Evelyn
Evelyn with Pierce Brosnan, Stephen Rea, and Aidan Quinn.
I must admit that since enjoying Brosnan in the role as James Bond, I find myself enjoying any other role I see him in. This movie is based upon a real life story about an abandoned unemployed …
Alien 2 Aliens Special Edition 1986 BluRay Movie
When I got Alien 1 on Blu-Ray, I continued my collection with Aliens 1986 Special Edition. I loved the original movie and when my fears were quieted about the Alien films being changed with the Special Editions or Director’s Cuts, I was looking forward to seeing what was added …
Gone With the Wind 70th Anniversary Limited Edition box set
Gone With the Wind 70th Anniversary Limited Edition box set was my Valentine’s Day present in 2010. I love this movie very much. I am uncertain love is a strong enough word for how I feel about this movie. I respect it for the time period …
The Clone Wars film
“The Clone Wars” is a 2008 film with the computer animated characters who would later appear on “The Clone Wars” TV series on The Cartoon Network. The movie essentially acts as an introduction to the main characters and the conflicts you will expect to see in the series. …
Movie “Dreamcatcher” (2003)
I am so in love with netflix and the ability to watch movies and tv instantly. Since I don’t have to wait for a movie to come in the mail I am much more willing to try out a movie I have never heard of before. This …
Up in the Air: the movie
I had heard good things about the movie Up in the Air, including that it had been nominated for an Academy award for best picture. Also, I like George Clooney, who starred in the movie. So this was a movie I wanted to see in the theater, …
School of Rock
I don’t normally like the actor Jack Black in movies, and I don’t normally like his movies either. In fact, one of the few which I remember liking was “Saving Silverman”. This is why I found it so difficult to watch the movie “School of Rock” after it was …
Hi Fidelity film
This is one of my favourite films, and it’s based on a book by one of my favourite authors, Nick Hornby. It stars John Cusack, as Rob, a hapless record store owner who is obsessed by lists. After his relationship breaks down he lists his five most …
The Nativity Story
I am reviewing the movie, The Nativity Story. I’m not sure who the actors are in this movie but they all did a good job. The Nativity Story follows the story of Mary and Joseph, and the birth of Jesus. It also follows King Herrod and his crazy quest …
Walking Tall
I saw Walking Tall the other day, and I must say it’s very funny. I really thought The Rock did a good job in this movie. He was very violent and kicked butt in this movie. Walking Tall is about a small town that has been turned evil by drugs. …
My Best Friend’s Wedding
At the time this movie was launch at the cinemas, it was labelled as another Julia Roberts movie. However this movie was much more then that! “My Best Friend’s Wedding” is one of the best romantic movies of all time and at the same time it was the first …
The Roommate (2011 Movie)
I knew The Roommate wasn’t going to be a spectacular film or even an original horror from the trailer, but the trailers made it look like a fun horror movie to go see with friends. Although the dialogue is terrible and the movie is extremely predictable if you’ve ever …
The Ocean’s Trilogy, 3 caper comedies films by Steven Soderbergh
There seems to be a trend happening in Hi-Def releases. I guess it’s more to entice people to buy movies they already own, but I’ve noticed that studios are releasing Trilogies bundled with very little added special content. Yeah, I guess they’ve been doing this with plain old DVD. …
Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey (1988 Film)
The 1988 film starring Sigourney Weaver called “Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey” was something that surprised me. Normally, I am not one to really enjoy films such as these, but this film changed my mine towards movies that capture the real life events of people …
The Last Unicorn Movie
This animated film was released in 1982, and boasts the voice talents of Angela Landsbury, Alan Arkin, Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow, and Christopher Lee.

Movie “The Mist”
I adore a movie that leaves me shaking. Any film that you watch and walk away with mentally disturbed by the plot and not because they went with a cheap method of offending you is a real gem. Lots of movies go ahead and kill off the …
Friday
I think Friday is a great movie. The movie stars Ice Cube and he does a great job of acting in this movie. I really like the fact that this movie shows us how life in the hood really is. I think the movie was very well written and well …
Killer Klowns from Outer Space movie
The horror…the utter horror.
Not!!
This is a classic case of a mind at waste. How could they even consider making this movie and worse expect viewers to want to watch it. Well. as dumb as it is, I stood the torture and i watched it; and horrified I was. You …
The Usual Suspects
The Usual Suspects is in my opinion, one of the best and most clever movies of all time. It’s one of those movies where you don’t really fully understand what is happening until the very last frame. The story (which one an oscar for best screenplay) is …
13 Going On 30 (2004)
Jennifer Garner stars in this 2004 movie and I love catching it over again in DVD as well. She plays this particular woman whom has ‘airs above her’ and she is certainly someone that is going to learn her lesson the most hardest way. That’s because she will …
“Thor: The Dark World” movie
Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …
Out of Time movie 2003
Out of Time with Denzel Washington is an action packed, non-stop tension kind of movie.
Anything with Denzel in it tends to be good at the least—“ and this is no exception. He plays a police chief who gets himself into the most unbelievable heap of trouble you can imagine, …

Reno 911! Miami (Movie)

Freddy vs. Jason (2003) movie
When I was in middle school I was so excited to see this movie but my parents would never allow me to see it because of the gore and violence. So now many years later I decided to buy it just to see if I was missing out on …

Hard Candy movie
There are few movies which can frazzle me. I typically can shrug off any gore or suspense thrown my way. I’m not easily affected. However, every so often, a movie comes along that picks me up, slaps me in the face, twirls me around and then …
Transformer : Their War Our World Movie
At the beginning I did not interested watching this kind of movie. It was my hobby when I was a kid, so it might be a little bit funny if I want to see the robot movie. Time to time, I also knew that there were many robot movie …
Quarantine
A few years ago, The Blair Witch Project used one camera to add realism to a horror film and was so successful at doing it, other movies have tried to copy the method. Unfortunately, those movies often fail.
This was pretty much the case with the movie Quarantine. On one …

The movie Antwone Fisher was released when I was still in high school. I did not see it advertising to be released in theatres though since I was very busy at the time. However, I was finally able to see it when I saw the rest of my family …

The Secret (R, 2006) movie
You will probably recognize her as Juno’s hyper teenage BFF. But Olivia Thirlby proves otherwise in this 2006 thriller called “The Secret.” The DVD cover art may throw you off. You may think that this is some seedy Lolita movie in which the teen wraps …
I now pronounce you chuck & larry comedy

The New Guy movie
I got bored yesterday afternoon (both kids were taking naps) so I ended up watching the movie “The New Guy” again. I think I have seen that thing about a dozen times now and have to say it is still one of the funniest movies ever.
DJ Qualls is hilarious …
The Karate Kid 2010
I just watched the 2020 remake of The Karate Kid. It was an enjoyable movie. I must say though that I enjoyed the first movie the best. The remake is entertaining but not a movie that I’ll find myself watching over and over again. Not because of the …
