A Monkey’s Tale Movie
Friday night was our family movie night and, as we normally do, I made sure we had an animated film lined up. This time around, however, I gave my daughter a choice between The Iron Giant (a movie I have yet to watch) and a newer film called A …
Stepford Wives (2004)
I find this 2004 remake of The Stepford Wives movie a somewhat interesting but very average attempt with one big gaping plot hole. In the original 1975 version, a young couple arrives to the town of Stepford where all the wives are amazingly beautiful and domestic; then it turns …
Superman Doomsday
Let me start off by saying…”One of the best Superman Movies animated or not ever made”. I have always been of the opinion that Superman’s portrayed character is so lame, why is he called “Superman” in the first place. He always seems to get the tar beat out of …
Gladiator movie
The historical epic genre has been lost for the world of cinema ever since Ben Hur and its 11 Academy Awards until Mel Gibson’s Braveheart. What Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe did in the end of the second millennium led to 12 Academy Award nominations, too …
Lone Survivor (war movie)
Lone Survivor was one of those movies that I delayed watching for a very long time, and ended up regretting my choice because it turned out so well. I’m also happy that I didn’t allow myself to read any of the reviews online about it, since about half of them …

Amanda Bynes sizzles in She’s The Man. In this story, she plays Viola, helping her brother to be able to perform in London. His brother loves playing for his band so much and since he is in the soccer team at his school, Viola decides to act as …
A League Of Their Own (movie)
A League Of Their Own is a movie about women’s baseball. Evidently when World War II was going on, the women were left to fend for themselves, literally, in more ways than one. I knew that during the war, women were leaders in the work force because all the …
Prescription: Murder movie
Prescription: Murder was the movie that spawned the iconic Columbo TV series. The movie starred the dapper Gene Barry in the murderer’s role. That was one thing that was special about the Columbo series. It was always a game of cat and mouse. The mystery …
Grosse Point Blank
I really thought Grosse Point Blank was a great movie. The reason I loved this movie was because it was so funny! I mean Martin Blank is a crazy hitman who kills for money. And now he might have to doa job in Grosse Point where he is from. So …
Movie : Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a really funny movie! My wife and I watched it the other night and were both pleasantly surprised. The movie features Jason Segal (who plays Marshall on “How I Met Your Mother) and Kristen Bell (who starred in the recently canceled “Veronica Mars”). …

Pirates of the Caribbean 3
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is what we have all been waiting for; the second of two films in a vastly growing franchise that we have all grown to love Or not.
The original film was fantastic. It’s sequel, Dead Man�s Chest had potential but seemed, quite …
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)
I liked the animated versions of the Chipmunks movies past gone, and even if they air today we can all find some joy watching Alvin get his brother into serious trouble, but this new creation is just not cutting it for me, I saw this movie on HBO over …
Inside (UR, 2007) movie
In this hideous film, a woman and her boyfriend are riding in a car when they have a fatal car accident with another vehicle. The scene depicting the accident is somewhat bloody. We see that the woman in the car is pregnant. Her boyfriend doesn’t …
Push movie
“Push” is a movie about people with powers. It’s set in a world where many people have powers that an secret agency has classified under terms like “pusher”, “reader,” “mover” and “eraser”. I was curious about this movie, even more so since it’s the first non-serious movie I’ve seen …
The Company of Wolves (1984)
This is a unique werewolf movie based on “Red Riding Hood” and one I enjoyed watching. Angela Landsbury is the star and she does a wonderful job of playing the girl’s grandmother. Based on the clothing the characters wear, the story is set during Pilgrim days except it takes …
Breach (2007)
Working with the armed services of the United States of America is no easy task and it becomes even harder when you are employed to the person responsible for leaking sensitive information to the enemy and even more hard to be the one who is supposed to bring his …
Father of the Bride
I’ve probably already reviewed this movie a couple of times but this is one of the best wedding movies ever. I always get a little teary eyed when I watch it. Steve Martin is always wonderful to watch. This is the ultimate ‘Dad’ movie. I remember when we saw …
The Strangers: movie (2008)
I had been looking forward to seeing The Strangers. The preview made it look good, and I had been told by a friend that it was a very scary movie. I rented it and eagerly put it in my DVD player. Unfortunately, I was in for …
Legally Blonde (2001)

The original release date was July 13, 2001 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy and stars Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods, Luke …
Live Free or Die Hard
WOW! It’s the only word I could find once I watched this new Die Hard movie for the fifth time. I couldn’t honestly believe how incredibly good it was. I thought Bruce WIllis was too old to pull off that officer McClane roll again. But, then again, people laughed …
Disney’s Tarzan (1999)
Another telling of the story of the legendary ape man Tarzan as seen through the eyes of Disney artists. A family shipwrecked on a deserted island comes to terms with the reality that they may be on the island for a very long time, they build a home and …
MOVIE JOHNNY DANGEROUSLY
I had to write a review on this show: Johnny Dangerously. I HAD to, because I enjoyed it to the nth degree, and I just read a review that gave it a 2!
I think this is one of Michael Keaton’s best films, and it is hilarious! It is set …
Movie Step Up
I admit that I only watched this movie because the second one will soon be on the big screen. I only watched it in case that “Step Up 2 The Streets” makes some kind of reference to the first original movie.
I must admit that I was …
Cape Fear
I think Robert De Niro did a great job in the movie Cape Fear. I really like Cape Fear because it’s a different type of horror. This movie is not about ghosts or monsters, but it is instead about a prison inmate named Max that wants revenge. He was sent …
Harold and Maude movie
Harold and Maude is an odd film by Hal Ashby. Harold is a lonely young man who scares the hell out of his mother with practical jokes with the intention of making her believe he committed suicide. The mother is keen on finding a woman for Harold, but he …
Soul Survivors (movie)
When I came across the movie Soul Survivors in the Wal-mart clearance aisle, I had a faint memory of watching it at some point but couldn�t remember much about it. Normally, this tells me it isn�t a memorable movie, but because it was only $5 and had Eliza Dushku …
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 …
Harry potter
The Harry Potter is an ever-liked movie. Such movies are seen rare but all these kinds of movies give a kind of pleasure to the mind. I have watched all the parts of the Harry potter movie. The Last part of the Harry potter is excellent …

The Wild
I normally like Disney’s animated films. That’s why, when I saw their movie “The Wild” this past weekend, I was extremely disappointed.
Overall, the movie wasn’t bad. But, the plot did seem to be a bit re-hashed. It was almost like Disney combined elements of the movies Lion King and …
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial movie
The film that touched the world is how Steven Spielberg would describe his work, and for a good cause. People all over the world has been utterly spellbound by the story of a stranded alien who befriends a human toddler. I cannot remember how many times I …
A Low Down Dirty Shame Movie
“A Low Down Dirty Shame” is a 90s movie that was written and directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Not only does Keenen Ivory Wayans play the main character, Shame, he is also joined with a pretty decent cast: Jada Pinkett Smith, Charles S. Dutton, Andrew Divoff, and Salli Richardson-Whitfield.
Shame …
Daredevil Movie
Whoever told Ben Affleck that he can wear tights yet alone act (without Matt Damon) needs therapy. Bringing this comic book hero to life using this type of actor/acting is reprehensible and I dare say that they should have known better. While there are some actors cut out to …
Benny And Joon (Film)
Benny and Joon is a romantic movie, with some aspects of comedy, which focuses on the story of characters named Benny and Joon who are brother and sister. The main plot revolves around Joon being mentally disabled so it’s difficult for the two of them to keep a housekeeper …
The Lion King
I think this is probably one of the most classic movies that Disney ever put out. It’s a very good movie and a very good story. My sister used to love to watch this movie. She still watches it just not as much anymore. Almost everyone has seen this …
Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning (1985)
When will the saga end? That is the questing that keeps lingering on the lips and in the minds of the viewing public, me being one of them. For far too long the Jason serial killings in the Friday the 13th franchise been drawn out, done and redone to …
Foxes movie
I don’t usually like to watch movies from the seventies or eighties; but I made an exception and watched the movie “Foxes” today which was released in nineteen eighty. The first thing which attracted me to it too ewas the fact that it starred a much younger version of …
Step Up 3D
Today I had gone out with a couple of friends and decided to watch a movie. We had arrived at the Scotiabank Theatre and looked upon the movie listings and decided to watch Step Up 3D. So we bought our tickets and went into the theatre. The movie starts …
My Bill movie
Talk about overdone, that’s exactly what the film My Bill is. It’s a 1938 motion picture that actually did pretty well. Oddly, it’s a little disturbing to me.
We have a mother of four, whose husband is dead, and who is struggling to make sure her kids continue …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a movie I have watched and it’s actually a remake. What would you do if suddenly, you find yourself inheriting 40 billion dollars..? I can’t imagine that happening to me and hence, can’t think of the least or most possible way to save and spend …
Wrong Turn 2
Wrong Turn 2 opens on American Idol contestant Kimberly Caldwell driving in West Virginia as she prepares for her role on yet another reality show. She never makes it there because she’s attacked by a couple of rednecks who brutally kill her in the middle of the road. The …
Broadcast News movie (1987)
(Holly Hunter, William Hurt, Albert Brooks)
Broadcast News tells the tale of three industrious players in the television news business: Jane (Hunter), the driven, nose-to-the-grindstone news producer; Aaron (Brooks), the hands-on, genius field reporter, whom Jane has worked closely with for many years; Tom (Hurt), the handsome but …
Graduation Day
I don’t remember much about 1981 (I would have only been about 6) but, if the movie Graduation Day is any indication, I don’t think it was a year where there were a lot of good movies.
The film advertises itself as a thriller but it was more of a …
Devil Wears Prada
Plot
I watched this movie recently and fell in love with it. The story deals with a Andera who is a fresh graduate, and is looking for job in journalism but to get them she first goes for a job as a second personal assistant under the editor of a …
