Bus 174
Bus 174 is a movie that I really enjoyed watching with my sister and brother. We love watching hostages movie scenario, but felt that to happen in real life would be devastating. But I love watching how the characters blend and try to escape, something like that. …
The Patriot movie
The patriot is one my my favorite movies. This movie is remembered for the stunning performance of Male Gibson. He is also the director of the movie.
I have seen this movie more than twenty times. And in spite of this I am ready to see this any time. …
Bridget Jones’s Diary movie
Believe it or not, even though 2001 was full of comments about Bridget Jones’s Diary, I only just recently saw it for the very first time. I’ve been curious about it, though, so I went into the viewing full of wonder over whether or not it, and Renee …
Zombie Wars movie
My wife and I wanted to watch a horror movie last night before bed and I didn’t want to be up too late so I ended up picking out the film Zombie Wars; based solely on the fact it was only about 90 minutes long.
I wasn’t expecting much from …
Lost Angel movie
At the tender age of six, Margaret O’Brien had top starring billing in 1943’s Lost Angel, a story about a girl dispassionately named Alpha who is raised by a group of scientists without the frills of fun and fairytales. After she’s questioned by a reporter who tells her …
Gothika (2003)
A psychiatrist at a mental hospital is possessed by the spirit of a girl who was brutally murdered by the doctor’s husband. Did I give it away too soon? I don’t think so, even if you are given the entire plot of the movie right off the bat, it …
Peacock (Movie 2010)
John Skillpa has been living alone inside his home for over a year. Everyone in the neighborhood thought so. But is he really alone in that house? Or was he hiding someone else?
Cillian Murphy (John Skillpa) scares us with a very bizzare behavior. Everyday, before the clock strikes 8 o’clock …
Burn Before Reading movie
Like many others I was looking forward to watch the movie ‘Burn After Reading’. This is a comedy where George Clooney and Brad Pitt join forces with the Coen brothers as directors of this movie. Apart from the fact that I much prefer Clooney and Pitt in much …
Vacancy movie
What a messed up movie. The NRA should seriously show this to far left people who want to get as close to repealing the Second Amendment as humanly possible as it’s situations like this where having a gun would be really good.
This isn’t a political piece by any …
127 Hours: Movie
127 Hours is a film I thoroughly enjoyed upon first viewing, but I’m not quite sure it is a film that can be watched on repeat.
I liked the fact that it was based on a true story and loved the story itself; it’s such a testament to the man …
Leroy & Stitch movie
I’m always glad when it’s my daughter’s turn to pick a movie because I know I’m usually going to find one that we will all enjoy.
Watching Leroy & Stitch last night is a perfect example.
In what I think is going to be the final sequel to the original Lilo …
The Hurt Locker (2009) movie
Well after hearing some word that this movie was one of the best of 2009 I had to watch it for myself to see if the hype was true. I have to say they were not lying this movie was great.
I will not ruin the story but pretty …
Cinderella movie
Compared to the thousands of other Disney films that have come out since, Cinderella is far from the best animated film ever made. However, it’s still a real treat to watch whenever you have a family movie night.
Of the dozens of re-tellings of the Cinderella story, Disney’s version is …
Hoffa (1992)
Hoffa, directed by Danny DeVito is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date of the movie was December 25, 1992 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Biography/Crime/Drama and stars Jack Nicholson as James R. ‘Jimmy’ Hoffa, Danny DeVito …
Carol (2015 Film)
I have been an avid follower of the Oscars’ race since 2013, when I was rooting for Gravity (then my favorite film of the year) to win the Best Picture (which would have been the first for a sci-fi film). And since then, I followed and watched all the films …
Big Momma House 1 & 2
The films, Big Momma House 1 and 2 are a huge tribute to the bravery of the actor, Martin Lawrence. I believe that Martin Lawrence is one of the best comedians of our time along with Rowan Atkinson.
In “Big Momma House” we see Lawrence interpret the role of FBI …
Strawberry Panic anime
“Strawberry Panic!” is a cute romantic subtle-drama series, featuring lesbian relationships between girls at an exclusive all-female
affiliated schools. While the lesbianisism theme is a bold step to take for anime, I don’t think the series was good enough. It did evoke much
emotion or attention in the viewer, neither through …
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 …
Movie Rocky
Rocky came out in 1976 and was written by and stars Sylvester Stallone. It is a movie that has inspired me most of my life. It’s about an average, unknown boxer who gets a shot at the Heavyweight Championship.
In the movie, the Champion, Apollo Creed, …
Doctor Strange, 2016 movie
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand with “Doctor Strange”. Not only does this movie introduce a new hero and defender of the Earth, but it even manages to expand the scope of the already epic franchise as a whole.
True, it is an origin story, but it …
Movie: Wes Craven Presents They
I got bored last night and once again decided to watch a movie that had been on our DVR for a while. I ended up settling for the film Wes Craven Presents: They.
My wife told me she watched that movie once and it scared her to the point she …
IMAX: Hubble 3D
Yesterday, my husband and I decided to see the movie IMAX: Hubble 3D and boy were we in for a treat. I am not a fan of spending 10$ per person at the movies but we had not seen an IMAX or 3D movie in awhile so it was …
Total Recall (1990)

This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Horror/Science Fiction/Thriller and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as Douglas Quaid aka Hauser, Sharon Stone as …
Desperate Hours Remake (1990)
I’m not a big fan of remakes of movies. I call them “removies”. I find that removies are rarely as good as the original movie. In part this is because the movies that are usually redone are movies that were excellent movies to begin with. Nobody tries to …
Illegal Tender movie
When I first saw this movie premiering one Saturday night I was a bit confused as to why I had not heard about it before when it was supposed to be released in theatres. It did not look like a indie movie to me, so that made me even …
The Forbidden Kingdom
How would I don’t give perfect ten for a Jet Li and Jackie Chan’s movie? I must be cursed. This is a story about a West-boy who gets addicted with Chinese culture especially the Kung-Fu technique. He even spent all of his life watching all Bruce Lee’s films. Well, …
OLDBOY (2003) - Film
Before watching this film I knew nothing about it other than its name, and the fact it had won a bunch of awards. I saw the film’s poster, which although quite cool, didn’t make me want to watch the film itself. It was a good few years after its …
Wild Guitar movie
What initially got my attention when the 1962 film Wild Guitar began was a shot of Revue Studios, which produced my favorite show of all time, Laramie. I’d never seen the Revue building and knowing a bit about Los Angeles, this gave me an idea of where it …
Lost in Translation film
“Lost in Translation” is an amazing film by director-writer Sofia Coppola starring Bill Murray, Scarlett Johanson, Giovanni Ribisi, and Anna Farris. The film takes place over the course of one week and is set in Japan.
In this flick, Johanson stars as Charlotte, a soul searching philosophy major …
Illegal Tender (R, 2007) movie
I really really wanted to like this movie. When I heard that John Singleton was making another movie, I thought that it was really going to be good. The film is based on a Latin couple living in the Bronx in 1985. The husband is …
Stuart Little 2: The Movie
I was never a big fan of the first Stuart Little. The whole idea that two adults would adopt a little talking mouse was always a little creepy to me, because even though I think that mice are kind of cute, I probably would have run away as soon …
American Vampire
I picked up the movie American Vampire in the $1 section at Walmart and now know why, until I bought it, I had never heard of it.
The movie reminded me a lot of the bad vampire movies that were frequent throughout the 80s. It had it all, teenagers being …
Pet Semetary (1989)
A small uptown family of five, cat included, moves to a small town where animals and people can come back to life after death.
As the new resident doctor for the small town, Dale Midkiff (Louis Creed) comes across an old indian burial ground where if you bury your dead, …
When A Stranger Calls (2006) movie
When a Stranger Calls is a suspense thriller that really was a waste of time. Not even scary in the least and everyone knows what exactly is going to happen.
The basis of this story is incredibly simple. There is a high school girl who is babysitting for a …
Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is one of the best Batman movies I have ever watched. I thought the actor Christian Bale really did hid character justice and was just the right amount of “dark” for the superhero. I thought it was a big change from the movies “Batman and Robin” and …
The Reader movie
The movie was an adaptation from the novel “Der Vorleser” , which was written by German law professor Bernhard Schlink.
The movie garnered nominations in the recently concluded Academy Awards and won the best actress trophy to Kate Winslet for Best Actress. After watching the Oscars, I was really …
Movie The Dark Knight
I had gone to see Dark Knight when it was just released in theaters, I was very interested to go and see it. With all the hype surrounding it, well deserved hype I must say. The Dark Knight is the most successful movie in the whole batman series.
The movie …
I Can Do Bad All By Myself film (2009)
I Can Do Bad All By Myself is another one of my favorite films from the director Tyler Perry. In my honest opinion I feel like this one of his best pieces compared to some of his recent work. I also call this one a classic because it’s well …
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith movie
I’m certainly one of those morons who grew up wathing the first Star Wars movies on vhs and adored them. Recently I watched the latest (and last) movie on dvd (yes, I saw it in the theatre too) and I feel ready to state my opinion on it now. …
The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery movie
This movie, The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery, seemed like it would be a lot more interesting than it was. It’s a crazy set up, though, with some nonsense about adoption and motherhood. Justine Bateman stars as wife, mom, and writer Lucy Freers who turns sleuth to find the …
Movie Three Can Play that game
Nearly seven years ago writer and director Mark Brown created a funny romantic comedy called “Two Can Play That Game.” While not doing huge number, the movie received a lot of acclaim as being a funny and romantic film. Rumors of a sequel have been alive for …
Miss Congeniality
The actress, Sandra Bullock is very much related to light hearted, feel good movies and “Miss Congeniality” is one of these movies. “Miss Congeniality” success is greatly based on Bullock’s acting abilities and a great script that includes action, adventure, humour and romance all mixed up together.
In this movie …
Wall-E
Wall-E by Pixar is an enchanting movie which is delightful, although it has a darker theme than most Pixar movies.
Wall-E opens with a tiny robot moving through an immense garbage dump. His only companion is his pet cockroach. Wall-E has a lot of personality and innocence, and also a …
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Identity is one of the best action movies around. I also believe that this movie resurrected Matt Damon’s career. He hadn’t done a good movie in a very long time (Good Will Hunting) and he is absolutely fantastic in this thriller. It differs from …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
The second installation in the National Treasure saga, this one doesn’t just pickup from where the last one left off, it has a soul for itself. This one takes you so far back in history that you will be amazed at what you missed out on in school.
Nicholas Cage …
Prom Night (Movie)
This movie is titled Prom Night and I was very hesitant and reluctant to watch it at first because it seemed like it was too unpredictable. The movie is all about a group of teens and they are one by one murdered on prom night —“ simple as that. …
Confessions of a Shopaholic movie
I went to watch the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic, since my friends and I decided to go out. And I recommended this movie since I was impressed by the trailer I had seen.
The movie is basically an adaptation of the Shopaholic Series by Sophie Kinsella. It revolves around …
