Grumpier Old Men

Norbit (movie)
Norbit was the most funniest movie ever. The main character Eddie Murphy who played several of the characters in the movie did an awesome job in this one. He played an orphan that was abandon by his parents at birth and was drop off at someone’s door. He was …
Cry Wolf Movie
A predictable horror story for kids who don’t read good books and therefore have poor taste, easily satisfied with some action & easy scares. A body is found near a school, and a bunch of high-schoolers decide to pull a prank by creating an online serial killer personality. They …
Orphan movie
Orphan was released July 24th 2009. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. If you haven’t seen it yet you are not missing too much so don’t fret. This movie tried hard to come across as a horror/thriller type movie. In reality it was neither. It was more like a …

The Resident movie
If you review the list of films in recent years you will notice that more or less everything you see on the screen today is a remake of something that was filmed a few years ago.
There are few films that really discuss a new idea or shed light on …
Girls from St. Trinians movie
St. Trinian’s is a “legendary” school for girls that is nothing like any other school you’ve ever seen. The Headmistress (played by brilliant actor Rupert Everett) will not comment on students throwing each other over the balcony, but she will yell to tuck their shirts in. Chemistry is all …
Just My Luck, Donald Petrie Movie
Ashley Albright, girls that work on a public relations house is always full lucky indeed. Starting from her job to the romance problem. Unlike the case with Jake Hardin, a young man working as a janitor at a bowling club is always even over the steady cook, but is …

The Devil Wears Prada
I typically like Anne Hathaway’s movies but the Devil Wears Prada just didn’t do anything for me.
Hathaway plays an up and coming journalism student who takes an internship at a fashion magazine and finds herself going from social outcast to the favorite of her boss (played by Meryl Streep). …

Into the Wild (R, 2007) movie
This was one of the most touching films I have ever seen. But I will admit that while watching most of it, I thought: “Is this guy a dumb azz?” I am only saying this because despite his contempt for materialism, he seemed completely unprepared for …

The Cabin in the Woods (2012 film)
Just hours ago I watched The Cabin in the Woods with my sister who entreated for my company. I obliged to go see the movie because of the things I had read in highbrow film periodicals that made me curious. I probably would have viewed a different …
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
I know at my age it would sound ridiculous but I really like this movie. I wanted to believe even just for two hours that I could go to a place like this. Where in I could walk around both indoor and outdoor and all I can …
Once Upon a Time in Mexico movie
Robert Rodriguez returns with a sequel to his classic low budget film El Mariachi, but unfortunately this time without the same energetic visual style. The story is a very complex thing with corrupt CIA agents, drug dealers and assassins, but that is not what bothers me. Rodriguez have proved …
The Old Curiosity Shop Movie
The Old Curiosity Shop, 1995, mini-series, is a good adaptation of the novel by Charles Dickens. Peter Ustinov plays Grandfather, a poor old man who is raising his beloved granddaughter Nell and trying to make her fortune by gambling. Peter Ustinov may be a little too heavy for the …
Seventh Son, Movie
Boasting an impressive cast, and based on the book, A Spook’s Apprentice by Joseph Delaney, there were high hopes amongst many for this film. Early trailers showed some promise, but the delays in production, followed by a weak showing at the box office, hint at the real quality, or lack …
Get Shorty
WHen I saw the movie “Be Cool” come out in 2005, I had a hard time understanding it even though it was only bits and pieces at different times that I watched. Thus, when I heard that it was actually a sequel to the movie “Get Shorty” which I …
Pathology movie
I was really eager to watch this movie because of its plot but after a few minutes or so in this movie, I kind of feel unsatisfied and disgruntled.

The Mummy:Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
I love watching movies, especially ones with super effects in them. The Mummy, the first and the second were one of them. So I couldn’t wait to see the third indeed. So I got to see the movie two days ago at the local movie. …
Rush Hour 3
It lives up to the name of rush hour and rush hour 2. If you watched the first two and liked them you will like this one. It’s a great comedy. They are both hilarious in the movie yet once again. It’s also not just a couple of funny …
Ice Age -Movie One in the Trilogy
I watched this movie a long time ago and then again recently; I recall then thinking that it was childish -which I suppose is good because it’s mostly a kid’s movie but I had hoped it would entertain me too- and that I would not care so much …
Saw 3
Saw 3 is a horror movie. There is a two movies before this: Saw and Saw 2. All of them are unpredictable when it’s going to end.

Armageddon
Man, how much cooler can you get? The 1999 movie, Armageddon, is one of my all time favorites. I love Bruce Willis. And for once, he’s not really in his Die Hard McClane character. He’s still a tough as nails oil driller named Harry Stamper who is charged with …
The movie Twilight part one
The first Twilight movie sucked big time and there are so many reasons as to why this movie was just plain awful and the first reason would be the actors, because the actors who played ion Twilight really did a very bad job and didn’t bring any of the …

Anchor Man The Legend of Ron Burgundy
I have to say Anchor Man is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. I think this movie was very good and the main star Will Ferrel did a awesome job in the film. Will Ferrel played the part of Ron Burgandy and was very …
Stargate
Since the dawn of movie making, there have always been a few actors that take weird, off the wall, ecentric roles instead of traditional leading men or leading lady roles. Such is true with current Boston Legal actor, James Spader. He appeared in a great 1994 film called Stargate …
Marley & Me Movie 2008
I adored this film - Marley and Me - but I suspect that has a lot to do with the fact that I do love dogs. Marley is a Labrador owned by John and Jennifer (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) and the movie covers their life with Marley …
Everest movie
It was a really fascinating and breathtaking experience watching the movie Everest on Imax. I watched it a few days back with a couple of old school friends, and two of us got teary eyed on some scenes of the movie. This is a very moving, inspiring …
Beowulf
When I first saw the previews for this movie I was not excited at ALL. I thought there was no way this could be a good movie. The animation looked really awkward from what I could tell and I also thought that 3-D went out of style …
Get Him to the Greek (movie)
I was never a fan of the actor and comedian Russell Brand, and always wondered what other people saw in him, because I just never thought that he was as hilarious as some people would make him out to be. However, after watching him play a cunning drug addict …

Dead Like Me DVD Set
The first disk of the Dead Like Me DVD set contains the pilot plus a lot of special features. There were a number of deleted scenes, something that I always love to see. My one complaint is that there were four screens of these deleted scenes and …
Hours (thriller movie)
“Hours” is set in New Orleans, during the August 2005 hurricane Katrina. Once again, Paul Walker, our capable and very likeable action idol, delights his audience with another one of his absorbing thrillers. This time he personifies a rousing image of paternalistic dedication.
We first meet Nolan Hayes, characterised by …

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 …
Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is one of those movies that people either love or don’t care for at all. I’m definitely one of the former people, which explains why I now own three copies of the movie on DVD. When I was looking through the racks of a local store and …
