Mean Girls: Bullying and Not Taking it Seriously
New Girl, New School, New Clique…you get the point. It’s another one of those chick flicks. “Mean Girls” is a fun watch with many of the stereotypical cliches, but it brings them to life with a capable cast of Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Tina Fey.
I can’t exactly …

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
When I come to think of it, there was such a long wait involved before I finally achieved closure on the Star Wars story. Just imagine waiting for a decade before I finally found out what was going on. Maybe if I read some books about the …
Mamma Mia
I’m a child of the 70’s. Yes, that means I was a *child* in the 70’s, so I never really was into Abba much. I just remember bopping to ‘Dancing Queen’ at the school disco (wearing my Mum’s incredibly psychodelic maxi dress if I remember correctly) so I was …
A Walk To Remember
When my friends and I talked about the movie A Walk To Remember each time, we would always remember the truly sad ending to this story. I am a hopeless romantic and I find myself knowing what’s going to be the ending to this really sad and romantic movie …
Ice Age 3
We got a chance to finally see the movie Ice Age 3 (we were going to see it in the theater, but my wife was too far along in her pregnancy at the time). It was worth the wait.
This third installment of the Ice Age movies wasn’t as good …
The Sixth Sense
The Sixth Sense is a very fine psychological thriller/horror movie. The movie, which is directed by M. Night Shyamalan, is a wide hit across the world. The movie has Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment and Toni Collette playing the pivotal roles and the best thing about the movie is …
Movie The Hangover
The Hangover was definitely a guy’s comedy. Telling the story of the morning after a friend’s bachelor party, where the 3 groomsmen wake up with no memory of the previous evening, a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in the closet, this movie definitely appeals to the …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
Wow. What a great movie. Bruckheimer has tapped into a zeitgeist here. People want FUN family entertainment and this is a terrific example.
Took the family to see it tonight and it was fantastic.
Afterwards, we compared the first and this one- honestly, I preferred the first because it had a …

This movie is the classic case of being careful what you wish for. I have always been telling my friends and family that very same quote year after year, time after time and it has never proven me wrong to date. Whether you are talking about real life situations …

The movie From Paris With Love is filmed in Paris, a beautiful location. In the movie, a personal aide to the US Ambassador, James Reese (starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers) doubles up as a secret agent with the CIA. What he really wanted to do was to become a top …
Breakin All The Rules Movie
Breakin all the rules
This movie is basically about how the wrong people are in relationships together and then they eventually get with their soulmate or so it seems. That was my interpretation of it but i am sure if someone else watched it, they will say another story. Why? …
Days of our lives
I have been an avid watcher of Days of our lives soap opera for many years. So it is only natural that I choose to do a review on one of my favorite daytime dramas. There are many of the original characters that have been played by the same …
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003 Drama Movie)
I heard of the movie Girl with a Pearl Earring long before I watched it, but I just figured that it would be one of those overblown movies that would only be popular because it had a Hollywood sex symbol playing one of the main roles. However, after forcing myself …
Enemy of the State movie
I had always heard about the movie “Enemy of the State” but I had not watched it until a couple weeks ago when I saw the movie being aired on one of my relatives cable television channels. I think the reason why I ignored it at first was probably …

My cable company is giving us the movie channels for the weekend for free. So I have been watching movies on them lately, at least the ones I haven’t seen already. I was going to watch disturbia when it came out and then I totally forgot about it and …

Reign Over Me (2007)
Director: Mike Binder. Featuring Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle, Jada Pinkett Smith, Liv Tyler, Saffron Burrows and Donald Sutherland.
I thought it was a really good movie, although definitely not easy to watch. When I saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be more on a comedy side. The fact …
Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs the Movie
So I’m sure many of you have either read the book “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” either in your own time, or to your children. I myself, being only a recent “adult” can quite easily and fondly remember the days of curling up next to mom and …
Over the Hedge
I spent some time thinking about how to describe how good the movie Over the Hedge was. The best way I can think of is, it was so good, my 2-year-old actually sat quietly throughout the whole movie.
Centering around a bunch of wild animals having to cope with a …
The Mechanic Movie (2011)
I watched the Mechanic yesterday and I really loved it. Just like other Jason Statham movies, it really delivers: it is action packed, easy to watch, exciting, really keeping you on the edge of your seat.
What was unusual, and what I really liked about this movie, unlike …

Shrek 3
Dreamworks’ successful Shrek franchise has more or less lived up to its hype with Shrek 1 and 2; Shrek 3, however, seems to fall short of the witty, fairy-tale spoof we have come to love. Although filled with humorous details and comical dialogue, the story is nothing short of …
Three and Out
I had never heard of this British film before, but it stars the new Bond girl, Gemma Arterton, and MacKenzie Crook from The Office fame, so I gave it a go. It’s a new film (2008) but, as with many British films, I haven’t seen it advertised anywhere so …
The Back Up Plan 2010 movie
The Back-Up Plan starring Jennifer Lopez and Alex O’Loughlin has a catchy subtitle: fall in love. get married. have baby Not necessarily in that order. The thing is, that because movies have to happen in less than a few hours, and the time span of this particular movie has …

This movie is obviously a kids movie but it has adult appeal. It is made for kids with the understanding that adults will be watching. It’s not boring or dumb. Their are many songs that are made for adults to sing along with that are sung by slugs. The …

“When in Rome” (2010 Film)
“When in Rome” the 2010 film starring Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel, seemed like it would be a really fun romantic comedy to watch. But let me just say now that I was not very impressed with this film. It was funny, but I think that was more because …
The Immigrant movie
Charlie Chaplin plays an honest man who immigrates to America. As soon as he reaches the new country he runs in to trouble immedietly.
I think this is one of Chaplin’s most underrated short films. The story has a nearly perfect balance between hysterical physical humour and social criticism, and …

“Meet Joe Black”: The Movie with Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt
“Meet Joe Black” classifies as one of the top ten movies Hollywood has produced, in my opinion at least. The movie was loosely based on the black and white film “Death Takes a Holiday.” Brad Pitt played Death, Anthony Hopkins played Bill Parrish, and Claire Forlani played Susan Parrish. …

Movie Wanted
Wanted is an excellent action film with a compelling enough story. The main motivation to watch this film is for the action scenes and the gun battles. Even though some scenes are not very realistic (It may be possible to bend or curve a bullet, but some scenes are …
Movie The good girl
I watched ‘The good girl’ because it seemed to be a good film however I ended up very disappointed! This is a truly awful film. I cannot understand how a very talented actress, Jennifer Aniston would be involved in such a lousy production!
In this film, Aniston interprets the character of …
Hollywood Ending, the movie (2002)
Can a suddenly blind director make a movie? This problem is the basis of the plot of Woody Allen’s film. It offers many attacks on Hollywood and its stampeded products. However, it was interesting to observe the creator who finds himself in a critical situation. How will he behave? How …
Wake Up Ron Burgundy

The Strangers 2007 DVD
I was really anticipating this movie, not enough to go see it in theaters but that is an entirely different post. The previews revealed enough to get me interested but they didn’t show all the best parts, which seems to be a running theme these days. It …
Movie: “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”
I recently saw the classic movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” for the first time. I can now understand why it’s a classic. The deeply disturbing story with its tragic, haunting twist ending has lingered in my mind days after watching it.
