All the President’s Men
I’m not into politics much at all, but like most of America, I was glued to much of the Watergate hearings. All the President’s Men is the story of how we got to that point, and it’s superbly done. I remember when I first saw it in …
What happens in Vegas (the movie)
After a long, long time I went to the cinema again to see the movie What happens in Vegas, with Ashton Kutcher as Jack and Cameron Diaz as Joy, two different people with two different sets of troubles who accidently meet in Vegas. I was looking to see a …
Seven (1995)
Seven (1995) is a drama film from director David Fincher and is rated R by the MPAA for grisly afterviews of horrific and bizarre killings, and for strong language.
Seven is a film that follows a man named Somerset (Morgan Freeman), a retiring police detective, as he experiences his final …
Elle (2016 Foreign Film)
I am actually surprised at my film choices this year. I am now definitely heading to the real “film buff” road. Last night I choose to watch yet another foreign film that premiered this year called “Elle”. I wouldn’t have dared to watch this film had been there no buzz …
Spectre (2015 James Bond Film)
A lot of people I knew were very excited to see the movie Spectre as soon as it was released. While my excitement didn’t necessarily reach their level, I was certainly curious to see what it would be about since my interest in James Bond movies had been rekindled over …
Runaway Bride (1999)
Runaway Bride, another movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts (because who can forget Pretty Woman), features a cast full of recognizable tv actors and actresses. In fact, one of the actors with a small role as a friend of Ike’s is also in Pretty Woman. (I like him, …
Evan Almighty
I watched this movie yesterday. It’s the second to Bruce Almighty. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. In the previews it looked kind of stupid to me. I enjoyed watching the movie though. There were no parts that were hilarious to me but there …
The Wave movie
A corny film usually screened in schools about a teacher on a high school trying to figure out an effective way of making his students understand what it was like living in Germany during World War II and how easily people are corrupted into things they don’t really want …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
As a big Harry potter fan I went to see the motion picture Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the local movie theatre. However I must say that I am disappointed. David Yates does not do justice to the book at all. I see it as …
Chicken Little (2005)
Walt Disney studios present the story of a chicken who comes with claims that the sky is falling when something fell from the sky and hit him on the head. Because of his past, no one readily believes him when he first tells them of this occurrence. Wanting to …
Avatar: Movie
I thought Avatar was a fantastic film, fully meeting my expectations and then some with its brilliantly produced content.
It is the films special effects that have been praised more than anything, and I have to agree with the general consensus when I say that James Cameron has done a …
Last of the Pony Riders (1953 Movie)
B-westerns may not be everyone’s cup of tea, to some they may seem a bit hokey, and when the film in question is not only a b-western, but a singing cowboy adventure as well, then the audience narrows even further. All of that taken into consideration, Last of the …
Star Wars: Episode 3- Revenge of the Sith
OK, so I absolutely bashed the first two prequels in the series. And while Episode 3 does deserve some hate, it’s not near the level of hate I gave to the first two. Hayden Christiansen still can’t act and he and Natalies relationship is still one of …
Grandview USA movie
1984’s Grandview USA stars Patrick Swayze and Jamie Lee Curtis as high school friends who discover love many years later. Surprisingly, Swayze and Curtis do well together. It’s not a pair I would normally think of, but they work for the way in which their characters are …
Movie 50 First Dates
I decided to buy the movie “50 First Dates”, after watching the trailer and seemed to be interesting; however in the end I was very disappointed due to the fact that this movie must represent the worst interpretation from actors, Adam Sandlers and Drew Barrymore.
“50 First Dates” includes some …
Tom Dick and Harry (movie) May, 2006
Tom Dick and Harry is a filthy movie. I watched it yesterday on cable TV. This movie released on 12th of May 2006. The movie is directed by Deepak Tijori. It is his yet another stupid venture of directing a film. Well the movie casts Dino Morea playing …

Night and the City Movie
I had some free time this weekend while hanging out with my youngest daughter (it was raining out or I would have taken her outside instead). While taking care of her, I ended up watching a movie from the 1950s, Night and the City.
I had heard of this movie …
Robin Hood
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Robin Hood. Everyone knows the story of Robin Hood, but what would happen if it was taken from a fox’s perspective? That’s what the whole Disney version does. Robin Hood is a fox and his friend, Big John, is a huge bear. The …
John Fawcett’s 2001 horror / comedy film “Ginger Snaps”
I don’t like horror movies as a rule. “The Sixth Sense” gave me nightmares for weeks, and I can’t even watch trailers of gore films, unless I’m trying to get unhealthy blood adrenalin levels. Therefore, it took my friend a lot of effort to emotionally blackmail me into watch …
Thor (2011) Movie
I have for a long time been an amateur of legendary or epic figures, and especially those present in the Norse culture. For this very reason, I was unsure about watching this movie, being afraid that it might be more in the Hollywood style and not reflect the true …
Avatar, movie (2009)
Like nearly everyone else at the time Avatar came out, I entered the theater with high expectations that were blown up by well-done trailers and shining reviews. The artistry within the CGI seemed so phenomenal, and the teases for the story seemed interesting. So perhaps my disappointment with …
Aquamarine movie
When I first saw the movie Aquamarine being advertised to be released in theatres I was eager to see it since it looked like a very cute children’s movie which even I might be interested in seeing. When I watched it I wasn’t disappointed either since I didn’t think …
Race to Witch Mountain - (starring Dwayne Johnson)
Race to Witch Mountain is a brilliant movie that I recommend most of you out there to watch. It is clean, the script and dialogs are also clean and the cast an amazing one. Starring Dwayne Johnson and the brilliant and smart kids in the movie too, whom …

Movie: The Girl Next Door
I liked “The Girl Next Door” the first time I watched it, but I really enjoyed it more the second time around. I liked it so much, I actually bought it on DVD! I got a good deal, so even though I don’t feel the need to …

Family Guy - Something Something Dark Side
Empire Strikes Back was my least favorite of all the original Star Wars films, so I didn’t know if I would like the Family Guy version of it. Since they stayed pretty true to the first movie, A New Hope, I …

What is interesting about this movie is that the two young …

After the tremendous success of The Trouble with Angels, Mother Superior and her nuns are back with Where Angels Go Trouble Follows! Now, it’s a decent sequel, one of the few movie sequels that can almost approach the original. The difference is that while the performers here …

What I liked about this movie: The plot of this 1993 film is clever and funny. You have a woman who seems perfect in every way. But, she is …
Private Lives of Pippa Lee film
I was really pleasantly surprised by this film. I watched it on my Virgin on Demand service - I was basically browsing for an easy, fun, romantic comedy and thought this fit the bill from the description.
It’s not just a ‘chick flick’ or your predictable Romcom though.
First off, our …

The Mask
One of my favourite movies from the mid nineties is a movie called “The Mask” starring the actors Jim Carey and Cameron Diaz. I still think that it was one of Jim Carey’s best movies and it was the best I had seen actress Cameron Diaz look in a …
Dan in Real Life
I love going to the cinema. I love the whole experience. Seeing the film on the big screen, eating hot dogs and popcorn and drinking soft drinks. For me the entire experience is enjoyable and I’ve sat through some fairly mediocre films just because i enjoy going to the …

Perkins14 movie
Although I’ve read a lot of good reviews about this movie, I wouldn’t even rate it as average. Instead, I would give it a rating of below average because even though the movie itself wasn’t completely atrocious, I still think that it was somewhat disappointing. This was because I …
Show Boat musical
It took me a long time to actually get through Show Boat in one sitting, and while I agree it’s a classic motion picture, for some reason I don’t watch it that often. It’s another musical that features Howard Keel, and for some reason, his pictures are ones …
