Blades of Glory
Why is our society so crazed about sex, sex-related humor, gay humor and such?? Or perhaps this is not the society but just Hollywood? Go figure… Here is another movie full of that stuff, a movie that probably could have been good otherwise.
Blades of Glory is about two figure …
No Good Deed (2014 Thriller Movie)
While I admire any attempt at diversifying movies so that non white actors have the rare opportunity of playing some of the main roles, that doesn’t mean I thought the 2014 movie “No Good Deed” was any good. As a matter of fact, it had the terrible luck of being …
Mighty Aphrodite Movie
Mighty Aphrodite is a great, fun movie from writer and director Woody Allen, released in 1994 I believe. It is rich with gags and one-liners all the way through so the script is great, with Woody at his best giving his funny delivery of the lines and also …
Darkness (horror movie)
I thought that I’d watched all the movies with Anna Paquin in it until I saw another one recently on cable television. It was a horror movie named “Darkness”, which I noticed didn’t have a very good rating on neither the cable television guide nor IMDB. Nevertheless, sometimes I …
Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin
I enjoyed this movie since I was quite young. I was first introduced to these characters in the bok the movie was based upon, ‘By The Great Horn Spoon!’ The big disappointment to me was the great sequences on the ship were not but a blink of an eye …
Batman Begins Movie

Let Me In (movie)
“Let Me In” is another one of the movies that I watched recently. I remember seeing it advertising several times before my cable television went, but for some reason, I wasn’t very interested in seeing it. However, it was only after I read about it on someone’s blog where …
Sex and the City (2008)
I love watching Sex and the City, the series before on TV, and now that there’s a movie rendition, I sure wouldn’t want to miss it at all. As usual, it stars the lovely and gorgeous Sarah Jessica Parker and the other lovely ladies as well such as …

Happy Feet Movie
I saw “Happy Feet” earlier this year after seeing commercial’s for it on TV. I had been told that it was just going to be a cartoon version of another penguin documentary. However, this was not at all the case! I really, really enjoyed watching the …
Beverly Hills Chihuahua movie
I have been dying to watch this movie ever since I saw its trailer in the movie house a few weeks ago. The movie was about a Chihuahua and I saw some of the “casts” as well like some pugs and other kind of dogs so I got interested …
Blockbuster Video
Although I don’t watch a lot of DVD movies, perhaps 2 a week at the most, I do like to be able to rent the movies I want to see when I want to see them, not weeks later. I generally don’t make it to the movie theatre more …

Miss Conception
I had never heard of the movie Miss Conception until I came acrossed it on Netflix the other day. And, to be honest, when I decided to get it, I didn’t have any idea what it was I was getting.

28 Days Later movie
Okay, they’re not zombies. They’re very much alive human beings infected with a virulent virus that transforms the most soppy and placid person into a homicidal, red eyed lunatic. They’re never referred to as zombies once in the script and the rules of this new movie monster are very …
The Social Network: Movie
The Social Network was, for me, one of the best if not the best film of 2010 —“ and one of my all-time favourites.
I wasn’t too sure about the storyline but after recommendations I’m glad I gave it a chance, the plot is a very interesting and I wasn’t …
The Theory of Everything, Movie
I decided that I wanted to watch this film as soon as I saw the trailer. It seemed to me like it would have a realistic story line, and that the film would hold my attention. I would say the film definitely lived up to my positive expectations.

50 First Dates
50 First Dates stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
This classic love story takes place in beautiful Oahu, Hawaii, and aside from this location, it was clearly a clone of the Wedding Singer that also starred these two actors. Aside from this fact, I loved the …

This movie is a spoof of the Frank Miller’s telling of the tale of the Spartans, the movie known as 300. Basically everything from start to finish about this movie is similar to 300 with the exception of that it’s a pun of the movie. In addition, almost everything …

My most favorite …
Gone With The Wind
Gone With The Wind is a classic, there is no question about that. It is a well-made and well-acted movie that tells a good story. However, I must say that I find it almost unwatchable at times because I absolutely hate Scarlett O’Hara. Don’t get me wrong: Vivien Leigh …
Hancock
I saw this movie last week. Hancock is a breath of fresh air in a genre that is dominated by brooding, serious superheroes with little or no sense of humour. It features Will smith, Charlize theron and Jason Bateman. The story is about John Hancock (Will smith), a reckless …

Fright Night (2011 Movie)
As much as I hate Hollywood’s love affair with vampires and remakes, I love this movie way better than the original. I didn’t actually see the original Fright Night until a month before the new one came out, and I was disappointed (probably because it was about 20 years …
Fast and the Furious
In America, we’ve been car crazed for along time. Nascar racing and any souped up automobile that will blow across the road like the wind, we love it. There have been hundreds of movies based around cars, but none took the box office by storm like the 2001 mega …

Crimes & Misdemeanors ( 1989) Movie
Whether you are a Woody Allen fan or not, Crimes & Misdemeanors is an excellent movie and I think it is one of his best, but I think you have to have a tendency to be philosophical about the deeper issues in life if you are to enjoy it. …

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane Movie

Sleepwalkers movie
This movie was apparently based on a novel that Stephen King wrote but never got published. Seeing this movie, I can see why King decided not to publish the book because this movie is bad, very bad.
The “sleepwalkers” are cat-like vampire creatures that suck the life force out …
Half Nelson
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Half Nelson starring Ryan Gosling. Half Nelson revolves around a school teacher who is a favorite among his students. His class is always active with humor and fun, and everyone loves him…everyone except him. Ryan Gosling’s character smokes pot and does …
Futurama Movie #1 - Bender’s Big Score
After Matt Groening and David X Cohen’s television comedy series Futurama was canceled at the end of Season Four, it ended on a potentially upbeat note, but it was open-ended enough to leave fans wondering if there would be any future installments in the series. Not long after, …
Movie: The Prowler
I was in the mood for a good old fashioned slasher movie this past weekend and decided to look to the 1980s, when slasher movies ruled. I ended up picking out one I hadn’t heard of before called The Prowler and it ended up being one of the better …
Movie: Stan Helsing
I ended up watching the movie Stan Helsing Friday night because I was in the mood for a comedy and figured this would be one of those films that was so terrible, it couldn’t help but be funny.
Well, it turns out I was right about the movie being terrible. …
