Zombieland: Movie
I didn’t quite know what to expect from Zombieland, but as it turns out I quite enjoyed it. I found it to be pretty entertaining and thought it was to be one of the better comedies to come out of the last few years.
I love end-of-the-world type cinema …
Scoop movie
Scoop is a comedy atypical for Woody Allen. A comedy situated on the border between Allen’s specific black comedies, a classic romantic comedy and a mystery thriller. Another unusual element in Scoop is Scarlett Johansson, who stars in my opinion in one of his best roles. She is a …
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (movie)
I generally like watching Justice League movies, so when I heard of the Flashpoint Paradox, I couldn’t wait to find the time to actually sit down and watch it. I didn’t even read up on the plot of it either, I just decided to leave everything to surprise this …
House Of Wax Movie
The movie House of Wax was kind of disappointing, especially considering all the hype around it just because Paris Hilton was in it. It was really disappointing, as it almost kind of made you hope she could do something besides….well we all heard about the videos. Elisha Cuthbert and …
The Water Diviner, Movie
The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …
Movie Horton Hears a Who
I am reviewing the movie, Horton Hears a Who. So, this is a Dr. Seuss story. It’s about this big, fat elephant named Horton. He’s generally liked by the others in the jungle. One day, he hears a cry for help. It happens to be coming from a tiny …
Street Fighter (Movie)
When I first watched this movie, I was very excited that I could finally watch a movie on street fighters, because I was a fan of the game, street fighter 2, which, by the way, was one of my favourite game back in my day as a child.
I was, …
Movie: The Ruins
When I think of The Ruins the words for decription that come to mind is unexpected surprise. Although I’m a huge fan of horror films, creature features are not the ones I enjoy the most. I don’t even remember why I put this on my netflix queue …
Aristocrats (2005)
I had heard from a friend whose taste I respect that this was a remarkable movie, so I decided to check it out. Well, it’s different, I’ll say that.
This is a movie about a joke — a filthy joke, a single joke, and one told over and over in …
There’s Something About Mary, comedy film
There’s Something About Mary is one of those movies that has influenced most of today’s modern comedy movies. This movie might have been one of the first biggest R-rated comedies, it was popular every where. With the popularity of blu-ray growing each week it made sense to release this …
My Sister’s Keeper movie
This movie review contains spoilers.
I saw Cameron Diaz on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ talking about her role in the upcoming film ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ and couldn’t wait to see it. Usually I don’t like watching movies that look too sad, especially about children with cancer, but Cameron’s character …
Movie: The Crazies
Even though we already had a movie to watch this weekend, my wife insisted on renting another one called The Crazies. She said she had heard from a friend that it was very good.
Well, I think her friend has a weird taste in movies because I definitely disagree with …

Two Weeks Notice is a light and well-made romantic comedy. Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock), a talented attorney, gets fed up with her rich, handsome, and helpless boss George Wade (Hugh Grant). Despite having a secretary, Wade keeps using Lucy as another one, burdening her with ridiculous personal requests. Tired …
Movie Review of the Machinist
When Christian Bzle emerged from Hollywood to don the cape of Batman, the critics were at first skeptical, then heaped paeans of praise for his acting. It wasn’t as popular as Superman– hell, it was a portrayal of a dark character set against a dark backdrop. Between …

Cast:
Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees), Lexa Doig (Rowan), Lisa Ryder (Kay-Em 14), Jonathan Potts (Prof Lowe), Melyssa Ade (Janessa), Peter Mensah (Sgt Brodski)

Movie: “Evan Almighty” (2007)
This movie was a sequel to the 2003 comedy classic “Bruce Almighty”, but it did absolutely no justice to “Bruce”. “Evan Almighty” was sheer disappointment from start to finish.
The usually hilarious Steve Carell returns as Evan Baxter, his character from the first movie. In this film, he has just …
Signs movie
I know many people didn’t like “Signs”. I think that is because they came into the movie with the wrong expectations. As a science fiction movie “Signs” is average. The aliens don’t make very much sense; there is no explanation of their motivation. The special effects are simple to …
Taken: Movie
Taken is one of the best movies that I saw last year, and certainly one of my favourites of the thriller genre.
The plot of a kidnapping or of a heroic dad rescuing his daughter is nothing new, but the script really makes it into something special.
I thought that the …

A Perfect Getaway (movie)
When the movie “A Perfect Getway” just began to advertise its release, I wasn’t very excited about seeing it, since from just watching a trailer I thought that the plot looked too familiar, and one of the main characters was Mila Jovovich, an action movie actress who I had …
Hatchet Movie
Hatchet is without a doubt the best horror movie I’ve seen in a long time. People kept telling me to watch the remake of Halloween or a film from the After Dark series, or even one of the foreign horror movies, but nothing kept my attention like Hatchet did. …
Amadeus
Somehow, I thought that this movie was made in the 1990’s, so I was rather surprised to find out that its release date is 1984. I rented it from the library after seeing it mentioned in a book I was reading (totally unrelated) that had stirred my interest. The …
Land of the Dead, movie (2005)

Dead Mans Shoes (2004)
I was just about to go to bed when I thought I would watch the first ten minutes of ‘Dead Man’s Shoes’ to see what it was like. I thought it was probably just a silly, violent action film or something but I spent the rest of the …
Robin Hood Movie (2010)
