Movie “The Spell” (1977)
I love the 1970’s for it’s hilarious horror movies. I doubt I could ever find and watch them all. Hulu and Netflix have been great resources for me for hilarious horror movies from the ’70’s. What they considered horror is not at all what we think …

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 27

Doubt (PG13, 2008)
I have been skipping over Doubt on my Netflix list, because quite frankly, I couldn’t tell what the movie was about. And when I looked at the synopsis, I couldn’t really get a grip on the gist of the film. It seemed like some kind of …
The Flintstones
As far my concern it is one of the best classic cartoon series ever made by “Hannah-Barbara”. I am watching “The Flintstones” from my childhood, and till now I like to watch it. It is really different from any other carton show. It is a story about a stone …

Noises Off movie
Noises Off
This is what I consider to be one of the best and one of my favorite comedies of all time. A Broadway play gone wrong. If you were sitting in a front row seat, you couldn’t help but to just die laughing. When it comes to stage plays …
Kingsman: The Secret Service
‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ is an action comedy film. It’s a film that has been done extremely well and it was truly a treat to have been able to watch it in theatres. There’s enough action and comedy in the movie to ensure that boredom doesn’t set it. The storyline …
Citizen Kane Movie
Time and again Citizen Kane gets selected as “the best film ever made” on different listings. There is so much to say about the genius Orson Welles’ debut film, but I’ll restrict myself to the most important points and my own view. The film is a very complex story …
Kung Fu Hustle movie
For me, finding a good comedy is kind of like walking through a mine field. I’m not guaranteed of getting across in finding a great, hilarious movie and I am more than likely to step on a mine and hit some very unfunny, poorly-written duds. That is why I …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is from the makers of and Knocked up. It stars Jason Segel as Peter, Kristen Bell as Sarah Marshall, and Mila Kunis then abunch of Judd Apatow regular cast members. I’m not sure why Seth Rogan couldn’t do this movie, so they just decided …

Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a great comedy movie. I think the acting and characters were just great in this film! I think this is probably Adam Sanlder’s best work since The WaterBoy. Now I really liked the whole storyline about how he inherits tons of money and gets rich. Mr. Deeds …
The Mist movie
Normally I do not care for horror movies and have never really sat down and watched any Stephen King movies. But when my boyfriend asked me to watch “The Mist” with him, I could not turn down the opportunity to spend quality time with him. So I …

Germany Year Zero
Legendary filmmaker Roberto Rossellini, one of the leading men of the neorealist movement in post-war Italy, completed around 40-50 films during his career. Sadly, only few of these are available to a modern audience, most have been lost or badly damaged during the years. Germany Year Zero is probably …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Movie (2014)
“The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” is a decent effort by director Peter Jackson to wrap up the trilogy based on the novel, ‘The Hobbit’. Now I use decent very loosely as it falls far below the quality of the first two installments in the trilogy. When I watched …
Dallas Season 9 DVD
A lot of people knock this particular season of DALLAS but it really isn’t all that bad. Actually, the only knock it because of what happens in season 10. Ok, let’s explain what this is all about: in the previous season, Patrick Duffy left Dallas to seek other pursuits. He …

The Happening movie

Madagascar movie

The Scotiabank Theater come up …

Honesty and having the option to tell peole the complete truth is always taken for granted. The act of lying is being done way more than it should and things need to be changed. That is the main theme Joel Schumacher was trying to create while directing the movie …

A film about a crew of actors in Poland during the outbreak of World War II and the german occupation. The film is all american production with actors like Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft, and that takes away a lot of the credibility to be honest. If they were …

X-Men The Last Stand
I finally got to watch the third movie in the X-men trilogy, X-Men The Last Stand. Overall, it was a decent film, but it should have been called Wolverine’s big movie.
The movie promised all the characters from the first two films, and it delivered. However, many of the main …

The Unsinkable Molly Brown movie
As movie musicals go, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is unsinkable. It’s a marvelously well done movie with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell in the leads. As for being biographical on the real Molly Brown, many liberties were taken. We get a wonderful happy ending here, but …

Upright Citizens Brigade The Complete First Season DVD
Between 1998 and 2000 the Upright Citizens Brigade were one of the funniest sketch shows on TV. In fact the only sketch show that comes to mind that could match (and often times beat) the UCB for creativity or humor was HBO’s Mr. Show with Bob and David.
Unfortunately …

Road to Morocco movie
The Road pictures continue with this third outing from 1942 called Road to Morocco. As with the first two films, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour starred. It was that same old formula, too, but that isn’t a bad thing in the case of this movie.
One of …

I think “I am legend” is one of the quiet movies, because along the first hour, i just saw a will smith as the center of this movie. It seems that he is the only actor in this movie. In the scene, he shows his self centered. The script …

Movie “The Lazarus Project” (2008)
This movie was meant to be a psychological thriller but it was not. Sure there was a twist in it, but I did not feel much thrill or suspense in watching it at all. To be really honest it was boring and slow.
The main character, Ben, commits …

The Time Travelers Wife movie
I found this movie to be too odd to be very good. The thought behind the whole movie was very unique but because of so many weird things it just made the movie not as good as it could have been.
The first thing I didn’t like was that …
Zootopia 2016 Animated Comedy Movie
I first saw the trailer for the animated movie Zootopia when I went to the movies to watch something else. At the time I got the impression that it wasn’t really going to be anything more than a very funny children’s movie perhaps with one or two parts that adults …
