The Last Samurai film
“Nations like men sometimes have their own destiny”. Each tradition owns a unique beauty and in Edward Zwick’s best epic film the main emotional strings sing under the aerie tranquility of the spirit of Japan.
Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) is hired to take out the forces of …

The Social Network: Movie
The Social Network was, for me, one of the best if not the best film of 2010 —“ and one of my all-time favourites.
I wasn’t too sure about the storyline but after recommendations I’m glad I gave it a chance, the plot is a very interesting and I wasn’t …
Trois 2: Pandora’s Box
Trois 2: Pandora’s Box (2002) was tragic; not in the sense that it was a tragedy, but that it was a TERRIBLE movie. It was one of the movies that is almost painful to watch. I found myself just shaking my head throughout the movie; that …
Corpse Bride movie
I think Corpse Bride was a great film. It was very dark and had lots of feeling in it. And it was a tale told in the classic Tim Burton style. I really liked the story and thought it was both very dark, yet very romantic. I really loved the …
Hi Diddle Diddle movie
Some of these earlier movie musicals are so hard to describe simply because the plot can get a little offbeat and quirky. Of course, the same thing happens from time to time today, too, but some early films just didn’t have that much to them. Let’s take …
Ghostrider
I watched “Ghostrider” with my nephew this afternoon. I had really hoped it would live up to the hype, unfortunately I didn’t think it did.
In the first place I don’t think Nicholas Cage fit the part very well, or at least his voice didn’t and I felt he …

Love and Other Disasters
Brittany Murphy is cute, very cute, and from what I can see that is one of the driving forces of Love and Other Disasters.
This movie is a romantic comedy which appears to desperately want to be different yet is stuck with every cliche you can think of, from the …
Moulin Rouge (2001 Movie)
Moulin Rouge by director Baz Luhrman is a movie built around its soundtrack…or at least, that’s how it feels to me. Each scene seems designed so that it can be summed up with a song. Fortunately the soundtrack is actually pretty good - many of the songs are great, …
Bad News Bears (2005 movie)
Remake of a classic…this movie lives up to the reputation that The Bad News Bears have been known for. It does not disappoint the original stories that it’s being based on. But it’s time for a reality check…this movie was never a good one to start off with. It …

Avatar, movie (2009)
Like nearly everyone else at the time Avatar came out, I entered the theater with high expectations that were blown up by well-done trailers and shining reviews. The artistry within the CGI seemed so phenomenal, and the teases for the story seemed interesting. So perhaps my disappointment with …

Babel (R, 2006) movie
It took me a while to actually rent this movie. I knew that anything starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett would be really interesting. This movie did not disappoint. Following a couple who’s vacationing in and through Morocco, the audience gets to witness the aftermath occurring …

Kill Bill 2
My mind flies to the time I had seen Kill Bill 1, on the very first night it had been given to the crowd. I, as everybody else who rispected Q. Tarantino, waited for another grand work on the big screen.
I still remember the crowd’s reactions that night.
Now, after …

Hairspray (2007)
This movie is absolutely amazing.
Firstly, the casting of the characters was simply perfect. There’s no denying the newly-discovered Nikki Blonsky IS Tracy Turnblad. She can act, and she can sing (BOYYY, can she sing!). John Travolta is hilarious as Edna Turnblad, and he can really move in that fat …
Miss Conception
I had never heard of the movie Miss Conception until I came acrossed it on Netflix the other day. And, to be honest, when I decided to get it, I didn’t have any idea what it was I was getting.

Film Up
This is an animated movie by Disney/Pixar. It is 90 minutes long. It is rated PG.
I have to say it is the most wonderful cartoon movie I’ve seen in a very long time. It is about an old man who decides that it is never too late to pursue …
The Far Pavilions,1984 movie
The Far Pavilions, 1984, mini-series, is based on the novel by M.M. Kaye. I have one complaint about the movie: several scenes are done in the dark, leaving you to guess what is taking place. Other than that, the movie is good. The story is about Ashton Pelham-Martyn, or …
Movie Ever After
At first, i was hesitant to watch this kind of movie. I was thinking that it was just an ordinary cinderella story that i had known since i was a kid. Until one day, my siblings are watching “Ever After” and i have no choice but to …
Hairspray movie
I am very surprised at how much I liked this movie with it being a musical. I don’t know if its because they had such good actors and actresses in the movie or what. I really enjoyed watching it and I usually don’t like musicals. I enjoyed watching this …
A Cinderella Story Movie
When I found out that there will be a Cinderella Story, I wonder if it will be the same as Ever After, the movie of Drew Barrymore, but it was way different. Being Hillary Duff as the lead, Sam Montgomery , a youthful version of Cinderella came out.
It was …

Carnage (2011 drama movie)
I only became familiar with the movie Carnage when I saw it being aired on Starz Cinema some time last year. I was looking for something interesting and unique to watch, and it was the plot that drew me to it. While watching the movie I realized that it was …
Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age
Last evening I watched the movie Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age.
I usually as a rule like period piece movies. However, I thought even though Cate Blanchett did a good job of acting the part of
Elizabeth the 1st and the costumes were extravagant, the movie was merely mediocre. Some …
Gidget movie
Gidget is one of my all-time favorite movies. It’s a beach movie, a light comedy about growing up and falling in love. It’s simple, and that’s why it works. The acting is good, and it’s just an upbeat, let’s have a good time watching it movie.
Sandra …
Evidence of Blood movie
Evidence of Blood came out in 1998 and like the true, old south, it moves slowly. No, it doesn’t move, it crawls. Everything is told in a deliberate, snail-like drawl that is agonizingly slow. I’m all for murder mysteries, but I need something to keep me …
The Pink Panther movie

Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing

Only Fools & Horses —“ S7, Ep1 - The Sky’s The Limit
I love Only Fools & Horses and I was so glad when a seventh series was broadcast in 1991. As long as John Sullivan can keep writing brilliant comedy I see no reason to say goodbye to the Trotter brothers. —˜The Sky’s The Limit’ is the first …

Dawn of the Dead
What many people do not understand is that there are two versions of “Dawn of the Dead”. There is the one from 2004 which I have based my review on, and then, there is the one from 1978 which I have not watched. Dawn of the dead (2004) …
