Movie Death Race
A movie I just finished watching about three minutes before I decided to write a review about, Death Race was quite a well executed watch.
I was excited about what to expect of this movie from the moment I heard the name, and I already had some expectations and predictions …

Scott `Stingray` Timmins (Ben Nicholas) tours Ramsey Street
I found this video through www.youtube.com.au and I was going through to see if I could find this other video off Ben Nicholas’s character Stingray, and I came across this video. It is a tour of the most famous soap show in …
Garfield: Tale of Two Kitties
We got Garfield, Tale of Two Kitties last week and were very impressed. It was a great family movie that had a great mix of action and comedy. I only wish I could have gotten my energetic 2-year-old to watch more of it.
I found myself laughing every few seconds …
RomeoXJuliet TV Anime Series
RomeoXJuliet is an anime that is loosely based off The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. It takes the basic elements of the original story and turns it into something unique that you can only find in an anime, but it still retains the core theme …
“The Children” Vertigo Pictures, 2009
Last night I was invited to a relative’s house to watch a movie. It was “The Children- Vertigo Pictures, 2009.” When I saw the Ghost House logo I silently rolled my eyes and dreaded the inevitable two hours of watching teenagers get killed one by one in an …
Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, An Animated Movie
I have to admit that I am a Tim Burton fan. I loved nightmare before Christmas, but when this movie came out in 2005 I wasn’t really all that interested in buying it because the title was just a little too obvious. The title completely gave away the whole …

influential Rock’n’Roll guitarists. Namely Jimmy Page, the Edge and Jack White.
Directors Dave Guggenheim and Jimmy Page drive us into the lifes and backgrounds of the three artists’ relationships …
The Matador
From the title you would think that this movie is Latino, or at least taking place south of the U.S. border. Here the idea of the matador is more of a metaphor, a symbol, that you’ll understand after watching the film. Pierce Brosnan is hilarious in this film. He …
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire movie

To The Devil, A Daughter (R, 1976)
I rented “To The Devil A Daughter” for two reasons: Christopher Lee and Nastassja Kinski. I have always liked Lee’s presence in films, especially The Wicker Man (the original). He had this air about him that was both seductive and a little creepy. …
Little Voice Movie
Little Voice is a film that really touched me.
Called LV by her mother, Little Voice is a nearly agoraphobic young woman whose only contact with the outside world is through old record albums that had belonged to her beloved deceased father. They are her escape from …
Pan’s Labyrinth (Laberinto del Fauno)
I remember first seeing a preview for Pan’s Labyrinth and thinking to myself, “This movie’s gonna be stupid!” and “It’s a rip-off of Chronicles of Narnia!”. After hearing about how great the movie supposedly was, of course I had to see for myself. Now I can say that this …
Notting Hill
I’m really a big fan of romantic drama. And one of my lifetime favorites is Notting Hill. I don’t know why. I just found that simple beautiful. The storyline is just perfect. The on-off of the two main characters is just brilliant. Drama used to have the same …
Nim’s Island, adventure-fantasy film
Walden Media hasn’t really changed movies with some of their movie adaptations of their famous novels. There seems to be more buzz around the actual title than the movie itself, which doesn’t sit well for movie goes. Is Nim’s Island going to suffer the same way just all the …
Movie Cabin Fever
I would have to say that Cabin Fever is one of my most favorite horror movies. You might think that it is crazy that I say that, but i have a reason for saying that.
the theme of the movie is a flesh eating disease that is responsible …
Because of Winn-Dixie (2005 movie)
I remember seeing the ads for this movie when it first hit theaters several years ago. I had no idea what the storyline was. All I knew was that it was about a girl and her dog, and that alone was enough to make me want to see it. …
The Back-Up Plan Movie
Not too long ago I had an opportunity to watch “The Back-Up Plan” starring Jennifer Lopez as Zoe and the ever gorgeous Alex O’loughlin as Stan. This movie is about a women who when in her 30’s thought she would be married with kids. However, she has yet …
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 …

Year One features Jack Black as Zed, a bumbling hunter who is outcast from the rest of the hunters, and Michael Cera as Oh, the only male gatherer in the tribe. The two best friends end up causing the entire tribe’s camp to burn to the ground, and they …
10,000 BC
I purchase this movie together with some more as a time killing activity while my husband is on a two week vacation. I thought at first that it was just an ordinary and boring historical type of movies but as I watched the movie, I know it is more …
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 …

Shelter DVD
Despite being produced by here!network (cable network known for many things but not good quality movies), “Shelter” is a well written, well produced, well acted movie about love.
“Shelter” tells a story of Zach, a young surfer living in California. He works in a diner, takes care of his nephew …
Repulsion movie
Roman Polanskis masterful effort about a woman, played by the beautiful Catherine Deneuve, who step by step goes insane in here solitude. Polanski builds the suspense like only a master would be able to. The narrative is very unpredictable, almost claustrofobic, and Deneuve is excellent in the leading role. …
Hudsucker Proxy
I was not planning to watch this movie. Channel surfing brought me to the movie about ten or fifteen minutes into it. I decided to give it a moment, check things out before surfing on to another channel. But I stayed and watched the whole thing, and loved every …
George of the Jungle movie
This is one of Brendan Fraser’s best comedies and is a great film for the family to watch.
Basically a spoof of Tarzan, Fraser plays George, a young child abandoned in the jungle and raised by apes. He’s not too bright and is very clumbsy but has a good heart …
Turbulence movie
I completely forgot about the movie “Turbulence” until very recently when I saw it being broadcast on a cable televison channel again. Since the name sounded familiar I decided to even watch half of it in order to refresh my memory on the movie. The result was that I …

Unrest (R, 2006) movie
This horror film is part of an 8-film Horrorfest (festival) and I must admit that it was part corny/part “good”. A group of medical students working on a set of cadavers discover that one of them is not actually “dead.” Of course there is a stream …
Happy Feet
First of all: I LOVE penguins! I don’t know why, but they seem to be such happy little creatures, wherever you see them in movies, toy- shops and tv-commercials… but then, after seeing the documentary “March of the Penguins” (see separate review), I know there are not that happy …
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Movie)
I was greatly disappointed in this movie because of the fact that the movie was not very close to the series that was shown on Nickelodeon. Yes, there were the main characters that were supposed to be there but the truth is that if you’ve never seen the cartoon …
Movie Dr. Jekyll and The Wolfman (1971)
Ok, has a movie ever had a title that told you everything you wanted to know about the film’s contents like this one?
Here’s the rundown. Waldemar is back and he ain’t paying attention to the continuity of the previous films. He’s in Victorian England and cursed to be a …
Doomsday
10,000BC is currently where I draw the line for horrible contemporary cinema and while the quality of Doomsday doesn’t fall quite so far, it’s perhaps in a similar ballpark. Personally I hate both parks and balls but I use this analogy with the intention of making it clear …
Rollin’ Plains movie
Rollin’ Plains from 1938 is your traditional cow man versus the sheep man movie. This is something we’ve seen dozens, perhaps hundreds of times over the years, but back in ‘38 it wasn’t quite so old hat as yet.
The western was a musical one, featuring the singing cowboy …
Taal (movie) , 1999
The movie Taal is one of my all time favorite movies. I loved the way the love story of the Mansi and Manav was portrayed in the film. This movie released on August 13th 1999. It was directed by Subhash Ghai, one of the best directors of India. …
The Lovers DVD Movie
I just couldn’t fathom why there ever exists a classic black and white movie titled The Lovers which was made around the year 1958. Yesterday, my 2 best friends came to my house as per normal to chill and they brought this classic DVD movie from one of …
Snakes on a Plane, David Ellis Movie
‘Snakes on a Plane’ (SoaP) is one of the internet phenomenon in the beginning. Long before released, this movie becomes the subject of debate and discussion, which is quite warm. And it is quite a trick successfully. ‘SoaP’ successfully occupies the first rank Box Office when released.
A young …
Easy Rider
Easy Rider is a movie about riding. Simple as that. I suppose riders all over would be able to love the movie and relate to the journeys of Billy and Wyatt, acted by Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda respectively. Well, minus the dope at least. These 2 …
Steel Dawn movie
After wrapping up the filming of Dirty Dancing, Patrick Swayze won the lead role in a futuristic drama called Steel Dawn. Playing opposite him was Lisa Niemi, his real-life wife. Interestingly, no one realized they were married. Lisa had already won the role of Kasha before …
The Flim-Flam Man,1967 movie
This is a wonderful, unfairly little known and even more unfairly not-yet-released-on-DVD comedy starring the great George C. Scott. If you are a fan of George Scott, definitely check it out! He plays (wonderfully) a veteran con artist named Mordecai Jones who maintains that “you can’t cheat an honest …
The Parent Trap
I am reviewing the older version of The Parent Trap, starring Hallie Mills. There are two twins. They each go to camp. They don’t know the other exists. They see each other at camp and hate one another. They go to great trouble to make the other one …
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 …
Fight club
Fight Club is a good action drama movie. The movie has Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter playing the important roles. The movie is the screen adaptation of the novel by the same name. The movie is shown in the form of narration of a nameless protagonist …
Coraline movie
When I first saw the movie Coraline advertise to be released in theatres I knew I wanted to see it, especially when I found out that it was directed by a director whose work I had adored ever since I was a little girl, Tim Burton. The trailer seemed …
Lost in Space (1998 Film)
The 1998 film “Lost in Space” starring Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers and Heather Graham is a sci-fi thriller that is pretty much guaranteed to not only give the viewers a strong dose of the supernatural, but an entertaining plot that is simple and enjoyable to follow.
Despite the fact that …
Bone Sickness, Horror film
I might have gotten to the point in my life where zombie movies just don’t excite me anymore. Take this one, Bone Sickness, a zombie movie that might have been shot with a betamax camcorder. I have no beef with low budget movies but Bone Sickness really doesn’t do …
“The Craft” (1996 Film)
The 1996 film “The Craft” is a mystical and yet disturbing film about four girls who start their own Covent in hopes of becoming witches. When the fourth and last member of their circle move to town and begin attending school with the other three girls, she seems to …
