A Scanner Darkly [movie]
I just went to see the film “A Scanner Darkly” and I thought it was brilliant. The story is a cautionary tale about drug addiction. As such, it deals with a lot of material not appropriate for children, but could also be considered an important film for youth and …
Failure to launch/Matthew Mcconagughey & Sarah Jessica Parker
I loved this movie tremendously. As a survivor of the dating scene, I think we have all encountered at least one guy like this. It seems like he is the perfect guy that you have long been searching for. He has all the great qualities and looks irresistable. Then …
Blue Crush film
This film is awesome. I loved it. It is a chick flick starring Kate Bosworth (The hottie that went out with Orlando Bloom)The film itself is about surfing and a massive competition that she wants to win…
Of course there is a love interest and she gets a bit sidetracked. …
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 …
Oliver Twist (2005 movie)

Netflix
This is the best on-line movie rental program ever!! Even BlockBuster can’t come close to this. We love the selection of movies on DVD from old black and white silent to today’s current movies. TV shows that we grew up with and miss, since we think …
I Want To Live movie
I Want To Live is a movie about a woman who ends up being in the right place at the wrong time. Barbara Graham was a real person and I Want To Live is her story. Susan Haywood does a fine performance as Barbara Graham. Barbara works with a …
Scent of a Woman
This is one of Hollywood’s classic movies which tackles a very difficult argument about living life to the full and suicides. What I really like about this movie is Al Pacino excellent performance of the role Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade. It is no doubt that he won the Oscar …
Enchanted

The Castle of Fu Manchu movie
This is one of the classic Christopher Lee movies, and personally, I think that most people I’ve met who are still interested in some of these classic horror and suspense films either like this movie or hate it. Personally, I appreciated this movie, since I didn’t think that it …
Prom Night movie
In the first place, Prom Night is a not a funny and romantic comedy about a high-school prom night filled with friends and love. Yes, the movie is filled with friends, to be exact the character Donna’s friends, but this movie is all scary and a thriller! …
Hi De Ho movie
As the name might indicated, Hi De Ho is a Cab Calloway feature. The 1937 film has the famous bandleader belting out his special Hi De Ho song with a zing.
However, there is a disturbing nuance in the opening. We have Cab singing to a woman named …
Cop Out Feature Film
This movie made me sad to watch. How far has Bruce Willis fallen that he does this kind of movie? I get why Tracy Morgan was happy to make this film, but Bruce could do so much better. The action was nice, it was not …
I Am Love: A film by Luca Guadagdino (2009)
I watched this film upon the recommendation of one of nytimes film critics. I rely heavily on movie reviews, as I prefer to see titles released under the radar. It was a long wait for this film to be released in DVD version, and I had …

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is certainly enjoyable, and I dare to say that it is better than the first version, most definitely. I went with a bunch of friends to catch it the first day it was released in my country but my whole friends do …
Confessions (Japanese Movie)
Confessions (Kokuhaku) is a 2010 Japanese drama film directed by Tetsuya Nakashima, based on Kanae Minato’s 2008 debut mystery novel.

10th Kingdom Movie
A fairytale story about some teenagers finding themselves in the world of Snow White, Cinderella and lots of other fairytale characters when walking through Central Park in New York.
A film clearly intended for young teenagers, but if you look at it in that way I actually have to admit …

Movie: “Mindhunters”
I can’t recommend “Mindhunters” passionately enough: it’s so much more than just action; it’s a deep psychological thriller that will have you guessing at every turn.
Rather than just introducing mindless FBI drones, the movie presents a cast of rich characters, all with their own strengths and frailties. They are …
Black Beauty, the Movie
Black Beauty, Anna Sewell’s classic novel about the life and hardships of a black stallion in a 1870s England, proved to be a timeless piece of literature that would soon find its way onto the big screen. The sequence of events throughout the novel takes just as much importance …

Movie: The Last Song
I’m not really sure how the movie The Last Song got on my Netflix list but it ended up coming in the mail the other day. Personally, I think my wife must have added it because, while I don’t dislike Miley Cyrus, the movie sounded a heck of a …
Sweeney Todd
Johnny Depp is one of my favourite actors. Tim Burton is one of my favourite directors. And when both worked together in Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street, I am more than glad to watch it. And I was not wrong! It is a great movie. One of …
27 Dresses (2008)
Here we go again, yet another dull, boring and dreary chick flick to torture the living daylights out of you and leave you wondering why the hell do developers keep putting such utter rubbish on the silver screen, but worst, why do people pay good money to go and …

The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …
Sex and the City (2008)
OK, let us see what this movie has in store for the poor viewers such as us. To start off with, in my estimation, why the hell was this even put into production? As if the series was not torturous enough, now we have to be subjected to this …
Men in Black
Now that it’s a holiday, we have quite a lot of times to enjoy movies at home and relax with family and friends. This holiday, we have had a lot of good movies to watch, one of them was the Men in Black. I know it is a bit …

Movie Orphan
I really feel like wanting to smack right out of this kid, Esther. The movie is not in a horror genre but more to gory. Orphan the movie, is unexpected and you will be surprised at the revelation. I’m not going to tell you what it is …

Beauty and The Beast: Blu Ray Edition

With the package came three separate DVD’s. The movie in …
Romancing the Stone movie
The very first thing I became aware of when Romancing the Stone began was how difficult it was to focus on what was happening because during this first bit, the theme music to How the West was Won playing. Of course, it does match what is going on, …
Rambo 2008 movie
Rambo is a 2008 film directed by and starring Stallone, the first in the Rambo series in years, the film looked promising, I watched these films growing up, and got tired of the monotony of the cliche and dull story lines in each sequel. This looked fresh and really …
Moulin Rouge (2001 Movie)
Moulin Rouge by director Baz Luhrman is a movie built around its soundtrack…or at least, that’s how it feels to me. Each scene seems designed so that it can be summed up with a song. Fortunately the soundtrack is actually pretty good - many of the songs are great, …

Winter Sonata movie
I can say that I really love this Winter Sonata, Korean Drama. The story itself was a romantic love story. But since it is a long drama story, you can not really guess easily what is the plot of the movie. You really need to follow each step or …
Brightstar (2009, Jane Campion)
This film is a thing of beauty, a joy forever.
If you are familiar with the poetry and life of Keats I guarantee you will love this film. Quotations from Keats letters, and from his poems are cleverly interwoven into the script, never seeming forced, cliched or trite - but …
Nicktoons Halloween
