Fool’s Gold
Fool’s Gold is a movie that stars Kate Hudson and Mathew Matthew McConaughey, a follow up from their successful pair up in How to Lose a guy in ten days. I can say not a successful follow up though. Yes, the film is entertaining and funny in some parts …

Heathers (movie)
I might not see her in many movies now, especially after her shoplifting stunt a couple of years ago but once upon a time, Winona Ryder was one of my favourite actors. I especially liked a couple of her films from the eighties, some of which I could watch …
Love Actually movie
I normally hate watching romance films, but since my friend fooled me that the actor Orlando Bloom was in the movie I ended up watching the movie to the end and feeling very annoyed and disappointed after as he obviously never appeared. The only thing which comforted me a …
Mean Girls
In the movie “Mean Girls” we see the actress, Lindsay Lohan learning how to be mean after she starts to get a hard time at school. “Mean Girls” is a good teen movie; however it doesn’t represent the best interpretation from Lindsay Lohan.
“Mean Girls” portraits a situation that really …
Stargate SG-1 - The Enemy Within
The second episode of the TV series Stargate SG-1 was called “The Enemy Within”. It’s a transition episode really from the pilot movie to the series itself. It’s not a big favorite of mine, probably because it is still struggling with getting all its eggs in its …
Reign Over Me (2007)
Director: Mike Binder. Featuring Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle, Jada Pinkett Smith, Liv Tyler, Saffron Burrows and Donald Sutherland.
I thought it was a really good movie, although definitely not easy to watch. When I saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be more on a comedy side. The fact …
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. …
I Love You Phillip Morris (2010) Movie
I do not have issues watching movies about gay people. This is one of those movies that I wanted to see because it stars Jim Carrey and Ewan Macgregor. I Love You Phillip Morris is about a gay man who wanted to lead a normal life with a normal …

Mama (supernatural horror movie)
“Mama” might was not a very good or frightening horror movie. In actuality I actually thought that it came off as quite boring, predictable and cliche at times. I am one of Guillermo del Toro’s fans and I expected a lot more from a movie associated with him even …
Shutter movie
I watched this movie yesterday with my sister. It’s about this man and a woman who are newlyweds. The husband is a photographer and they go to Japan. Once they go to Japan, the husband starts to take photographs… on every photograph that they take there is a white …
The Passion of the Christ

Pink Panther 2
My family loved the first Pink Panther movie starring Steve Martin (I actually enjoyed the originals too) so we couldn’t wait to see the sequel last night. In fact, it was in our DVD player 5 minutes after I got home from work.
It was an OK movie but it …
Movie Man of the Year
I wasn’t sure what to think when they cast Robin Williams as a presidential candidate in the movie Man of the Year. But, after watching the film last night, I do think it is better than I expected it to be; though I’m not sure its his best film.
Williams …
Kid Galahad movie
Kid Galahad was released one year after Blue Hawaii. I’m sure I didn’t get the connection then and in truth, it’s been many, many years since I’ve actually watched this movie. Now, I saw it several times through adolescence but I really think it’s been a long, …
Inception Movie
A day before watching the movie “Inception” by Christopher Nolan (the director of the Dark Knight trilogy) something happened to me very strange - I dreamed that I dream about dreaming. The next night I barely slept. I say all this because normally I have troubles sleeping and this …
Speed Racer, action film
If there was one movie I wish I would have seen in IMAX, it would have been this movie. Speed Racer on Blu-Ray is probably one of the best looking high-def movies available and, much like Crank, should be a part of any Videophile’s collection. But, I’m getting ahead …
Film Mary Poppins
One of the most magical films ever made, and also one of those entertaining ones that magage to make a point about life besides, Disney’s Mary Poppins truly never ages but can be enjoyed equally as much as an adult as when a child. Actually, there are things in …

Darby O’Gill and the Little People movie

The Road (John Hillcoat, 2010) movie
This is one of those movies that I would rate pretty highly, but can’t actually recommend. You would recommend a film by saying something like “Yeh, it’s great - go see it.” or ‘Yeh, it’s really funny” or “Yeh, it’s really romantic and sweet” etc etc.
For The Road I …
Don Juan De Marco movie
I had thought I had seen all of Johnny Depp’s movies until I came across this one in Netflix. And, I was glad I found it.
This has to be one of Depp’s best roles (even though he didn’t get top billing for the movie; Marlon Brando did). He plays …
Lake Placid 2
Lake Placid 2 is one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a long time, which is strange because the movie isn’t supposed to be funny. It stars John Schneider from Dukes of Hazard as a small town sheriff is Maine. His ex-girlfriend comes to town to investigate rumors …

Daisies movie
Daisies is a Czech film about two girls, best friend, and their everyday life. With the most lively images, this story is told in a most unconventional and experimental way. It’s not the common narrative you see in a Hollywood movie. No, Daisies is more fixed on the moods …
Lego Batman: The Movie
With the recent “Lego” movie thriving at the box office, I decided to take a look back at its quasi-official predecessor, a direct to video movie that tied into the “Lego Batman” video game franchise, more specifically, the sequel that brought in several of the other heroes that inhabit …

13 Going on 30
When I first rented 13 Going on 30, my first thought was, this is going to be a lot like the movie “Big.” I was glad I was wrong about it.
Jennifer Garner does a great job portraying a 13-year-old girl who wishes she was 30 back in the 80s …

Without a Clue
I am reviewing the movie, Without a Clue, a Sherlock HOlmes movie starring Ben Kingsley as Dr. Watson, and Michael Caine as Sherlock Holmes. This movie was produced in 1988. This movie is quite different from any Sherlock Holmes film you’ve scene. What’s the main difference, you ask? …
Open the Door Richard movie short
I have no idea how to even describe this 1945 movie short called Open the Door Richard. It’s a strange production that I just don’t understand. It features Dusty Fletcher and the infamous Richard, if only in spirit.
I just don’t know what to say, or should I …

Melancholia (2011 film)
Lars Von Trier is a spectacular film-maker for many reasons-his meaningful, charismatic, dark and devouring style, but what really makes his movies memorable is the fact how despairing and the amount of negative feelings that Melancholia for instance arouses with me. I am not stating that …
A Serbian Film, DVD Erotic Thriller Film

Red Sands movie
