Is there any greater love story than Wuthering Heights? Well, there may be but Wuthering Heights truly is one of the best. The movie adaptation of the book was filmed in 1939 and no matter how much time passes, this film is a classic. Wuthering Heights stars the magnificent …

I’m not a big fan of Quentin Tarantino so before I saw Kill Bill Volume 1, I didn’t really know what to expect (I failed to watch the much talked about Pulp Fiction). I’m sure glad I watched it because it’s truly one of the most engaging movies I’ve …

Captivity is an odd movie that I picked up in the video store because of the After Dark advertising on the front of the box. I assumed that the movie was part of the Horror Fest series, but it was actually an independent movie released by the same company. …

A couple days ago I first saw the film ‘The Fighting Sullivans’, and I have to say that I REALLY enjoyed it. It was released in 1944, and was based on the true story of the Sullivan brothers, all of whom fought in World War II (don’t want to …

Memoirs Of A Geisha is one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen. The scenery was stunning, even when Chiyo, our main character, is running through busy, dirty streets. The women in this movie were all lovely, from young girls to older matrons. I was told that I …

The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King is the last movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. This movie is truly the most epic in scope as the backgrounds become more expansive and the stakes higher than ever. Aragon really comes into his …

“Thunder Cats” was one of the cartoons I can remember watching with my cousins when I was still a young child, as, although the show was released in the mid to late eighties, one of our local television channels would bring it on weekday afternoons in the nineteen nineties. …

The Boss of it All is a movie that I love watching. It is very goofy, and makes fun of the corporate industry, and what really goes on inside. It targeted and has a sarcastic message to those bosses who have it all, and making wry decisions.
The …

For some weird reason (maybe it’s Sean Connery) I actually prefer the last of the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Last Crusade, over the other two. I�m not sure why though because, when you think about it, it brings more of the bad stuff from the other two than the …

I completely forgot about the movie “Turbulence” until very recently when I saw it being broadcast on a cable televison channel again. Since the name sounded familiar I decided to even watch half of it in order to refresh my memory on the movie. The result was that I …

Shoot ‘Em Up is the latest action flick starring Clive Owen and the beautiful Monica Bellucci. This movie is pure cinematic entertainment; if you’re looking for a complex plot or a realistic action flick, this is not it. Instead, Shoot ‘Em Up delivers over-the-top gun battles and fights that …

Are you just plain tired of the same old horror movies? Are you sick of the tiresome overkill of the once popular (for some stupid reason) ’shaky cam’ in horror movies? Are you wishing for films reminiscing of ‘Evil Dead’? Well look no further than ‘Jack …

From the previous movie, the remaining dream …

I must admit that, although Tom Cruise gives an excellent interpreation in the movie “Jerry Maguire”, I still have “Born on the 4th of July” as my favourite movie. What is so great about “Jerry Maguire” is that it relies totally on Tom Cruise in bringing out the best …

Wow! This movie is definitely a much better film than you would ever expect from the goofy premise. A film that basically is about cursed hair extensions I wasn’t expecting much but then again I was. Sion Sono is a brilliant, disturbed and talented director who …

Pathfinder with Karl Urban, Moon Bloodgood, and Russell Means.
The location was somewhere in North America 500 years before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. The brutal Viking warriors came from Scandinavia looking for slaves. It is a simple story, but I found it to …

“Dead Birds” is one of my friend’s favourite horror movies, and he kept insisting that I watch it, and so I did. Up to now, I still think the movie, which I believe is a low budget B-rated horror film, is one of the best B-rated horror films …

Dead Like Me: Hurry is the next installment of this science fiction series, and it’s all about being in a hurry.
One of the subplots is Joy and Clancy going through the divorce settlement process, which is never pleasant. Another subplot has Happy Time employees dealing with an efficiency …

The Lord of The Rings trilogy was probably the greatest story ever told that managed to reach the grand stage of the movie theater. I just love the way this movie was put together, from the scenery all the way to how perfectly the roles were assigned to just …

A film that relies a lot on that the audience must not be aware of how the film ends, actually the whole point is put in the open in the last scene. Charlton Heston plays an astronaut who, after a long sleep in space, crashes on an unknown planet …

Vigilante Force is a movie from 1976 that featured Jan-Michael Vincent and Kris Kristofferson. It opens with sex and violence, two huge turn offs for me. I’ve seen it in passing a couple of times, when I was more into Kristofferson in his post-A Star is Born …

As a woman of a certain age, I found “Something’s Gotta Give” spoke to me on many levels.

This movie was second in the Harry Potter series. Usually the sequels are not as good as the first one but this one turned out to be an exception. This movie was in all ways equal in par to the Harry Potter part 1. The movie starts with …

If you love movies of foreign languages, then you can try to watch this Korean movie titled, A Frozen Flower. I thought it’s a rather weird movie and at the same time, feels quite confused by it all. This movie is basically about royalty, about the “relationship” of …

I have a lot of respect for 1955’s Guys and Dolls because it pulled off the surprise sensation of the year, musically. I recently reviewed Chicago and commented there how surprised I was at the performances of non-singers and dancers Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Renee Zellweger. …

Godzilla 1985 is really a poor movie compared to the Japanese release, which is titled Godzilla 1984. They are both the same movie, it’s just the American release came a year after, hence the 1985. I dislike how the American release was handled because the distributor removed or shortened …

Lord Of The Ring: The Two Towers (hereafter “Two Towers”) is the second movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I guess if there is a weak link in the trilogy, this would be the movie, simply because the story neither starts nor ends in this …

I bought this movie after seeing it at goodwill for 25 cents. It was a VHS tape but since I had never seen it before, and I still have a VCR I figured for 25 cents I could watch it.
Yesterday I was kind of bored after doing all …

This is definately a movie worth watching if you haven’t seen it yet. It has Susan Surandon in it. It’s about two girls that go off on a trip and one of the girls get rapped along the way. I think it is a wonderful story and the whole …

This controversial horror film by Tobe Hooper was made in a time where extremely violent films where becoming more and more accepted among the audience, but as a matter of fact, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be the most misunderstood film ever. The title hints to a gruesome …

The movie Trick or Treat is different than most horror movies I have seen. Usually there is one killer or perhaps a pair of killers going around killing people in a movie. This movie has several plots going at once and you are waiting to see how they …

I completely forgot about this film until I saw it again on the front page of the site “watch-movies-online.tv”. Of course, since I hadn’t read the book, I knew the name sounded familiar, but I didn’t know what it was all about. I was even motivated more to try …

Murder in Swingtime is a movie short that features Les Hite and His Orchestra along with vocalist, June Richmond.

Directed by Roland Joffe, City of Joy is a poignant film that touches the heart and even the very fabric of our souls. I’m not one who tends to enjoy a lot of in depth films that take place in other countries, but this tale of an American …
