Music and Lyrics
Where do you get your inspiration in anything? The movie “Music and Lyrics” tries to answer that question, and in this case, for a song.
The movie tells the story of Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant), a ‘has-been’ 80’s pop star who’s trying to revive his career. The chance comes when …
Incredible Hulk Season One
The Incredible Hulk Season One was a really cool series and unlike a number of first seasons on other television programs, the Hulk was a GREAT series right out of the staring gate. In fact, some of the first season programs are among the classics of the series. (The …

Stormbreaker movie
The best way to describe this movie is a modern time Indiana Jones teen movie. This film is based on the famous book of Anthony Horowitz but there seems to be a bit of a difference between the book and the movie version.
What I found interesting in this movie …
Moving Target movie
Moving Target could have a decent movie, but it just drags way too much to be more than so-so. The plot has some intrigue to it, but it’s poorly directed with too many long pauses and too much murkiness. I say that even though there is a …

The Blind Side
The first thing that comes to mind when you mention ‘The Blind Side’ is the movie for which the actress Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for best female interpretation. This is true, however the film is much more than that. The story of this movie is so touching that …
Beowulf movie
I’ve never seen any movie like this before. It totally blew me away. I knew that Beowulf is an old English epic poem but I didn’t really know its story. So I saw it with much anticipation, plus the hype about the movie just increased my interest in it. …

The Ring (2002) movie
People used to tell me all about this movie, so I knew what to expect but my girlfriend still said I had to watch it cause the creepiness gets to everyone. I can’t lie this movie is very creepy and the ending is just great.
The story is all …
American History X
This is a film that I would not have personally gone out to watch had it not been recommended for me. American History X is a film centred around the White power movement and the consequences of extremism.

The Village - Movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan
The Village is one of the later movies of M. Night Shyamalan. I have for a long time believed that the beauty of Shyamalan’s movies was dwindling but this movie was among those that were better than you would first thought.
In all truthfulness the movie started out very …
Bad Tidings movie
I am reviewing the movie, Bad Tidings, starring John Nettles and John Hopkins as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Dan Scott. This movie was made in 2003, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novels written by author Caroline Graham.
In this movie, Bad Tidings, viewers …

Dark Knight
You know, i normally like Batman movies but I’m not sure the film Dark Knight was all it was hyped-up to be.
Like many people said, Heath Ledger does an outstanding job as the joker. There are times he’s so crazy in this film I think the role is being …
Australia movie
The main actress of the movie “Australia”, Nicole Kidman described it as “the Australian version of Gone with the Wind”. I like to think that “Australia” is a cross version between two modern movies - “Titanic” and “Peal Harbour” - because the movie concept seems to thread on the …
The Karate Kid 2010
I just watched the 2020 remake of The Karate Kid. It was an enjoyable movie. I must say though that I enjoyed the first movie the best. The remake is entertaining but not a movie that I’ll find myself watching over and over again. Not because of the …
Movie Firewall
I bought this movie a while back and I am glad I did. It was really good. It’s kind of long but it’s good. There is some action in the movie but the whole movie isn’t full of action. All of the actors do an amazing job in the …
Ghost
Patrick Swayze fought hard for the role of Sam Wheat in Ghost, and it’s a good thing he did. He was perfect for the role, and it was he who, in turn, fought for Whoopi Goldberg to play Oda Mae Brown, for which she won an Oscar.
From the …
Movie The Little Polar Bear
I sat down to watch the movie The Little Polar Bear with my daughter last night and, I’ll admit it, I really wasn’t expecting it to be very good. But, after seeing it, I will say it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
The movie focuses on …

Women Are Like That movie

The Golden Compass movie
I watched ‘The Golden Compass’ last night the movie felt rather long, and I was entertained from the start, I was a bit thrown off by all the children in the movie, but it was an enjoyable film, I would say its “Family safe” just a bit of rude humor, …
Tootsie Movie
“Tootsie” is a comedy about Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman), a starving actor who is trying to survive on doing odd jobs, teaching acting classes and workshops, etc. No matter how hard he tries and how many auditions he goes to, he cannot get a part - until he transforms …
The Notebook
I don’t usually like romance books or movies because to me they all seem to be way too unrealistic for my comfort, even though ironically I love things such as good fantasy novels and movies and horror novels and movies. This was why I first shied away from the …

Tales of the Crypt: Bordello of Blood
In the late nineteen nineties and the early 2000s, I became a very big fan of the series and the Tales of the Crypt movies. One of my favourite movies at the time was the one called Bordello of Blood. I watched it recently though and thought that it …
Fast and Furious Movie
I was really excited when this movie came out, it features the whole original team from the first movie and I was so excited that I watched this on the first day it showed. However it was all hype and the excitement was done just when Michelle Rodriguez died …
Godzilla Vs. Destroyer
When I was growing up, Godzilla was the ultimate movie monster. After seeing a more recent version of the series, Godzilla Vs. Destroyer, I am starting to see why he never won an Oscar.
The plot of the movie itself was decent. He once again has to fight a monster, …

Movie: Freedom Writers (2007)
“Freedom Writers” (2007) was released so early in 2007 that I forgot it was eligible for the upcoming Academy Awards. Apparently so did members of the Academy because it received no nominations. The 123 minute Paramount Pictures movie is in English, filmed in color, and takes place in Long …
Say it isn’t so movie
Say it isn’t so is a very funny movie with a lot of comic scenes. The movie is a romantic comedy and I didn’t know I would enjoy this movie so much. I just went to watch it as I was feeling bored and to my surprise the movie …
Planet of the Apes movie
A film that relies a lot on that the audience must not be aware of how the film ends, actually the whole point is put in the open in the last scene. Charlton Heston plays an astronaut who, after a long sleep in space, crashes on an unknown planet …
Hollywood Land movie
I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
I think it’s because this movie was something different from what I was expecting.

“I Love You Man” (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “I Love You Man” starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segal was absolutely hilarious and actually had some meaning behind it. I would definitely recommend this film to those who are looking for a dose of comedy on movie night.
Peter, (Paul Rudd), is about to get married …
Major League
Major League with Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Corbin Bernsen, Rene Russo, and Bob Uecker.
There have been many sports movies, but I would classify this film as being in the top three of all time. We all love to root for the underdog …
We’re No Angels (movie)
For a comedy film, the movie We�re No Angels really doesn�t produce many laughs.
Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn put in a valiant effort, but the weak script and the even weaker concept really doesn�t work. You can only make so many jokes at the expense of the church …
Movie: Antibodies
The German film Antibodies is one of those films where going in you have no idea what you are going to get. When I saw the cover, which featured a naked man covered in blood in a stark white room I was thinking this was going to be …
Batman and Robin 1997 Movie
Out comes another colorful Batman, but at least Val Kilmer and Nicole Kidman did not return with the title. The title, Batman and Robin, was released in 1997 and was the ending to the sad existence that the Batman movie series had come to. It was not picked up …
Amelie (romantic comedy movie)
After watching it, I’ve come to the conclusion that “Amelie” is one of those movies that is so unique and enjoyable that I could find myself watching it multiple times. This is even though I’m not a huge fan of most romantic comedies.
The movie revolves around the very peculiar …

Street Kings (2008) movie
Well Keanu Reeves is back again and I have to say he seems exactly the same. His acting skills being minimal but I try to get past that to watch the movie. The story for me was really complicated so I am just going to try and lay out …
A Simple Formality Movie
A film by the italian director named Tornatore about a famous author being accused of murder. Did he commit it or not?
Tornatore is known by many as the director behind critically acclaimed Cinema Paradiso, a film which in my opinion is very overrated and relies only on sentimentality.
This is …
