Movies Reviews
Mister Roberts movie
I am reviewing the movie, Mister Roberts, which was created back in 1955. Although an oldie, it is definitely a goodie. I accidently came across this movie on television about six years ago, and I immediately was hooked. This movie is filled with brilliant actors, including Henry …
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
One of my favorite family movies growing up was Mrs. Doubtfire. It’s one of Robin Williams’ best movies, I think. In it, he plays the father of three children that he hardly gets to see because of his divorce. So, he disguises himself as a senior-age …
Movie Man of the Year
I wasn’t sure what to think when they cast Robin Williams as a presidential candidate in the movie Man of the Year. But, after watching the film last night, I do think it is better than I expected it to be; though I’m not sure its his best film.
Williams …

The Vertical Ray of the Sun movie
The vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung is in my opinion one of the most interesting filmmakers the last 10-15 years, which he showed with brilliance in The Scent of Green Papaya and Cyclo. The Vertical Ray of the Sun was the most recent film he made and, similar to …
Redbox DVD Rental
I rent from the kiosk machine Redbox. It is conveniently located in a lot of grocery stores, gas stations, and some drug stores. I was previously renting from a movie rental store and would often get aggravated when I would turn in the movie a day late and would …
Movie Notting Hill
Notting Hill is an all time remembered British romantic comedy, which is loved by all. I don’t think anyone would say they hated the movie, I fell in love with the characters and so did everyone.
I’m a huge romantic and a Julia Roberts fan, its no surprise I love …
Bicentennial Man movie
This Robin Williams movie was a delightful surprise. I wasn’t expecting to like Bicentennial Man at all. Williams may be a terrific comic, but his films don’t usually thrill me personally. There are exceptions, of course, like Awakenings, which is why I decided to give this flick …
Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe (Chinese Adventure Action Movie)
Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe is a 2015 Chinese 3D adventure action film directed and co-written by Lu Chuan. The film is an adaptation of Tianxia Bachang’s 2006 best-selling novel Ghost Blows Out the Light.
I was reluctant to watch this movie because I’ve just watched a pretty bad Chinese tomb-exploring …
The West Wing Final Season
This was an amazing show, I think the scriptwriter’s were fantastic for the entire seven seasons of the show. The West Wing was a show created by the amazing Aaron Sorkin, based on the President and his staff. The President and First Lady were played …
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
The loveable, red-skinned hero is back to save the future of mankind. Action packed and absolutely hilarious, Hellboy 2 lives up to its prequel (Hellboy).
The scenario is unique, with sudden turns, heart-stopping moments and keeping me on my heels wanting more. The film is well budgeted with amazing …
Demolition Man
This is one of my favorite Sylvester Stallone movies. I loved the action scenes in this movie and the constant antagonism between him and Wesley Snipes. This movie was definitely not boring in any way and had so many great fight scenes. Wesley Snipes played the perfect nemesis …

Enchanted the Movie
Enchanted was a totally Cinderella story, until the end. It was a good modern day fairy tale, and I ended up really liking it a lot. I thought that it would be a little fake at first, but still wanted to watch it. It turned out really great, and …
Howard Stern’s Private Parts movie
This is a 1997 movie about Howard Stern, it tells the story of how he grew up, got fired from many radio stations, and tries to show how and why he became famous. The film is based on his 1993 book. The soundtrack to the film is really something …

I noticed that Wallace & Gromit had become a popular claymation phenomenon but I have only just watched them for the first time with this short ‘A Grand Day Out’. Nearly everyone else on the planet has watched this except me I guess. I am no particulara …
Epic Movie-
The movie I am about to review is called Epic Movie released in 2007.Yes,it is literally called Epic Movie!!. The reason for this strange title is that the movie is a spoof of a couple of popular and high grossing movies that came out the time of the movie.Spoofs …

In a nutshell, “The Bachelor” is all about a guy who doesn’t want to commit to marriage, which is a reality these days more than ever! The interesting aspect about this movie is that it is a cute, funny romantic comedy that can be enjoyed both by men and …
Godzilla (2014) Movie
In 1998, Sony Pictures Entertainment and TriStar Pictures released the first American-made Godzilla movie. At the time, it was a big budget movie that incorporated extravagant special effects with a well-known Hollywood actor cast as the lead. The movie, for the most part, took the monster in a drastically …

Galaxy Cinemas in Peterborough
The Galaxy Cinemas is a great place to go to for the movies. It has the best environment. When you walk in, there are arcades and gamerooms in front of you. This is always great to have when waiting for the movie. Another key feature of Galaxy, are the …
4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days (2007)
I didn’t know abortion was not allowed in communist Romania and prosecuted strongly by law. But I knew about the cooperative living in student housing, the muddy streets, the black market of foreign goods, the segregation of “educated” and “ordinary” folks, the fear to be a woman and walk …
Father of the Bride Movie
I had first watched that movie when a friend of mine was getting married; she was looking for wedding ideas, and someone had recommended the just released “Father of the Bride.” Well, as to wedding ideas, my friend did not get any: her finances were far more modest than …
Click (movie)
Devilishly funny and a new classic is the movie click. It has Adam Sandler in it and he is an awesome comedian. Click is about how this guy wants one remote to control his life and make it easier on him so he goes to a bed, bath, and …
Diary Of A Mad Black Woman movie (2005)
Diary Of A Mad Black Woman is one my favorite movies from the Director Tyler Perry. I personally consider it to be one of his classics and better written stories. Compared to some of his latest films, this one is actually gripping because the storyline is true and happens to …
Puncture (movie)
“Puncture” was a movie that I just didn’t care to see after I had read a lot of bad reviews on it. Even the trailer did little to stimulate my interest in it, even though later I came to realise that it had a very interesting plot. How I …
Hope Floats movie
When I first heard the title for this movie I thought it was going to be all about religion. That couldn’t have been further from the truth. What the movie is actually about is this.
Hope Floats stars one of my favorite actresses Sandra Bullock. She plays …
STRIPES Comedy
I have reached that age where a lot of the movies I thought were fantastic when I was younger kids today haven’t even heard of. STRIPES, a 1981 Columbia Pictures release staring Bill Murray, is one of those. If you haven’t seen it, you most definitely should.
This …
Movie: Paul Blart Mall Cop
Synopsis: An overweight mall cop needs to stop a group of criminals from robbing the mall he is sworn to protect.
What I liked about this movie: Kevin James is actually pretty funny as Blart, a mall cop who is considered a loser by everyone from the people he works …
Girl Next Door (R, 2007) movie
I watched “American Crime” a film featuring Catherine Keener as Gertrude Banieszewski. This film was based on the horribly true story of Sylvia Likens. She was a 16 year old girl who was tortured and beaten to death in the 1960s. This film is …
Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets
The second installment, like its predecessor, was done in the style of a whodunit mystery. Unlike the first one, where I felt this was done as a sense of stand alone, in case the movie flopped, this movie was done in that style because, more and more, the Harry …
Imaginary Playmate
I was waiting for my wife to get out of bed Sunday and ended up watching movies on the Lifetime Movie Network; starting with one called Imaginary Playmate.
This movie was OK but reminded me a lot of other movies I’ve seen. Basically, you have a family moving into a …
Park (R, 2006) movie
I rented this unwittingly believing that this would be a quirky and fun little film. What surprised me more than anything was the movie’s ability to bore me to pieces within the first few minutes. I should have known that if Ricki Lake was in …
Rowan Atkinson
I think Rowan Atkinson is an actor who would deny his audience nothing. Whatever the need may be even if the scene requires him to go naked (but he only would not allow himself into frontal nudity), he would do it. But despite that, his personality as …
Shrek II
Just when you thought Shrek couldn\’t get any funnier, they add Puss in Boots and mutant babies. Shrek remains as ogre-ish as ever, Fiona the classic, or not so classic, princess, and Donkey is just as hilariously annoying as in the first movie.
An invitation to the kingdom of Far …
Slumdog Millionaire
There is certainly no reason for you guys not to watch Slumdog Millionaire. It is a real good movie and I love it so much. The Directing is perfect and superb cast too. Seriously, I came to watch with my group of friends and I was very, …
All the President’s Men Movie
About the two investigating journalists who discovered the remarkable and shocking Watergate scandal in the early 1970s, something that came on the news in the whole world afterwards.

Miracle on 34th Street (TV remake)

Caddyshack 2 Movie
While I am not one of the biggest fans of golf, I love Caddyshack 2. And believe me, it’s not for the golf. It’s for the comedy. While I have seen the first Caddyshack, I saw the second movie first and I always seem to rotate back to the …

Batman Dark Knight
I’m not really a big fan of the “Batman Series” but this film “Batman Dark Knight” is one great movie, I was blown away by the actors acting abilities,the story itself and of course the director because this would also not be possible without him,(Applause)Christopher Nolan. For me this …
Wall E
I went to watch Wall E with my nephew and niece. I had read awesome reviews about it in the Paper. Therefore, I decided to take them out, as I wanted to watch it myself as well.
The movie revolves around Wall E a computer science robot that collects waste …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, movie
Like many others who watched and re-watched the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy multiple times, I had high hopes for “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.” But, after sitting through the film, I was left very disappointed.
First of all, the film was too long. Now, I understand that “The Hobbit” …
Netflix
I have been a Netflix customer for over two years now. As an avid movie junkie, I have an entire database of movies to watch at my disposal. With a variety of payment plans and delivery options, Netflix has really been amazing to me. I started out by receiving …
Tomorrow Never Dies movie
The second appearance of Pierce Brosnan made me confident the James Bond film series was never going to end. Although the creators ran out of Ian Fleming novels and made up the story on their own, it is actually rather thrilling with a lot of breathtaking action sequences and …
The Departed (2006)

Officer Billy Costigan (Leonardo DeCaprio) is a recent graduate of the Massachusetts state police academy placed deep under cover to infiltrate the mob gang of Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson).

A series of events, that have no real reason other than to lead up to what this movie is about, leave the tunnel that connects Manhattan to New Jersey in a weakened and near destroyed state. With people trapped inside the tunnel, and water is coming in tempting to …
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is, in my opinion, the best sea faring movie ever made. That is a very bold statement but that shows how much I thought of Master and Commander. I was shocked by how accurate the history was in …
Case of the Split Ticket
I am reviewing The Case of the Split Ticket, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
