Land of the Dead (2005) Movie
Land of the Dead is the fourth zombie film directed by the master of zombies, George A. Romero. I am not overly familiar with Romero’s previous movies to be honest. My favourite all time zombie movie is Return of the Living Dead which has a lot of …
The Dark Knight
I absolutely enjoyed The Dark Knight. I went to the movie thinking that this was just going to be another action packed movie that was ripped from the pages of a comic book, but boy was I wrong. I like the character change they made for Alfred because he …

Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West
PBS has some of the most interesting shows on TV in our area. One of my favorite ones, they aired in 2002 was “Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West”. It was a Canadian version of Frontier House. My husband says I\’m obsessed with shows of this type …
Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
One of the many vampire vs. werewolf movies that have graced the silver screen, New Moon rates among one of the better attempts. It had a good blend of romance, action, and suspense, while not overplaying the supernatural card. The mixture was good, but and it added …
Arbitrage (Movie)
“Arbitrage,” starring Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon, is the story of a billionaire’s fall from grace. The title implies that the movie will be about international investment fraud, which sounds interesting, if a bit dry. However, the film pleasantly surprises by delivering an unexpected depth.
For the genre, …
Cider House Rules (1999)
“The Cider House Rules” is a 1999 Miramax movie, a production company that I find traditionally does excellent movies. At 116 minutes the English language movie is just about the perfect length. I never felt like it was padded to occupy more screen time nor did I feel cheated …
First Knight (1995)
This movie is another recreation of King Author and the knight of the round table story that has been told and retold over the years and given a modern twist at different stages in its lifespan. This version’s scenario has a futuristic look, feel and appeal unlike the previous …
The Rum Diary (2011 film)
This turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment. As a fan of Hunter S. Thompson, upon whose 1961 novel this film is based, and the movie’s lead, Johnny Depp, I was expecting something far zanier and more entertaining (the obvious touchstone being 1998’s “Fear and Loathing in Las …
Tale of Despereaux movie
Synopsis: A young mouse and his rat friend swear an oath to help a princess.
What I liked about this movie: While there were quite a few things I didn’t like about this movie (more on that later), I will say the film did have its moments.
For one, Despereaux definitely …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
It is very difficult for a sequel to make the audience feel the same excitement as the first movie, and this sequel didn’t quite live up to that… However, it didn’t fail either. The second Transformers movie did a bad job, and a good job of giving us …
The Prestige
The story takes place in the last century London. Two talented stage magicians, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) become rivals, competitors, and eventually enemies. It all starts with Angier’s wife dying onstage when a dangerous magic trick goes wrong. Angier blames Borden for it. From …
The Count of Monte Cristo,2002 Movie
The Count of Monte Cristo, 2002. Apart from the book, this movie is decent. If you have not read the novel by Alexander Dumas and are not familiar with the story, you will probably enjoy it. However, the fans of the book will just shake their heads. The story …
Hellboy 2 The Golden Army
Hellboy 2 The Golden Army is a good movie for a guy to take his girl to if he wants to get some good relationship points. This movie is great and will hold your attention from start to finish. I liked the special effects but I have to …
Deep Rising
Deep Rising is a movie show that I’ve watched with my ex-boyfriend before and I really find this story such a B-O-R-E.
Starred by Treat Williams and some other casts, this is a story about some people on a ship and there are some bad guys trying to get …
Borat film
This movie was overall alright. I enjoyed watching some parts of the movie. Some parts not so much. In some parts it was boring or wasn’t really funny. You could also tell that it was a low budget film. There were a couple of parts that were funny. It’s …
Dark Ride movie
Cast: Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Cathy), Patrick Renna (Bill), David Clayton Rogers (Steve), Alex Solowitz (Jim), Andrea Bogart (Jen), Jennifer Tiisdale (Liz), Dave Warden (Jonah)
This has got to be one of the most inane movies I’ve ever seen. So maddening that I was hoping the murderer would do …
Street Kings (2008) movie
Well Keanu Reeves is back again and I have to say he seems exactly the same. His acting skills being minimal but I try to get past that to watch the movie. The story for me was really complicated so I am just going to try and lay out …
Nell movie
Nell is the film where award-winning actress Jodie Foster first tries her hand at directing, so I thought it should be worth watching. It has such a weird premise; a woman is raised without any human companion and brought up in the wild. The lady of course …
Dante’s Peak movie
As a rule, I love disaster movies. I’ve watched a bunch, and many of them are on my favorite movies list. I was therefore eager to see this movie when it first came out. I remember being a little disappointed in the action. Recently, I …
Movie Master and Commander
We watched Russel Crowe the other night in a movie that came out a few years ago called Master and Commander.
Russel Crowe is another actor that I find does an extremely good job when he portrays charactors and acts. In this movie takes place during the Napoleonic …
Quantum of Solace
The movie released in India today, and I saw the first show on the First day - a rarity for me, made possible however since it was a holiday!
My overall first impressions, “Pretty Good”

The Mask (Movie 1994)
It’s funny, it has action, it has likable even lovable characters and it has a nice story. Down on his luck, a guy stumbles unto a mask with magical powers, it transforms whomever wheres it into a maniac animated comic-like madman with a knack for disaster. Jim Carrey stars …

Saw V (2008) movie
Saw V is the latest instillation in the Saw’s series not much really too great to say about it except that it does keep the story going. The series itself has kind of fallen out for me but the movies have become a staple of the horror movie genre …
Hairspray (movie)
I watched the movie Hairspray, the new movie and not the original, for kicks and grins. Was I disappointed! I suppose that I should have taken my own cues that I was not too impressed with the first version of Hairspray! Anyway, if you want to listen to pop …

Little Shots of Happiness (R, 2000) movie
I thought I would like this movie more than I did. The filming is extremely grainy. And while that might have added to the authentic feel, I found it intrusive. Additionally, Frances is quite a boring lady, even after she decides to leave her …
Ghostrider
I watched “Ghostrider” with my nephew this afternoon. I had really hoped it would live up to the hype, unfortunately I didn’t think it did.
In the first place I don’t think Nicholas Cage fit the part very well, or at least his voice didn’t and I felt he …
Film “The kids are all right” (2010)
I had heard so much about this film. It sounded great and I liked the story, it sounded different from all the same old movies I had seen. I heard an interview with a star on the radio and they played clips and it sounded really interested. …
Day of the Dead (2008)
This not quite-a-remake of George Romero’s classic zombie film is an odd creature. While it tries its hardest to be its own entity, any daring strides toward individuality are often done away with as the film pulls back for the odd, hollow reference back to the original it’s based …
Despicable Me (2010) movie
Well I decided to go see this movie with the girl day after opening day and the theater was packed with excitement and I can not lie I was ready and in the mood for a good laugh and this movie did not fail or that at all.
The …
Boogie Nights
When I saw the movie “Boogie Nights” on the television guide, I used to think that it was probably a movie from the nineteen seventies starring the American actor John Travolta. However, recently I realised that I was actually confusing the movie with another movie named Saturday Night Fever …

Circus of Fear movie
The movie “Circus of Fear” is one of the actor Christopher Lee’s older movies. At first I got the impression from the title that it was going to be a horror film, but, instead it turned out to be more of a mystery/suspense film. Personally, even though the …
Leaving Las Vegas movie
Leaving Las Vegas is probably the most tragic movie I have ever seen, but at the same time it is strangely uplifting on another level. It is the story of two broken souls that come across each other at their lowest point and see the similarity, see something in …
Frankenstein
My daughter has found she likes watching old black and white movies with me; including some classic horror movies. So we took the time to sit down and watch the 1931 film Frankenstein last night.
This movie is probably not suitable for all children. But, I know my daughter ended …

South Pacific movie
South Pacific is a classic 1959 musical that began as a stage play and which has been redone over the years. It’s a marvelous motion picture with outstanding cinematography, sensational musical numbers, and some superb acting. Let me say up front that this review includes a key …
Happy Feet
From Memphis to Norma.. this movies got it all!If you’re a music lover then this movie is for you! It has all genres of music. The dialogues are witty and of course it also gets quite sentimental at times (pass me a tissue!), but overall its time and money …
BATMAN (NEW)
This is not your standard cartoon mind Batman movie! I am not sure how children will react to this DVD. The Newest Batman movie, the one that came out only yesterday, Oct 18, 2005, on DVD, is an adult film to me. That should be of high interest to …
Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) movie
I have been able to see almost every new movie being shown in cinemas right now because of the 1 year off I have gifted myself. And so far, I will rate Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) as the most promising in terms of acting, story, excitement, and well, …
Million Dollar Baby
I watched the movie Million Dollar Baby for the second time last night and, even though the movie supposedly got a lot of good reviews, I really just can’t see what people see in it.
Hillary Swank plays a female boxer who is trained by Clint Eastwood. And, while the …
13 Assassins (2010) - Movie
I saw this film with a friend for his birthday. He loves Japanese culture, and I actually met one of the actors, Tsuyoshi Ihara, at a Christmas party at my school. All the girls were crowding around him, he had the presence of a rock star. …
Robot & Frank (2012)
This is a movie about an elderly man. Yes, it’s got a robot in it and, yes, the old man used to be a cat burglar, but it’s still a movie about an old person. That may not excite some of the younger generation. But for those of us …

Coco (2017 Pixar Animated Film)
Unlike recent years, animated movies really dove down in quality. The Emoji Movie is considered as one of the worst movies ever made; The Lego Ninjago’s critical acclaim failed to match its predecessors’ wit; and then we have Despicable Me 3 and The Boss Baby. We did have The Lego …

Ehit is a online site that allows you to rent movies through the mail just like netflix and blockbuster does. They have a free trial that you can try out the service. They send you two movies in one envelope. I think the cheapest price that they offer is …
