Skyfall is an action film for the action hater. Wait! Action lovers, don’t turn away yet. It’s James Bond —“ of course this film has action. I’m saying it’s got more than just action. It’s got action and then some. That’s why I, the action hater, really enjoyed it. …
Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey (1988 Film)
The 1988 film starring Sigourney Weaver called “Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey” was something that surprised me. Normally, I am not one to really enjoy films such as these, but this film changed my mine towards movies that capture the real life events of people …

Sinister (movie)
I didn’t know anything about the movie “Sinister” until I went to see “End of Watch” in the movie theatres and saw it advertising. Based on what I had seen in the trailer, I knew immediately that I had wanted to see it in the theatres with a friend …

If I can take any one thing from the new hit movie “New Moon” it would be that it is a noble, valiant thing to kill yourself over a lost loved one. What an epiphany! Actually, i am somewhat offended at the vast love people seem to have for …

An American Christmas Carol (1979). a movie
Normally, I don’t appreciate it when classic stories are being messed with, modernized, turned into musicals, etc. However, this attempt to Americanize the beloved Christmas story by Charles Dickens somehow turned out all right. Based, of course, on “A Christmas Carol,” this movie transforms the Victorian London into America’s …
Park (R, 2006) movie
I rented this unwittingly believing that this would be a quirky and fun little film. What surprised me more than anything was the movie’s ability to bore me to pieces within the first few minutes. I should have known that if Ricki Lake was in …
Bend it like Beckham (2002)
I think this is the very first movie I saw that starred Keira Knightley and trust me; it wasn’t all that great to launch her career as a serious Hollywood actress. This movie is based on a girl football oops, my bad soccer team and the trials that they …
The Brother From Another Planet
If you’re looking for a really bad black comedy film from the 70s and early 80s, don’t hesitate to watch the 1984 movie The Brother from Another Planet.

Center Stage Movie
I had watched this movie for the first time and my first thought was like, where did these people come from? The next thought that followed was that, why aren’t they famous, they should be! Upon watching Center Stage, this is the perfect movie for ballerinas, may the be …

3:10 to Yuma-the Removie (2007)
I like westerns very much and am always pleased when Hollywood makes another one with a high budget and good actors. I enjoyed “3:10 to Yuma”-the removie very much. I found it believable and superior to the original. “3:10 to Yuma” is a Relativity Media production, a company that …

Bad Boys 2, movie
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence did it so well the first time, that I couldn’t wait to see them reprise their roles as Drug Agents working for the Miami P.D. However, this film was lacking the story and power of the first, but it still had enough chemistry between …
Sleepless in Seatle (movie)

Overall it was an alright movie. It’s nothing like I thought it was going to be. It would be an alright movie to watch on a rainy day but if you are looking for a really good movie I wouldn’t choose this one. It did keep me some what …
Transporter 3
I must say that the —˜Transporter’ films are my favourite Jason Statham’s movies together with ‘The Bank Job’. I believe that with ‘Transporter 3′ the director, Olivier Megaton and writers, Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen managed to put together the right ingredients that made this movie series so …
28 Weeks Later The Movie
Another zombie movie that has its mind boggling puzzle on how it started because nobody explained what really happened as the movie started when the virus has been contained and has spread through out the land.
I just don’t understand why they needed to repopulate when in fact nothing in …

You Can’t Run Away From It movie
I’m not sure if I’ve seen You Can’t Run Away From It before or not. It’s vaguely familiar, but not readily in my brain. Of course, it could be the basic story that rings in my head since this is a musical remake of the classic, “It …

Godzilla: Final Wars
Godzilla: Final Wars is a Godzilla movie that is quite different in style compared to previous installments in the series. The movie seems to try and emulate popular Hollywood movies like the Matrix while taking a page out of a previous entry in the series, namely the movie Destroy …
