film “Ginger Snaps Back” (2004)
I really enjoyed the film Ginger Snap and I though this movie would be similar but it was not. Basically the makers of the first movie did not expect it to be a cult favorite. It was not made with a lot of money but did very …
Halloween II (2009) movie
Rob Zombie’s journey from musician to filmmaker has certainly been interesting. The goth-rocker’s journey from ‘Dragula’ to ‘Devil’s Reject’ has been an odd mix of trashy screams and atmospheric horror, Rob Zombie’s films have always been something else. And ’something else’ is probably the best way to …
The Wolverine 2013 Movie
I saw the long-awaited solo movie “The Wolverine”. After the mixed feelings regarding the previous Wolverine installment “X - Men Origins: Wolverine ” this next part is already a fact. Even in the revolutionary format 4D X! Is it worth the fourth dimension ? And the third ? And …
United 93 movie
It has been five years since the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. For most, the wounds are still raw. I wasn’t sure if people would really be interested or prepared for a film about any of the events that took place that day. I know …
For Richer or Poorer
The movie for Richer or Poorer is so magnificently funny I almost wet myself over laughing. It is about a rich couple who’s marriage is falling apart and they are trying to get a divorce. While this is happening their personal accountant is stealing money from …

Christmas in Wonderland
My very favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, stars in this holiday movie, “Christmas in Wonderland”. I just saw it for the first time when it aired on TV, and I have mixed feelings about it.

Speed Racer (2008)
This movie is a live action movie that has been created off the cartoon TV series that is still being aired on the Boomerang channel and a newly revised series on the Nicktoons Networks. The movie is just abominable if that’s the right word to use for it. Terrible …

Movie: Saw the Final Chapter
Synopsis: The Saw movie franchise is finally brought to a close with this final installment which brings back some characters from earlier movies.

An American Werewolf in London movie
American Werewolf in London is one of my all time favorite films for many reasons. First of all, it is a glossy horror flick that is actually set in recognizable areas of London, although the scenes supposedly on the Yorkshire moors in the beginning were actually filmed in …
Sling Blade movie
A retarded man returns to society after spending 25 years in prison for the murder of his mother and her boyfriend. He is met by skepicism from the people he meets but shows no sign of aggressive behaviour. Instead, he’s quite the opposite; kind and caring. At least until …
Alot Like Love (2005 movie)
Love is a complicated matter…and this movie shows just how complicated it can get. Mixed signals…lack of communication…looking for love in all the wrong places…having to make terrible decisions…the list goes on and on. This movie would have done much better if it was just a drama. The comedy …
Lucy Gallant
I adore Lucy Gallant. It’s a film about the Texas oil boom. Jane Wyatt plays the title role of Lucy Gallant, a woman running away from her old love and who ends up stranded right in the middle of oil country. She quickly meets the tall …
Wild Things 2, thriller film by Jack Perez
Here’s a sequel to that movie with two famous actresses who kissed each other on screen. Ticket sales were pretty high for Wild Things and video sales were much bigger just for one scene. It would only make sense to cash-in on that one sequence and make Wild Things …
In Pursuit of Happyness
A must see, feelgood film.
This film shows that perserverence can overcome everything.
Believe in yourself even when others dont and there is no limit to what you can achieve.

The one thing that amazes me when I see the simpsons …
P2 Movie
When I watched the Starz Saturday night premiere for this movie, I couldn’t help wondering why this movie was not promoted very much before and when it hit theaters. I believe that it was hands down one of the best suspense movies I had seen in a long while …
The Kids are Alright Movie
Start with a lesbian couple, throw in a sexy B-list starlet, and some precocious teens and you have The Kids Are Alright, a surprising contender for several of this year’s Oscars. I really wanted to like this movie, and I mostly did, however there was something about it that …
Netflix
I’ve taken the time to review Netflix before and still remain as big of a fan of the company as I was months ago.
But, I recently purchased a new computer and because of that, I was able to unlock the full potential of the Netflix site. If I was …
The New Daughters of Joshua Cabe movie
This is the third Joshua Cabe movie and it’s the third set of daughters. The original casting was the best. You just can’t beat the combination of Buddy Ebsen, Karen Valentine, Lesley Ann Warren, and Sandra Dee. There’s a lot of talent there. When Cabe’s …
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 …
The Clone Wars film
“The Clone Wars” is a 2008 film with the computer animated characters who would later appear on “The Clone Wars” TV series on The Cartoon Network. The movie essentially acts as an introduction to the main characters and the conflicts you will expect to see in the series. …

Robin Hood Movie (2010)

I don’t know if it was worth the $30 we spent on tickets and popcorn. …
Crank (movie)
This movie is hilarious not in a slapsticky, Jack Black kind of comedy funny but it is really funny. Jason Statham plays Chev Chelios, a hitman who happens to have got himself poisoned and will die if he doesn’t keep physically moving. Amy Smart plays Kate, the love interest …
Incredible Hulk
The Incredible Hulk represents a vast improvement over Ang Lee’s 2003 effort that disappointed Hulk fans across the world with its drab storyline and bland characters. Conversely, the Incredible Hulk (2008) provides the viewer with everything you would expect from a summmer “popcorn movie”, including lots of …
Sahara movie
After the defeat in Tobruk in 1942, Joe Gunn leads his troops through the desert of Sahara to get away from Rommel’s army and reach his allied forces.
This film is completely lacking all form of intelligence. I doubt it’s even historically correct, because everything that happens seem so over-dramatized …
Knocked Up
Another R-rated flick with the title setting the tone and giving the potential viewer a pretty good idea of what to expect. A one night stand results into pregnancy; the girl, Alison, decides to keep the baby despite it threatening her career and despite her mother’s advice to have …
Flight 93
I was promted to buy this movie after writing a memorial poem for those that were on the plane that crashed on 9-11. The movie was so close to the actual event that I found myself wishing that the outcome was different than what we all know. …

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 …
Movie : Haeckel’s Tale
Haeckel’s Tale is yet another one hour short film from the Showtime Series Masters of Horror. Directed by John McNaughton I would say its definitely the weakest entry from the first season of the show and in the bottom five of both seasons of the show. John …

High School Musical
When I first heard of Disney’s High School Musical franchise, my first thought was “Not another cheesy teen flick!”, and I was sure I wouldn’t like it.
One evening, I was flicking through channels, to find something decent to watch, when I came across High School Musical 1 playing on …
Lady in the Water (PG-13, 2006) movie
This movie got a really bad rap. I think that M. Night Shyamalan makes some really great films. I knew that this movie would not be “scary” because of the things that were said before it was released. But what people have to understand about this …
Funny People
Funny People stars Seth Rogen as Ira Wright, a young man struggling to make it as a comedian, and Adam Sandler, as George Simmons, a stand-up comedian turned movie star, who finds out that he has a presumed terminal illness.

Lars and the Real Girl (PG-13, 2007) movie

This was a controversial …
Belle (historical drama movie)
I love watching historical movies, and that is why I was so eager to see “Belle” after I had seen the trailer only months before it was released. What piqued my interest about it even more was that it was supposed to be based on the story revolving around a …
Annabelle (horror movie)
A friend of mine who loves horror movies encouraged me to watch the trailer for Annabelle, and I knew I just had to since it was supposedly based on the story of one of the haunted dolls that resides in Ed and Lorraine Warren’s doll room. I was so terrified …
A Doll’s House (1973)
I like movies based on plays, they usually have more depth to them. A Doll�s House, 1973, starring Anthony Hopkins and Claire Bloom, is one such movie. Action fans will probably find it slow and boring, but I enjoyed the excellent performance by both leading actors. The story takes …

In this movie, Bad Tidings, viewers …
Tekken (2010) Film
Is the 2010 Tekken movie a proper tribute to the game it was based on? Or will it follow the footsteps of the vast majority of movies based on video games and simply—¦ well, suck?
