The whole cast is crazy and when you …
Happy Feet (2006)
When I first watched the previews for Happy Feet, I was apalled and vowed never to watch the movie. Aside from a recent lack of creativity as far as CG movies are concerned, the concept of the movie seemed inexplicably bland. Indeed, the type of idea that someone comes …

Jared decision, fully supported by the sweetheart Sam, who acts as trainers sharks. An unexpected surprises appear, Bryce, a friend …
Diary of a mad black woman
Tyler Perry is an amazing actor and director. I loved this movie. Diary of a Mad black woman took you through all of the emotions that one would go through when there husband cheats on you and then makes you leave like you did something wrong, you actually feel …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
After three years from interpreting the role of Benjamin Franklin Gates, Nicholas Cage returns in this role with the sequel “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”. I believe that this role for Cage represents what Indiana Jones was and still is for Harrison Ford.
“National Treasure: Book of Secrets” has …
Henry and June movie
“Henry and June” was the name of a movie which was released in the nineteen nineties. When I first got cable television I used to see the movie going on regularly especially in the summer; however I didn’t pay much attention to it since I thought that it would …
Blood diamond
I have watched countless movies in the last year and personally rate Blood Diamond on a par with The Departed as 2006’s best movie. Another strong, mature performance from DiCaprio ensures this movie never flags.
In recent times there has been a glut of African “conscience” movies but this has …
A Knight’s Tale
A Knight’s Tale is all about the actor, Heath Ledger ability in interpreting a 14th Century super hero with a comic aspect. It is really strange writing a review about such a brave actor who recently left the world too soon when he had so much to give to …
Three and Out
I had never heard of this British film before, but it stars the new Bond girl, Gemma Arterton, and MacKenzie Crook from The Office fame, so I gave it a go. It’s a new film (2008) but, as with many British films, I haven’t seen it advertised anywhere so …
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
I thought The Hand That Rocks the Cradle was pretty good. This movie had some scary parts and was very suspenseful. I have to say that I really did like the storyline. The story is about a woman who stays with a family and takes care of the kids in …
Shrek
I don’t know if it was Toy Story or Shrek that ushered in the age of the animated feature. I know Toy Story came first, but it seems to me that Toy Story showed filmmakers what was possible in the new age of computer animation. The people behind Shrek …
Glory Road Movie
I loved the movie, “Glory Road.” I am a huge basketball fan, and this movie was the true story of the first coach to start five black players in the NCAA final game.
Because of the times, the movie had some lines which were no doubt truly spoken at …
The Good German
Back to basics. This film was shot entirely in black and white, reminiscient of the old days of film-making, before special effects or computer graphics. Risky, but it proved brilliant. The lack of digital enterntainment required the actors to step up to the plate, and they did so much …
Assassins (1995 movie)

The Marine
Typically, when you get a movie that stars a professional wrestler, you can expect something that is going to go out of its way to show off his muscles, put him in plenty of fight scenes and fill in the background with as many explosions as possible.
The movie, …
Happy Feet ( childrens movie )
My daughter rented this childrens movie last night. My grandkids have been dying to see Happy Feet, and they were not dissapointed.
This is a very cute and funny animated movie about Emperor Penguins, who are born to sing . The actors in Happy feet are : Robin Willams, Hugh …
Repo: The Genetic Opera
This movie was…interesting. Imagine a Tim Burton movie on crack, that’s what this is. When they say opera, they mean it as a vast majority of it is sung. This works for the most part, but a few of the early “songs” are basically just dialogue …
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 …

Furious 7 (action adventure movie)
It took me a long time to watch the movie Furious 7 because I figured that it would be too depressing to watch. This was especially after hearing stories about how scores of people cried in the theatre in the end.
After seeing it myself though I realised I was …
Saving Mr. Banks (2013 Film)
I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for Disney movies. They always have a way of dragging me back to my childhood to the happy times of being a kid without a care in the world.
Saving Mr. Banks is the real life approach to Mary Poppins. At first, when I heard …
Planet of the Apes movie
A film that relies a lot on that the audience must not be aware of how the film ends, actually the whole point is put in the open in the last scene. Charlton Heston plays an astronaut who, after a long sleep in space, crashes on an unknown planet …
Practical Magic movie
I love this movie with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. I love anything that has to do with ‘fairy tale’ witches, and this movie fits the bill. It’s a beautiful book as well; please read the book at some point in your life; it’s memorable and fantastic ! I …
Showtime movie
I am reviewing the movie, Showtime, which was released in 2002. It stars Robert Deniro as LAPD cop Mitch Preston, a tough no-nonsense man. Starring alongside him is Eddie Murphy, who plays Trey,a wanna be actor who also happens to be a cop. After shooting a camera …

Running Scared Paul Walker
I originally thought this was a remake of the old Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines movie but soon realized it wasn’t. I decided to watch it anyway and have to admit it was pretty good. It was fast paced enough for me and I could even deal with the …
The Bucket List (movie)
Two of my favorite actors in the same movie! The Bucket List stars Jack Nicholson as Edward and Morgan Freeman as Carter. Edward and Carter meet while in the hospital because both men are dying of cancer. Now the plot sounds pretty trite, but it is Jack Nicholson and …
Movie Deception
Overall this was an alright movie, I thought that it could have been a lot better. It kind of dragged out some during the beginning of the movie. There was also too much sex in the movie, I thought anyway. It’s about this accountant who meets this guy and …

Rocket Science movie
Unlike its title, the movie “Rocket Science” has almost nothing to do with anything scientific. However, I till admit that the plot makes it quite an interesting and unusual teenage film. In fact, I’m still trying to recall right now if I’ve ever seen another film with a similar …
Diamonds are Forever, movie
Picking up where “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” leaves off, “Diamonds are Forever” is one of the weaker Bond movies in the series and a personal low for Sean Connery. It’s a shame that the original James Bond returned for this one as he should have left the franchise …
Madagascar movie
Take a hypocondriac giraffe, an existential zebra, a tough-girl hippopotamus, and a classic New Yorker lion, transport them from the comforts of the best zoo in the world (Central Park) to the wilds of Madagascar, and you are bound to find comedy.
True friendship comes through as Alex the lion …

Sweet Revenge, 1998 movie
It does not happen very often that I cannot sit through a movie; however, that was the case with Sweet Revenge, 1998, also known as The Revengers’ Comedies, starring Sam Neill and Helena Bonham Carter. I couldn’t finish watching it. The plot summary provided on the back of the …

Heath Ledger’s A Knights Tale
Heath Ledger was best at his old-fashioned roles I think. He could play the gentleman, the rogue, even the villain, but his most touching films are ones that he is dawning an old-fashioned tunic, and this is one of those. This was the first movie of his that I …
Pulp Fiction (1994 film)
Quentin Tarantino is an unnatural director making movies with distinctively entertaining and yet thoughtful direction with unique presentation of a one of a kind story. I discover the very best of this style of his, not that there is anything bad in it, in Pulp Fiction.
Jules …

Bridget Jones’s Diary movie
This is one of my favorite movies. The movie is about a less-than-beautiful, frumpy woman looking for love.
Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is a secretary for a publishing company who is in love with her boss (Hugh Grant) who shamelessly flirts with her (and her skirt!). After the pair have …

Max and Mary (2009 movie)
Today, I watched one of the most wonderful animated films I have ever seen. It was a clay animated Australian film called “Max and Mary”. However, let me first begin my review by saying that it is absolutely not for children, since it contains quite a bit of mature …
Suburban Girl
Suburban Girl is a very sweet and funny story and I have a really fun time watching this. Sarah Michelle Gellar can act in romantic comedy roles as well and she’s a very pleasing eye-candy and a fun to watch. She appears to be brunette in this story …
Lost in Translation (2003)
I am guilty of being a bit prejudiced about films and although Lost in Translation has Bill Murray as one of the leads and he was so funny in Ghostbusters etc, I assumed maybe he had gone down the same ‘comedian, once funny, now does sentimental stuff’ route, along …
Blackadder Comedy
One of the funniest British sitcoms, the “Blackadder” series stars Rowan Atkinson as Edmund Blackadder, a sneaky and sinister nobleman always plotting around to secure his interests. There are four major installments in the series, each one set in a different historical period and, consequently, featuring a different Edmund …
My Best Friend’s Girl
I find this movie witty, funny but if only those some rude words or lewd could be ignored or totally deleted from the scenes, I would label this as a very user-friendly or a clean family and date movie. I love Kate Hudson’s acting; always have and I find …
