Last night I was able to walk down to the local movie theatre and view “The New World.” This was a film I was pretty excited about to see because it was rarely released to local theatres, plus Christian Bale was in it.
Well, I don’t drink alcohol, but …

A mediocre, predictable thriller with quite a few plotholes and not the best acting. Ruby (Leelee Sobieski), a 16 year old girl, and her brother Rhett (Trevor Morgan) are orphaned when their parents die in a car accident. A wealthy couple adopts them, supposedly according to the dead parents …

Synopsis: Tokyo Japan is under attack by a previously extinct dinosaur that is awakened by the H-Bomb and is now looking to destroy the city.
What I liked about this movie: Godzilla is one of the all-time classic monsters and even my 5-year-old knew who he was before even seeing …

I’m slowly becoming more disappointed with the way comedy movies are going in the United States. There was a time where I could go to the movies (a comedy) and find myself laughing hysterically for a good hour and a half. Now I find myself staring at the screen …

I recently went to the cinema to see Django Unchained - having already seen the trailer, I was quite fascinated by it.
I must say that it was money well spent. The movie is fairly long (almost three hours), but it keeps you alert, thanks to its plot, its music …

There was a point in my life where I stayed clear of a lot of 3D animated movies because of two reasons. The first was that I stupidly thought that traditional 2D animation seemed to be becoming obsolete, as well as I just plain didn’t like a lot of …

A wealthy, ruthless TV executive is the focus of this modern day remake of the classic tale of the story of Scrooge. As the story goes, this person is cold hearted and career driven to the point that no one likes to be around him yet alone work with …

I only watched The Guardian because one of the main stars is Kevin Costner. I’ve liked him for a long time, even though not all of his movies have been the best. I knew from the previews that Ashton Kutcher was in the movie too, but I still wanted …

I have a netflix subscription but I no longer see many movies in the theater so often I check out a movie 6 months after it came out through netflix but I have no idea about the movie and don’t remember any of the press for it so …

I generally enjoy the superhero movies, but this one has something extra. It’s more realistic for those who just can’t get into the far-fetched fantasy scenarios of X-Men or Spider-Man. It doen’t try to be overly serious, nor does lack depth. It’s a perfect combination of sweet action, …

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 26 starts off with Ed and Ling battling Envy, who has assumed his true form and they’re fighting for their lives while Al follows Gluttony to where Father is. May Chang discovers that Shao May was separated from her in the fighting and sees …

I had never heard of the crime drama film “Snatch” until years after it was released in the early 2000s. It stars the famous actor Brad Pitt, and the movie is about two men working as boxing promoters who realize that they can make a lot of money …

Elisha Cuthbert, Daniel Gillies
MA 15+ Strong violence, blood and gore.
I should have known that this film was going to turn my stomach. I’m not the blood and gore kind of girl but I am a Roland Joffe (director of the Killing Fields) fan.
First let me say that the rating …

I waited a long time to grab a copy of this film. At last, I was able to watch it. I don’t think this movie falls into the fashion film category. Coco Avant Chanel is a biographical account of Grabrielle alias Coco Chanel’s life. It’s …

My wife and I saw the first Halloween re-make when it came out and wanted to see the sequel to it. We got a chance to do that last night.
While a decent movie, I can honestly say it didn’t live up to the first one.
I liked the fact they …

It’s the time of the year when film companies campaign for their best movies before the Oscars. I looked everywhere in the weekend papers as well as online finding the distracting line ‘for your consideration.’ Although I was not the intended target for those ads, I considered …

I watched this movie because I like David Boreanaz and have enjoyed watching him in the tv shows Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. He is a fine actor who seems to only be able to do drama and horror but he does a good job. Anyone …

I wasn’t setting the bar too high for “The Muppets,” this year’s reboot of the eponymous franchise. I basically walked in with the mere hope that Jason Segel (of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” fame) and his collaborators weren’t going to run it even further into the ground (1999’s “Muppets from …

This is either a movie you’re going to love or you’re going to hate. As such, it’s understandable why this movie got mixed reviews. What I had read had been more positive than negative so I went ahead and picked it up on DVD (this was before …

This is the third installation of the four-part series of the Twilight Saga, and it is far the most suspenseful and most action-packed yet! I had watched this movie twice in a span of 3 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The book is quite different from the …

Winner of six Academy Awards, this Rob Marshall masterpiece is just that, a masterpiece. At the height of Chicago’s jazz world, and all that goes with it, crime has become an art-form, or so says the slick Billy Flinn (Richard Gere). Crime has become sensationalized, and murder is no …

Up to 1995 we were so used of associating the actress Sandra Bullock to romantic movies. During this year, Bullock decided to show her talents in a different movie that included drama, patios and action. This is what “The Net” is all about.
The story of this movie is about …

I Am Sam is the story of a mentally challenged man who has the mind of a child and who also wants the opportunity to take care of his own child. The sad thing about this movie is this, his daughter is more advanced than he is and tries …

A very realistic film about british working class misery. The director Ken Loach, well known for this way of showing his sympathy for the poor and unfortunate people of society, gives a very clear and heartbreaking picture of a young boy who slowly falls into criminality. The actors are …

If you like blaxploitation films you have probably seen this one already. This one, starring Pam Grier as Sheba is one of the classics—-but not necessarily because of its cinematic greatness. Pam plays a private detective who is helping her father fight mobsters. …

I watched Elizabethtown the other night and I must say that on the cover of the DVD, Orlando Bloom looks so very much not handsome at all. But once I watch the story, I was like he’s the most sexiest and handsomest guy ever! That’s something like truly …

Man, how much cooler can you get? The 1999 movie, Armageddon, is one of my all time favorites. I love Bruce Willis. And for once, he’s not really in his Die Hard McClane character. He’s still a tough as nails oil driller named Harry Stamper who is charged with …

My cousin brought this movie by for me to watch the other day because she has been borrowing a lot of mine. I just watched it a couple of hours ago. It was a pretty good movie all around. I think it could have been better but overall it …

I only saw Bells Are Ringing for the first time in this decade. I’d always heard about it when people talked about the great Judy Holliday since this was her most identifiable film legacy. Finally, I had a chance to see it and judge for myself whether …

“Trust The Man” had to be all about the actress, Julianne Moore because, at the time, she was the one mostly known in Hollywood. Apart from this, the director and scriptwriter of this movie is Moore’s husband, Bart Freundlich. I must admit that the actor that truly steals the …

Face of evil is one of my favorite movies that lifetime movie network plays. I had seen it a long time ago but this past weekend they showed it again. I saw it on and got interested in it and watched it again because I had forgotten what happened …

The Last Legion is a must watch DVD movie starring the ever sweet and sexy Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai and also the handsome Colin Firth. What is the story about, you might wonder, and how on earth a Bollywood actress had been featured in this movie…?
Well, that’s not important. …

Hatchet is without a doubt the best horror movie I’ve seen in a long time. People kept telling me to watch the remake of Halloween or a film from the After Dark series, or even one of the foreign horror movies, but nothing kept my attention like Hatchet did. …

Nicholas Cage is my all time favorite movie star. The first time I realized this was when I watched The Rock filmed in 1996. His accent alone captures my attention. It is that slow Californian voice that sounds so cool to me. When I first …

I watched this movie a few Saturdays ago with two other members of my family, and even though I thought it could have been a little better, it certainly surpassed my expectations of what it might have been like. Based on the ads of it that I saw on …

Lovefilm is such a good way of renting DVD titles because they offer you the chance of renting online. You can rent over thousands of titles on the website. Instead of paying to try them out they hand you a free trial for two weeks! I have used their …

A refreshing new beginning for the Bond film series after several years of break after the flop of Licence to Kill in the late 80s. A new face for Bond and Pierce Brosnan immedietely became popular among the audience as he was both convincing as an action hero, and …

Nowadays, saying the name Batman actually brings up enjoyable memories. Memories of the older movies that I enjoyed and the newer movies that reinvented it. Forgetting about the failures in-between. The Dark Knight was released in 2008 and featured Batman’s worst enemy. The Joker himself. But with all the …

Tyler Perry is an amazing actor and director. I loved this movie. Diary of a Mad black woman took you through all of the emotions that one would go through when there husband cheats on you and then makes you leave like you did something wrong, you actually feel …

I am reviewing the movie, The Ninth Gate, which was released in 2000. Johnny Depp stars as Dean Corso, who is a rare book collector. He has been given the assignment to find the remaining copy of “The Nine Gates.” These volumes evidently have the power …
