“A Christmas Carol,” 2009 (Animation)
We went to see the new animated “Christmas Carol” movie yesterday. Like all new Disney animations, it is done in 3D; we got the 3D glasses as we bought the tickets, and paid $3 more per ticket because of it. It was well worth it though: I felt like …

Julie and Julia
I wasn’t prepared to like Julie and Julia when I rented it on DVD; although I enjoy Nora Ephron’s writing, whether it is books or screenplays, I just didn’t think a movie about the famed cook Julia Child would be that interesting. Despite the fact that she remains one of …
The Death of Richie movie
Wow. I almost hated to watch this movie again because it’s a heartbreaker, and more than that, it’s a true story. That’s why it rips through me. I remember watching this in 1977. I remember reading about it. I believe it was Parade that did a …
Indiscreet movie
Indiscreet is actually my first exposure that I can recall to a young Gloria Swanson, who stars in this 1931 film as Gerry Trent. So much of what I have seen is Swanson decades later and the caricature that is so often parodied on shows like The Carol …

This is the End, Film
At first glance, —˜This is the End’ could be viewed as a vanity project. A comedy produced by the actors who star as themselves, it all feels a little bit self-congratulatory. The plot involves Seth Rogan, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson and James Franco having to …
Sex Tape (comedy movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Sex Tape for the very first time, I knew almost immediately that it wasn’t going to be very good. Nevertheless, I was still interested in the premise surrounding the film, which was the idea of a married couple accidentally releasing a Sex …
‘Shutter Island’ movie
I remember seeing trailers for this movie a few years back, but I don’t recall hearing anything one way or the other. The trailers made it look like a solid psychological thriller, so I figured I’d check it out.
The premise is simple enough, a federal marshall goes …
Here Comes the Boom (movie)
One of the movies that I realised that I underrated the most earlier on in the year was the one that went by the same name of a POD song called “Here Comes the Boom”. One of the reasons why I didn’t even consider watching it at the time …
10th Kingdom Movie
A fairytale story about some teenagers finding themselves in the world of Snow White, Cinderella and lots of other fairytale characters when walking through Central Park in New York.
A film clearly intended for young teenagers, but if you look at it in that way I actually have to admit …
Suspect Zero (R, 2004) movie
I had this film in my Netflix queue, and finally purchased it somewhere else before viewing it. I really wish I had seen the movie first, or I would not have bought it. As much as I like Carrie-Anne Moss, I simply found her role in …
Paranormal Activity movie
Last night I watched the movie Paranormal Activity. From the moment the movie began I thought, “Oh no this movie is so cheaply made.” However I decided I’d give it a chance since I’d heard so many great things about it.
From the beginning when they set the camera …

Wanted Movie
I saw all of the previews and trailers for Wanted with Angelina Jolie as Fox and Morgan Freeman as Sloan, so I felt I had to go see this movie in the theatre and could not wait until it comes to DVD. I like the way the movie introduced …
Poetry: A film by Lee Chang-Dong (2010)
I see a film whenever I can. Some I can vividly remember, while others are so yesterday. My short-term memory decides either to keep or forget a certain film. One I remember of late is a Korean film simply entitled, “Poetry.” I first knew about …
Paris Je T’aime
I love watching Paris Je T’aime so much that I have watched it for over 2 times. This is a special case movie, and it features about 20 directors to create a 5 minute film about Paris. That is great, I get to see 20 different stories …
School Ties
It is very difficult to find four great and known actors in one movie; however “School Ties” managed to do this by putting together at that time emerging actors such as Brendan Fraser, Chris O’Donnell, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
What I really liked about School Ties is the fact …

White Noise movie
White Noise is yet another scary movie that wasn’t so scary. The movie is about people who try to contact ghosts using EVP. I mean some small parts of the movie were actually scary. But I thought most, of the movie was not scary at all. So as I was …
A pilot’s wife movie
I watched “The pilot’s wife” today on lifetime movie network. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It could have been better but overall it was pretty good. I would recommend watching it, but if you have a better movie then I would watch that instead. This girl who …
Baby Geniuses movie
I really love to watch this movie when I was still pregnant. I was amazed with how the baby were able to think very well although its a little fictional. I really love it since its very enjoyable seeing little babies talk to each other and how a little …
Dead Like Me DVD Set
The first disk of the Dead Like Me DVD set contains the pilot plus a lot of special features. There were a number of deleted scenes, something that I always love to see. My one complaint is that there were four screens of these deleted scenes and …
Spectre (2015 James Bond Film)
A lot of people I knew were very excited to see the movie Spectre as soon as it was released. While my excitement didn’t necessarily reach their level, I was certainly curious to see what it would be about since my interest in James Bond movies had been rekindled over …
Shall We Dance? (2004)
A masterful love story about ones passion, this movie is not only about love for another person, it is also about the love that a person has for what that person is doing and in this case, it is all about dancing. Yes, just as the title says, this …
Kungfu Panda
This is a terrible movie; I can’t stop laughing myself no matter how much I’ve watched this movie. The animation was too smooth and perfect that it’s really well-detailed for both the fun and the story plot. The sequences were flowing just right that I really like every motion. …
Kill Bill Volume 1
I’m not a big fan of Quentin Tarantino so before I saw Kill Bill Volume 1, I didn’t really know what to expect (I failed to watch the much talked about Pulp Fiction). I’m sure glad I watched it because it’s truly one of the most engaging movies I’ve …
Flushed Away
I enjoyed this movie for its settings more than anything else. It is an interesting concept to view the surface world above as �up there�, and to have an entire city, Ratopolis, below, loosely resembling London. The film primarily reminded me of Romancing the Stone. The female lead, Rita, …

The Signal(2007) is in the genre of Horror/Suspense and is rated R for strong brutal bloody violence throughout, pervasive language and brief nudity.

Death in Love Movie (2008)
Death in love is not a usual kind of movie, which generally was not accepted well by neither the critics nor the public. And do not blame them one bit. Death in love in unconventional, not clearly structured, and the topics dealt within this movie are just all over …
Jeepers Creeper (2001)
I don’t know what they may say about Jeepers Creepers but I think this one of the scariest movies I’ve seen. It’s got a sequel Jeepers Creepers II, shown in 2003 but the first one is scarier. The creeper (played by Jonathan Breck) is some kind of …

Eden Lake is one of those films that you’re really going to get into right away. It starts off like any other film, with the obligatory couple going off to enjoy the wilderness alone and really have a great time. This couple heads to Eden Lake …
Dirty Dancing
How often does a movie come along that you can watch it 5 times in one day and not ever get tired of it? I think the music is what makes this movie so good. And of course, the dancing. And Patrick Swayze. Oh my goodness, he is gorgeous …
A Dead Calling
A Dead Calling is the kind of movie that I would only watch as a last resort, or because it was cheap. In my case it was a little of both. My local video rental place was clearing out some of their older movies, and I managed to grab …
Tell No One - (starring Kristin Scott Thomas)
How would one feel when the wife of a few years dead in a high-profile murder case suddenly sends a message indicating her existence? That’s more or less the plot of Tell No One, starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Francois Cluzet.
Margot is the name of the wife …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow movie
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of the best of J.k. Rowling’s seven series. The last series answers all of the un-answered question from the previous series. The movie is no doubt one of history’s best movie. I was whoo and whoa by it and it was …

Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
Neither a brilliant film in its own right or high scorer in the genre, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue or Let Sleeping Corpses Lie as it is sometimes known, is a passable enough zombie movie that should prove watchable enough at least to any zombie fan. The story …
Cat’s Eye
I have to say I really enjoyed the Stephen King movie Cat’s Eye. This movie was very intense and actually had me feeling scared. I thought that Quitter’s INC was a very scary episode in the film. You see Cat’s Eye is made up of 3 short movies and it …
The 13th Warrior (1999 movie)
Where do they get these ideas from? An Arab travels to the north countries where he is chosen to accompany 12 Viking warriors on a mission to seek out and destroy a dark evil. Antonio Banderas plays the role of the ill-fated Arab with his long-winded name…I wouldn’t even …
Silver Streak
If ever there was a favorite Gene Wilder film to choose, which is a hard task to accomplish, then Silver Streak would be a definite contender. It is this film that introduced Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor to one another, even though the first half of the film is …

Forget Twilight. Underworld. Dracula. Blade. Forget Interview with a Vampire. This is one of the best vampire movies you will ever see.
