Captain America: The Winter Soldier , movie by the Rosso brothers
1st and foremost, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is the best action film out of the whole Marvel movie universe so far, with no exceptions. Just in terms of sheer impact, choreography, execution, clarity of geography and did I mention impact? Because WOW was this film good!. If that …
Claymore Episode 2 (Anime)
Claymore Episode 2 has Raki and Clare searching for something that is not a Claymore and Raki is worried about Clare.
This was an interesting episode because it revealed more about the mysterious Claymores and how they are created and why they are all female. I …
Howl’s Moving Castle
“Howl’s Moving Castle” did not take a step forward for Studio Ghibli. The Japanese animation studio is renowned for excellent story
telling, and stunning animation, but this latest film is not quite an advancement. Past films like “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Ponpoko,” “Kiki’s
Delvery service” and “Spirited Away,” each brought more creative …
Michael Jackson’s This is It movie 2009
I didn’t know what to expect from this film before I saw it. I knew it was a collection of footage from the show that sadly, never made it to the stage. It is a shame. It would have been so spectacular. The amount of work and devotion that …
Men in Black 3 (movie)
One of the movies that I watched this summer was “Men in Black 3”, starring the first movie’s original actors, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. I have to admit that before I saw it, I was somewhat eager to watch the movie being that the plot sounded very …
The 12 Men of Christmas movie
Kristin Chenowith stars in this 2009 holiday movie, The 12 Men of Christmas. Chenowith is a refreshing actress. She’s very petite with a petite, off-beat sounding voice. She’s a perky blonde who can both act and sing. When I heard about this new seasonal flick, …
I Spy (starring Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy)
Whenever there is a movie starring Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson, it’s best to watch. A couple of weeks back, I remember renting I Spy and it’s such a truly entertaining movie altogether and not to mention I have a few quick laughs as well as long ones. …
FUN WITH DICK AND JANE MOVIE
That movie was hilarious. It is basically about a guy that finds himself without a job and can’t seem to find any other job because of the way he left hs last job. Desperate times call for desperate measures. They decide to do the unthinkable for …
Great Mouse Detective
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective. I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, and so I emensely enjoyed this movie. If you’re a Sherlock fan, you have to check this cute film out. Once again, Disney focuses its main characters on mice. A …
Film: American Gangster
American Gangster…..a good movie. Unfortunatley thats all it is, and all it ever will be. In the Pantheon of Great Gangster Films, this should have been its most recent entry. Instead it falls into the Pantheon of Films that Need A Little More Work. I was so let down …

The Dead Zone (1983) movie
The Dead Zone is an old movie from 1983 but I have only just seen it and it was better than I expected. Although I loved reading Stephen King novels when I was younger they unfortunately do not often translate very well into celluloid, but The Dead Zone …
Hellboy Movie

It’s an entertaining film, and Ron Perlman …
Horton Hears a Who
Ok, after seeing other Dr. Seuss books turned into movies with mixed results, I had my doubts about Horton Hears a Who. But, after watching it last night, I have to say I was very impressed.
I had expected the movie, which is about an elephant who discovers and protects …
Blazing Saddles
Let’s face it. So much of Blazing Saddles is so politically incorrect that you’d need several fingers and toes to count the instances. But I don’t think it is a matter of contention with this film. If you take a step back, I think you’ll find Mel Brooks’ intentions …
The Bourne Legacy movie
My husband and I finally watched “The Bourne Legacy” last night. I was so excited to watch this movie, as I am huge fan of the other “Bourne” movies. I am also a fan of Jeremy Renner and Edward Norton, so I had high hopes as we sat …
The Nightmare Before Christmas
I was really disappointed watching this movie and I can say it was a waste of time for me. I thought that it was a nice movie since I saw a lot of collectible items for this movie. I thought that it has the same theme as that of …
Are You Here (2013 Film)
Are You Here, is a comedy movie I had the opportunity to view one evening. I hadn’t heard much about the film, until browsing the internet movie data base. I was curious about the movie after viewing the cast list of actors who started in the movie. Normally, I …
Grease
I have seen the movie Grease probably about 50 times since I was a kid. And, even though I have seen it that many times, I can’t help but take the time to watch at least part of it whenever I come across it on television.
I’m not sure what …
Alien 2 Aliens Special Edition 1986 BluRay Movie
When I got Alien 1 on Blu-Ray, I continued my collection with Aliens 1986 Special Edition. I loved the original movie and when my fears were quieted about the Alien films being changed with the Special Editions or Director’s Cuts, I was looking forward to seeing what was added …
Storm of the Century (horror movie)
Although it is a bit long, without any doubt, this is absolutely one of my favourite horror movies by Stephen King. With seemingly little effort, he manages to convey suspense from one end of this outstanding movie right through to the other as our imaginations run the gamut.
The …
Dragonball Evolution (The Movie)
Since 1980’s, I’ve always watched Japanese anime. Most of Japanese animes are really good. That’s my personal opinion though. One of the animated films that I always love watching is the Dragonball Z series. Sometime in the 90’s, there was an animated movie on this. But just this year, …

Machete (2010 film)
I want to preface this review by saying that this is one of my favorite movies because it embraces what it is. It is an action movie that focuses primarily on the action. This is the type of movie that you watch solely for entertainment value. It is not …
Harriet the Spy
“Harriet the Spy” was one of my favourite children’s movies when I was younger. Just recently in fact, I found out that it was the same actress who starred in the movies “Ice Princess” and “Eurotrip” who played the role of Harriet in the movie.
The movie is a …
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 …
Pride and Prejudice movie
Just yesterday I watched the new “Pride and Prejudice” on the CD, the movie didn’t live up to my expectations it was not all that good. The book gives sharp description of each character. Elizabeth is described as a beautiful intelligent girl but kiera knightly looked more like Joe …

Them (R, 2007) movie
Here is yet another movie that made me angry. I was angry because the trailer made me think it was really going to be good. This story basically revolves around a couple that is being chased by several unidentified hooded individuals. They are chased …
Turbulence movie
I completely forgot about the movie “Turbulence” until very recently when I saw it being broadcast on a cable televison channel again. Since the name sounded familiar I decided to even watch half of it in order to refresh my memory on the movie. The result was that I …
Movie We own the night
“We own the night” is simply great film with all the right things to become a sensation. This film was directed by James Gray who was also the director of the “The yards”.

The Marine (PG-13, 2006) movie
If you really really want to see a bad film, look no further than “The Marine” a serious B-movie starring WWE wrestler John Cena. As if having a wrestler headline the film isn’t enough of an indication of this movie’s suckiness they had the nerve to include …
Closer (2004)
With an all star cast featuring the talents of Julia Roberts(Anna), Clive Owen(Larry), Jude Law(Dan) and Natalie Portman(Alice) as the main characters. This movie focuses on the relationships of these four individuals, the ups, the downs and everything in between.

A Monkey’s Tale Movie
Friday night was our family movie night and, as we normally do, I made sure we had an animated film lined up. This time around, however, I gave my daughter a choice between The Iron Giant (a movie I have yet to watch) and a newer film called A …
Interstellar (science fiction drama movie)
Initially I was torn between wanting to watch Interstellar and actually watching it, because I’d read a lot of bad reviews about it on the internet. Some reviewers including one of my good friends who has a similar taste as mine in movies, claimed it was terrible, hyped up and …

Junebug (R, 2005) movie
Junebug is the kind of film that I really wanted to like. Centering around the son from a middle class family and his wife, this story unfolds easily and doesn’t really require much thought. I was actually disappointed with how dull this movie was. …
Priceless
Remember the actress Audrey Tautou..? Well, if you want to refresh your memory, do watch Priceless for a good night-in of DVD rounds. I watched this just yesterday and this is what I have to say: definitely a movie that is super worth it for the die-hard romantics …

Australia (2008, Baz Luhrmann) movie
Not nearly as bad as it looks from the trailers.
I avoided watching this for ages because the trailers made it look awful - cheesy, bloated, frankly as interesting and featureful as the Outback. It had one of those trailers which seems to give away the plot of the entire …
Shelter Movie (2010)
Shelter is a movie that could have been so much more. It had all the right ingredients: a great actress in the lead- Julianne Moore, a thrilling concept and some well researched information about actual rites and traditions. But the way all of it was put together, just did …
