I watched Perfect Nanny the other day on Lifetime movie network. They had a event going on called “the perfect sunday”. The main actress in this movie did a wonderful job, I think she played her part very well. She did an amazing job playing the “crazy nanny”. This …

Four Brothers
“Four Brothers” is an interesting movie with a good story to tell however I feel that the script lacks that extra something to make it gripping. This is one of Mark Wahlberg’s movie were although his interpretation was good, it failed to be as great as other interesting roles …
The Rum Diary (2011 film)
This turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment. As a fan of Hunter S. Thompson, upon whose 1961 novel this film is based, and the movie’s lead, Johnny Depp, I was expecting something far zanier and more entertaining (the obvious touchstone being 1998’s “Fear and Loathing in Las …

Looney Tunes Back in Action
Normally, if there’s a movie that features cartoon characters talking to real actors, I’m not a huge fan.
Not that movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam didn’t have their moments; they just were a bit too corny for my tastes.
Looney Tunes Back in Action still fits that …
Thr3e movie
Have any of you heard that a movie is out based on Ted Dekker’s Christian novel “Thr3e”? I didn’t think so. For some reason, Christian movies aren’t advertised wide enough, and this new 2007 release by FoxFaith is no exception. Besides, it was only played in some theaters, and …
Something’s Gotta Give (2003)
I have seen it with my own eyes and on the screen as well, where older men make it their mission to date younger women, and in that light, the impressionable young woman take the ‘maturity’ of these older men and use it as a measuring stick against all …
The A-Team movie
The word of the day was skeptical. That’s how I felt about the 2010 theatrical film, The A-Team. Based on the TV series that starred the late George Peppard, Dirk Benedict, Dwight Schultz, and Mr. T, I was certain I’d hate this movie. It’s not that …
Mulberry Street Movie
Mulberry Street is one of those movies that is trying to make a statement on current society, but fails. At least that’s how I viewed the movie. I also noticed that the director seemed to take some inspiration from Night Of The Living Dead. At one point I even …
Interview with the vampire
I loved this film, it’s one of my all time favourites.
I’m a big fan of Anne Rice and it’s so rare to like the movie version of a book but this film could not be any more perfect.
I thought they captured the darkness of her books wonderfully. They managed …

Twilight (PG-13, 2008)
I was at first apprehensive about seeing this movie. Typically, when there is a lot of hype surrounding a film, or it seems that mostly pre-pubescent girls are interested in the movie, I find that the movie is much cornier than I’d like. But in this case, …
Edmond (R, 2005)
Edmond is the type of movie that you watch when you really want to dive into something that will make you think. The premise of the film is quite simple. A married man with kids decides one day that he will leave his family behind. He …

Death Proof
I loved Pulp Fiction, I loved Kill Bill, and I love grindhouse films. I hate Death Proof. I like what Quentin Tarantino was aiming for while making the movie; capturing all of the classic grindhouse car chase scenes, hot girls, and fighting, but overall, it could have been so …

Miracle movie
In another review for the made-for-TV movie, “Miracle on Ice”, I said I don’t like hockey, and the truth is that I don’t. Yet, over a decade later, I still love the story of the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team and how they marched their way towards gold, …
9 ½ Weeks (1986)

The Mist by Stephen King (R, 2007)

‘Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones’ movie
After the fourth movie, I was convinced that the “Paranormal Activity” franchise was dead. I liked the first two, but after that, the formula wore thin and they didn’t have anything new to bring to the table.
Enter this “spin-off” that follows another family as they are …

House of Wax movie
Not the one to come out earlier this year, but the original 1950s movie with Vincent Price. I believe it was the first film shot in 3D tecnique, but of course that loses its effect if you don’t watch it with 3D-glasses at the theatre, which I didn’t do.
