I am reviewing The Norwood Builder, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced by Granada television in 1983. This episode finds a young man in need of Holmes’ help, as he woke up the very morning to find himself …

I just took a few minutes to review the movie Scary Movie. Since I did that, I wanted to take another couple minutes to talk about the sequel, Scary Movie 2; which is one of the very few sequels that might actually be better than the original.
I like this …

I am reviewing the movie, Chalk. This is a mockumentary about teachers. This movie follows around a history teacher, a PE teacher, and a group of others. It focuses on the challenges of the classroom, dealing with disipline and kids. Issues about classroom behavior, ethics, testing, …

Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) was an invisible entity to the eyes of men. If a man was google earth, she would still remain as a fictional character burried under the rubble of anonimity. But, her world changed when she lied about a very personal thing: losing her virginity at highschool! …

I usually keep away from watching comedies from the nineteen seventies and early eighties since I’ve found out over the years that most of them tend to bore me. So when I first got access to cable television and would see this movie going on, I didn’t even pay …

The movie “Wedding Crashers” is the film that made the actors, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn very much famous. It is thanks to this extraordinary movie that both actors moved on in working on more demanding and challenging roles.
What I really liked about “Wedding Crashers” is the out of …

I have always loved watching indie films and Slumdog Millionaire has made it to my list of favorite movies. The story revolves around Jamal Malik, a waiter cum assistant in a call center in Mumbai, India who joins a localized version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”. Malik …

It’s a movie about a killer washing machine. Really, what more do you need to know?
It’s based on a short story by the master of horror himself, taken from a collection called “Night Shift”. Despite the goofy plot, the story actually works pretty well. Heck, as …

It’s been ages since I’ve sat down and watched a Charlie Chan movie, so going into this I was curious to see how I’d enjoy it again. This movie, Charlie Chan in Reno, was from 1939 and stars Sidney Toler in the role of the infamous detective.
The black …

Bear with me, because I have to type these 3 names because they are amazing. I watched Old School (starring Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell) the other day and it was super hilarious. There can never be a movie close to it, except for movies starring …

Come Back, Little Sheba is a classic black and white film made in 1952. When I first heard about this movie, I really thought Come Back, Little Sheba was about little more than a lost dog and his heartbroken owner. Come Back, Little Sheba is beautifully done, even though …

Though this movie can be considered a highly complicated film because of its astounding special effects and nerve-wracking code-breaking features, its groundwork is very simple: deception.
On the outset of the story, a monologue from the antagonist tackles how powerful media had been, how it has influenced people’s belief, and …

Oh yes…it is a Trilogy. Every body wants to make a trilogy. As if the first two weren’t enough, now we must sit through another long winded three and a half hour movie with the clueless saviour of all. Need I say anymore. Action, storyline, dialogue, monologue…the same as …

Midnight Express is one of the most dramatic movies I have seen. This is the true story of Billy Hayes who has been jailed for drug trafficking in Turkey. Within the walls of the prison, Billy Hayes (played by late Brad Davis) will live a lifetime nightmare. The films …

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.
This is a movie about a joke — a filthy joke, a single joke, and one told over and over in …

Shape of the Moon is a documentary released in 2004. It has no narration, but is basically a cameraman who follows around an Indonesian family. It received rave reviews from Roger Ebert and other critics. It is shot entirely in Indonesia, and the language is Indonesian with subtitles. Despite …

Rosemary’s Baby is a very good scary movie. It’s an older movie that was made in 1969 but it is still a very good movie. In fact I think it is a lot scarier than a lot of the newer movies out these days. I think that this film really …

This is actually a pretty old movie and the first movie that I had ever seen Channing Tatum in. Now, he is more popular than ever, but when this movie came out, I don’t think he was all that popular. Anyway, this is probably the movie that picked up …

Imagine what it would be like to wake up every day with your memory blank. You can’t remember what you did yesterday (or the day before, or the day before that). You can’t remember people you’ve met, either. Even your next door neighbors would have to introduce themselves to …

I really do not like love stories with horror or something but the movie Ghost pass my taste for movies.The movie was created year 1990 but i just got the chance to watched it this year when My brother in law watched it in You tube. I am so …

I loved the movie “Brokeback Mountain” as I paid attention to the fact that it was very subtle in giving the decade that each part was to be about. In the sixties, being gay was totally taboo. Men did marry, so as not to appear gay. If the men …

This is the first movie of the Harry Potter series and the best one according to me. In this movie all the characters have been introduced and the magical world makes it first appearance. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) makes his appearance as Harry Potter in this film. Harry Potter …

It seems whenever an idea for a movie has some success, there are a bunch of other movies ready to copy that success by keeping roughly the same plot, just a few minor changes.
Fool’s Gold is a good example of this. While not a terrible movie, the idea of …

A film by the uneven filmmaker Ridley Scott about the explorer Chrisopher Columbus who discovered America. In my own humble opinion an extremely boring film with no sense of cinema what so ever. Ridley Scott proved his talent several times in his early career with brilliant visual films like …

Jack Black is one of those actors who I can’t seem to not laugh at. He is just funny to me, his facial expressions, his voice changes, his general presence in films and responses to other elements and actors in films leaves me breathless with laughter. And while I …

Today (30/08/13) I had went to watch The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones with my best-friend at Hoyts Cinema, NZ. And boy was I glad I had paid $17 of my allowance to watch it! :D
The Movie in my opinion was a great watch. The characters they had to …

My wife and I watched a movie yesterday that we are both huge fans of “The Ghost and the Darkness.”
When this movie first came out, I didn’t even know what it was. I figured it was a movie about a ghost. When I watched it the first time, however, …

Disney’s Fantasia is one of the best animated films ever made. I remember watching this film as a kid and being amazing. I think everyone who is a Disney fan should have this film in their collection. From my personal view I can that this movie is well worth the …

I watched Spiderman a while back and loved it. Since then, I have also seen Spiderman 2 and 3. When I took out the old film to watch, I was a little surprised at how phony the graphics looked. I had thought that they were so realistic when I …

I watched State of Play that day with my friends and I was so hating it in the beginning. I wanted to watch some other show, but all of them insisted on this one. Starring Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck, this is one thriller of a movie that …

My husband and I decided to have movie night the other night. So we went to our local video rental to rent some movies. One of the movies we decided on was “Shinobi.” My husband loved the fight scenes in …

Star Wars in on the last movie the Revenge of the Sith. The movie tells the story of Anakin Skywalker as he becomes Darth Vader.The story also shows how Luke Skywalker and Princess Lila come to be. Have you evver wondered what happened to the mother? Revenge of the …

Usually, I like movies directed by Guy Ritchie, but Sherlock Holmes misses the mark. This movie fails to hold together any plot or any interest for the viewer. I think I know what they were trying to achieve, but it does not succeed. The dialog is trite and almost …

When I was still in my earlier years of high school, there were quite a number of teenage romance movies which were released in theatres. One of these movies was a movie called “She’s All That” which starred the actors Freddie Prince Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook. Unlike many …

Not the one to come out earlier this year, but the original 1950s movie with Vincent Price. I believe it was the first film shot in 3D tecnique, but of course that loses its effect if you don’t watch it with 3D-glasses at the theatre, which I didn’t do.
The …

I’m usually not a big fan of movies that play the whole 1984 card and focus on “Big Brother.” And, I’ll be the first to admit the idea of a computer independently controlling people’s lives is something out of the 80s (think the movie War Games)and still a bit …

The Boy is about a nanny, Greta, who is hired to take care of a boy while the elderly couple goes on a trip. Greta is played by Lauren Cohan, actress from The Walking Dead, so initially I was pretty excited to watch this movie. Unfortunately, It ended up being …

I watched this movie about an year ago and fall in love with it. It’s basically a story about two women, one Amanda (Cameron Diaz) a successful american and Iris( Kate Winslet) a british chick. Both have failed in finding the right men and accidently they meet and exchange …

I went to see “The Return” today and I can tell you this movie surprises me. When I first went into the movie theatre, I thought this movie was just another ghost movie. However, I went to watch it anyway because Sarah Michelle Gellar is on of my favorite …

At long last, an uncut, unedited version of 1954’s Godzilla, King of the Monsters has finally appeared on home video in an English subtitled version. When originally released, the film was hack edited and included the silly Rayond Burr footage in order to make the film more acceptable …

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 …

What I liked most about Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist is one of the scenes at the end. Barbara Barrie appears again as Joy’s mother. The two don’t get along very well, but yet at the end, they share a calm moment. The really good …

Ah the classic, “I love you, just not like that,” or “We’re just friends” lines. Who hasn’t said, or heard, one of those? We’ve all been the victims of unrequited love. This movie takes this natural occurance to a new and hilarious level.
Ryan Reynolds, as usual, plays an absolutely …
