2001 Manics Movie
While watching the movie 2001 Manics, I couldn’t help but think that it was the ultimate B-movie which I was usually so turned off of watching. It had lots of sex, gore, bad acting and young people which is what most B-movies usually has, not to mention the lack …

Batman v Superman - Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition (2016 Film)
I have seen the theatrical cut of Batman v Superman when it premiered last March but I walked away at the cinema with the feeling of incompleteness. I literally followed the production of the film since it was announced and I was hoping it would have paid off, but alas, …
Puncture (movie)
“Puncture” was a movie that I just didn’t care to see after I had read a lot of bad reviews on it. Even the trailer did little to stimulate my interest in it, even though later I came to realise that it had a very interesting plot. How I …
Rush (biographical sports drama movie)
While I did see the trailer for the movie Rush a few times, it just didn’t even appear on my radar, since I’ve stopped paying attention to sports drama films since the nineteen nineties. There’s also the fact that I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the actor Chris …

A Series of Unfortunate Events (The Movie)
Lemony Snicket’s ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ is a movie that documents the first three books of the series of the same name. The movie, like with most movies adapted from books, was a rather aggravating contrast from the real book. Unlike other movies however the real contrast came …
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army, is a great summertime “popcorn” movie bursting at the seams with nonstop action and bizare, creative characters.

Schindler’s List
I can remember my mother constantly telling me about this movie over the years. However, I never seemed to see it on television or cable so I didn’t watch it for a very long time. It was apparently supposed to be one of the best war movies too, however, …
Star Trek movie (2009)
I never really watched “Star Trek” when it was a series, because I didn’t understand it, and when I did try to take the time to I realised I wouldn’t understand it since it had been going on for years. Therefore, I didn’t like Star Trek because of those …
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004 movie)
For a movie that generated so much attention…it sure is boring. I tried to watch the movie straight tp the end, but it was hopeless. I couldn’t keep up with this movie as it didn’t have that staying power that a viewer looks for. It was long and drawn …
My Sister’s Keeper movie
This movie review contains spoilers.
I saw Cameron Diaz on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ talking about her role in the upcoming film ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ and couldn’t wait to see it. Usually I don’t like watching movies that look too sad, especially about children with cancer, but Cameron’s character …

A film about the life of an ordinary family in Tokyo, anime style.

Little Miss Sunshine
Typically I wait until after the Oscars have passed to start diving into the nominated (and winning) films. Little Miss Sunshine is a movie packed with an inviting cast and some pretty hilarious dialogue. Following a family on their quest to enter their daughter in the …
Identity Thief (movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Identity Thief on youtube before it came out I never really thought that it stood out, and so I wasn’t particularly interested in watching it. However, one or two people who I know encouraged me to watch it a little after …

500 Days of Summer movie
I rented 500 days of summer knowing nothing about it except that it starred Joseph Gordon Levitt who is best known for playing the Alien, Tommy on the sitcom “Third Rock From the Sun,” and Zooey Deschanel. I have to say that I enjoyed this movie, but found …
Groundhog Day movie
Bill Murray, who in my opinion is the greatest comedian since Groucho Marx, appears in the film a journalist who has to relive a day over and over. Apparently there is something he does wrong in this did and he tries to figure out what it is, but as …
The Kids are Alright Movie
Start with a lesbian couple, throw in a sexy B-list starlet, and some precocious teens and you have The Kids Are Alright, a surprising contender for several of this year’s Oscars. I really wanted to like this movie, and I mostly did, however there was something about it that …
Andaz Apna Apna (AAA)

Movie “Dinner for Schmucks” (2010)
I had high hopes for this movie. I saw the previews and it looked funny, plus I enjoy Paul Rudd movies and he is the star of this film. Sadly, while his performance and the performance of everyone in the film was wonderful I found it boring. …
You, John Jones!
You, John Jones! is a great little film short with a stellar cast. James Cagney appears as John Jones with Ann Sothern as his wife and Margaret O’Brien as his daughter. O’Brien is just adorable and so passionate and intense as she recites a patriotic piece.
This film …
Cheers for Miss Bishop movie

The other night, my sister and I rented this movie to have a fun night in with junk food and a movie neither of us had ever seen before. It’s a new release, starring Lindsay Lohan. Julia Ormond is also in it, which was nice for me …
Movie Taken
Taken (2009) is, without a doubt, the best action movie I’ve seen in years. Everything about the movie shines, from its pitch-perfect acting, to its well-written story and dialogue, to it’s incredible non-stop action sequences.
Liam Neeson shows that he can still carry a movie despite being in his late-fifties. …
Pledge This movie
I’m far from being a Paris Hilton fan. She’s an OK actress but isn’t someone that is going to have me going out of my way to rent a movie just to watch her. But, of all the movies we watched this past weekend, her film “Pledge This” surprisingly …
The Aviator (2004)

Once again, a movie I’ve never even heard about before turned out to be a pretty good thriller for our weekly movie night.

Red Eye (2005 movie)

Ocean’s Thirteen
My first and foremost pick-up line would be, ‘Go and watch Ocean�s Thirteen.’ It really is worth your money. Every time an Ocean sequel is make, it gets even better. This time, the plot is about revenge. Revenge on a newly about to be launched …

Galaxy Quest movie
Actors from an old cult-rated science fiction tv-series are contacted by aliens. Somehow the signals from the tv-series have reached the aliens and they think it has to do with the history of earth, which of course is far from the truth.
The film is a comedy, rather odd one …
