Brewster’s Millions
I’ve seen the ending to the movie Brewster’s Millions at least a dozen times. But, today was the first time I’ve actually sat down for a couple of hours to watch it.
While I didn’t really find this Richard Pryor comedy all that funny, I do have to say this …
“The life of David Gale” movie
History of sentenced to death, university lecturer and social activist divides the viewers. The film can be assessed in two ways. The positive side is its message and emotions triggered in the viewer, negative - a lot of shortcomings in terms of direction and screenplay.
Despite the various advantages and …
Daredevil movie
“Daredevil” is a 2003 movie starring Ben Affleck as Daredevil, The Man Without Fear. Daredevil is my all-time favorite Marvel Comics superhero, and I watched this movie the first time with high hopes. My high hopes were dashed by the first viewing, but I probably still like …

In reality, this movie which did turn into …
Battle: Los Angeles (movie)
I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews about the movie “Battle: Los Angeles”. I’ve read bad ones, where people say it’s one of the worst movies they’ve seen, and that it’s a waste of time and money; and I’ve read good ones, where people say it’s one of …

Brothers (2009) movie
Brothers was an interesting film to say the least the three lead roles really made this movie for me, but overall I enjoyed it and it somewhat relates to real life.
The plot of the movie is pretty straight forward but there are lots of subtle entities that you …

Clifford the Big Red Dog Doggie Detectives
I went to our local Movie Gallery last night in search of a movie for my 4-year-old daughter. She has been watching a lot of Scooby Doo movies lately and, because she’s a bit too young to be watching without getting scared, has been having nightmares. So, I wanted …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I had been waiting on the edge of my seat for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to come out. I watched all of the movies prior to this one on DVD three or four times in the last month, getting reaquainted with the story and the …
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, …
The Duff (2015 comedy movie)
It had been a long time since I watched one of those teenage movies, and so after seeing the trailer for the movie “The Duff”; I became interested in seeing it. Despite the opinions of some people I know, it didn’t seem cliche to me at the time, and I …
Mr & Mrs Smith DVD
Brad Pitt and Anjolina Jolie no doubt make an attractive couple. With that said let’s get to the much anticipated movie that has just been released on DVD.
This movie was highly marketed. With two of the biggest hollywood stars, this movie was sure to be a hit.
The movie …
The X-Flies: I Want to Believe
I enjoyed The X-Files: I Want to Believe more than any of the X-Files television series I watched. I was happy to see the characters Dana Scully, Fox Mulder and Assistant Director Walter Skinner being played by the original cast. I think it takes a lot away from the …
Up In The Air (Movie)
One of the most anticipated DVD releases, at least in my mind, was Up In The Air, the George Clooney movie which was nominated for several Academy Awards at the recent Oscar ceremonies. I like George Clooney movies, although I hesitate to say that I love all of his …

Tale of Despereaux movie
Synopsis: A young mouse and his rat friend swear an oath to help a princess.
What I liked about this movie: While there were quite a few things I didn’t like about this movie (more on that later), I will say the film did have its moments.
For one, Despereaux definitely …
Along Came Polly (movie)
Along Came Polly is a funny, funny, funny movie about a man who gets married and while on his honeymoon in paradise, his wife runs off with the scuba diving instructor! Ben Stiller plays Rueben, an uptight, anal analyst who is heartbroken. That is the sad part of Along …
Man of The Year
Man of the Year is a good comedy. From all of the trailors I thought they would actually let the comedian become president not that he would get the truth out in time. I enjoyed the movie I just think it would have been funnier the other way if …

Strange Wilderness (starring Steve Zahn)
I went to watch Strange Wilderness before with my best friend and we were just choosing it at random. The cast is pretty unknown to us except for Steve Zahn, which I couldn’t quite put a name to him. And if you are trying to find Bigfoot, you …
Holiday Wishes movie
I love to watch a good Christmas movie, and goodness knows, I’ve watched a ton, but even so, I have to admit that this 2006 TV movie, Holiday Wishes, is just a so-so film that doesn’t really emit any emotions of consequence. It’s a filler with mostly mediocre …
The Rundown (starring Dwayne Johnson)
I love watching The Rundown very much. The movie stars Seann William Scott and the ever hunky Dwayne Johnson. I watched it on TV yesterday and it was action pack, double duo fun. Was talking to my mom that it’s an unlikely duo of Dwayne and Seann. …

Shinobi
Shinobi is a japanese movie but depending on where you get it, it comes with english subs (in my case, thai and chinese were available also). Shinobi actually means ninja. It’s your typical movie of two ninja tribes going against each other but the boy and girl from different …
Inglourious Basterds: Movie
Inglourious Basterds is without a doubt my favourite movie of 2009.
It’s fascinating, thrilling, unique and even has moments of comedy in it all at the same time.
The plot is an interesting one; I like how they took a different approach to things rather than the typical World War 2 …

National Security movie
I actually watched the movie “National Security” when I was in a bad mood and wanted to put a smile on my face and it did work out! Martin Lawrence and Steve Zahn acting abilities together with the plot of this movie full of interesting twist, made …
The Bounty Hunter (2010)
I have loved Gerard Butler since seeing him do comedy on The Ugly Truth, he can be such a natural jerk and it makes me wonder if he’s really like that in person, just curious because he’s so good at what he does! Anyway, this story sets on Gerard …
An American Haunting
An American Haunting is a good movie, supposedly to be based on a true story about John Bell and his family. I was watching it with some friends and my boyfriend, and we were all ready to get spooked or something. Instead, the movie turned out pretty …
Crowned and Dangerous movie
Some nights ago, I watched a movie called “Crowned and Dangerous” on Lifetime Movie Network. I am not usually a big fan of most of the movies that I have seen being aired on Lifetime, but since this one looked like it had potential to be interesting and …
Confessions of a Shopaholic movie
I felt sad after watching this movie. I thought it had great promise considering it was dealing with a different kind of addiction. Unfortunately, the script and the beat made the theme unimportant and somewhat irrelevant. I found so many scenes quite slapstick-y and dumb, and I felt irritated …
Middlemarch (1994), a movie
This beautifully made movie has too many different storylines and subplots to mention them all, so I will only describe several. Dorothea (Juliet Aubrey), a beautiful gentlewoman, is not vain like so many of her class, she has the desire to be of use, to do something good for …

Movie The Aviator
The Aviator is an extremely long movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio. In the film he portrays Howard Hughes, and although I normally do not like super long movies, this one is kinda good. I will state a fact, Leonardo Dicarprio can not consider me a fan of his work. I don’t …
Furious 7 (Fast & Furious 7) - Movie (2015)
Furious 7, starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson is a movie that had high expectations before its release, primarily due to Paul Walker’s death, half-way through the filming of the movie. In my opinion, the movies in the Fast & Furious series have been disappointing but Furious 7 …
Willy Wonka is Willy Bad
I have seen both versions of Willy Wonka and I can speak from personal experience. Johnny Depp couldn’t be more awful! The old version portrayed Wonka as a dignified adult of English society with a streak of uncontrollable genius.
In this movie the jokes are corny and disgusting, the Oopa …
Monster In Law movie
I don’t know if the whole Jennifer Lopez thing is all played out. But seeing her in another “Getting Married” movie is just not cutting it for me anymore. This movie is another don’t watch film starring J-Lo. If you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. This film is …
The Hottie & The Nottie
Considering it had Paris Hilton in the starring role and the fact it came straight to DVD, I had a lot of doubts about the film The Hottie & The Nottie.
After all, this is 2008, you would think a movie that focuses just on a woman’s looks rather than …

Movie Cloverfield

Avatar (2009 film)
Making the highest grossing film of all times is James Cameron’s trademark ability in the moviemaking industry. Avatar indeed delivers visual greatness of unseen scope just like Titanic did in 1997. Truth remains that the visuals are not enough to make a movie Number 1 at the box office. …
