Beowulf movie
I’ve never seen any movie like this before. It totally blew me away. I knew that Beowulf is an old English epic poem but I didn’t really know its story. So I saw it with much anticipation, plus the hype about the movie just increased my interest in it. …
Legally Blonde

Made of Honor
I watched the Made of Honor movie with my friends; we were not keen on going for the movie as my sister said it was not that great. Since all of us were bored out our minds, we went for it. The movie was good and ok. It is …
Due South: Manhunt
For me, one of the big things I liked about Due South: Manhunt is that guest star Leslie Nielsen was able to show some of his dramatic abilities. For years, Nielsen did almost nothing but serious roles. Then he hit it big with the parodies like Airplane, …
We own the night
This movie is about a man who does drugs and manages a night club, most of his family are cops. I think that the movie could have been a lot better. Even though there was a lot going on I was kind of bored through out the whole movie, …

The Gravedancers Movie
The Gravedancers was one of the movies released as part of the After Dark Horror Fest. This is a low budget movie that features some B-list actors that probably wouldn’t have been seen by many people if it weren’t for that festival. Though this movie has a few problems, …
Penelope (movie)
One of the first movies that I remember recognising the actor James McAvoy in was Penelope, which was released in 2006. He’s one of those actors whose movies I will always take a chance with , and that was one of the main reasons why I even decided to …
Movie Kate and Leopold
We watch a lot of movies, it is our past time, and if you have cable then you don’t have to spend a lot of money going out. I watched a movie the other day called Kate and Leopold. Meg Ryan played Kate and I like Hugh …
Due Date: Movie
Due Date is a comedy film that I really enjoyed, despite going into it with a slight bit of pessimism due to previous reviews I’d heard.
It was much better than I expected, and had a number of laugh out loud moments that make me want to watch it again …
Life of Pi (movie)
A couple years ago, I had to read the book “Life of Pi” for a literature class. I had heard one or two other students say that it was a very good book, but whenever I had gotten to read it for myself, I wasn’t anywhere near as impressed …
Peacock (Movie 2010)
John Skillpa has been living alone inside his home for over a year. Everyone in the neighborhood thought so. But is he really alone in that house? Or was he hiding someone else?
Cillian Murphy (John Skillpa) scares us with a very bizzare behavior. Everyday, before the clock strikes 8 o’clock …
Braveheart
For me, this movie was hard to watch. Brutal battles, blood, gore, and a horrible scene of torture in the end that I couldn’t handle; I just left and returned when it was nearly over. Mel Gibson plays William Wallace, a 13 century Scottish freedom fighter. After the English …
Prince of Persia:The Sands of Time Movie (2010)
I haven’t really played the game Prince of Persia when I was little, though I used to remember seeing my little brother play it, I saw the effects and had actually tried playing it once but I had a hard time with it, I was getting killed most of …
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone might contain spoilers.

Dirty Harry (1971)
In my estimation, no review can even come close to doing this movie justice, this has got to be the greatest crime movie ever created then and still today, it is not close to finding its equal. Every movie today is filled with so much over the top green …
Road Trip
When the movie Road Trip first came out, I will confess I wasn’t overly impressed by it. For the most part, it seemed to be pretty much every other college movie I’ve ever seen.
Then, after watching it for about the third time, I think I might have finally realized …
Schindler’s List
I can remember my mother constantly telling me about this movie over the years. However, I never seemed to see it on television or cable so I didn’t watch it for a very long time. It was apparently supposed to be one of the best war movies too, however, …
Alpha Dog (R, 2006) movie
Justin Timberlake is of course, the draw for this film. But he’s not really the one who makes the most impact. I liked that he was in it. And for some reason, I felt that it wasn’t too far a stretch from how he really acts …
13 Going on 30
When I first rented 13 Going on 30, my first thought was, this is going to be a lot like the movie “Big.” I was glad I was wrong about it.
Jennifer Garner does a great job portraying a 13-year-old girl who wishes she was 30 back in the 80s …
Sydney White movie
Sydney white is about a girl who goes to college and enters a fraternity. She doesn’t really fit in with the other girls there so she wanders off and meets these guys who live off campus. The guys are sort of nerds and the girl fits in with them …

Rec Movie
This movie came out a while ago but I am reviewing it because I would like to view Spanish films from Spain to improve my understanding of the language.
First off, I have to say that at the beginning, this movie did help me with my Spanish, with a myriad …
Girl, Positive movie
I watched this movie a while ago on lifetime movie network. I thought it was pretty good overall. It has Jennie Garth, and Andrea Brown. All of the actors were good. It’s about a high school student that finds she has tested positive for a HIV test. I …
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
I was very disappointed to see this film listed in the Razzie Awards 2008 because I truly believe it is a great comedy were one can have a good hearty laugh at the misfortuntes of two fellow firefighters, Chuck and Larry. The parts of Chuck and Larry are interpreted …
Millionaire’s First Love
I have watched a very touching Korean movie that I think is worth a good review. The title is A Millionaire’s First Love. The movie started out really funny but ended really sad. The twist of the movie was cool and that it was really worth the time, I …
Globe Cinema
There is a “circuit” of cinemas all over Trinidad which go by the name of Globe and one of my favourite Globe Cinema is located in Chaguanas, the little city of Trinidad.
There are many things I like about this cinema. It is very easy to access by foot and …
1492: Conquest of Paradise movie
A film by the uneven filmmaker Ridley Scott about the explorer Chrisopher Columbus who discovered America. In my own humble opinion an extremely boring film with no sense of cinema what so ever. Ridley Scott proved his talent several times in his early career with brilliant visual films like …
Thinking XXX (NR, 2004) documentary
One might think that documentaries about sexually explicit topics will be full of juicy material. I found this one downright boring. While it was interesting to see porn stars (like Tera Patrick) actually taking part in interviews, some of the dialogue and things they were talking about …

The Mummy, directed by Stephen Sommers is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for pervasive adventure violence and some partial nudity.

The Sixth Sense
The Sixth Sense is a very fine psychological thriller/horror movie. The movie, which is directed by M. Night Shyamalan, is a wide hit across the world. The movie has Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment and Toni Collette playing the pivotal roles and the best thing about the movie is …
The Whole Nine Yards
“The Whole Nine Yards” is all out the acting abilities of Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis and Rosanna Arquette. It is truly unbelievable that Perry was very scared to interpret Nicholas Oseransky in the this movie due to the fact that he was very intimidated by Willis and didn’t know …
Christina’s House movie
I watched this movie on lifetime Movie network the other day. It was an overall alright movie. It was worth watching but it isn’t a movie I would watch again or buy. It’s a good movie for a rainy day. If you are really in the mood for a …

Yet another animation.this computer-animated comedy is from the same company that produces the famous hit “wallace & gromit- the curse of the were rabbit. as the previous one make a great success and it was the oscar winning animation, i was expecting this to be equally good but it …
Shooter movie
I decided to watch “Shooter” because I knew that Mark Wahlberg had the leading role in this film. I really like his acting skills especially after watching him in films such as “The Perfect Storm”, “The Italian Job”, “The Kingdom” and in Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed”. I must admit …
Zhang Yimou’s 1991 film “Raise the Red Lantern”
I’m as accustomed to Western cinema as the next person; the majority of films I watch are either American or English-language international productions, which means that I’m used to certain styles of storytelling, not to mention cultural codes and stereotypes. Therefore, for me to enjoy a film made outside …
Flight of the Phoenix
Hollywood has long been known to produce some great movies. It seems the wheels of the machine have stopped turning of late and all they will produce are remakes. Some, of course, seem light years better than others. Among the few that are destined to be forgotten are Flight …
Galaxy Quest movie
Actors from an old cult-rated science fiction tv-series are contacted by aliens. Somehow the signals from the tv-series have reached the aliens and they think it has to do with the history of earth, which of course is far from the truth.
The film is a comedy, rather odd one …
The Jane Austen Book Club Movie
The movie “The Jane Austen Book Club” was one that I was drawn to immediately upon reading the title. As a huge Jane Austen fan myself I was really excited about the idea of a movie that was centered on her books and the effects the books have on …
Pinky and the Brain
Pinky and the Brain is one of the best cartoons ever! This show is so funny, and I really love in the intro song to this show. The lyrics are so funny and catchy! I think this is a wonderful show that everyone will enjoy a lot. I like how …
Last Night film
Director Don McKellar brings us a thought provoking, powerful and at times, humorous vision of the last day on earth.
It’s an unusual take on the apocalypse, opting instead to show the very real human tragedy behind the impending disaster. Some sit alone with their own thoughts, others band together …
Doomsday
10,000BC is currently where I draw the line for horrible contemporary cinema and while the quality of Doomsday doesn’t fall quite so far, it’s perhaps in a similar ballpark. Personally I hate both parks and balls but I use this analogy with the intention of making it clear …
Trading Places
Trading Places with Eddie Murphy, Dan Akroyd, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Take a one dollar bet between the rich aristocratic Duke brothers over whether or not they can turn their successful Harvard Grad protege into a penniless bum and an amoral con man into a financial genius, …
