was an enjoyable movie. I must say though that I enjoyed the first movie the best. The remake is entertaining but not a movie that I’ll find myself watching over and over again. Not because of the …
Aguirre: Wrath of God movie
Aguirre: Wrath Of God is a 1971 Werner Herzog film about a group of conquistadors in search of the lost city of El Doro. They are led by Don Aguirre (Klause Kinski), a megalomaniac driven insane by his lust for power and fame. Along their voyage, they …
The Wicker Man (Original)
I watched the original Wicker Man and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I’m not a fan of horror and although this was labelled as a horror film it really wasn’t. The ending was quite horrorific but the rest of the film was not. …
The Hot Spot movie
The Hot Spot is an ultra cool movie about a man who comes to town. When this man comes to town, everything that was static becomes shaken up. Don Johnson plays Harry and while I am not a Don Johnson fan (at all!) , I do like him in …
Price of Persia movie
This weekend I sought out to see Price of Persia with my father, stepmother, and 12 year old stepsister. I stepped into the theatre with high expectations due to the hype that had been circulating about this movie for months. I don’t think it really hit me until after …
The Gift (2015 Psychological Thriller Movie)
Initially, the trailer for the 2015 movie “The Gift” was not as stimulating to me as it was for some people. I found it hard to understand why people were so interested in a movie that looked like it was going to be a cliche stalker film. My interpretation of …
Serenity movie
Serenity is a great movie but most of the people who have seen it either love it or hate it. Serenity is my favorite movie and was made as a follow up to the series Firefly by Joss Whedon that I love. Firefly was only shown for a few …
Down to You (starring Julia Stiles)
I love this movie so much! Freddie Prinze Jr. is one of my most favorite actor and as for actress, Julia Stiles isn’t that bad too. Both of them simply rock in this movie I’ve watched before, Down to You. With a cool name as Imogen, Julia …
Over Her Dead Body
When I rented the movie Over Her Dead Body, I thought I would get a cute romantic comedy. I did. But, I also got a movie that was actually a bit dull.
While Eva Longoria Parker does a great job in the starring role of a fiancée who is killed …
Pleasantville (fantasy comedy drama movie)
After finally being able to watch it, I believe that the movie Pleasantville is one of those that sticks with you for a very long time, not just because it’s interesting but because of what it represents socially in terms of human evolution.
In the movie, the teenage twins David …
Movie the Number 23
The movie the number 23 is a Jim Carrey film but it is very unlike his other films. This is my favorite of his films because he actually acts in it. Normally he over acts and gets a lot of mileage from facial expressions and acting like …
Friends with Money (R, 2006) movie
I don’t particularly like movies with Jennifer Aniston in them. But I will be the first to admit that more and more her films are growing on me. This is only because the three I’ve seen (Derailed, Friends w/ Money, and The Good Girl) provided me with …
Hairspray (1988)
I have seen the most recent version of the movie Hairspray and I absolutely loved it. So, I decided to take the time to watch a slightly older version, the 1988 version that starred Ricki Lake in the lead role.
OK, the movie is essentially the same as the remake …
Pirates of the Caribbean-The Curse of the Black Pearl movie
Walt Disney takes us on an adventure upon the high seas in classic style. The action starts right from the beginning and never lets up. A young lad is found adrift and rescued by the Biritish Royal Navy, later to find that the boy’s ship was set upon by …
The Heiress
There is something about these old, black-and-white movies that many contemporary films seem to lack. Depth? Profoundness? The highest quality? Something like that. Granted, not every black and white movie is excellent by definition; I’ve seen some that were rather boring, or so naive that it was almost impossible …
Movie: A Christmas Carol (2009)
Disney’s A Christmas Carol (2009) is a 3-D animation retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel [Rated PG for scary sequences and images].
At the outset I will admit that I have never been a Jim Carrey fan, and my favorite version of Christmas Carol will forever be the …
X-Men 3: The Last Stand
X-Men 3: The Last Stand stars Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and Kelsey Grammer.
I was so excited to see this movie after seeing the first two, that perhaps my standards were too high. After seeing sequels of this genre like Star Wars and The …
The Box Movie
Having seen the trailer on this one, I perked up instantly since it was quite an ethical scene —“ a couple could have a million dollars right away with just having to push a single button, but someone somewhere in the world, someone they don’t know is going to …
Things We Lost in the Fire (R, 2007) movie
I was expecting a little bit of over-acting from Halle Berry, and perhaps even a bit too much gratuitous skin. There was indeed a lot of skin in this movie. But most of the skin shown was on the face–close-ups of the actors for long periods of …
Can’t Buy Me Love, movie
Although there are many films out there about the diamond in the rough teenager who just needs a little push to be less awkward, none quite matches the charm of this film with Patrick Dempsey long before he was famous. In fact it has hard to imagine the man …
Soldier movie
Soldier, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong violence and brief language. The original release date was October 23, 1998 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Drama/Science Fiction and stars Kurt Russell as Todd, …
