Blood Diamond (R, 2006) movie
It took me a while to see this one because I don’t tend to watch “Oscar” films until they have been released for a little while. In any event, this was a good film, but not as good as I thought it would be. Of course there …
Dave Movie
This movie was surprisingly good, much better than I expected. When I saw the PG-13 rating and read the blurb - a lookalike of the American President temporarily takes the President’s place - I thought there would be some stupid stuff, like him having sex with the President’s wife, …
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla had the potential to be an exciting and incredible Godzilla movie in my eyes, but something truly ruined it: the overuse of beam and energy weapons.

The Thing from Another World movie
This film was directed by Howard Hawks back in the 1960s, but for some reason the famous director let an unknown filmmaker take all the credit. Perhaps it wasn’t good for is rumour to be affiliated with a story like this, I’m not sure.
Anyway, the plot centres around a …
Interview with the Vampire (the movie)
I absolutely love this movie! I remember when I was about 10 years old and I would watch it all the time in the dark at night. But I loved the acting. The language was fluid to me, like flowing water, and I hung onto the actors …

Hollow Reed movie
I actually came across the movie “Hollow Reed” by accident before I had never even heard of it and when I saw it starting it seemed that nothing else worth watching was being aired on cable television at the time. To make things even better, the movie was a …
Movie Tinker Bell
I’m sure we all have heard about her. She’s cute, shining, flying and has become a classic. We’ve seen her as Peter Pan’s little friend who doesn’t speak but now she has her very own movie where the spotlight is on her from start to end. It has been …

Wall-E
When I saw all the ads to Wall-E, I thought that it was going to be a boring movie with a lot of silence, but I was wrong. It was one of the best animations that Disney has made yet, both graphically as well as in the story line …
Watchmen: The complete motion comic
This was an interesting experiment in marketing. One third comic book, one third cartoon, and one third audiobook. This takes the iconic graphic novel and converts it into a sort of flash animation.
You get all the dialogue and narration, the boxes even pop up, which is surprising …

The Nannies Diary

Juno
I’ve just watched Juno this morning and I unbelievably liked it. It was good, in a quirk, unconventional way. The lifetime lessons were priceless same as with the laughter. It made a huge impact on me after I’ve watched the movie.
Juno is hilariously immature. It was such a good …

The Pink Panther movie

I love fantasy movies and try to watch as many of them as I can, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way. The thing I did not like was that they had guns in this movie. In fact they had a lot of guns. And it is …
Movie The Hangover
The Hangover was definitely a guy’s comedy. Telling the story of the morning after a friend’s bachelor party, where the 3 groomsmen wake up with no memory of the previous evening, a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in the closet, this movie definitely appeals to the …
Happily N’Ever After
We all are familiar with Cinderella right? Well this is another version but a little of the spoof version as I may say.
