“Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” movie
After seeing the next one already, overrated film with Depp in the lead role, such as at least three of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” I realized that the goal of this production is only attract large audiences billboard advertising, a good harbinger, and the name of the actor.

Shrek The Third, Chris Miller, Raman Hui Movie
It is the obligation of a son to replace the task father in law as King when King Harold hospital. Not like, Shrek I feel it is not suitable to become King of Far Far And Away. Understandably, although already a member of the kingdom, many prefer to take …

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
These days, when I think about Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, I usually think of the short-lived TV series that starred Richard Dean Anderson. I loved that show. However, long before it came this 1954 movie with Howard Keel in the Anderson role. Joining Keel is …
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
The best way to describe this movie is a cute teenager movie with a humoristic twist. ‘Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging’ is about 14 year old Georgia Nicholson (Georgia Groome) who simply isn’t happy with her life. She dreams of having a boyfriend and thinks that she found the …

The Goonies 1985 Movie

Each of the characters were quite funny, …
Foul Play movie
I saw Foul Play years ago, when I was a child, and my mom brought it home for my sister and I to watch. We had enjoyed it then, particularly Dudley Moore, who we laughed at hysterically. I have since had the urge to watch it again. When I …
Hansel & Gretel
I wanted a movie my entire family could watch last night and ended up loading Hansel & Gretel on my Netflix player.

The movie …
Addams Family Values (1993 movie)
While this movie brought back the original characters as well as the same actors who played them, it was just lacking in the area of what I was looking for in a sequel to the first movie. It had all of the chemistry and potential for the greatness of …

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (PG-13, 2008)
This was absolutely one of the best films that I have ever seen. I now understand why there was such hype when the Oscar rolled around. In any case, I really feel that Brad Pitt has his finger on the pulse of quality acting. When I …
The Strangers (2008 Film)
The 2008 movie The Strangers, has changed the way I think about staying home alone, or answering the door late at night. This film was terrifying, and reached into the core of my darkest fears that have no come to the surface thanks to this rated R tale of …

Charlie Wilson’s War, biographical drama film by Mike Nichols

Get Hard (comedy movie)
Despite its fairly mediocre rating on IMDB, I actually didn’t mind watching the movie “Get Hard”. Since Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell were playing the main roles in it, expected something very raunchy and not as funny. However, one or two people I know told me it wasn’t bad. …
Movie: Ponyo
Because I have kids, just about everyone who has seen the movie Ponyo has told me it is a film we should watch with the family. So, when it became available on Netflix Instant Watch, I did make an effort to add it to my list and, this past …
Sean Penn’s Indian Runner. A Movie
I watched this movie over at my parents house a few months ago and quite honestly I was not overly impressed. The movie was both written and directed by Sean Penn and released in 1991 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Jurassic Park: The Movie
Jurassic Park is one of the highest grossing movies of all and it more then deserves that title. Even if movies like Forest Gump and Avatar have higher titles, it was still a blockbuster and continues to be now. Jurassic Park …
Phat Girlz
I’m not a big “Chick Flik” guy but when I read the description of Phat Girlz and how it’s about a woman who tries to create a clothing line for bigger women, I was a bit intrigued. Too bad the movie is nothing like it’s description.
The problem with Phat …

License to Wed
I didn’t know that License to Wed is a fun movie to watch. Unfortunately, I caught it on DVD rather than from the cinema itself, but it’s better than nothing.
This movie stars Mandy Moore (my favorite actress), and in this movie, she is known as Sadie. She …
Red Sands movie
This movie contained some of my favourite actors like JK Simmons from Oz and Spiderman, and also the actor Shane West. However, even though I thought the movie wasn’t awful like some others I’ve seen, I still think that it really wasn’t all that great, and I was expecting …

13 going 30
“13 going 30″ is one of my favourite movies of the actress, Jennifer Garner. Apart from the fact that the story is a good mix between romance, comedy and fantasy, I feel that this actress together with her on screen partner, Mark Ruffallo make such a great couple.
This movie …

Notorious movie
Notorious, this was a great title for the movie biography of the rapper Notorious B.I.G. I saw the movie about a week ago, and am still amazed at what his life was like, true or not. Notorious means widely and unfavorably known, which is the epitome of Christopher Wallace’s …

Memoirs of a geisha
If there is one book on a cultural setting that I like the most, it would be “Memoirs of a Geisha” by Arthur Golden. Aside from its compelling story, its precise-to-detail description of the flower and willow world in Japan is superb.
