Friends TV Sitcom DVD
I watched the TV show friends since my teens and until now; I did not get the jokes then but now that I understand them. I have not been bored of it.

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
Me and my eleven year old daughter watched this film together recently on DVD. My daughter had already read all the books in the series and had mixed feelings about the film. It’s always the same though, I told her, when you’ve read a book and loved it then …
Mr. Woodcock
“Mr Woodcock” is a good comic movie; however I personally would have preferred that the main part went to a different actor rather than Billy Bob Thornton. In this movie, Thornton tried to interpret “Mr Woodcock” to his best of abilities, however while watching this film I couldn’t help …
Jurassic Park I: The Movie
In my opinion the movie Jurassic Park based on the novel from Michael Crichton is one of the great set of movies based upon his books. The animation and idea behind the movie is cutting edge for the time it was created in 1993. The plot for the movie …
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
True to the series, this movie delivers just as much gore and gruesome murders as the previous five movies. However, this movie is not a sequel to the popular series but rather a prequel. As the title suggests, this movie delves into the beginning of the Hewitt family’s murderous …
Judge Dredd (1995)
I like futuristic films and this one Directed by Danny Canon is really a good one. It starred Sylvester Stallone as Judge Joseph Dredd and the beautiful Dianne Lane as Judge Hershey. This describes a kind of life as a result of earth getting almost totally intoxicated …

Let’s start with Robert Hays, …

The Bridesmaids Movie
The movie Bridesmaids was not quiet what I thought that it would be. When I first saw the previews for the movie I was convinced that it would be absolutely hilarious. However, I have to say that although I did find that movie funny, it was not quiet the …
Epic (movie)
One of the animated movies that I watched fairly recently was Epic. I must have seen the trailer advertise a million and one times and not show any interest in seeing it, before I finally yielded one day after one of my family members got the blu-ray version and …

Gladiator movie
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Gladiator at all, but the intensity of the drama can’t be ignored. In short, this is a movie about a much respected general to Marcus Aurelius, the emperor of Rome, who is then condemned to execution by the emperor’s son, Commodus. The …
Movie Martian Child
This was a really good movie. John Cusack does an amazing job in it. He adopts this little boy who tells everyone he is from “red planet”. All of the actors do a really good job in it. The movie kept me entertained throughout the whole movie. There are …
Kelly’s Heroes
Kelly’s Heroes with Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, Don Rickles, and Carroll O’Connor.
Generally there are great difficulties in pulling off comedic themes within the arena of war and killing, but this movie succeeded in just that. This movie became a cult classic because of …
DVD Doctor Who —“ Beneath the Surface
I love classic old Doctor Who stories. I was born in 1974, the year that Tom Baker took over from Jon Pertwee, so have been really keen on finding out about earlier adventures, and these DVD boxed sets are great for that. This one contains 3 stories in total, …

Two Weeks Notice (2002)
Two Weeks Notice is a movie starring two of hollywoods’ heavy hitters in that of Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock. The plot of this movie has been done so many times over and over it starts to become so repetative, but just like a bad song that you just …
Rush Hour
I am reviewing the movie, Rush Hour starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. In this first movie of the two, Chris plays Carter, a loudmouth, no nonsense, comedic cop. He uses his energy to track down drug lords and put them behind bars. He receives an assignment …
Movie Money Train
I just watched Money Train yesterday and oh my God, that movie is awesome! Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez really deliver a humorous, dramatic and action packed sense of their characters. This movie kind of reminds me of Four Brothers in the sense that Snipes and Harrelsons …
World Trade Center Movie

I saw Foul Play years ago, when I was a child, and my mom brought it home for my sister and I to watch. We had enjoyed it then, particularly Dudley Moore, who we laughed at hysterically. I have since had the urge to watch it again. When I …

Public Enemies movie
My wife and I ended up finally watching the Johnny Depp film Public Enemies last night. It was an OK movie but I will confess, I expected it to be somewhat better than it was.
Depp does an excellent job as John Dillinger, public enemy number 1 who is hunted …
Dude, Where’s My Car?
Remember when Dude, Where’s My Car? was first shown on the cinemas? I think there are just movies that truly “work” and some just don’t. And the actors play an active role as well. If you put non-funny actors in a funny comedy movie, it won’t work …

And Then She Found Me movie
“And Then She Found Me” is very much a by product from the actress, Helen Hunt. For the first time we don’t see Hunt acting only, but she was also involved in screen writing and directing this movie. Although this movie has a great story and a great cast; …
Ex Drummer (comedy movie)
While looking for another comedy to watch, I came across a not-so-popular movie that was considered as a gem by a number of people who watched it. I was informed that watching it generally evoked one of two strong feelings in an audience as I would either love it or …
Waiting, movie
It might be a bit much for a more grown up audience, but “Waiting” does have its good moments and brings up the feelings that almost everyone goes through at one time or another when they don’t know where they’re going in life. Ryan Reynolds’s is charming, Dane Cook …
National Lampoon’s Van Wilder
This movie is a decent comedy, even against my initial expectations. So far every other “National Lampoon’s” movie has just been awful. This has completely changed my view of them for the future!
The overall basis of the movie is that a student named Van Wilder is attempting to stay …
Sleepers: Movie
I found Sleepers to be quite an interesting film, mainly due to the fact that I am a fan of a good revenge story.

Bus 174
Bus 174 is a movie that I really enjoyed watching with my sister and brother. We love watching hostages movie scenario, but felt that to happen in real life would be devastating. But I love watching how the characters blend and try to escape, something like that. …
Rec
I watched this before, titled Rec and it was during 2007, I think. Pretty darn scary, if you ask me. Remember The Blair Witch Project..? Well, it is something like it, but different in a way.
You will get to see a recording or some sort …
Shooter, conspiracy thriller film by Antoine Fuqua
When I first saw a trailer for the movie I thought it was a Bourne rip off, it showed non stop ass kicking from Mark Wahlberg. After I was finished with this movie I still want to say it is a Bourne rip off just not through the plot …

Dora the Explorer DVD We’re a Team
I recently purchased one of the newer Dora the Explorer DVD’s “We’re a Team” for my daughter. Overall, I think it was a great purchase.
In the We’re A Team episode, Dora and her friends are trying to complete a race course in under 20 minutes and must use their …
Bram Stoker’s The Mummy
I honestly think there should be a law against Hollywood basing a movie off of a classic piece of literature and then making a film that doesn�t resemble the book at all.
Bram Stoker’s The Mummy is based off of his book The Jewel of the Seven Stars. While I …
Miracle movie
In another review for the made-for-TV movie, “Miracle on Ice”, I said I don’t like hockey, and the truth is that I don’t. Yet, over a decade later, I still love the story of the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team and how they marched their way towards gold, …
