I remember the movie Wise girls staring Mariah Carey, Mira Sorvino and Melora Walters being filmed in Halifax, Nova Scotia some years back. Recently I got to rent the DVD, and realized what all the commotion had been about.
Halifax, doubles as Rhode Island, and does a good double! I …

Let me first start off by saying that I am a big fan of the Harry Potter books and was excited to see these movies. I was ready to see all of these characters I had been imagining in my head hit the big screen. All of …

I am afraid that I could not help comparing this movie all the way through to Nine and a Half Weeks, the 1987 erotic movie starring Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. Now that is an erotic movie and I (and my friends at the time too!) can totally …

Baby Mama is another new released movie that I’ve watched. I love the fact that my friend has some free passes since he works in the cinema line. I wouldn’t want to take advantage of his kindness but I really am a movie junkie and a book …

I originally thought this was a remake of the old Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines movie but soon realized it wasn’t. I decided to watch it anyway and have to admit it was pretty good. It was fast paced enough for me and I could even deal with the …

We went to see the first of the holiday movies of the season on Sunday. We saw the movie Fred Claus with Vince Vaughn playing Fred, St Nick’s older brother. Sanat is played very well by Paul Giamatti who acutually does everything absouletely perfectly, after all he is …

Unfortunatley, my girlfriend found it amusing to drag me out to the cinema to see High School Musical 3. While she found it very amusing, and very entertaining, I myself found it to be a load of cobblers. The film itself was very tacky, and seemed like it was …

As a kid I loved the old inspector gadget cartoons. They were the greatest thing to me and my friends and I used to play inspector gadget all the time. Thus when this movie came out I was relatively excited. I figured that if it was anything like …

Swing Hostess, a 1944 musical film, felt very much like a predecessor to Singing in the Rain to me. I thought of that almost all the way through, although it wasn’t the same story exactly.
One of the things I really liked about his movie was seeing how the …

Starring: John Cussack (Mike Enslin), Samuel L Jackson (Gerald Olin), Mary McCormack (Lily Enslin), Jasmine Jessica Anthony (Katie Enslin)
The movie had captivated my interest from the very beginning especially with so much buildup about a room, that I was ‘dying’ with curiosity just to have a …

The 1996 film starring Cheryl Ladd entitled “Vows of Deception” was an interesting, suspenseful and mysterious movie that, while it wasn’t the best film I have ever seen, was entertaining for the time I spent watching it. This was a Lifetime Movie Network movie, which is known to many …

I find that with mainstream movies there’s very little to talk about. I usually get information from the culture and arts section of many a magazine or newspaper and shy away from the hype. People continue to brood over the movie Under the Skin, despite that it …

I am reviewing the movie, Grumpier Old men starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. This movie is about what the title suggests: a couple of grumpy old men. Only this year, they’re grumpier. These men are both friends and rivals, and their rivalry will have you laughing …

I saw this movie Death at the Funeral, the British version, a few years ago. it was really funny and filled with surprises. When I heard that Death at the Funeral was being remade as an American film, I immediately wanted to see it too just to compare it …

Is it me, or is it a case that of late, every single movie that Jackie Chan stars in, he plays the role of a police officer or some other enforcement officer that happens to get caught on the wrong side of the law. I do not think it’s …

One of the movies that I realised that I underrated the most earlier on in the year was the one that went by the same name of a POD song called “Here Comes the Boom”. One of the reasons why I didn’t even consider watching it at the time …

I have a fascination of watching movies especially that are based on real that is the foremost reason that I ended up watching this film. This film is based on the 2010 San Jose Chile mining accident when a gold and copper mine collapsed and trapped 33 miners underground for …

I like the fact that Sandra Bullock in many of her films, usually plays a feisty but vulnerable sort of character, a real fighter, someone we can all relate to. “All About Steve” continues in this time honored tradition, rather like, “Miss Congeniality”. I was pleasantly surprised to find …

“Just promise that you will never fall in love with me”. A famous line from the movie Walk to Remember which stars Mandy Moore and Shane West. This is a sad love story but I really like it. At first I thought its just another ordinary love story wherein …

“Pathology” is directed Marc Schoelermann and is written by the man who wrote “Crank” but please don’t let that scare you off. As much as I hated “Crank” and anyone of those “Leave you brain at the door” films but I took a chance …

“Richie Rich” is one of the most known movies for the actor, Macaulay Culkin but his acting skills in this movie are in no way comparable to the “Home Alone” movies. Culkin has been nominated for the Razzie Awards for his interpretation in this movie.
I recently watched this movie …

One of those Hollywod mixtures between asian martial-arts and plain old-fashioned action that features Jet Li in the role of a cop in seek of revenge for his brother’s death. Every time someone is shot in this film, we see the audience penetrate the human flesh on some kind …

She’s dangerous!
And…She’s not ENTIRELY human!

I went into this movie expecting it to be busy. It was, but not at first. It started off very slowly, reintroducing the main characters and situations already familiar to us from the first two movies. But, with the preliminaries out of the way, things got rockin’, starting, I …

The Paranormal Activity movie was amazing. I took my girlfriend to see it and we were both freaked out. There were people in the theatre crying and throwing up.
The movie starts off with a couple that move in together and the boyfriend gets a high quality camera …

Four Christmases is an excellent movie I saw in theatres. It is a romantic comedy, with a bigger emphasis on the comedy. I really enjoyed it and I think most people would as well. It is a great film to see with a couple, family, or with friends. It …

Even though the “The Purge” movie franchise hasn’t exactly had the best ratings, I still continue to watch the movies because I like the concept. As a result, I only had minimal expectations before I watched The Purge: Election Year and it turned out to be every bit as bad …

“The Little Drummer Girl” as a film is perhaps to some not has compact in its storytelling as the best selling novel written by author John Le Carre. The adaptation of the novel to film does not reach the depth as to the audience member’s emotional response as …

I did not see this movie until some tinme after it was released. I didn’t even see it advertise and that could have been because I was a bit busy around the time it was released. However, after finding out about it I was a bit eager to watch …

Akira Kurosawa’s depiction of the classic Shakespeare play Macbeth moved to a japanese environment. Apparently Kurosawa was very clear on that fact that he wanted to make Throne of Blood a japanese film, and that the audience was supposed to feel the Shakespeare story was only in the background. …

I enjoyed watching Billy Elliot. This was a couple of years back but I watched it again recently, since my cousin has a copy of it. I came across it at her house the other day and thought of watching it again. A very moving, sweeping and …

Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …
