I have long been a fan of the satirical newspaper, The Onion. So, when they made a movie based on the paper, I had high expectations for it.
Too bad it fell well short of those expectations.
When I saw previews for the movie, I figured I would be watching a …

Due South: Free Willie reminded me of a series I watched a lot called McCloud. In that show, Dennis Weaver played a United States Marshal from Taos, New Mexico who was temporarily assigned to duty in New York City. He was a fish out of water, but …

This movie was one that I saw as part of an all female outing with the husbands left at home. The people who saw it were all women in their 30s, to give the review context. It stars Vince Vaughan and Jennifer Aniston as the lead characters, and as …

I had to do some last second shopping yesterday afternoon before the stores were closed for Christmas. While there, I noticed a movie in one of the bargain bins; Veggie Tales: The Star of Christmas. Since it was only $5, I figured it would be a great last second …

I just watched this movie recently, and from the looks of it, I do not think I will ever watch it again. Honestly, I thought it was a bankable film because it starred George Clooney and so far, I have been quite satisfied with his films, until I …

Inception is an 2010 action, adventure and mystery movie directed by one of my favourite directors Christopher Nolan who has directed the successful Batman movies. The movie was doing very well on the box-office and my expectations were pretty high after knowing that my favourite actor Leonardo DiCaprio is …

I’ve always been interested in the Bermuda Triangle so any time there is a decent production relating to it, I like to watch. I make the qualification about being ‘decent’ because there are a lot of very weird shows that are sub-par, so I try to weed those …

I am reviewing the movie, Something Wicked this way Comes. There are two young boys. One of them has a father, who is a librarian. The other one has a mother, but no father. The two boys are best friends. The boy with the father is always wishing …

The Professional is an absolutely fantastic film. Normally, the crime genre isn’t really for me. But this story is beautifully told about an assassin and how his life changes when he reluctantly takes on the responsibility of a 12-year-old girl.
First of all, the acting is excellent. The assassin Leon …

Okay, I know that many of you out there just love Pretty Woman. Pretty Woman is a love story and it is sweet. I will agree with that. But it’s a lame plot because really, how many rich men have to buy a prostitute in order to have a …

28 Days Later is a zombie movie with a realistic and terrifying feel to it. Directed by Danny Boyle, it was shot on digital video which gives it a documentary feel to frightening effect. The —˜zombies’ here are not actually dead like in other zombie movies, but …

—žBoondock Saints II: All Saints Day” is the long awaited sequel to the highly popular movie —žThe Boondock Saints”. The main cast remained unchanged, which is usually the good sign. Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery return as brothers MacManus, also known as the Saints of Boston. The movie …

This movie is based very loosely on 12th Night by Shakespeare. I watched the actual movie 12th Night first so when I saw She’s the Man, I put it together that it was based on it. Basically this movie is about this pair of twins, a boy and a …

This is one of my most love animation movies. I saw this film when I was still a child and I enjoyed watching it so much. This movie made my imagination work and also left me a lot of lessons. Although 3D animation was not yet that advance at …

Mr. Deeds is a movie I have watched and it’s actually a remake. What would you do if suddenly, you find yourself inheriting 40 billion dollars..? I can’t imagine that happening to me and hence, can’t think of the least or most possible way to save and spend …

I recently went to go see King Kong at a movie theatre. It was everything I expected. King Kong was full of action, suspense and romance. This movie protrays the well known saying, “beauty killed the beast.” King Kong is one of the best movies in 2005. And anyone …

I saw this movie a few days back on History channel. This is the old version of the movie. We also had a new remake a few years back, but this was an old one. It has two parts that were screened one after the other. This is a …

Since my daughter was very young, she and I have enjoyed watching many fantasy movies over the years. One of our favorites has always been Ron Howard’s “Willow.” The talented Val Kilmer is absolutely fantastic as Madmartigan, a great swordsman who has a tendency to only look out for …

The story adheres strictly to the clichés of the genre , and this potentially poses a risk for the viewer to be bored. The story revolves around two undercover agents, who under the circumstances must join forces to survive and succeed . It sounds familiar, and I do not …

I saw this more of an experiment to see if Jim Carrey could take on a serious role instead of his usual funny guy characters. I would have to say it was pretty failed in this movie. The concept was good but it just didn’t seem to follow through …

I love Only Fools & Horses and I was so glad when a seventh series was broadcast in 1991. As long as John Sullivan can keep writing brilliant comedy I see no reason to say goodbye to the Trotter brothers. —˜The Sky’s The Limit’ is the first …

Hanging up is a very normal movie which has nothing unique about it. The only saving grace of the movie is Meg Ryan’s impeccable performance. She single handedly did everything and the whole movie rests on her shoulders and she did a great job in doing that job perfectly. …

This is a really hilarious Korean romance comedy. It all started when Dae-Suh (a CEO of a respected IT firm who was educated in Seoul National University) woke up next to a stranger, Jing-Kyung. Later, it was found out that Jing-Kyung is actually a beloved daughter of a mafia …

I watched this movie because it features Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell and they’re pretty famous for doing comedies and it would be fun to watch Mark do a comedy with Will, so I watched this and I can say I’d rate it a 6 out of 10. Their …

We Are Marshall, directed by McG is rated PG by the Motion Picture Assocation of America and stars Matthew McConaughey as Jack Lengyel.
Based on true life events, this movie portrays the events that followed a tragic plane crash that killed tho entire football team, coaches and players of Marshall …

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. …

“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 …

I was very skeptical about watching Casino Royale for I was never interested in any of the previous James Bond movies. I figured they are very predictable, where the hero beats everyone up, always winning and ends up with the beautiful girl. I’m so glad I gave Casino Royale …

I am reviewing the movie, The Cider House Rules, starring Tobey McGuire and Michael Caine. Cider House Rules is about many things. Tobey plays Homer Wells, an permanent orphan who lives at the orphanage with Dr. Larch (Caine), nurses, and other orphans. He has been trained …

I purchase this movie together with some more as a time killing activity while my husband is on a two week vacation. I thought at first that it was just an ordinary and boring historical type of movies but as I watched the movie, I know it is more …

Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf is one of the outings that I always remember, probably because it featured two soap opera stars in the leads. It’s not that I’m a fan of either of them, as I’m not, but it’s just something I remember. The two actors are …

Let’s cut to the chase. If you are planning on renting “The Unborn,” do yourselves a huge favor and save your dollars for a rainy day. You’ll be better off nailing your eyeballs shut than watching this misleading sorry waste of time. This film is poorly written and poorly …

The finale of the first season goes to great lengths to impress us and tease us as well. Sarah and Derek try to neogiate with a mysterious businessman for the Turk device but they get more than what they bargained for. Apparently, this guy doesn’t want to sell it …

From 1995, The Net is a suspenseful, very well made drama. It’s identity theft to the nth degree, and it’s scary. Sandra Bullock plays Angela Bennett. She’s somewhat of a recluse, and she’s a computer nerd/geek. She’s a master programmer and hacker, and she knows …

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 …

I am reviewing the movie, Little Miss Sunshine, which was nominated for best picture this past year. It really is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. It stars Greg Kinnear as the father in the movie, Richard Hoover, who has a motivational plan called “the …

My wife and I recently watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (I will refer to the movie as “Caspian”). I enjoyed the movie, but it was not as entertaining or complex as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
In Caspian, the four future kings and queens …

Have any of you heard that a movie is out based on Ted Dekker’s Christian novel “Thr3e”? I didn’t think so. For some reason, Christian movies aren’t advertised wide enough, and this new 2007 release by FoxFaith is no exception. Besides, it was only played in some theaters, and …

George C. Scott stars as General George Patton, the American World War II hero and a rather controversial figure. General Patton takes command of the US Third Army after the Americans have suffered defeat in their first battle with the Germans at the Kasserine Pass, Tunisia. The first thing …

I was apprehensive about watching ‘The DaVinci Code’ as books turned into movies rarely translate well to the big screen. I must admit, though, that I was pleasantly surprised.
Tom Hanks stars as Robert Langdon, a professor of cryptology, who is the chief suspect in the murder of Jacques …

I am reviewing The Case of the Haunted Gainsborough, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …

When I came across the movie Blast on one of our movie channels the other night, the first thought I had was “I’ve never heard of this before.” My second thought was “Eddie Griffin in a drama? Are you kidding me?”
I originally wasn’t going to watch this movie but …

I must admit that I prefer the on screen couple, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson however the on screen couple presented in the romantic comedy “Failure to Launch” with McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t bad at all. These two actors managed to present a romantic comedy which is …

Supposedly, this is a sequel to “Butterfly Effect” with Ashton Kutcher; in reality, it is more of an attempt to remake BE-1, for whatever reason. Kutcher isn’t there, in fact there is no connection with the previous story / characters. There are no blackouts, either. A totally different guy …
