Stranded (2001) Movie
This is a science fiction film about the first manned trip to Mars. Instead of being action as most science fiction movies are, this is a drama. It’s also a survival story, one that’s filmed pretty decently on a low budget. It’s the story of five people stuck on …
Take the Lead movie
I didn’t know that Antonio Banderas can dance and ballroom dancing for that matter. When I saw his movie, Take the Lead, I was pretty impressed with the talent he has showed off in the movie. He has a great body and it looks so right with those sexy …
Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West
PBS has some of the most interesting shows on TV in our area. One of my favorite ones, they aired in 2002 was “Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West”. It was a Canadian version of Frontier House. My husband says I\’m obsessed with shows of this type …
What a Way to Go!
This comedy is a real hoot! The cast of What a Way to Go! is first rate, a truly phenomenal group of actors who all surround the female star, Shirley MacLaine. Shirley plays Louisa May Foster, a girl from a humble family who really only wants to …
Hot Tub Time Machine
When I saw the movie “Hot Tub Time Machine” advertising I ignored it, simply because I thought that it was going to be one of those college humour shows that is full of lots of sex and sex jokes that I would generally not be interested in. However, …
Broken Arrow : The fight for Nukes
I am a huge fan of John Travolta and Broken Arrow provided me the best of him and so the movie counts as one of my favourite movies. The movie is based on stolen Nuclear Bombs that are at a huge risk getting activated and hence blowing up a …
Total Recall 2070
I have watched most of the movies listed under Science fiction on Netflix, but had never seen Total Recall 2070, mostly because it was hard to imagine a sequel to a marginally above average movie without any of the cast returning, and made for television could be any good.
I …
Jeepers Creepers
I think Jeepers Creepers sucked. This movie was so cheesy and horrible. I mean I was laughing the whole time. The whole concept of the story was not even scary. I mean the idea for the monster comes from an old song. The song goes “jeeepers creepers where’d you get …
He’s Just Not That Into You
My husband and I saw this movie last weekend. We went to a Sunday matinee and the theatre was PACKED! The theatre was full of mostly girls, but my husband didn’t mind too much. This is definitely a chick flick.
The cast was great. I especially loved Ginnifer Goodwin and …

Highlander
I actually saw the movie Highlander after watching the television series first. And, I’ll admit, it ended up being a bit confusing the first time around. But, after watching it a second and third time, it turned out to be a halfway decent movie.
The film, of course, is what …

Predator 2
It’s rare that I enjoy a sequel more than I enjoy the original and it is even less common when the original is good, but this is an exception. Predator is a movie all about action. There are some smart points and probably some social commentary though I didn’t …
The Possession (horror movie)
I love supernatural horror movies, but for some reason I can’t seem to get enough of them. The slasher movies and those horror movies that have a lot more gore in them seem to be what’s popular now. Those few with a religious or supernatural theme that I love so …
30 Days of Night. A Movie
To be fully honest I cannot stand scary movies, I am a much bigger fan of romantic comedies. However while I maybe a romantic comedy person, my husband is not. He loves scary movie and feels that romantic comedies are really boring. That being said every once in …
The Langoliers
Adapted from a short story by Stephen King, The Langoliers is yet another entry into the hit and miss catalogue of mini-series and movies based upon his works.

Good Against Evil movie
Good Against Evil, a 1977 movie, was apparently a pilot for a TV series which didn’t sell. I’m not surprised, to be honest. Unfortunately, this also means that there is no ending really to the picture. That’s because the catalyst for the action had to be …

This is one of the best suspense and thriller movies I have ever watched, this movie is all about Teddy (Leonardo Di Caprio) investigating a murder/lost disappearance case within the isolated and remote Shutter Island, which is an asylum for the mentally insane. Teddy goes with his partner Chuck …
Duplex, movie
Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore do a wonderful job in pulling off this bright comedy about a couple trying to survive their first home owner’s experience. I thought this film was playful, funny and even a bit telling in how we all sometimes fall for things that are too good …

Pretty Woman is one of the first romantic movies I have seen and I liked it very much. I still love that movie after watching over hundred times in all these years. This Julia Roberts and Richard Gere starred movie is one of the greatest romantic movies of Hollywood …

Erin Brockovich
Ok, I never would have thought that a movie about a slutty, foul mouthed unattractive mother of a litter of kids would have won an Oscar for anyone. Thank you academy for proving me wrong.
Erin Brockovich is down as my all time worst movie. If this woman …
The Lion King
One of my favorite animated Disney movies is The Lion King. It is about all the animals in Africa, concentrating on the lion cub, Simba, who grows into a full-grown lion during the movie. The story is very cute and touching. Beware though; you may need …

Unthinkable (movie)
Recently I watched a suspense movie named “Unthinkable”. One of the main reasons why it stood out was because it was more of a psychological thriller. I thought that this was unique since basic plots like these which have terrorist and the United States military tend to have a …

Enemy (psychological thriller movie)
I remember wanting to see the movie “Enemy” after I had seen the trailer some time ago. It gave me the impression that it could be one of those thrillers that would keep me in suspense all the way through till it ended. However, after I got to watch the …
Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs
Valerie on the Stairs isn’t a very good movie on its own, and when you compare it to the other films in the Masters of Horror series, it looks even worse. That’s fairly sad considering the amount of talent in the movie. The movie centers on a main character …
Kungfu Panda
This is a terrible movie; I can’t stop laughing myself no matter how much I’ve watched this movie. The animation was too smooth and perfect that it’s really well-detailed for both the fun and the story plot. The sequences were flowing just right that I really like every motion. …
Tom and Jerry
Tom and Jerry is one of the most popular cartoons made by Warner Brothers. I doubt if anyone has not heard or never even watched this series. This is a total fun ride for half an hour. IT has some small 5-10 minutes fast paced cartoon stories, that are …
Columbo: A Bird in the Hand… movie
The story is average, a tale of a wealthy family with a black sheep who gets into gambling over his head. Then to get access to money to save his neck, the black sheep chops off the head of the family patriarch. This brings out Lieutenant Columbo …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Lightening Thief movie 2009
I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …

Cursed (Theatrical Version)
CURSED (Theatrical version)
This cinematic hairball was released in two versions on DVD: R-Rated and unrated.
I’m not sure what the difference is between the two because I saw this mess in theaters and have absolutely no desire to muddle through it again, in any version.
Wes Craven’s first werewolf film is …
