I have seen a lot of scary movies in my life but I have to say that 1408 was very possibly the scariest. There are few movies I can think of, certainly made recently, that have so effectively scared the willies out of me. I was actually …

As soon as I heard that this movie was going to be released in theatres, I tried my best to avoid it since I knew it would start the singer/wannabe actress Beyonce Knowles; as I really dislike her and think she ruins every movie she appears in. Nevertheless, some …

The other night I was watching the movie Hitch starring Will Smith and I thought I would give my take on this movie. Well I have been a fan of Smith since Fresh Prince and I enjoy many of his action movies. Hitch shows a date doctor whose job …

When I saw the title of this movie on the cable guide recently, I wasn’t sure what to expect from it, especially since the acronym just did not sound familiar to me. However, when I read the description, which indicated that it had to do with a part of …

What intrigued me the most about this flick was that the Americans/British spoke …

A comedian couple have their own show on television. Their humour is very sick in courting to some people and they also use magic. One day they challenge the people watching for murder on themselves.
A very weak comedy to be honest with only a few funny moments combined with …

I have always gotten a kick out of this comedy starring Cary Grant. It’s called Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House and uses Grant’s comedic skills wisely. As the affable Jim Blandings, Grant is the common, everyday man who agrees with his wife that they have the …

I had heard from a friend whose taste I respect that this was a remarkable movie, so I decided to check it out. Well, it’s different, I’ll say that.

The very first thing I became aware of when Romancing the Stone began was how difficult it was to focus on what was happening because during this first bit, the theme music to How the West was Won playing. Of course, it does match what is going on, …

This is a wonderful movie for the entire family. It’s based on the classic book “Treasure Island” except it stars the Muppets: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzy Bear and all the other characters you love. Tim Curry also does a superb performance as Long John Silver. In …

I actually didn’t know what to expect of the movie Slumdog Millionaire. I was worried that it would be a bollywood type production, which I was not really interested in seeing. I was also a bit skeptical on just how good a movie starring actors in their first large …

I didn’t quite know what to expect from Zombieland, but as it turns out I quite enjoyed it. I found it to be pretty entertaining and thought it was to be one of the better comedies to come out of the last few years.
I love end-of-the-world type cinema …

This movie had me gripped from the first episode, “Currahee”, where the introduction of the characters of Easy Company takes place, during their basic recruitment training. I enjoy watching war movies and have to say, Band of Brothers, was more than I expected. I was browsing for movies one …

The main actress of the movie “Australia”, Nicole Kidman described it as “the Australian version of Gone with the Wind”. I like to think that “Australia” is a cross version between two modern movies - “Titanic” and “Peal Harbour” - because the movie concept seems to thread on the …

What type of movie/documentary is this! It was more like watching a selfish rich man and his friends having fun playing around a classic old ship. I loved the Titanic and studied it from 5th grade on. For this film to come in and mock all the scientist like …

OK, when my wife insisted on renting the movie Daddy�s Little Girls, I did the same thing any good husband would do; rolled my eyes. In fact, I told her she was more than welcome to watch it while I was at work.

This year we have been blessed with unnecessary sequels, and if you think that the “expansion” of the magic-filled world of the first Now You See Me Film would offer something different, then you are very wrong.
