Dude, Where’s My Car?
Remember when Dude, Where’s My Car? was first shown on the cinemas? I think there are just movies that truly “work” and some just don’t. And the actors play an active role as well. If you put non-funny actors in a funny comedy movie, it won’t work …
War of the Worlds 2 Movie
I knew exactly what I was getting into when I rented War of the Worlds 2, but I rented it anyway. The movie isn’t exactly a sequel to the Tom Cruise movie, but more a sequel to the book. They do try to replicate some of the alien creatures …

Wives and Daughters (1999)
This is a wonderful BBC miniseries, and I recommend it highly. It’s based on a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, a Victorian writer, contemporary with Charles Dickens.
The story centers on Molly Gibson, a young girl living in England in the 1830’s. Molly is the only child of a local …
The Lobster (2015 Film)
Never in my life had I felt very weird and astonished at the same time after watching a film. A lot of times I felt very weird and strange though, one after watching Paolo Sorrentino’s 2015 film Youth, however, not feeling astonished at the same but rather awkward and looking …
Point Break DVD - Pure Adrenaline Edition
Point Break was the movie Patrick Swayze did right after Ghost. He wanted something totally different from the leading man persona he’d been in that film, and boy did he get it. In Point Break, Swayze stars as Bodhi, a surfer guru, who comes in contact with …
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003 Drama Movie)
I heard of the movie Girl with a Pearl Earring long before I watched it, but I just figured that it would be one of those overblown movies that would only be popular because it had a Hollywood sex symbol playing one of the main roles. However, after forcing myself …
Sleepless in Seatle (movie)
One of my favorite movies starred Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle. My son owns a copy of this movie and every time that it comes on TV I find myself surfing channels and settling on this delightful movie.

Movie Firewall
Firewall with Harrison Ford and Virginia Madsen.
What a crappy movie this was. Harrison Ford looks 100 years old and tries to get by with his trademark angry face. Madsen is chunky and they try to hide her enormous rump. Aside from these main …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie
I ended up picking up the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs for my daughter. When I did, I figured I would have to suffer through the movie with her and then would put her to bed and find something better to watch later.
It turns out it was …
Happy Feet (2006)
Happy Feet is a 3D animation movie. I can say it’s a musical movie. Lots of songs in there. If you like musicals, watch it. If you don’t, you could try but I’m not sure if you’re gonna like it.
Happy Feet is about a penguin that can’t sing. He …
Miss Congeniality
The actress, Sandra Bullock is very much related to light hearted, feel good movies and “Miss Congeniality” is one of these movies. “Miss Congeniality” success is greatly based on Bullock’s acting abilities and a great script that includes action, adventure, humour and romance all mixed up together.
In this movie …
Alice In Wonderland (2010)
When I heard Tim Burton had done Alice in Wonderland with Disney and Johhny Depp was the Mad Hatter, I could hardly wait to get to the theater. This film have so many of my favorite stars and they all did their usual brilliant jobs. Depp, of course, was …

The God Who Wasn’t There documentary

Disney’s Prep & Landing
A couple days ago, I saw previews for a new animated Christmas special called Disney’s Prep & Landing. It looked kind of cute so I took the time to watch it with our daughter last night (she had a snow day today so I didn’t mind letting her stay …
Django Unchained (movie)
One of the most impressive movies that I’ve watched so far this year was “Django Unchained”, which I feel was surprising since when I watched the trailer, I never got the feeling that it might give The Hobbit a run for its money even though I knew it was …
A Kid in Aladdin’s Palace
Though I have not seen this movie in ages, it still remains one of my favourite children’s movies. It was released in the year nineteen ninety eight and I think that the first place where I watched it was on the Disney Channel one Thursday or Friday night when …
Rogue movie
I am a fan of monster stories that involve big fish or crocodiles. I was a teenager when Jaws first hit our movie screens and I still think that this kind of movie can be one of the scariest and dare I say it - entertaining of all the …
V for Vendetta: Movie
I feel that V for Vendetta is a very good film that is based on what I feel is an excellent topic.
The storyline of government rebellion is something that I’ve always been interested in, so a film like this was great for someone like me.
One of the things I …
Movie 1408 by John Cusack
1408 is a horror film by John Cusack and Samuel Jackson. Well most of the movie of course shows John Cusack as Mike Enslin’s struggle inside a hotel room, supposedly haunted the room 1408. Mike Enslin here is a paranormal “writer”, with his profession; he stays at …
Eight Below (movie)
A new movie was released on Monday called “Eight Below”. This is an awesome movie, especially for dog lovers.
The film stars Paul Walker and takes place mainly in Antarctica. When a major storm hits and there is not enough room in the plane to transport the scientists, guides and …
Bloodsport (movie )
While I like some action movies, I generally do not like those that include the actors Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Segal since I have noticed that while these movies are usually jam packed with action scenes, they also usually have the same cliché characters and these action movies …

In Judgement Day, …
Creature From the Black Lagoon
I remember seeing a photo of this creature in a monster magazine and remarking how scary it looked. Well it was not that scary in this classic film. I liked the opening scene in which it explained the Big Bang theory and leading up …
Employee of the Month, movie
Dane Cook’s first time out as a leading man left me laughing, but not so much at the movie, as at myself. I found this movie to hit all of the right marks for laughter but couldn’t being myself to admit that it was anything more than a poor …
Shutter Island movie
This movie totally lived up to all the hype I heard about it. I personally am not a big Leonardo Decaprio fan and it was almost the reason I didn’t watch this movie. However I heard so many good things about it that I just had to suck …

Man On Fire-Denzel Washington (2004)
Once again Denzel Washington has outdone himself. This compelling store left me in awe. He was definitely a man on a mission that took no prisoners. I had never imagined him in such a role as this before. I had always seen him in such light hearted roles. The …

Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married?”

In the movie, there were four couples and they were all friends. …
Film 1408
I had been looking forward to the big screen adaption of Stephen King’s excellent short story 1408 from his collection Everything’s Eventual. I’d heard quite a few positive reviews and heard that it didn’t do too bad at the box office either, which was unexpected and hopefully a good …
Hulk vs. Wolverine (2009)
This is a classic battle that has managed to cross over from the pages of the comic books and finally on to DVD. The battle between mighty powers created by Marvel and the universe that they have created. In this animated movie, you get to decide who will emerge …
From Beyond movie
Splatter movie from the same team who did Re-Animator for example. Just as with that film the story is very naive. A doctor and his friend goes mad and starts experimenting on themselves in hope of getting to a new dimension through the brain. This dimension is filled with …
National Lampoon’s European Vacation movie
I have seen all of the National Lampoon Vacation movies. Christmas vacation is easily the worst of the four but I think European Vacation is one of those movies that isn’t as good as the first “Family Vacation” or the last, “Vegas Vacation.”
That’s not to say it is a …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, both the movies and the books. I was disappointed when the film showing was moved to this year but was still excited for the 6th installment of the novel by JK Rowling.

Wrath of the Titans (2012 movie)
I just recently saw the movie Wrath of the Titans. It is the sequel to the previous Greek mythology-based movie about Perseus which was entitled Clash of the Titans. This movie still has the original cast, like Sam Worthington as Perseus, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, …
The Invasion (PG-13, 2007)
I was all prepared to really hate this movie, or at the very least, dislike it intensely. This is because most of the films of this genre - especially those that are remakes of old classics—tend to be very poorly made. I knew this movie had …
Rogue movie
Shoot me now for not having the heart to stand up and leave this movie when I had the chance. I kept saying I just needed to see the monster rogue before I gave up on it, but the director was smart enough to only show the entire thing …
Stardust DVD Movie
I love movies of any genre, and when I watched Stardust, I have the good impression of some fairytale like movie, and I feel like entering into the scene, and experience the magical characters.
