Babel, the movie
I got to see the movie Babel with a friend last week, and we came out with mixed opinions. I liked the film, and she was less thrilled by it. We both agreed on several things, though. We agreed that the film is fairly interesting and …
Step Up 3D Movie (2010)
This has got to be my new favorite dance movie of all times! My favorites movies before had been combined of Stomp the Yard and You Got Served, and the other movies that had tried to emulate them had failed, except for this one! This movie is a combination …
Eight Below (movie)
A new movie was released on Monday called “Eight Below”. This is an awesome movie, especially for dog lovers.
The film stars Paul Walker and takes place mainly in Antarctica. When a major storm hits and there is not enough room in the plane to transport the scientists, guides and …
A Christmas Carol (1938)
As it turned out, I was only able to view one version of A Christmas Carol this year. Normally, I see several, but scheduling just didn’t work out, not to mention I didn’t notice this Charles Dickens’ classic being shown all that much. This A Christmas Carol …
Diary of the Dead movie
After his belated return to his roots with Land of the Dead a few years prior, Romero turns prolific once more with Diary of the Dead; an interesting take on the genre with a hand held, documentary tactic employed perhaps most famously with Cloverfield.
It’s an interesting idea, and …
Mission Impossible 3 (movie)
My boyfriend and I are serious movie freaks…we own a serious amount of DVD’s and go to see new movies all the time. So naturally, we went to see M:I 3 on it’s opening weekend. Theatres were packed. Line ups and waits were ridiculous. And as always, you had …
Ghost Dad movie
This is known as one of the worst films that Bill Cosby was in .This is ironic sense it was directed by Sidney Poitier who is known to be a great producer.Why did the movie get the bad rap that it did.
The main thing thats wrong with this movie …
Hairspray (2007)
This movie is absolutely amazing.
Firstly, the casting of the characters was simply perfect. There’s no denying the newly-discovered Nikki Blonsky IS Tracy Turnblad. She can act, and she can sing (BOYYY, can she sing!). John Travolta is hilarious as Edna Turnblad, and he can really move in that fat …
La Vita E Bella (directed by Roberto Benigni)
I watched this movie about three or four times and I wouldn’t mind watching it again. It is one of those movies that you can never forget. I would describe it as a very delicate film, approaching very serious problems in a playful manner, but for this very reason …
Netflix
I have been a Netflix customer for over two years now. As an avid movie junkie, I have an entire database of movies to watch at my disposal. With a variety of payment plans and delivery options, Netflix has really been amazing to me. I started out by receiving …
42, movie (2013)
Stories of the underestimated seem to resonate with us as a culture. When we see an underdog overcome great challenges before them, it becomes a story that becomes personal for any individual. Film has presented this archetype since its creation. Rocky, Forrest Gump, and the Mighty …
The Dying Detective
I am reviewing The Dying Detective, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Memoirs of Sherlock HOlmes, which was produced by Granada television in the 1990’s. This episode finds Holmes in battle with another extremely intelligent man: a doctor. He is a specialist in a certain …
The Hunger Games DVD/Blu Ray Release
Last week it finally arrived the date for the release of The Hunger Games DVD/Blu Ray. A huge buzz has been around this release thanks to the huge success of the screen adaptation of Suzanne Collin’s masterpiece and New York Time Best seller with the same name.
The DVD/Blu Ray …
I am Legend
I am Legend is a unique movie. Actor Will Smith, the main character, does an excellent job as always. The movie is about the of a military scientist you believes he is the last person on Earth not affected by a horibble mutated virus. Apparently he is immune to …
The Conjuring (movie 2013)
My older sister brought over a DVD rental of the conjuring for movie night one weekend. We both really wanted to see it after seeing the previews during the summer. As scary movie freaks we were hyped.
The Conjuring is another one of those movies that is based on true …
Despicable Me (2010) movie
Well I decided to go see this movie with the girl day after opening day and the theater was packed with excitement and I can not lie I was ready and in the mood for a good laugh and this movie did not fail or that at all.
The …
In The Cut (2003) Movie
I am afraid that I could not help comparing this movie all the way through to Nine and a Half Weeks, the 1987 erotic movie starring Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. Now that is an erotic movie and I (and my friends at the time too!) can totally …
Dead or Alive
Devon Aoki was sexy in this movie as Princess Kazumi (I wonder why she wasn’t mentioned as ‘hime’ princess term in Japanese). Okay, for short, this story is about ‘Karate’, ‘Kung Fu’, and ‘Martial Arts’. I would say: Fascinating, because the main roles were played by females. …
Deadly Grace
“Deadly Grace” is quite a fast paced thriller.
FBI agent, Alex Cruz has been sent to talk to a Person of Interest in a double homicide in England. The Person of Interest is Jillian Meade in a small town in Minnesota.
When Alex arrives, he finds Jillian in …
Friday the 13th Part 6
Friday the 13th part 6 isn’t my favorite, but there are a few scenes that I really love. One thing that I loved is that two 1980’s actors from soap operas appear in the movie. The first is a man who played Duncan on As the World Turns. On …
Gridiron Gang
I am reviewing the movie, Gridiron Gang, staring Dwane Johnson “The Rock.” This movie is about a probation’s officer who is willing to go up against all odds in order to save lives. It seems that each time a kid rolls in, faces time, and rolls out, …
Namastey London
With a mixed starcast, and without any solid story, Namstey London still succeeded to attract audience.
It is a triangular love story where an Indian woman is in love with an English man. However,her parents wanted her to marry to an Indian guy but this marriage lasts to be of …
The Gospel of John
The Gospel of John is my favourite of all four gospels because, rather than focussing on historical facts like the other three, it goes deeper into Jesus’s teachings and philosophy. From the very beginning, it tries to explain the world through what later is was going to become the …
Millennium movie
From 1989, this science fiction movie speaks to me for some reason, and I really don’t know why. There’s just something about it that makes me want to watch it, over and over again … and I do.
Millennium stars Kris Kristofferson as Bill Smith, who as a young …
A Martian Christmas movie
I was looking for some movies for my daughter to watch while home on Christmas break and came across A Martian Christmas. I didn’t know what to expect from the animated movie, but I figured it was worth watching considering it is almost Christmas.
The movie ended up being better …
Mickey’s Christmas Carol
I just finished reading Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol to my daughter and she said she would love to see a movie about it. Wanting to find a movie that gave justice to the book yet wasn’t too scary for her, I finally settled on Mickey’s Christmas Carol.
The thing …

Poison Ivy
I have watched the movie ‘Poison Ivy’. The director is Katt Shea. The actors are Drew Barrymore, Sara and Tom. Sara plays the role of Sylvie and Drew of Ivy. All the actors have performed well.
Sara is a high school student in California. It is here that she makes …
The Trip to Bountiful (1985)
This movie is so unusual, so unlike your typical Hollywood. Despite that, it has won an Oscar. A well-deserved Oscar, I must say.
Hollywood worships youth, beauty, riches. “The Trip to Bountiful” has a poor old lady for the main character, and the story focuses on her, from the beginning …
Moon: Movie
Moon is a very interesting and intriguing film that I found to be a very decent watch, if a little confusing at times.
I thought the idea for the back story was quite good, as it’s not something I’ve seen done successfully before. But the plot twists really make it …
Super Bad Movie
Teenage Comedy. I thought I had seen every possible teenage movie scerino, that is until I watched Super Bad. From start to finish this movie had me rolling! The first funny thing I noticed was Seth’s enthuisastic nature. From the get go he spews curse word after curse word, …
Schindler’s List Movie 1993
I was only 13 years old when this movie was shown in theaters, Rated-R as it is, it sends curiosity in my mind as i hear people talk about it everywhere. A Steven Spielberg Film, all would have judged it even without seeing the film, with high expectations of …
Warlock (1989)
Julian Sands is a warlock being accused of practicing witch-craft and is condemned to be hung and burnt. On the day before his execution, he escapes and teleports to modern day from the past. Kinda like from the day of the pilgrims to present day.
In hot pursuit to recapture …
Harry Potter and the Sorceror
I’m home today because it’s Saturday and I can’t really afford to go out and do much more than sit around the house and watch movies all day.
One movie we ended up watching today was Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone. It’s not the first time I’ve seen this …
Final destination 2
Director: David R. Ellis
Cast: Ali Larter, A.J. Cook, Michael Landes
Rate R
“Final Destination 2” is the sequel to frightening movie “Final Destination”; the movie picks up where the first one left off.
“Final Destination 2” begins in a room late night with the camera slowing moving across a television screen which …
Movie: “Enchanted” (2007)
“Enchanted” is, in a word, enchanting. I was very impressed at this sweet and charming film; it’s wonderful for the whole family and I believe it will be a classic for years to come.
It starts with a beautifully animated sequence; the lovely (and relentlessly upbeat) Princess Giselle lives in …
Paranormal Activity movie
The Paranormal Activity movie was amazing. I took my girlfriend to see it and we were both freaked out. There were people in the theatre crying and throwing up.
The movie starts off with a couple that move in together and the boyfriend gets a high quality camera …
Life of Pi, movie
‘Life of Pi’ the movie has garnered many positive reviews mainly through the ears and mouths of my friends. In the midst of my important year, my ‘A’ levels year, I decided to watch this movie due to me being a movie freak and me being tired of studying. …
Rambo 2008 movie
Rambo is a 2008 film directed by and starring Stallone, the first in the Rambo series in years, the film looked promising, I watched these films growing up, and got tired of the monotony of the cliche and dull story lines in each sequel. This looked fresh and really …

The Lost World: Jurassic Park
Shooting straight of the gate, this movie had very big shoes to fill when everyone expected it to live up to the expectations of the first film. Sadly, this movie fell short of it mark with critics and the public.
Bringing back Jeff Goldblum to play Ian Malcolm was one …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Yep, it’s another teen movie. But it’s not just another one of those typical ones. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is perhaps one of those movies that actually tackle something more than just the cliché jock/nerd romance. The story follows a recently heartbroken high school student, Nick O’ Leary. …
Goodfellas
Goodfellas is a classic mafia film directed by Martin Scorsese, it was originally meant to be titled Wise Guy, the same title as the nonfiction book the film is based on written by Nicholas Pileggi. The film stars Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Ray Liotta. Liotta plays as …

Greater Union Cinemas at George Street, Sydney
If you’re new from Sydney and looking for a cinema to watch a movie, then you better stop by Greater Union. I’ve been here since January 2009 and I’m having a great time. I love movies, and the first thing I asked my wife was the cinemas here. She …
Feast, 2006 Horror Film
This is one of those few horror movies that come out and are not only freaky and disgusting, but hilarious. I think it’s obvious that the director wanted it to be both. Basically you have a bar full of goofy misfits (I swear if you’ve ever been in …
Movie Hitman
Watching the DVD movie, Hitman really makes me yawn so much. Though it is based from a game from Playstation or something, it does nothing to me at all. It’s like watching Alias or just a B-Grade TV action drama series or something. I really felt it …
Blockbuster Video
We have often rented movies at Blockbuster, but lately we have been checking out a smaller video store down the road.
When the smaller store down the road does not have the movie we are looking for, we head to Blockbuster. The reason we opt to go to the smaller …
