Doctor Dolittle
Doctor Dolittle is a delightful musical that has stood up through the test of time as an entertaining film. Oddly, when released in 1967, it didn’t do well. Musicals were sadly on their way out, and Doctor Dolittle was one of the victims. However, it’s become …
Blockbuster Video
Although I don’t watch a lot of DVD movies, perhaps 2 a week at the most, I do like to be able to rent the movies I want to see when I want to see them, not weeks later. I generally don’t make it to the movie theatre more …

I loved this movie, it kept me very interested throughout the whole movie. It is about a man who goes under surgery and is supposed to be asleep but he isn’t all the way asleep, he can feel what the doctors are doing and hear them talking. The movie …
Charlie Bartlett movie
Once in a while a teen coming of age movie comes along that I really like, and “Charlie Bartlett” became one of those. In fact, I marveled that I did not hear about it before when it was obvious that the movie was released fairly recently. It starred actors …
Half a dozen babies
This was an alright movie overall. I found it to be a little funny if anything. I didn’t really care for it all that much. It’s kind of a chick movie. It’s about this couple that want to have babies and they can’t seem to get pregnant, well they …
The Forbidden Kingdom movie
The Forbidden Kingdom starring kung fu masters Jackie Chan and Jet Li for the first time together on the same screen. When I first went into the movie theatre I think I overhyped the movie. After watching the whole movie in it’s entirety, I was actually disappointed …

Einstein’s God Model (Sci-fi thriller Movie)
Einstein’s God Model is a Science fiction thriller film written and directed by Philip T. Johnson.
I really don’t know what to make of this film. It’s confusingly interesting, if you know what I mean. It doesn’t matter actually because I don’t really get all the science mumbo jumbo physic theories …
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
I know at my age it would sound ridiculous but I really like this movie. I wanted to believe even just for two hours that I could go to a place like this. Where in I could walk around both indoor and outdoor and all I can …

X Men cartoon series
The X men cartoon TV show is very good. I really love this show. This is probably one of the most exciting and action packed TV shows ever made. And I use to wake up early just to see it every Saturday morning.
I think the story lines and plots …
Marooned movie
Marooned isn’t a big favorite of mine, but there’s something about it that when I start watching it, it’s hard to turn off. I normally love space-age movies, but sometimes they seem a bit off. While that’s the case here, the acting in some cases is so …
Hostel: Part II (2007)
Three American female students are lured to a hostel in Slovakia where terrible things happen to people. Pickup up from where the first one left off, this sequel as most sequels do, does not live up to the previous movie.
While on the train to Prague, they encounter bad mannered …
Behind Enemy Lines Movie
I have never seen Owen Wilson do quite a serious part such as a soldier/sniper and in this movie he did a very good job, he was a Lieutenant here Gene Hackman was also there as Owen’s admiral and commander. I say Owen did a great part here because …
The Marsh movie
I always get a bit nervous when I rent a movie I have never heard about before; especially one that advertises itself as a thriller. After all, you never know what you’re going to get and it’s even harder to guess if you don’t have any previews to work …
Cold Souls Movie
Cold Souls is an excellent independent film to sink your teeth into. Paul Giamatti does an excellent job, as usual, of playing a flawed and likeable character, only this time the character is himself. The plot is quite simple, Paul is an actor who needs help disengaging from the …

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. …
Pretty Woman
I’m not sure what exactly the draw is for me but whenever the movie Pretty Woman is on television, I just have to watch it.
Maybe I’m just a closet Julia Roberts fan but I just can’t get enough of a Cinderella story that has a prostitute and millionaire falling …
Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 movie)
I wanted to watch “Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” ever since it was released because of how exciting it looked when it was advertising to be released in theatres.
The movie was about the thousand year quest of a master sorcerer named Balthazar, to find a young man who will …
Film Halloween
The last time I saw the 1978 version of Halloween, I was a pre-teen and, to be perfectly honest, couldn’t remember much about the movie.
It was on one of our movie channels last night so I decided to watch it with my wife while we were waiting for Project …
Jurassic World - Sci-Fi Adventure Movie (2015)
Jurassic World is an amazing movie. Fortunately I chose to watch this movie in 3D. In 3D, you can’t help but feel slightly terrified by the roars of the dinosaurs as they attack and wreak havoc. I was hooked the entire 2 hours of the movie and can’t wait for …

Blame It On Rio movie (1984)

Jackass Number Two (2006)
Similar to the first movie, this second installation into the Jackass franchise is just a bunch of segments put together to give us a feature length movie that has no plot direction of any kind. If you are familiar with the TV series and the first movie, you are …

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
When I first saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom back in 1984, I was disappointed. It had none of the exciting elements that made Raiders so successful. The biggest missing elements are the supporting cast. Brody was clearly a mentor to Dr. Jones. And Marion, the love …
Happy Feet Movie
Australian Director’s Animated Comedy ‘Happy Feet’ can best be described as just a fun, somewhat funny, family comedy. Lets clear from the very beginning, that while this film did win the Best Animated Film Oscar, it is not exactly the most satisfying movie experience. There is not much in …
My Bloody Valentine (2009)
I got around to finally watching the remake of the 1981 movie “My Bloody Valentine.”
I normally like slasher flicks and, because of the nature of the movie, give them a little more in terms of consideration when it comes to the plot. But, this movie wasn’t very good.
You have …
The Killer (movie) July, 2006
This is really one stupid movie that I have ever watched. The movie titled The Killer is a complete out and out copy of Collateral. It released on 21st July, 2006. I expected it to be some kind of a better movie as it is a Mahesh Bhatt production. …

Wreck It Ralph Movie
Disney pretty much nailed it with this movie in every way possible. I can safely say it does not target a specific audience but rather promotes interest in all age ranges. It is rated PG and I can understand why by I urge you not to deter …
Ocean’s Eleven
Based on the 1960 film of the same title and directed by acclaimed director of such films as Traffic and Erin Brockovich, Steven Soderbergh, Ocean’s Eleven is a cool hi-tech comedy. Starring some of Hollywood’s most popular actors, it’s the story of Danny Ocean (George Clooney), a newly released …

Clash Of the titans
In my opinion Clash of the titans is not all it is hyped up to be by all the reviews, it didn’t seem as enticing as most action/adventure movies seem to be. It is about mythology so you would expect there to be a lot of fighting, also it …
