I thought this show would be fun; it is not by far it is about a young boy with the makings of a …
Night of the Living Dead
Even though it was made in the 1960s, there really aren’t many movies that compare in terms of actual horror to the classic film Night of the Living Dead.
I was watching it this morning for about the 10th time and have to say it is one of the most …

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Movie)
I had heard and read a lot about The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus before I watched in on DVD yesterday. I have followed the director Terry Gilliam’s career from his Monty Python days, and have very much admired his somewhat strange and eccentric art and movies. I had also …

Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the crystal Skull
With much hype surrounding such releases as Prince Caspian and Wanted, Indiana Jones without a doubt tops the list as the most anticipated and most wanted film of 2008 thus far, and perhaps of the entire 2008 to come. Was this mere hype that the man was returning after …
The Stepford Wives Movie
When I was younger, I read Ira Levin’s “The Stepford Wives” in its original novel form. I found the entire concept of these too-perfect housewives and this picture-perfect town to be very creepy, in a really fun, dark sort of way. So I was rather excited when “The Stepford …
Blockbuster Total Access By Mail
I have had Blockbuster Total Access by mail for three months now and I love it. It is way cheaper than renting from the store which is great. We all need to save some money and during the hot summer months movies are a great way to have family …
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
This movie is the best film of its kind - dramatic, gripping, mind-splitting, emotionally heart-wrenching. You’ll fall in love with this movie over and over again. I was suprised by the casting in this movie, as I’d never seen Jim Carrey do a role other than his usual over-acting …
Lipstick & Dynamite film
Women’s wrestling is once again becoming a popular form of entertainment but very few of today’s fans understand the history behind it. The documentary Lipstick & Dynamite tries to fill people in on that.
Overall, it’s a good film filled with plenty of interviews with some of the former female …

Batman Begins
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Batman Begins, staring Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine. I for one am not a huge comic fan or anything dealing with super-heroes and what not, but I really enjoyed this movie. Christian Bale is phenomenal as …

The Butler (Historical Drama Movie)
I like historical dramas so when I found out about The Butler I knew immediately that I just had to see it, even if I wasn’t able to view it in theatres at the time. Shortly after the amount of bad reviews and ratings it had received from regular viewers …
The New World (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The New World” starring Collin Ferrell, Christian Bale and Q’orianka Kilcher is a beautifully romantic tale that captures the rough and heart breaking story of Pocahontas. Not only was this story a version of Pocahontas that perhaps many are not familiar with, but shows in depth …
Body of Lies
Watching Leonardo Dicaprio acting in Body of Lies, I could feel the tension brewing in his character and I watched this before when it was released in my country sometime last year.
There is something mysterious and foreboding whenever spy movies or movies that are filled with CIA Agents give me. …
STRIPES Comedy
I have reached that age where a lot of the movies I thought were fantastic when I was younger kids today haven’t even heard of. STRIPES, a 1981 Columbia Pictures release staring Bill Murray, is one of those. If you haven’t seen it, you most definitely should.
This …
Blood Diamond (2006 film)
We have all heard about Africa, we have seen reports on the news, but we have never experienced it as directly and as strongly from the screen as we do with Edward Zwick’s new visually and emotionally competent epic adventure drama film Blood Diamond.

Black Dog
Black Dog is an unexpected treat. It’s a movie that I’d normally never watch or even think about seeing, except for one thing — it stars my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze. Patrick made this movie right after recovering from a near fatal accident when he’d been thrown …
Here Comes the Boom (movie)
One of the movies that I realised that I underrated the most earlier on in the year was the one that went by the same name of a POD song called “Here Comes the Boom”. One of the reasons why I didn’t even consider watching it at the time …
Noel
I must say that I am confused when I watched Noel, the DVD movie. Luckily, I caught this on DVD instead of going to the movies for it. Starring Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Penelope Cruz, Paul Walker and some other casts, this movie is about miracles and that …
The Day The Earth Stood Still
Anyone who has seen the trailer for “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, will have marvelled at the scenes of destruction, the dizzying special effects that show The Meadowlands being ripped apart by an ashen dust swarm. What the trailer fails to show is the mind-numbingly dull 102 minutes …
Cider House Rules (1999)
“The Cider House Rules” is a 1999 Miramax movie, a production company that I find traditionally does excellent movies. At 116 minutes the English language movie is just about the perfect length. I never felt like it was padded to occupy more screen time nor did I feel cheated …
The movie I am Legend
I am one of those people who love scary or mysterious movies. You know what I’m talking about the “what if this happened movies.” I love all kind of movies, but I was really wanting to see the “I am Legend” movie with Will Smith. I must mention that …

An Englishman in New York 2009

The Ugly Truth movie
I really enjoyed watching this movie. This was another pick from the RedBox dvd kiosk. I will however purchase this to have in my movie collection. This movie is a great romantic comedy dealing with issues such as relationships, what men and women look for when dating, etc. There …
Stranger Than Fiction (R, 1999)
This quirky little movie stars one of my favorite actresses, Natasha Gregson Wagner. There is something insipid and coy about the roles she tends to play. And her stuffy, rebellious role of “Violet” in this movie is no different. This film is sort of a cat …
Movie Transformers
Transformers was one of the most awaited films of 2007. And honestly, I wasn’t really that keen on watching it, maybe because I never was aware of the animated series in the 80’s. But because one of my closest friends really wants to watch it, I decided to come …
Nurse Betty
Nurse Betty with Renee Zellweger, Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock, and Greg Kinnear.
The movie was excellent primarily because of the all star cast. Zellweger is not great looking, but her on screen wholesomeness shines through to make her really desirable. Morgan Freeman plays a hired …

Baby snatcher
I watched this movie on lifetime move network today. Overall it was pretty good. The actors were really good in it, and they had more than one actor that was good. A lot of times in the life time movie networks there are only one good actor in the …
Rush Hour 2 (2001)
Rush Hour is back with a bang as Lee and Carter head out to China on vacation. Although they are supposed to be relaxing, Lee, played by Jackie Chan, is taking on assignments from his boss. This movie was not as good as the first, but still holds a …

Film 1408
I had been looking forward to the big screen adaption of Stephen King’s excellent short story 1408 from his collection Everything’s Eventual. I’d heard quite a few positive reviews and heard that it didn’t do too bad at the box office either, which was unexpected and hopefully a good …

It’s A Wonderful Life - Film 1947
For me, It’s A Wonderful Life has three big no-no’s, firstly my mother loves films like this, secondly it is basically a romance and lastly it’s very old fashioned and in black and white —“ but really I should not hold that against it! It’s a collectors edition …
Masters of Horror: the Deer Woman movie
this movie, directed by the team of Joe Landis and his son, was more of a comedy than horror movie despite being labeled as one of the masters of horror movies. The plot was very silly. It revolved around a strange death. A man in his …
Legend of the Red Dragon-Jet Li
I am an extreme fan of martial arts movies. When I saw this one had Jet Li as a main character, I just had to add it to my collection. He is one of the greatest martial artists in present day. The stunts and the imagery in this movie …
