Enchanted
I have heard mixed reviews about Enchanted around the web, so I decided to add my two cents. I thought this was a beautiful movie. It includes all the romanticism a Disney “princess” movie should, while adding the real life element to set it apart, and including references to …
Virtuosity movie
The police creates a new kind of machine, with the qualities of ALL kinds of criminals. This is supposed to be a training tool for the officers, but somehow the machine manages to escape.
Very corny, unlogical and unrealistic film with fine actors like Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe wasting …
Made of Honor
I watched the Made of Honor movie with my friends; we were not keen on going for the movie as my sister said it was not that great. Since all of us were bored out our minds, we went for it. The movie was good and ok. It is …
One Hundred Men And A Girl movie
One Hundred Men And A Girl is an old film, made in 1937, about a girl who organizes an orchestra. The girl, Patsy, pulls together the orchestra because Patsy and her father need the work, as do the group of musicians, who are all without jobs at the present. …
Movie : The Uninvited (2009)
The Uninvited is yet another film in a long line of Hollywood remakes that were originally Japanese horror movies. A lot of these remakes have received a bad rap in the past but apart from a couple, in general I really enjoy them.
The pacing of this movie is …
Truman Show
I wanted to write about a movie called The Truman Show. It was a really good movie. It’s about a guy who thinks he’s a regular person in the world, but he starts noticing things are the same every day. The people are the same, the cars are the …

Pumpkin Scissors is a Japanese anime about a war torn country called the Empire of Frost, in Episode 1 they have signed a peace treaty with the Republic, but things are still bad with rogue soldiers wreaking havoc and attacking civilians. A man named Randel Oland meets a …
The Craft movie
The Craft is actually one of my most favorite teen movies. It doesn’t matter if many people might find it unrealistic because it’s all about magic and the supernatural (I’m not one of those people).
Directed by Andrew Fleming and starring Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Robin Tunney, and Rachel True, …
Pearl Harbor The Movie
I was never much for history, but I do love a good old fashioned romance which is exactly what this is. I loved this movie more than I originally thought I would and was glad I spent the money to see it in the theaters. And here’s …
Just Friends
Ah the classic, “I love you, just not like that,” or “We’re just friends” lines. Who hasn’t said, or heard, one of those? We’ve all been the victims of unrequited love. This movie takes this natural occurance to a new and hilarious level.
Ryan Reynolds, as usual, plays an absolutely …
Apollo 18, movie
I had seen a couple of video reviews that suggested that this movie was OK. It wasn’t without its flaws, but it was still decent. The average viewer rating on Netflix, however, has it at one and a half stars. After seeing the movie for myself, …
Tempo di Viaggio movie
Andrei Tarkovsky is one of my absolute favorite directors. A true cinematic artist who wanted to make the cinema just as impressive an art as painting, music or literature, and I have to say he succeeded with his mission, although he died to soon, only about 50 years of …
Final Destination IV movie
I almost didn’t finish this movie when I watched it with my friends in September of 2009. It was just released a few days ago, and so the cinema at Strawberry Hills mall here in Surrey, Canada was filled to the rafters.
It was released in 3-D so …
Unlikely Angel movie
Unlikely Angel is a holiday movie from 1996 which stars Dolly Parton as a rather selfish country music performer (aside from the selfish part, not a big stretch … again) who dies suddenly. Being egotistical, Ruby Diamond can’t enter Heaven without doing a good deed first, so it’s …
Love in the Afternoon (1957) film by Billy Wilder
Love in the Afternoon is one exceptional romantic story in the Audrey Hepburn filmography. I loved Sabrina, which was the first time Audrey and Billy Wilder had worked together on a film, so I moved on to the next. Firstly, I had the wrong impression upon looking …
Antwone Fisher
The movie Antwone Fisher was released when I was still in high school. I did not see it advertising to be released in theatres though since I was very busy at the time. However, I was finally able to see it when I saw the rest of my family …
Shrek 3
Dreamworks’ successful Shrek franchise has more or less lived up to its hype with Shrek 1 and 2; Shrek 3, however, seems to fall short of the witty, fairy-tale spoof we have come to love. Although filled with humorous details and comical dialogue, the story is nothing short of …
Notorious (R, 2009) movie
I was a little worried about this movie because when biopics are made about famous people, it’s sometimes really hard to hire the right actors to do these kinds of roles. The actor must not only look like the artist, but must also embody the little nuances that …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I’m not usually a huge fan of romantic comedies. They’re OK but I get bored with them quickly because they usually have the same basic plot.
However, I have to say, after watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I did find myself entertained throughout.
The good thing about this movie is it offers …
Movie: The Hangover
Synopsis: Four men travel to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. The next morning, three of them wake up in their trashed hotel room and discover the groom is missing. They need to re-construct what happened the night before and find him before his wedding in a little over …

No Reservations (2007)
This is the story of a day in the life of a master chef, taking solace behind the scenes she is more at ease preparing the meals for her clientele than basking in the glory of comments that might come her way. A typical day finds her going to …
Star Wars
In the 1970’s when I was extremely young one of the first movies that my husband and I saw was Star Wars. This movie was fantastic then and it is now.
We are introduced to the cast with a story line that state A Long Time ago in …
Children of men
When I first saw the description for Children of Men, I thought it was definitely a unique concept; a man is trying to help the first pregnant woman on the planet in more than 18 years. But, after watching the movie, I have to say the execution wasn’t the …
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street movie
Never forgive, never forget.
A true quote that pretty much sums up the plot of this fantastic movie which came out in 2007. Based on the hit Broadway thriller-musical which starred Angela Lansbury as Mrs.Lovett and Len Cariou as Sweeney, this movie was directed by Tim Burton (The Nightmare Before …
Mirrors (2008)
This story comes to us as viewers with the intentions of scaring us into thinking that there is another world living in the mirrors. Things that are trouble or brought to provocation will attack with lethal intent. When this movie started, it showed a man running for his life …
Underworld (2003)
When I first picked this movie up, I thought it sounded interesting as it was about a relationship between a vampire and a werewolf (supposedly the two were in love). However it disappointed me almost right away. The opening sequence of this film is nothing but mindless action and …
Ice Age 2 movie
Ice Age 2: Melt Down is a great, new movie for everyone! It is the sequel to Ice Age and follows the same characters: Diego (the sabertooth tiger), Manny (the wooly mammoth), Sid (the megalonyx –related to the three toed sloth) and of course Scrat (the saber toothed squirrel). …
In her Shoes
“In her Shoes” is a film based on family misunderstandings and loyalty. What I particularly liked about this movie is the actress, Shirley MacLaine role as the grandmother, Ella Hirsch. It is no wonder that she has been nominated for the golden globe for her supporting role in this …
Hide and Seek
Hide and Seek is an intense, well structured, mysterious and frightening movie. I watched this as I was a fan of Dakota Fanning, and found this movie to be spectacular.
Of course, there are many twists and things that confused me a little, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like …
500 Days of Summer Movie
This is a story about a boy who falls in love with a girl who’s his officemate, and they go for dates for 500 days until the girl finally realizes she’s not in love with him, but it sucks because the boy really loves him and even though they …

The Longest Day movie
The Longest Day has always been an amazing recounting of D-Day, the sixth of June. It’s probably my favorite of all of the World War II movies that I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a ton over the decades. The stellar cast of The Longest Day goes a …
Mission to Mars Movie
Brian De Palma is a filmmaker I used to be big fan of. When I first saw his incredibly powerful films from the 1980s, like Scarface and The Untouchables, he become one of my favorites, but unfortunately he proved to be a very uneven director who got worse with …
Millionaire’s First Love
I have watched a very touching Korean movie that I think is worth a good review. The title is A Millionaire’s First Love. The movie started out really funny but ended really sad. The twist of the movie was cool and that it was really worth the time, I …
Dumb and Dumber To, movie
Jim Carrey films were one of the most prominent features of my childhood so it was with some nostalgia that I approached this movie, even though the original Dumb and Dumber has never been one of my favourites. Carrey’s recent films have been relatively subdued in comparison to …
Reality Bites
Reality Bites is a nice romantic movie with the back drop of young students. The movie is said as a path breaking movie of this type. Ben Stiller directed this movie and is his first movie as a director. The movie has Ben Stiller, Winona Ryder, and Ethan Hawke …
Holiday In The Sun- Mary Kate and Ashley
When Mary Kate and Ashley were in there movie making days, I loved there movies! I always admired how they centered around traveling around the world for various reasons and just having a good time. I watched these a lot when I was younger, I recented really wanted to …
Brave Heart movie
This is the fourth year when I first saw the movie ‘Brave Heart’. Since then I have seen this for innumerable times. My favorite Mel Gibson is in lead role and as usual he shows his strong caliber in this movie.
Winning some Oscars will not suffice to say all …
300 - The Movie
When one watches the trailer of the movie 300, the next words that come out of their mouths are inexplicably “WoW” or “I gotta watch this.” We’ll I am writing this review to tell you that it is a VERY GOOD idea to follow your instincts because …
Robots Movie
Clever, original, funny and it has a decent plot. It’s very easy to like this movie whether you are young or young at heart. A classic for future generations. The first time i saw this movie was as an inflight movie on British Airways…maybe I was tired, because I …
Movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
My wife and I recently watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (I will refer to the movie as “Caspian”). I enjoyed the movie, but it was not as entertaining or complex as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
In Caspian, the four future kings and queens …
The Two Towers movie
I am reviewing the second installment of the Lord of the Rings series, The Two Towers, which was released around 2002. This movie finds our heroes, Frodo and Sam, fighting their way to the Black Gate, with the aid of the creature Gollum, who is still very much …

A. Wrong …
Movie She’s the Man
“She’s the Man” is the movie that confirms what a great actress, Amanda Bynes is. In this movie, we see her interpret the role of a boy most of the time. On a personal level, this movie was a great success for the actor, Channing Tatum because he managed …
American Graffitti movie
American Graffitti was all the rage when it came out, but it did little for me. In truth, I didn’t see it for a long time after the release, and it may have suffered from overkill. By that, I mean that there was so much publicity for …
