Wishing Well movie
Wishing Well is a 2009 TV movie that aired on the Hallmark Channel. It fits the mode of family film, but it’s a very old plot, one that has been re-used to death over the past few years.
Here’s the plot. Big city girl gets sent to small …
Transformers Animated Series - Black Arachnia Action Figure
Black Arachnia is one of the Decepticons in the Transformers Animated Series toy line. She is unusual in that she is one of the few female Transformers. One must wonder what gender would even mean in terms of robots, but I digress. She is a neat …
Rango (computer animated movie)
It took me years to watch the animated movie “Rango” even though some of my favourite actors did some of the voice acting. The main reason why it took so long too was that it seemed to have an “average” rating or “slightly above average” rating from people who watched …

Mother knows Best movie (1997)
This movie should not be confused with another film that was released in the late nineteen twenties. I actually saw this film on Lifetime some time ago and heard it was based on a true story even though I’m not completely sure how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ve read …

The Chronicles of Narnia:The Lion, The witch and The wardrobe is based upon CS lewis novels. The Story was about a Gour Children:Peter, Edmund,Lucy and Susan we where sent to Professor Digory Kirke because of World War 2. They find the house of the professor very Boring so they …
Motion Picture “Trick or Treat”
The movie Trick or Treat is different than most horror movies I have seen. Usually there is one killer or perhaps a pair of killers going around killing people in a movie. This movie has several plots going at once and you are waiting to see how they …
Enemy of the State
As far as Will Smith movies go, they are usually some of the better action films out there. One of his first ones, Enemy of the State, falls into this category.
In Enemy of the State, Smith plays an average American who is turned into the nation’s most wanted man …
Notting Hill movie
“Notting Hill” is one of my favourite all time romantic comedies. I think I like it so much because it presents a very straight forward story with a nice comic touch in it. Even though this movie is all about Julia Roberts and Hugh Grants acting abilities, it also …
Avatar The Last Airbender movie
Avatar The Last Air bender is a movie based upon a popular cartoon series form Nickelodeon. It was directed by the writer for The Sixth Sense and had a massive budget of 180 million to produce. The movie already had a fairly serious fan base when it was announced …

A sort of b-production science fiction from the late 1980s about a war between humans and machines. The year is 2038 and Ganheddo is a place where all surviving humans have gathered to figure out a way of destroying the evil machines. A theme seen many times through the …
Film Family Plot
Alfred Hitchcock’s final film, Family Plot is a gentle little final film for one of cinema’s greatest filmmaker’s ever. It is thrilling but it is not one of his trips into the world of stark horror that he delved into with Psycho or the Birds.
And this suits him just …

Movie: Transformers
I recently watched “Transformers”, the new live action and computer animated flick based on the cartoon from the mid 1980’s. Wow.
Having been a fan of ‘Transformers’ as a child, I had really high expectations for the film. Every single expectation I had was met and exceeded! Right down …
The Stoning of Soraya M
I recently saw a movie call The Stoning of Soraya M. This movie was really moving to me and I feel that I must write a review on it. This movie is based on a true story. It takes place in …
Mouse Hunt - DVD 1998
Released at the turn of the century Mouse Hunt is ridiculous in the extreme, in fact in places it is almost too silly to laugh at - well that’s how I see it but I’m sure there are those out there who will not agree with me.
The Smuntz brothers …
The Good Shepherd Movie
The Good Shepherd,directed by Robert De Niro, presents the history of the Central Intelligence Agency through the events of one CIA agent, Edward Wilson. While the idea behind this film seems worthy, I found it, at 167 minutes, to be a tedious mess.
This is De Niro’s first official …
Stepbrothers (Movie)
I really don’t like Will Ferrell, but my sister-in-law and brothers told me this movie was good and funny, and seeing as I didn’t have anything to do anyway on a rainy day, I watched this movie.
The movie is all about 2 grown-up adults who thinks they’re still young …
Happy Feet (the movie)
Don’t we all just love penguins? I know I do. I was really excited when the movie came out, i really had big expectations about it since it only heard good things about it. And the day finally came, I went to the cinema (which nowadays I do rarely) …
Freaky Friday
There have been many versions of Freaky Friday since the first filming of Mary Rodgers book, but it is the one that I still enjoy the most. Sure some of it is dated, having been filmed in the 1970’s and with most of that ages fashion shown in full …
Night at the museum
I went and saw this in the pictures. I have to say I was quite pleased. Everyone was going on about it and I thought it’s going to be really boring and stupid but I was wrong. I will admit it was not as funny as it could have …
Princess Diaries Movie
When this movie came out, Anne Hathaway was pretty young. She was playing a sixteen year old who has no idea that she is a princess in a royal court. In school, she is not popular at all. She has really frizzy afro-like hair and the only person she …

Zombieland Movie
It’s a short and simple story chronicling the lives of four survivors in a zombie infested America. Quite a shallow plot, but extremely funny. Its comedic factor is refreshing because it isn’t lewd or too slapstick.
Columbus played by Jesse Eisenberg was funny when he was alone, giving the …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
After three years from interpreting the role of Benjamin Franklin Gates, Nicholas Cage returns in this role with the sequel “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”. I believe that this role for Cage represents what Indiana Jones was and still is for Harrison Ford.
“National Treasure: Book of Secrets” has …
Stargate SG-1 Cold Lazarus
The “Cold Lazarus” episode of Stargate SG-1 is one of my favorites because it gives us more insight into the character of the lead character, “Colonel Jack O’Neill” as played by Richard Dean Anderson. Here, we meet the colonel’s estranged wife, “Sara” who is elegantly acted by Harley …
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (Film )
So instead of reviewing “music” exclusively, I decided perhaps I could try reviewing movies too, since I’m basically a huge movie fan too! And perhaps, as I’m hoping, my film reviews will be as much as valuable for this site too. This review is spoiler-free.
I watched “Me and Earl …
Epic Movie
I wasted 93 minutes of my life to watch this movie. I waited and waited for it to be funny still waiting!!! This was the most stupid movie I have ever seen. Everyone warned me not to see it but I did not listen to their advice. …
Crazy Love (2007)
This movie-like documentary story of the crazy love sensational between Linda Riss and Burt Pugach, is still well known up to this date. My parents know about it, my siblings and now me. The summer of 1959, this horrific incident took the nation by storm with all …
The movie Monsters Inc.
I think that like most people as a young child I was afraid of monsters. I remember lying in bad feeling so afraid because I thought that monsters were going to pop out of my closet and eat me.
It was because of those memories that when Monsters Inc …
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens is the rising young star of Disney. Thanks to High School Musical, she is now a nation wide start. She can act, sing, and dance. That’s a triple threat for you. Recently, I’ve noticed she has gotten more womanly. She has more curves now compared to the …

The Negotiator, directed by F. Gary Gray is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars Samuel L. Jackson as Lt. Danny Roman, Kevin Spacey as Lt. Chris Sabian and David Morse as Commander Adam Beck.
Hostage negotiator Danny Roman is framed for the murder of his …
Vice, Movie
Is Pseudoscience Fiction a genre? I’m not entirely sure what kind of film Vice was trying to be, but apparently it didn’t try very hard. This Westworld inspired thriller presents us with some fairly heavyweight themes and then fails to make any kind of attempt at tackling them.
A rather weak …
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 2
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood’s second episode starts off with Ed and Al in a train heading to the city of Liore. It flashes back to their time in Risembool to when they first perform alchemy for their mother, Trisha Elric. She dies in an epidemic and the boys …
Zathura
Jon Favreau, the director of Elf, couldn’t have outdone himself; Elf was simply too adorable. That siad, Zathura, his most recent children’s story, was much better than I anticipated. The special effects were a little chessy, particularly the malfunctioning robot and the entrance of the stranded astronaut. The child …
A Little Princess movie
I am reviewing the movie, A Little Princess. This movie centers around Sarah, a little girl who is placed at a school while her father goes off to fight a war. She is placed under the direction of a strict head mistress, who has children servants and a …
Traitor
The Traitor actually holds your attention throughout the almost two hours of the movie. From the previews and adverts on Tv, it seems like Don Cheadle is a “bad-ass” with some “superhuman skills” that he can turn on at anytime. Well let’s just say that that image was hyped …
The Princess Diaries 2: A Royal Engagement
The Princess Diaries 2: A Royal Engagement is a romantic comedy for teenagers. It’s storyline is that Mia, a girl who discovered she was a princess in the previous movie is turning twenty one and thus has to take the crown and become queen before she can do …

Movie Flight of Phoenix
‘Flight of Phoenix’ is a movie directd by John Moore. In this movie, pilot Dennis Quaid’s flight crashes on a scorching sandy desert. All the actors play the parts of the survivors of the crash. They are parched and anxious. All these actors have performed their roles wonderfully well. …

Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy is a great movie that you must see! Ron Jeremy has starred in nearly 2,000 adult films. He is nicknamed the Hedgehog because he is so short with a big hairy belly. This movie …
Madagascar 2
A truly great family movie that I was eagerly anticipating following the hit first title and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie with a couple of friends.
Full of laughs and witty little jokes and lines, this movie had me light hearted and comically relieved throughout and I really had a …
I Confess,movie
This appears to be one of Hitchcock’s lesser known films. It tells the story of a priest, Father Michael Logan (Montgovery Clift), who hears a murderer’s confession and almost gets accused of the murder himself because he cannot reveal what he was told in a confession. The murderer is …
Spawn Series
I don’t usually like cartoons. But a friend introduced me to the Spawn animated series. I saw the movie years ago, and didn’t like it. But at the time, I didn’t really have an appreciation for comic book culture. In any case, …
Happy Together movie
Yet another film by the master Wong Kar-Wai, which tells the story of a homosexual couple and their stormy relationship. It ends the era of his more explosive visual style and brings him closer to what he does today. The narrative is slower, more thoughtful, but still Wong Kar-Wai’s …
The Back-Up Plan Movie
Not too long ago I had an opportunity to watch “The Back-Up Plan” starring Jennifer Lopez as Zoe and the ever gorgeous Alex O’loughlin as Stan. This movie is about a women who when in her 30’s thought she would be married with kids. However, she has yet …
Dora: Save the Day movie
It really does take an entertaining cartoon to keep my daughter quiet for 30 minutes. The movie Dora: Save The day, accomplished the impossible, keeping her quiet for almost 2 hours.
All four episodes on the DVD were good, especially the episode that had Dora, Boots and Swiper trying to …
Fracture
Fracture a movie starring Anthony Hopkins is a great thriller , murder drama movie. The movie starts right off the bat with great action. Throughout the movie Anthony Hopkins is said to be the killer but no one can find the murder weapon, when all in all …
