The Doomsday Flight
The Doomsday Flight is a movie I’ve never forgotten. I used to see it on late night television, way back before cable was even thought of. It was dramatic and even scary to me. When eBay became the big thing, I searched for it and finally …
The Call (Movie 2013)
As a fan of Halle Berry, I tend to tune into most everything she is featured in. When seeing the preview trailers for The Call, I was excited and dead set on seeing it. The previews were intriguing, but in a simple kind of way.
The Call isn’t meant …
Movie UP
Brilliant; refreshing; fun for the whole family. Need I say more?
Disney & Pixar Animation Studios have out done themselves yet again. Packed with adventure, GOOD moral values, and family friendly humor, this movie easily captivates one’s imagination. Most importantly, however, not only will the children be entertained, but the …
My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997 Movie)
I just watched my Best Friend’s Wedding again - I haven’t seen it since it came out. The initial thought that struck me was omigod! the clothes. I had to watch this just to remember what the clothes looked like and how giant cell phones were back then. (Seriously. …
All About Steve film
I like the fact that Sandra Bullock in many of her films, usually plays a feisty but vulnerable sort of character, a real fighter, someone we can all relate to. “All About Steve” continues in this time honored tradition, rather like, “Miss Congeniality”. I was pleasantly surprised to find …

Jerry Maguire
My family enjoys watching movies, we own a lot of DVD’s and we like Tom Cruise as an actor. We put in the movie Jerry Maguire (1996)the other evening to watch it.
Tom Cruise plays a busy sports agent in the film, who is about to be …
Bridge to Terabithia
I watched Bridge to Terabithia ready to get bored and be repulsed with the little knowledge I have about the film. Thanks to false advertising (equivalent to the preview showing the CGI effects), my impression on the film beforehand was that it was going to be another-kiddy-fantasy knock-off.
Still, I …
On the Town musical
Another great musical that I truly love to watch is On the Town. It’s very upbeat and all about love. It’s highly entertaining, with songs that make you want to sing along with them.
The story of On the Town is pretty basic. It’s three sailors on …
Storm Warning (UR, 2007)
Storm Warning is a film about a couple who goes boating in Australia on holiday. As the movie progresses, they discover that they are lost in some sort of swampy marsh. Further adding to their problems is the weather, and the threat of a storm. …
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (hereafter “Fellowship”) is the first movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. In many ways, it is also the best of the three. Of course each has its own unique strengths. There is not a …
Sliders Third Season DVD
Before I go into the show itself featured on this DVD collection, I have to say something about the packaging. The packaging for the first and second seasons DVD collection of Sliders was nothing to write home about, but at least it was serviceable. Sliders Third Season …
Hills Have Eyes, The (2006)
The Hills Have Eyes takes place in the middle of the desert in the Western United States. It stars Aaron Stanford and is a very exciting film.
The story behind the Hills Have Eyes is very interesting. Back when nuclear bombs were being tested in the deserts of the United …
13 Assassins (2010) - Movie
I saw this film with a friend for his birthday. He loves Japanese culture, and I actually met one of the actors, Tsuyoshi Ihara, at a Christmas party at my school. All the girls were crowding around him, he had the presence of a rock star. …
Enchanted movie
The story introduced me that the theory of “happily ever after” is just a fairytale. Enchanted shows you the fact, between the fairytale and the realities. Love needs time and everything may be happen when you’re about to find your true love. Well, I guess that was the idea …

The House of Wax (Movie)
I was excited to see this movie because it showed famous stars featuring Chad Michael Murray, Elisha Cuthbert, Brian Van Holt, but unfortunately Paris Hilton is in here too, which she later on regrets that she did this movie as she was terrible!
The movie is all about six friends …
Donnie Darko (Movie)
I have been told that I am the last person on earth not to have seen Donnie Darko yet, even though it is a very old movie. I just didn’t get around to it, even though I have most of the movie’s soundtrack on my iPod. The other night, …

I watch ‘Because I said so’ with my mom, which was nice since I realized that my mom wasn’t that bad comparing to the people out there. The movie is about a mom and her three daughters’ and how the first two is happily married while the last one …

Black Snake Moan movie
“Black Snake Moan” is one of the most confusing and pointless movies I have ever tried to watch. I thought it was so pointless and confusing that I never did watch all of the movie at one particular time, but finished watching the movie by watching fragments of it …

Film “The Other Guys” (2010)
I consider myself to be a fan of Mark Walburg but not of Will Ferrell. I used to like Will but I have found his last several movies to all be similar. Mark can play a range of characters, but Will always seems to play a very …
Dallas Buyers Club (movie)
It’s that time of year again when awards ceremonies such as the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes honour spectacular achievement in films released over the past year. As someone who considers myself as an artistic person and a film buff who desires to go into the business someday, …

Bonnie and Clyde (DVD Movie)
I call this my 1967 DVD classic movie and I never get tired of watching this endless times. Love both Bonnie and Clyde and if you are past 20 years of age and still don’t know who Bonnie and Clyde is, then you are really a geek, geez.
These 2 …

Harry potter is the movie, which my 3 years old son has liked a lot. I had been to the theatre with my little son and my husband 2 weeks back. The action in the movie is very good and the comedy is excellent. The costume …
The Day After Tomorrow
After watching The Day After Tomorrow, I have come to believe in goodness again. This movie has a great storyline, telling us how man is corrupt and only long for their self-interest and that is why the earth must die. I am not going to ruin the movie for …
After Dark Horror Fest: Borderland
Borderland is a bad movie, plain and simple. I can usually find some redeeming qualities in a movie, but this isn’t one of them. I think the real problem is that it was released as one of the films in the After Dark Horror Fest, but it isn’t a …
Norwegian Wood (2010 film)
Norwegian Wood is the film adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s novel of the same title, directed by Tran Anh Hung and shot in various locations in Japan. It was, I recall, an article about the author in the nytimes —“ a teaser before the release date of …
Vantage Point
This movie is about an assassination attempt to the president of the United States. It is not a typical movie I can say. I think the plot was easy but I did enjoy watching it. It is a typical conspiracy theory movie but with a twist. I really thought …
The Other (PG, 1972) movie
“The Other” is a very old film that a friend of mine told me about. It involves a little boy with a “twin” living in Sweden. What I liked about the movie is its “Wicker Man” (original) feel. The foreign land does that for the viewer. …

Doctor Dolittle
Doctor Dolittle is a delightful musical that has stood up through the test of time as an entertaining film. Oddly, when released in 1967, it didn’t do well. Musicals were sadly on their way out, and Doctor Dolittle was one of the victims. However, it’s become …

Django Unchained (movie)
One of the most impressive movies that I’ve watched so far this year was “Django Unchained”, which I feel was surprising since when I watched the trailer, I never got the feeling that it might give The Hobbit a run for its money even though I knew it was …
As Good as it Gets movie
I am reviewing the movie, As Good as it Gets, starring Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, and Greg Kinnear.

His neighbor is Simon, played by Greg Kinnear, a …

The Driver, movie (1978)
In 2011, Drive was critically acclaimed for its 80’s throwback style and intense car chase sequences. For comparisons, the likes of Bullitt and French Connection were often cited in many reviews. One movie in particular was left out of those reviews. This is criminal considering the …
Assault on Precinct 13, movie (1976)
As a director, John Carpenter has made it no secret how much Westerns have had an influence on his work. His classic films like Escape from New York and They Live have elements and utilize cliches from the Western genre. While his first film was the comedic …
