Spinout movie
I’ve watched Spinout numerous times in my life, and I both like it and dislike it. I’ll say straight up that the reason I’m not fond of it is that I don’t like the ending. From the time I first saw it as a little girl, I …
The Truman Show
I had planned on going to bed early last night. But, I ended up staying up late anyway because I came across the Truman Show on one of our movie channels.
It was the first time I had seen the movie in years and it was every bit as good …
Movie Moment Of Truth: Broken Pledges
Moment Of Truth: Broken Pledges is a Lifetime movie about a mother who loses her son to college hazing. Evidently, as the story goes, the young man was being inducted into a college fraternity and during the process, was forced to drink copious amounts of alcohol, which in the …
Urban Legends: Bloody Mary, movie
An interesting little horror movie, “Urban Legends, Bloody Mary” is the tale of a vengeful spirit coming back to take revenge years later and several girls accidentally say her name. The story opens with the proverbial tale of the legend and shows how Bloody Mary came to be after …
Skyline: The Movie
Another hour and a half of my life wasted watching the movie Skyline.
I love science fiction but this just made my eyes roll. It stars Scottie Thompson (as Elaine) and Eric Balfour (as Jarrod), a couple who fly to Los Angeles for the birthday party of Jarrod’s good …
Pterodactyl (2005) movie
I wanted to see this movie for a long time as I like dinosaur movies and it turned out to be rather decent! Yes, it’s not exactly another Jurassic Park but the movie has a solid enough plot and the pterodactyls looked pretty good. The only real hitch is …
Signs (movie)
I really enjoyed watching this movie and have seen it twice or maybe even three times. I really liked it and think it was a really good movie. Everyone that I know that watched it liked it. I wouldn’t say it’s one of the scariest movies I have seen …
Movie Mad Money
“Mad Money” is simply a great movie with mixture of comic and dramatic moments. The main actors in this movie are Diane Keaton, Ted Danson, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes and all of them do their part well, however Keaton gives that extra bit more and it shows.
“Mad Money” …
Bourne Ultimatum
The third part of Robert Ludlum’s highly acclaimed Jason Bourne films, Bourne Ultimatum is entertainment at its best. Directed by Paul Greengrass and starring Matt Damon, Joan Allen, Julia Stiles, and David Strathairn, the movie picks up where it left off with Bourne still desperate to find out who …
The Woman in Black (horror movie)
I’ve heard a lot of people say that the movie “The Woman in Black” was either stupid or boring or both. I’ve also seen it rated from below average to average in various places on the internet. However, for some reason I didn’t think that it was all that bad. …
In the Bedroom, movie
Based on the short story, “Killings,” by Andre Dubus, “In the Bedroom” is a smart film that can resonate with even the most emotionally closed off of people. This is a film that hits us all where it hurts the most: the death of a child. It’s a story …
Death Race (2008)
Death Race is an awesome action/racing movie, this movie contain a high level of blood and gore and tons of crazy explosions, and of course, intense races.
The plot sets in US, 2012 where the economy gone horribly down. Jensen Ames (Jason Stratham) a recently unemployed steel worker and …
Get Smart
I recently watched the show Get Smart in re-runs and thought it was a fantastic show. So, when I had an opportunity to rent the movie based on the series, I figured I would give is a shot.
I have to say, the film Get Smart is absolutely hillarious.
Whenever you …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
While Transformers began with children in mind, Revenge of the fallen couldn’t have landed further without earning an “R” rating. While the robots are more numerous and larger in size, I must say I am a little disappointed with the lack of responsibility taken up by the team to …
Black Cat Episode 7 (Anime)
Black Cat Episode 7 begins with Train battling Creed in order to avenge Saya’s death. Eve finds Train and she and Sven get him out of there and take him to Sven’s hideout. There he recovers while Eve learns more by reading books.
This episode was really good …
Deja Vu DVD Movie
I am not sure if there is a Deja vu, in real life, or that time could be traced back to where we wanted things not to happen. This is the case for the movie Deja vu, which stars my favorite actor, Denzel Washington.
This movie is about Denzel, …
The Thing from Another World movie
This film was directed by Howard Hawks back in the 1960s, but for some reason the famous director let an unknown filmmaker take all the credit. Perhaps it wasn’t good for is rumour to be affiliated with a story like this, I’m not sure.
Anyway, the plot centres around a …
Moonraker movie
In this Bond film (the series was starting to get very long by this time, but the creators kept doing them as they were all successful at the box office) the terrible Jaws makes his second appearance to stop Bond from completing his mission, however, the villain appears a …
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 …
House of wax
Yesterday I watched the movie of House of wax. Well, it was really frightening. The main caracters are Elisha Cuthbert, Paris Hilton, Chad Michael Murray, Jared Padalecki, Jon Abrahams. A group of friends on their way to a college football game falls prey to a pair of murderous brothers …
The Vow Movie
One of my favorite actors is Channing Tatum and when it comes to actress, it should be Rachel McAdams, Sandra Bullock and Kate Hudson. I enjoyed the film Mean Girls not because of Lindsay Lohan but because of the contentious character of Rachel McAdams. I became a loyal fan …
The Immigrant movie
Charlie Chaplin plays an honest man who immigrates to America. As soon as he reaches the new country he runs in to trouble immedietly.
I think this is one of Chaplin’s most underrated short films. The story has a nearly perfect balance between hysterical physical humour and social criticism, and …
The Professional: Movie
The Professional is an absolutely fantastic film. Normally, the crime genre isn’t really for me. But this story is beautifully told about an assassin and how his life changes when he reluctantly takes on the responsibility of a 12-year-old girl.
First of all, the acting is excellent. The assassin Leon …
Netflix movie rent
Most people know what Netflix is, but for those that don’t it’s a business that lets people rent movies by mail. It only works if you have a computer and internet access. How Netflix works is that you sign up with them online, they have different memberships to choose …
Iron Man Movie
Action movies aren’t always the types of movies I like to watch. But if my boyfriend can get me to sit down and watch them, then I will. Iron Man is in all those comics that he reads, so I wasn’t really interested in the movies because I really …
Daffy Duck’s Fantasy Island (1983)
This cartoon movie is a compilation of various shorts cartoons that was stretched out to feature length. The background of this movie is about daffy Duck finding a treasure map that leads him to a deserted island that has a magical wishing well designed to grant the holder of …
Awake thriller
Like any good psychological thriller, this film makes you think about the “what ifs” in your own life. The film revolves around a rich young man named Clay(Hayden Christensen) who seems to have it all; money, wealth, and a beautiful fiance (Jessica Alba). However, the one thing …
Confessions of a Call Girl (NR, 2007)
I am actually ashamed to admit that I watched this film in its entirety. I should have known that a film in which Bokeem Woodbine and Tamala Jones are cast in main roles as a powerful doctor/lawyer husband wife team, would be treacherous. Where do …
Far and Away movie
Though I tend to love a Ron Howard movie because it’s most always well crafted and told with respect as well as flair, I hadn’t yet watched Far and Away until a friend sent it to me a while ago. I actually watched it in pieces; couldn’t quite …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I had been waiting on the edge of my seat for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to come out. I watched all of the movies prior to this one on DVD three or four times in the last month, getting reaquainted with the story and the …
Lost in Translation film
“Lost in Translation” is an amazing film by director-writer Sofia Coppola starring Bill Murray, Scarlett Johanson, Giovanni Ribisi, and Anna Farris. The film takes place over the course of one week and is set in Japan.
In this flick, Johanson stars as Charlotte, a soul searching philosophy major …
When Harry Met Sally
When Harry Met Sally was one of Meg Ryan’s old movie. I like her so much as an actress that’s why I bought a DVD of this movie. At first I was skeptical if it was a good movie. I was able to watch it so my verdict is …
The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things (R, 2006)
Those who have become familiar with the acting (and now directing) style of Asia Argento will more than likely love this film. The daughter of Italian film director Dario Argento is known for her stint in the American action cheese puff 2002 film “XXX” (starring Vin Diesel.) …
Monk Season 6
The sixth season of Monk was the last season to air directly on television and now the seventh season is about to start. I watched the boxed set all in a row because when the show aired, I only saw a few of the episodes, maybe 2 or 3. …
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014)
I’ve enjoyed every Hunger Games movie that’s released thus far. I enjoy the franchise so much that I even read the books. When I went to watch The Hunger Games Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014) in theatres, I hoped that this movie would live up to my expectations. I …
Jennifer’s Body Movie
I consider Jennifer’s Body as a teen horror movie. The film’s story revolves around a young girl’s weird transformation which changed the lives of everyone in their town. Jennifer becomes possessed because of some dark ritual performed on her, giving her inhuman abilities. In turn, she …
The Cat in the Hat
I have never read the book The Cat in the Hat. I have read the sequel to it. But, the original is one I just have never had available to me; either as a kid or as a parent.
So, when I watched the animated Cat in the Hat film …
The Turn of the Screw 1999 movie
This movie is based on a horror / ghost story by Henry James. A young governess is hired to take care of two children, a boy and a girl. The number 1 condition their uncle has hired her on is to never contact him about the children - never. …
The Ghost and the Darkness movie
When I saw the Ghost and the Darkness on sale at the store I had to buy it for my collection. This is one of the most suspense filled movies I’ve ever seen and definitely one that will make you think.
I think this is one of Val Kilmer’s and …
Valentine movie
Valentine with David Boreanaz and Denise Richards.
This horror clone of Friday the 13th is an entertaining flick, but since it has been preceded by many similar works of the same pattern it loses its attraction. Generate an unknown masked killer with a grudge. Insert …
The happening movie
The happening was a pretty good movie. It’s about something happening in parts of the world where it makes people do weird things and eventually kill themselves. I thought it was well directed because it will let you know what is happening but yet it is not gory at …
Breaking the waves movie
The danish director Lars von Trier has been hailed as a master of cinema and won many prizes on the Cannes film festival the last 15 years. To me he is a very overrated filmmaker who never really managed to develop his own cinematic expression that couldn’t be mistaken …
Black Christmas, Glen Morgan Movie

The Prestige Movie
The Prestige, directed by Christopher Nolan, stars Hugh Jackman, Micahael Caine and Christopher Bale. I thought that it was is an action packed thriller movie. It is one of those movies that keeps you right on the edge of suspense and wanting to know what is going …
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
I have always thought Will Ferrell was a funny talented actor. His movies are among the best out there. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, was once again a funny film. However, it definitely wasn’t his best effort.
What I believe was basically a spoof of Days of Thunder, …
Easy A (Movie)
This is a typical high-school movie in which the gossip mill spreads like wildfire, and one clean-cut high school girl’s reputation gets ruined by an accidental lie. The movie features Emma Stone as Olive, who was forced to tell a lie to her very petulant best friend, and when …

X - Men 3 (movie)
Last night, my husband and I rented the third X Men movie on demand. I rarely praise movies or feel like they would be good enough to acutally go and see in the theater, but I must admit, I was really impressed with this movie. I think …
