Envy (2004)
I thought this movie was going to be hilarious, perhaps in a silly way, but very funny nevertheless. After all, it’s got Ben Stiller and Jack Black, come on, they know how to provide some good laughs! Well, it turns out that even these two funnymen can’t do much …

Fright Night movie
I first time I saw this movie was some time ago on the Syfy channel. I didn’t see it from the very very start, but when I started watching it, the movie was still in its early stages. At first I didn’t expect anything much from it, and thought …
Movie: From Prada to Nada
I first saw this title on my T.V. guide as I was scrolling to search for programs to record on my Rogers PVR.
From Prada to Nada sounded like a catchy name for a film and it caught my attention when I looked at the info on the movie. …
The Theory of Everything, Movie
I decided that I wanted to watch this film as soon as I saw the trailer. It seemed to me like it would have a realistic story line, and that the film would hold my attention. I would say the film definitely lived up to my positive expectations.
The film revolves …
Hulk, Movie by Director Ang Lee
For a long time I watched the poster for this movie and wondered whether I should bother myself with watching it. I’m not really a fan of the Hulk movies, and I do not like the concept on which it runs itself the storyline that in my opinion, at …
Adventures in Babysitting
Adventures in Babysitting was a fun little movie directed by Chris Columbus that came out in the eighties. Elizabeth Shue plays the perfect combination of girl-next-door and blonde bombshell who every guy wants to call his girlfriend. Starring in the title role, Shue hams it up nicely as …

Film 300

Movie Teen Wolf
Teen Wolf with Michael J Fox.
The title of this movie pretty much explains the story line, but the magic that somehow is associated with little Michael is hard to explain. This film was fun to watch over and over again and can only be …
Sapphire Girls
My wife picked up the movie Sapphire Girls the other day because she read the back of it and it sounded like an intriguing drama.
It turned out to be nothing more than a soft core porn film; and not a very good one at that.
The movie, which is about …
The Interpreter
I define “The Interpreter” as one of the best thriller’s of our time coming out from Hollywood. Without any doubt the director, Sydney Pollack has managed to include another successful movie to his chain of great movies, such as “Havana”, “The Firm”, “Out of Africa”, “Tootsie” and “Absence of …

Evil Dead (2013) Movie
Remakes of classic horror movies don’t have the best track record. Yet, we live in an age where they are common place due to…I’m not sure.
I was skeptical when I heard that they were remaking “Evil Dead”. I’m a fan of the original trilogy and doing …
Sunshine (DVD)
This is without doubt one of the most horrible movies I’ve ever seen! It is truly awful and as I watched it, it grew worst and worst.
The way they filmed it is just ghastly. There are many scenes in this movie where odd colored bands cover part of …
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
Ok, I’ve heard the song enough this holiday season to make my head explode. But, I have to admit the animated movie based on Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer was actually pretty good.
The movie, which I didn’t time but believe is about an hour long, basically gives …

I had avoided watching the movie “Runaway Bride” for a very long time since it was released in the year nineteen nintey nine since I am not a fan of romance movies. Another reason is because I was about ten or eleven at the time it was released so …

Little Shop of Horrors movie

One of the movies we ended up re-watching for …
Erin Brockovich
If you want a movie that embodies the term “girl power”, it is definitely the feature film Erin Brockovich. Other than it being the movie that won Julia Roberts an Oscar for Best Actress in 2001, it narrates the life story of the eccentric but street-smart main character …
The Europeans (1979)
This 1979 movie has failed my expectations, big time. It is based on a novel by Henry James, and the story is set in 1850s � my favorite timeframe, so I thought I was going to love it. A wealthy American family lives a comfortable life in their house …
The Polar Express
I didn’t get a chance to see the Polar Express at the theater and never got around to renting it on DVD. So, when it came on television Christmas night, I figured there was no better time to watch it.

Star Trek The Motion Picture movie

DVD PATRIOT
Has Mel Gibson ever made a worse film?

The Ocean’s Trilogy, 3 caper comedies films by Steven Soderbergh
There seems to be a trend happening in Hi-Def releases. I guess it’s more to entice people to buy movies they already own, but I’ve noticed that studios are releasing Trilogies bundled with very little added special content. Yeah, I guess they’ve been doing this with plain old DVD. …
