I must say that I did not completely look forward to the film The Incredible hulk. This is because the first film in the series was pretty awful. There are a lot of things the Hulk can be, but boring is definitely not one of them. So, when …

Babel - Movie
I went to see Babel not knowing anything about it more than it took place in Morocco and it was “kind of like the movie Crash”. Pretty quickly you can see how the movie is like “Crash” in that there are 4 storylines, seemingly unrelated, that you know somehow …
The Babadook Movie
I’m always up for a good, creepy movie and I had heard good things about ‘The Babadook’. There were some detractors, but honestly, that almost made me more curious to check the movie out.

From 2004, Nothing is about two guys who think the world away to near nothingness. I will say off the top that the opening writing material that is on the screen brings on early chuckles. The writing proclaims that the movie is absolutely true. It’s an …
Movie Becoming Jane
Again, someone got me to watch this period film about Jane Austen. The movie stars one of my favorite actors, James McAvoy - whom I think is quite yummy. The movie also features Anne Hathway as Jane Austen. The film follows her life as a …
“Inception” (2010 Film)
The 2010 film staring Leonardo DiCaprio called “Inception” was something that looked as though it would confuse me and leave me angry at the ending. However, after watching the film just once, I find myself hooked on to the main character of Cobb’s (DiCaprio) life as well as feel …
A Monster Calls (2016 Fantasy Drama Film)
Some films are mistakenly advertised as fantasy movies - and you expect to watch these movies with that fairytale-ish ending you thought you deserved but instead you end up crying your heart out because of just how sad they are. I remember watching a 2007 film called Bridge to Terabithia …

Last of the Pony Riders (1953 Movie)
B-westerns may not be everyone’s cup of tea, to some they may seem a bit hokey, and when the film in question is not only a b-western, but a singing cowboy adventure as well, then the audience narrows even further. All of that taken into consideration, Last of the …
The Other Woman (movie)
I’m generally not a fan of what most people describe as “chick flicks”, but once in a very long while a movie might come along that I think I might enjoy. When I first saw the trailer for it some months ago, The Other Woman ended up being one …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest

The Crow movie
The Dark Gothic film that claimed the life of Brandon Lee. One of my favorite movies of all time, as not everyday you see a corpse rising from the grave to right to wrongs done to him. Not a zombie type role either…but undead and kicking butt from corner …
Perfect Stranger
I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by the newly released film “Perfect Stranger” starring Halle Berry and Bruce Willis.

Murder on the Orient Express movie
I’ve never seen Murder on the Orient Express before, though I’ve often heard about it and have seen many commercials promoting various incarnations of it over the years. I’ve been curious about the Agatha Christie story for a long time, but for whatever reason never actually sat down …

Breathless: A Film by Jean Luc Godard (1960)
I first had a snippet view of Breathless when it was aired in TV monde. I was rather clueless of what the film was about but admittedly I was drawn to the whimsical quality of the video. Even in stark black and white, Jean Seberg was a …

The Wedding Planner
In the DVD movie I’ve watched, The Wedding Planner, it starred the unlikely duo; Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey.
Jennifer’s character plays a pretty successful wedding planner and I really like her witty dialogs. Though you might be wondering that perhaps Jennifer and Matthew’s characters wouldn’t fit together …
“Full Metal Jacket” (1987 film)
Obviously, a review of ANY Stanley Kubrick movie is going to have the usual raves (visually stunning, technically masterful!) and the usual criticisms (the acting can feel a little…robotic at times, and there’s generally a certain bleak, emotionally distant view of the human condition). Those definitely apply to Kubrick’s …
