The Departed (R, 2006) movie
If ever there was a film that kept me riveted to my seat, it is The Departed starring Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matt Damon amongst a few other greats. The story pits the three in a race against each other and opposite forces (criminals vs. the police). …
Bram Stoker’s The Mummy
I honestly think there should be a law against Hollywood basing a movie off of a classic piece of literature and then making a film that doesn�t resemble the book at all.
Bram Stoker’s The Mummy is based off of his book The Jewel of the Seven Stars. While I …

1941 movie
I remember watching the movie 1941 quite a few years ago and thinking it was a very funny film. That’s why, when I had the opportunity to load it on our Netflix player and watch it this weekend, I did.

The Big Short (2015 Film)
As the days become smaller until the Oscars ceremony this coming February 28, I have become so anxious to watch every movie that is nominated.
The Big Short is currently one of the frontrunners of the race, and it is very hard to miss a frontrunner, otherwise you would blame yourself …
School of Rock (movie)
When School of Rock came to theaters a few years ago, I enjoyed it so much that I saw it two nights in a row with different people. I didn’t pay for it myself either time, but that’s beside the point. The reason I could see it …
Dad Savage movie
The film begins when a car crashes through the floor of a desolate house. Five people find themselves in the basement, but how did they get there and why?

PS, I Love You
Cecelia Ahern, the author, is the 22-year-old daughter of Ireland’s Prime Minister. It is quite rare to find a book about a 30 year-old-widow written by one so young, as many writers tend to write on younger characters based on their past experiences. Ms Ahern is brave to try …
Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill
The very last of the Sherlock Holmes movies to star Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce was Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill. Parts of this story are among my favorite moments. I suppose the actors had these roles so down pat by now that it felt more natural …
Sex in The City (The Movie)
I recently saw Sex in The City (The Movie), like i’m sure most of you women and some men have already dashed to the nearest theatre to see. I say most women and some men, based on my trip to the movies and the observations I made while …

Leatherheads
“Leatherheads” represent one of the first attemps for the actor George Clooney to be involved in a movie, not just as an actor, but also as a director. I say that after seeing Clooney being involved in a lot of dramatic movies, “Leatherheads” comes across as a surprise since …
Dragonball Evolution - (starring Justin Chatwin)
Getting another free movie pass enables me to watch Dragonball Evolution. Anticipating the movie to surpass every expectation that I have and wishing for it to be good. And this is what I have to say. Goku, the hero that we all love is a mediocre. …
Grease 2 movie
I like to watch “Grease 2″ I actually like this movie better than the original Grease.
This movie stars Michelle Pfieffer as Stephanie, who is the leader of the Pink Ladies and Maxwell Caulfield, who is the one trying to fit in to impress Stephanie.
In “Grease 2″ Didi Conn returns …

The Thrill of It All movie
This is another of my very top favorite Doris Day films, and it co-stars James Garner. These two make a great film pair, and I wish they’d done more than this movie and Move Over, Darling.
In this flick, Day stars as Beverly Boyer, happy housewife and mother. …
Summer Scars movie
When I first saw the cover of the dvd, to tell you the truth I didn’t expect anything higher than a movie which could only be described as b-rated. However, when I watched the movie I was more than surprised because I found it was actually quite interesting and …
The Brat Pack
Some of my favorite actors of all time were from the so-called “Brat Pack” of the ’80s. There is some debate on which actors are actually considered part of the Brat Pack. The undisputed ones are of course Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelsom, Andrea McCarthy, Anthony Michael Hall, …
Meet the Robinsons
Walt Disney had a dream. His dream was to bring color and magic alive to children everywhere. Along the way he had to employ his motto of, “Keep moving forward”. That dream, that process, and that motto are what bring Meet the Robinsons alive. It takes us to a …
The Hottie & The Nottie
Considering it had Paris Hilton in the starring role and the fact it came straight to DVD, I had a lot of doubts about the film The Hottie & The Nottie.
After all, this is 2008, you would think a movie that focuses just on a woman’s looks rather than …
Independence Day Will Smith
Although this movie is a couple of years old, it is still one of my favorite adventure movies. I love the fast paced scenes with the constant explosions. To be honest, I can’t resist a good movie with aliens invading. The story is about the planet earth trying to …
Blade Trinity movie
Just when you think they could not do better than the original and the sequel…they came out with Trinity…BAD IDEA. It’s nice that they wanted to bring the first, the original vampire into the mix of things, but, they did a real terrible job with his portayal. Dracula (Drake) …
The Dark Night
I have been a Batman fan since I was about five years old. In that time, I’ve followed every Batman movie made, from the good to the really bad.
I enjoyed “Batman Begins,” but it didn’t capture my imagination is the way I hoped it would. …
1408 (Movie)
Wow 1408 was a very good and scary movie. I really thought that the acting in the movie was great. Now the movie is about a guy who spends the nights in haunted hotels and other haunted places. He writes scary books based on his experiences. But he also does …
Battle Warrior Movie
Warning to all you Tony Jaa fans out there, don’t waste your time with this movie! I ended up making the mistake of buying this movie. The packaging of the 2 disc collector’s edition is pretty slick. It has Tony’s face on the front with his …
Hollywood Land movie
I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
I think it’s because this movie was something different from what I was expecting.
I think the movie, which is about former …
Desperate Escape movie
Though made in 2009, Desperate Escape only premiered on the Lifetime Movie Channel in February 2010. Make no mistake this is a B-movie with a standard, much-used plot and not a single surprise within in, unless you’re new to TV and movies. What it does have, however, …
The Hours (2002)
Based on one of my favourite novels ever, Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf, this movie explores the inner world of three different women, living in three different times. They’re all connected to eachother somehow, the first being none other than the writer, Virginia Woolf (played by Nicole Kidman), who …
The Day After Tomorrow
Director Ronald Emmerich has given us some of the most adored Hollywood blockbusters such as Independence Day and Godzilla but his new venture “The Day After Tomorrow” is not up to par with his earlier work. In this flick he uses the most sought after object of the present …
Monsters, Inc. movie
My daughter has never seen the movie Monsters Inc before so I made sure to sit down and watch it with her this past weekend.
It had been a while since I’ve seen this movie and I didn’t remember much about it. But, after watching it again, I can remember …
Johnny English - Film 2008
Not being a fan of either Rowan Atkinson (who plays Johnny English) nor a fan of James Bond, it often surprises me that this DVD version of the film is in my collection at all. Every so often when the mood is right it is taken out and …
The Karate Kid (2010)
I’m not really much of a karate fan. The word karate sent my thoughts to Asia where these bunch of really flexible asians start kicking some sorry guys’ ass and while they’re at it, they utter a lot of chinese that would make me go, “what the efff are …
G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra (Movie)
This movie is a very action-packed movie and it stars Channing Tatum, Rachel Nichols, Sienna Miller, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marlon Wayans, Dennis Quaid, and Saïd Taghmaoui. It’s an all-star cast and the other actresses and actors that are famous like Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ray Park, and Arnold Vosloo are here as …
Final Destination 3 (2006)
The third and hopefully the last in the trilogy known as Final Destination. This time they go too far and make the movie too predictable. Whereas in the first movie, you can understand to some extent what happened after the boy had a premonition in the form of a …
