The Karate Kid (2010)
I’m not really much of a karate fan. The word karate sent my thoughts to Asia where these bunch of really flexible asians start kicking some sorry guys’ ass and while they’re at it, they utter a lot of chinese that would make me go, “what the efff are …
Gone Girl (2014 film)
I’m another one of those very crazy Gone Girl fans that have also read the book. My very first introduction to Gone Girl was when I read, pretty desperately, this critically acclaimed novel in less than three days, often surrendering to feelings of “please, just another chapter” and discovering …

Madea goes to Jail Movie
Madea goes to jail, directed and written by Tyler Perry is a very inspirational story. The movie balances out its sorrows with gut wrenching humor. This movie does have Madea going to jail, after, as always some testy behavior, that will most definitely make you laugh. However, this is also …
Highlander Endgame
I actually really liked this movie. The film seeks to bring together the original movie (with Christoper Lambert) and the Highlander series. They (wisely, I might add) pretty much completely ignore Highlander 2 and 3. They pick up from the end of the first movie and, …
Movie: What Happens in Vegas
As I mentioned in another review, I had a chance to watch a couple movies yesterday evening (it was raining out and there wasn’t anything good on TV). One of the films I re-watched for the first time in a couple years was the movie What happens in Vegas.

Craig Gillespie’s Mr. Woodcock, movie

Disturbing Behavior
One advantage of having a trial of ShowTime for the next three months is I get to see some movies I haven’t seen in a while. This included the movie Disturbing Behavior.
Even though the plot of the movie skips around a bit and is weak in some spots, I …
Ted (2012 movie)
Ted is one of the best movies that I’ve seen this year. It’s funny, the writing is great, and the actors are extremely witty. Believe me when I say it is not what you will expect, because it wasn’t what I expected to see. Seth Macfarlane shines all the …

X Men the Last Stand
Ok I will X men a lot. And I think the first two movies were pretty good. But the 3rd one was just horrible. I mean they had way to many characters and there was way to much going on at the same time in the movie.I couldn’t really keep …

Frankie and Alice (2014 Film)
I remember hearing about the film Frankie and Alice back when it was first released in 2010, but never taken the time to watch it until the recent release in 2014.
As a fan of Halle Berry, I was eager to see this film. She is a fantastic actress, that brings …
The Day After Tomorrow movie
This was possibly the best disaster movie I can remember watching. In fact, before this movie I had no idea that disaster movies could be great, since most of them tend to be b-movies. However, one of the things I learned from watching this movie was that good disaster …

When Tom Hanks plays in a Spielberg production the result can be nothing less than success. The movie The Terminal was first screened in 2004 and has since been one of my favorite ones. I loved it immediately when I first saw it. Spielberg talks about survival, adaptation in …

I must admit that “Love Actually” is one of my favourite all time movies. What makes this movie so special is the fact that it tackles the theme of love from various angles in a simple and straight forward manner.
In this movie we get to meet eight different stories …
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 …

Vampire Knight: Guilty 1 anime
Vampire Knight: Guilty is the second season of the anime based on the manga, Vampire Knight, by Matsuri Hino which is my favorite vampire anime, mainly because it is a shoujo, but still serious at the same time. The image on this DVD cover is of Ichiru and …
Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix
Since I don’t have time to sit down and read the books, my only knowledge of Harry Potter is through the movies. And, I have to say the movies aren’t getting better as the series progresses.
I had high hopes for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because …
The movie Home On The Range
Home On The Range was, in my opinion, not one of Disney’s best movies. I had absolutely no desire to see this movie when it came out. I saw the trailer and was completely and totally unimpressed by they movie. However even though I had decided …
Devil (2010 Film)
I remember hearing about the film Devil from a friend who refused to take the elevator one day. I hadn’t heard of it and was amused that a single film could scare a person into not wanting to ride an elevator, but instead take the stairs. As a person who …
Hocus Pocus movie
“Hocus Pocus” was possibly one of the most popular and well made Disney original movies I ever remember watching from when I was a child to now that I’m an adult. One might recognize a few famous faces in it too such as Sarah Jessica Parker the actress who …

Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016 Adventure Comedy-Drama Film)
Some films even if they are not really masterpieces nor a revelation of filmmaking, are still so well made that you can’t actually see a single fault in it. Films like last year’s Brooklyn or this year’s Sing Street are examples of it. Nothing groundbreaking about those two films mentioned …

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 …
