The Hiding Place Movie
I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.
The story is of Corrie ten Boom, and her …
Mean Girls
I rented the movie Mean girls the other night it has been out for quite a while but I have never gotten around to watching this. If I was a teenage girl this would be one of my favorite movies. It is about a girl not just moving to …
Pathology film
“Pathology” is directed Marc Schoelermann and is written by the man who wrote “Crank” but please don’t let that scare you off. As much as I hated “Crank” and anyone of those “Leave you brain at the door” films but I took a chance …

The 1935 “Alice Adams” was produced in black and white by RKO. The movie is based on the novel by Booth Tarkington. “Alice Adams” runs 99 minutes which is a little too long as parts are slow. The beginning twenty minutes and the ending twenty minutes make the movie …
Kickass movie
The film “Kick-Ass” belongs to this unique type of works that when they’re ending, the viewer feels that he or she wants to see them again. Matthew Vaughn has proven that it can shoot a screening of the comic, which is virtually as good as the original. Even more, …
Free Willy (1993)
Just as the title states, this young boy launches a campaign in order to free a whale being held in captivity. That is the whole story that the directors have managed to stretch of a two hour period. Throwing the troubles of the boy and his family drama into …
Tom Hooper’s biographical movie “The King’s Speech”
On the rare occasion when I spare the money to see a film when it is first released to the cinematic theatres, I tend to be cautious: it is easy to turn off my TV or switch between channels, but a choice made between movies at the cinema is …

1408
What’s up with horror or thriller movies with numbers…? But the idea works for me. In 1408, I was scared out of my mind, truly. I watched it on DVD pretty recently and luckily my relatives were around.
The 3 of us, that is. We …
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 …
Thor (2011) Movie
I have for a long time been an amateur of legendary or epic figures, and especially those present in the Norse culture. For this very reason, I was unsure about watching this movie, being afraid that it might be more in the Hollywood style and not reflect the true …

Cry-Baby movie
Last week I watched a movie called Cry-Baby with my girlfriend as she’s found a fascination with Johnny Depp and this is I believe his first major role in a movie. To be very honest, my expectations for this movie were extremely low and I honestly didn’t expect …

Movie Monsters Inc
Pixar’s 2001 release, Monsters Inc., is probably my least favorite Pixar movie ever released. For some reason, I cannot forget that Billy Crystal and John Goodman are the voice actors in this movie. Its difficult to explain, but Tom Hanks becomes Woody, and Owen Wilson becomes Lightning …
Runaway Bride
Runaway Bride is a romantic comedy movie starring the lead actors of super hit movie, Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. Pretty Woman is a great movie and I love it like anything. That is one of the first romantic movies I have seen and I liked it …
Babysitter Wanted Horror movie
I am reveiwing the new Horror movie “Babysitter Wanted”. At first I thought this movie was going to be more like a Halloween Micke Myers kind of movie but when I beheld the child with the horns in the top of his head i was more than flabbergasted.
Initially …

The Darling Buds of May
I had never heard of the British TV series “The Darling Buds of May” until I saw a DVD set available at our local library. Now that I have watched it, I can’t help wondering why this show is so little known; it turned out to be so good.
Based …
Movie: The Incredibles
There wasn’t much on TV last night so I ended up sitting down and watching the movie The Incredibles for about the 5th or sixth time.
To be honest with you, I don’t know why I did. The movie is OK but there are plenty of animated films out there …
Norbit movie
This film is must watching film, I laugh from the beginning to the end of the film.
The story:
Norbit (Eddie Murphy) is a timid, nebbishy fellow, raised by Mr Wong (Eddie Murphy again) in a combination orphanage / Chinese restaurant in Boiling Springs.
As a child, Norbit love Kate, a fellow …

Blair Witch Project 2 (Movie)
Blair Witch Project 2 is a movie that I like because of Jeffery Donovan, but that’s about it. I had seen the movie a long time ago when it was still in the theater, and thought it was so-so. At least it’s better than the first movie. It picks …
Monsters Inc
Monsters Inc from Pixar is a delightful movie about an alternate universe where monsters are the citizens. What are monsters? Basically a race of colorful creatures, all unique and different, which inhabit a world very similar to our own. The main characters of the story are Sully (a large …
Wadjda (movie)
One of the reasons why I love Starz Cinema so much is because it sometimes brings my fix of foreign movies that I’m positive I will never see on any other channel that I have. Up to very recently, one of those was a movie made by Saudi Arabian …
Deep Rising
Deep Rising is a movie show that I’ve watched with my ex-boyfriend before and I really find this story such a B-O-R-E.
Starred by Treat Williams and some other casts, this is a story about some people on a ship and there are some bad guys trying to get …
Wanted : Angelina Jolie
The movie wanted is fantastic. It’s got a very nice idea of having assassins with supernatural abilities to be able to focus and see from a different perspective. The story is fast paced and unfolds rapidly before your eyes. It will lead you to believe something but then another …
Rock Rock Rock! movie
Rock Rock Rock! from 1956 is one of those movie musicals that is more like an excuse to show off the music of the day. The plot is thin and barely there, put in the back seat to the various songs that are sung.
Below are some thoughts on …
Brotherhood of the Wolf-(Le Pacte Des Loups)- (2001)
Usually I don’t enjoy watching foreign films with characters I am unfamiliar with. However, I decided to give this one a try. The plot seemed very interesting. There is a beast terrorizing the countryside and killing innocent villagers. Two unlikely heroes show up to investigate and solve the mystery …
Movie: Backwoods
My wife and I were watching the movie Wrong Turn last night on the SyFy channel when they advertised their film Backwoods. Naturally, I assumed this would be their version of Wrong Turn and didn’t think it would be any good. The only reason we didn’t switch the channel …
X-Files, I want to Believe
When the television show X-Files was on TV, I was a person who never found the enthusiasm to watch it. But, when the newest X-Files movie, I want to believe, came out, I figured I would give it a try to see what I had missed.
As it turned out, …
Star Wreck (DVD)
This is a DVD collection of three “Alvin and the Chipmunks” cartoons from the 1980s. I remember watching these on Saturday morning as a kid, so it was nice to see Alvin, Simon and Theodore again in action. I particularly love their theme song, “We’re the Chipmunks”, and the …
Hamlet movie
Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …
The Good Dinosaur (2015 Film)
I have a really weird fascination for Pixar films. In the country where I live, Pixar films tend to show late compared to their release dates stateside. That is why I had to wait for a month or two to catch them in cinemas rather than watch a downloaded a …
Pride & Prejudice 2006
I am reviewing the new version of Pride and Prejudice that was made in 2006, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth and Matthew MacFadyen as Darcy. Others starring included Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn. After watching this version after the A&E version starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, …
Yaadein (movie), 2001
The yaadein (remembrance) of the film Yaadein in perhaps no longer in any of our mind apart from its lovely songs and charming promotional advertisements (Lol). This movie released in 2001 and was directed by Subhash Ghai. I remember how lovely the promotional advertisement of the film was and …
Eyes without a face movie
A saw the Criterion Collection dvd of this visually breathtaking film a while ago. It was directed by Georges Franju, a french filmmaker working indepently from the new wave directors in the sixties. Eyes without a face is a horror-filled story about a plastic surgeon who kidnaps young girls, …
The Nice Guys (2016 Buddy-Comedy Film)
I am not really a huge fan of buddy-comedy movies. I particularly didn’t enjoy 21 Jump Street that I didn’t bother to check out its sequel. However, I am in a real marathon since falling in love with films recently. I have seen most of the “must-see” movies this year …
Straight Talk movie
Now Straight Talk is a movie with Dolly Parton that has some meat to it. It’s not quite the wonder that Nine to Five is, but Straight Talk is a good movie that has some real story to it.
Shirlee Kenyon (Parton) maneuvers her way into a radio job, …
Heathers (movie)
I might not see her in many movies now, especially after her shoplifting stunt a couple of years ago but once upon a time, Winona Ryder was one of my favourite actors. I especially liked a couple of her films from the eighties, some of which I could watch …
Movie Autopsy (UR, 2008)
I won’t say that I tried to like this movie, because I could tell right away that it would be one of those films that tries to be campy. The movie, which centers on this one chick (who can remember their names) who is looking for her …
