“8 Mile” (2002 Film)
While Eminem and Brittney Murphy, along with Mikai Phiffer are very talented, I have to wonder if the movie they starred in, “8 Mile” which was featured in theaters in 2002, was really a film worth watching. The film itself I believe was trying to do something positive …
Movie Cars
I love the Pixar movie Cars, as does my almost three year old daughter. Cars is my second favorite movie in the Pixar lineup, behind only the Incredibles. I’m still trying to figure out where to put Wall-E in the list.
What’s there not to love about Cars? …
Star Trek: Generations (1994)
“Star Trek: Generations” is, in my opinion, the best of the Star Trek movies. I love the way it blended the cast of the original series with that of Star Trek: The Next Generation, even though they were 78 years apart in time. The way they did this was …
The Avengers movie
In a somehow original yet cliche kind of way, The Avengers is one of the best movies of the year and easily the most entertaining. However this action thriller does not come out perfectly, a lot of small flaws make this only a good action movie and not a …
Bridesmaids (movie)
One fairly interesting movie that I watched in the early part of 2012 was the movie Bridesmaids. It starred a quite a few of Saturday Night Live’s most recent cast including one of my favourites who has been in other movies that I like, Maya Rudolf. I’m not the …

The Price of Milk movie
I am reviewing the New Zealond film, The Price of Milk, starring Danielle Cormack and Karl Urban as Lucinda and Rob. This film was made in 2000, and was written and produced by Harry Sinclair.
This movie is a romance/fantasy flick about a farmer, his girlfriend, and the magic …
Gulliver’s Travels (2010 Film)
Jack Black is one of those actors who I can’t seem to not laugh at. He is just funny to me, his facial expressions, his voice changes, his general presence in films and responses to other elements and actors in films leaves me breathless with laughter. And while I …
The Simpsons Movie
The Simpsons Movie is the best movie of the summer so far. It is full of hilarious scenes that will keep you laughing to the very end. As usual, Homer is an idiot, and Bart is a bad influence for children. Over all the antics in …
Movie Flight of Phoenix

Movie: Backwoods

The Other Boleyn Girl movie
I have not read the novel by Philippa Gregory, but I really enjoyed this movie, in spite of reading so much criticism. It was beyond my expectation. I usually avoid watching epic film but there was something engrossing about “The Other Boleyn Girl”, that left me seated till the …

Transporter 3
I must say that the —˜Transporter’ films are my favourite Jason Statham’s movies together with ‘The Bank Job’. I believe that with ‘Transporter 3′ the director, Olivier Megaton and writers, Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen managed to put together the right ingredients that made this movie series so …
The Nannies Diary
The actress, Scarlett Johansson is simply great in the role of the nanny Annie Braddock. I would have no problems leaving my two year old daughter with her, if she is in search for a full time nanny job which I doubt it!
“The Nannies Diary” is the story of …
House at the End of the Street (thriller movie)
A movie that I surprisingly didn’t mind was “House at the End of the Street”. It was one of those movies that was released slightly after she had become the next big thing in Hollywood. However, I was almost sure that it was going to be very unsuccessful due to …
Eva Nera (1976) movie
One of my friends likes watching old movies, like some of those from the seventies for example, and recently I decided to watch a few of them. The movie Eva Nera was one of them. I first thought it was going to be an action movie named Black Cobra, …
Transformers (2007)
Amazing! Right from the start this movie has you hooked. There is nothing that I can say “bad” about the “Transformers” movie.

Wow…this movie is just great! With Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles as main actor/actress, a great script (come on! the storyline is based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of The Shrew!) nothing could go wrong, and nothing did went wrong!
Of course, this movie is much more suitable for gals - …
Watchmen (2009)
A surprising and good film, the Watchmen was an adequately well done action film. A bit too cerebral at times, but very well directed. Based on the famous comic (graphic novel) by Alan Moore. The movie did a good job of transferring most of the depth …
Underworld (2003)
When I first picked this movie up, I thought it sounded interesting as it was about a relationship between a vampire and a werewolf (supposedly the two were in love). However it disappointed me almost right away. The opening sequence of this film is nothing but mindless action and …
Elle (2016 Foreign Film)
I am actually surprised at my film choices this year. I am now definitely heading to the real “film buff” road. Last night I choose to watch yet another foreign film that premiered this year called “Elle”. I wouldn’t have dared to watch this film had been there no buzz …

Notorious (Movie)
There are four reasons I love Notorious. First, because it’s an Alfred Hitchcock film. I think he was the best classic movie director. The next three reasons are the stars of the movie, Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains. Rains was the supporting actor, …

Signs movie
I know many people didn’t like “Signs”. I think that is because they came into the movie with the wrong expectations. As a science fiction movie “Signs” is average. The aliens don’t make very much sense; there is no explanation of their motivation. The special effects are simple to …
Step Up movie
Step Up: yes please do. Step up the acting, step up the writing, step up the score. Above all, step up the dancing. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie, and I like cheesy dance movies. The lighting was incredibly unflattering throughout the entire running, the acting was …
