Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I viewed Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on HBO. I found the fifth Harry Potter film to be the darkest of them. Possibly, because of Harry’s general anger in this film.
I actually liked the movie better than the book. I am normally the type …
The Usual Suspects
The Usual Suspects is in my opinion, one of the best and most clever movies of all time. It’s one of those movies where you don’t really fully understand what is happening until the very last frame. The story (which one an oscar for best screenplay) is …

While searching the internet one day to see if there were cheaper movie theatres in my city that I didn’t know about. I came upon Ridgmar Movie Tavern. I had seen this place and drove by it many times but had never went in.
I decided to give Ridgmar …
Alligator (1980)
I have yet to see a ‘killer croc’ film that I could imagine myself watching again. Why are there so many b-movies that involve galled gators munching on mortified men and women? The market is saturated. I had forgotten that there is one flick worth watching …
Sublime Movie
Sublime is quite possibly the oddest movie I have ever seen in my life. Once the movie ended, I was left feeling very confused and still trying to figure out what happened. Sometimes that is a good thing, like in Momento, but it wasn’t a good thing in this …
Movie Legend
I am reviewing the movie called Legend. It stars Tom Cruise(Jack), Mia Sara(Lilly), and Tim Curry as the Lord of Darkness.
The story is about good and evil competing against each other: a classic. A movie about a young girl’s innocence.
I think of this as a childrens’ movie but …

Love and a .45 (1994)
“Love and a .45″ is an absolutely fantastic movie in my book and I have watched it dozens of times over the years. This film has its flaws, but overall is an excellent way to pass the time. There is action, drama, and comedy all rolled into one that …
Kung Fu Panda
I was really excited about this movie right before it was shown in theaters. Because just the thought of a Panda doing Kung Fu? his weight, clumsiness, and incredibly large tummy and the dream of becoming a Kung Fu master.It’s quite hilarious right?How would someone be doing Kung Fu …
The Marine
Typically, when you get a movie that stars a professional wrestler, you can expect something that is going to go out of its way to show off his muscles, put him in plenty of fight scenes and fill in the background with as many explosions as possible.
The movie, …

Mama (supernatural horror movie)
“Mama” might was not a very good or frightening horror movie. In actuality I actually thought that it came off as quite boring, predictable and cliche at times. I am one of Guillermo del Toro’s fans and I expected a lot more from a movie associated with him even …

Hitman: Agent 47, 2015 Action/Thriller Movie
I have always loved the Hitman franchise, and after watching the trailer of this movie, my expectations were at apex. It is the reboot of the 2007 film “Hitman”. Unfortunately, i am disappointed from this movie. It made the original movie film look like a masterpiece. The filmmakers tried to …
The Day After Tomorrow
There have been many, many movies from Hollywood which have told us exactly how we’ll die off as a human race. None took so much meaning for the time as The Day After Tomorrow. It showed what effects the weather would have on our climate. We tend to think …

“To Kill a Mockingbird” (1962)
“To Kill a Mockingbird” is an excellent movie based on the Pulitzer Prizewinning novel by Harper Lee. Screenplay is by Horton Foote. Like all good movies it can be viewed on various levels, but I tend to think of it as a childhood memoir. The movie is told from …
Bee Season
After embracing Buddhism, the actor Richard Gere is getting very attentive which movies to be involved in. In all honestly, I am not surprised that he chose to particate in “Bee Season”. The biggest surprise was that this is not a Gere or Juliet Binochet movie, but solely a …
Horrible Bosses 2 (comedy movie)
I was one of those people who actually thought that the movie Horrible Bosses was funny. Therefore, when I heard that there was going to be a sequel, was looking forward to seeing what they would do with it. However watching it was a different story. While it had a …
Movie Public Enemies
I am a huge Johnny Depp fan, and also love historically-based movies. I looked forward to seeing Public Enemies, a movie starring Johnny Depp and Marion Cotillard (another of my favourite actresses), because I had read a lot about John Dillinger, the famous bank robber during the Depression years. …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I love movies! Especially movies about spies! They’re so action packed, so cool and the spies themselves are so hot! Well most of them are. That was my first impression when I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s trailer for the first time. I was totally blown away!
The plot is …
We Need to Talk about Kevin (movie)

Charlie’s Angels
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Charlie’s Angels. The last version I watched was the sequel, which I hated, so it was refreshing to see the original again.
While some parts of the movie are a bit dumb, this film, overall, isn’t too bad.
You have an all …
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 …
Movie: Rear Window (the original)
Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window is a great movie by the master of suspense movies! The acting is phenomenal as it stars Grace Kelly (so beautiful!) and Jimmy Stewart (one of my favorite actors). Jimmy Stewart plays a character who has broken his leg and is in a wheelchair and …

The Goonies (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “The Goonies” is one that I have now referred to as an “addiction film”. What I mean by that term is simply this, that the film (for reasons unknown) is one that I cannot help but fall in love with. From the cast of misfits who …
Fried Green Tomatoes (starring Kathy Bates)
Fried Green Tomatoes is a powerful, sweeping movie starring Kathy Bates, Mary Louise Parker, Mary Stuart and Jessica Tandy. I call this movie my “Girl Power” movie. Watch it with your sisters and mom. A very good content story and if this is made into a book, …
Red Cliff movie
The title of the movie does not give away much about the movie itself, although it will give you an idea that it is a place or location which will be significant in the movie.
Basically, this is a war movie set in ancient China wherein a very powerful Prime …

I was very excited to see the Adjustment Bureau. I am usually a fan of Matt Damon’s work because he is a very solid actor and has done movies that I have enjoyed in the past. Emily Blunt, although a much newer addition the Hollywood scene has also proven …
