Movies Reviews
All the Kind Strangers movie
All the Kind Strangers from 1974 is one of those really weird movies that just doesn’t have much value in my opinion. If, and that is a big if, there is a message, it’s something about helping children who have no one in the world to guide them. …
Batman: Dark Knight Rises
One of the movies that I watched recently was “Batman: Dark Knight Rises” and to be honest, I didn’t expect it to come anywhere near the previous one in the series in terms of greatness, where I was blown away by Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker. Nevertheless, I …
The Ring (2002) movie
People used to tell me all about this movie, so I knew what to expect but my girlfriend still said I had to watch it cause the creepiness gets to everyone. I can’t lie this movie is very creepy and the ending is just great.
The story is all …
Rush - Movie
After the extraordinary success of “Rocky” sports movies almost invariably follow the stereotypical formula, with slight variations, determined by the taste of the author. In “Rush” opportunities for freely creative imagination are relatively limited as it recreates real events related to real people .
The 70s. The phones have …

The Other Guys Movie (2010)
I watched this movie because it features Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell and they’re pretty famous for doing comedies and it would be fun to watch Mark do a comedy with Will, so I watched this and I can say I’d rate it a 6 out of 10. Their …

Life Support (NR, 2006) movie

A Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Movie 2010)

Who’s Harry Crumb (1989)
This is a comedy starring John Candy and he plays a very stupid private investigator in this movie. Truthfully, I didn’t find this movie very funny or entertaining. That is sad as I normally enjoy movies with John Candy. He did the acting well enough but I just didn’t …
Fast and Furious 6 Movie
What’s comfortable with the franchise in cinema is that the viewer knows what he is buying, what he expects and what he will get because the label matches the content . The audience has the right to like or not to like only the first film. Each subsequent new …

Godzilla: Final Wars

Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
While I thought the first Cheaper by the Dozen movie was lame, I did not think that a sequel to it could possibly be just plain silly and a waste of money that could have been put to proper use elsewhere. This time the movie was not just lame, …
“Juno” film
Thanks to TBS I was able to watch “Juno” for the first time. I’m happy this movie finally made it to cable television.

The Hiding Place Movie
I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.
The story is of Corrie ten Boom, and her …

Traffickers, Movie
Korean thrillers rarely pull their punches, which can often make them deeply affecting - especially when they centre around some really dark subjects. Unlike popular Chinese and Japanese cinema exports there is typically much more favour for realism in Korean films, that only makes them more shocking.
Traffickers is concerned …
Die Hard 4.0 Movie Starring Bruce Willis
For me, Bruce Willis will always be the godfather of action films and he just simply has a way of playing his role sole well that whenever I see him in a different setting, outside of a film and in an interview, it has a certain unnaturalness about it …

Disturbia movie

Lost in Space (1998 Film)
The 1998 film “Lost in Space” starring Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers and Heather Graham is a sci-fi thriller that is pretty much guaranteed to not only give the viewers a strong dose of the supernatural, but an entertaining plot that is simple and enjoyable to follow.
Despite the fact that …
13 going on 30
13 going on 30 is a nice entertainer and it is a partial fantasy movie. The movie in which Jennifer Garner gave a very fine performance is a nice comedy with romance in the right doses. Jenna Rink is a 13 year old girl who is worried that she …

Unearthed, horror film by Matthew Leutwyler
Matthew Leutwyler hopes to strike it big again with Unearthed. The movie Leutwyler wrote, Dead & Breakfast, was a classic. Instead of following the same formula Leutyyler went with a different approach, one in which that will bore horror movie goers for years to come.
Unearthed feels like a …

Man On Fire-Denzel Washington (2004)
Once again Denzel Washington has outdone himself. This compelling store left me in awe. He was definitely a man on a mission that took no prisoners. I had never imagined him in such a role as this before. I had always seen him in such light hearted roles. The …
The Father of the Bride movie

A Beautiful Life Truly Beautiful
If anything, “Life is Beautiful” was the first movie that made me cry. I had watched “Schindler’s List” and other such movies about the Holocaust before, but I never had had the experience of watching such a heartwrenching movie, ever. The undying love of a father for his young …
