Dance with the Devil (UR, 1997)
I wasn’t going to rent this movie at first since it was a little old. But since I really like both Javier Bardem and Rosie Perez, I thought the film was worth a try. Boy was I wrong. It’s supposed to be a dark comedy. …

The Net movie
From 1995, The Net is a suspenseful, very well made drama. It’s identity theft to the nth degree, and it’s scary. Sandra Bullock plays Angela Bennett. She’s somewhat of a recluse, and she’s a computer nerd/geek. She’s a master programmer and hacker, and she knows …

Happy Feet movie
As a father with three children, ages 9 down to 3, I went into this film with some trepidation. Mind you, I like children’s fare, but this one just didn’t have the appeal for me.
Boy, was I wrong.
The tap-dancing penguin in the movie is just adorable. As much …

Traitor, spy thriller film
Traitor came out and was hoping to bank off of the success of other films. It didn’t work too well but can the video release at least shed some life on Don Cheadle’s action movie?
Samir Horn (Don Cheadle) sells weapons to terrorists. When a sale in Yemin goes …
Ghost Busters movie

“Eyes Wide Shut” (1999 film)
Occupying the position of the iconic Stanley Kubrick’s final directorial effort, completed just days before his passing, ANY movie would be the center of a lot of divided opinions and the source of controversy. After all, those qualities apply to just about every one of the movies in Kubrick’s …
Liar,Liar movie
In my opinion, this is Jim Carrey’s best movie. This is one that never fails to crack me up. When Jim Carrey’s character who is a workaholic lawyer is forced to tell the truth for a whole day after his son makes a birthday wish that his …
The Fox and the Hound 2 DVD
The Fox and the Hound 2 is one of my favorite movies. It’s a super story, with great music, and my favorite, Patrick Swayze, voicing one of the main characters. I fell in love with the animated film when I saw it, and I’m so glad that …
Movie: How to Train Your Dragon
Since last night was New Years Eve and we didn’t have any plans to go out (we couldn’t find a sitter) we decided to stay home and watch a movie with our oldest daughter. Fortunately for us, we had the film How to Train Your Dragon.
This is a movie …
Son of Batman, movie
Considering Damian Wayne’s reception as Robin has been mixed, to say the least, it was an interesting choice to make a movie that showcased him and brought him into the DC Animated Movie Universe.
While this does take place within the “New 52″ world that DC had built within …
Incident on a Dark Street movie
I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d seen this movie, Incident on a Dark Street, back when it aired in 1973, but I don’t remember it. Still, it was a TV pilot that had all the makings of a show I probably would watch. It didn’t sell, however, …
A Perfect Getaway (Movie)
When I saw this on the trailer I immediately knew it was going to be a very good suspense/thriller movie. The movie features Milla Jovovich and Steve Zahn as the Anderson honeymooners, Timothy Olyphant and and Kiele Sanchez as the other couple, and Marley Shelton and Chris Hemsworth as …
World War Z (movie)
I’m generally not really a fan of zombie movies, especially those apocalyptic ones that detail what the end of the world would be like if a great part of the human race were turned into bloodthirsty zombies. However, when the movie World War Z was released I found that …

The Good Shepherd (2006)
“The Good Shepherd” is a sobering and rather depressing depiction of the early days of the secret government agency that eventually became the CIA. Matt Damon plays the role of Edward Wilson, a very morose young man with an idealistic desire to serve his country. He gets …
Friday the 13th Boxed Set
When I heard that they were releasing a boxed set of the Friday the 13th movies, I felt a little thrill of excitement. These are the movies I grew up watching, and while Nightmare on Elm Street got its own treatment years ago, Friday the 13th was still bringing …

Cry-Baby movie
Last week I watched a movie called Cry-Baby with my girlfriend as she’s found a fascination with Johnny Depp and this is I believe his first major role in a movie. To be very honest, my expectations for this movie were extremely low and I honestly didn’t expect …

Gripping. Riveting. Awakening. This movie grabs you from the start and takes you on a ride through the African country-side, seeing a world torn apart by violence, greed, and pain. You will inevitably swear never to buy a “blood diamond” again, knowing what it costs their world.
Leonardo DiCaprio, though …

Scream Dream
The low budget horror film Scream Dream is a very sad attempt to recreate previous successful cinematic shockers. The lighting of the this movie is absolutely terrible, and the acting abilities are worse. You get a very strong impression that the movie was produced with a home video …
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 …

The House Bunny movie
We were watching some of our movie channels last night and came across The House Bunny.
This is the second time I’ve watched this movie in about a year now and I have to say it is still a cute and clever concept.
Well, to be honest, the only thing clever …
Click movie
“Click” was starred by Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. The former also starred in “50 1st Dates” and “Spanglish”.
Personally, this was a classic. I have known that Adam Sandler always plays in roles that offers humour as well as that touching concept. THis too was found in “Click”.
The story …
Life or Something Like It
“Life or Something Like It” is definitly not one of the best Angelina Jolie’s movies. Infact she was nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie. Jolie is not great in this movie because, for one thing, she is wearing blond hair and looks like a …
Young Sherlock Holmes movie
A surprisingly interesting film about the genius detective. Since the days of Basil Rathbone there have been few exceptions from the rule of failed Sherlock Holmes films, but this is one of those, much because it doesn’t follow a story written by Conan Doyle in the first place. Instead …
Aquamarine movie
When I first saw the movie Aquamarine being advertised to be released in theatres I was eager to see it since it looked like a very cute children’s movie which even I might be interested in seeing. When I watched it I wasn’t disappointed either since I didn’t think …
Never Been Kissed
“Never Been Kissed” is the first movie where the actress Drew Barrymore has a main role and, at the same time, is involved in the production of the same film. Barrymore found this experience very positive and decided to be involved in producing her on movies from her onwards. …
The Wild (movie)
To look at The Wild from a technical standpoint, the animation here was just fine. But from a story standpoint, it was hard for me to differentiate between The Wild, Lion King and Madagascar. All deal with the same issues roughly, especially The Wild and Lion King. Both deal …
Gridiron Gang
I am reviewing the movie, Gridiron Gang, staring Dwane Johnson “The Rock.” This movie is about a probation’s officer who is willing to go up against all odds in order to save lives. It seems that each time a kid rolls in, faces time, and rolls out, …

G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra was released August 7th, 2009. It was directed by Stephen Sommers. I almost didn’t see this movie thinking it was for a younger audience. I’m glad I decided to. I liked it! That surprised me as I was never …
The Hurt Locker (2009) movie
Well after hearing some word that this movie was one of the best of 2009 I had to watch it for myself to see if the hype was true. I have to say they were not lying this movie was great.
I will not ruin the story but pretty …
Furious 7 (Fast & Furious 7) - Movie (2015)
Furious 7, starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson is a movie that had high expectations before its release, primarily due to Paul Walker’s death, half-way through the filming of the movie. In my opinion, the movies in the Fast & Furious series have been disappointing but Furious 7 …
For the Love of the Game
When I was much younger I didn’t like the actor Kevin Costner since I didn’t understand most of his movies at the time. However, recently I have begun to respect him very much as one of the few very good actors so I was intrigued recently when I found …
Tammy and the Bachelor
What Gidget is to the beach, Tammy is to rural America. Tammy and the Bachelor was the beginning of the Tammy franchise. Naturally, it’s the best of all of them, with Debbie Reynolds appearing as the charmingly honest and unsophisticated Tammy Tyree. Tammy and her grandfather …
