Superman Doomsday
Let me start off by saying…”One of the best Superman Movies animated or not ever made”. I have always been of the opinion that Superman’s portrayed character is so lame, why is he called “Superman” in the first place. He always seems to get the tar beat out of …

Kiki’s Delivery Service movie
Kiki’s Delivery Service is, in my opinion, a very aesthetically pleasing movie. The music and the animation flow together well - so well that other than a couple of songs, you barely notice the music. I really liked the initial flying scene as well - I thought it looked …

Sleepers: Movie
I found Sleepers to be quite an interesting film, mainly due to the fact that I am a fan of a good revenge story.
I wasn’t entirely satisfied at the ending, but I feel that the emotion captured by the actors was so good that it softened the blow a …
Darkness Falls
There are very few “horror” movies on the market that truly scare me. Darkness Falls is a movie that makes me want to sleep with my lights on.
Set in a town that once wrongfully executed a disfigured woman called “the tooth fairy.” The characters in the film must deal …

Also known with the digits (1900) this is an incredible epic by Bernardo Bertolucci about Alfredo and Olmo, who grow up together in italy in the early 18th century. Alfredo is a rich boy while Olmo is one of the poor. The film depicts the life of these two …
Tron Legacy, Movie
For the sake of candidness I ought to state that I am a big fan of Daft Punk and the original Tron Movie. It is therefore with some bias that I entered the cinema to see Tron Legacy, which announces the arrival of Joseph Kosinski as a new director.
From …
Captain America movie
When I first heard about the Captain America movie, my first thought was, “How can Chris Evans be The Human Torch AND Captain America?” Is the smooth-talking wise-cracking lady’s man really the right person to be playing the man who fights for truth, justice, and the American way? Director …
Leroy & Stitch movie
I’m always glad when it’s my daughter’s turn to pick a movie because I know I’m usually going to find one that we will all enjoy.
Watching Leroy & Stitch last night is a perfect example.
In what I think is going to be the final sequel to the original Lilo …
Die Hard movie
The movie die hard has been out for a very long time. I myself have seen it many times, and each time I watch it I can always find something new and great about the movie. Not only is this Bruce Willis’s biggest role but it’s one of the …
Batman Begins Movie

I’m a fan of fairytale stories from Cinderella, Snow white, Goldilocks, Beauty and the beast and many more. I’m 22 years old and I still believe in happily ever after. When Tangled was first introduced I never hesitated and watched the film on its first day. I’ll …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets contains spoilers.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is not my favorite of the Harry Potter movies. Unlike the other 4 films out on DVD, this one feels like it’s too long. I first watched this movie on …
Netflix Movie Rental
Blockbuster was always my way of getting movies. I don’t buy movies as I do not see the point. I am only going to watch the movie once. Blockbuster was really useful. I go in their store, look for the movie I want, pay, and return it once I …
The Winning Team movie
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. As a politician, I never liked Ronald Reagan. I think he acted his way through the presidency. However, as an actor, I really enjoy his performances, including this one as baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander. He’s …
Hidalgo (2004)

Mrs. Doubtfire
Although both my parents are adamant that I watched this movie with them in the theater, my earliest memory of watching this movie was when I watched this on video at my cousin’s house when I was still a young child in the early nineties. I can’t remember thinking …
Pulp Fiction Movie
The first time I saw this movie, I wasn’t too sure where it was leading me…it was abit confusing at times, but, then it started to make sense. This is a very good thinking persons movie. It slices and dices and cuts corners without question, and it is still …
Return To Me
The movie “Return to Me” can be easy described as a ‘mission impossible’ attempt for three persons the director Bonny Hunt and the two main actors, David Duchovny and Minnie Driver. For Bonny Hunt, who is much more known as an actress, this is the first movie …
Happy feet movie

Disaster Zone: Volcano in New York (2006) Movie
This is your average film and it doesn’t reach anywhere near the “Volcano” that took place in Los Angeles. There is only one truly scary moment near the beginning of the picture and after that it’s typical drama with no thrills, although there are some dangerous moments near the …
The Secret Life of Bees movie
I was very hesitant to watch the movie “The Secret Life of Bees” first of all, since it had the singers and actresses Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys in it, and since I cannot recall seeing any of them in what I thought were very good movies, …

Jurassic Park I: The Movie
In my opinion the movie Jurassic Park based on the novel from Michael Crichton is one of the great set of movies based upon his books. The animation and idea behind the movie is cutting edge for the time it was created in 1993. The plot for the movie …

Silence of the Lambs Movie
This stunning movie is already considered a classic. Garnering five 1991 Academy Awards, it comes to no surprise that many of us still find it spellbinding.

Open Water 2
This is a surprisingly good sequel. What made it good was how it diverged from the original. The main danger in Open Water was the ever present threat of shark attack. In Open Water 2, the writer and director cleverly play on the expectation …
Movie The Terminal
The Terminal with Tom Hanks.
This is without a doubt one of Tom Hanks best movies. Though the storyline is unique and interesting, its success rests solely on this fine actor’s shoulders.
The story is simple. It is neither dramatic nor does …
The Banger Sisters
In all honesty I don’t know why Susan Sarandon decided to participate in an average movie such as “The Banger Sisters”. The only reason that comes to my mind is that, after 11 years, from her successful movie “Thelma & Louise”, she thought this movie will have the same …
Bubble (2005)
I read about “Bubble” on some of the movie forums that I frequent. It seemed to be one of those love it or hate it movies. It also seemed like a movie that didn’t have a huge budget, almost no special effects and an improv-style script. Against my better …
The Eruption of Mount St. Helens! (2001)
This movie was originally shown in IMAX theatres but it is now on DVD. It is about the series of terribly destructive eruptions that happened in the 80s. At the time it erupted, I was too young to really remember hearing about it on the news and since I …
The Pink Panther Movie
This movie was over the top kookie. I don’t think it was as good as the original Pink Panther movie, because the clumsiness of the detective in this version (played by Steve Martin) was just a bit too obvious and not as offhand as in the original.
The curtain costumes …
“1408″ (2007) based on a Stephen King Short Story
“1408″ (2007)”1408″ is a 2007 movie filmed in color. It is in English and lasts just over 100 minutes. The movie is taken from a short story by Stephen King. Unlike some of his short stories that lend themselves to thoughtful, rich stories, such as “The Shawshank Redemption,” “Heats …
Just Friends
Ah the classic, “I love you, just not like that,” or “We’re just friends” lines. Who hasn’t said, or heard, one of those? We’ve all been the victims of unrequited love. This movie takes this natural occurance to a new and hilarious level.
Ryan Reynolds, as usual, plays an absolutely …

Film The Sure Thing
There is something about the presence of John Cusack in a teen comedy that elevates it to something quite fresh. Not that it works all the time, but a good exampe of it in effect is in Rob Reiner’s The Sure Thing.
Perfectly cast as Gibb, Cusack makes his character, …
The Women movie
The Women is based upon a movie classic from 1939. The claim to fame of this film is that there are no men in the film, not even in passing. In parts Meg Ryan is very entertaining but I am a fan of Meg and all her characters are …
