The Recruit (2003)
I have made some harsh statements as it relates to the acting prowess of Colin Farrell and for that I must say LOL, I got you didn’t I? Even though this movie was a lot better than most of his movies, and he managed to show that he can …
Gwoemul
Well, we all know that disposing of toxic chemicals into major water supplies is bad, right kiddies? Not so in this story, which leads to some largely predictable consequences.

Drowning Mona
Drowning Mona with Neve Campbell, Casey Affleck, Bette Midler, Danny DeVito, Will Ferrell, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
This movie is a perfect example of dry humor. Danny DeVito delivers his cynical lines in his trademark manner. Curtis is her usual sexy self as the waitress had …

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was one in which I was leery about. Recently Nicholas Cage’s films have been sort of a letdown, but not this one. His co-star Jay Baruchel has a quirky sort of scholarly charm that makes him the perfect hero of our film. We …
flushed away
Yet another animation.this computer-animated comedy is from the same company that produces the famous hit “wallace & gromit- the curse of the were rabbit. as the previous one make a great success and it was the oscar winning animation, i was expecting this to be equally good but it …

The Curios Case Of Benjamin Button
When I went to see this movie I was excited, it looked interesting and I thought it would be funny, something happy for the long and often depressing holidays. The movie kept me interested, but just barely, I should have just stopped watching it right away, but I kept …
The Nude Bomb
I have never watched the show Get Smart; even though it has been on television in re-runs for decades. Yet, for some reason, when I saw the movie based on the series “The Nude Bomb,” I figured I would watch it.
I didn’t even get halfway through it before I …

Earth Girls are Easy (movie)
When watching the movie Earth Girls are Easy, you might be fooled into thinking you�re going to watch a hilarious movie. The reality is, outside of seeing Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans and Jeff Goldbloom in early roles, there really aren�t many redeeming qualities to this film. Unless of course …
Titanic (1997 movie)
One of the longest movies that I have ever watched. It’s a love story on a doom Ocean Liner. The movie Titanic, based on history as the largest ship ever built…it sank, and it killed alot of people, very very sad. That is not the focus of this…the focus …
Scotiabank Theater in Vancouver, Canada
I have to say this cinema outlet is very hard to find. While in the Vancouver Airport, or the YVR on December 26, 2009, I searched the Web for the nearest cinema in which to watch Avatar in digital 3D for the second time.
The Scotiabank Theater come up …
Avengers: Age of Ultron - Superhero Movie (2015)
Being a big Marvel fan, and having loved ‘The Avengers’ movie of 2012, I had high expectations for its sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron. While the movie was watchable, I was let down by a seemingly weak story line and lost acting. I wasn’t satisfied with the movie and I …

2001 Manics Movie
While watching the movie 2001 Manics, I couldn’t help but think that it was the ultimate B-movie which I was usually so turned off of watching. It had lots of sex, gore, bad acting and young people which is what most B-movies usually has, not to mention the lack …
Avatar in Digital 3D
I wanted to write about Avatar while it’s still fresh in my mind. I watched it on December 24, 2009 for a hefty fee of $14.99 (that’s how much it costs to watch a full-blown digital 3D movie these days). On second thought, this cost is not …

28 Days Later
28 days later is your typical zombie movie even though what those things are can’t really be thought of as zombies.
Basically a virus spreads and turns everyone it came into contact with into bloodthirsty savages which kill on sight. Unlike zombies though they are faster and (at least in …
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
I really enjoyed watching the film 30 Days of Night and was excited when I heard that a sequel would soon be coming to the big screen. To what potential readers may find dismaying, I have to say that that 30 Days of Night: Dark Days was unimpressive.
I did …
Breach
The best way to describe the movie “Breach” is a Bourne story without the action. Based on a true story, “Breach” has a great cast of actors Chris Cooper, Ryan Phillippe and Laura Linney. The true pity is that this movie was released in the same year …
Saving Mr. Banks (2013 Film)
I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for Disney movies. They always have a way of dragging me back to my childhood to the happy times of being a kid without a care in the world.
Saving Mr. Banks is the real life approach to Mary Poppins. At first, when I heard …
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Y Tu Mama Tambien was really hard for me to follow. It is the story of two young men, Tenoch and Julio. Julio and Tenoch decide to go to the beach and convince Luisa to go with them. Tenoch and Julio are like college age and Luisa is an …
Tombstone Movie
With an all star cast and a killer plot, you cannot miss with this movie. It has an abundance of all the right stuff in a classic western, for example, it has lots of shootouts, loads of shootouts. This movie is great…just great, nothing short of what you know …

Johnny Dangerously movie
An honest and decent man is forced into criminality when his mother is having a severe disease, and he sees no other way out.
This is supposed to be some kind of comedy, but with the exceptions of a few scenes where Michael Keaton is absolutely brilliant, I didn’t think …
Shutter Island Movie (2010)
Who would have thought that Leonardo DiCaprio would be one of the greatest actors that would star in a lot of great blockbuster movies? One of these movies would be Shutter Island (2010). This was one of the best movies that I have seen DiCaprio in next to Inception. …
Awakenings ( 1991 Movie )
This is a film that was shown in 1990. It was nominated for best picture that year in the Academy Awards. The movie was set in 1969 based on the memoirs of Oliver Sacks. The movie’s lead roles were portrayed by Robin Williams and Robert De Niro. I just recently …
Were the Millers (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for “We’re the Millers” on television, I decided that it looked funny enough for me to see it as a light hearted comedy after it was released. I didn’t think that it would actually be hilarious though since it had actors such as …
Cool Runnings
This 1993 movie, Cool Runnings, was another huge surprise to me. I just happen to watch it one day on cable when a fluke of going up and down the channels landed on it. I became hooked on it, and now it’s a movie I enjoy watching …

Spider Man 3
Spider man 3 script was poorly written,too many characters,forgot what story to tell.At the same time,movie manages to entertain and you will see breath-taking fight scenes,rich visuals etc., You feel that many scenes are selected from other movies or previous spider man movies.
Some spoilers
There are good scenes where Parker …

Sparkling Cyanide movie
Sparkling Cyanide from 1983 was surprisingly entertaining in my opinion. The story is taken from the Agatha Christie novel, and I’ve actually read that viewers well acquainted with the mystery novel say the movie is not in line with the book and shouldn’t even have Christie’s name on …

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (UR, 2007) movie
I waited until this movie came out on DVD to rent the Director’s Cut. I am so glad that I did. I knew that this movie would be funny simply because Judd Apatow (”The 40 Year-Old Virgin”) was at the helm. Additionally, there is no …

The Godfather
The Godfather is my favorite movie of all time. I love everything about it. Al Pacino, James Cann, Robert Duvall, and Marlon Brando play their roles with tremendous ability. They make their roles come alive and make the mafia family seem real. I especially like Maroln Brando as Vito …
Die Hard 4.0
Few have probably not heard of the Die Hard series,let alone Bruce Willis.The main character remains the same,namely John McClane (now bald),a detective that seemingly has the “talent” to enforce any given situation.In the movie,years have past since the last encounter,and McClane is trying to make peace with his …
The Runaway Bride,1999 movie
“The Runaway Bride” is a romantic comedy, light, witty, and well-made, although perhaps with a bit unrealistic premise. Maggie Carpenter (Julia Roberts) is a small town woman who has become a local celebrity of sorts for leaving several fiances at the altar and running away - just like that, …
Spiderman 3
I saw Spiderman 3 at a matinee the weekend after it opened. There had already been a ton of reviews stating just how horrible it was and that Sam Raimi is just a huge dissapointment with this one.
NEVER listen to critics. Always make your own decision when …
Movie: The Prowler
I was in the mood for a good old fashioned slasher movie this past weekend and decided to look to the 1980s, when slasher movies ruled. I ended up picking out one I hadn’t heard of before called The Prowler and it ended up being one of the better …
A Christmas Carol (1938)
As it turned out, I was only able to view one version of A Christmas Carol this year. Normally, I see several, but scheduling just didn’t work out, not to mention I didn’t notice this Charles Dickens’ classic being shown all that much. This A Christmas Carol …
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Movie)
I was greatly disappointed in this movie because of the fact that the movie was not very close to the series that was shown on Nickelodeon. Yes, there were the main characters that were supposed to be there but the truth is that if you’ve never seen the cartoon …
The Orphanage (2007)
Yesterday, my whole family and my boyfriend managed to watch this DVD movie, The Orphanage (2007), and I must say it scared the daylights out of us. This is a Spanish movie, so be prepared to read the subtitles. It ain’t that bad, but ain’t that good either. …
Hostel (movie)
When we started watching the movie Hostel last night, we thought we were going to get a good thriller. What we got was a bad porn film pretending to be a scary movie.
The movie, which is supposed to be about three Americans traveling in Europe who end up getting …
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 (science fiction movie)
I haven’t really been a fan of “The Hunger Games” movies for a very long while. As a matter of fact, while I don’t think they are terrible I’m one of those people who would describe it as being “a tad bit overrated”. However, it was curiosity more than anything …
