An American Haunting
Director Courtney Solomon’s direction in the film “An American Haunting” was well done in some aspects. I believe that he used the elements of atmosphere to his advantage and played with it to draw the audience into the dark winter of 1818. Unfortunately, like with most of …
D.E.B.S (2004)
Chick flick alert! This movie is centered around for basically cheerleading girls who, through a secret test in their school passed to become a group of spies. The test itself is designed to test the candidates’ abilities to fight, lie, cheat and kill. Needless to say, these four passed …
Annie Hall (1977)
This is a film that everyone associates with Woody Allen as it was so successful, winning four Academy Awards amongst others. It is very funny and always makes me laugh but Annie Hall was a turning point for Allen as he had now turned his back on the …
The Pursuit of Happiness

Death of a Ghost Hunter
One of the movies we ended up watching this past weekend was one called “Death of a Ghost Hunter.” My wife and I like the television series “Ghost Hunters” and I figured this movie would be close to that in terms of plot and would be halfway interesting.
I was …
Return From Witch Mountain
Sequels, especially Disney sequels, rarely make it, and this one is no exception. Even casting greats like Bette Davis and Christopher Lee was not enough to make this film anything but blaise. This was one story that should have remained untold, leaving Escape To Witch Mountain to stand on …

The Reef (thriller movie)
So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …

Memento movie
The beginning of Memento did little to impress me. It was confusing and I was concerned from the start that it just wasn’t going to be my kind of movie. The film stars Guy Pearce as Leonard, who is suffering from short-term memory loss and is after …
Just Friends movie
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Just Friends, starring Amy Smart and Ryan Reynolds.

Fog,movie
If ever that I could have a chance to say this to everyone in the world, find a book, do not watch.

The Borrowers movie
The Borrowers was a 1973 presentation from the Hallmark Hall of Fame, but the first time I saw it was just this week. Though the movie has a wonderful cast, it just wasn’t really my style for some reason.
I realize that the special effects, so to speak, were …
Dead Poets Society (1989 Film)
The 1989 film, Dead Poets Society, was an emotional, rejuvenating yet sorrowfully disturbing tale that left me both impressed, yet extremely sad for the main characters. If you are a fan of an elaborate tale about being inspired to enjoy literature as well as life by “Seizing the day” …

Dead Mary (UR, 2006) movie

To Sir With Love
“To Sir with Love” is one of my all time favorite movies. I’ve seen it dozens of times and I still cry every time I see the movie. I think it is the ultimate teacher movie ever. The 1967 Columbia British Productions movie was filmed in color and lasts …

I only watched The Guardian because one of the main stars is Kevin Costner. I’ve liked him for a long time, even though not all of his movies have been the best. I knew from the previews that Ashton Kutcher was in the movie too, but I still wanted …

The Thing from Another World movie
This film was directed by Howard Hawks back in the 1960s, but for some reason the famous director let an unknown filmmaker take all the credit. Perhaps it wasn’t good for is rumour to be affiliated with a story like this, I’m not sure.
Anyway, the plot centres around a …

The Night Listener, Patrick Stettner Movie
‘The Night Listener’ is the umpteenth time from the movie Robin Williams is illicit nuances. Efforts in genres varying from the usual role he (comedy) sometimes successfully, but sometimes also appear with no convincing. For me, including The Night Listener, which is quite successful.
