Movie Pretty in Pink
I must admit that recently I decided to take a nostalgic trip back to the 80’s and watched “Pretty in Pink”. In my opinion, this is one of the best movies for Molly Rigward along with “Sixteen Candles”. According to certain reviews, it also seems to be Molly Rigward …
Dark Mountain movie
1944’s Dark Mountain is a really nice B-motion picture. Certainly, there’s nothing stellar in this less than one hour movie, but the story is entertaining, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself while watching it.
Robert Lowery starred as a forest ranger named Don Bradley. I have no idea who …

Movie Rush Hour 3
Since my younger days I have always been Jacky Chan’s fan and enjoy all his shows which always impress me. Whether the dialogue is in Cantonese, Mandarin or English, I will still enjoy watching and will not get tired of his movies.. He is always the top of my …
Taken: Movie
Taken is one of the best movies that I saw last year, and certainly one of my favourites of the thriller genre.
The plot of a kidnapping or of a heroic dad rescuing his daughter is nothing new, but the script really makes it into something special.
I thought that the …
Alien 1979 Movie
I’m not a fan of horror films. I get scared far too easily. So, when I was a child, I liked scary movies even less. Movies likes Jaws, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elms Street were at the top of my list of movies that flipped me out. …

License To Drive (1988)
When I was a teenager back in the eighties, I thought the “Two Coreys” (Corey Feldman and Corey Haim) were the funniest guys around. I have seen every one of their movies, and still watch them to this day. One of the funniest movies of the ’80s, and just …

13 Conversations About One Thing (R, 2002) movie
If you are looking for a terrific ensemble film with a great storyline, look no further than the movie “13 Conversations About One Thing”. Honestly, I have not put much thought into the title other than to realize that the stories within are interconnected in a really subtle, …
Chernobyl Diaries 2012 Movie
I honestly expected more from the creator of Parnormal Activity Oren Peli. Many people seem to have mistaken this for a found-footage flick possibly due to Peli’s first series Paranormal Activity being found-footage or the fact that even though it’s NOT a found-footage movie they still wave the camera …
Footloose (1984)
This movie is very simple and straight forward, it tells the story of a teenager, played by Kevin Bacon, who moves to a small town and has to basically adapt to their dull and dreary way of life that does not include ‘rock music and dancing’. Now that their …
Ground Control
Keifer Sutherland plays a burnt out air traffic controller in the movie Ground Control. Henry Fonda plays a mechanic in the air traffic control tower who is trying to keep the system running with duct tape and bailing wire. Once Jack Harris was the best air traffic controller …
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 Helen Morgan Story movie
I absolutely adore The Helen Morgan Story. It’s an oldie, from 1957, but it is so tragically romantic that I was drawn to it from the first time I saw it. Helen Morgan was a singer and actress who made a name for herself on Broadway. …
Happy Face Murders
Just by looking on the title of the film, one can be able to tell that it is not something to be taken seriouly like a normal thriller or suspense movie would. However, when I first saw the movie was when I was over my relative’s house one Saurday …
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 …
Kungfu Dunk Movie
I watched the movie Kung Fu Dunk on DVD last week. My dad is an avid collector of DVDs and has practically all the movies in the past 3 years. Among all the new movies that my dad had just purchased, my boyfriend chose to watch this one. …
A Walk to Remember
“Tearjerker.” That’s how many people describe the movie adaptation of the popular novel by Nicholas Sparks, featuring pop princess Mandy Moore and TV cutie Shane West.
But unlike the novel version that is set in the 1950’s, the movie version was set in a more recent time of 1998, probably …

Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen
When we first saw previews for the movie Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen, we thought it would be a somewhat funny movie. Turns out it was actually quite dull.
Unless you like seeing a teenaged Lindsay Lohan in a tight red dress, there really isn’t much value to this …
The Wedding Singer
“The Wedding Singer” is definitely one of the movies mostly related to Adam Sandler. Personally I was very much looked forward to watch this movie after I saw the trailer, however in the end it failed to reach my expectations. I expected a funnier Adam Sandler like in the …
The Covenant Movie
Known for its outstanding special effects, The Covenant promises fun, adventure, and a total disregard for the movie rules, but this is one movie that delivers what it promises, and it works. Four friends share a centuries-old secret, being that they are warlocks, and descendants of …
27 Dresses
The other day, I gave in to my wife and watched the romantic comedy 27 Dresses with her.
While I’ll be quick to admit I actually enjoyed the movie; I was left a bit disappointed by it.
My biggest complaint about the film, which is about a woman who has attended …
Iron man
Although I have always likes movies about superheroes in last few years I haven’t seen many good ones so I wasn’t expecting anything specially from Iron man either.
I know the story of Iron man because I saw so many cartoons about it and I have always liked them so …
One Hour Photo movie
“One Hour Photo” is the movie that caused people to view Robin Williams from an entirely different perspective. I (like dozens of others) am used to seeing Robin in his typical comedic roles. I have seen him perform in touching dramas, and love stories. So to …
Don’t Mess with the Zohan
I am reviewing the movie, Don’t Mess with the Zohan, starring Adam Sandler and a variety of other actors. So…how to explain this movie? There’s this Pakistinian guy named Zohan and he’s really popular. He fights terrorist groups. What he really wants to do is to cut hair, …
Feature film “The Switch”
I am only sort of a romantic comedy fan. You can usually predict what will happen in the end and that bores the heck out of me. I did see the ending coming, it was predictable and trite, but the movie was still ok. Jennifer …
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Back in the 1950s, they made the book Invasion of the Body Snatchers into a movie. I still think it is one of the better invasion movies of all time. But, today I’m going to review the 1978 remake of the film starring Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum
While not …
Transformers - The Movie
I grew up with Transformers. I owned Optimus Prime, watched the cartoons, knew the theme song. So there was both great anticipation and a small amount of dread when I heard that Michael Bay was producing a live action, CGI filled Transformers movie. The anticipation came …
The Incredibles
The Incredibles is one of my favorite animated movies. I’ve seen it quite a number of times already but I never get tired of watching it over and over again. I’m pretty sure that alot of people would relate to the wonderful characters. Shy and insecure teenage girls would …
Hollywoodland, Allen Coulter Movie
The film opens with a scene when George Reeves, Superman actor player, was found killed in his house located in the Hollywood Hills. The police attempted to investigate the incident, but not how long they decide to close the case and stated that Reeves died as a result of …
Hachiko: A Dog’s Tale (2009)
I’m a real dog lover, not only dog lover actually but an animal lover as well, not only animals but really I love even rats too and pity them whenever I see people or our security guards killing them! Anyway, I had to watch this movie seeing as dogs …
Set It Off film
Four young black women disillusioned and down on their luck, begin robbing banks to make their way out of the ghetto and move onto better things.
The story of amateur crooks trying to make their way in the criminal underworld is hardly a new thing; and this film is …
Drive Movie 2011
What is it with the movie Drive that has taken the movie world by storm? I just saw it two nights ago and I must say, this has truly reminded me of an 80’s genre flick. Just the intro alone, the music, the skyline shot, the dramatic scene of …
Fanny & Alexander Movie
For those who ever liked a film by Ingmar Bergman this is a definite must-see. I think perhaps most people choose this film as their first Bergman, and that is a wise decision, because even though the film has all of the trademarks of Bergman’s style, it isn’t as …
Movie Watchmen
If you are looking for a regular super hero movie about people with special powers who are trying to save the world I think this film will disappoint you. Although it is about saving the world and about people with special powers it is certainly not a regular superhero …
Valentine’s Day Movie (2010)
When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I thought it was a star-studded cast! There were several famous actors and actresses in this movie, of all ages, starting from Julia Roberts, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Kathy Bates, Patrick Dempsey, Emma Roberts, Taylor Swift, Taylor Lautner, Jamie Foxx, …
Godzilla, King of the Monsters DVD
At long last, an uncut, unedited version of 1954’s Godzilla, King of the Monsters has finally appeared on home video in an English subtitled version. When originally released, the film was hack edited and included the silly Rayond Burr footage in order to make the film more acceptable …
Halloween (UR, 2007) movie
I am not too proud to admit that I thought this movie would be a piece of garbage. But I was sooo totally and completely pleased with how this movie was made. Thinking that it would be a convoluted and cartoonish remake of the original thriller, …
Little Children (R, 2006) movie
I had been skipping this film over and over again in my Netflix queue. When it finally arrived, I was skeptical about whether I would like the movie. I understood that it was about suburban life, particularly two unhappy married people (married to other people) …
Letters to Juliet movie
Letters to Juliet, a 2010 movie release, was surprisingly enchanting and entertaining. I really enjoyed it. There were moments where it slowed down a bit too much for me, and in reality, I think it could have been about ten to fifteen minutes shorter and been a …
The Social Network: Movie
The Social Network was, for me, one of the best if not the best film of 2010 —“ and one of my all-time favourites.
I wasn’t too sure about the storyline but after recommendations I’m glad I gave it a chance, the plot is a very interesting and I wasn’t …
Super 8 (2011 Movie)
For me, Super 8 was surprisingly good film considering the trailer did absolutely nothing for me. From great performances to an intense build-up of suspense, it’s a very enjoyable film.
Although the film’s director, J.J. Abrams is known for his first-person photography, this movie really benefits from the fact that …
Movie Definitely, Maybe
“Definitely, Maybe” is a surprisingly charming little romantic comedy starring Ryan Reynolds as a soon-to-be divorced man in his mid-30s whose precious 10-year old daughter asks him to tell her the story of how he met her mother. Secretly, the daughter hopes that her dad’s recounting the story …
Netflix Online
I just became a member of Netflix Online and I absolutely love it! I have never tried Netflix until recently and have always thought it was confusing, but being able go online and instantly watch certain movies is amazing. You search through movies available to “Watch Instantly” and once …
When Harry Met Sally
Yes, I know, I know: for some reason, many folks have agreed that this movie is great. Wonderful. Almost a classic… Beats me why. I watched it a couple of days ago and found it very average.
Sally and Harry meet for the first time as college students, then life …
