Lady & The Tramp
This simple story of two dogs getting together is made all the more unique because it is told from the point of view of the dogs. I found this fact to be charming. There have been many stories done in this manner, but I think Lady and the Tramp …
P2
When I came across the movie P2 on one of our movie channels last night, I confess I only decided to watch it because it was getting late and there really wasn’t much else on. When I put it on, I figured it wasn’t going to be a good …
Hulk vs Thor (movie)
I was never really interested in the Thor comic book series when I was a little girl, but ever since I watched the movie “Thor” and “The Avengers”, an interest in the marvel character has been kindled. Therefore, from time to time I find movies and stories about the …
Crazy Stupid Love 2011 Movie
I just saw the movie Crazy, Stupid Love. This movie has had a lot of hype from the beginning and most of my friends are loving it so I decided to finally see it. This movie is a typical romantic comedy and it has an all-star cast. This movie …
Ruthless People
I recently watched the movie Ruthless People on cable and I really loved the movie. It is a pure comedy movie. But the comedy is just smart comedy and not cheap comedy. This movie has Danny DeVito, Bette Midler in the main roles and they are really good at …
The Mangler
I like Ted Levine and Robert Englund and thought maybe they could have made a film based on a Stephen King short story halfway interesting. But, even though they do a decent job acting in the movie “The Mangler” there is just too much they can’t make up for.
Let’s …
Film 2012
I went to see 2012 with much expectation due to all hype around it. But I was not very impressed with what I saw in the silver screen. I came out with a mixed feeling. The theme of the story is of course the world gets demolished on 2012, …
Candyman movie
A woman scientist investigates the legend of Candyman, a black man who was murdered a hundred years ago and his said to haunt a certain neighbourhood and claim the revenge for his death.
I am split in my opinions regarding this film. On one hand it is a very well …
College (DVD Release)
Star Power : None of great note.
Synopsis : Three highschool seniors take a weekend trip to check out a college.
Positive Aspects Of The Film :
1. As you’ve most likely figured out from the title, this is yet another college sex film ala 1980’s, “Revenge Of The Nerds”. …
Japanese Anime - Death Note
Calling all anime fans! If you haven’t watched the anime series Death Note (aka: Desu Noto), you need to put down what you’re doing & start watching! Having been an anime fan for years, I would say that this series really topped my list of best anime’s …
Tom Brown’s School Days movie
I had never heard of 1940’s Tom Brown’s School Days before watching it this afternoon. It was an intriguing view on honesty, integrity, and strictness at an English school called Rugby.
What fascinated me the most was the appearance of Cedric Hardwicke as Dr. Thomas Arnold. At the …
Casino Royale Movie
We went to see the new James Bond movie this weekend, “Casino Royale”. We were a party of two adults and found the movie to be good entertainment. Daniel Craig was a great new James Bond and both my husband and I felt he did a great job. He …
Movie Review of the Machinist
When Christian Bzle emerged from Hollywood to don the cape of Batman, the critics were at first skeptical, then heaped paeans of praise for his acting. It wasn’t as popular as Superman– hell, it was a portrayal of a dark character set against a dark backdrop. Between …
Kids in the Hall Season 2 DVD
I remember watching Kids in the Hall when I was growing up. We had a late night television station that ran the episodes in their edited form, and I always loved the show. The show was centered around a group of sketch comedians from Canada, and each had their …
Avatar
I am not a huge sci-fi fan and Avatar was not the movie I wanted to see. I was however out numbered by my thirteen year old daughter and husband. I can not even start to explain just how spectacular the experience of wathcing this movie was. I was …
Whats Your Number (2011 Romance Comedy Movie)
I initially ignored the movie “What’s Your Number” because I heard a few bad reviews about it, and I realised that it didn’t get a very good rating. This was even though I’ve always thought that the comedy actress Anna Faris was very funny.
I decided to watch it recently …
Mortal Kombat (1995)
This movie is based on a game of the same name, and whether that is a good or bad thing is totally up to who is going to watch it. I jumped on the band wagon and opted to go for it and take a chance that this movie …
Star Wreck (DVD)
This is a DVD collection of three “Alvin and the Chipmunks” cartoons from the 1980s. I remember watching these on Saturday morning as a kid, so it was nice to see Alvin, Simon and Theodore again in action. I particularly love their theme song, “We’re the Chipmunks”, and the …
The Time Machine by HG Wells
Bam! This story starts as a tragedy quickly becomes a classic science fiction thriller with an epic ending. In the 1800’s Professor Simon Newcomb was living a perfect life until his wife was shot by a mugger. Then he threw himself into his work on fourth dimension geometry and …

Bruno
I can still recall sitting in a packed cinema in 2006. Laughing uncontrollably at the hilarious antics of actor Sacha Baron Cohen’s infamous character Borat. So naturally I had hopes for Cohen’s new movie centred on gay Austrian model Bruno.
The opening scenes of Bruno shocked me. Yes, …
Jurassic Park Trilogy DVD
The set includes Jurassic Park and The Lost World, directed by movie maestro Steven Spielberg, as well as Jurassic Park 3, the third film in the series that saw the return of Sam Neill to the franchise. The set includes a fourth disc that is packed with extras covering …
The Net Movie
This movie offers a rather scary scenario of having your identity controlled - erased and replaced, in fact - by someone else, with the help of the modern-day technology. Angela Bennett (Sandra Bullock), a computer expert, comes into possession of a floppy disk with some valuable and secret info. …
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I am reviewing the 2008 movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This movie follows the trilogy, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. This movie sees Indiana Jones …
AMC Arizona Center 24
One evening while we were in Phoenix, Arizona we became bored so we decided to find a movie theater close enough to our hotel that we could get to within twenty minute drive and that was well lit. We talked to the hotel desk clerk and he recommends …
The Illusionist movie
I watched this movie today. It was very entertaining to watch. It’s unique, different from most movies. It brings something different to the screen. I liked all of the actors in it and they did a very good job playing their roles. I was entertained and interested in the …
The Haunting in Connecticut movie
I watched The Haunting in Connecticut the other day with my boyfriend and there are lots of scary moments for me. I was so scared out of my mind and a lot of times it made me laugh because I was so nervous like when a member of the …
Bad Santa
This movie is simply disgusting. I don’t know what they were thinking when filming it? Hoping to spoil Christmas for everyone, and especially for kids? The mention of Santa in the title would certainly draw families and kids to see this - and they shouldn’t. The Santa here is …
Hide and Seek
Last night I saw Hide and Seek in television, it’s a drama thriller movie starred by my favorite actor, Robert de Niro and Dakota Fanning. It full of intends from beginning until the end movie.
The story is about psycho daddy starred by Robert de Niro and his daughter Emily …
Valkyrie movie
Valkyrie is a film in relation to the rise and fall of Hitler and Germany. The movie could be interesting or emotional for those that were a part of the Hitler movement. If you were a part of that you might feel somewhat emotional or offended by reliving the …

My Man Godfrey,1936 movie
This is an excellent, although old, black & white comedy. The story takes place in the 1930s New York. Homeless bums are trying to survive searching in the dumps when a fancy car pulls up, and two beautifully dressed, wealthy ladies alight. They are sisters, Cornelia (Gail Patrick) and …
I, Robot
This movie is about the future, where there are robots. Will Smith is the main character in the movie. I think he does an amazing job in the movie and wouldn’t have been that good if he wasn’t in it. I really enjoyed watching the movie and it kept …
Movie: The Adventures of Robin Hood
I had heard of the movie The Adventures of Robin Hood but I had only seen bits and pieces of it until yesterday afternoon. It was raining out and I had nothing better to do (since my entire day had been planned as an outdoor yard work day) so …
Norwegian Wood (2010 film)
Norwegian Wood is the film adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s novel of the same title, directed by Tran Anh Hung and shot in various locations in Japan. It was, I recall, an article about the author in the nytimes —“ a teaser before the release date of …
The Goonies (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “The Goonies” is one that I have now referred to as an “addiction film”. What I mean by that term is simply this, that the film (for reasons unknown) is one that I cannot help but fall in love with. From the cast of misfits who …
Spiderman 3
I went into this movie expecting it to be busy. It was, but not at first. It started off very slowly, reintroducing the main characters and situations already familiar to us from the first two movies. But, with the preliminaries out of the way, things got rockin’, starting, I …
Pigs vs Freaks movie
In 1984, the movie Pigs vs Freaks was aired. Oddly, it had been filmed in 1980, and in truth, it was loosely based on a game that had been written up in Time Magazine in 1970. In other words, this movie was a long time coming. …
Kung Fu Panda 2
When Kung Fu Panda first came out a few years ago, I was surprised at how funny it actually was. I would compare the first movie to the Nickelodeon series SpongeBob Squarepants. This is because in both Kung Fu Panda and SpongeBob, there are jokes intended for adults, where …
Sliding Doors comedy
This would be just another romantic comedy were it not for its original storyline. It tells the story of a young girls, who’s just had a terrible day. She’s been fired and when she’s running to get onto the subway, a weird thing happens. The reality sort of split into …
The Transporter Refueled (2015) movie
What a disappointment! Over the weekend hubby and I decided to binge watch some movies that were on our “to see” list. One of these movies was The Transporter Refueled movie, the newest of the Transporter series. We’ve seen all of the other Transporter movies and we loved each one …
The Postman Always Rings Twice movie
This film hasn’t got anything to do with postmen at all. It’s a story about jealousy and murder with Jack Nicholson in the leading role. The film didn’t manage to engage me in its story for some reason, even though I think both Nicholson and Jessica Lange are very …
Ed Wood (Film)
Ed Wood is a film by Tim Burton which stars Johnny Depp playing the title character of the film. For those of you who don’t know, Ed Wood was a Hollywood director who was voted as the worst director of all time from several polls and this is basically …
Say it isn’t so movie
Say it isn’t so is a very funny movie with a lot of comic scenes. The movie is a romantic comedy and I didn’t know I would enjoy this movie so much. I just went to watch it as I was feeling bored and to my surprise the movie …
Hardball (2001)
A simple movie with a simple plot that anyone can relate to. nothing too over the top or overly dramatic about it, just a run of the mill drama with some appeal if you actually get in too deep and start to watch the movie in detail. This movie …
Masters of Horror: Cigarette Burns (movie)
This film is one in a series of horror movies directed by different individuals. I have realized that after a period of time, these films are more like “Tales from the Darkside” episodes, only with more gore, sex and violence. At any rate, this episode: Cigarette Burns …
