The Secret of the Grain Movie
It’s the French Film fest in Manila and entrance to all the French movies are free! Who wouldn’t take advantage of that?! I know I would and am planning to do so until the festival moves on to Cebu.
The first movie I watched was entitled The Secret of the …
Lost in Translation film
“Lost in Translation” is an amazing film by director-writer Sofia Coppola starring Bill Murray, Scarlett Johanson, Giovanni Ribisi, and Anna Farris. The film takes place over the course of one week and is set in Japan.
In this flick, Johanson stars as Charlotte, a soul searching philosophy major …
Kung Fu Panda 2
When Kung Fu Panda first came out a few years ago, I was surprised at how funny it actually was. I would compare the first movie to the Nickelodeon series SpongeBob Squarepants. This is because in both Kung Fu Panda and SpongeBob, there are jokes intended for adults, where …
The Fighter: Movie
Another nomination for this year’s Best Film at the Oscars has hit the DVD shelves, with The Fighter making its home viewing debut.
Although losing out on the most prestigious award at the annual ceremony, two of the films cast walked away with Oscars of their own for their fantastic …
Hatchet
Hatchet is a horror movie about a group of people on a tour boat who become stranded in the middle of a swamp and run into a deformed murderer. The plot is pretty straightforward. It is typical horror movie fare. I think that anyone, when renting a movie …
The Marsh movie
I always get a bit nervous when I rent a movie I have never heard about before; especially one that advertises itself as a thriller. After all, you never know what you’re going to get and it’s even harder to guess if you don’t have any previews to work …
Bottoms Up
I came across the movie Bottoms Up on one of my movie channels last night and didn’t know what to think of it. I did discover the film was better than I thought it would be but still wasn’t the greatest comedy ever either.
The movie, which stars Paris Hilton …
Inherit the Wind
At the heart of this film is a powerful controversy, one that still inspires heated debates today. On trial in this movie is not just a teacher’s right to teach certain subjects, but our right as American citizens to freedom of speech and freedom of choice.
Certain characters, mainly townsfolk, …
Titanic movie
What can I say about the second highest grossing movie in the world? A lot, I guess. First, I have seen it at least twenty different times, ten of which was from the big screen. I guess I was one of those moviegoers who contributed to …
The Break-Up
The Break-Up is a laugh all ’round romantic comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston.
Vaughn and Aniston play Gary and Brooke who after dating for a while decide to buy a condo together in Chicago. After living together for a considerable time Brooke feels that Gary has become lazy …
Vantage Point
With all due respect to my fellow reviewers on this site, I thought this movie was pitiful. I recently saw the movie when my father came to town begging to catch this new thriller. What ensued was a couple hours of just absolute silliness. The movie …
Just Like Heaven movie
I’m not a teeny pinky type of person who likes “pop culture”. But, I must say, though the movie “Just Like Heaven” considered as a romatic-comedy that is the target crowd was kind of teens turns out nicely nice.
It is indeed a light kind of movie with a justified …
Children of Dune movie
Children of Dune was a 2003 SyFy channel made-for-tv release based on the books by Frank Herbert. Now I typically shy away from movies based on books and, more specifically, movies that are practically remakes from 1980’s classics, such as the original Dune, but I was shocked by the …
Rambo
Sylvester Stallone is back as John Rambo in the fourth installment of the Rambo series. This time around Rambo is taking care of business in the Burmese jungles. Some missionaries visit Rambo, who lives in Thailand, and hire him for transportation to Burma to deliver medical supplies …
The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, vigilante film
Everything about this movie makes no sense. You have a bunch of Italian mobsters who act like flaming retards. The second hand of the mob looks like an idiot with his puffy hair and he talks sort of like an actor who is trying to talk like an Italian. …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, directed by Chris Columbus is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for scary moments, some creature violence and mild language. The original release date was November 15, 2002 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of …
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 …
The Green Mile
I have heard of the movie The Green Mile before. But, I have never taken the time to watch it because I figured it would be like another Stephen King movie/book; The Shawshank Redemption.
My wife decided to watch it again on Saturday though so I had a chance to …
Sweet Revenge, 1998 movie
It does not happen very often that I cannot sit through a movie; however, that was the case with Sweet Revenge, 1998, also known as The Revengers’ Comedies, starring Sam Neill and Helena Bonham Carter. I couldn’t finish watching it. The plot summary provided on the back of the …
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
While I thought the first Cheaper by the Dozen movie was lame, I did not think that a sequel to it could possibly be just plain silly and a waste of money that could have been put to proper use elsewhere. This time the movie was not just lame, …
Happy Feet
When this came out into cinemas, my family and I were on vacation so we weren’t able to watch it on the big screen. I’ve been hearing a lot of wonderful feedback from other moms about this movie and how their children loved it. I felt sorry for my …
Network movie
What a deeply prophetic and darkly funny film this is. The performances from Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway and William Holden are absolute perfection, and Sidney Lumet’s directing is brilliant as well, but the screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky is the true diamond of this movie. It is shockingly …
Blue Jasmine: A Movie
A few nights ago, my husband and I were watching television when he stumbled across Blue Jasmine on HBO. I had never seen it before, but he had seen it and thought that I would like it. I can’t claim to be a huge Cate Blanchet fan, but I …
Three men and a baby
Three men and a baby is a very touching movie and it is very heart warming experience that one feels while watching the movie. The movie starts off like a guy movie with three guys and their stints and efforts. These three guys are bachelors and the journey starts …
3 Ninja at High Noon Mountain Movie
I used to be a great lover of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, as a child, so it wasn’t so much of a stretch for me to think that I might also have enjoyed this film. The whole idea behind the film is that three boys, who are brothers, …

Pigs vs Freaks movie
In 1984, the movie Pigs vs Freaks was aired. Oddly, it had been filmed in 1980, and in truth, it was loosely based on a game that had been written up in Time Magazine in 1970. In other words, this movie was a long time coming. …
The Departed movie
“The Departed” is a Martin Scorsese movie and it confirms that the more time passes by, the more Scorsese gives us great movies. “The Departed” alone won 4 Oscars and also won another 47 awards.
This crime movie narrates the story of two police officials who choose to move along …

Wild Hogs (Movie)
I had expected a lot from this movie since it featured my list of favorite actors like John Travolta and Martin Lawrence, as well as Tim Allen and William Macy as the four main cast in the movie. Marisa Tomei and Ray Liotta are also in the movie and …

HEY BABBY..This is the directorial debut of Sajid Khan who has been on the Indian movie and Tv scene for so many years now.Well,the movie definitely screams Sajid Khan from beginning to end…be it his good pal SRK’s appearance in the song Mast Kalandar,the ten or so skimpily clad …

Lets Be Cops (movie)
I’m one of those people who strongly believe that it is possible to tell when a movie is not going to be very good. Therefore, when I saw the trailer for the movie “Lets Be Cops” for the first time, I knew it was going to be one of …
Our Miss Brooks movie
From 1956, Eve Arden takes the part that she played successfully for four years on television, high school English teacher Constance ‘Connie’ Brooks, and puts her on the big screen. What is confusing to some, though, is that instead of moving forward with the story, this movie actually …
All This And Heaven Too
All This And Heaven Too features one of my favorite actresses, Bette Davis. The movie was made in 1940 when Bette was young and still very beautiful. The story involves Bette portraying a governess, Henriette, hired to care for the children of a French Duke and Duchess. The …
I’m Gonna Git You Sucka (1988)
Coincidentally, after the dead of his brother, Junebug, Jack Spade returns from the Army, he follows up the death with the local police who inform jack that his brother died of Gold Overdose. LOL! This leads Jack to go out and seek revenge for his brother’s death, he goes …
Movie The love guru
This was an overall alright movie I thought. I just didn’t care for it all that much. I think it was the type of movie it was. I think it could have been a lot of better especially with the actors that were in it. Jessica Alba, Mike Myers …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is probably one of the most promoted movies of 2008 and this was supposed to be very funny and so I thought I would see the movie. This movie is made from the same people that made Knocked Up and Freaks and Geeks so I thought …
Duplex - (starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore)
Duplex is total hilarious! I watch this movie and I just feel that movies like this really crack me up; in a funny and sort of fun way. How would you feel when you move into a particular Duplex and you find an elderly woman whom is so …
Alpha Dog Movie
When I watched the trailer for this film, I wasn’t impressed. Just another teen flick with young girls in bikini’s and young boys doing drugs Even though that was in the film, it wasn’t as prominent a part as you would think
The film is about a young …
Spanglish movie
Spanglish is a very boring movie and it completely disappointed me in every which way. Adam Sandler is a good actor, though his brilliance in acting hasn’t been noticed at the beginning of his career. He gave us many good films like Big Daddy, Punch Drunk Love and many …
Movie Reaping
I feel like this movie was too much like a remake of the Omen. It just had too much in common with it. I would have rather watched something different. In the previews it looked like it would be something different. I just didn’t care for the movie much …
Luther,2003 movie
“Luther,” 2003, starring Joseph Fiennes, is a well-done, compelling movie about the beginning of the Reformation. Seeing the questionable practices of the Catholic Church, Luther, a devoted monk, begins to question its teachings. Despite being a monk, he has never read the New Testament; when he does, he is …
Nim’s Island movie
So, yeah. This movie happened. Don’t. Watch. It. Please. The story is so atrociously terrible and the acting is subpar (other than Jodie Foster, of course.). Please.
Story: So this girl lives on an island in South America with her father who is Gerald Butler, which apparently he does after …
Jurassic Park
I saw this movie as a kid and since then have seen it many times with equal interest every time. It is one of the most brilliantly animated movies I have ever seen. The 3D graphics make each and every Dinosaur spring to life on the screen, and …
