Avatar (2009 film)
Any film with many disparate (though often impressive) elements and a lot of hype and money behind it is bound to create both ardent fans and ardent critics, and James Cameron’s sci-fi epic “Avatar” (which was also released in both 2 and 3D) is a prime example. There’s …

“The Great Debaters” Movie on DVD
I looked forward to watching “The Great Debaters” because I hoped to pick up some pointers on how to argue more persuasively. I thought it would be like the movie, “Akeelah and the Bee”, which involves the quest of a young girl to win the national spelling bee. After …
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
This movie is the best film of its kind - dramatic, gripping, mind-splitting, emotionally heart-wrenching. You’ll fall in love with this movie over and over again. I was suprised by the casting in this movie, as I’d never seen Jim Carrey do a role other than his usual over-acting …
Duplex, movie
Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore do a wonderful job in pulling off this bright comedy about a couple trying to survive their first home owner’s experience. I thought this film was playful, funny and even a bit telling in how we all sometimes fall for things that are too good …
X Men First Class movie
I have always been an X men fan but after the last set of X men related movies I was just not very excited about this next X men movie. I didn’t think it would be that great but I was wrong. Wow X men first class if what the …

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (3D)
I loved Transformers: Dark of the Moon! I thought it should be pretty cool in 3D. I was right! It impressed me right away, literally within the first minute or two. Then it kept getting better throughout the movie.
I wasn’t sure how I would like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for …
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
In what could be considered by parents a nightmare of a movie, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle has been, and continues to be one of the most popular comedy movies amongst teens and 20 somethings.
In this film, roommates Harold struggles daily for just one lucky break when …
We’re No Angels (movie)
For a comedy film, the movie We�re No Angels really doesn�t produce many laughs.
Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn put in a valiant effort, but the weak script and the even weaker concept really doesn�t work. You can only make so many jokes at the expense of the church …
Queen Sized movie
I came home early today and my wife was watching the movie “Queen Sized” on TV. I had never heard of the movie and, since it was raining and there wasn’t much else to do, I sat down to watch it with her.
I missed the first half hour or …
Fargo (1996) Movie

Brothers movie
Note: This review contains spoilers!
“Brothers”, starring Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Natalie Portman is a movie that suffers from bad marketing. When I saw the trailer for it, I was expecting a psychological thriller, and instead found the movie to be more of a run of the mill drama. …
Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2 (3D)
I have been a fan of the Harry Potter films all the way through. This final chapter did not disappoint me!
It picked up right where Part One left off, just how I was expecting it to start! There was a scene or two of dialog to catch everyone up …

Employee of the Month, movie
Dane Cook’s first time out as a leading man left me laughing, but not so much at the movie, as at myself. I found this movie to hit all of the right marks for laughter but couldn’t being myself to admit that it was anything more than a poor …

A Prairie Home Companion
I personally had a lot of hope for this movie because of the amount of publicity it got, the celebrities which were involved such as film star Lindsay Lohan and the actress Meryl Streep; and just the fact that our cable service provider even ordered the movie for its …
Phantom of the Opera movie
I am reviewing the movie, Phantom of the Opera, the new version, which was released in 2004. It stars Emmy Rossum as Christine, a chorus girl at an opera theatre who is being taught secrety by the “angel of music,” a phantom she believes was sent to her by …
Smokey Mountain Christmas Movie

Bubbling Over movie short
Bubbling Over with Ethel Waters from 1934 features Ethel Waters as Ethel Peabody. Also appearing is Hamtree Harrington as her husband, Samson. The whole beginning is on her feet with the broom and it’s highly entertaining. It actually surprised me quite a bit. Sometimes, simple …
Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal (movie)
The first time when I saw “Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal” was a couple years ago when it first premiered on the cable television station Lifetime. At the time, I had mistaken it for another movie sharing a similar name, but when I watched it, even though I …
A Christmas Without Snow movie
From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …
Project Moonbase Image Entertainment DVD
When I bought Project Moonbase, I was expecting to see a sprawling, scientifically accurate moon city, especially when I knew it was written by Robert Heinlein, one of the giants of literary science fiction. I was even further encouraged when I saw the spectacular opening titles, set against …
Never Been Kissed 1999 movie
Never Been Kissed, with Drew Barrymore, is, in a word, cute. The premise (shy girl gets to go back to high school and try again as part of a newspaper assignment) is fun and resonates with the part of me that knows a lot more than I did when …
Aelita-Queen of Mars
A russian silent film made aside from the artistic works of the montage industry. The director of this film was a man named Yakov Protazanov, and the story of it is a lot more conventional than other russian films of the time, and doesn’t demand all that much of …

Alice in Wonderland (2010 movie)
I expected, because it has Johnny Depp and was directed by Tim Burton, for Alice in Wonderland to be a good movie. I wasn’t disappointed. It was a good movie, and definitely worth watching. The acting was seamless, every character interesting and exaggerated in true Alice in Wonderland style. …
Happy feet
Happy feet may not be as child friendly as it’s animation may imply.
The film follows the story of a penguin who seems unable to fulfill his duty in life, that being to find a mate through singing his “heart song”. Mumbles, the unfortunate penguin, was blessed with a very …
Slumdog Millionaire
I just watched Slumdog Millionaire, it was my first time seeing it. It was a blu-ray rental and I have to say it is a movie that is superb and deserved all of the Golden Globes, Oscars and Bafta awards that it won.

Movie: Monster in the Closet

When Harry Met Sally
I want to review the movie when Harry met Sally because it is a long-time favourite of mine. It came out approximately 20 years ago, when I was still a teenager, and I still love it.
I love it so much because it is not a simple love story like …
Dr. Alien movie
Wesley goes to High School, just any ordinary school where nothing exciting ever happens. One day there is a new biology teacher who involves Wesley in a strange experiment that makes all girls attracted to him.
This is a rather stupid and a bit sick High School comedy that doesn’t …
Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen
When we first saw previews for the movie Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen, we thought it would be a somewhat funny movie. Turns out it was actually quite dull.
Unless you like seeing a teenaged Lindsay Lohan in a tight red dress, there really isn’t much value to this …
Funny People (2009) movie
I’m a huge fan of Judd Apatow films but I have to say this one missed the mark for me. It has a strong cast of comedy but the plot just never seemed to come together for me and it just seemed some what thrown together.
The main character Ida …
Police Woman - The Complete First Season
This movie DVD, Police Woman - The Complete First Season is really lame. There is truly nothing at all that I could comment on which would give it even the tiniest bit of positiveness. It is inspired from the TV series which have up to 23 episodes …
X-Men (Movie)
As a fan of the comics and early morning animated show, I always felt this movie was a long time coming. Thankfully, someone finally saw fit to bring Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops and the rest to the big screen and under the direction of Bryan Singer; the X-Men were finally …
