The Expendables 2 movie
When going to watch the sequel to 2010’s action packed “The Expendables”, I was initially sceptical, based on the previous outing from Stallone and co. The original, while impressing with it’s juicy, gory action scenes, did little for me, with shaky stiff performances from Stallone and some of the …
Empire Theatre New Minas, NS
We are often at this theatre, as we try to go for a movie night out together once a week. It is a very nice theatre and the location is great, in the heart of New Minas, on the main road, close to shopping and restaurants, and a nice …

Cleaner, thriller film
Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, and Eva Mendes make up a stellar cast that didn’t make it too big in theaters. Cleaner feels a lot like an episode of CSI, a television show that has millions of viewers each and every week. With its CSI qualities there is more …
Movie Slumdog Millionare
Slumdog Millionaire is an award winning best picture movie and deserves every bit of it. The movie is compelling with many special effects.

Cocoon
I don’t know why I like this 1985 movie so much. I can still remember watching it for the first time when it had come out; it is a comedy that involves some aliens, and compared with today’s technology, I guess you might say it is nothing special. Most …
The Patriot Movie
The patriot is one of the best movies that I ever watch. This movie is based on the struggle of poor Americans against the mighty British Empire. The struggle was a success and hence it makes the movie a must see to learn the art of impeccable planning.
The first …
Parents movie
Parents is a very old scary movie. But by todays standards it’s looked upon as a comedy instead of a horror movie. It’s a very dark yet funny movie. I guess that is why it’s called a dark comedy. But when I watched this film as a kid, I thought …
Voyage of the Yes movie
Voyage of the Yes was something of a coming of age or discovering oneself type of movie. Airing on TV in 1973, the movie is about two young men who travel from California to Hawaii by sailboat.

Battle: Los Angeles (movie)
I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews about the movie “Battle: Los Angeles”. I’ve read bad ones, where people say it’s one of the worst movies they’ve seen, and that it’s a waste of time and money; and I’ve read good ones, where people say it’s one of …
Gone, Baby Gone (R, 2007) movie
Ben Affleck is certainly not one of my favorite actors. But he just might have me on being one of the better producer/ directors to get behind the camera. He cast his little brother Casey in this gritty role of a private detective who has been asked …
Caveman
When I was a really young kid, I was infatuated with dinosaurs. I guess every kid probably was. I lived right outside of D.C. so I had no problems with visiting the museum regularly. I remember some cartoons like the Flintstones which celebrated the union between man and reptillian …

American History X
This is a film that I would not have personally gone out to watch had it not been recommended for me. American History X is a film centred around the White power movement and the consequences of extremism.
The film’s main protagonist is the intelligent Derek Vinyard. Following the murder …
When in Rome movie
When in Rome disappoints big time and the story flow defies logic even if how liberal I try to think. The story is supposed to be a romantic comedy I guess. But at the end, I wonder to remember a single scene in the movie which made me laugh …
“She’s out of your league” Feature Film
I really enjoyed watching this film. It is the usual silly movie where a guy goes after a woman out of his league, there are many of them in hollywood at any time, but this one was a little different. For starters, the layers of humor that …
IMAX: Hubble 3D
Yesterday, my husband and I decided to see the movie IMAX: Hubble 3D and boy were we in for a treat. I am not a fan of spending 10$ per person at the movies but we had not seen an IMAX or 3D movie in awhile so it was …
AVP
Aliens vs. Predator is my personal favorite of the entire sga of both movies.
The story goes like this: a bunch of scientist discovered an ancient temple in the Pole, they also discovered that over night a giant tunnel leading down to it mistriously appeared. They have no idea of …

Forever at the top in the world of animation, Disney broke even more ground with this lushly animated and wonderfully told new version of the classic french fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. So wonderous was this instant classic, that it was the first ever animated film to ever …
A Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Movie 2010)
Ever remembered staring at your crush in school and not being able to tell him how you feel? Do you remember those days when you would call his phone just to hear his voice and hung up a minute later without even saying a word? Ever remember those crazy …
A View to a Kill movie
In what would be Roger Moore’s last appearance as agent 007 James Bond (he was MORE than 50 years old here by the way) he’s confronted with perhaps the most colorful villain ever. He’s played by the excellent actor Christopher Walken and, obviously, is threatening to take over the …

Why are computer hackers so powerful and feared? Well this movie answers this question in an action packed and well written story. The all star cast does an excellent job at turning a …
Movie The Weatherman
We watched a movie the other night with Nicholas Gage in it. Although I like Nicholas Cage as an actor this was not one of his better movies.
I did not like the defeative attitude of the chaacchter that he played. He was a weatherman who …
Madhouse
Starring: Joshua Leonard (Clark Stevens), Jordan Ladd (Sara), Lance Henriksen (Dr Franks), Dendrie Taylor (Nurse Hendricks)
It is rather scary when you think that the shadows you see from the corner of your eyes are not real, but a figment of your imagination. Ben London (one of the …
Sabrina
Harrison Ford is mostly known for his involvement in bringing to the big screen the “Indiana Jones” block busters; however I much prefer him in the movie “Sabrina” where Ford shows of his unique charm rather than his Indiana Jones skills. It comes to no surprise that this movie …

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind film
How the story unfolded was quite interesting. It’s a beautifully woven tale of two souls who, after having been separated by science, still manage to find each other again, because of a force far greater than any form of futuristic technology — love.
I enjoyed the cast of characters of …
500 Days of Summer: Movie
500 Days of Summer is quite an interesting, and unique film. I decided to watch it after hearing of comparisons with Garden State, which I loved.
The boy likes girl storyline has perhaps been overused a lot throughout the history of cinema, but this is written and directed in a …
How To Train Your Dragon Movie (2010) Animated
I have always loved animated movies. I have heard of this movie How to Train Your Dragon and it actually was on IMAX theatres because it was 3D. I did not see it in 3D but it is alright because I am not really keen on watching it like …
Two Came Back (1997 Film)
The 1997 Lifetime TV Movie, “Two Came Back” was a large disappointment. Starring a young Melissa Joan Hart and Jonathan Brandis, this film was a serious flop and didn’t do much to capture the audience’s attention at all. While Melissa Joan Hart has been a actress that I have …
Dragon Wars DVD
Dragon Wars is a movie that will be a hit with the pre teen, teen set and the parents who still love fantasy. It is rated PG 13 and definitely not for the younger viewers. The dragons get very nasty, as dragons will. It will be released …
Edward ScissorHands
Edward ScissorHands is one of my all time favorite movies. The music and scenery is must majestic. I think this is one of Johnny Depp’s best roles. He plays the part of Edward. Edward was created by his father who was an old inventor. But he never got to …

It had been a while since I saw the movie so it was almost as though I was seeing it for the first time. And, after seeing it, I …
Anime: Elfen Lied
If the audience does not mind gorey/violent scenes, then this anime is actually quite enjoyable. This anime features diclonius, a type of mutant human with two horns, living amongst human beings. They are constantly shunned because of the unusual appearance and abilities. They have invisible arms called ‘vectors’ that …

Peeping Tom is perhaps one of most influential films ever, but once you know the story behind the film it gets even more powerful. The director Michael Powell had charmed the world of cinema for decades with his visually groundbreaking epic films like A matter of life and death, …
