“Ice Twisters” the movie 2009
Just from reading the synopsis on Netflix, Ice Twisters looked as if it was going to be a lower budget copy-cat disaster movie with a weather theme. That’s exactly what it was. But, to be fair, it was enjoyable, more so than I would have expected. When the film …
Never Been Kissed
Never Been Kissed is a pretty good movie. I really liked it. It shows how love can still really be found in this world. I think that Drew barrymore did a very good job of acting. Her acting was just so magical. I really liked the plot and the story …
Captivity film
Elisha Cuthbert, Daniel Gillies
MA 15+ Strong violence, blood and gore.
I should have known that this film was going to turn my stomach. I’m not the blood and gore kind of girl but I am a Roland Joffe (director of the Killing Fields) fan.
First let me say that the rating …
Monster in the Closet movie
A combination between comedy and horror in which the police find themselves helpless against a strange monster that hides in the closet and kills people for no reason. A professor and a biology teacher takes on the mission of destroying the monster.
This film is a so-called Troma movie, which …
Blind Dating movie
Chris Pine starrer movie ‘Blind Dating’ is a boring romantic comedy movie. Chris Pine plays a blind guy in the movie and the name of his character is Danny. He is blind by birth and his problem can’t be cured by any medical procedure and he is used …
Lucy (science fiction movie)
When I first saw the trailer for Lucy, I just knew that I had to see it. It seemed to have a similar premise to the movie Limitless, and not to mention I’ve been a fan of the actress Scarlett Johansson for the longest while. However, as it got closer …
Picture Perfect
I admit that “Picture Perfect” is one of my favourite Jennifer Aniston movies. This movie is very different from the typical romantic movie as it has a very original story. The main actors, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Bacon and Jay Mohr interpret their role in an exception manner.
“Picture Perfect” is …
Night at the Museum
‘Night at the Museum’ directed by Shawn Levy has very peculiar story which interests my a strange manner. In general, it is movie which kids will enjoy more. But, that does not mean that it does not deserve adult viewers. Ben Stiller, playing the lead role has acted to …
The Passion of the Christ
The Passion of the Christ made me cry buckets of tears. I’m a devout Catholic but only after seeing this movie did I truly come to realize God’s love for us (He gave his only son to save us from our sins). Directed by Mel Gibson, this controversial and …
Diary of the Dead, horror film
George A. Romero is known for his Dead series. When Romero has nobody pressuring him with his films the finished product is usually amazing. With nobody breathing down his neck with his fifth Dead movie will long time fans find a reason to adventure with the living dead again? …
FUN WITH DICK AND JANE MOVIE
That movie was hilarious. It is basically about a guy that finds himself without a job and can’t seem to find any other job because of the way he left hs last job. Desperate times call for desperate measures. They decide to do the unthinkable for …
The Illusionist movie
I watched this movie today. It was very entertaining to watch. It’s unique, different from most movies. It brings something different to the screen. I liked all of the actors in it and they did a very good job playing their roles. I was entertained and interested in the …
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.
The …
Days of being wild movie
The chinese director Wong Kar-Wai is my absolute favorite to appear during the last 20 years. Days of being wild is only his second film ever, made in the early 1990s, but already here he showed his amazing talent with an entirely unique way of putting images together and …
The Game Plan Movie
Dwayne Johnson is hot. There is no doubt about it. And it gets even better seeing him star opposite a little girl star Madison Pettis. This is about a famous foot ball player who doesn’t know that he has a daughter, and the girl shows up on his doorstep. …
Alice in Wonderland Movie
Imagine yourself walking through a fantasyland, replete with chain-smoking caterpillars, hilarious lunatics and mysterious Cheshire cats. You’re dropped down a rabbit hole, taken away from everything you know, meet up wild and insane characters. This new world has a lot of new rules, and is a little …
Semi-Pro
I don’t know if this movie was supposed to be funny or not but I just didn’t really enjoy it. It’s about a struggling basketball team and Will Farrel is the coach that has to try and bring it up out of its slump. It was kind of a …
Davincci code/movie
When I read Dan Brown’s novel The Davincci Code a couple of months ago, I couldn’t wait for the movie to come out.
Now that I’ve seen the movie, I kind of wish I hadn’t.
Overall, it wasn’t bad. But, I just felt very unsatisfied watching it. In fact, at times …
Movie Untraceable
I am reviewing the 2008 movie, Untraceable, starring Diane Lane and Colin Hanks. So there is this killer. He has a site called kill with me. He traps people and then sets up scenarios to kill them. He tapes everything and puts it online. The more people who …
Gidget Goes Hawaiian movie
Two years after Sandra Dee captured the world as the girl midget known as Gidget, the character was back in Gidget Goes Hawaiian. Now honestly, this one is probably my favorite. There’s something about the storyline that I really loved. I don’t know if technically it’s …
House of Wax
House of Wax is a horror movie starring Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, Brian Van Holt and Paris Hilton. The movie is a remake of an old movie with the same title. The movie has the same plot of any horror movie where a group of friends go to …
Stormbreaker movie
The best way to describe this movie is a modern time Indiana Jones teen movie. This film is based on the famous book of Anthony Horowitz but there seems to be a bit of a difference between the book and the movie version.
What I found interesting in this movie …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
The film was absolutely fabulous. I was worried, I won’t lie, that Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) would not have the acting chops to do this movie given that he’s had so little screen time in the past. I was worried that the “please” on top of the …
The Lost Boys movie
A horror film by Joel Schumacher about a company of young vampires on motorcycles who attack a young man and his brother. It has reached cult reputation by some people who grew up in the 1980s when it came it, but personally I just found it a very long …
The Ugly Truth movie
I’ve recently watched The Ugly Truth on DVD yesterday with my boyfriend. When it was out in the cinema, I was really excited to watch it but I never got to because I was so busy with stuff in school and the fact that I’m saving up my allowance. …
“Profoundly Normal” (2003 Lifetime Movie Film)
This 2003 Lifetime Movie Newtwork film “Profoundly Normal”, starring Kirstie Alley and Delroy Lindo was really a movie that can touch the hearts of many people. I was unsure of what type of film this would be. But within the first few minutes of the film I realized what …
High Society movie
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen High Society, but the opportunity presented itself again recently, so I gave it a watch. Overall, it’s just a cute and bubbly movie with Grace Kelly putting on airs and Bing Crosby as the down the earth pal who just …
My Side of the Mountain movie
Based on Jean Craighead George classic childrens book about wilderness survival, My Side of the Mountain follows the adventures of a boy named Sam (Ted Eccles). Sam lives in the city, changed to Toronto for the film, and yearns to live alongside nature as his hero Thoreau. One day …
That Touch of Mink movie
From 1962, That Touch of Mink pairs Doris Day with the debonair Cary Grant. For me, this has always been somewhat of an odd couple, but it made for a good motion picture, never the less. There certainly are a lot of reasons to enjoy this entertaining …
“Thor: The Dark World” movie
Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …
300: Rise of an Empire, movie
My Husband and I liked and own the first 300 movie (called The 300). For those who have never seen it, it tells the tale of the battle of 300 lone Spartan soldiers against a huge army and the powerful Xerxes. We watch the original 300 fairly frequently and …
The Snows of Kilimanjaro movie
The Snows of Kilimanjaro is a rather well known motion picture from 1952 that starred Gregory Peck as Harry Street, Susan Hayward as Helen, and Ava Gardner as Cynthia Green. Also in the film is The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’s Leo G. Carroll as Uncle Bill. I actually …

James Bond - Lots of Quantum, No Solace
I am extremely disappointed! To the point of almost tears… So i finally got a chance to go see the latest Bond film, the Quantum of Solace…and Daniel Craig has managed to, single handedly, make me scream in agony.
I definately agree witih sir Roger Moore …
Slumdog Millionaire movie
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 low-budgeted film about an Indian orphan who dreamed big and search his destiny. This movie dominated the Oscar awards 2009 and because of that I was very intrigued why such low-budgeted/Indian-inspired film successfully captured the Academy judges.
I finally had the time to watch this …
Movie Summer Magic

Husbands and Wives (1992) Woody Allen Movie
I would give Woody Allen’s ‘Husbands and Wives’ ten out of ten for being completely perfect, but you will hate it if you have to have a Hollywood ending. This is kind of awkward viewing. It has a rather serious, dramatic feel to it and the humour …
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 …
Knocked Up
Another R-rated flick with the title setting the tone and giving the potential viewer a pretty good idea of what to expect. A one night stand results into pregnancy; the girl, Alison, decides to keep the baby despite it threatening her career and despite her mother’s advice to have …
Movie Rat Race
I got home from work last night and wanted to watch something a bit different from the shows I normally watch. Fortunately for me, I came across the movie Rat Race on one of our movie channels.
I have seen this movie a half dozen times now at least and …

The Bucket List
I cried when I watched The Bucket List before. It starred Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson and it saddened me to know that these 2 characters are facing death since they are terminated with cancer.
And due to that, they have a chance to obtain a friendship of a lifetime …
Happy Feet Movie
This may seem weird but I watched this movie as a phone date with my boyfriend. We both put the DVD in the DVD player at the same time and pressed play and watched it with each other over the phone. I love movies about penguins so I knew …
The Wackiest Ship in the Army
From 1960, The Wackiest Ship in the Army is absolutely terrific to watch. It’s a movie I’ve seen more times than I can count and it’s one I always enjoy. It’s lighthearted drama that deals with Navy action in World War II. Right off the bat, …
