Human Remains
Before Merchant and Gervais brought the mockumentary back to our screens with The Office, there was Human Remains. Although its legacy remains in the minds of those who fell in love with back in 2000, it certainly hasn’t earned the success it deserves. The show follows a simple premise: …
The Princess Diaries
I didn’t expect this movie to be any good, but I admit I was wrong. Even though the story follows a very familiar template - a plain unpopular girl gets transformed into a gorgeous celebrity - the movie has a lot more than that. Mia, the unpopular teenage girl, …
Wrong Turn
Last night wasn’t the first time I’ve watched the movie Wrong Turn. In fact, I can’t remember for sure, but I might even have written a review about it. But, I just have to say, every time I watch that film, I can�t get over how stupid it is.
Here …
School for Scoundrels
Before watching SFS, I was absolutely thrilled that my two favorite actors, John Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) and Billy Bob Thorton (Bad Santa), had finally come together to make a movie that was sure to be hilarious. And that’s just what it was. I was on the floor laughing after …
Movie : The Fair Haired Child
The Fair Haired Child, directed by William Malone, is an entertaining entry into the Masters of Horror series. I love this series of hour long films from Showtime and wish it hadn’t gone off the air. I love how it took the spirit of old eighties shows …
Stick It the Movie
I recently had the chance to watch the movie, Stick It. I really was not expecting it to be good at all, my little sisters are the ones that wanted to watch it being fans of the sport of gymnastics.
At first I thought the movie started out …
Iron Man
Today I went to see Iron Man. What an excellent film.
This is the first of all the Marvel films that I feel like really had it all. A good plot, story line, special effects, cast of characters and really solid acting.
It’s rare to find this combination in a film …
Arrow - TV Show
Arrow is an extremely popular TV Show. It’s well into its 3rd season and it’s as amazing as it was when it first started in October of 2012. The series has become such a favourite with people that a spin-off TV show, The Flash, debuted this past October. Both shows …
Blood Diamond movie
You know, even though I take an interest in world politics, I have found I’m not a huge fan of movies about obscure problems in other countries.
That’s probably why, even though I tried to enjoy the film Blood Diamond, I found myself actually getting bored by it.
The plot wasn’t …
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Movie
After the success of Transformers in 2007, I couldn’t wait to see what they would do with the Transformers next. To be honest, I loved and hated Transfromers Revenge of the Fallen. For many different reasons. I did not think that Revenge of the Fallen was as good or …
Ganheddo movie
A sort of b-production science fiction from the late 1980s about a war between humans and machines. The year is 2038 and Ganheddo is a place where all surviving humans have gathered to figure out a way of destroying the evil machines. A theme seen many times through the …

When the movie Spice World came out in theatres it was all the rage amongst young girls. I never got to see it in theatres myself, but I can remember my friends constantly talking about it and me feeling left out. On the other hand, there were the …
The ring two (movie)
As far as I remember I really enjoyed watching the first ring. It was freaky, a lot of people said that it was scary but I thought it was more freaky than anything. I watched this movie when it came out in the theaters with my cousin. We both …

Eastern Promises
Eastern Promises is easily one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is about a Russian gang in London and how the Russian mafia deals with things. It has wonderful cinematography, that is the way the movie is filmed is fantastic. It is sickeningly violent at times, …
Garfield: Tale of Two Kitties
We got Garfield, Tale of Two Kitties last week and were very impressed. It was a great family movie that had a great mix of action and comedy. I only wish I could have gotten my energetic 2-year-old to watch more of it.
I found myself laughing every few seconds …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Movie
I always thought that movies based on books are rarely better than the book itself. It is indeed difficult to put in live screen what words have described. For me, the best books that could be made into a movie are the fantasy movies because the imagination is always …
Main Meri Patni Aur Woh (movie)
I watched the film Main Meri Patni Aur Woh on television. It is a very funny film. I loved it. The film has been directed by Chandan Arora. He did a great job. The film is about a common looking short heightened man named, Mithilesh and his tall and …

Movie Street kings
This was an excellent movie and I would recommend it to anyone. It has keanuu reeves and some other good actors in it. They are all LAPD, or cops in the movie. It’s hard to explain what the movie is about but I really liked it and so did …

Why Did I Get Married? (PG-13, 2007)

I’m Reed Fish (2006)
To be honest, I was attracted to this movie because of seeing Alexis Bledel as one of the casts so, it is not a surprise when I have to be disappointed to see that Alexis does not have enough space in this movie.
This movie is about a broadcaster named …
Cabin Fever movie
36 years ago a wacky cult movie called I Drink Your Blood, about hippies in an isolated area infected with rabies going on a rampage, delighted audiences with its audacious and over the top wackiness.
Here, we have a film of a similar theme, but it isn’t a delight. It’s …
Babel (Film)
Trust me if I say this: I have never seen a film with intertwining characters as honest and coincidental as this. All because of Alejandro Gonzales Inaritu’s compelling writing and masterful directing that we were able to see four stories, in three countries interweave each other in the most …

Last Holiday 2006 movie
I’ve seen this movie a couple of times now; it’s decent. I don’t think it’s one of those movies that you think of and then you HAVE to see it, but it’s a pleasant movie to watch if it happens to be on.
Some of the acting is pretty good, …
Ocean’s 13
I’m not going to lie. I thought Ocean’s 12 was absolutely terrible! Ocean’s 11 was, in my opinion, a very solid movie, that I thoroughly enjoyed. So when the third in line of the sequel was announced, I was a bit skeptical. But, nonetheless, I …
Eurotrip
OK, I know I’ve seen the movie Eurotrip before and I’m sure I have probably reviewed it before too.
But, after watching it for probably the 12th time last night, I still can’t get over how good this movie is.
Basically, for those of you who haven’t seen it, the movie …
“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader” film
I am a huge “The Chronicles of Narnia” fan. I remember it as being the first book series I ever read.

The Runner
The Runner with Ron Eldard, Courtney Cox, John Goodman, and Joe Mantegna.
What a sad movie! Why do movies that take place in Las Vegas usually bring me down? I always say that a movie should not be depressing and this movie was so ugly …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I usually like a movie I could somehow relate into. However, “Confessions of a Shopaholic” is one of those movies that I liked but could not really much relate to myself. It is about a woman who has a passion for shopping, which I don’t.
Being into shopping entails …
Odd Couple 2 movie

Hoodwinked movie
When I first saw the previews for Hoodwinked on television I thought it would be a lousy film. But, after giving it a try, I now feel it is a movie I would be glad to add to my collection.
