Movie: Next (2007)

Batman Begins Movie
The previous four films about Batman seemed to have presented everything that the comics that they were based upon and filmed had to offer. First the unsurpassed art-favorite Tim Burton carried the great adventures of the superhero in “Batman” (1989) and “Batman Returns” (1992), followed by Joel Schumacher who …
Rio (Animation)
I remember walking to a mall one day and there was a HUGE banner on top of the roof about Rio. And then when I went to target next to the mall, they also have a huge stand with Rio DVD/Bluray pack. I heard really good reviews about this …
The American (2010 Movie)
Shortly after starring in Batman & Robin, George Clooney said that he had come to the point in his career where he’s financially secure enough to make the sort of movies he wants to make, the kinds of movies like Bullitt and The Thomas Crown Affair, Cool Hand Luke …
Bad News Bears
I was flipping channels today and came across the original Bad News Bears on one of the movie channels. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie and I have to admit it is much better than I remember it.
The interesting thing about Bad News Bears is, while …
Eastern Promises
I am reviewing the movie, Eastern Promises, starring Viggo Mortinsen. So there is this woman. Her name is Anna. She is a nurse. She lives with her mother and uncle. Awhile ago, she had a miscarriage. As a nurse, she comes into contact with a young …
Mamma Mia
I’m a child of the 70’s. Yes, that means I was a *child* in the 70’s, so I never really was into Abba much. I just remember bopping to ‘Dancing Queen’ at the school disco (wearing my Mum’s incredibly psychodelic maxi dress if I remember correctly) so I was …
Flicka
This movies stars Alison Lohman as a teenager just coming home from boarding school to her parents horse ranch. While at school, she continually dreams of being back at the ranch and the horses, thus failing her courses. Anyway, once back at the ranch, she takes a …
Alien 3
Perhaps the entry into the franchise that divides opinion more than most; Alien 3 legacy is as evolving as the planning stages that originally promised such an elaborate and original tale.
While dreams of a wooden planet, filled with a cast of devout monks and glorious imagery were never …
Love Crime (2010 film)
Love Crime is a French thriller that manages to keep you on the edge of your seat, undeterred to chase along the rapid-fire subtitles at the bottom. A film by Alain Corneau, Love Crime stars Ludivine Sagnier (the chic Parisienne in Love Songs and notably from another Ozon …
TMNT
I remember being a kid in third grade and absolutely loving the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles. They had a good cartoon, (or so I thought at that age) and made a few movies back then and some good money off their merchandising. Now in 2007, the turtle gang …
FreeMovieOnly.com
I really enjoy movies so I most of the time search the web for new upcoming movies, critics, photos etc. A few weeks ago, I came across Freemovieonly.com, which is a blog with a huge movie database, in fact they have almost 700 movies and they put more everyday. …
Haunted Mansion (2003)
Honestly, I just find Nathaniel Parker cute that’s why I finished this movie and wishing I had been Marsha Thomason just to snatch that role. Yes, this is a funny movie but I was wondering why Walt Disney Pictures, or anyone else who has been part of making …
Cast Away (2000)
Cast Away, directed by Robert Zemeckis is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for intense action sequences and some disturbing images. The original release date was December 22, 2000 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Adventure/Drama and stars Tom Hanks as …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
The great and quite long series of books&movies which has been around for more than a decade is about to come to an end.
Being a loyal Harry Potter fan, I read all the books in the series, watched the movies and even played the computer games..
Usually I wasn’t very …
The Insanity (2016 Chinese Comedy)
The Insanity is a 2016 Chinese black-comedy film directed by Rao Xiaozhi, starring Wan Qian, Zhou Yiwei and Wang Zijian.
*I suggest you don’t watch the trailer, because it contains spoilers.*
I am speechless. I still haven’t gotten over the impact of the movie although it has been 2 hours after I …
Wishmaster (1997)
This movie is the classic case of being careful what you wish for. I have always been telling my friends and family that very same quote year after year, time after time and it has never proven me wrong to date. Whether you are talking about real life situations …
Happy Feet
Happy Feet (2007) This movie was a charmer! I loved it as much as my grandkids. It is a happy, feel good movie. It makes you want to get up and start dancing. This is one of the best children’s movies I have seen. I could …
Wreck It Ralph movie
Wreck It Ralph is a fantastic movie, both for kids and for adults. It is very family-friendly, and a great flick for a movie night.
The movie was released on October 29, 2012 in theaters, and is approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes long. I personally enjoyed every minute …
Whatever Happened To Baby Jane
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is a movie about two sisters. Baby Jane Hudson was a child star who never got past the adoration of cheering crowds and a father who spoiled her. Blanche Hudson, her older sister, was a shy and reserved child who ended up being the …
The Disaster Artist (2017 Biographical Comedy-Drama Film)
A lot of biopics (or movies about real people) are made about successful people who did amazing jobs in their respective fields. I can’t think of many films that do the opposite until The Disaster Artist. A movie about director Tommy Wiseau who made the worst (as some would say) …
Before Sunrise movie
The movie “Before Sunrise” is an excellent example that you don’t need to do a lot of stunts or spend a lot of money to make a great movie. This movie shows that a simple and straight forward story with two great actors and good filming crew can do …
Futurama Movie #1 - Bender’s Big Score
After Matt Groening and David X Cohen’s television comedy series Futurama was canceled at the end of Season Four, it ended on a potentially upbeat note, but it was open-ended enough to leave fans wondering if there would be any future installments in the series. Not long after, …
Hot Chick movie
Hot Chick is a very funny movie and I was literally in splits througout the time I was watching the movie. I have always been enjoying the movies in which Rob Schneider acts and I am a great admirer of his acting skills and comic timing. This movie is …
The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery movie
This movie, The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery, seemed like it would be a lot more interesting than it was. It’s a crazy set up, though, with some nonsense about adoption and motherhood. Justine Bateman stars as wife, mom, and writer Lucy Freers who turns sleuth to find the …
Driving Miss Daisy movie
Driving Miss Daisy is a sweet, nostalgic feeling film that focuses upon the relationship between a lady and her driver. Daisy is played by Jessica Tandy and her driver is Hoke, played by Morgan Freeman. Now Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman are two of my all-time favorite actors and …
Hairspray
If nothing else, this remake of the 1988 musical is worth watching for John Travolta playing the main character’s mother - yes, *mother*. She is fat, and she dances. Travolta is unrecognizable under layers of latex and a fat suit, when I first saw a photo of him in …
The Dilemma (Movie)
The Dilemma is newly out of cinemas (Depends where you live) here in South Africa. The trailer was very ammusing, and i thought the movie would be hilarious.
I rented the movie on Box Office (Exclusive to Dstv, a south african TV company) for a fairly cheap price. I eagerly …
An Officer and a Gentleman movie
Richard Gere in his best role as the rebellious Mayo. He goes through one of the toughest military educations and meets the love of his life in the meantime. The story combines heartbreaking romantic sequences with the almost sadistic way the soldiers are treated by their superior officers, and …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.1: Pilot
I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous about what this show was going to be like before watching the first episode. We have a cast of practically new actors who are playing familiar characters we all know and love, Sarah and John Connor in particular. For those of …
The Iron Giant movie
The Iron Giant tells the tale of a boy who befriends a giant robot. The robot is actually a war machine but it does not remember its programming (it got a dent on the head..lol). This movie shows how vindictive some people can be when they can’t have things …
Paint Your Wagon
Last night, I watched Paint Your Wagon on the TCM network. I’ve seen the movie numerous times since it’s release, probably well over a hundred viewings. I recall that when the musical was released, I actually saw it in the theater a good thirty times. It’s …
The Final Problem
I am reviewing The Final Problem, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, produced in 1983 by Granada television. This episode finds Holmes running for his life the entire time, trying desperately to escape his nemises, Professor Moriarty, who has had enough of …
Reign Over Me (2007)
Director: Mike Binder. Featuring Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle, Jada Pinkett Smith, Liv Tyler, Saffron Burrows and Donald Sutherland.
I thought it was a really good movie, although definitely not easy to watch. When I saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be more on a comedy side. The fact …
Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Movie

A wealthy, ruthless TV executive is the focus of this modern day remake of the classic tale of the story of Scrooge. As the story goes, this person is cold hearted and career driven to the point that no one likes to be around him yet alone work with …
The movie P.S. I love you
I absolutely can’t stand the movie P.S. I love you because it is so stupid and it delivers a stupid message to women. The movie is about a young married couple and the husband dies and she than receives letters from her husband who wrote them all before he …
Cirque du Freak - The Vampire’s Assistant
I recently caught this movie while flipping through HBO, and I had to write a review on it since I’m an avid vampire fan.
Cirque du Freak is a very unique vampire film for it deals with a number of issues that plague teenagers today, like friendship, parents, life and …
Rush Hour 3 (2007)
Coming back for a third time, Rush Hour 3, in my opinion, has done a lot better than the second. With a great addition of Israeli actor Yvan Attal, who plays George, this movie is a great finish to top off a funny trilogy.
Jackie Chan is back and better …
DVD Tomb of the Werewolf (2003)
Tomb of the Werewolf (2003)
A thorough, total and utter travesty and the only film I have ever seen that was both excruciating to watch and emtionally painful as well.
I’ve been reviewing several of Paul Naschy’s films on here lately. Naschy was Spain’s reigning king of horror in the late …
Police Academy (movie)
I haven’t watched the unedited version (as in, actual movie not one edited for TV) of Police Academy in years. But, after watching it again last weekend, I have to say I now realize just how good it was.
Other movies have tried to put together an insane group of …
“The green mile” movie
Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy. Frank Darabont, however, makes this perfectly, creates a delicious, challenging cinema, full of unexpected vertigo action and psychological analysis. Combining drama with fantasy does not sound appetizing. “The Green Mile” is an exception to the …
Babylon A.D. (2008)
This futuristic adventure that entails a mercenary contracted to deliver a young woman from the hills of a monastery to the city of New York takes the viewers on a ride like no other than you have seen before, or is it the other way around, it takes you …

In Venice’s lagoon which is far off from the city itself is a quaint fishing hamlet named Chioggia. It is a place where, for a very long period of time, the Fishers of the small village have been involved feeding the metropolitan area’s appetites. It is here …
“Playing House” (2006 Lifetime Movie Network Film)
This Lifetime Movie Network film which came out in 2006 starring Colin Ferguson and Joanne Kelly called “Playing House”, was sweet, but not exactly entertaining. The film was very predictable and common, something that I felt was seen in many movies before it but the stories were told in …
Vanished (movie)
If you�re a big fan of the television show Cold Case, then you may want to consider renting the movie Vanished if you haven�t seen it yet.
While the script leaves quite a bit to be desired, the movie and the intrigue it creates isn�t too bad. It�s not great, …
Movie Benny and Joon
Johnny Depp plays the roll of Sam, an accentric young man who falls in love with Joon, played by Mary Stuart Masterson, a young woman who lost touch with reality after her parents died. The movie is a clean, fun and enjoyable film to watch. A feel good story …
