Late in the 20th century, mankind was introduced to the concept of globalization, although the changes this term refers to can be seen taking place since the dawn of 20th century. As more people are getting aware of this concept and more of its effects are visible, the question …

This is a great family movie and I really recommend it if you don’t know what to watch with your children. The movie is funny but also rather sentimental; it is about parental love, but also about man’s happiness. We saw Larry Daily becoming a night guard at a …

“Daredevil” is a 2003 movie starring Ben Affleck as Daredevil, The Man Without Fear. Daredevil is my all-time favorite Marvel Comics superhero, and I watched this movie the first time with high hopes. My high hopes were dashed by the first viewing, but I probably still like …

Arrow is an extremely popular TV Show. It’s well into its 3rd season and it’s as amazing as it was when it first started in October of 2012. The series has become such a favourite with people that a spin-off TV show, The Flash, debuted this past October. Both shows …

I was a bit apprehensive about whether this remake would be as good as the original. But then I realize that this film was made by the same director. It is then that I realized that all the nuances were the same as the first …

I absolutely love old black and white horror flicks and, because of this, think Creature from the Black Lagoon is an often-overlooked classic.
Filmed in 1954, the movie focuses on a group of scientists who are terrorized by a creature that is half-man, half fish and possibly the missing link …

I saw “The Fisher King” recently and found it was great entertainment. I’ve always been a sucker for Robin Williams craziness and this is one of the craziest. Add to that Terry Gilliam as director and one would expect a completely wacky movie good for many laughs, but not …

I watched ‘The Golden Compass’ last night the movie felt rather long, and I was entertained from the start, I was a bit thrown off by all the children in the movie, but it was an enjoyable film, I would say its “Family safe” just a bit of rude humor, …

I can not portray how thoroughly disappointed I was in this movie. I very rarely get my husband to watch anything that is Oscar nominated. After watching this movie it will be a very long time before I get him to watch anything like that again. The plot …

I just finished reading Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol to my daughter and she said she would love to see a movie about it. Wanting to find a movie that gave justice to the book yet wasn’t too scary for her, I finally settled on Mickey’s Christmas Carol.
The thing …

I watched a movie the other night that I really couldn’t get into at all. It was called Vanishing Point and featured some actors I had never heard of. I don’t usually discriminate when it comes to independent or B list actors, if you can act, i’ll watch your …

If you like family dramas, independent films and road trip movies like me, you might find yourself liking the movie Nebraska. It’s different from a lot of other films I’ve seen, the plot is exciting even though it’s simple and it strives to be realistic.

When the movie begins, we see …

I must admit that I wasn’t expecting much out of the movie “The Shawshank Redemption”. At the time I wasn’t aware that this movie was nominated for 7 Oscars. I felt that after watching endless episodes of the TV series “Prison Break”, I doubted that there was any prison …

Storm Warning is easily one of the best horror movies that I’ve seen in a long time, which is ironic considering that it isn’t really a horror movie, at least not in the traditional sense. If a magazine were to review this movie they would probably say it falls …

Maybe Logic is a documentary on the life and thought of Robert Anton Wilson. Wilson is best known for his “Illuminatus Trilogy” written with Robert Shea (The Illuminatus Trilogy was, prior to watching this documentary, my only contact with the work of the man).

This DVD release unfortunately is no better than the season set DVD releases for the show. There are no special features or bonus extras. All that’s on this DVD is eight episodes from the second season of the show. I had hoped when renting this DVD that because there …

I went in expecting this movie to be as funny as its prequel (Dumb and Dumber), which released 20 years ago. It didn’t quite live up to my expectations but nevertheless it was funny. It was extremely ‘dumb’ enough to invoke laughter throughout the film. The film has done extremely …

Torn Apart stars Tia Carrere and several nobodies.
I love Tia Carrere in action movies. I thought that this movie would only support my feelings, but I was wrong. Though she has not aged well, she does continue to be sexy wearing the black tank …

I think that the movie “Iron Man 3″ is spectacular and in a great way ends the trilogy of the character of Iron Man, unless they make a fourth movie. I felt that the story in this movie in a great way continues the events from the second part …

As a huge Harry Potter fan, I was very impatient for this movie, especially because Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book. I had heard there would be a new director so I was worried that it would not live up to my expectations. It …

It was curious at first what the box is all about until Mr. Steward came back …

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 …

I have never watched the show Get Smart; even though it has been on television in re-runs for decades. Yet, for some reason, when I saw the movie based on the series “The Nude Bomb,” I figured I would watch it.
I didn’t even get halfway through it before I …

I’ve seen Renée Zellweger do comedy from the Bridget Jones series, do drama from the movie Cold Mountain and Cinderella Man, and a little bit of both in New in Town and lots more movies she’s been so famous for, but for the first time ever I was surprised …

The stupids is my personal favorite comedy. It is one of the most demented and funniest movies I’ve ever seen. This movie stars Tom Arnold (just to give you an idea of what kind of movie this is) as Mr. Stupid someone who is convinced that someone is stealing …

Ella Enchanted is somewhat of a cross between Cinderella and Shrek. We have a modernized fantasy world with ogres, elves, giants, taxi carriages and man-powered wooden escalators. And we have a teenage girl Ella who lives with a step mother and (of course) her two evil daughters. However, there …

One of Alfred Hitchcock’s minor works tells a chilling story about murders, innocently accused men and all of the standard Hitchcock components. The difference between this and North by northwest for instance, is that Mr Hitchcock must have been very uninspired when he did this. Either that or that …

I got bored last night and once again decided to watch a movie that had been on our DVR for a while. I ended up settling for the film Wes Craven Presents: They.

“Enchanted” is a fantastic musical film for all those who believe in dreams and fairytales. In a nutshell, this film is a modern day fairytale partly filmed and partly animated. I have noticed that the same concept of filming was used also in the recent “Alving and the Chipmunks” …

No one is more surprised than I am that Underdog is actually a good little movie. As a rule, I don’t like remakes or re-thinks that mess with the history of something I loved as a child, and I did love watching the Underdog cartoons as a kid.
Underdog …

This is a remake of the original, 1961 “The Parent Trap”. Unlike many remakes, it is actually good. Two girls meet at a summer camp: Hallie Parker from California and Annie James from London. To their utter amazement, they look like twins. Neither one knew she had a twin …
