My Bloody Valentine 3D
My Bloody Valentine 3D, The remake of the 1981 version by director George Mihalka, definitely is one worth seeing. Personally I think the 3D effect should be used in all horror films. 10 years after Harry Warden wakes up from a coma, he goes on a killing rampage know …
Happy Feet (2006)
When I first watched the previews for Happy Feet, I was apalled and vowed never to watch the movie. Aside from a recent lack of creativity as far as CG movies are concerned, the concept of the movie seemed inexplicably bland. Indeed, the type of idea that someone comes …
Scooby doo and the goblin king
I rented this movie to watch with my sister. Overall it was pretty good. She has always liked scooby doo and so have I. I liked the creativity of it and the characters in it. There is a pumpkin in it, I can’t remember what his name is but …
Transformers The Movie
The series which this movie is based on is undeniably one of my all-time favorites since I was a kid. Now that Michael Bay together with Steven Spielberg made Transformers into an extraordinarily amazing movie, my interest in Sci-Fi movies has broadened into such great fascination that I became …

One of the great things to come out of DVD marketing in recent years is the the franchise collection, collecting numerous movies in a particular franchise and offering them all in one box at a cheap price. For example we have here the Riddick Trilogy, which provides us …
Charlie Wilson’s War (2007)
“Charlie Wilson’s War” opened in my local theatre this weekend. I went to a matinee and enjoyed it very much. The movie tells the story of Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson and his efforts to finance covert operations in Afghanistan to help defeat the Soviets who had invaded. The movie …
Aliens (1986)
Ripley returns to fight off an army of aliens, but this time she’s backed up by a whole host of gun toting hombres.
The tagline of this film pretty much sums the plot up; “this time its war”, and for the most part, that’s what this film is; a war …
Danika (R, 2006)
Marisa Tomei is one of those actresses who pops up in an unexpected film and steals the show. She did so in “Danika”—”a film about a woman who has a tight hold on her children, and is a bit overprotective. This is the way the film is …
300 Movie
I suuuuuper love this movie! The concept, the visuals, the sounds, the costumes, the actors, the abs… Although I already knew what was going to happen to them, I still loved how they came to that grand finale. And even if Leonidas was supposedly killed by a rain of …
‘Batman: Assault on Arkham’ Movie
I was fortunate to know ahead of time that this wasn’t really a “Batman” movie. Yes, the title would lead you to believe that, but this is really more of a Suicide Squad movie. Batman is in it, but he’s more of a supporting character.
Now, the …
Movie: The Last Song
I’m not really sure how the movie The Last Song got on my Netflix list but it ended up coming in the mail the other day. Personally, I think my wife must have added it because, while I don’t dislike Miley Cyrus, the movie sounded a heck of a …
Children of Men movie
Children of Men: The world has stopped procreating due to some unknown inferility plaguing the world. One woman is pregnant and she must be safely transported to the “Human Project.” What this project is, the movie never explains. Why humans are infertile or why she is able to have …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
I am Greek and when we saw the movie advertized for the MY Big Fat Greek Wedding. I had to watch this movie. It was hilarious.
While watching this movie I could see so many things that some of the people that I know related to this movie. …
The Burbs, movies
Modern suburbia, a world where the paper boy flys by, neighbors pick flowers and the flad is raised every morning at dawn. Even if it isn’t your neighborhood, you’ll be able to sympathize with the one that Tom Hanks inhabits in this great family comedy with mild scares and …
Sicario (2015 Crime Thriller Movie)
A friend of mine kept nagging me about watching the movie Sicario, but I just never really got around to it. Eventually after the blu-ray version came out, I decided to give it a try without watching the trailer first. I was happy I did that, because Sicario turned out …
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service with George Lazenby, Diana Rigg, and Telly Savalas.
I had never seen this film, but I always wondered why this was Lazenby’s only movie as James Bond. Well I now know why. This rough looking big eared Scot was not …
Quatermass and the Pit movie
In an ancient pit in London, something is found by archeologists. This is first believed to be some kind of bomb, but traces indicate that the pit is too old for that. A professor has another theory, which at first is laughed at, but perhaps the pit wasn’t dug …
Baby Einstein DVD’s
My children, as babies, have absolutely thoroughly enjoyed the Baby Einstein DVD’s. They are usually sold at Babies R Us, Borders Books and Music, BJ’s, and Costco, as well as other common stores. This series of learning DVD’s allows your baby to not only enjoy the sounds …
The Ring (2002) movie
People used to tell me all about this movie, so I knew what to expect but my girlfriend still said I had to watch it cause the creepiness gets to everyone. I can’t lie this movie is very creepy and the ending is just great.
The story is all …
Goodfellas
Goodfellas is a very funny yet violent movie. I think the humor in it was just great. This is a mobster movie, and Joe Pesci is of course in it. Joe Pesci was great and did a good job of acting in the movie. Overall the cast was really good …
Click
I actually enjoyed this movie. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it but I remember it. I love Adam Sandler. In this movie he gets a remote and uses that remote to get ahead. There are some twists which I won’t give away. It is an enjoyable movie for …
Way of War
OK, I’ve always thought Cuba Gooding Jr. was much better in comedies than dramas (with a few exceptions). But, the movie Way of War does more than prove me right about that.
This movie, which casts Gooding as a special operations assassin, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I think they …
National Lampoon’s Animal House movie
A film by John Landis about the rivalry between two college houses. An intense, crazy comedy that doesn’t leave a moment for the audience to take a breath. I have a taste for films that uses the theme of college and high school, but this one didn’t really engage …
The Phantom Carriage movie
The most famous and successful film by swedish silent master filmmaker Victor Seastrom depicts a novel by nobel prize winner Selma Lagerlof, about an alcoholic getting picked up by the ghost who drives The Phantom Carriage to the land of the dead. The alcoholic - played by Seastrom himself …
The Golden Compass movie
I watched ‘The Golden Compass’ last night the movie felt rather long, and I was entertained from the start, I was a bit thrown off by all the children in the movie, but it was an enjoyable film, I would say its “Family safe” just a bit of rude humor, …
Poseidon movie
It took me almost forever to get around to watching Poseidon even though it’s already been re-made and the original has been on the video store shelves for some time. It’s no Titanic, but it is still an interesting movie about people who try to survive a sinking ship.
I …

The Game Plan
I am definitely convinced that The Rock could really act in comedy movies. One of the proofs for that? The movie, The Game Plan. This is indeed a good feel movie story to watch, especially if you did catch it in the cinemas before with your whole …
Applause Videos in Vancouver, Canada

Dogtooth (2009 film)
“Dogtooth” is a masterpiece of the weird. This Greek art house film, a winner at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009, simply kept me glued to the screen for about one hour and a half and left me with a million questions.
I found the atmosphere of the film …
Allsubs.org
I was so troubled being able to download a movie I cannot understand at all! I heard it was such a good movie with good reviews and ratings but the subs are just not available. There were subs in Japanese but I needed English that I can understand. I …

The Social Network (2010 film)
Now that the Oscars is approaching, I suddenly felt the need to catch up on seeing some of the nominated titles I haven’t seen yet; I was merely checking out some of the academy’s picks, I’ve seen one or two previously, and “The Social Network” was next on my …
What Just Happened film
“What Just Happened” is what I like to call a sleeper film. Much like fantasy football there are sleeper picks which are people that perform much better then thought. This film is the definition of that. “What Just Happened” didn’t have much promotion, actually I …
Incredibles,movie
The best CGI movie to-date. What else can be said? This film is a most see for both adults and children. A true family hit. You cannot go wrong renting or buyng it. The Incredibles will is the greatest true action movie to hit the screen. If you haven’t …
House of Fears
OK, I have to admit that House of Fears makes me go all creepy. However, the movie is kind of dark and it’s quite irritating to say. I wish that most haunted movies would be clearer and not having a dark effect.
I am not really sure …
Death Note anime
I am not a big fan of anime and Death Note was one of the first that I have watched. Though I have heard some of my die-hard anime fanatic friends going gaga over this, I still am not that keen on watching it. But I was glad I …
Evidence of Blood movie
Evidence of Blood came out in 1998 and like the true, old south, it moves slowly. No, it doesn’t move, it crawls. Everything is told in a deliberate, snail-like drawl that is agonizingly slow. I’m all for murder mysteries, but I need something to keep me …
Prince of Persia (2010)
When I told people I would be going to see Prince of Persia in theaters, they always accused me of going to see it just to watch a muscular bodied, cute faced Jake Gyllenhaal on a huge screen. I would defend myself by saying that I had actually played …
Skyfall (action movie)
I stopped being a James Bond fan years ago, and honestly, I can’t even remember why. This is why I ended up missing Casino Royale. Nevertheless, after I decided to try watching Skyfall recently, I enjoyed it so much, that I’m actually eagerly awaiting the release of the next James …
