Cadillac Records (R, 2008)
After hearing the hype about Beyonce being in this movie, I can’t say that I was itching to go see it. With all due respect to Beyonce, her acting abilities have left a little to be desired. In any event, I was surprised to realize that …
Watchmen the movie
I recently went to see The Watchmen movie. I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Mind you, I had never read the comic book. The only thing I did before I went to see the movies was I looked up the storyline on Wikipedia and talked …
Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist
What I liked most about Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist is one of the scenes at the end. Barbara Barrie appears again as Joy’s mother. The two don’t get along very well, but yet at the end, they share a calm moment. The really good …

Hoodwinked Anne Hathaway & Glenn Close
Who ever thought the story of “Little Red Riding Hood” could ever be so complexed. This movie was so intensely funny. Just when you thought you had it figured it out, it took another turn. I enjoyed it so much and laughed constantly. I like a complex story. I …
My Bill movie
Talk about overdone, that’s exactly what the film My Bill is. It’s a 1938 motion picture that actually did pretty well. Oddly, it’s a little disturbing to me.

A Series of Unfortunate Events the Movie
I have read the entire series of the Series of Unfortunate Events books, and have a strange love for them. They are filled with misfortune and woe, but at the same time a mystery, suspense, and little joys and happiness that make it absolutely fantastic. The movie was—¦well—¦a disaster. …

Movie Ishtar
When this thing came out in the late 1980’s, it was slammed so roundly by a mass group of film critics that I didn’t even bother to go see it. I did, however, decide to “treat” myself to a cable television presentation of it not long ago …
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 …
Sunshine Cleaning
I love the movie poster of Sunshine Cleaning. It is I believe the pictures of Emily Blunt and Amy Adams, with their cleaning utensils. Watched this with my girl mates and 5 of us went. 3 of us decided that the movie was quite a boring watch …

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth is probably one of the biggest documentaries around these days. Certainly it fulfilled its mission of making people start talking an awful lot about global warming. Of course, the question is, just how true is it all.
Mr. Gore has a lot of problems in …
Youngblood movie
Let me make it clear right up front. I do not like hockey. Why? Well, when I was a child, my uncle took me to a hockey game, and I couldn’t follow the dang puck! I had no clue where it was and just couldn’t follow the …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Film (2009)
I grew up reading Harry Potter books in my formative years back in the 90’s. The time when the whole Harry Potter franchise was less frenzied and the books were just lurking somewhere to be discovered. My devotion to the books reached a fanatical stage that I …
Made of Honor, romantic comedy film
When was the last time you wanted to watch a movie about a man and woman that love each other and they don’t know it? Most likely you have seen movies like this before and Made of Honor doesn’t hide the fact that certain sequences are identical. Even with …
Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is one of the best Batman movies I have ever watched. I thought the actor Christian Bale really did hid character justice and was just the right amount of “dark” for the superhero. I thought it was a big change from the movies “Batman and Robin” and …
Miracle on 34th Street movie
The classic and wonderful Miracle on 34th Street is a delight for all time. I don’t think any holiday movie about Santa Claus will ever be able to surpass it. It’s family entertainment at its best, with quality performances across the board. Little Natalie Wood is …
Empire Theatre New Minas, NS
We are often at this theatre, as we try to go for a movie night out together once a week. It is a very nice theatre and the location is great, in the heart of New Minas, on the main road, close to shopping and restaurants, and a nice …
Big Fish (movie)

Trapped movie
I still think that the movie “Trapped” might have been the best movie I have seen the actor Stewart Townsed star in for quite some time. I personally like the movie not only because the actor Stewart Townsend was in it but because I thought the movie kept me on …

The Greatest Show on Earth movie
This is the everyday life among some individuals in a circus companionship. The basic idea is the same as Fellini’s La Strada or Bergman’s Sawdust & Tinsel. The Greatest Show on Earth was directed by the legendary silent filmmaker Cecil B. Demille (during his sound period however) and is …
Chalk
I am reviewing the movie, Chalk. This is a mockumentary about teachers. This movie follows around a history teacher, a PE teacher, and a group of others. It focuses on the challenges of the classroom, dealing with disipline and kids. Issues about classroom behavior, ethics, testing, …
Zoolander (R, 2001)
When I first saw this movie I thought it was really going to be stupid. And I was right. But with actors like Will Ferrell and Owen Wilson aboard for the laughs, you can expect all the lame jokes to be illustrated in full effect. …
Dead Mans Shoes (2004)
I was just about to go to bed when I thought I would watch the first ten minutes of ‘Dead Man’s Shoes’ to see what it was like. I thought it was probably just a silly, violent action film or something but I spent the rest of the …

Cocoon
I don’t know why I like this 1985 movie so much. I can still remember watching it for the first time when it had come out; it is a comedy that involves some aliens, and compared with today’s technology, I guess you might say it is nothing special. Most …
“127 hours” movie
Nowadays, at a time when directors molest us with technical fireworks, and writers write such spins that are so twisted that in the head turns, the movie “127 hours” is a gem. History of simple, painful and true like a biblical parable. Danny Boyle once again showed class.
What does this …
Dogtooth (2009 film)
“Dogtooth” is a masterpiece of the weird. This Greek art house film, a winner at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009, simply kept me glued to the screen for about one hour and a half and left me with a million questions.
I found the atmosphere of the film …
The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005 movie)
Just by the title’s name you can already summize what the movie is about, so I need not get into the dirty details of this movie, and believe me, it is dirty. This is one of the movies that give men a bad name, but other than that, it …

Ice Age movie
It is a movie that shows a brilliant work of animation combined with fantabulous story line. I love this film and have seen it a number of times. But every time I liked it equally well. The prehistoric creatures have been shown to come so alive on screen that …
The Ocean’s Trilogy, 3 caper comedies films by Steven Soderbergh
There seems to be a trend happening in Hi-Def releases. I guess it’s more to entice people to buy movies they already own, but I’ve noticed that studios are releasing Trilogies bundled with very little added special content. Yeah, I guess they’ve been doing this with plain old DVD. …
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 …
