Janie Jones movie
I rarely like the movie called the name of a person. The films of this type is usually a boring drama. Similarly when I watched the film Janie Jones. I watched with low expectations. However, apparently this movie proves otherwise. This drama gives something fresh, with a simple acoustic …
Tropic Thunder

Prom Night movie
In the first place, Prom Night is a not a funny and romantic comedy about a high-school prom night filled with friends and love. Yes, the movie is filled with friends, to be exact the character Donna’s friends, but this movie is all scary and a thriller! …

Tyler Perry’s ‘The Family That Preys’ (movie)
I really didn’t know what to expect from this film when I first heard the name of it. Tyler Perry is best known for his comedies such as ‘Diary of a Mad Black Woman’ and ‘Meet the Browns’. I was really surprised today when I watched his 2008 film …

Alien movie (1979)
(Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt)
The original Alien is widely regarded as a science fiction classic. Although plenty of attention is paid to the production values and set design in terms of the spacecraft and aliens themselves, both of these elements don’t appear to be the focus. Instead, Alien …
Movie Friday the 13th
I was a bit skeptical when Friday the 13th the 09 version was coming out. People didn’t hear much about it. And the cast was practically unheard of, which was a worry for all the fans of the series.
This movie is not as bad as I thought it was …
You can count on me movie

The Edge of Seventeen (2016 Coming-of-Age Film)
Seriously? Another coming-of-age/young adult movie? Well yes, that is what I expected when I watched this film last night. However, when the film ended, I accused myself of immediately judging the book by its own cover. What happens inside this movie is structurally the same as almost any young adult …
Valkyrie
Valkyrie tries valiantly to be a good movie, but ultimately, fails. The movie is put together very well, with phenomenal acting by every one involved. Both the writing and the directing are equally great. So why does the movie fail? The story simple can’t carry istelf through a whole …
The New pornographers Twin Cinemas CD

Breach
The best way to describe the movie “Breach” is a Bourne story without the action. Based on a true story, “Breach” has a great cast of actors Chris Cooper, Ryan Phillippe and Laura Linney. The true pity is that this movie was released in the same year …
Life as House
The very first time I saw the actor Hayden Christensen was in the movie “Life as House” where he portrayed a disturbed and out of control teen named Sam. I watched the movie a total of five times after that as I fell in love with everything from …

Fracture
Anthony Hopkins has played so many villains, I think I have lost count. Here he appears as one again, intelligent, scheming, cold-blooded - just the way you like him. The movie “Fracture” (released in 2007) drew me in from the start, and from the start I knew it was …
Stockholm, Pennsylvania (2015 drama movie)
“Stockholm, Pennsylvania” isn’t a very popular film, and so it’s understandable even if you’re a movie lover like me and have never heard of it. I consider myself lucky because I was able to catch it when it aired recently on HBO or Cinemax.
Despite some of the negative critical reception …
Body of Lies (movie)
Starring the two talented actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Russel Crowe, the movie “Body of Lies” was nowhere near disappointing. It is one of the most thrilling, tense and suspenseful movies I’ve seen about espionage in a long time, and I would truly encourage those who have an interest in these …
Twister
Helen Hunt is just a good actress and I wonder whether she has ever won an acting award or not. Her appearance was very good, especially in the movie, Twister, which I watched years back. My local TV channel loves to showcase long-ago movies which had been blockbuster …
Heat Wave (NR, 1990) movie
I really wanted to like this little film, especially since Blair Underwood was starring. This film is really pretty old, nearly 20 years. And the premise was pretty good. During this time, there were several films that tried to follow the topic of race relations. …

Doghouse Movie
The undead, infected, and zombies have been in every independent horror, comedy, and even action movie as of late. If you have a laughable budget then it must be written somewhere that you have to make a movie like this. At least Doghouse takes the trendy concept and adds …

The Cabin in the Woods (2012 film)

The Saw movies
Oh how I loathe these movies. My fiance takes me to them every time they come out on the big screen and I just HATE them. I don’t think there’s really any acting in it. Anyone can ‘act’ in a horror movie. I mean anyone. I just don’t get …
Friday the 13th Part 4
Friday the 13th part 4 is a movie that most horror movie fans either really hate, or they really love. Personally I’m a big fan, which is saying a lot for me. I tend to lean more towards the Halloween films, but this is my favorite of the Jason …
Road to Singapore movie
The funny to me as I begin to write this review is that was just a few days ago that I was thinking how long it had been since I’d seen any of the Road pictures. Lo and behold, TCM decides to air five of the seven Road …

Gladiator: Anatomy of a Prison Murder (R, 2002)
This movie was a bit more brutal than I imagined it would be. I am a huge fan of horror movies, the gorier the better. And I even like films that depict some of the rather disturbing crimes occurring in recent years. However, this …

The Nun’s Story: A Film by Fred Zinnemann (1959)
I have heard this film is one of Audrey Hepburn’s acclaimed performances. I personally believe it’s also the most critically-absorbing film in the entire Audrey Hepburn —˜genre’. The austere screenplay was very consistent to the point that it almost felt like watching an art film. The …
Toy Story 3 in 3D
Toy Story in 3D
Having thoroughly enjoyed Toy Story 1 & 2, I was ecstatic to hear the third chapter was out in theatres. We hurried to our local theatre, paid our $12.50 USD ($3.50 extra for 3D movies) and went directly to our favorite seats, 10th row back, …
