Monty Python and the Holy Grail
There is only one word to describe this movie and that is weird. I have never seen a movie as strange as this one before. I had thought it was supposed to be a comedy but I found nothing funny in it at all. I fail to see the …
Sense and Sensibility movie
Based on the novel by Jane Austen. I have not read the book, so I don’t know how it compares to the book, but it is a wonderful movie filled with twists and turns, heartbreak, and of course, like all her novels, a happy ending. I plan on picking …
Affair in Monte Carlo movie
I was very surprised by my reaction to Affair in Monte Carlo, which I found to be a very compelling movie. In spite of the soap opera type of theme, I was hooked for the greater portion of the movie. There were, however, a few slow moments, …
Perfect Stranger (R, 2007) movie
It took me a while to get around to seeing Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry. When I saw the previews, I immediately thought there would be gratuitous nudity or sex scenes, like in Monster\’s Ball, or other films featuring the pretty actress. But this one was …

Alien Vs. Predator: The First Movie
Being a huge Alien and Predator fan, I had always wanted to see if a crossover movie could actually work between these two powerhouses. I remember a few years ago, before the plans for the current first AVP movie, hearing about how there were plans to make such a …

The New Daughter movie
I saw this movie starring Kevin Costner. Based on IMDB, the movie is a thriller, with 5.4 rating. So I decided to see it, probably give it a chance, since I have great respect for the actor who stars in it.
Okay so this was the typical I-got-divorced-and-now-I-moving-to-another-house story. Kevin …
Unknown, Simon Brand Movie
Five men awakened in a building with a different position, there is a severe injury, some bound, but the fifth person this certainly does not know either how to be in their place or who will bring them. Meanwhile, a woman who is believed to one of the wives …
Bratz
When we rented the movie Bratz, we figured it would be something our daughter would enjoy since she collects the toys. Turns out, she didn’t even watch five minutes of this live-action film and my wife and I were left with the feeling we’ve seen it before.
The movie focuses …
American Gun
I was a bit surprised that I did not hear about this movie when it was being released in theatres. However, I realised later that it was probably because I was a bit busy at the time. I thought that this movie had some fairly good acting in it …

Bride of Chucky (Child Play 4) movie
Starring;
Jennifer Tilly (Tiffany), Brad Dourif (Chucky-voice), Katherine Heigl (Jade), Nick Stabile (Jesse), Alexis Arquette (Damien), Gordon Michael Woolvett (David), John Ritter (Chief Kincard)
My goodness, Chucky should be placed next to Freddy Krueger! The faces of nightmares and bad dreams you could just imagine stumbling upon …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I recently caught this Spanish movie Pan’s Labyrinth. A “fairy tale” set in the backdrop of WW2, in the mountains of Spain where the Facist regime was trying to stamp out the rebellion and the Allies were waging war against the Nazis in Europe.
The fairy tale line is about …
Saw V - Jigsaws Past

Netflix
I’ve taken the time to review Netflix before and still remain as big of a fan of the company as I was months ago.
But, I recently purchased a new computer and because of that, I was able to unlock the full potential of the Netflix site. If I was …

School Ties
It is very difficult to find four great and known actors in one movie; however “School Ties” managed to do this by putting together at that time emerging actors such as Brendan Fraser, Chris O’Donnell, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
What I really liked about School Ties is the fact …
Batman Begins
Batman Begins is the second best comic book movie ever made; surpassed only by its sequel, The Dark Knight. This is a bold statement to make considering how many comic movies that have been made including all the Spider-Mans, Fantastic Four, and the older Batman movies. I …
Life Size
This movie, Life Size is an unlikely acting duo from Lindsay Lohan and Tyra Banks. I bet not many people have watched this on movies nor DVD before, right..? In fact, I wouldn’t even realize its existence had it not been for my sweet of a cousin who …
Movie : She’s All That (1999)
I have a pretty good and fair deal with my wife as far as movie watching goes. She will watch just about anything with me, which is usually a lot. And every now and then I have to sit through a chick flick type of film with her. Over …
Kentucky Fried Movie
I was a teenager when I first saw the Kentucky Fried Movie and I remember thinking how it was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.
Now, when I watch it, I still think it’s mildly entertaining but it’s not one that I’m overly impressed by.
The whole concept of …

Back To The Future
Everyone wishes they could go back in time to straighten out family disfunctions. But as this movie shows, if you aren’t too careful, things could turn out worse than before.
This tight, well written script by Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale, who teamed up previously on 1941, was a joy …

When In Rome Movie (2010)
If you’re looking for a romantic comedy just like Letters to Juliet, then this movie is even better! This has so much comedic parts actually than romantic parts while the setting is set in the lovely country of Rome. The plot is actually about a girl (Kristen Bell) who …

Larry the cable guy: health inspector
This was an overall pretty good movie. It was pretty funny for the most part also. I enjoyed watching the movie. It wasn’t one of my favorite movies but it’s worth watching. It’s a nice movie to watch when there is nothing else on television or on a day …

The Charles Dickens Collection (BBC Video)
I have bought this recently released boxed set of DVD’s on Amazon.com for $42, which I think is quite a bargain for 6 great movies. I am a huge Dickens fan, I’ve been hunting for different movie versions of his different stories for years, so this 2005 BBC release …
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen A&E
I believe the best movie version of Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice is by A&E. I’ve read the book, and the A&E version holds very close to Austin’s work. I hate when movie directors and film writers believe they have to make the classic their own, by making …
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhod Episode 20

The Extra Man movie 2010
At one point I wondered why there aren’t more eccentric characters in one film. The answer is that they not occur. It seems that you can not cram a young English teacher with bizarre sexual inclinations, an old bearded playwright gigolo and a mechanic with a high voice who …
“Color Me Blood Red” (1965 Film)
During the early to mid ’60s, renowned horror film writer/director Herschell Gordon Lewis created the “splatter” sub-genre of horror. The third installment to a set of three definitive splatter films, known as “The Blood Trilogy”, Color Me Blood Red kept the “blood” theme going strong. After viewing the film, …
Where The Wild Things Are movie
Where the Wild Things Are was a truly disappointing movie. It was rambling and didn’t seem to have any direction.
I think the problem is that it’s an adaptation of a picture book. It would have worked better as possibly a thirty minute animated film. …
Murder by Numbers Movie
Murder by Numbers starring Sandra Bullock was worth watching once, but I just could not bare sitting through the movie a second time. The movie takes a fascinating look at a homicide detective struggling with her own demons as she attempts to solve a seemingly perfect murder plot. The …
Movie: Airplane II
I had a longer lunch yesterday than usual and ended up being able to watch the movie Airplane II: The Sequel.
It had been a while since I saw the movie so it was almost as though I was seeing it for the first time. And, after seeing it, I …
Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is a feel good movie that never fails to bring on smiles and feelings of delight. It’s the theatrical movie that set Patrick Swayze’s stardom on fire and gave us the line, “No one puts Baby in a corner”.
Frankly, I’ve never liked that line and I …
Broken Bridges movie
“Broken Bridges” has a good story with great potential in attracting a great audience, however something along the line failed. The acting is awful, the filming and editing is sadly not good enough and the sound of this movie is terrible! In other words, this movie sucks!
Why did I …

Unlikely Angel movie
Unlikely Angel is a holiday movie from 1996 which stars Dolly Parton as a rather selfish country music performer (aside from the selfish part, not a big stretch … again) who dies suddenly. Being egotistical, Ruby Diamond can’t enter Heaven without doing a good deed first, so it’s …
