The Lady Vanishes movie
One of my favorite Hitchcock films from his time in England. An old lady disappears while travelling in Switzerland, and when this is noticed by two of the passengers a most hideous plot is revealed little by little to a most unexpected end.
One of the first brilliant examples of …
We All Scream for Ice Cream Movie
We All Scream for Ice Cream is easily one of the oddest movies in the Masters of Horror series. This one stars William Forsythe as a clown who drives an ice cream truck. If you think that he is the one who is torturing people, you’d only be partly …
The Titanic (Movie)
This was a good movie that I love very much to watch when it first came out. I love the storyline between the two lovers, a poor American guy and his rich girlfriend, and how even though they only met for a short time in the ship, their love …
Detachment (drama movie)
The film Detachment is a little different from the dramas that I’m used to watching, and this is why I liked it so much. It is its raw and gritty nature that attracts me to it, and the fact that it does nothing to conceal certain elements that are bordering …
Grandview USA movie
1984’s Grandview USA stars Patrick Swayze and Jamie Lee Curtis as high school friends who discover love many years later. Surprisingly, Swayze and Curtis do well together. It’s not a pair I would normally think of, but they work for the way in which their characters are …
There’s Something About Mary, comedy film
There’s Something About Mary is one of those movies that has influenced most of today’s modern comedy movies. This movie might have been one of the first biggest R-rated comedies, it was popular every where. With the popularity of blu-ray growing each week it made sense to release this …
Jason Goes to Hell (Unrated Version)
The unrated version of Jason Goes to Hell is marginally better than the rated version, but that isn’t saying a whole lot. The movie still suffers from some plot problems, and some bad acting. After watching either version you will most likely end up feeling sorry for poor Erin …
The Omnimax Theater
Although I feel you might be able to add “four dimensional” components such as motion and interaction with live objects simultaneous with the viewing of the film, the Omnimax provides what I consider the bets visual and audio experience possible.
I’ll get the sound out of the way because it …
Mai Otome anime series
Mai Otome is a 26-episode anime series. Another name for this anime is Mai-Z-Hime. This anime takes place in an alternate universe to another anime called “Mai-Hime”. Many characters that appeared in Mai Otome are actually from Mai-Hime but with different personalities, roles, and sometimes age and form.
This show …
Walk the Line
Walk the Line with Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon.
Why make a movie based upon the rotten life of Johnny Cash? Another entertainer corrupted by rapid success hits rock bottom and then pulls out a turnaround is no big deal. Cash with his …
Go movie
I didn’t hear about the movie “Go” until some time ago when I was still in high school. At first I thought it was just going to be a silly movie so I didn;t watch it at the time, but about a year and a half later I was …
Edge of Tomorrow (movie)
It took me three tries to watch this movie. I gave up on it the first two times because I was tired and irritated and didn’t have the patience to wait for it to get to the point. On the third time however, when I wasn’t feeling so tired I …
Movie Two for the money
The main ingredients for the movie “Two for the Money” are a great script and a trio of talented actors such as Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey and Rene Russo. I was prepared to see Al Pacino do an excellent acting job, however I was very impressed by McConaughey and …
Chloe Movie (2009)
Chloe is brilliant and enticing erotic thriller that reminds me a little bit of the movies in the 90’s, though is has more daring scenes and dialogue than the 90’s movies were ever allowed to have. The storyline is completely and deliciously unpredictable. It is full of …
The Time Guardian Movie
Yet another “in the future the machines will take over the world and destroy all humans” kind of film, this time about a city trying to transport themselves with a time machine but fails. They then face the gruesome cyborgs (part machines, part human) who threaten to kill them …
Yes Man (starring Jim Carrey)
Imagine having to say “yes” all the way and not able to say “no” at all. It would be very, very strange indeed and definitely scary. Jim Carrey sizzles pretty much with the character of Carl Allen and from start till finish, I kept on laughing like a …
Rocky movie
What is the big deal about the movie Rocky? I don’t understand why anyone would want to watch people beat each other up. And, if you haven’t noticed, the acting is not great. So what is the point? I think Sylvester Stallone was pretty hot when he was younger …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 17
RomeoXJuliet Episode 17 has Romeo learning that he and all the other miners are perminantly banished from Neo Verona. He decides to have them all settle in the abandoned village near the church where he and Juliet recited their wedding vows. Meanwhile Juliet settles into Manchua and …
Movie: The Killing Floor
Synopsis: A book agent moves into a new apartment and suddenly finds himself involved in a mystery that includes a stalker and possibly a murder that occurred in his very own bathroom years earlier.
What I liked about this movie: I actually recorded this film off of one of our …
The Next Karate Kid: A Film
After the trilogy series, Karate Kid from 1984-1989, The Next Karate Kid (1994) takes on a different path, using a female protagonist, who went out to an adventurous story of a stubborn-turned-docile young adult. Julie Pierce (Hillary Swank), who was already orphaned, lives with her grandmother, whom she had …
Tokyo Story (1953 film) from Criterion Collection
I need to recover from watching too many Audrey Hepburn movies and TCM over cable television. I wondered why this film always made it to everyone’s list of favorite movies. In an effort to change my film source, I looked at some hard to find copies of …
I Am Love: A film by Luca Guadagdino (2009)
I watched this film upon the recommendation of one of nytimes film critics. I rely heavily on movie reviews, as I prefer to see titles released under the radar. It was a long wait for this film to be released in DVD version, and I had …
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Have you ever watched a movie that for the life of you you just can’t manage to sit through the whole thing, for every time it comes and you decide your mind that this time you are going to make the effort to sit down and watch it right …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was one in which I was leery about. Recently Nicholas Cage’s films have been sort of a letdown, but not this one. His co-star Jay Baruchel has a quirky sort of scholarly charm that makes him the perfect hero of our film. We …
While the children Sleep Movie
I watched this movie on lifetime the other night. Overall it was pretty good but there were a couple of parts that I wish they would have done differently. For instance, there was one part that showed a girl trying to suffocate another girl but they never reveal if …
Colossus Imax Theater in Langley, British Columbia
I went to the Colossus Imax Theater in Langley, British Columbia on January 8, 2010. After work, I wanted to watch Avatar again, as my way of relaxing after a rather busy and very exciting week.
I took the Walnut Grove bus at the Surrey Sky Train station, …
Pretty In Pink
I loved Molly Ringwald as the pitiful Andie in Pretty In Pink. Actually, I never watched the movie but loved the song by the Psychedelic Furs of the same name. There was a bit of buzz about Pretty In Pink, the movie, so I sat down for a viewing. …
Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror (1981)
Starring: Karin Well, Gianluigi Chirizzi, Simone Mattioli, Antonella Antinori, Robeto Caporali, Claudio Zucchet, Peter Bark, Anna Valente, Rainmondo Barbieri, and Mariangela Giordano.
Directed by: Andrea Bianchi.
“Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror” is so bad that I have to laugh… out loud as a matter of fact. This film is another one …
Moulin Rouge
Erm, I was not thinking that this was the best movie of all time. It has Nicole Kidman, who I love, and Ewan McGregor, and I own the movie, but it just wasn’t my favorite. I think the ideas presented in the movie were great fun … but it …
Futureworld Movie
This is a sequel to Westworld, where human-like androids populating an amusement park had gone wild and began killing the guest. Now, several years later, the creators of the park have re-opened it, claiming that all the issues are taken care of and the park, Futureworld, is perfectly safe. …
Movie: Escanaba in Da Moonlight
I ended up watching a movie last night that my brother once recommended to me; Escanaba in Da Moonlight. He thought it was the funniest movie ever made. I hate to say it, but I just don’t see what he liked about it.
OK, he’s a deer hunter and maybe …
The Perfect Witness (R, 2007) movie
This was a horror movie in the sense that the main character (besides Wes Bentley) is a complete maniac who does the sociopath thing really well. The premise of the story is fairly simple: a young man happens to catch a serial killer making a kill. …
Redbelt movie
I watched this movie recently on one of the movie channels. Overall it was a pretty good movie. Honestly I felt like it is a movie that has good things and bad things in it. One of the good things about this movie is it is a unique movie. …
Movie Family Stone
I watched this movie on cable about a week ago. I wanted to see it when it first came out and I totally forgot all about it. So when it was on the other night I watched it. It started out really good but toward the middle and the …
Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is a rather nice but strange movie. The idea of a magical store is really awesome and in this movie, Dustin Hoffman stars together along with Natalie Portman and with a little help from the cute boy, Zach Mills.
Natalie’s character is the favorite of Dustin …
The Little Vampire (2000) movie
The movie stars the adorable Jonathan Lipnicki who plays the role of a young boy named Tony. Tony and his family just moved to Scotland and at their new house, he started to have recurring dreams of vampires. In the process, the little boy dreams becoming …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
I started watching the movie “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” without much expectation. I thought it would be another mindless comedy. But I was surprised that it was much more well-made than I’ve expected. The story flows around the main character Nick(Michael Cera), a high school student and an …
The Call (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Call” it was a little before it was released, and I didn’t really pay much mind to it. Part of the reason was because a lot of the actress Halle Berry’s recent movies seem to have bombed and I …
Herbie Fully Loaded
Growing up, I was a die hard Herbie fan. So, when they made another Herbie movie, starring Lindsay Lohan, I had to watch it because… it was Herbie!
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting too much. I thought they would probably deviate too far from the original genius of the …
Notorious (R, 2009) movie
I was a little worried about this movie because when biopics are made about famous people, it’s sometimes really hard to hire the right actors to do these kinds of roles. The actor must not only look like the artist, but must also embody the little nuances that …
Precious movie (2009)
I first heard of the movie “Precious” when I was watching the Larry King Live interview with the singer Mariah Carey. In the interview Larry had asked her about an upcoming movie that she was in, and I immediately became interested in finding out more about the film, …
Good Luck Chuck
If you really love watching romance movies, than you must not miss out on watching “Good Luck Chuck”. This movie is one of my personal favourites together with “Sleepless in Seattle” and “While you were sleeping”. The difference in this movie from the latter is that the main characteres …
Independence day
Well, what an intriguing mystery on how the aliens (if there are) may look like was given a hypothetical description in this movie. Yes, it is possible that our technology here on earth may be a little rusty but perhaps those aliens could have done something about their …
Secret Window
Secret Window is a great movie. Stephen King did a great job of writing the story for this film. I also think the music as also very well done, and I really did enjoy watching the movie a lot. I think this is one of the best films made …
Movie The Last Mimizie
Want to see a wonderful childrens movie, that you can sit through and enjoy yourseld without feeling guilty that you are watching a PG-13 movie. Try to get to see the movie entitltedd the Last Mimzie.
In this movie the begining scenes are on a hilltop and there …
The Extra Man movie 2010
At one point I wondered why there aren’t more eccentric characters in one film. The answer is that they not occur. It seems that you can not cram a young English teacher with bizarre sexual inclinations, an old bearded playwright gigolo and a mechanic with a high voice who …
Andaz Apna Apna (AAA)
AAA is one of the most entertaining comedy in the history of bollywod. It is a total laugh riot right from the word go. The story is about two men, who want to trap a rich woman, so that they can get all her money, and the whole plot …

Continuing from where the last movie left off, this is staged five years in the future when the aliens have returned to rescue the last of the remaining cocoons to take back home, on arrival, they are made aware that one of there kind has fallen into the hands …
Wicker man movie
I was so excited to watch this movie when I got to finally rent it. I was excited because it looked like a good movie and that Nicolas Cage was in it. It was such a disappointment. At first it seemed like a good movie, after watching it for …
