Ice Age 2
I’ll start out by saying Ice Age 2 is a good family movie and is certainly enjoyable.
However, after watching it this weekend, I felt very unsatisfied.
The first Ice Age was a unique and funny movie. The second one was poorly scripted and didn’t seem to have as much …

My son and I went to see a movie this evening. I have to say this was one of the worst movies I have seen in a long long time. My son enjoyed the movie,he thought it was funny.

Andrew Niccol’s Gattaca: A Science Fiction Movie
My husband is a science fiction fan. I don’t particularly go for the science fiction genre necessarily but there are movies in it that I like (Water World for example). We were at home watching television not so long ago when he saw that this movie, Gattaca, was …
Jumanji movie
Jumanji was one of the movies I wanted to see in the theater, but wasn’t able to. From 1995, it stars Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst, Bradley Pierce, Adam Hann-Byrd, and Laura Bell Bundy. It’s actually a nice adventure for children who aren’t afraid of monsters …
Blood Diamond movie
Before I watched the movie “Blood Diamond” I don’t think I had ever heard about the war over diamonds coming from the African country Sierre Leon. In fact, I think people always seemed to be a bit more focused on genocide in other African countries. One thing that the …
The Social Network (movie 2010)
Facebook is a worldwide phenomenon that has hit almost every person, every nation and every computer in the whole world. With nearly billions of registered netizens, Facebook might even rank next to China if it were a country. So where exactly did this virtual sensation started? It all began …

Naural Radiance Daily Moisturizer does more than just enrich your skin. It contains a darkening agent which slightly tans your skin with prolonged use. Unlike most sunless tanning moisturizer creams, Natural Radiance Daily Moisturizer will not leave your skin with an orange hue.
I had used this product once before, …
Dead Poets Society
“Dead Poets Society” is a brilliant 1997 drama starring Robin Williams as professor John Keating, who arrives to teach at a conservative college in the ultra-conservative 1950s. This is one of Williams’ best performances in his career.
Pros: The movie is wonderful. Williams is likeable and goofy while …
13 Conversations About One Thing (R, 2002) movie
If you are looking for a terrific ensemble film with a great storyline, look no further than the movie “13 Conversations About One Thing”. Honestly, I have not put much thought into the title other than to realize that the stories within are interconnected in a really subtle, …
Kung Fu Panda
One of the most entertaining and lesson-filled computer animated movies I’ve watched would be Kung Fu Panda. A 2008 offering from Dreamworks starring Jack Black as the voice of the main character, Po, the panda who’s crazy about kung fu. He knows everything about kung fu except that he …
Movie Vanished
I have remembered this movie, Vanished, since I first saw it, but it’s been quite a while. I can’t find it anywhere, and it’s never on TV. It’s really frustrating, but it was so good to watch. The plot intrigued me, and it’s stayed with me …

Hancock
After watching the movie “Hancock”, you will understand immediately while Will Smith expressed interest in interpreting this role. “Hancock” is a superhero movie without the superhero clichés. This together with the talent of actors, Charlize Theron and Jason Batman and great action moments, make this movie one of this …

This Oscar nominated film delves into disturbing territory- it’s plot concerns a young schoolteacher who seeks refuge from a boring marriage and two difficult children in the arms …
Dorothy Mills movie
I am a big fan of horror movies, but not gore. Most movies with tons of gore seem to use it as a substitute for plot or character development. When I find a movie that is genuinely creepy without resorting to gore or cheap scares, I take notice.
Dorothy …
Jumanji
Almost ten years ago there was this movie that starred Robin WIlliams, in a movie that was called Jumanji.

Pterodactyl (2005) movie
I wanted to see this movie for a long time as I like dinosaur movies and it turned out to be rather decent! Yes, it’s not exactly another Jurassic Park but the movie has a solid enough plot and the pterodactyls looked pretty good. The only real hitch is …

Movie Toy Story
Although its not my favorite Pixar movie, Toy Story is such an important film because it started Pixar’s rise to greatness. Toy Story was made in 1995, but is still a visual treat for the eyes 13 years later. Toy Story is a modern classic that may be …
American Reunion (2012 movie)
After seven films of the American Pie series, an average fan would say there is nothing much more to be offered.
Well, I am not a fan, but whatever dissapointments there were with the previous seven if there were some at all, I could …
Avatar (2009 film)
Making the highest grossing film of all times is James Cameron’s trademark ability in the moviemaking industry. Avatar indeed delivers visual greatness of unseen scope just like Titanic did in 1997. Truth remains that the visuals are not enough to make a movie Number 1 at the box office. …
Wall-E Movie Bluray
I am doing a review of the movie Wall-E in Bluray format.
Here are just a few things that I really loved about this movie that I think make it worth getting:
First off is the cool visual effects that they did for the ships rocketing off, ect. I believe that …
The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
I expected more from this movie. Yes, it was nice to see Johnny Depp as the funny Captain Jack Sparrow again, and Orlando Bloom as Will Turner with his sword fighting, and of course the beautiful Keira Knightley as Elizabeth. But the story was empty to me. From the …
Halloween II (2009) Feature Film
Halloween II is the newest remake of the Halloween movies by Rob Zombie. It is a bit hard to follow if you are a fan of the series. This is the sequel to the first remake of Halloween made by Rob Zombie and it makes sense …
Tenth Avenue Angel movie
Tenth Avenue Angel is the film that introduced me to Margaret O’Brien when I was a kid. I remember it playing on television numerous times in my youth, and I always watched it. It was a movie that always pulled on my heartstrings. The movie was …
Millennium movie
From 1989, this science fiction movie speaks to me for some reason, and I really don’t know why. There’s just something about it that makes me want to watch it, over and over again … and I do.
Millennium stars Kris Kristofferson as Bill Smith, who as a young …

Robin Hood: Men in Tights movie
I love Mel Brooks movies and I have to say Robin Hood: Men in Tights has to be his very best film.
Cary Elwes puts on a very good performance as Robin Hood and, even though this is a parody, may actually be the best Robin Hood I’ve ever seen …
Stargate SG-1 - Broca Divide
“Broca Divide” is the fourth episode of the first season of “Stargate SG-1″. It’s an all-time fan favorite, and I love it. There are several notable events about this episode.

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 …
Robocop (1987 movie)
Gracefully working its way unto the silver screen, then to VHS, eventually making its way to DVD…Robocop has affixed itself as one of the greatest movies of all time.
Whether you have seen it before all the way back in 1987 or whether you see it today, none can deny …
Baby Mama
I’ve seen plenty of movies about giving birth before. But, I have to admit the film Baby Mama was one that offered a unique take on the miracle of life.
Rather than your typical husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend having a baby movie, this film features an adventure involving a surrogate mother …
Hotels for Dogs Movie
I think this is a really cute wholesome movie; it features a lot of dogs and if you’re a dog lover (or an animal lover) you should watch this, other than that, if you’re not and you can’t appreciate loving pets, then don’t watch. This movie features Emma Roberts …
Disney’s Cars 2 Movie
I recently took my almost 2 year old son to see Cars 2. He is a huge Cars fan, so of course he was very excited to know he would be seeing McQueen and Mater. Unfortunately though, I believe Cars 2 is more geared towards an older audience and …

Hall Pass (movie)
I didn’t find the comedy “Hall Pass” to be as hilarious as some reviewers made it out to b. To me it was moderately funny, which was much better than I expected a comedy starring “Owen Wilson” to be since I usually think his comedies are lacking in humour. …
Netflix Online
It’s time to put Blockbuster behind us.
Here’s why:
Selection. It doesn’t matter whether you like horror, comedy, romance, or history movies– Netflix has it all.
The price is reasonable. You know how much it costs to rent a movie at your local store, it’s outrageous. If you watch more than four …
Avenger Episode 3 (Anime)
Avenger Episode 3 begins with bounty hunters coming after Layla on orders from Lord Volk. Nei and Speedy are caught in the middle and have to escape being captured.
