Watching Black Swan makes me feel like I was trapped in a crazy world of ballet. I believe Natalie Portman’s portrayal of Nina Sayers brought a great deal to the success of this film. Not only that she played the role well, she managed to depict perfection and I …

I had rented the Thai version of this film and was really disappointed with how shallow the American remake was. First of all, Joshua Jackson (of “Dawson’s Creek”, “Skulls”) is the lead character. I was not even aware of who his co-star is. …

Many times over I have mentioned that certain movies do not need a sequel and for every time I mention this fact there comes another movie which is a sequel to prove that fact time and time again. Take this movie for example, the original movie was so good …

Anatomy is one of those horror movies that I really love. It isn’t too graphic, it doesn’t use a lot of harsh language, but it still manages to scare you in ways that other movies can’t. I think part of it is because the movie was made in Germany …

I’m one of those people who had been waiting for the Avengers to be released for two years. I just watched it recently and am not disappointed at all by the movie.

Any film that has Morgan Freeman in it was something that I added to my Netflix queue (unless I’d seen it multiple times before). But I must say that this film will not be one of those that I rent again. The premise seemed interesting enough. …

This movie contained some of my favourite actors like JK Simmons from Oz and Spiderman, and also the actor Shane West. However, even though I thought the movie wasn’t awful like some others I’ve seen, I still think that it really wasn’t all that great, and I was expecting …

I’ve just returned from watching the newly released ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ starring Will Smith. Based on a true rags-to-riches story of a smart and hard-working man, the movie has left me touched, encouraged’ and a little depressed. It’s not that I didn’t know that life can be hard; …

Pedro Almodovar has been called the greatest spanish director since Luis Buñuel. In my opinion that title would go to Julio Medem, but I still think Almodovar is great and especially this enigmatic film about strange people. As always in the films of Almodovar, he is not afraid to …

“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 …

I’m not what you would call a super duper die hard fan of X-men comics, but I do enjoy the movies and have followed them since the very first one came out. I was excited for the newest movie in the X-men Days of Future Past, when viewing the trailers. …

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, …

An american rock star is having a performance in Germany. What he doesn’t know is that the performance is really a cover-up for a political meeting.
This film features Val Kilmer in one of his early roles, strangely enough in a comedy as it is. The tone is that of …

A Dog’s Breakfast surprised me a great deal because while it was as warped as I suspected it was, but it was also somewhat enjoyable. I didn’t like some of the more graphic parts and the innuendo that resulted, but as a whole, it was oddly enjoyable.
I’m not …

I admit I did not have any desire to watch this film ever since it was announced Mel Gibson is seating at the director’s chair. Plus the idea of another war movie is exhausting to think about unless your name is Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk will be released this year and …

I haven’t seen any Sci-Fi movie like this one, it’s an adventure and a thriller movie as well and you can really learn a lot about just concentrating on the film itself, like you can learn a lot about basic astronomy and the solar system, and things like so …

Normally, I like movies that spoof other movies; everything from Scary movie to pretty much anything made by Mel Brooks. But, after watching Meet the Spartans last night, I no longer can say I like all movies in that genre.
The thing about Meet the Spartans is it had the …

I love Titanic. I’ve seen the movie close to 30 times total since it was first released in 1998 and that includes the six times that I saw it in the theater. This is one of the few movies that made me want to learn more about the topic …

I’ve mentioned this once, but when it comes to Superhero movies, you usually will have a hit with the first attempt at it but the sequels will never live up to the original. In the case of Spiderman 3, the third installment is definitely terrible compared to the previous …

Perhaps not as seminal as Night of the Living Dead, and certainly not as loved as Dawn of the Dead; Day of the Dead often seems the forgotten third child in Romero’s zombie saga. But, whilst it may lack the crude and creepy charm of Night, and the raging …

Once again, I have to admit, I’m becoming more and more impressed with Mandy Moore whenever I see her in a movie. And, this time it was on Lifetime.

After reading about the original …

I enjoy Pixar movies very much, and Cars is no exception. This computer-generated animated movie features the voices of Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt, Michael Keaton and others. Like many Pixar movies, the story takes place in an alternate world, a world where cars, not humans, rule …

Im was a huge fan of Lock Stock and Two Smokin barrels and when Snatch was released I was unsure of what to expect.

I’m going to be completely honest and say that I had absolutely no intention of watching the movie Red 2 since I felt that it wasn’t going to be as good as the first movie. My feelings about it strengthened when I saw the trailer for it and noticed …
