The Secret (R, 2006) movie
You will probably recognize her as Juno’s hyper teenage BFF. But Olivia Thirlby proves otherwise in this 2006 thriller called “The Secret.” The DVD cover art may throw you off. You may think that this is some seedy Lolita movie in which the teen wraps …

“Funny games” movie
Shocking, but very real movie - saturated with brutality so well known to us from many other images. This time, however, it is presented in a unique way. The director wanted not only to make another movie like his predecessors, but also realize some important things to us …

Sixteen Candles (1984 Film)
Who cannot love a young Molly Ringwald as a fashion forward teenager who is trying to survive high school? I know that I can’t, and that is why it’s hard to not absolutely love the 1984 film “Sixteen Candles”. Not only is this movie funny, but it really does …

Walking Tall
I saw Walking Tall the other day, and I must say it’s very funny. I really thought The Rock did a good job in this movie. He was very violent and kicked butt in this movie. Walking Tall is about a small town that has been turned evil by drugs. …
A.M.C. Theatres
A.M.C. is a theatre in Ontario - but it is not as famous as ‘famous players theatre’ because it is relatively new. If you go on weekdays, it is practically deserted. A lot of people even sneak in because they barely have any security on weekdays so I think …

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Movie (2014)
“The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” is a decent effort by director Peter Jackson to wrap up the trilogy based on the novel, ‘The Hobbit’. Now I use decent very loosely as it falls far below the quality of the first two installments in the trilogy. When I watched …

Hot Shots Part Deux
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sequel to the movie Hot Shots; Hot Shots Part Deux. And I have to admit, after seeing it again this morning, it’s as good as I remember it being.
While the first Hot Shots movie made fun of the film Top Gun, …
The Witch (2015 Horror film)
As soon as I saw the trailer and began to hear a lot of good reviews about it, I searched long and hard for the 2015 movie “The Witch”. I’m a huge supernatural horror movie fan, and so the excitement was contagious. I found it on blu-ray and I expected …

3 Idiots (2009 Bollywood Film)
I am not really a fan of Bollywood/Indian films when I was young, but overtime, I was able to enjoy their weird incorporated singing and dancing which was truly their signature.
I am also glad that I wasn’t able to watch 3 Idiots long before I took up an engineering course …
Letters to Juliet movie
Letters to Juliet, a 2010 movie release, was surprisingly enchanting and entertaining. I really enjoyed it. There were moments where it slowed down a bit too much for me, and in reality, I think it could have been about ten to fifteen minutes shorter and been a …
The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
This movie is about how Elmo learns to share. It shows the villain as a self-absorbed man who takes what he likes without consequence. It happens in Grouchland where grouches don’t take action against him because they’ll have to work together to do so. The movie is hosted by …
The Lovers DVD Movie
I just couldn’t fathom why there ever exists a classic black and white movie titled The Lovers which was made around the year 1958. Yesterday, my 2 best friends came to my house as per normal to chill and they brought this classic DVD movie from one of …
Pledge This movie
I’m far from being a Paris Hilton fan. She’s an OK actress but isn’t someone that is going to have me going out of my way to rent a movie just to watch her. But, of all the movies we watched this past weekend, her film “Pledge This” surprisingly …
Ocean’s Eleven (2001)
With an all star cast of the some of biggest names in the movie making business in this movie, it is no wonder that it made such a killing at the box office. The fact that it was a remake did not seem to sway people from lining up …
Shutter Island (2010 film)
Martin Scorsese won me with The Departed and continued his amazing streak of great movies with Shutter Island-a psychological thriller motion picture for which I thought that I literraly watched in one breath although throughout the film I was usually out of one.
Tedy Daniels …
Keeping Mum
I watched this film recently on DVD, mainly because it’s British and I love British film, but also because it stars Rowan Atkinson and Kristin Scott Thomas, both brilliant actors. Rowan Atkinson plays a vicar (again) and is very believable in the part, showing no Mr Bean style goofiness …
Ma and Pa Kettle
Universal International Studios struck a gold mine when they launched Ma and Pa Kettle in 1949. It would be the first of nine pictures focused on these country characters. However, Ma and Pa actually first began in another movie, one I enjoy a lot, called The Egg …
Pretty Woman
I’m not sure what exactly the draw is for me but whenever the movie Pretty Woman is on television, I just have to watch it.
Maybe I’m just a closet Julia Roberts fan but I just can’t get enough of a Cinderella story that has a prostitute and millionaire falling …
Sliding Doors (1998)
I had only caughts bits of ‘Sliding Doors’ before and although those bits never struck me as very exciting, I sat down to watch it last night - I thought I would give it a chance. The concept of this film was very appealling to me as the …

There are only two movie houses in this part of the country– a fact quite interesting knowing that this place is considered as university town.

House of a Thousand Corpses
This is a movie (produced and shown in 2003) that I regret having watched. I only wasted money.

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 …

Superman Vs Doomsday
Coming from Old School Superman, I could never really get into Superman and Lois Lane as an item. I can appreciate its inevitability � I mean, after all, they’ve been working together almost seventy years. But if television is any indicator, romances typically mean the death knell to a …
The Happening
When I saw previews to the movie The Happening, I suspected it would be a film that would start out scary but would have a twist that would manage to ruin it.
After watching it last night, I found I was 100 percent correct.
While I liked the idea of a …
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Well, “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”, can be summed up as this: “Great Classic Western”. Clint Eastwood does an exceptional job as the main character. The main story is about three men who are all on a quest to retrieve a stolen cash box that is buried …

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Shadow of Malevolence
I’ve been enjoying the Clone Wars cartoon not so much because it is Star Wars but because it’s hard to find anything which feels like epic Science Fiction, and Shadow of Malevolence, the third episode in the season, manages to get that feel of a big universe better than …

Robocop movie
Paul Verhoeven is a dutch controversial filmmaker who combines social criticism with main stream action and science fiction, and in my opinion this mixture is often very interesting. Robocop takes place in a future where criminality has grown out of proportion and the authorities do everything they can to …
Total eclipse
I have watched the movie ‘Total eclipse’. The director is Agnieszka Holland. The actors are Leonardo DiCaprio, David and Romane. This is not so interesting to watch and has been shot rather poorly. David has played the role of Paul verlaine and Leonardo has played the role of Arthur.

Netflix Online
It’s time to put Blockbuster behind us.
Here’s why:
Selection. It doesn’t matter whether you like horror, comedy, romance, or history movies– Netflix has it all.
The price is reasonable. You know how much it costs to rent a movie at your local store, it’s outrageous. If you watch more than four …

Stargate SG-1 - The Enemy Within
The second episode of the TV series Stargate SG-1 was called “The Enemy Within”. It’s a transition episode really from the pilot movie to the series itself. It’s not a big favorite of mine, probably because it is still struggling with getting all its eggs in its …
1408
I always wait for these suspense horror movies to come out. I just had to go see 1408 as soon as it hit the theatres. I love John Cusack in movies and i like this type of movie so i thought this movie may be pretty good to go …
Film The Collector (1965)
William Wyler’s The Collector, filmed in 1965, is possibly one of the most disturbing films ever made. It is a suspense film and a character study and one of the bleakest at that, as well.
