Million Dollar Baby
I watched the movie Million Dollar Baby for the second time last night and, even though the movie supposedly got a lot of good reviews, I really just can’t see what people see in it.
Hillary Swank plays a female boxer who is trained by Clint Eastwood. And, while the …
Virtual Girl movie
When I first saw the movie Virtual Girl, my first thought was it was going to be some sort of soft-core porn film posing as a thriller. But, I have had that impression of other movies before and, when I gave them a chance, I found them to be …
The Movie Annie (1999 version)
I grew up with the Original Annie. I loved the movie and the “Tomorrow ” song still plays in my head from time to time. So when I saw the 1999 version on television, I decided to watch it. I had never seen it before and thought …
Fifty Shades of Grey (erotic romance movie)
I remember when the book Fifty Shades of Grey became so popular that even people who I knew never bought a book in their lives began to devour it mostly for the sex scenes. Then of course when the movie came out, everyone claimed that I just had to see …
Nanny McPhee
“Nanny McPhee” is a great fantasy movie with a comic touch. This movie shows how great Emma Thompson is, as an actress, and as a script writer.

Lion (2016 Drama Film)
Some movies are really made to catch awards attention. They often fail because the process becomes terribly inorganic, instead of telling a good story, they somehow focus in smaller details in the film - and while on paper it sounds good, the end material is always somewhat disappointing. Take for …
IMAX theatre systems
I think the IMAX theatres are one of the best things the movie business has going for it. As we see declining sales these are going to be the things that bring people back into the theatre. I have been saying it for years–if you want people back you …
Just My Luck movie

Heat Wave (NR, 1990) movie
I really wanted to like this little film, especially since Blair Underwood was starring. This film is really pretty old, nearly 20 years. And the premise was pretty good. During this time, there were several films that tried to follow the topic of race relations. …

Movie Collateral
In the movie “Collateral” one can see the actor, Tom Cruise with a strange hair colour and the actor, Mark Ruffalo with gel in his hair and sporting an earring. Apart from these funny facts, “Collateral” had to be a Tom Cruise drama movie; however I felt that the …
Project X movie

In this movie, Bad Tidings, viewers …
Bond 007
Over the decades, there have been a total of six men who played this role on film. Honestly, I liked each actor in different ways.
They all have distinct portrayal of “Mr. Bond” with respect to their screen personality. But good thing, despite their individuality, they …
The movie The Great Mouse Detective
I don’t really remember this movie coming out. I did not even know it existed until I was about 11 and my sister brought it home from the library. However when I did watch it I thought that it was cute.

A Christmas Story
When I first saw A Christmas Story a few years ago, I thought it was a great film. Now, after every television station has managed to show it at least a dozen times, I’m a bit burned out on it.
Overall, this is a unique holiday film in the sense …

The basic premise of this film is a future where vampires run the world and farm humans for their blood. I thought this was a pretty interesting idea but also figured it would just be “another vampire movie”. Although I was impressed with the initial idea for the movie, …
Virgin Territory
The best way to describe “Virgin Territory” is a sort of young and funny version of “First Knight”. What is interesting in this movie is that the lead actors, Hayden Christensen and Misha Barton used this movie as a way to open their path for a Hollywood career.

50 First Dates
If placed in the hands of a second-rate screenwriter, certain concepts or premises could fall apart. This movie could easily have been one of those, but expert screenwriting and fine performances by Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler make this a charming, believable movie.
