The movie the bounty hunter
I thought that the movie The bounty hunter had all the makings of a good film. It had an interesting storyline and a few good actors Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler. However it did not come together. Most of the time I felt like the actors were looking at …
The Incredibles
The Incredibles.
This is the first Super Heroes’ film I have ever seen, that has a focus on a family.
This is very positive, as our children can see and extract from the film, the idea of na united family, solving their problems always joined.
The story runs in Metroville, a place …

The X-Flies: I Want to Believe
I enjoyed The X-Files: I Want to Believe more than any of the X-Files television series I watched. I was happy to see the characters Dana Scully, Fox Mulder and Assistant Director Walter Skinner being played by the original cast. I think it takes a lot away from the …

Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother
This is a tough one. Bright cast, and comedy done in the style of Mel Brooks’ comedy, prevalent during the 70s, this film showed great promise. But for me, while quaint, this film did not deliver on it’s character expectations.
The story centers around Segerson Holmes, jealous older brother of …

Ouija, Horror Movie (2014)
Despite the pre-release hype, Ouija didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s intended to be a horror movie but it’s weakened by a terrible cast and paltry directing. The screenplay of the movie is decent but it wasn’t utilized properly. As a horror movie, ‘Ouija’ completely fails. It wasn’t enjoyable …
Hairspray movie
I saw the original version of Hairspray with Ricki Lake on it. It made her a star. So when I found out that it was going to have a remake, I was very excited and saw it again. For me, the new Hairspray is way better than the original. …
“Friday the 13th part 6″ movie
I’ve been making my way through the “Friday the 13th” film series. It is one of the iconic horror/slasher franchises out there and I hadn’t seen it yet. Since I’ve been on a bit of a horror kick lately, I figured that now was as good a …
She’s The Man
My friend often talks abut how good this movie is but it took a little while before I saw the movie myself. At first, I thought that it was just one of those flirty high school movies because at the start of the film it was more of those …
Wanted
I thought one of the best films of 2008 was the action and adventure film “Wanted”. My brother was determined that he would see it in theatres and he did not stop talking about it for a whole two weeks afterward and encouraging me to see it. However, once …

The day that I saw the trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, I told my husband that we were going the day it came out. I loved Alice when I was a little girl, and I was excited to see how Tim Burton would make the story now …
Mulberry Street, horror film
We’ve all seen millions of zombie movies. Zombie movies are flooding the horror genre. Either original ones come out or terrible remakes. The director Jim Mickle went with a different approach with his plague movie. Instead of zombies taking over a city we have disease carrying rats!
Former boxer …

Constantine
The movie “Constantine” was actually a movie based upon a comic book called “Hellblazer” the only thing was at the time I saw the movie advertising to be released in theatres, I thought it looked familiar but I didn’t relate it to that same comic. At the time I …
Elizabethtown the movie
Orlando Bloom may be a great character actor and eye candy for women every where but, as a leading actor, he leaves a lot to be desired.
The movie Elizabethtown had great intentions and could have been a great love story. But, in my opinion, it fell flat. Kirsten Dunst …
Jingle All the Way
Christmas is just around the corner and the television networks are getting a jump start on the season by playing plenty of holiday movies. I came across one the other day I haven’t seen in a while; Jingle All the Way.
This one was actually about as funny as I …
Jarhead movie
It’s not often that I will find a movie so horrible I have to turn it off before I even get halfway through it. This is especially true of war movies. However, Jarhead became one of those films.
When I read the description of the movie and saw the previews, …

Focus - Romantic Comedy Movie (2015)
‘Focus’ is a romantic comedy with lots of twists and turns that make the movie enjoyable to watch. Starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, this movie at times plays out like an action film or thriller and definitely had my attention throughout. The screenplay could’ve been executed a little better …
Chicago the movie
Winner of six Academy Awards, this Rob Marshall masterpiece is just that, a masterpiece. At the height of Chicago’s jazz world, and all that goes with it, crime has become an art-form, or so says the slick Billy Flinn (Richard Gere). Crime has become sensationalized, and murder is no …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, movie
Like many others who watched and re-watched the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy multiple times, I had high hopes for “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.” But, after sitting through the film, I was left very disappointed.
First of all, the film was too long. Now, I understand that “The Hobbit” …
Friends with Benefits 2011 Movie
Just saw the movie Friends with Benefits. This movie stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The movie is about, well, having a friend and having intimate relationships without any commitments whatsoever.
This is not a perverted movie, but I guess in reality this does happen. Mila Kunis (Jamie) works as …
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
One of my favorite Christmas movies is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. It is on TV every year, and I remember watching it even as a kid. Now I have the unedited DVD, which I enjoyed watching this year. This movie is definitely a classic Christmas movie. …
Abbott & Costello Meet the Invisible Man
I like Abbott & Costello movies, even though they do get repetitive after a while. And, suprisingly, I’ve never seen the film Abbott & Costello Meet the Invisible Man; until last night that is.
As far as their movies are concerned, this one wouldn’t be among their best. However, it …
Man of Tai Chi (2013) - Movie
Keanu Reeves directed Man of Tai Chi and also starred as Donaka Mark, an evil underground fight club owner. Tiger Hu Chen played Chen Lin Hu, a Tai Chi student that goes by the name of Tiger. You can already see where this is going, right? Surprisingly, no teachers …
Gwoemul
Well, we all know that disposing of toxic chemicals into major water supplies is bad, right kiddies? Not so in this story, which leads to some largely predictable consequences.
When an employee in a top-secret military facility dumps a load of formaldehyde and other chemical nasties down the drain, a …

Kojak: Flowers for Matty movie
I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …
Kung Fu Panda
Kung Fu Panda is a movie about a panda (no surprises there) named Po who aspires to become a kung fu warrior.
Not surprisingly enough, the new blockbuster from DreamWorks, was an enormous sucess. The usual deal from DreamWorks, high quality animation (great details), funky characters, occational gags… …
Thinking XXX (NR, 2004) documentary
One might think that documentaries about sexually explicit topics will be full of juicy material. I found this one downright boring. While it was interesting to see porn stars (like Tera Patrick) actually taking part in interviews, some of the dialogue and things they were talking about …
Sense and Sensibility Movie
Sense and Sensibility, 1995, starring Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson is a very good adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic. When their father dies, the Dashwood family is left with very little means to live on. The house and everything in it is inherited by Mr. Dashwood’s son John from …
Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang Movie
This was the second installment of the movie Nanny McPhee. It was another comedy and fun movie for kids and kids at heart because of the magical and wit touch of the movie.
Surely Emma Thompson was just the same character as she was in the first sequel of the …

Taintlight, spoof horror film
I’ve watched movies on mass suicide, rape, people eating shit, and about a dozen more sick things. Nothing and I mean nothing could have prepared me for this movie that I decided to watch. Taintlight. Yes Taintlight, a movie that decided to tear apart the first Twilight movie a …
Bucket List
I work in a hospital so more or less I am inclined to the joys and sadness of the hospital life. When I bought a DVD for Bucket List I wasn’t able to watch it right there and then but my brother who was able to see it said …
Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) movie
I have been able to see almost every new movie being shown in cinemas right now because of the 1 year off I have gifted myself. And so far, I will rate Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) as the most promising in terms of acting, story, excitement, and well, …
Monkey business movie
A not so well known film with the fabulous Marx brothers. This time they hide on board a luxury boat as free passengers, and the misunderstandings quickly start to grow.
What is interesting about these brothers are the roles divided. Groucho is the verbal part, and in courting to many …
Pirates 3: At World’s End
I am reviewing the third installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, called At World’s End. Okay, so the first movie was fantastic. The second movie was good. The third…terrible. What were those writers thinking? I am a huge Pirates of the Caribbean fan, but I …

A pilot’s wife movie
I watched “The pilot’s wife” today on lifetime movie network. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It could have been better but overall it was pretty good. I would recommend watching it, but if you have a better movie then I would watch that instead. This girl who …

I don’t watch TV much, but I do love a good movie. I decided to treat myself and sign up for the BlockBuster online service. They promised many perks and it sounded simple and convenient. Their website was straight forward and very user friendly. I was allowed to order …
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
When I come to think of it, there was such a long wait involved before I finally achieved closure on the Star Wars story. Just imagine waiting for a decade before I finally found out what was going on. Maybe if I read some books about the …
