Alfred Hitchcock’s —˜Rope’ is usually hailed as a classic among his work, getting on top ten lists and people still being talked about today. Sadly all that seems to be discussed is his famous use of the ten minute take, and the gay subtexts the film exhibits in relation …

Dream Girls
Maybe it’s because I’m watching it on cable before 8 in the morning, but the movie Dream Girls just isn’t as good as I expected it to be.
I would think a movie about a 60s female singing group would make a great musical to watch. But, for the most …

Movie Shrek 3
I loved the first movie of Shrek, and my family and I watched over and over again. Too funny! WE also saw Shrek 2 and I thought that the movie was good, which is pretty crazy for a second. Usually second movies are not worth the money that you …

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 …
Hide and Seek
Last night I saw Hide and Seek in television, it’s a drama thriller movie starred by my favorite actor, Robert de Niro and Dakota Fanning. It full of intends from beginning until the end movie.
The story is about psycho daddy starred by Robert de Niro and his daughter Emily …
Netflix Service
I honestly do not know how we functioned before Netflix came along. What now seems to be a fact of life in many American homes, used to once be a luxury that people got if they were well off and far too lazy to make their way to the …
Shakespeare in love
Shakespeare in love is a movie which is really well made and which is worth watching. It is a nice drama with Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow as the leading actors. It is the story of the world’s best master storyteller William Shakespeare. Shakespeare does stage in a town …
Heartbreakers movie
Another movie my wife and I ended up watching last night was the film “Heartbreakers”. I liked this movie when it first came out but have to admit it loses some of its charm the second time you see it.
Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt play a mother/daughter pair …
Something’s Gotta Give movie
Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton shine in Something’s Gotta Give. Something’s Gotta Give is a movie about a woman who is middle aged and she really doesn’t have much of a life besides her work. Her name is Erica and Diane Keaton plays her character. Harry, played by Jack …
Movie Music and Lyrics
“Music and Lyrics” is not the best movie for Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore; however it is not a movie that you must ignore. The best aspect of this movie is the music. I keep remembering and singing the songs for hours after watching.
The story of this movie is …
Film Halloween
The last time I saw the 1978 version of Halloween, I was a pre-teen and, to be perfectly honest, couldn’t remember much about the movie.
It was on one of our movie channels last night so I decided to watch it with my wife while we were waiting for Project …
Movie The good night
I must admit that I was confused about the introduction of the film “The Good Night”. To be honest, I thought I had put the wrong DVD in my DVD player and had to check it out. I confirm that “The Good Night” directed by Jack Parlow, brother of …
Babys Day Out (movie)
One of the movies that I can remember watching in the nineties when I was still a child was “Baby’s Day Out”. I remember that after I had seen it in theatres back then, I found it so interesting that I was talking about it for a very long …
Win a Date With Tad Hamilton Movie
Rosalee (Kate Bosworth) is a supermarket cashier and a big fan of Tad Hamilton, a movie star. Tad (Josh Duhamel), it turns out, has a problem: his stardom has changed his image and the public no longer sees him as simple, friendly boy-next-door he is trying to portray in …
Under The Tuscan Sun-Diane Lane
I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it at a friend’s house, and liked it enough that I bought the DVD rather than just borrowing it from my friend. I especially liked the imagery of some of the main character’s lines, as well as the idea of just up …
Ingmar Bergman’s “The Seventh Seal” movie
Imagine… Back before engines or high speed communication, where battle is done with metal blades and crude and cruel superstitions serve as the voice of both law and medical science, you give a decade of your life traveling far from home to fight the enemies of your religion. After so …

The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid is a very good movie from the year 1989. I remember watching this movie as a kid, and liking it a lot. This movie is filled with magic and romance. All the good stuff that makes you think life is great as a kid. The music in …

Eating Out (movie)
“Eating Out” has to be hands down one of the worst movies I have ever seen and I’ve seen a great many movies in my very short lifetime. I discovered this movie when I was reading an article about something else on a popular website. I looked it up on …
Mr. Nobody, movie
This movie follows the life and stories of Nemo Nobody, played by Jared Leto. The visuals and story telling in this movie is some of the best I have ever seen, not to mention the music used at many points in the film fit perfectly with the scenes they are …
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016 Movie)
Batman and Superman are among the most iconic comic book characters of all time and have been for some time now. Both of these popular superheros were born during what many consider to be the golden age of comics; a period that roughly covered a portion of the early to …
Where The Wild Things Are movie
Where the Wild Things Are was a truly disappointing movie. It was rambling and didn’t seem to have any direction.
I think the problem is that it’s an adaptation of a picture book. It would have worked better as possibly a thirty minute animated film. …
Wild Strawberries (Movie) 1957
Wild Strawberries was written and directed by the notoriously intellectual Ingmar Bergman and was released in 1957 to critical acclaim. Commonly, Bergman is known as a gloomy, philosophical director who has a preoccupation with death which is enough to put a lot of people off. Well, his …
127 Hours (movie)
One of the movies that I watched last month was “127 Hours”. Like many of the other movies that watched recently, I only heard about it after reading about it on a popular movie blog that I’ve been visiting since the beginning of this year.
The movie, starring …
Bedazzled
I watched Bedazzled the movie on TV when my local channel broadcast them not so long ago.
If I’m correct, the movie was during the year 2000 and I did not manage to watch it at the cinema. Instead, I caught it on TV and it was surprisingly …
Almost Famous movie
This is my favorite movie of all time. I first watched it many years ago, when I was working at a video store and allowed to take home movies in the afternoon. I was, for the entire length of the movie completely enraptured. Since then, I …
Pennsylvania Gun
I am reviewing The Case of the Pennsylvania Gun, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Nora Ephron’s “Julie and Julia” 2009 film
I’m not exactly a big cinematic buff, and tend to prefer reading to watching films. However, Nora Ephron’s much hailed Julie and Julia tempted me with excellent cast, and when a couple of my friends recommended the film to me, I was really hoping to catch it in the …
My Wife is a Gangster Part 1 The Movie
It was a Korean movie that was funny combined with action and suspense as I watched it. I first came to know this Korean actress named Eun Kyun Shin when she portrayed the role of Mantis as one of the big boss or leader of a gang. I did …
Columbo: No Time to Die movie
There were a string of these Columbo movies that really just didn’t quite cut the mustard for me, and this was one of them. I’m not sure what the problem was. Perhaps it’s the lack of star power, that really charismatic murderer that grabbed your attention and …
Evan Almighty
This is a really fun movie. Players are Steve Carell, Morgan Freeman, Lauren Graham and some others. Steve Carell is as funny as he can be. Morgan Freeman show up occasionally, not a very big role. Lauren Graham is cute. It is a story …

Dumb and Dumber To, movie
Jim Carrey films were one of the most prominent features of my childhood so it was with some nostalgia that I approached this movie, even though the original Dumb and Dumber has never been one of my favourites. Carrey’s recent films have been relatively subdued in comparison to …
Phone Booth (starring Colin Farrell)
Have you ever heard the saying one phone call is all it takes to make a difference? Well, I watched Phone Booth before and this pretty much sums up what I just said. Watching this movie before, after the show had ended, I thought that it is pretty …
The Yes Man
I saw the preview for this movie and I thought it could be good, I like Jim Carrey as a comedian. It was really funny, almost as funny as Bruce almighty. Carl (played by Jim Carrey) is a man that never says yes to anything, he likes to avoid …
Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines
Everyone has a rainy day movie, one that they like to watch when the weather outside is gray. You just warm yourself up a mug of hot cocoa, with marshmallows, stay in your pajamas, put up your feet, and enjoy the next couple of hours. For me, that movie …
Farewell to Harry movie
From 2002, Farewell to Harry is a small story, told quietly. It has some very slow moments, but that’s the grace of the film. It also has that mystery to it, to figure out what is truth from what is whimsy. I found that as I …
No Strings Attached movie
No Strings Attached is a romantic comedy featuring actress Natalie Portman and actor Ashton Kutcher. Kevin Kline and a few other well known actors and actresses are also in the film. This movie was released in January 2011.

Harry Potter Deathly Hallows pt 1

Land of the Lost movie
I have a mixed feeling after watching Land of the Lost. In a way, I feel “lost”. There are some good parts in this movie and some not so good parts. It’s a funny movie with dinosaurs and many more exotic creatures that we will never be …
Movie Zoolander
Since we have access to free movie channels for a couple months, I’ve been taking advantage of it and watching films I haven’t seen in a while; including the movie Zoolander.
This is easily one of Ben Stiller’s best movies. I love how he plays a male super model who …
