Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
With hollywood turning every comic book into a movie that they can find, quality has some how taken a back seat. I’m not sure why these hollywood mega moguls would sacrifice putting out a good movie. It’s not like they need the money afterall. But nonetheless, quality is put …
Girl, Positive movie
I watched this movie a while ago on lifetime movie network. I thought it was pretty good overall. It has Jennie Garth, and Andrea Brown. All of the actors were good. It’s about a high school student that finds she has tested positive for a HIV test. I …

Movie: Haunting of Winchester House
I wanted something to watch late last night that was interesting but didn’t have a plot that was overly complicated. So, I fell back onto my usual horror genre and picked out one that seemed interesting; Haunting of Winchester House.
I actually was familiar with the Winchester House legend (thank …
Kalifornia, movie (1993)
One movie that did not get the due attention it rightfully deserved was Kalifornia. Yes, it is spelled with the letter “K”. Kalifornia will always have a spot in my must see section of my movies in my home because it was a dynamic thrill ride from start to …

Rope (1948) Movie
I had heard that Alfred Hitchcock’s —˜Rope’ was not one of his best and it is sometimes even said that it is not very good. I gave it a go though as it was on TV recently and I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. I think Hitchcock is …
50 First Dates
I think this is one of the sweetest romantic comedies out there. I love Adam Sandler in this movie and have thought it was a classic movie since it came out. I tend to watch it every time I find it on the TV. I have it either on …

Ted 2 - Comedy Movie (2015)
Anyone who’s seen Ted (2012), knows how hilarious a vulgar, talking teddy bear can be. Ted 2 delivers on the expectations set by Ted, but with less of a story and more focus on humour.
Ted 2 continues the story of a talking teddy bear, Ted and his best friend, John …
Twins movie
When it comes to action movies, there are none better than Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, when it comes to comedies, there are few worse.
The movie Twins is probably Schwarzenegger’s best attempt and, while there are some funny scenes, it really isn’t all that great.
He and Danny Devito play twin brothers …
Hard Candy movie
There are few movies which can frazzle me. I typically can shrug off any gore or suspense thrown my way. I’m not easily affected. However, every so often, a movie comes along that picks me up, slaps me in the face, twirls me around and then …
Madea Goes to Jail (2009)
If you have seen ‘Diary of a Mad Black Woman’, ‘Why Did I get Married’ and ‘Madea’s Family Reunion’ then you are full aware of the character known as Madea played by Tyler Perry. In this movie, she shares the stage with a troubled female. Let us focus on …
Tattoed Life movie
This is one of Suzuki’s films that is most unlike the major part of his work. The narrative is of the same style as his other films, but here I think he goes much deeper into the personalities of his characters and gives a more moving portrait of human …
K-9 (1989)
Similar to that of the movie Turner and Hooch, pairs the human element and the animal element into a movie to try to get a favorable response by the animal lover in most people. I have noticed that everything has its time in the spotlight and every genre is …

Drive Me Crazy
I see a lot of similarity between the actresses, Melissa Joan Hart and Alicia Silverstone. They both got famous due to teen related material and they cannot seem to go beyond that. Alicia Silverstone stuck in the “Clueless” and “Excess Baggage” phase, while Melissa Joan Hart got stuck in …
Wyatt Earp movie
When it comes to Westerns, this movie has to be one of the best ones to ever be released.
Kevin Costner does a great job portraying the legendary marshall as the movie tells the story about him moving to Tombstone. Dennis Quaid also put in a great performance as Earp’s …

Stalker movie
Tarkovsky’s great masterpiece about three men going on a journey through “the zone”, which is a restricted area where the deepest wish of every man becomes reality.
Tarkovsky’s imagery is completely breathtaking and holds no resemblance to anything else. He’s totally unique in his artistry and is perhaps the closest …
Stargate SG-1 Thor’s Hammer
“Thor’s Hammer” is a wonderful entry in the Stargate SG-1 franchise. It’s one I always enjoy watching and that I do watch frequently.
Our heroes are divided up in this show. Upon arriving on a planet known as Cimmeria, Jack and Teal’c are transported to a dingy underground …
The Movie Avatar by James Cameron
I am a huge movie fan and I can say without a doubt that James Cameron’s Avatar will go down in history as one of the best movies ever made. Not since I have seen Star Wars over two decades ago have I felt such excitement about a movie. …
Kill Your Darlings (2013 Biographical Drama Movie)
It seems I waited an age to watch the movie Kill Your Darlings. I ignored it a bunch of times while it was being aired on cable television channels because I always had this notion that it wouldn’t be very interesting. It was only after watching it last night, that …
Jackass Number Two (2006)
Similar to the first movie, this second installation into the Jackass franchise is just a bunch of segments put together to give us a feature length movie that has no plot direction of any kind. If you are familiar with the TV series and the first movie, you are …
27 dresses
This was a ok movie but I think that they could have made it a lot better. It wasn’t all that funny and it was also boring throughout the movie. There were only a couple of parts that I thought were funny and most of those parts were shown …
Feature Film “The Reaping”
I first saw this film when it came on tv. The subject seemed interesting and although I am not a Hillary Swank fan in any way I decided to give it a try because the plot sounded really different. Hillary plays a woman who was once a …

Prince of Persia (2010)
I just saw this movie on its opening night, and it entertained me, but didn’t thrill me.
While I liked Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for most of its action and storyline, I wonder if something wasn’t missing here. There was a lot of good acting, and certainly …
Johnny English - Film 2008
Not being a fan of either Rowan Atkinson (who plays Johnny English) nor a fan of James Bond, it often surprises me that this DVD version of the film is in my collection at all. Every so often when the mood is right it is taken out and …
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.

Happy Feet
I feel like a child again, caught in a world of fantasy and make-belief; and everything will turn out all right if I behave myself and try harder.
The starting music sets the pace it is catchy and rocking. I feel affection and compassion for Mumble, the …
Finding Nemo
What a scary thought. Lost your wife, then lose your only child, right before your eyes. If this wasn’t an animated feature, that would be a shocking premise, not a heartwarming one.
But I think this film’s subject matter was handled in a toned-down way, balanced between the search for …

Seventh Son, Movie
Boasting an impressive cast, and based on the book, A Spook’s Apprentice by Joseph Delaney, there were high hopes amongst many for this film. Early trailers showed some promise, but the delays in production, followed by a weak showing at the box office, hint at the real quality, or lack …
House Of Wax Movie
The movie House of Wax was kind of disappointing, especially considering all the hype around it just because Paris Hilton was in it. It was really disappointing, as it almost kind of made you hope she could do something besides….well we all heard about the videos. Elisha Cuthbert and …

Son of Rambow
This was a fun, entertaining comedy to watch and one I really enjoyed. I had never heard of it before when I found it on my library’s movie shelf, but it looked interesting so I checked it out. I’m glad I did, as it really is a gem.
Basically …
Pretty Woman
My all time favourite film is Pretty Woman and I love to watch it over and over again. It was released back in 1990 and it is still as good today in my opinion as it was when it was first released. The film was directed by Garry …

The Great Waldo Pepper movie
George Roy Hill works well with Robert Redford, including in this 1975 production, The Great Waldo Pepper. This movie is a little strange and sort of warpy. I really don’t know how to describe it. It’s dramatic and fun, but it’s not mainstream in many ways. …
Happy Feet Movie
I was babysitting my niece and nephew and they wanted to watch the movie. When I popped the DVD in, I was prepared to get bored. I thought what could they possibly cook up with penguins as characters? But then my interest got stirred up by the opening number. …
Disney movie: Planes
I went to watch this movie with a 5 year old boy who absolutely LOVES Cars, Disney’s previous movie set in the same universe where humans and animals don’t exist, and are actually replaced by cars, trucks and planes.
First of all I have to say the animation was flawless, …
Girl Positive (movie)
As I mentioned previously I love watching some Lifetime movies even though a lot of them aren’t necessarily up to par when it comes to acting, writing and directing. Even the storylines at time don’t even add up. However, when I watched the movie “Girl, Positive”, it was definitely …
Blue Hawaii movie
Blue Hawaii is one of my favorite Elvis Presley movies. Part of it is because of the beautiful scenery, part is due to the musical score, part is due to a decent plot, and part is due to Elvis himself.
I’ve been to Hawaii and to the hotel where …
