Easter Parade movie
Easter Parade is a very nice holiday musical with a tip top cast that includes Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, and Peter Lawford. It’s full of good songs, including the title number which is, naturally, the centerpiece of the motion picture.
Oddly, though, I’m not a huge fan of Easter …
The Helen Morgan Story movie
I absolutely adore The Helen Morgan Story. It’s an oldie, from 1957, but it is so tragically romantic that I was drawn to it from the first time I saw it. Helen Morgan was a singer and actress who made a name for herself on Broadway. …
A Reasonable Man movie
Some time ago, I watched an interesting South African film called “A Reasonable Man” on one of the Starz channels. The main question that the movie revolved around was ‘who exactly can be defined as a reasonable man in a multi-cultural society?’ and that was something I realised I …
28 Weeks Later
If you all have watched 28 Days Later before, then you must certainly catch 28 Weeks Later. I have the opportunity to watch it and here is my review.
This show lasts for about 1 hr 31 minutes, and it is the sequel to 28 Days Later. Now, …
Superman Returns
At last, someone returns to the heart and soul of the original Superman of 1978, with minor improvements to special effects and setting. This movie could not have been made as is back in 1978. It is a Superman for this generation and I am pleased with its arrival. …
Jason Goes to Hell (Rated Version)
Jason Goes to Hell is the ninth, and supposedly last movie in the Friday the 13th series of horror movies. The movie itself has been panned by fans because it completely disregards the other movies. In this one we are led to believe that Jason isn’t the ordinary man …
Movie Master and Commander
We watched Russel Crowe the other night in a movie that came out a few years ago called Master and Commander.
Russel Crowe is another actor that I find does an extremely good job when he portrays charactors and acts. In this movie takes place during the Napoleonic …
Devil in the Flesh
I have heard of the movie Devil in the Flesh before. But, I didn’t get a chance to watch it until yesterday, when it was on one of our movie channels.
It was an OK movie but I have to admit, I was expecting it to be better.
Rose McGowan does …
Howl’s Moving Castle (anime film)
When I first heard that ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ was to be released on film, I was thrilled. I was a little chagrined, though, to learn that it would be a Japanese anime production.
I was so happy, in the first instance, because I love the book on which the film …

Monsters VS Aliens 3D
This is the 2nd movie that I have seen in 3D. The 3D effect is indeed a visual treat. It is very entertaining and it took movie watching up a notch. It is as if you can actually touch and feel the characters. Kids and adult alike enjoy such visual …
Blade Trinity movie
Just when you think they could not do better than the original and the sequel…they came out with Trinity…BAD IDEA. It’s nice that they wanted to bring the first, the original vampire into the mix of things, but, they did a real terrible job with his portayal. Dracula (Drake) …

The Daybreakers (R, 2010)
I didn’t know exactly what to expect at first. I like vampire films and was quite anxious about this one. The Daybreakers is about a society in which vampires are the majority and humans are the minority. In fact, the government has begun to “farm” human …
Movie: Charade
Charade is one of my favorite movies ever and has two of the best actors ever: Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. I mean with the two of them, how can you go wrong? The movie is fantastic and of course the acting is great! The movie centers around Audrey …

The Sleuth Movie

“Accepted” is a funny movie for anyone who went through college or tried to get into college. If you ever sat through a class and wondered “why am I here?”, you’ll love to watch the characters in
Accepted as they avoid the normal, boring college experience. Althought it …
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children
Final Fantasy is always famous for its in-game cg movie, but can we really expect it to be a great movie if it’s only a full time in-game cg without gameplay? Yes, Final Fantasy VII proved that. Final Fantasy VII Advent Children is the second cg movie done …
Hollywood Homicide (2003)
Ok my good people, I guess we asked for it and it was given to us as promised, this is where Hollywood meets police meets Hollywood get it? Me neither, but in essence, this movie is about two police detectives who are not getting enough payment from their regular …
Sex in The City (The Movie)
I recently saw Sex in The City (The Movie), like i’m sure most of you women and some men have already dashed to the nearest theatre to see. I say most women and some men, based on my trip to the movies and the observations I made while …
The movie I am Legend
I am one of those people who love scary or mysterious movies. You know what I’m talking about the “what if this happened movies.” I love all kind of movies, but I was really wanting to see the “I am Legend” movie with Will Smith. I must mention that …
Pitch Perfect, movie
Pitch Perfect, the hit sensation 2013 film, known for its combination of music and comedy. I for one believe this movie is spectacular it encompasses the differences in societies, people, their opinions and how to accept people for who they are. These is achieved through the different …
Anger Management movie
Anger Management. I knew of the movie, had no interest in seeing it. Jack Nicholson stooping down so low as to star in a movie with Adam “Billy Madison Boy” Sandler. Not for me.
So, now long after I think this movie is ancient history, I turn …
Suicide Squad (2016 Superhero Movie)
I can’t really explain how excited I was to see the movie Suicide Squad after I viewed the trailer. Both listening to the soundtrack and seeing the visual effects alone brought me to a level of anticipation that I only had with viewing upcoming Marvel movies. Thus I sacrificed the …
A Kid in Aladdin’s Palace
Though I have not seen this movie in ages, it still remains one of my favourite children’s movies. It was released in the year nineteen ninety eight and I think that the first place where I watched it was on the Disney Channel one Thursday or Friday night when …
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 …
First Knight (1995)
This movie is another recreation of King Author and the knight of the round table story that has been told and retold over the years and given a modern twist at different stages in its lifespan. This version’s scenario has a futuristic look, feel and appeal unlike the previous …
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind film
How the story unfolded was quite interesting. It’s a beautifully woven tale of two souls who, after having been separated by science, still manage to find each other again, because of a force far greater than any form of futuristic technology — love.
I enjoyed the cast of characters of …
Twilight Saga: New Moon
As you may have noticed, the next movie in the Twilight Saga, New Moon, was just released November 20, 2009. I went to the 9:30am showing at my local AMC Theater. I have read all the books for the series. Let me start the reivew by saying, …
High School Musical
When I first heard of Disney’s High School Musical franchise, my first thought was “Not another cheesy teen flick!”, and I was sure I wouldn’t like it.
One evening, I was flicking through channels, to find something decent to watch, when I came across High School Musical 1 playing on …
Possession by Gwyneth Paltrow
I love book to movie adaptations. That’s because, there is a certain kind of creativity that I can get whenever that happens. Watching Possession by Gwyneth Paltrow, I have a very fun time watching the performance acting by Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart. In this movie, both …

Kill Theory movie
A friend of mine had the DVD for Kill Theory, and I decided to kill time while I was at their house and watch it, even though even the title seemed very corny to me, and I’m usually very wary of a lot of horror movies that seem to …
Movie War of the Worlds (2005)
Even though War of the Worlds is a great movie and I enjoyed watching it very much, I was not happy with the fact that Tom Cruise played the leading role. I did not think the character of Ray Ferrier was portrayed as believable and may have been better …
Rocky Horror Picture Show
I have seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show two times in my lifetime; last night was the second time. Each time I enjoyed the movie but I found myself leaving awfully confused.
Let me start out by saying that, if you haven’t seen this movie already, you may want to …
Flight of the Navigator movie
I haven’t seen Flight of the Navigator in a while but it still sticks in my mind as one of the better family-oriented science fiction films I’ve ever seen.
Disney does a wonderful job with the special effects in this movie, which centers around a child who gets hurt in …
Insidious: Chapter 3 (supernatural horror movie)
Insidious: Chapter 3 wasn’t on my list of horror movies to watch because I didn’t get the impression that it would be very good especially after watching the trailer. As usual, someone I knew recommended it to me anyway and I decided to try it. It turns out that I …
Clash of the Titans movie
Clash of the Titans sets the viewer up for grand expectations, but in the end leaves after only giving the viewer various disappointments. Truly CGI and action do not alone make a cinematic masterpiece.
Being a remake of what many consider to be a cult classic, many reviews are …
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice is the sixth and latest of the series. I have to admit up front that I’ve only seen snippets of the character in past movies. I’ve never managed to get through an entire movie. I’m not sure why because I do enjoy …

Duplicity movie
I don’t know why the title is Duplicity, but this movie sizzles. I watched it with my boyfriend and we were both entertained by Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. Both of them have this particular chemistry in the movie and together, they are plotting to make something profitable …
Open Season
When I finally got around to watching the movie Open Season this past weekend, I figured it would be a lot like the other animated movies I’ve watched recently. I was right. But, it was still entertaining.
The movie, which centers around a bear who was raised by humans but …

This Is Spinal Tap
This Is Spinal Tap is a silly movie about a band based in the 1970s. You can’t watch This Is Spinal Tap and take it seriously! I’ve ran across a couple of people who actually thought Spinal Tap was a real band. They are not! What they are is …
