Movies Reviews
Bruno
I was torn into two pieces by this movie. I didn’t want to see it at first because I thought it would be extremely stupid. And I believed this due to Sacha Baron Cohen’s appearances on television shows as “Bruno.” The character himself was not funny at all, to …
The Shoes of the Fisherman movie
Two of my absolute favorite actors of all time, Anthony Quinn and Laurence Olivier, appear in this film about the russian Kyril Lakota, who after 20 years in a siberian prison is elected as the new pope. I don’t have to mention the acting is brilliant I guess, but …
Fracture
Anthony Hopkins has played so many villains, I think I have lost count. Here he appears as one again, intelligent, scheming, cold-blooded - just the way you like him. The movie “Fracture” (released in 2007) drew me in from the start, and from the start I knew it was …
Memoirs of a Geisha Movie
Memoirs of a geisha was craptacular. The plot was overly melodramatic, and there was very little representation of traditional geisha makeup. Basically, a girl is sold by her father to a geisha house, after which her mother and father both die. Orphaned, she becomes the quintessential …
Inglorious Basterds
“Let me give you something you wont be able to take off.” A memorable quote from the movie Inglorious basterds. A group of american soldiers named the inglorious basterds who are notorious for killing mass numbers of nazis in brutal ways, sets out to kill hitler once and for …
Halloween (UR, 2007) movie
I am not too proud to admit that I thought this movie would be a piece of garbage. But I was sooo totally and completely pleased with how this movie was made. Thinking that it would be a convoluted and cartoonish remake of the original thriller, …
Husbands and Wives (1992) Woody Allen Movie
I would give Woody Allen’s ‘Husbands and Wives’ ten out of ten for being completely perfect, but you will hate it if you have to have a Hollywood ending. This is kind of awkward viewing. It has a rather serious, dramatic feel to it and the humour …
Tomorrow Never Dies movie
The second appearance of Pierce Brosnan made me confident the James Bond film series was never going to end. Although the creators ran out of Ian Fleming novels and made up the story on their own, it is actually rather thrilling with a lot of breathtaking action sequences and …
Veggietales: Pistachio
As I often do, I spent some time Friday looking through Netflix’s Instant Watch section for movies I could watch with my two girls.
One of the movies I came across was the VeggieTales movie Pistachio. This proved to be worth watching.
The movie (which is essentially one of their TV …
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
Neuro is a demon from Hell. Having an appetite for mysteries, and having eaten pretty much all there is in the underworld, he sets his hungry sights on Earth where he has heard that there are many mysteries around. Enlisting a young High School girl named Yako, Neuro searches …
Lady and the Tramp movie
A classical tale of boy meets girl or in this case boy dog meets girl dog. Showing the early years of Lady’s life, growing up in a respectable part of town, living the blue collar life. On the other side of the fence, we see the freelance life of …
Erin Brokovich Movie
I saw this movie twice and was very impressed by Julia Roberts’ acting. She isn’t one of my favorites, which I don’t think is her fault. Since ‘Pretty Woman’ she has been a bit typecast. Most movies I’ve seen her in have been very light and …
Marooned movie
Marooned isn’t a big favorite of mine, but there’s something about it that when I start watching it, it’s hard to turn off. I normally love space-age movies, but sometimes they seem a bit off. While that’s the case here, the acting in some cases is so …
Requiem For A Dream movie
Requiem For A Dream is another weird film you watch late at night and then try to figure out what really happened later on. I really like this movie because it is so sorted and twisted. You just can’t l really understand what would drive people to be so …
The Pink Panther 2
Today I watched “The Pink Panther 2″,because I really like the previous movie,so I went to see this movie,but I have to say that this movie let me down.It has a very foolish story,and a very weak screenplay.But I am a big fan of Steve Martin,and the only thing …
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 …
Hero (2004) Movie
A movie about a plot to kill the emperor…now where has this been done before?? The use of colours in this movie is overdone and it makes the movie confusing as well. Each different explanation of a particular story brings a different colour in play…what are the colours trying …
Tommy Boy
I am reviewing the movie, Tommy Boy starring Chris Farley and David Spade. After seven years of college, Farley character graduates and plans to work with his dad. There’s a surprise though. His dad plans to marry a woman, a woman who has a son. Tom (Farley) is …
Happy People: A Year in the Taiga - Documentary
Werner Herzog is behind the documentary Happy People: A Year in the Taiga. The film is one of Herzog’s latest documentaries. Like most documentaries, the scenes in the documentary are constructed around other well-received footage. Happy People: A Year in the Taiga is supplied …
Cannibal, DVD Horror film
How am I supposed to review a movie where a man cuts off another man’s penis, fries it up in a cooking pan, and then serves it to the no-penis man and himself? How can I review a movie like this when the whole movie leading up to this …
Jumper Movie
I decided to reserve judgment against the movie Jumper until I had seen it for myself. Some of my friends saw the movie and loved it, while those who had the same taste as me in movies didn’t like it at all. I had a few chances to see …
Pride and Prejudice
Having never been able to become very interested in the book for some reason or another, I somehow found myself enamored with the film version of Pride and Prejudice. The romance between Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) and Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfayden) is legendary, of course, but this film and …
Gridiron Gang Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
I loved this movie because it showed that you can discipline with a heart. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson portrayed a great role model who cared about others. Despite the fact that these kids had major issues with the law and had been given up on, he decides to take …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 38
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 38 begins with Riza Hawkeye arriving home after her confrontation with Pride and getting a call from Colonel Mustang. Meanwhile, Ed, Al and Winry ditch their military escorts to search for Scar while Olivier’s search team tries to get back to Fort Briggs. …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
It is very difficult for a sequel to make the audience feel the same excitement as the first movie, and this sequel didn’t quite live up to that… However, it didn’t fail either. The second Transformers movie did a bad job, and a good job of giving us …
The Invasion Movie
I think The Invasion is one of those movies that probably could have been pretty good, but ended up getting the raw end of the stick. The movie was supposed to come out a few years ago, but kept getting pushed back and pushed back. I remember reading a …
Tinker Bell Movie
I’ve been waiting my entire life for this movie to be released! Tinkerbell has always been my absolute favorite.
We had a girl’s only movie night the other day when this movie was finally released. My toddler watched the entire movie with a look of rapture on her …
X-Men: Origins: Wolverine Movie
X-Men: Origins Wolverine is a movie about the origins of Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman. It shows the early life of Wolverine and his brother Sabertooth played by Liev Schreiber. It shows James Howlet’s life from when he was a child to when he was an adult …
Sherlock Holmes (2010) Movie
When I watch the trailer the end of last year, I could’t wait for this movie to be released on the cinema on the neighborhood and I just got the chance to watch the movie yesterday. Eventually, this movie worth the wait.
I like the actors, and actually one of …
All That Heaven Allows,1955 movie
The story takes place in the 1950s, in a small New England town where everything seems to be about appearances, social status, and snobbery. Cary (Jane Wyman), a middle-aged, recently widowed woman, lives alone in a nice large house. Her two grown-up kids, selfish to no end, are off …
Silent Hill Movie
On Sunday, me and my boyfriend and our best friends James & Joan went to see Silent Hill. Both James and Alex had played Silent Hill the game (I didn’t even know it was a game) so they had high expectations for the movie.
At first the movie was slow …
A Nightmare on Elm Street movie
I’m not sure exactly how I managed to live my life without seeing this particular film, but I have. Upon having seen it, I am glad I have. It was an enjoyable film, the scene when the first girl is killed is quite startling (in my opinion …
Road Trip
When the movie Road Trip first came out, I will confess I wasn’t overly impressed by it. For the most part, it seemed to be pretty much every other college movie I’ve ever seen.
Then, after watching it for about the third time, I think I might have finally realized …
Scary Movie (2000)
This movie, umm, let me rephrase that, this comedy is a spoof of some of the movies that were released the months before this movie was released. It dares to poke fun at almost every movie no matter the content, if it’s a serious movie or not, nothing movie …
The Glass House,2001 movie
A mediocre, predictable thriller with quite a few plotholes and not the best acting. Ruby (Leelee Sobieski), a 16 year old girl, and her brother Rhett (Trevor Morgan) are orphaned when their parents die in a car accident. A wealthy couple adopts them, supposedly according to the dead parents …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
The movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding stars Nia Vardalos and John Corbett. The movie was filmed in 2002 and is a charming adventure about Tula, a Greek woman who wants to marry but believes she is not pretty enough. Nia Vardalos plays Tula and she is wonderful in …
Eurotrip
OK, I know I’ve seen the movie Eurotrip before and I’m sure I have probably reviewed it before too.
But, after watching it for probably the 12th time last night, I still can’t get over how good this movie is.
Basically, for those of you who haven’t seen it, the movie …
Mona Lisa Smile
‘Mona Lisa Smile’ is one of those unescapable feel-good movies that induce the viewer into a reverie of real world idealism. The everlasting quest of man for the template of an ideal mate for life is presented through the conservative faces of the movie.
The movie is set in an …
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 …
Happy Feet Movie
I was babysitting my niece and nephew and they wanted to watch the movie. When I popped the DVD in, I was prepared to get bored. I thought what could they possibly cook up with penguins as characters? But then my interest got stirred up by the opening number. …
Bride Wars Movie
I love this movie! Not only does it feature my favorite gorgeous actresses Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson, but the story is really unique and cute and every girl can just relate to this one! However I think guys wouldn’t really enjoy watching this as it’s a total 100% …
The Producers movie
Have you ever thought about producing a Broadway musical? Then the remake of the Mel Brooks classic is a great movie for you.
The movie started out slowly but, as it progressed, became funnier by the minute and the plot twists kept me wanting to watch just to find out …
The Hangover 3 (movie)
Hangover 3 is the last part of the Hangover trilogy that was released in 2013. The last part of the trilogy was again directed by Todd Phillips who directed the first two parts of this trilogy. I previously enjoyed the Hangover and Hangover 2 like no other. It was …
The Good Dinosaur (2015 Film)
I have a really weird fascination for Pixar films. In the country where I live, Pixar films tend to show late compared to their release dates stateside. That is why I had to wait for a month or two to catch them in cinemas rather than watch a downloaded a …
Who’s That Girl? (1987)
This movie is the story about a paroled criminal who is in the process of being escorted from the prison to the bus terminal by her lawyer, but she has other plans and decides to deviate from the planned route and take up the task of trying the prove …

“Johnny English” is one hilarious movie about a British secret agent (Rowan Atkinson), a James Bond wannabe, who keeps getting in all kinds of trouble. His dream of being Number One quite unexpectedly comes true one day when all other secret agents are killed in an explosion. Johnny is …
The Idiot movie
Japanese master director Akira Kurosawa here tries to depict a famous work in literature, Dostoyevskis The Idiot. Kurosawa has moved the story to Japan, which also has been done by the director with works of Shakespeare for example. The film is rather long, around 3 hours, but still it …
Ace of Sales (Taiwan Movie)
Aces of Sales is a Taiwanese drama comedy directed by Cho Li.
I’ve some time to pass before my appointment so I decided to watch a movie online. I don’t have anything in mind so I just pick one randomly. I don’t really know what to say of this film, it …
