Movies Reviews
Minstrel Man movie
Minstrel Man from 1944 really transports a person back to another generation when black face was the rage. It’s hard to believe that era existed, but it did, and many found it to be highly entertaining.
The movie stars Benny Fields as an entertainer named Dixie Boy Johnson. …
I Love You, Man movie
I didn’t have high hopes for this movie. It looked cheesy, stooping for cheap laughs with fart and masturbation jokes. However, I was surprised to find it rather amusing; definitely not in my top fifty, but certainly decent and watchable.
The fart joke surprised me. I hate humor based on …
The Weather Man
I am reviewing the movie, The Weather Man, starring Nicolas Cage and Michael Caine. Nicolas Cage plays David Spritz, a Chicago TV meteorologist, whose life is a complete mess. People don’t like his weather reports, as the weather is so unpredictable, and he’s usually wrong during his reports. He’s …
The Island movie
If there ever was a movie that made you think about cloning and all the moral dilemas with it, The Island is definitely it.
Based in the not-to-distant future. The movie stars Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson as two people being held in an underground bunker that supposedly houses the …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I love movies! Especially movies about spies! They’re so action packed, so cool and the spies themselves are so hot! Well most of them are. That was my first impression when I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s trailer for the first time. I was totally blown away!
The plot is …
The Devil Wears Prada (Movie)
Boy does this title make sense! There is this new girl working at this fashion magazine place that is really popular. And it is true, her boss is the devil! She expects her two assistants to do outrageous things for her like it was the simplest thing in the …
Dixiana movie
Dixiana was a musical from 1930 that was one of those love stories that combined the boy from the good side of the tracks with the girl from the bad side, only I don’t really get the societal norm of the time that stated that circus performers were some …
The Sixth Sense
Oh, I loved this movie when it came out. I am also very easily scared though and the twist at the end of it had me freaked out. I love the subtle nuances in this movie, they make them seem real. I don’t know why writers have to use …
Mean Girls: Bullying and Not Taking it Seriously
New Girl, New School, New Clique…you get the point. It’s another one of those chick flicks. “Mean Girls” is a fun watch with many of the stereotypical cliches, but it brings them to life with a capable cast of Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Tina Fey.
I can’t exactly …

The Mist (2008)
Stephen King has had many of his novels and short stories adapted into film versions, but perhaps none have been as disturbing and tragic as The Mist.
In the classic Stephen King novella, first released in the book Skeleton Crew, a town faces terrifying creatures that come out of a …
The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe
This evening I watched “The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. I had heard mixed reviews, yet I wanted to see this movie for myself.
I had seen the original cartoon movie, way back when.
I have to say I really liked this remake.
I …
To the Bone, original Netflix movie
I love the movies that give you something to think about. Sometimes I watch the movies that might disgust me or make me cry, but those movies cause more emotions than any horror movie, watched alone in the darkness. “To the bone” is one of those movies that give you …
Up film
Up is another one of those animated films from Pixar that comes out every so often that we feel we’re too old for but end up watching anyhow. At least, that’s how I usually feel about animated films these days.
Up is about an old man, Carl Fredricksen who …
Hancock movie
When it comes to summer blockbusters, Will Smith might as well be the king. After conquering many genres, from horror to science fiction to comedy and drama, Will Smith finally took a crack at the superhero business, yet in an unexpected way.
In his new movie, Hancock, Smith plays Hancock, …
Terminator Salvation movie
I am a great fan of the Terminator series, and I had been waiting for this film to release from a long time. Last night I went to theater to watch this movie.
Overall it is an enjoyable movie. The story is weak but there are other redeeming factors in …
Movie Exorcist
One of the spookiest movies that we have ever seen was the original Exorcist. In this movie it hit on everything that would scare you.
There is this young girl who travels with her mother to live in Washington D.C., the house that they move into in Georgetown …
Batman 1966 Movie
With all of the different versions of Batman in the past, the present, and the future, there are very few if any who can truly compare to the Batman that Adam West created in the 60s. His Batman was more unique and personal then I think any other Batman …
A.M.C. Theatres
A.M.C. is a theatre in Ontario - but it is not as famous as ‘famous players theatre’ because it is relatively new. If you go on weekdays, it is practically deserted. A lot of people even sneak in because they barely have any security on weekdays so I think …
He’s Just Not That Into You movie
For Valentines Day this year, my girlfriend really wanted to see the new movie, “He’s Just Not That Into You” and, it being Valentines Day and all, I obliged. Believe it or not though, I really enjoyed the film, as did everyone in the theatre! Well, at …
The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …
Animation Runner Kuromi Movie
An anime film about people creating anime (!). A woman named Mikiko starts working for an anime studio, but the situation there isn’t quite what she had expected. The boss is not kind, and she gets a lot more work than she would have wanted. Still, she is keen …
His Private Secretary movie
John Wayne takes second billing in this 1933 motion picture called His Private Secretary. He’s not even a cowboy. Of course, Wayne often played other roles, but he’s at his best when he’s a man with a horse. In this modern day film of its era, …
Cursed (Theatrical Version)
CURSED (Theatrical version)
This cinematic hairball was released in two versions on DVD: R-Rated and unrated.
I’m not sure what the difference is between the two because I saw this mess in theaters and have absolutely no desire to muddle through it again, in any version.
Wes Craven’s first werewolf film is …
1408 (DVD)
I was curious to watch this movie when my friends started to talk about how shocking this movie was. So I went to search this movie. I found myself watching it right at the same day when I bought the DVD. 1408 tells a story of Mike Enslin (John …
Pay it Forward (movie)
A movie that I can remember impacted the way I felt about life for years was called “Pay it Forward”. I’m not exactly sure when it was released, but I remember that the first time I watched it was when I was in high school and I had seen …

A Series of Unfortunate Events the Movie
I have read the entire series of the Series of Unfortunate Events books, and have a strange love for them. They are filled with misfortune and woe, but at the same time a mystery, suspense, and little joys and happiness that make it absolutely fantastic. The movie was—¦well—¦a disaster. …
Movie: Open Graves
I don’t know why I bother taping “horror” films off of the SyFy channel. Yes, occasionally, they will have a decent one. But, more often than not, the movies are actually pretty darn terrible.
The film Open Graves is a good example of that.
I DVR’d this film back in February …
Constantine Movie
In the name of all that is horror…don’t waste your time or money with Constantine. It’s a joke, no, less than a joke, it’s utter rubbish. Keanu Reeves has gotten to be a tired, boring actor who NEEDS to add some spice to his roles/characters. The plot of the …
Candyman movie
A woman scientist investigates the legend of Candyman, a black man who was murdered a hundred years ago and his said to haunt a certain neighbourhood and claim the revenge for his death.
I am split in my opinions regarding this film. On one hand it is a very well …

Sherlock Holmes 2009: The Movie
Sherlock Holmes is another great performance by Robert Downy Jr. who keeps the story extremely entertaining and exciting. Although at times the plot can be expected, it continues to keep mostly everyone interested in the movie. The plot is fun and exciting to watch as Sherlock Holmes puts together …
Wilderness (R, 2006) movie
If you think that this is going to be just another of those teen slasher flicks–you’re sadly mistaken. This film is ruddy, rugged, brutal, and suspenseful, all the to credit of the director, effects artists, and good actors. In reading the opening credits, I realized that …
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, directed by Adam McKay is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for crude and sexual humor, language, drug references and brief comic violence.

The House of the Devil movie 2009
I rented The House of the Devil through Netflix. I chose it because I read reviews stating that the retro-80’s style of filming was extremely accurate. I am an 80’s kid so I loved that idea—“ and they were right. Everything from the clothing and hairstyles down …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie
If your a fan of the x-men series this movie may leave you entertained and a bit disappointed.
Hugh Jackman makes a great Wolverine. His character delivery is very similar to the original 3 movies. I thought his preform ace was good and right on where it needed to be. …
The Lone Ranger Movie
“The Lone Ranger” is more than just a western. It delicately combines the ironic take on the genre and the homage to the similar European and American classics. To me “The Lone Ranger” is something like “Pirates of the Caribbean”, but in the Wild West. Here, in contrast with …
Turkish Star Wars
This movie is seriously an abomination on film. A lot of bad movies fall into two categories.
The first category is “so bad it’s awesome” these are movies that you know stink to high heaven, but you can laugh at the badness. A lot of the movies …
S.W.A.T
It is really hard not to like a movie with Samuel L. Jackson in it. At least for me it is. And I love almost everything he does. I’m not a huge Colin Farrell fan after movies like Phone Booth and that weird Jesse James western thing he did, …
Inception Movie (2010)
This movie just showed out today and I couldn’t resist not watching it since it had garnered so much hype and attention from press and interviews on HBO while it has not yet been released, when I saw the trailer I thought it was really weird but when I …

The Fighter is a gritty, brash drama based on the true life experiences of Micky Ward, a boxer that
rose from the squalor of a poor Lowell family to win the Boxing Championship of the World. The
major focus of the film is the relationship between Micky and his has-been boxer …
Colossal (2017 Sci-Fi Comedy Film)
Very few movies get you to unexpected places. Most of the time the movie starts and 5 minutes in you know where it is taking you. Perhaps one of the biggest problems of blockbuster filmmaking is that everyone is running out of ideas, immediately sticking to a single genre that …
