Are you thinking about watching the movie “Happy Feet” with you kids?
When I was subjected to ad after ad after preview and preview of the movie “Happy Feet,” the scene was always set with music and an adorable penguin tapping his feet. My two-year old daughter want to …

This movie was hilarious. It features a modern fairy tale story set in the present time and what I like about it most is that the famous and cool James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men) is actually such a romantic prince here and he does a very great job at …

The second part of Deadly Matrimony focuses on how Brian Dennehy’s detective sergeant character of John Reed sets out to find out who killed Dianne Masters, and once he knows, to take care of cleaning up the corrupted Chicago police department.

In this movie, viewers get …

I love horror movies, and the original “Halloween” from 1978 is the one that started it all for me. I was too young to see it when it was first shown in theaters, so I actually didn’t get the opportunity to watch it until I reached my twenties. And …

Kissing A Fool with David Schwimmer, Jason Lee, and Bonnie Hunt.
This film theme had potential, but the horrible cast selection never gave it a chance. Schwimmer used his experience from Friends and tried to make it work as a major character in a motion picture. …

The cult declared film from the early 1930s by Tod Browning was before its time with the story it tells. A circus companionship with “freaks” travels around together. The so called freaks are people with strange looks, everything from midgets to people with small heads. These people were authentic, …

One of my favourite movies has got to be “Dirty Girl” starring Juno Temple. This was because of four main reasons. The first was the plot which I thought was very interesting even though it wasn’t particularly unique; the second was how it was filmed which I guess had …

My husband and I saw this movie last weekend. We went to a Sunday matinee and the theatre was PACKED! The theatre was full of mostly girls, but my husband didn’t mind too much. This is definitely a chick flick.
The cast was great. I especially loved Ginnifer Goodwin and …

Moulin Rouge by director Baz Luhrman is a movie built around its soundtrack…or at least, that’s how it feels to me. Each scene seems designed so that it can be summed up with a song. Fortunately the soundtrack is actually pretty good - many of the songs are great, …

My thirteen year old daughter is in love with the Twilite Movie. She has even read the book she liked it so much, and she is not one to read a book if it wasn’t an assignment. I can’t say as I loved the movie, but it is a …

Contrary to a lot of reviews I read before watching this, I did not find this movie hilarious. To me it came off as more annoying and silly than many other B-movies and Horror Comedies; and thus, I found myself immersed in a nightmare which seemed to be a …

I am reviewing The Blue Carbunkle, a Sherlock Holmes adventure from the boxed set, The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, produced in 1983 by Granada television. It is Christmas time in this episode, and everyone is in the holiday spirit, that is until a precious blue diamond is stolen, and …

The thing …

Cold Souls is an excellent independent film to sink your teeth into. Paul Giamatti does an excellent job, as usual, of playing a flawed and likeable character, only this time the character is himself. The plot is quite simple, Paul is an actor who needs help disengaging from the …

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the “Scream” movies. I know that there are a lot of people who hate the franchise, but I never found myself in that camp. By that same token, I never bought it as a revolutionary leap forward in the …

In continuation from Desperado, El Mariachi (Antonio Bandaras) has once again lost his love as Carolina (Selma Hayek) is killed. This time the gun fight action is lame and played out as the director has lost his flare and direction. The movie is laced with crappy acting, crappy staging, …

Whenever I watch Beastmaster, I can understand why it’s a movie that has been shown on television as much as it has.
Marc Singer puts on a very good performance as Dar, a man who is seeks revenge against the evil priest who slaughtered his entire family at the beginning …

Will Ferrell is a very funny actor who I have seen in many movies and really enjoyed watching. One movie he stars in in-particular is the holiday movie “Elf” which came out in 2003. In this film, he plays a human named Buddy who was raised by elves and …

From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …

I enjoyed at least 2 of the stories and in a way, it’s not …

“To Kill a Mockingbird” is an excellent movie based on the Pulitzer Prizewinning novel by Harper Lee. Screenplay is by Horton Foote. Like all good movies it can be viewed on various levels, but I tend to think of it as a childhood memoir. The movie is told from …

Matchstick Men is a film that cons you right until the end. A con man getting conned at his own game - while this story has been told in many different versions, the intrique and suspense is no less in this film than any other. It took me …
