abalonemoon.com
Abalone Moon is an excellent example of a literary e-zine. The URL address is http://www.abalonemoon.com and I thoroughly examined this e-zine on the 16th of April. As stated by Abalone Moon, they publish “poetry, interviews, prose, essays, reviews, photography and visual art.” It also states a central theme. …
New Halloween Movie
I am not really a movie person and often I find myself waiting until a movie comes out on video to even bother watching it. But I had different plans for the NEW HALLOWEEN MOVIE. I figured this would have to be a decent movie because of the past …
Jackie Brown
Quentin Tarantino takes a different route than usual with his third cinematic outing. His trademark humour and dialogue is still there, but things are a lot more casual and linear than his previous efforts.
The film follows Jackie Brown; a down on her luck, middle aged flight stewardess who, …
Winning of the West movie
I really don’t believe I’ve seen many Gene Autry movies, but the other day I was bored and there was nothing, and I mean nothing, on TV so I tuned in to a 1953 flick called Winning of the West. What I love about these old movies is …
The Santa Clause (1994 film)
One Christmas movie that I have really enjoyed ever since I first watched it was the 1994 film The Santa Clause. There was so much magic in this film and gave viewers a first glance look at the North Pole, which is of course every child’s dream, and the …
Halloween II (2009) movie
Rob Zombie’s journey from musician to filmmaker has certainly been interesting. The goth-rocker’s journey from ‘Dragula’ to ‘Devil’s Reject’ has been an odd mix of trashy screams and atmospheric horror, Rob Zombie’s films have always been something else. And ’something else’ is probably the best way to …
DNAngel Episode 2 (Anime)
DNangel Episode 2 deals with Riku Hirada freaking out after she was kissed by Dark to shut her up in the last episode. Risa forms a crush on Dark, much to Daisuke’s dismay.
This episode was a lot of fun, it was also interesting because it revealed more about …
Queen Sized movie
I came home early today and my wife was watching the movie “Queen Sized” on TV. I had never heard of the movie and, since it was raining and there wasn’t much else to do, I sat down to watch it with her.
I missed the first half hour or …
The incredibles
I just recently had the chance to watch this movie on dvd. My friends were telling me about it and how different it is from all the other super hero staff around. It is indeed with a special kind of humour, not as dark as the hero comix we …
Somewhere (2010 Film) by Sofia Coppola
I’ve been following Coppola’s works in recent years. Somewhere is Coppola’s latest film, and that’s enough reason to make me want to watch it. I was partly influenced by a write up published at nytimes. I’ve only had the chance to see it the following year. …
Paper Moon,1973 movie
Moses (Ryan O’Neal), a small-town con artist, agrees to temporarily take care of Addie (Tatum O’Neal), a ten year old girl (and possibly his daughter) when her mother dies in a car crash. The only relatives Addie has live in another state, and Moses will take her there. As …
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
The movie “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” was the first Dr. Seuss live action film I have ever seen. It starred the actor Jim Carrey and it came out when I was still a teenager in high school. I can remember that the movie was so popular that there …
Meet Bill (R, 2007)
“Meet Bill” is the kind of movie you watch when you have absolutely nothing to do, and you want to see a “bright” slightly sarcastic film. Bill is played by Aaron Eckhart. He wants to earn his father in-law’s respect, but can’t seem to do so. …
This is the End, Film
At first glance, —˜This is the End’ could be viewed as a vanity project. A comedy produced by the actors who star as themselves, it all feels a little bit self-congratulatory. The plot involves Seth Rogan, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson and James Franco having to …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 13
RomeoXJuliet Episode 13 begins with Juliet being taken to Lord Montague and being sentenced to death. Her loyalist followers decide to break her out of jail while Lord Montague confronts Romeo about Juliet.
This episode was really good. It was suspenseful and exciting and had a few surprises …
Click The Movie
A very nice concept this movie has. It is a guy Michael Newman(Adam Sandler) who is trying to make it big in the business world. However he finds it very difficult to handle both personal and professional life. He goes to a hypermarket to buy a universal remote control. …
If you believe
If you believe is a movie about a woman named Suzie who has forgotten who she was. It shows her as a seven year old having fun and being care free, outspoken and mischievous. Then it shows her as an editor who has no friends or life. She is …
The Far Pavilions,1984 movie
The Far Pavilions, 1984, mini-series, is based on the novel by M.M. Kaye. I have one complaint about the movie: several scenes are done in the dark, leaving you to guess what is taking place. Other than that, the movie is good. The story is about Ashton Pelham-Martyn, or …
Alien 3 1992 Special Edition Bluray Movie
While there was excitement in getting the first and second Alien in BluRay, I only got this one, Alien 3, just to continue the collection. Alien 3 1992 Special Edition Bluray is what I got. While I don’t watch it as much as I do the other Alien films, …
The Lake House
The actors, Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves team up once again together to make this exception movie “The Lake House”, after 12 years from working together on the movie “Speed”.
We are used to seeing Sandra Bullock in romantic and sentimental movies and Keanu Reeves in futuristic movies. “The Lake …
Movie: Night of the Comet
I ended up watching a movie last night that I haven’t seen in years; Night of the Comet.
While much cornier than I remember it being, it also ended up being somewhat entertaining and a great way to spend a couple hours on a rainy, stormy night (perfect weather for …
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I think Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a very cool and creative movie. I also think it’s pretty scary to see how drugs can affect you. I mean I’ve never done hard drugs before and by the looks of what happened in this movie, I never will do …
Spiderwick chronicles
My sister has wanted to watch the Spiderwick Chronicles now for a long time. So I bought it for her on her last birthday. She was extremely excited when she got it and she watched it that night. I think she must have watched it for about 5 …
TWIMC The Green Hornet
To Whom it May Concern,
I write this review today in hopes that this, my first review, is one of structure, integrity, and originality that will stay in the hearts of millions for the end of time. So to sum it all up I hope …
And God Created Woman (1988)
A very simple and straight forward movie with an evenly simpler plot that anyone can follow with great ease, this is the story of a trouble making female prisoner and her boy friend who she is trying to use in order to get out of prison and back into …
Clueless
Clueless, a hit movie about teenagers more than a decade ago, was one of my favorite movies as a teenager. This movie was shown at a perfect timing for me as a teenager myself during the 90’s. Its main character, Cher, played by Alicia Siverstone, could be a good …
Fools Rush In
“Fools Rush In” represents the big leaps from the small screen to the big screen for Matthew Perry. I feel that his interpretation of his part in this movie helped him get more important parts such as “The Whole Nine Yards” role. Perry was so excited by it all, …
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Saving Private Ryan (1998) is a drama film by acclaimed director Steven Spielberg and is rated R by the MPAA.

Movie Ever After
At first, i was hesitant to watch this kind of movie. I was thinking that it was just an ordinary cinderella story that i had known since i was a kid. Until one day, my siblings are watching “Ever After” and i have no choice but to …
The Shining (1980) movie
I find The Shining to be a completely stunning film, partly down to the transfixing performance of Jack Nicholson and partly down to the direction of Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Stephen King’s book of the same name but Kubrick has given the story an ambiguity that …
Legend of Zorro movie
I am reviewing the movie, Legend of Zorro, the sequel to The Mask of Zorro. This movie stars Antonio Benderez and Catherine Zeta Jones. So there’s Zorro. He is played by Antonio Benderez. He and his wife have a son. This son doesn’t know that his …
Sully (2016 Biographical Drama Film)
A Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks joint biopic sounds too good to be true. But it is 2017 now and apparently anything could happen. Back in the beginning of 2016, I greatly waited for this, but when the time it became available in cinemas I told myself to just wait …
Precious movie - Based on the novel Push by Sapphire
I read the book Push that is the novel that the movie Precious is based on first, so that I could prepare myself for what everyone told me, and the previews indicated, was going to be a difficult movie to watch. When I watched the DVD, I was very …

Vampire Hunter D (movie 2000)
A wonderful piece of artistic vision. This film is second to none in its class of animation. The plot was beautifully done. What’s it about you ask…should I tell you, or, should I just allow you to watch the movie and be in awe at its magnificence. I’ll tell …
Meet the Spartans DVD
I recently borrowed the DVD of the movie “Meet the Spartans” from a friend and watched it with my family. I must say this has to be the second movie after “You Don’t Mess with Zohan” which I would consider as a crappy movie.
The movie was first released …
Unthinkable movie
I was extremely skeptical, at first, about watching this movie. I am definitely one of those people that if something on t.v. or at the theater doesn’t catch my attention in the first ten or so minutes, it usually doesn’t manage to keep my attention to the end. And …
The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants, Ken Kwapis Movie
Four girls, Carmen, Lena, Tibby, and Bridget, have been friendly since. It appears to be fourth already are. Even their birth date is in the same week. One day in early summer holiday, they found blue jeans trousers. Fourth try them, indeed miraculous despite their different body’s pants, but …
Traitor, spy thriller film
Traitor came out and was hoping to bank off of the success of other films. It didn’t work too well but can the video release at least shed some life on Don Cheadle’s action movie?
Samir Horn (Don Cheadle) sells weapons to terrorists. When a sale in Yemin goes …

The Unknown Girl (French: La Fille inconnue) is a 2016 Belgian-French drama film directed by the Dardenne brothers. Starring Adèle Haenel, Olivier Bonnaud, Jérémie Renier, and Louka Minnella.
I actually think this film is more like a slice-of-life or documentary than drama, because it’s pretty mellow.
The story follows a doctor, Jenny …
Easy Rider
Easy Rider is a movie about riding. Simple as that. I suppose riders all over would be able to love the movie and relate to the journeys of Billy and Wyatt, acted by Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda respectively. Well, minus the dope at least. These 2 …
Movie Descent
My cousin loved this movie when she saw it in the theaters. So when it came out on dvd she bought it and gave it to me to let me borrow and watch it. I thought it was really good. The only thing I didn’t like it in was …
A Cinderella Story
“A Cinderella Story” is a cute Hilary Duff movie. It can be best described as a Cinderella story based in today’s day and time.
The film narrates the story of senior high school student, Sam Montgomery (Duff) who meets the love of her life online. When she suddenly realises …
Avatar, movie (2009)
Like nearly everyone else at the time Avatar came out, I entered the theater with high expectations that were blown up by well-done trailers and shining reviews. The artistry within the CGI seemed so phenomenal, and the teases for the story seemed interesting. So perhaps my disappointment with …
Fallen movie
A demon tells the story of how it was almost killed by a self-righteous police detective played by Denzel Washington. This demon travels through people by touch and becomes more powerful if his host dies, then he can take over basically any host. The demon Azazel claims to have …
