Jezebel (movie)
Jezebel is a movie about a woman, Julie, and her relationships with different men. The amazing and legendary Bette Davis plays Julie, who often pretends to be coy and sweet and shy, but truly she is a selfish, terribly spoiled woman. The word jezebel often conjures up bad images …
The Net movie
From 1995, The Net is a suspenseful, very well made drama. It’s identity theft to the nth degree, and it’s scary. Sandra Bullock plays Angela Bennett. She’s somewhat of a recluse, and she’s a computer nerd/geek. She’s a master programmer and hacker, and she knows …
Casino Movie
I think Casino is one of the greatest Mob movies ever made. Joe Pesci does a great job of playing Nicky Santoro. I also think that Robert Deniro did a great job as Sam he hustler. I think the movie really tells the story of how mob bosses used …

Mikael Hafstrom`s 1408
This movie is about a man who works as an author . He has lost his daughter recently. This has significance for the whole concept of the movie;all the pieces comes together at the end. I can really say that the end is brilliant!
The main caracter is …
City Beneath the Sea movie
One of my very favorite made-for-TV movies is called City Beneath the Sea from 1971. It’s not a great movie in the scheme of Emmy winners, but it is a star-studded affair that has drama, romance, and mystery. I love it and find it to be a …
Clash of the Titans movie remake
Hollywood has done it again. They’ve taken a well-known movie and tried to update it with flashy costumes (literally in the case of Zeus) and an overabundance of CGI. Clash of the Titans is a remake of the 1981 film by the same name, although it lacks many of …
Teacher’s Pet movie
In 1958, Clark Gable and Doris Day starred in Teacher’s Pet. Now, I adore Teacher’s Pet, and Gable and Day are wonderful, together and individually. Still, it’s another time when I go, ‘Huh?’ at the casting. Gable was 20 years Day’s senior. In a way, it …
Knowing movie
I watched the movie “Knowing” online a little after it was released in theatres since at the time I had no money to see it. Sometimes when I watch movies online, the movie does not appear to be half as good as it seems when I watch it on …
The Insatiable
I actually didn’t pick out the movie “The Insatiable.” My daughter did. She didn’t watch it or anything. She was at the movie store with me and my wife told her to pick out a movie for us and it happened to be one on a shelf she could …
The movie Deadgirl
Deadgirl is a little known movie that was released in 2009. It tells a very dark and horrific story, but manages to do so without too much gore. Still, the movie would only be good for a mature audience. The plot revolves around two high school …
Drew Peterson: Untouchable, movie
I have to admit, that I don’t like a lot of Lifetime dramas since I believe that a lot of them are just plain mediocre when it comes to the acting, the plot and the overall way in which the entire thing was put together. There are even some …
Match Point (2005)
Match Point is a 2005 movie from writer and director Woody Allen. I am always more excited about a new Woody Allen film if he is in it because I love to see him delivering his own lines but someone recommended this to me and I must admit …
Rango (computer animated movie)
It took me years to watch the animated movie “Rango” even though some of my favourite actors did some of the voice acting. The main reason why it took so long too was that it seemed to have an “average” rating or “slightly above average” rating from people who watched …
Film “the horsemen” (2009)
I loved this film for several reasons. First of all when I watch a horror or suspense movie, there needs to be something scary in the first 20 minutes or it loses me. It can be psychological terror, but there needs to be something to draw …
A Soldier’s Prayer
The third and final chapter in Kobayashi’s epic films about japanese military officer Kaji. He and his fellow soldiers move into China and later Russia, at the same time as they suspects the war is over and their side has lost. They can not proceed into Russia and get …
Black Sheep 2008 Movie
I recently saw the movie Black Sheep and I don’t mean the Chris Farley and David Spade movie from the 1990s, though I’m sure someone will see this one and get confused. This movie is actually yet another horror movie spoof, though this one was better received than a …
The Ugly Duckling & Me
I watch this movie with my little boy just now. Very funny movie and entertaining but full of meanings. My boy just love it especially when the little swan name Ugly start to dance. He just can stop laughing at it.
This movie told about the story of Ratso the …
The Day The Earth Stood Still 2008
This movie was one of the best remakes to one of the best classic science fiction films of all time! The new twist on the film offers a modern day yet authentic horror to the realization of what could happen! There is lots of suspense and graphics and has …
Dracula: Dead And Loving It
This is Mel Brooks’s version of Count Dracula story, released in 1995. All I can say is funny, funny, FUNNY! Just thinking of it makes me smile. Leslie Nielsen as the imposing but a little clumsy Dracula who keeps messing things up, Peter MacNicol as an unsuspecting London solicitor …
The Fast and the Furious, Tokyo Drift
The Fast and the Furious, Tokyo Drift is the third movie of Fast and Furious. The story of this sequel is not so different from the movie before, it’s about car racing and a lot of good and modification car of course with fight and conflict between the main …
Cranberry Christmas
I’m a sap for holiday tradition, and that includes all the animated classics. This year, Ocean Spray bring us a new cartoon with a Christmas theme. Entitled “Cranberry Christmas”, the cartoon is based on a popular book of the same name. What I like about it is …
Akira (movie 1988)
Spectular…just Spectular!! The pinnacle in Anime, no other work has come close to matching the raw talent in Akira. It’s a visual masterpiece. It’s easy to see why this film is great…and seeing is believing, you must see it to believe it. I dare not tell you what the …
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. 2003 science fiction film
Here we have the second time in Godzilla movie history that a Godzilla movie was made to be a direct sequel to the previous movie made. The funny thing is that both times, Mechagodzilla was involved. At the end of the Showa Series, which lasted from the mid 1950’s …
Fred Claus the movie
We just finished watching Fred Claus. The storyline did go a lot different than I thought it would. It was entertaining and I would say, worth renting or buying the dvd. I don’t think, that if given the choice, I would go pay to see it in the theater. …
Music Within
When I bought a DVD of this movie, I thought it was some sort of a comedy film just like Music and Lyrics, to my surprise it was not really about music. Its more of a reality based movie. This movie really touched my heart while I was watching …
101 Dalmatians (1996)
A real life remake of the animated classic of the same name. Walt Disney’s 101 Dalmatians captured the hearts of many people worldwide using their animated version of the movie and they try their hand at it again with live action. Even this time around with the use of …

Lone Survivor (war movie)
Lone Survivor was one of those movies that I delayed watching for a very long time, and ended up regretting my choice because it turned out so well. I’m also happy that I didn’t allow myself to read any of the reviews online about it, since about half of them …
Sin City (2005)
Directors: Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino. Featuring: Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson,
Benicio Del Toro, Josh Hartnett, Brittany Murphy, Clive Owen, Bruce Willis and Elijah Wood.
There is no city more corrupt than Sin City ( the actual name is Basin city). In Sin City everyone must stand …
The Lorax
My daughter loves Dr. Seuss books so I recently picked her up a movie based off of one of them “The Lorax.” And, I have to say, despite the fact it was obviously filmed years ago, it was still quite a good movie.
If you haven’t seen the movie or …
84 Charing Cross Road
This gem of a movie is unfairly little known. Made in 1987, it stars Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft who tell a touching story of a 20-year-long friendship of two people who actually haven’t seen each other face to face.
Helene Hanff (Bancroft) is a struggling writer in New York …
Doghouse Movie
The undead, infected, and zombies have been in every independent horror, comedy, and even action movie as of late. If you have a laughable budget then it must be written somewhere that you have to make a movie like this. At least Doghouse takes the trendy concept and adds …
Norbit (movie)
Norbit was the most funniest movie ever. The main character Eddie Murphy who played several of the characters in the movie did an awesome job in this one. He played an orphan that was abandon by his parents at birth and was drop off at someone’s door. He was …
Black Sunday movie
Mario Bava’s breakthrough picture has an opening scene that astounded a whole generation of filmmakers. It is so filled with mood and gothic beauty, but at the same time frightening in its graphical violence. The story here is about a witch waking up from her slumber in 1700th century …
New Moon movie
While every other girl in the world was looking forward to New Moon I wasn’t sure what to expect. I found the first movie in the series Twilight entertaining but not worth all the fuss and the book was simple at best.
So I went in to see New …
A Christmas Carol movie
The movie, A Christmas Carol, rendered in full 3D at the theaters, was such a joy to watch. It kept me to the edge of my seat. Imagine even snowflakes seemingly falling right in front of you, inside the theater, down your legs, and even your seat. …
Kagaaj ke Phool
Kagaaj ke Phool (KKP) is yet another great work of Gurur Dut. It’s a kind of autobiography of Dutts life. The story is bout a successful filmmaker who sees failure in the later phase of his life, and dies in misery, all alone in a chair, with nobody …
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN DVD
I loved the movie “Brokeback Mountain” as I paid attention to the fact that it was very subtle in giving the decade that each part was to be about. In the sixties, being gay was totally taboo. Men did marry, so as not to appear gay. If the men …
“Red Eye”: The Movie Directed by Wes Craven
When I first saw “Red Eye” my junior year in college, I was enamored. The plot revolved around a woman, named Lisa Reisert, who must cooperate in an assassination to save her father. Jackson Rippner, her kidnapper, found her uncooperative. In the end, Lisa proved her strength and saved …
Air Force One movie
I am reviewing the movie, Air Force One, starring Harrison Ford. Air Force one is, of course, the plane that the president uses to fly to places. Harrison Ford plays the President of the United States in this movie. The subject of terrorists is evident in his …
Duplex - (starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore)
Duplex is total hilarious! I watch this movie and I just feel that movies like this really crack me up; in a funny and sort of fun way. How would you feel when you move into a particular Duplex and you find an elderly woman whom is so …
Ocean’s 13
Far better than Oceans 12, Oceans 13 is a fun movie. This movie is as filled with celebrity as all of the other two Oceans movies. Full of double and triple crosses, this is as much a move about conmen as robbery.
The problem that I have had with every …
A.M.C. Theatres
A.M.C. is a theatre in Ontario - but it is not as famous as ‘famous players theatre’ because it is relatively new. If you go on weekdays, it is practically deserted. A lot of people even sneak in because they barely have any security on weekdays so I think …
The Princess Bride
To blave, that’s what this story is about. And if you find that inconceivable, try to stomach the kissing scenes and see where that gets you.
Seriously, this fairy tale is so full of enjoyable characters that the movie could have gone on for quite some time and I would …
The Prestige
The story takes place in the last century London. Two talented stage magicians, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) become rivals, competitors, and eventually enemies. It all starts with Angier’s wife dying onstage when a dangerous magic trick goes wrong. Angier blames Borden for it. From …
The Princess Diaries Movie
I am not really a fan of “chick-flicks”, but, this movie is entertaining and likable. A teenager finds out that she is the heir to the throne of a non so known country. She embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to embrace her new found kingdom. …
