Good Boy movie
My sister loves to watch this movie. She watches it a lot, almost every day. I kind of get sick of watching it to tell you the truth. I think it is more of a kid’s movie than for anyone. I think that it is kind of childish.
It’s …
“When in Rome” (2010 Film)
“When in Rome” the 2010 film starring Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel, seemed like it would be a really fun romantic comedy to watch. But let me just say now that I was not very impressed with this film. It was funny, but I think that was more because …

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
Me and my eleven year old daughter watched this film together recently on DVD. My daughter had already read all the books in the series and had mixed feelings about the film. It’s always the same though, I told her, when you’ve read a book and loved it then …

The Conjuring (movie 2013)

The Conjuring is another one of those movies that is based on true …
Zombiethon [VHS], Horror movie
Going old school with this review and I mean old school. Zombiethon is a VHS that features clips from 7 zombie movies. No, that wasn’t a typo from me; Zombiethon is just a collection of other movies. Why would something like even be created? Maybe the same reason why …

Half a dozen babies
This was an alright movie overall. I found it to be a little funny if anything. I didn’t really care for it all that much. It’s kind of a chick movie. It’s about this couple that want to have babies and they can’t seem to get pregnant, well they …
Kingdom of Heaven movie
“Kingdom of Heaven” was the second film, a part from the lord of the rings trilogy in which I can remember watching the actor Orlando Bloom in the year 2005. At the time that the movie was released, I didn’t go to see it in theatres because I was …
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (movie)
I am not, and have never been a fan of the Stephenie Meyer series, especially since I consider myself as a fan of the classic vampire folklore. However, I was forced to see it when it was still showing in theatres since nothing else I was even a quarter …
The Librarian: Return to King Solomon’s Mines
I liked the first Librarian movie “Quest for the Spear” so I figured I would give the sequel “Return to King Solomon’s Mines” a try.
It turned out to be an OK movie but it wasn’t as good as the original.
You have the same guy playing the Librarian. Only this …

Springtime in the Rockies movie
Springtime in the Rockies from 1937 is a movie I have heard about for a very long time, but believe it or not, even with its marvelous song, I have never seen it, until now.
The song that is sung at the beginning is awesome. I love the harmony …
Twilight movie
When I saw the trailer of Twilight, they said this is the next big hit after Harry Potter. I was curious knowing that Harry Potter’s success worldwide was phenomenal. A few days ago, I finally saw the movie and I can say that it has potential.
The storyline was …
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 …

Stardust is a fantacy movie which was released last year. This frictional movie had got praised by several critics and I saw it last sunday on HBO. The story is based on a guy who lives in a traditional old village in which nobody can cross village’s border and …
The Changeling movie
“The Changeling,” starring the brilliant George C. Scott, is a ghost story filmed in the 1980s, and the scariest one despite its age. Unlike many contemporary horror movies that rely on blood and gore, “The Changeling” uses more subtle ways, which work much better. The creators of this movie …
Lucky You movie
“Lucky You” is a great movie about poker. I feel that, although this is a good film, it may lack appreciation from the general public due to the fact that it is too focused on poker and how a poker player can be so insensitive to the environment and …

Wedding Crashers Movie
I recently watched the movie The Wedding Crashers with Vince Vaughan, Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams. It was a hilariouss storyline with parts that everyone can relate to but still with a few bizarre twists.
Two men are marriage counsellors or divorce lawyers or something along those lines. They are …
Night At the Museum
I don’t watch many movies; usually when I watch a movie more than once it ends up being a favorite that I want to own. Night At the Museum is a perfect example. This is by far one of the funniest, cutest movies I’ve seen; there’s nothing questionable, it’s …
Twilight: Eclipse
Disclaimer: I am neither a fan, nor a hater of the Twilight franchise. While I didn’t read the books, I saw both previous movies, and on the whole found them to be a light, undemanding (if sometimes cracktastic) entertainment.
I went to see Twilight: Eclipse with no particular expectations, and …
Open Season
When I finally got around to watching the movie Open Season this past weekend, I figured it would be a lot like the other animated movies I’ve watched recently. I was right. But, it was still entertaining.

Forbidden Zone, movie (1982)
We each have our favorite cult classic. But, there is one for me that stands as the best one. Nothing for me can match its style or zaniness, be it Buckaroo Banzai or Toxic Avenger. The blending of 80’s new wave with the vintage styles of …
The Break-Up Movie Rental
The Break-Up should’ve broken up before ever hitting the movies. After renting this movie, I really wanted to ask for my money back. It was not at all like anything that I expected. The ending was absolutely horrible. When I read the cover before renting …
Movie: The Comebacks
I got a longer lunch today than normal (to avoid working overtime) and ended up being able to watch a movie on TV. I came across the film the Comebacks, which I had seen before but, since I couldn’t remember much about it, couldn’t remember if I liked it …

Ratatouille
I hate rats so I wasn’t so keen on watching the animated movie Ratatouille. But constant prodding by my bestfriend to see the movie made me give in. Plus the fact that alot of people say it’s a nice movie. Indeed it is. From Pixar Animation Studios and Walt …

Traffickers, Movie
Korean thrillers rarely pull their punches, which can often make them deeply affecting - especially when they centre around some really dark subjects. Unlike popular Chinese and Japanese cinema exports there is typically much more favour for realism in Korean films, that only makes them more shocking.
Traffickers is concerned …
