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 …
Happy Feet
‘Happy Feet’, is movie with foot tapping music and wonderful animation.
A movie for everyone with a message to do what you want to and not what you are forced to. Your weakness is your strength and nothing and nothing can come across your path if you have a …
Rose Red (2002 Rilm)
Stephen King has been one of my favorite authors for creepy and late night frightening stories of all time. One of his stories that turned to a movie, the 2002 production of “Rose Red” was not only chilling and suspenseful but a movie I have strangely grown to really …
Cars (2006)
Disney and Pixar’s Cars, directed by John Lasseter and Joe Ranft is rated G by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars the voices of Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen, Paul Newman as Doc Hudson, Bonnie Hunt as Sally Carrera, Chech Marin as Ramine, Larry ‘the cable guy’ …
The Avengers movie
In a somehow original yet cliche kind of way, The Avengers is one of the best movies of the year and easily the most entertaining. However this action thriller does not come out perfectly, a lot of small flaws make this only a good action movie and not a …
Darby O’Gill and the Little People movie
It must have taken me ten tries over the years to finally sit and get through all of Darby O’Gill and the Little People. I don’t know what it is about this tale of leprechauns and banshees, but for literally decades I’ve tried to watch the entire film …

Grosse Point Blank
I really thought Grosse Point Blank was a great movie. The reason I loved this movie was because it was so funny! I mean Martin Blank is a crazy hitman who kills for money. And now he might have to doa job in Grosse Point where he is from. So …
Meet John Doe movie
Meet John Doe is one of the classics from the golden age of movie making. It has an impressive cast headlined by Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. It is the superb acting that truly contributes to making this a standard in the sense of being one of …
Titanic movie 1997
Titanic movie is one of the best lovestory that I have ever seen. Titanic became a huge hit when it was shown is the huge screen. Especially in this movie famous actors stars. This movie stars Leonardo di caprio as Jack and Kate Winslet as Rose. Jack and Rose …

I am reviewing The Case of the Perfect Husband, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Fiesta movie
Fiesta is a small musical film from 1941 that features Ann Ayars as Cholita and Jorge ‘George’ Negrete as José. The opening song is inviting and very upbeat; I enjoyed it greatly.
The spirited movie begins with a 3 day fiesta being held with the goal of honoring the return …
The Great Debaters
I was really stuck watching this movie. Its a real life story of how the Black Americans fought their way to be able to have the same rights as that of the White Americans. I love seeing this movie since its very informative. Denzel Washington is one of my …
The Scorpion King (2002)
The Scorpion King, directed by Chuck Russell is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for intense sequences of action violence and some sensuality. The original release date was April 19, 2002 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Fantasy/Romance/Thriller and stars Dwayne …
Star Wars movie
Quite honestly, I was a huge hold out to the entire Star Wars thing. The 1977 movie had been out for months, close to a year I believe, before I finally caved in and went to see it. By then, seats were plentiful. I must admit …
Nim’s Island
Don’t make the mistake to regard the movie “Nim’s Island” as just another movie for kids. This movie is ideal for all the family jam-packed with drama, romance and funny moments. Apart from providing us with a cute and entertaining story, “Nim’s Island” has got an A-List of actors …
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016 Superhero Movie)
I remember hearing about the movie “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” a long time when it was just a rumour, and I was very excited to see how it would be translated to screen. However, I lost interest in seeing it when I found out that Ben Affleck was …
It Might Get Loud Doocumentary

influential Rock’n’Roll guitarists. Namely Jimmy Page, the Edge and Jack White.
Directors Dave Guggenheim and Jimmy Page drive us into the lifes and backgrounds of the three artists’ relationships …
Girls from St. Trinians movie
St. Trinian’s is a “legendary” school for girls that is nothing like any other school you’ve ever seen. The Headmistress (played by brilliant actor Rupert Everett) will not comment on students throwing each other over the balcony, but she will yell to tuck their shirts in. Chemistry is all …
Sahara movie
After the defeat in Tobruk in 1942, Joe Gunn leads his troops through the desert of Sahara to get away from Rommel’s army and reach his allied forces.
This film is completely lacking all form of intelligence. I doubt it’s even historically correct, because everything that happens seem so over-dramatized …
My Bloody Valentine movie
My Bloody Valentine has risen to the level of cult status not so much by what’s on screen, but by what is not on screen.
In 1981, Paramount released this Friday the 13th clone in theaters on Valentine’s Day and, despite having a really cool theme (mad killer returns to …
RV Movie
I had high hopes for the movie RV when it was released in theaters. The previews for this movie look great in my opinion, and Robin Williams typically starts to very good movies. When i went to go see this is the theater I went in with high hopes …
House of a Thousand Corpses
This is a movie (produced and shown in 2003) that I regret having watched. I only wasted money.
I am not going to watch anymore movie directed by Rob Zombie if this is an example. This contains scenes that only psychos like the ones in the movie …
Proof (2005)
“Proof” is a 2005 color movie in English lasting 99 minutes. Location work was filmed in Chicago. In someways “Proof” is a knockoff of “A Beautiful Mind” featuring Russell Crowe. “Proof” is not as well done as “A Beautiful Mind,” but still a good movie. In this movie Gwyneth …
“To Kill a Mockingbird” (1962)
“To Kill a Mockingbird” is an excellent movie based on the Pulitzer Prizewinning novel by Harper Lee. Screenplay is by Horton Foote. Like all good movies it can be viewed on various levels, but I tend to think of it as a childhood memoir. The movie is told from …
Thor: The Dark World (movie)
I’ve been looking forward to seeing the movie Thor: The Dark World ever since I figured out that there was going to be another one even before it had begun to film. I was also looking forward to it when I understood that Loki was going to be one …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Rob Marshall turned a New York Times’ Bestseller into a Hollywood box office hit. I have to admit though, it’s not a film I would want to watch over and over again. It’s brilliant. Emotional. Deep. That said, it’s kind of depressing despite the ending. The entire film has …
School For Scoundrels
I had the opportunity to watch the movie School For Scoundrels. Now on paper I thought this would be a funny movie. It stars Billy Bob Thornton (Bad Santa, Bad News Bears) and Jonm Heder (Napolean Dynamite) as the lead charecters with Horatio Sanz (Saturday Night Live), …
Robin Hood:Men in Tights
One of Mel Brooks’ many parodies of famous folklore. No one can deny that this movie is comedy at its best. You will be laughing your socks off from start to finish and even after it’s all said and done. Cary Elwes is a true comedian and its due …
Erin Brockovich movie
Erin Brockovich is in my opinion a semi-classic movie, which is good for watching many times over,rather than just once. For me it works at a lot of different levels, from being a simple “more power to women” movie, to a David v/s Goliath struggle against a large corporation, …
Movie Cars
Cars is an animation movie which was released in 2006. It was created by Pixar Studios which has already produced some great movies in the past.
Pixar has done a great job by the extremely cool animations and character rendering in this move. The story is that of a rookie …
Creature From the Black Lagoon
I remember seeing a photo of this creature in a monster magazine and remarking how scary it looked. Well it was not that scary in this classic film. I liked the opening scene in which it explained the Big Bang theory and leading up …
Feature film “The Switch”
I am only sort of a romantic comedy fan. You can usually predict what will happen in the end and that bores the heck out of me. I did see the ending coming, it was predictable and trite, but the movie was still ok. Jennifer …
The Artist’s Circle
The Artist’s Circle is a small, artsy independent film that stars Michael Shanks, most known for his role as Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1. In this short drama from 2000, Shanks plays ‘the artist’. He’s promised his critics a masterpiece that they won’t forget. Among the …
Confessions of a Call Girl (NR, 2007)
I am actually ashamed to admit that I watched this film in its entirety. I should have known that a film in which Bokeem Woodbine and Tamala Jones are cast in main roles as a powerful doctor/lawyer husband wife team, would be treacherous. Where do …
The Dead Zone (1983) movie
The Dead Zone is an old movie from 1983 but I have only just seen it and it was better than I expected. Although I loved reading Stephen King novels when I was younger they unfortunately do not often translate very well into celluloid, but The Dead Zone …
Cleopatra movie
There was a time when Hollywood was flooded with films about the ancient Rome. Some of these were very successful, others weren’t. Cleopatra goes in the second category. The incredibly beautiful Elizabeth Taylor plays the queen Cleopatra of Egypt, a most powerful woman who is not easily corrupted. Only …
Film The Collector (1965)
William Wyler’s The Collector, filmed in 1965, is possibly one of the most disturbing films ever made. It is a suspense film and a character study and one of the bleakest at that, as well.
Freddie (Terrence Stamp) is a lonely man who likes to collect butterflies. Having, …
Videodrome movie
Cronenberg’s cult rated film features James Woods as a man being consumed by media, psychologically and physically, in perhaps the most bizarre way ever seen. It begins as what seems like a very serious and slowly paced film, but ends up as a plain horror film with loads of …
Going The Distance Movie (2010)
I first thought this was just an ordinary feel-good movie, it features Drew Barrymore and her real-life boyfriend “The Jeepers Creepers Guy” Justin Long; it’s a story about two people meeting and falling in love but Drew here is just actually on a temporary “vacation” as she’s an intern …
Point Break movie (1991)
(Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, Gary Busey)
Point Break was an action packed movie and a half. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, a director known for pushing the limits and never pulling any punches, Point Break starts at a gallop and never slows down. This was also one of the …
Chocolat movie
I had the great pleasure recently to watch the DVD of Lasse Hallstrom’s (2000) movie “Chocolat.” The movie stars the both pretty and beautiful Juliette Binoche as Vianne Rocher, an unmarried mother and free spirit. Vianne arrives in a small French village just as Lent is starting and opens …
Great Mouse Detective
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective. I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, and so I emensely enjoyed this movie. If you’re a Sherlock fan, you have to check this cute film out. Once again, Disney focuses its main characters on mice. A …
The Longest Yard movie
Although definitly it is not Adam Sandler’s best film, it is still worth watching to have a good laugh. In “The Longest Yard” we see Adam Sandler interpreting the part of Paul Crewe who ends up in jail after smashing his girlfriend’s car in an incredible car accident. In …
Children of the Night movie
Children of the Night is based on the true experience of Lois Lee, as played by the magnificent Kathleen Quinlan. Lee is a sociology student writing a dissertation so for research she contacts prostitutes, giving them her card and telling them to call her if they ever need …
Movie Homocide
Homicide with Joe Mantegna and Bill Macy.
I do not believe that this movie made the big screen as it was pretty cheesy. It focuses on two crimes in New York City. One was a black cop killer who only needed to be located. …
Easy Rider
Easy Rider is a movie about riding. Simple as that. I suppose riders all over would be able to love the movie and relate to the journeys of Billy and Wyatt, acted by Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda respectively. Well, minus the dope at least. These 2 …
