Movie: Haunting of Winchester House

The Ruins
We watched the movie The Ruins last night and, while I thought it was going to be one of those B-rated horror films that neither scares you or entertains you, I was surprised to find out it wasn’t half bad.
The movie is about a bunch of college kids who …
All the Kind Strangers movie
All the Kind Strangers from 1974 is one of those really weird movies that just doesn’t have much value in my opinion. If, and that is a big if, there is a message, it’s something about helping children who have no one in the world to guide them. …
Screwballs, comedy film
Before American Pie was known as a classic there was Screwballs. This movie shaped what we now know as the modern teenage flick, a group of guys making a pact together and trying to follow through during the rest of the movie. A simple movie idea that is full …

Ali movie
Will Smith appears as the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay in this film by Michael Mann. Will Smith is actually very convincing in this serious role, although I personally think he’s more suited for humoristic roles. From the first to the last scene of this film feels …
Jack and Jill (movie)
The first time I had heard of the movie “Jack and Jill” was when I had seen the trailer posted on youtube a little before the movie was released. I wasn’t particularly interested in it then, especially since a couple of people who had watched it in the theatres …

Avatar 3D
Avatar 3D is in my opinion one of the best science-fiction movies ever made. With stunning graphical detail, excellent actors and a well-thought-out plot, Avatar 3D should definitely win its share of awards and collect millions at the box office.
The “avatars” in the movie, blue creatures with …
Life As We Know It Movie (2010)

Moana - Disney animation movie

Alien 3
Perhaps the entry into the franchise that divides opinion more than most; Alien 3 legacy is as evolving as the planning stages that originally promised such an elaborate and original tale.

Wedding Crashers (2005 Movie)

My Super Ex-Girlfriend
Ok, I’ll admit it, when My Super Ex-Girlfriend came out, I thought it was going to be stupid. That’s why I didn’t see it at the theater or even rent it on DVD.

The thing I …
Hotels for Dogs Movie
I think this is a really cute wholesome movie; it features a lot of dogs and if you’re a dog lover (or an animal lover) you should watch this, other than that, if you’re not and you can’t appreciate loving pets, then don’t watch. This movie features Emma Roberts …
Deception, Marcel Langenegger Movie
Plot taken for the film is simple, namely on guile someone to lie to other people and I think that is very interesting, packed by the director. Hugh Jackman combination with Erwan McGregor is very good and can offset one with the other.
This story started when Jonathan McQuarry …
Over Her Dead Body
I decided to watch “Over Her Dead Body” because I read about the movie story and thought it was an interesting one. After watching it, I ended up disappointed because the movie fails to win over the audience. The comic moments in this romantic comedy are simply half baked!

Penelope (movie)
One of the first movies that I remember recognising the actor James McAvoy in was Penelope, which was released in 2006. He’s one of those actors whose movies I will always take a chance with , and that was one of the main reasons why I even decided to …
