“Easy A” (2010 Film)
The 2010 comedy, “Easy A” was a teenage centered comedy that reflected some of the problems seen in the “Scarlet Letter”. While some of the problems faced by the chatacters in this film are very exagerated, the principle and message behind them are none the less impacting.
Emma Stone (from …
Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
Neither a brilliant film in its own right or high scorer in the genre, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue or Let Sleeping Corpses Lie as it is sometimes known, is a passable enough zombie movie that should prove watchable enough at least to any zombie fan. The story …
Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010 film)
With all the campaigns on the internet and coverage from the press, it was impossible to escape the urge to watch the film. It’s awards season and anyone ignorant not to know what “Black Swan” is must be living in a different planet. I didn’t think this …
You, Me and Duprey Movie
Yet another hilarious show centred to Kate Hudson, Matt Dillon and Owen Wilson. In this movie, Owen stars as Duprey, one without a proper job and only goes out to enjoying his life fully.
Because of circumstances, he had come to live with newly wed couple played by Matt and …

Meet the Robinsons looked like a cute movie from the start. When I saw the previews I could not wait to see the movie. Created by Disney I thought that it would be a wonderful addition to the collection. I did finally get to see and I was …

Uncommon Valor movie
In the early 80’s, I remember watching this movie about Marines going on some kind of special meeting. This was one of those movies that used to air a lot on late night television, long before cable came about for most of us. I loved the movie …
Frozen (2010 movie)
Earlier on this year someone recommended that I watch the suspense movie “Frozen”, which was released in 2010. It took me nearly a week to watch it since I was constantly busy and when I was free I really wasn’t in the mood to do anything else but sleep, …
Palookaville movie
Three male friends get bored with their everyday lives and all of a sudden decides to rob a bank. But not too unexpected, something doesn’t fall out as they would have hoped for.
I didn’t find this film uplifting or refreshing in any certain way. Mostly it’s just a copy …
Kate and Leopold Movie
This movie came out in 2001 but I just saw it like last week. My boyfriend was sitting at his computer and suggested that we watch this movie since he saw it a while back and really liked it. So we signed on to his Netflix on his Playstation …
Little Children (R, 2006) movie
I had been skipping this film over and over again in my Netflix queue. When it finally arrived, I was skeptical about whether I would like the movie. I understood that it was about suburban life, particularly two unhappy married people (married to other people) …
Empire Theatre New Minas, NS
We are often at this theatre, as we try to go for a movie night out together once a week. It is a very nice theatre and the location is great, in the heart of New Minas, on the main road, close to shopping and restaurants, and a nice …

Sleepy Hollow (1999 Film)
Who can forget the legend of Sleepy Hollow? And after watching the 1999 film “Sleepy Hollow” starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci, the blood and gore of the film (and the headless horsemen of course) make it difficult to. Though this film was made in the 90’s, and technology …
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994)
Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, is one of the best Frankenstein movies that has ever been made. This movie is so powerful that it moved me in a way that no other movie ever has. It stars Robert De Niro, who is an incredibly talented actor, as …
Hairspray (2007)
Popular Casts : John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christophe Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, Queen Latifah and Zac Efron.
First time I read the casts, I feel so afraid that I will be disappointed, because as my personal experience, movie with too many great actors and actresses always become a disaster …
Che: Part One, starring Benicio Del Toro
I had read a few reviews of the movie “Che” starring Benicio Del Toro, and most of them complained that it was too long at over 4 hours, and that it dragged on and was not interesting enough to hold the viewers’ attention for that long. The other night I …
Bingo (1991 movie)
The first time that I saw the movie “Bingo” was several years ago in either the late nineteen nineties or the early two thousands, and I was not very impressed with the movie. Even when I watched it a little more recently, I still was not impressed with it. …
Columbia House DVD
I had a very bad experience with Columbia House’s DVD club. Through this club, you are offred a certain number of DVDs at a discount as long as you buy a set amount of DVDs at regular price within a set amount of time. I signed up through a …
Pretty Persuasian movie
The film “Pretty Persuasion” is about some teen characters; however, not necessarily a film for teenagers solely. James Woods delivers a good performance as the protagonist’s father. He is also not the most terrible character of the movie’s personages however he comes in at a close second. …
The Undefeated movie
I have always loved The Undefeated. It’s a superb western starring John Wayne and Rock Hudson. The time is the end of the Civil War. Wayne plays John Henry Thomas, a colonel who takes the few remaining men who had enlisted with him to fight for …
The Romantics Movie
Yay! Josh Duhamel is starring in a new movie! I have loved him ever since watching him as Leo in “All My Children”. Can’t wait until the movie, “The Romantics” is released as it seems as if it has been such a long time since his last movie was …
Motherhood Motion Picture
I have enjoyed many of Uma Thurman’s movies over the years but this was sadly not one of her better ones. I had read negative reviews about this movie before I watched it and they were right. The acting and directing in this script were great. …

I Am Legend
I must admit, I have never been much of a Will Smith fan…until this movie. With so few human interaction scenes (for most of the movie, he is with a dog), he pulled off the lonely, depressed person very well. The storyline is amazing and, at the …

Death Race (2008 version)
Fast, furious and deadly these are the best words that describe the movie “Death Race” with Jason Statham in a very different role when compared to “Transporter” movies. This film is a remake of the 1975 movie “Death Race 2000″ which had the actors, David Carradine and …
Hostel Part II
Hostel Part II is damn unsettling. I was so scared out of my mind watching this, and I have a great reason for it. If those of you who have watched Hostel Part I before felt that the movie experimented with a clubhouse type of hostel sponsored …
Bewitched (2005 movie)
The single most dullest movie i’ve seen this year…It’s a complete flop. Some TV series are better off not being made into movies, and the cast was all wrong, so, so wrong. Not only is this film a bore but it’s also annoying (what’s with the blondes jumping up …
Dennis The Menace (The Movie)
Dennis the Menace was an adorable television show about a troublesome little boy. They turned it into an even more adorable movie. Dennis is still causing Mr. Wilson to become stressed out as he tries to help him and Mrs. Wilson is still telling him that Dennis is just …
Vamps (movie)
I watched the movie “Vamps” last night for the first time and I thought that it was one of the most interesting vampire movies that I’ve watched in a very long time. The funny thing was that I’ve never heard of the movie before last night, which is a …

The Man With The Golden Arm movie
This Otto Preminger classic features Frank Sinatra in his most famous movie part, as a gambling drug addict with a good heart who tries to hold his life together. An intense film that was controversial in its direct way of depicting drugs and drug addicts without putting any judgement …
The Outer Limits : “Essence of Life” episode
As I skimmed through the episodes of The Outer Limits on DVD, I ran across one that was only slightly less nauseating than some of the others. In “Essence of Life”, a mysterious vial of liquid possesses the ability to “reincarnate” the image of the deceased, if sniffed …

TMNT
I remember being a kid in third grade and absolutely loving the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles. They had a good cartoon, (or so I thought at that age) and made a few movies back then and some good money off their merchandising. Now in 2007, the turtle gang …
Movie I am legend
This movie couldn’t have been any better. I loved it. I think will smith did an amazing job especially with him being the only actor in it. You would think that it would have got boring and lost my interest with only one actor and not a whole lot …

Clue
I was flipping channels last night and came across a movie classic; Clue.
I rarely meet other people who enjoy this movie as much as I do; which is too bad considering I could watch this film 100 times in a row and never get tired of it.
What’s not to …
Godzilla 1954
Godzilla 1954 is so much better than the American release, Godzilla 1956. Godzilla 1954 was just recently released in America for the first time ever and it is an incredible film. Unlike the butchered American version which deleted scenes considered to horrific and removed other scenes in favor of …
The Barnyard animated film

Pretty In Pink
I loved Molly Ringwald as the pitiful Andie in Pretty In Pink. Actually, I never watched the movie but loved the song by the Psychedelic Furs of the same name. There was a bit of buzz about Pretty In Pink, the movie, so I sat down for a viewing. …
