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 …
Frozen Movie
Frozen is an excellent movie to watch if you have some time to kill and want it to fly by unnoticed. This is a great thriller that involves you and captures your imagination almost from the start. Being a very independent film, this is not a movie that boasts …
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 …

Valentine’s Day (2010) movie
Valentine’s day was pretty much set up to do great, from its very release. The cast they had was just ridiculous in size and talent. It ranges from Julia Roberts to Taylor Swift in the most experienced actors to ones with very little experience.
The story itself is very …
Angel Season 1
I adore Angel. My fiance got me into all the magical, vampire shows, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Charmed, and Smallville. This review is about Angel Season 1. I love this season because it sort of picks up where Buffy left off. I love how there …

The Exorcist, movie
I still find the “Exorcist” scary, and it won’t matter how old I get, how many times I see it, or who I’m with when I watch it, It will always petrify me. The story holds up well among similar films, and time has been kind to the movie …
Rango Movie
I looked forward to going to see Rango for probably three reasons. Number one of course was getting to hang out with my nephew and secondly I was looking forward to the movie because it looked good in the trailers. The third reason? I was looking …
The Movie Hercules
I can remember when this movie came out. It was supposed to be really funny and a great movie for kids of all ages. Well, not only was it not all that funny, but it was centered more towatds boys between 8-10 years old.
I was definetely not impressed …
Casablanca movie
Classic love triangle, memorable lines, told against an exotic backdrop of French Morocco. These elements served the artists well back in 1942, and have stood the test of time. Casablanca is a treasure among great films.
Anything Bogie steps into is going to come out shining like the North Star. …
War of the Worlds: Movie
War of the Worlds is one of my favourite alien invasion films; I thought it was really well made.

Watchmen movie
Watchmen was an absolutely amazing film. If you can get the chance though, I would read the book before you go see the movie. Why? Because half of the greatness of the movie is appreciating how accurately they kept up with the panels from the comic; even shadows …
High Anxiety Movie
Our youngest daughter took a late nap yesterday evening and, as a result, didn’t want to go to bed at her usual hour.

Grand Finale: FIFA World Cup 2006 movie
Positives: Comprehensive, narrative, informative and captivating.
Negatives: Too short, concise but could do with a bit more detail, narrow topic focus.
As an avid football enthusiast, it came as no surprise at all that I would look forward to viewing this documentary-type motion picture of a past FIFA World Cup, 2006, …

Iron Man (2008 Film)
The 2008 movie, “Iron Man” starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow has always been a movie that I have seen on the TV but flipped passed the channel because I assumed it would be like every other super hero movie. Also, because it didn’t look like it would …
Unfaithful film
Adrian Lyne’s UNFAITHFUL is a film not for the faint of heart. That is not to say that it is in some way gruesome or graphically gory. It’s sentimentally hard to watch. In UNFAITHFUL, Diane Lane’s character Connie’s motivation for infidelity is not thoroughly or intellectually explored. She appears …

National Lampoon’s Van Wilder
This movie is a decent comedy, even against my initial expectations. So far every other “National Lampoon’s” movie has just been awful. This has completely changed my view of them for the future!
The overall basis of the movie is that a student named Van Wilder is attempting to stay …

Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs
Valerie on the Stairs isn’t a very good movie on its own, and when you compare it to the other films in the Masters of Horror series, it looks even worse. That’s fairly sad considering the amount of talent in the movie. The movie centers on a main character …
The Bourne Ultimatum
In the past decade or so, there have been some pretty good actors. Both still famous and those who have fallen from the limelight. One of these actors to surface in the mid to late nineties was Matt Damon. He’s still an extremely successful actor and is the new …
The Fast and the Furious
I like action movie, including car racing. I always like the Fast and the Furious no matter it’s the first movie, the second, the third or the fourth one, I like them all.
The Fast and the Furious is the first movie before the sequel is made. I watch this …
Pigs vs Freaks movie
In 1984, the movie Pigs vs Freaks was aired. Oddly, it had been filmed in 1980, and in truth, it was loosely based on a game that had been written up in Time Magazine in 1970. In other words, this movie was a long time coming. …
UHF
I was flipping through channels last night and came across the Weird Al Yankovic movie UHF. Since there wasn’t anything better on TV, I figured I would take the time to watch it for the first time in years.
The movie was OK but not as funny as I remembered …
The Simpsons Movie
The Simpsons Movie is the best movie of the summer so far. It is full of hilarious scenes that will keep you laughing to the very end. As usual, Homer is an idiot, and Bart is a bad influence for children. Over all the antics in …

Awake (R, 2007)
I am definitely not a huge Jessica Alba fan. But I wanted to see this movie mainly because I was unsure how the director would put a spin on �anesthetic awareness��a condition that causes people undergoing surgery to feel pain and be conscious, but unable to move …

The Thing from Another World movie
This film was directed by Howard Hawks back in the 1960s, but for some reason the famous director let an unknown filmmaker take all the credit. Perhaps it wasn’t good for is rumour to be affiliated with a story like this, I’m not sure.
Anyway, the plot centres around a …
Twilight- Movie
My thirteen year old daughter is in love with the Twilite Movie. She has even read the book she liked it so much, and she is not one to read a book if it wasn’t an assignment. I can’t say as I loved the movie, but it is a …
Salt ( 2010 Movie )
I was really anticipating this film ever since I first saw its trailer. It opened today and I hurriedly watched the last full show. The movie just got a passing mark in Rottentomatoes.com. It says ” the plot was predictable and ludicrous”.
I dissent.
Evelyn Salt ( Angelina …
Erin Brockovich movie
The movie Erin Brockovich is a very inspiring movie. She was a single mom of three that proved that she could make it. I was really impressed how she fought for the people in the town against a big company.
Even though the film is loosely based on a true …
A Little Princess Movie
The first time I saw this movie, I was just flipping through the channels and found this strange little movie on HBO. I sat and watched the whole movie, just on a whim. It turned out to be a cute little movie. A sad but uplifting story of a …
Black Christmas
I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …
The Maid - A Horror Movie
I have seen the DVD and CD of the movie The Maid when I was in the Philippines, but I did not pay attention to it. It didn’t make big on screen. Because I have never heard any news or promotional tour about the movie.
The …
