The Mist movie
I can quite honestly say that “The Mist” was the best horror film I have seen all year.
The acting was spectacular, the casting was great and the script was magical. I was actually quite surprised because in my opinion the horror industry has been lacking in the last …
Big Hero 6 (Movie)
I keep seeing pictures of this movie in several sites I’ve been surfing and I got curious. Since this movie is from Disney, I didn’t expect it to be a ‘Hero story’. But they did a good job.
Starting from the design of ‘San Fransokyo’, it is a bit weird, …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
I never saw the trailer for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I only saw it’s poster on the cinema hall at the mall. So I was a bit apprehensive about watching it. I mean, I couldn’t think of any interesting story that is related to making it rain …
Tom Brown’s School Days movie
I had never heard of 1940’s Tom Brown’s School Days before watching it this afternoon. It was an intriguing view on honesty, integrity, and strictness at an English school called Rugby.
What fascinated me the most was the appearance of Cedric Hardwicke as Dr. Thomas Arnold. At the …
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
I cannot remember the time that I was impressed with the movie version of the book. I suppose the written word is just too difficult to put into action, but with the first book of Harry Potter, I thought the subject of wizards and witches should be easier and …

The Amityville Horror (1979), movie
The original tale of the Amityville horror is one of the best haunted house movies around, and it’s a personal favorite because it manages to pull off a great scare without useless killings and excessive blood. This is the type of movie that reminds us all, how horror movies …
The Cabin in The Woods Movie

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 …

I must admit that “Love Actually” is one of my favourite all time movies. What makes this movie so special is the fact that it tackles the theme of love from various angles in a simple and straight forward manner.
In this movie we get to meet eight different stories …
Movie Descent
My cousin loved this movie when she saw it in the theaters. So when it came out on dvd she bought it and gave it to me to let me borrow and watch it. I thought it was really good. The only thing I didn’t like it in was …
The Jacket (R, 2005) movie
I really like Adrian Brody. And seeing him starring in something so trippy was a treat for me. The Jacket is a really interesting film that merges psy-fi with a little of that thriller drama stuff. Brody portrays a veteran who dies, but then is brought …
Movie 300
The movie 300 was a very great movie. At first it was hard to get into but as the movie when on I got really into it and the story behind it. If you like movies that are war-oriented and that have a underlying theme then this …
Saw IV (Unrated, 2007) movie
I was not a fan of the Saw movies at first. But by the time the third one was due to be released, I had a newfound respect. This is because I like the way the director and writers have pulled together all three stories into one …

Michael Bay does it again with Transformers. With his known use of 100% authentic special effects, who wouldn’t love his movies?

It was an OK movie but not the best …

Up is a great animated movie by Pixar. I must say that there is a great content in this movie and that the old man and the little kid is really hilarious. It is not really that funny, but if you watch it closely and watch how the …

National Treasure movie
I admit that I don’t like watching Nicholas Cage movies. There is nothing wrong with his acting skills; however for me he represent an actor with a lot of contrast. I really enjoyed watching his movie “The Rock”; however I really hated to watch his movie “City of Angels”. …
Dolores Claiborne
It’s a shame that this film, based upon the book by Stephen King, doesn’t get as much notice as some of his bigger hits. While the likes of Misery and The Shining are certainly worthy of the praise heaped upon them, and plenty of others are certainly worthy of …
I know who killed me
I like Lindsay Lohan, that’s why I decided to watch this movie. Drama? Thriller? Comedy? Mistery? I don’t really know what to call this movie’s genre. It’s about a girl missing, abducted by a serial killer, and instead the found the missing identical …

The Movie Open Range (2003)
As far as actors go I think Kevin Costner is okay. He is not my favorite but he does do well in some movies. I thought he did okay in Dances with Wolves and since I do like a good western ( note I said good i.e. Pale …
Wizard of Oz Movie

Brotherhood of the Wolf-(Le Pacte Des Loups)- (2001)

There is a beast terrorizing the countryside and killing innocent villagers. Two unlikely heroes show up to investigate and solve the mystery …
Blair Witch Project 2 (Movie)
Blair Witch Project 2 is a movie that I like because of Jeffery Donovan, but that’s about it. I had seen the movie a long time ago when it was still in the theater, and thought it was so-so. At least it’s better than the first movie. It picks …
Movie: Transformers
I recently watched “Transformers”, the new live action and computer animated flick based on the cartoon from the mid 1980’s. Wow.
Having been a fan of ‘Transformers’ as a child, I had really high expectations for the film. Every single expectation I had was met and exceeded! Right down …
The Knowing (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “The Knowing” starring Nicholas Cage and Rose Byrne, did not in any way, do Nicholas Cage any justice. For his talents, and the other movies he has so wonderfully acted in, this film was a real flop. The plot was a little suspenseful, I’ll give it …
The House Bunny movie
We were watching some of our movie channels last night and came across The House Bunny.
This is the second time I’ve watched this movie in about a year now and I have to say it is still a cute and clever concept.

11:14 movie
11:14 is a rather odd and unusual movie. It tells the story in reverse time. It’s not a flashback as we’re used to seeing it, but it literally shows the end result of the action first, then goes back to the next segment before, and then the …

The best CGI movie to-date. What else can be said? This film is a most see for both adults and children. A true family hit. You cannot go wrong renting or buyng it. The Incredibles will is the greatest true action movie to hit the screen. If you haven’t …
Green Mansions: A Film by Mel Ferrer (1959)
I don’t ever recall seeing an Audrey Hepburn movie in TCM —“ the channel for classic films. Since the movies shown in the channel are largely MGM titles, my theory tells me Audrey Hepburn had simply not played any motion picture produced by this grand movie empire. …
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York movie
The movie “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” was the sequel and successor to one of the biggest hit movies of the 20th century, “Home Alone”. Of course, like many other sequels with very successful prequels, this movie didn’t do well as the first. Nevertheless, it was still …
