Stardust movie
I guess you all know Narnia,where there was an entire magical kingdom with the entrance inside a dusty drawer,or an older movie from Hallmark I think,the one with ‘the boogies’,the title escapes me now.Well,continuing,how about a magical kingdom in the same plane with reality,only separated my a small wooden …
Hatchet
When I read the description of the 2006 movie Hatchet, I figured it was going to be a low-budget film that relied heavily on blood and gore and not much on actual plot. Sadly, I was correct.
While the movie did have flashes of potential, it turned out to be …
Natural Killers DVD collection
We all know about the commercials on TV trying to sell us low quality products for a cheap $19.99 per month which gets charged straight to your credit card, and of course then we have to pay postage and handling. Then if you read the fine print you will …
George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” (1968) Film
George A. Romero is known to zombie fans as the “Godfather of All Zombies,” according to Wikipedia. His rise to fame began in 1968 with “Night of the Living Dead,” a dystopian zombie film that garnered acclaim and criticism for its grotesque scenes and nearly nihilistic ending. Though I’ve …

In Her Shoes (movie)
In Her Shoes made me like Cameron Diaz. For whatever reasons, I have never been impressed with this actor and just didn’t think that much of her. In Her Shoes changed my mind. While I still do not consider Cameron Diaz to be one of my favorite actors, she …
Movie : Date Movie (2006)
Oh how I love these kind of movies…. You know, the ones that spoof genres and imitate many films at the same time. Examples of these are ones like SCARY MOVIE, DANCE FLICK, THE NAKED GUN, NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE etc… One of the main reasons I like these …
Tattoed Life movie
This is one of Suzuki’s films that is most unlike the major part of his work. The narrative is of the same style as his other films, but here I think he goes much deeper into the personalities of his characters and gives a more moving portrait of human …
The Quiet American
I had not heard about the movie “The Quiet American” until I had seen it under an actor’s imdb profile. Thus after reading the description of it I decided to watch it for myself since it sounded like something I would probably like. I think it also portrays the …
Fight Club Movie (1999)
This is one movie which I kept watching because every time I watch it I get to see something different every time. I rented this movie from my local dvd store the store owner told me it is a movie I got to see, so I watched it last night …
People Are Funny movie
In 1946, the motion picture People Are Funny was released. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it went on to become a successful TV show. In fact, that host, Art Linkletter, appears as himself in the movie.
In a sense, the movie provides a background for the …
Men in Black 3 Movie
The dangerous alien villain Boris The Animal is very determined to get his revenge on Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) for having arrested him and blown away his arm. He escapes from a heavily guarded prison on the Moon and goes back in time in 1969, preventing his arrest, …
The Wedding Date movie
I decided to watch this movie because the trailer seemed to be an interesting story and because the actor, Dermot Mulroney had the main part. I must say that although it is a good movie, it isn’t as great as I imagined.
So what went wrong with this movie? I …
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 …
Case 39 Movie (2009)
I’ve seen Renée Zellweger do comedy from the Bridget Jones series, do drama from the movie Cold Mountain and Cinderella Man, and a little bit of both in New in Town and lots more movies she’s been so famous for, but for the first time ever I was surprised …

The Nice Guys (2016 Buddy-Comedy Film)
I am not really a huge fan of buddy-comedy movies. I particularly didn’t enjoy 21 Jump Street that I didn’t bother to check out its sequel. However, I am in a real marathon since falling in love with films recently. I have seen most of the “must-see” movies this year …
Trade (R, 2007) movie
Trade is a film which is based on real events that have been apparently taking place for years. The movie itself was derived from a 2004 article on the sex trafficking trade which exists on the country’s borders. The film begins much like a lot …
Meet the Spartans
With movie theater tickets averaging around 10 dollars, and popcorn, soda and candy averaging all together around 10 dollars as well, that all adds up to a very angry person leaving the “Meet the Spartans” theater. I think I lost brain cells watching that movie. I wanted to throw …
Rush Hour 3
It lives up to the name of rush hour and rush hour 2. If you watched the first two and liked them you will like this one. It’s a great comedy. They are both hilarious in the movie yet once again. It’s also not just a couple of funny …
Jupiter Ascending (Science Fiction Fantasy Movie)
After watching The Matrix Trilogy multiple times, I found myself looking forward to future projects from the filmmaking team Lana Wachowski who was formerly Laurence “Larry” Wachowski; and her brother Andy Wachowski. Therefore, I guess like many other people I automatically assumed that it was going to be very …
Mothman Prophecies movie

A Night to Remember movie
I watched a British Film called “A Night to Remember” which is a movie about the sinking of the Titanic. I know that there have been other movies made about the sinking of the Titanic however this was made in 1958.
Interestingly, this was made in black and white. …
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Identity is one of the best action movies around. I also believe that this movie resurrected Matt Damon’s career. He hadn’t done a good movie in a very long time (Good Will Hunting) and he is absolutely fantastic in this thriller. It differs from …
Sister Kenny movie
Rosalind Russell excels as Sister Kenny, a somewhat controversial Australian nun who came up with a treatment for polio. Based on the true story, this movie tells Elizabeth Kenny’s story of how she came upon a child with polio and began to treat her. It was the …
The Boy (2016 Horror Movie)
The first time I heard about the movie “The Boy” was when I was search through the trailers for new movies. The second time was when I saw the trailer while in the theatre waiting for another movie to begin. The concept looked creepy, so I decided that I was …
Case of the Unlucky Gamber

Cinderella movie
Compared to the thousands of other Disney films that have come out since, Cinderella is far from the best animated film ever made. However, it’s still a real treat to watch whenever you have a family movie night.
Of the dozens of re-tellings of the Cinderella story, Disney’s version is …
Blood Sport
Blood Sport is a classic fighting movie. It’s a great 80s movie with a lots of heart in it. I think Jean Claude Van Damme did a great job of acting in the movie. His fighting style and moves were very good. He has a lot of heart and energy …
Devil in the Flesh
I have heard of the movie Devil in the Flesh before. But, I didn’t get a chance to watch it until yesterday, when it was on one of our movie channels.
It was an OK movie but I have to admit, I was expecting it to be better.
Rose McGowan does …
Stepford Wives
One of my favourite movies which was released in the year 2004 was the movie “Stepford Wives”. I wanted to see the movie from the time I saw it advertising to be released in theatres, because I thought it looked very interesting and even though I had not watched …
Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) movie
I was a bit skeptical going into this movie it could have gone either way good or bad. I had heard mixed reviews from friends also both good and bad so honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I rented this movie.
The story is pretty simple four old …
Ghost Hunters Season 2 Part 1 DVD set
I bought the Ghost Hunters Season 2 Part 1 DVD set from Target and after watching it I had to go online and look because I thought I should return it. The set looks really cheaply made and the transfer to DVD was so poor that I thought there …
The Fabulous Dorseys movie
As a child, I remember watching The Fabulous Dorseys, a 1947 motion picture, all the time. It was constantly on late night, and as a night owl, it was something I saw quite frequently. With the advent of cable, I haven’t seen it even once.
The Fabulous Dorseys …
Michael Clayton
I can not portray how thoroughly disappointed I was in this movie. I very rarely get my husband to watch anything that is Oscar nominated. After watching this movie it will be a very long time before I get him to watch anything like that again. The plot …
127 Hours (movie)
One of the movies that I watched last month was “127 Hours”. Like many of the other movies that watched recently, I only heard about it after reading about it on a popular movie blog that I’ve been visiting since the beginning of this year.
The movie, starring …
Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh has been a favorite cartoon show among kids and kids-at-heart alike. Pooh bear, with his friends Christopher Robbin, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eyore, Owl, Helufun, Kessie, Kanga, and Roo all provide kiddie entertainment like no other. Each episode is fully-packed with exciting stories and adventures to tell …
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie
This controversial horror film by Tobe Hooper was made in a time where extremely violent films where becoming more and more accepted among the audience, but as a matter of fact, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be the most misunderstood film ever. The title hints to a gruesome …
Mama Mia!
The movie “Mamma Mia” is 2008 hottest sensation. Even though it recieved mixed reviews from the critics, the public simply loved this movie so much that it was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and became the highest grossing film in Britain of all time. The previous record was …
The Dark Knight
After the 90s came and went and the Batman movie series continued its steady decline at the dismay of true fans, I figured I might as well forget seeing a better Batman than Michael Keaton, a better villain than Jack Nicolson as the Joker, or a better director than …

Domino movie (2005)
(Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke)
Heads you live. Tails you die. And this movie definitely lives! This “story” about the first female bounty hunter, Domino (Knightley) is a full tilt, off the chart super pumped extravaganza of action, chaos, and mayhem. The high-octane, deliriously shot scenes do …
The Dark Knight
The Dark Night lives up to all of the hype surrounding its release and deserves the overwhelming amount of money it earned. The open sequence is a perfect introduction to the main villain of the movie, the Joker. A bank heist …
Palookaville movie
Three male friends get bored with their everyday lives and all of a sudden decides to rob a bank. But not too unexpected, something doesn’t fall out as they would have hoped for.
I didn’t find this film uplifting or refreshing in any certain way. Mostly it’s just a copy …
The Fearless Four
Tonight was our family movie night and, since the only way I can ever seem to keep my daughter interested in a movie is by watching an animated film, I searched for a cartoon movie we could load on our Netflix player. That eventually ended up being the Fearless …

Them (R, 2007) movie
Here is yet another movie that made me angry. I was angry because the trailer made me think it was really going to be good. This story basically revolves around a couple that is being chased by several unidentified hooded individuals. They are chased …
Movie: Dreamscape
I hadn’t seen the movie Dreamscape in a while so, when I saw I could watch it on instant watch last night, I figured I would take the time to watch it again.
After doing so, I was glad I took the time to re-watch a film I couldn’t remember …
