In Time Movie (2011)
If only there was enough time- time to work on the concept of the movie that is! While In Time is not built on an original concept, there were still enough interesting ideas that could have made it at least a good sci-fi movie. However, the lack of planning …
The New Daughter movie
I saw this movie starring Kevin Costner. Based on IMDB, the movie is a thriller, with 5.4 rating. So I decided to see it, probably give it a chance, since I have great respect for the actor who stars in it.
Okay so this was the typical I-got-divorced-and-now-I-moving-to-another-house story. Kevin …
In the Time of the Butterflies
In the Time of the Butterflies with Salma Hayek and Edward James Olmos.
The title offered me no clue as to the theme of the movie and in fact it seemed like a sensitive touchy feely movie. Since I try to stay away from these movies, …

Amazon Unbox is the top choice for watching movies online. THere is special software to download to watch films, but that doesn’t take very long and it does perform as a special folder for the movies and TV shows you have purchased or rented. If you buy a show …
The Baader-Meinhof Complex movie
I suppose watching The Baader-Meinhof Complex has totally alerted me to appreciate movie making of this genre very much. This is quite a deep movie and I have a certain analysis after watching it. In a world now where there are issues of terrorism and many more, watching …
Spectre (2015 James Bond Film)
A lot of people I knew were very excited to see the movie Spectre as soon as it was released. While my excitement didn’t necessarily reach their level, I was certainly curious to see what it would be about since my interest in James Bond movies had been rekindled over …
Baby Einstein DVD’s

Ehit is a online site that allows you to rent movies through the mail just like netflix and blockbuster does. They have a free trial that you can try out the service. They send you two movies in one envelope. I think the cheapest price that they offer is …
The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring
The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring is one of the best movies I have ever seen. This movie was just amazing. Because of the long name I will refer to it as Fellowship of the Ring in this review. First off I must say the intro …
Shutter Island movie
This latest Martin Scorsese movie is definitely not his greatest creation but is a compelling watch for its grabbing suspense and magnificent plot. Shutter Island is a movie that has many wonderful performances and excellent direction. The setting of the island in midst of the ocean and intriguing ambience …
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
What you need to do while watching this movie is thank you lucky stars that you don’t know anyone like these people for if you do, you would be just as messed up in the head as they are. Then again, if you are just like these people in …
Vantage Point
Vantage Point is a movie that I had watched a few weeks back which I think had no plot whatsoever. Indeed if you see the title, it is sort of misleading and you would think that it is a boring movie. But it turned out to be a …

The Great St Trinians Train Robbery - Film 1966
We are not talking your recent remake here - we are talking vintage St Trinians and the Great St Trinians Train Robbery was the only one of the original four to be made in colour. In the 1960’s this was something quite new and it has been said by …
Disney’s Pinocchio
Disney’s Pinocchio is an animation master piece. Now a lot of people like this new Pixar stuff like Finding Nemo. And they seem to like it because it’s 3D and high tech. But before when animation was done the old fashioned way I thought movies were much better. I really …
Exit Wounds (2001)
This movie is the typical case of good cop, bad cop or in Seagal’s case, bad cop, worse cop. His reckless abandon for the way he apprehends the bad guys is surpass able only by the way he kills the,, he is a violent man and a terror on …
Gangster Squad (movie)
One of the last movies that I went to watch in the theatres was “Gangster Squad”. Ever since I first saw the trailer last year, it looked so promising that I made up my mind that I was not going to miss it. The movie didn’t disappoint at all …

Moon Child movie
Any devotee of the world of JRock and JPop (Japanese Rock and Pop, respectively) will recognize the names of Gackt and Hyde. These two beautiful men (beautiful is the best description available) join forces in the film Moon Child to deliver a surprisingly good performance. The film, …
The Bank Job (Movie)
This is a story based from the infamous 1971 London robbery. I love stories like these, not that I’m inspired to be a bank robber but more likely I love to find out the minds of these robbers like what they are thinking and how they go about plotting …

Who Will Love My Children? movie

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
“Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” 1975, is one ridiculous movie, a treat for a lover of absurdities and slapstick humor. King Arthur and some of his knights are searching for the holy grail. For some reason they ride imaginary horses - yes, that’s right: throughout the movie …
Springtime in the Rockies movie
Springtime in the Rockies from 1937 is a movie I have heard about for a very long time, but believe it or not, even with its marvelous song, I have never seen it, until now.
The song that is sung at the beginning is awesome. I love the harmony …

Larry the Cable Guy: Witless Protection
I’m a huge Larry the Cable Guy fan; both his stand up comedy and the several movies he’s starred in recently. So, I couldn’t wait to see his newest film, Witless Protection.
While a funny movie, I have to say it really didn’t live up to the standards set by …

Sleepwalkers movie
This movie was apparently based on a novel that Stephen King wrote but never got published. Seeing this movie, I can see why King decided not to publish the book because this movie is bad, very bad.
The “sleepwalkers” are cat-like vampire creatures that suck the life force out …
Eat Pray Love movie
My husband would call this a definite “Chick” flick. No action, no thrills, just relationships and love. My feminist “hackles” go up when he says that and I feel slightly guilty to admit that I “kinda” liked this movie.
It’s not a new story …
He’s Just not that into you movie
I rented the movie “He’s just not that into you” from blockbuster about a week ago. I watched it as soon as I received it in the mailbox. Overall I enjoyed the movie because it was different than other chick flicks. I must admit that the movie got a …
Man Without a Face

Notting Hill movie
“Notting Hill” is one of my favourite all time romantic comedies. I think I like it so much because it presents a very straight forward story with a nice comic touch in it. Even though this movie is all about Julia Roberts and Hugh Grants acting abilities, it also …
The Wedding Crashers movie
I must have been the only person on the planet who had not yet seen The Wedding Crashers until last week. I just didn’t think that I would enjoy what I perceived to be, from the trailers and from what people told me, a silly, guy romp movie where …
Revolutionary Road movie
This movie was utterly depressing. I think many couples would be quite stricken after watching this. It may be focused on married couples, but I think that the theme encompasses all relationships anywhere in the world because it tackles a very important yet often overlooked issue: communication.
The Wheelers …

Dark City, movie (1998)

The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Identity is one of the best action movies around. I also believe that this movie resurrected Matt Damon’s career. He hadn’t done a good movie in a very long time (Good Will Hunting) and he is absolutely fantastic in this thriller. It differs from …
Black Butler: Season One, Anime
Okay, so I just finished season one of Black Butler and I am having such an emotional turmoil. I have developed such a strong emotional attachment to the characters because of their distinct personalities, mainly Ciel and Sebastian (the master and the butler, respectively).
