Rocky Horror Picture Show
While I’ve never felt the urge to do any cross dressing, I have to admit I’m almost as big of a fan of the Rocky Horror Picture Show as many of the people who do go that far.
I had never seen this movie until I met my wife and …
The Last Airbender (2010) movie
I went and saw this with my girlfriend and her two sisters since they were all die hard viewers of the show as kids and have been excited about this movie since they laid eyes on the previews. So I had to say at first I was caught up …
Drive Movie 2011
What is it with the movie Drive that has taken the movie world by storm? I just saw it two nights ago and I must say, this has truly reminded me of an 80’s genre flick. Just the intro alone, the music, the skyline shot, the dramatic scene of …
Eurotrip Movie
I have probably seen Eurotrip a dozen times by now. It’s one of those movies you just have to see all over again. Love and friendship are perfectly combined in this excellent comedy which consists of a trip of a bunch of high-school graduates all over Europe.
The movie shows …

Lost in Space (1998 Film)
The 1998 film “Lost in Space” starring Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers and Heather Graham is a sci-fi thriller that is pretty much guaranteed to not only give the viewers a strong dose of the supernatural, but an entertaining plot that is simple and enjoyable to follow.
Despite the fact that …
The Phantom of the Opera (2004 version)

The modern day effect in a classic war epic! Based on the actual historical event of 300 Spartans facing, for sure death, defend there freedom and there land against the will of the older oracles! The characters performance is unreal they all look like body builders and you can …
Les Miserables movie (1998)
One of my favourite CLaire Danes movies is the movie “Les Miserables” which was released in the year nineteen ninety eight even though I have read a number of bad reviews about it from other people. I also saw the actress UMa Thurman in the movie and actor Geoffrey …

Big
I really enjoyed watching Big. I saw this movie as a kid and I will never forget it. I think this movie was very well done and has a nice warm feeling inside. I think that this movie is great for families to watch together. Big stars Tom Hanks and …
Stargate
Since the dawn of movie making, there have always been a few actors that take weird, off the wall, ecentric roles instead of traditional leading men or leading lady roles. Such is true with current Boston Legal actor, James Spader. He appeared in a great 1994 film called Stargate …
Matilda (1996)

Altered
I first watched this low budget movie, Altered during the year 2006. A bunch of friends had managed to return safely to their hometown but all’s not that well actually because one of them was ‘retained’ by the aliens since they chose only 1 out of them all.
I think …
Movie: Goblin
My wife and I had a bit of free time yesterday afternoon and went through some of the movies we had recorded on our DVR.
One of these movies was one from the SyFy Channel called Goblin. It sounded somewhat interesting so we decided to watch it.
It was definitely somewhat …
Superman The Movie
There are bigger budget superhero movies today but the first Superman movie is still the one they need to live up to.
This film is a classic and it was the role Christopher Reeve was born to play. It did a great job explaining Superman’s origins and childhood while still …
Bratz
When we rented the movie Bratz, we figured it would be something our daughter would enjoy since she collects the toys. Turns out, she didn’t even watch five minutes of this live-action film and my wife and I were left with the feeling we’ve seen it before.
The movie focuses …

Meet the Spartans (2008)
This movie is a spoof of the Frank Miller’s telling of the tale of the Spartans, the movie known as 300. Basically everything from start to finish about this movie is similar to 300 with the exception of that it’s a pun of the movie. In addition, almost everything …

The movie Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory
What child has never wished they could have as much candy as they wanted? I think that if adults were honest with themselves they would realize that not only was this a dream of theirs as a child, there are still times as an adult that they wish …
The Number 23
The Number 23 is a movie starring Jim Carrey. Carrey plays a serious role in the movie. He has really managed to make the transition from comedic actor to serious actor. He is very good in the role of Walter Sparrow, an ordinary man who becomes obsessed with the …

My Husband and I liked and own the first 300 movie (called The 300). For those who have never seen it, it tells the tale of the battle of 300 lone Spartan soldiers against a huge army and the powerful Xerxes. We watch the original 300 fairly frequently and …
Miss Conception
I had never heard of the movie Miss Conception until I came acrossed it on Netflix the other day. And, to be honest, when I decided to get it, I didn’t have any idea what it was I was getting.
As it turns out, it was actually a pretty good …

I find horror movies interesting to watch. I cannot watch it when I am alone. Last week me and my friend went to the mall and saw this movie Drag me to Hell was being showed in the movie theaters. The movie is very horrifying and we screamed at …
Dead Mans Shoes (2004)
I was just about to go to bed when I thought I would watch the first ten minutes of ‘Dead Man’s Shoes’ to see what it was like. I thought it was probably just a silly, violent action film or something but I spent the rest of the …
Shawn of the Dead
It took a long time for me to watch Shawn of the Dead, because I thought it would simply be one of those stupid satires on horror movies, similar to Scary Movie and its sequels, and I am not very fond of those films. But, a few years ago, …

Constantine (the Movie)
I watched Constantine (with Keanu Reeves) for the fifth or sixth time again last night. Every time I watch it, this movie seems to get better. Even though it came out in 2005, it still doesn’t cease to impress me and I think it will always remain to be …
My Fair Lady movie
One of the most classical musicals of all time is the marvelous My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. I can’t even imagine anyone but Harrison in this movie. I’m so used to his style of talk-singing that it all seems very logical and natural …
Paranormal Activity movie
Last night I watched the movie Paranormal Activity. From the moment the movie began I thought, “Oh no this movie is so cheaply made.” However I decided I’d give it a chance since I’d heard so many great things about it.
From the beginning when they set the camera …
Husbands and Wives (1992) Woody Allen Movie
I would give Woody Allen’s ‘Husbands and Wives’ ten out of ten for being completely perfect, but you will hate it if you have to have a Hollywood ending. This is kind of awkward viewing. It has a rather serious, dramatic feel to it and the humour …
The Green Man movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Green Man, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy. This movie was made in 2003, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novel written by author Caroline Graham.
In this movie, The Green …

Movie Cloverfield
I finally had a chance to watch Cloverfield on DVD. I have to admit, it was not exactly what I was expecting.
I was expecting a real story with enough footage that I could actually see what was happening, not another attempt at the Blairwitch Project. Just …
Get Shorty
WHen I saw the movie “Be Cool” come out in 2005, I had a hard time understanding it even though it was only bits and pieces at different times that I watched. Thus, when I heard that it was actually a sequel to the movie “Get Shorty” which I …

xXx: State of the Union movie
If you have ever seen the first xXx (Triple X) movie, you cannot deny that it really did not need a sequel. This one stars Ice Cube as the new, more intense xXx. C’mon…this movie is substandard and really disappointing, not to mention, very distressing to watch. There is …
Time Changer
