Disturbia
WOW, I was so taken away, by the beautiful movie of Disturbia. It is a suspense thriller, and a lot of times caught me flinching on my seat.
This is a story of a teenager, called Kale, who has been sentenced to house arrest, for punching his teacher. …
Forever Lulu movie
Forever Lulu is a 2000 movie that took forever to be released. In fact, the independent picture never did make a real theatrical run and was ultimately released on DVD. However, while foreign titles went under the film name of Forever Lulu, in the United States, the …
Blades of Glory
Why is our society so crazed about sex, sex-related humor, gay humor and such?? Or perhaps this is not the society but just Hollywood? Go figure… Here is another movie full of that stuff, a movie that probably could have been good otherwise.
Blades of Glory is about two figure …

American Sniper - Movie (2014)
Movies dealing with war are usually not my cup of tea but after watching ‘American Sniper’ with friends, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. This was more than just a war movie, this was a movie that explored the intricacies of a man struggling to balance his personal …

The Forbidden Kingdom starring kung fu masters Jackie Chan and Jet Li for the first time together on the same screen. When I first went into the movie theatre I think I overhyped the movie. After watching the whole movie in it’s entirety, I was actually disappointed …
The Company of Wolves (1984)

Return of the Jedi movie
Some call this movie Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, but as I’ve said before, to me, it’s just plain Return of the Jedi. Once commonly thought of as just another sequel, once George Lucas actually wrote his other scripts, it became a rung in …
Stomp The Yard Movie
My brother recommended that I watch this movie since I loved dancing, and upon watching it I was first bored as the steps were quite robotic and it was so “formal”, the setting was in a university and it was quite different like cheerdancing is different to cheerleading, it …
Stargate
Stargate was released in 1994 and it launched a franchise. Kurt Russell starred as Colonel Jonathan ‘Jack’ O’Neil. I have to make sure that’s spelled correctly. This is the single ‘L’ O’Neil, versus the TV series Jack O’Neill, which has two ‘L’s’ and was played by …

A Dog’s Breakfast DVD
The A Dog’s Breakfast DVD is pretty terrific. If you’re a fan of David Hewlett or this movie specifically, I’ll start at the top by saying you’ll want to own this DVD.

Imprint - Movie
Asian horror movies are credited to be really scary, I remembered watching one horror movie from Japan, and the contortionist ghost in the movie is hunting me in my dreams.
Imprint is a horror movie that originated from Japan and directed by Takashi Miike and apparently Imprint comes from …
Summer School
In the year 2000 we have “High School Musical” but in the 80’s they used to have “Summer School”. It seems really funny to compare these two movies with each other because they represent two different generations and two different ways of making teen movie.
In “High School Musical” we …

Iron Man
Admittedly, I am no huge fan of the comic book movie genre, usually, I find the over-the-top performances and plots a bit too much to swallow. However, I can honestly say that I quite enjoyed Iron Man. I like that the movie was not made to specifically pander to …
Vice, Movie
Is Pseudoscience Fiction a genre? I’m not entirely sure what kind of film Vice was trying to be, but apparently it didn’t try very hard. This Westworld inspired thriller presents us with some fairly heavyweight themes and then fails to make any kind of attempt at tackling them.
A rather weak …

The Passion of the Christ (2004 film)
The first time I watched The Passion of the Christ I had to skip parts or at times close my eyes because the graphic torture of Jesus was just too much to handle. The more I watched it however, the more I came to realize the …
Movie: Arsenic and Old Lace
Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my all time favorite movies. It is an old movie that features Cary Grant, who in my opinion is the best actor ever. He truly shines in this movie. In the movie, Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) takes his new bride back to …

Movie Leon
In Leon (The Professional), the movie, is the first time that I ever saw Natalie Portman in a movie, and she was pretty young back then. Being young did not seem to faze this great actress, however, as she played the part of Mathilda beautifully. Not only does …
The Longest Yard (2005): movie
I had not seen the original The Longest Yard, but heard it was a very popular movie. The main reason I went to see the remake which was made in 2005 is that I like Adam Sandler. Sometimes his movies are a little too silly, but I …
What Just Happened? - (starring Robert De Niro)
Whenever there are movies acted out by Robert De Niro, I would make it a point to really help push the review of the movie. Right, call me biased or what, but I’m just in love with the man. Not love in that real love sense, but in …

Mary Poppins
Practically perfect in every way. That is how Mary Poppins described herself. She might as well have been talking about Disney’s blockbuster movie. Right up front I’d like to point out that my reasons for loving this movie was the music. The music stood out more for me with …
Kangaroo Jack
“Kangaroo Jack” is one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. Even now I am not completely sure as to whether the movie was made for children, young adults, teenagers, adults or simply for the whole family. Watching it made my head hurt, but for some reason, a …
