Jammed with magic and ancient times with myths and legends, the 1998 film “Merlin” is a film that many people can really get involved in. However, viewers should take caution in knowing that the film can seem to be dragging on from time to time. But Sam Neil does …

The best words that describe the movie I Do (But I Don’t) is that it is a similar version of Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey movie The Wedding Planner. I believe that in comparision I Do (But I Don’t), although it has a great interpreation from the main actors, …

This strange passion - or “El”, as it is better known - is one my of favorite films by Luis Bunuel. It is about a middle aged man who suffers from paranoia. This disease (as I would call it) is masterfully portraited by Buñuel here, using his own surrealist …

Notting Hill tells a rather unlikely yet pleasant love story of Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) a movie star and William Thacker (Hugh Grant), a modest guy who works in a bookstore. I enjoyed this movie. Grand is very likeable as the good-hearted, honest William. Julia Roberts does a good …

I really enjoyed this movie about teenage cheerleaders and the competition they enter to be in a music video. While the movie may seem to be about cheerleading and winning, the story also has a great heart about friendship.
The cheerleading moves in this movie are amazing. I have …

The reason I tuned into Pandora’s Clock, a 1996 TV movie, was because it starred Richard Dean Anderson, who is one of my favorite performers. I’ll start with the girlish stuff and get that out of the way. In a uniform, Anderson is yummy. He just …

I am very skeptical about remakes, and since the original The Parent Trap was one of my all time favorite family films, when I saw the remake arriving on the scene in 1998, I was concerned, big time. Happily, though, I found the remake to be delightful. It’s …

Easy-A is a teen-comedy that I found mildly interesting to watch, and only because it was aimed at my particular age group.
It’s very easy-to-watch and has a lot of teenage humour that can keep the interest, but of course without the topic of sex this wouldn’t really be worth …

This sleeper hit was about the Blackout that occurred in 2003 on the Northeast Seaboard. This movie was certainly hidden, because I’d never heard about it until I stumbled across it on Netflix. In any case, there aren’t too many big names. Sean Blakemore has a …

Although it is a bit long, without any doubt, this is absolutely one of my favourite horror movies by Stephen King. With seemingly little effort, he manages to convey suspense from one end of this outstanding movie right through to the other as our imaginations run the gamut.

From 2004, Nothing is about two guys who think the world away to near nothingness. I will say off the top that the opening writing material that is on the screen brings on early chuckles. The writing proclaims that the movie is absolutely true. It’s an …

Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown has quite a few well known names in it, including several famous folks who play themselves. It’s a unique setup for the murder of the movie where the guilty party uses a poker game as part of his alibi, not that it works. …

Avatar, Avatar, Avatar—¦. This movie has had an immeasurable amount of hype. The amount of hype backing this movie before release was absolutely insane. There were so many people excited for this movie and the trailers made it seem like this movie was going to blow our minds and …

It took me almost forever to get around to watching Poseidon even though it’s already been re-made and the original has been on the video store shelves for some time. It’s no Titanic, but it is still an interesting movie about people who try to survive a sinking ship.

I think I must have watched “Mickey Blue Eyes” endless times and I still keep watching it. What I like about it most is that it presents a very different perspective on how to portrait the mafia on the big screen. One can have no difficulty believing the mafia …

I keep seeing pictures of this movie in several sites I’ve been surfing and I got curious. Since this movie is from Disney, I didn’t expect it to be a ‘Hero story’. But they did a good job.
Starting from the design of ‘San Fransokyo’, it is a bit weird, …

Kick-Ass is one of my favourite films to come out of the last couple of years, mainly down to how unique it is and its fascinating analysis of a wannabe superhero.
This superhero is just an ordinary teenager, and the story shows that. You get a good back story to …

One of the most impressive movies that I’ve watched so far this year was “Django Unchained”, which I feel was surprising since when I watched the trailer, I never got the feeling that it might give The Hobbit a run for its money even though I knew it was …

Titanic is a movie that gets a lot of flack for being overrated and not deserving of the highest grossing movie of all time at right under $2 billion dollars. Now, while I agree it is not the greatest movie of all time, I still believe it to …

‘Flight of Phoenix’ is a movie directd by John Moore. In this movie, pilot Dennis Quaid’s flight crashes on a scorching sandy desert. All the actors play the parts of the survivors of the crash. They are parched and anxious. All these actors have performed their roles wonderfully well. …

The self-taught director Nicholas Roeg made the incredible beautiful and mysterious film called Walkabout in the early 1970s, and followed it up with this horrific film with diabolic undertones.

One of my very favorite made-for-TV movies is called City Beneath the Sea from 1971. It’s not a great movie in the scheme of Emmy winners, but it is a star-studded affair that has drama, romance, and mystery. I love it and find it to be a …

I watched the movie The Notebook some time ago and thought it was a pretty decent, unique movie. But, today, I ended up watching it again. I’m not sure why. But, I just didn’t like the film as much as I thought I did.

Here is yet another movie that I’ve been skipping over in my Netflix queue. I thought at first that because the film starred Elisha Cuthbert, that it would be one of those silly little flicks with little substance. Tween thrillers are very rarely that entertaining to …
