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 …

Movie : The Fair Haired Child
The Fair Haired Child, directed by William Malone, is an entertaining entry into the Masters of Horror series. I love this series of hour long films from Showtime and wish it hadn’t gone off the air. I love how it took the spirit of old eighties shows …

The original release date was May 18, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Animation/Adventure/Comedy/Family/Fantasy and …
Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army)
I love watching Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army) very much. And I think the character Hellboy or Ape, I think what he’s called is very adorable. This sequel is as best as the first one and in this part 2, there’s this Prince that has been resurrected and …
Ex Machina - Science Fiction Thriller Movie (2015)
Ex Machina is by far the best movie I’ve watched in 2015. I’ve watched it twice in theaters because I just couldn’t get over how amazing it was. (Some spoilers below)
The story is about a young man named Caleb Smith who works for Bluebook, a popular search engine, almost like …
Roots movie
This is a movie that changed my perspective on life forever! No movie has ever approached its impact on my psyche. This movie revealed my history in the very saddest and unflattering terms. This movie succeeded in erasing my innocent perspective od United States History and forever cast a …
Something New movie
“Something New” is an interesting movie which explores a relationship between a black woman and a white man. What I really liked about this movie is the intelligent way by which it presented the story within a simple and straight forward context and, at the same time, ensuring to …
Colossus Imax Theater in Langley, British Columbia
I went to the Colossus Imax Theater in Langley, British Columbia on January 8, 2010. After work, I wanted to watch Avatar again, as my way of relaxing after a rather busy and very exciting week.
I took the Walnut Grove bus at the Surrey Sky Train station, …
The Pianist (2006)
I loved the movie “The Pianist” (2006). The Roman Polanski movie three Oscars and probably deserved more. The movie tells the story of real-life Polish Pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Jew, who lived in Warsaw before, during, and after World War II. I found the movie believable and touching without …
The House Bunny movie
The House Bunny
PG-13
Director: Fred Wolf
Cast: Anna Faris, Colin Hanks, Emma Stone, Kat Dennings
When I saw the trailers for “The House Bunny”, I was excited to see it because Anna Faris was in the movie, and I thought she was a funny actress after seeing her in the Scary Movie …
New Moon (movie)
I am a Twilight saga fan, so I saw New Moon on the Saturday after it came out. I’d of course read the book and had seen all the previews, so I kind of knew what to expect. I’ve got to say that I actually liked it …
The Devil Wears Prada Movie
This movie is considered a “fashion” movie that’s best applicable for young ladies and women who dreams of making it to a very glam city with a good-paying job, a fantasic career, an even-better boyfriend, and a set of girlfriends to share it all with. Unfortunately, this isn’t the …
Autumn in New York
Autumn in New York is a mediocre romantic movie with an element of drama. The movie has Richard Gere and Winona Ryder playing the lead roles. It is the story of a man who falls in love with a very ill woman. I watched this movie on cable and …
For the Love of the Game
When I was much younger I didn’t like the actor Kevin Costner since I didn’t understand most of his movies at the time. However, recently I have begun to respect him very much as one of the few very good actors so I was intrigued recently when I found …
Apocalypto (spoilers)
Apocalypto must be one of the funniest movies I’ve seen this year. The problem is, it wasn’t supposed to be a comedy. But I couldn’t help but burst out laughing towards the end of the film. It just was too much, by that time.
First off, the …

Rain in the Mountains (2007)
As movies go this is best viewed with plans of lobbing popcorn at the screen from time to time. The plot was shaky and the acting so bad it was amusing. However, it is not entirely without merit for a small subsection of the population living in the Pacific …
The Mummy Movie
A remake of the old monster movie from the 1930s. Brendan Fraser features as the hero of the film in which an ancient mummy is accidentally awoken. He proves to have supernatural powers and starts to kill innocent people to gather strength and return to the shape he once …
Max Payne
I was at first hesitant to watch the movie by Marc Wahlberg; though I know he is a good actor and has proven himself way too many times in his previous movies, I’d say I am glad that I did go to the movies and watched it. I really …
The Changling
When I rented the movie “The Changeling”, I did so because it was directed by Clint Eastwood, and I really enjoy the movies he directs. The subject matter, a mother whose young son disappears, is gut-wrenching, so I didn’t expect a light or enjoyable experience. It was based on …
Insurgent Movie (2015)
Insurgent, based on the book of the same name by Veronica Roth, is the sequel to 2014’s Divergent. From the trailers shown, I had hopes that the film would be better than the first. However, it ultimately falls short of expectations and represents a step back for the franchise.
Insurgent starts …
Funny People movie
Judd Apatow promised the world with Funny People and delivered an atlas. Not even a good atlas but a boring one without any pictures. If you saw the previews and advance publicity for this movie and were expecting a comedy, or even a few laughs, like myself you will …
King Arthur
First off, I did not hate this movie. It was a somewhat entertaining movie with nice special effects, great battle sequences, and acting, when not overblown or stale, was watchable. What bothered me was at the beginning of the movie, we are promised with text on the …
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (movie)
If you are a die-hard Harry Potter book fan, you must put aside your prejudices and be prepared to accept that this movie will not be just like the book. At 157 minutes, this is a movie designed to portray a complete plot and to provide an enjoyable …
Blade (movie)
I love vampire movies but will also admit that most of them are like every other one I’ve ever seen. That’s why I’m a big fan of the movie Blade.
Like most vampire films, Blade focuses on a vampire hunter. Only, this is one of the very few vampire hunters …

The Recruit (2003)
I have made some harsh statements as it relates to the acting prowess of Colin Farrell and for that I must say LOL, I got you didn’t I? Even though this movie was a lot better than most of his movies, and he managed to show that he can …
Talk to Me (R, 2007) movie
If ever there was a true story brought to film that needed to be seen, it’s this one. “Talk to Me” covers the true story of Petey Greene, a former convict who fast-talked his way into a coveted Washington DC radio station DJ job. Don Cheadle is …

People Are Funny movie
In 1946, the motion picture People Are Funny was released. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it went on to become a successful TV show. In fact, that host, Art Linkletter, appears as himself in the movie.
In a sense, the movie provides a background for the …

Diary Of A Mad Black Woman movie (2005)
Diary Of A Mad Black Woman is one my favorite movies from the Director Tyler Perry. I personally consider it to be one of his classics and better written stories. Compared to some of his latest films, this one is actually gripping because the storyline is true and happens to …
A Real Young Girl (NR, 2001) movie
I was interested in watching all of Catherine Breillat’s films when I saw the movies “Fat Girl” and “Sex is Comedy.” But in watching 2001’s “A Real Young Girl”, I was just left confused. I enjoyed that Breillat supplied viewers with an extremely intimate take on female …
I Was a Male War Bride movie
Howard Hawks directed with great success this 1949 war comedy, I Was a Male War Bride. This is a twist on the war film that hadn’t been done before that I know of, and it was a real winner.
The movie opens with two people meeting and …
A Walk To Remember
I saw this movie back when I was in college. I never really like Mandy Moore as an actress but my boyfriend at that time wanted to watch it. This movie was also based from the book entitled A Walk To Remember also. I am not a Mandy Moore …
Prometheus movie
The most anticipated film for nearly a year, and what did we get?
Well, many people have many mixed opinions of the film. Personally I found it quite good, though conflicting. The plot went well, and mixed in nicely with the very first Alien film that came out. I …

The Bishop’s Wife
One of the most loved and cherished of the holiday classics is The Bishop’s Wife from 1947. Starring Cary Grant, David Niven, and Loretta Young, it’s an enchanting story of a bishop, his wife, and a Christmas visitor. It’s magical and everything good that a movie for …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie
I took my daughter to see this film in 3D at the theatres, and we enjoyed it so much that I purchased it on the day it was available on DVD.
