In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)
In my view, this movie tries too hard to follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Ring movies and by doing so it manages to sink its own ship. There are so many things wrong with this movie it is a wonder if ever made it to …
Just Friends (2005)
I can relate to what this movie has to offer, and with the comedy thrown in for extra support, it makes this movie a very entertaining slice of pie that all can enjoy colorful huh. This movie is about a boy who has a good friend that he loves …

Naruto Episode 14 Subbed
Despite some of the earlier episodes that had a lot of flashbacks, this episode managed to be quite interesting. The main character is back in the action, none too soon in my personal opinion, but of course this does not amount to any interesting action. In fact, Naruto’s entrance …
The Proposal movie
I believe that Sandra Bullock’s ‘The Proposal’ is going to be a hit movie just like one of her famous movies ‘While you were sleeping’. The great thing about ‘The Proposal’ is that it is an easy going romantic movie which everyone will love. On a personal note, …
The Illusionist (PG-13, 2006) movie

Krakatoa (Documentary)

The Titanic (Movie)
This was a good movie that I love very much to watch when it first came out. I love the storyline between the two lovers, a poor American guy and his rich girlfriend, and how even though they only met for a short time in the ship, their love …
Project Moonbase Image Entertainment DVD
When I bought Project Moonbase, I was expecting to see a sprawling, scientifically accurate moon city, especially when I knew it was written by Robert Heinlein, one of the giants of literary science fiction. I was even further encouraged when I saw the spectacular opening titles, set against …
Flakes movie
I absolutely hated this movie. For one, I had never even heard of it until a friend brought the DVD over to my room. It had her favorite actress in it, so we thought we would watch it.

Nanny McPhee

The story of this movie is about Mr. Cedric Brown, a part excellently interpreted by Colin Firth, who is a widow and has …
Woman’s World
Woman’s World is an oldie but goodie. The movie was made in 1954 and some might call it dated, but I watched this movie a lot growing up and really like it. I wish I could find it on DVD or that cable would air it.
The vehicle …
A Series of Unfortunate Events the Movie
I have read the entire series of the Series of Unfortunate Events books, and have a strange love for them. They are filled with misfortune and woe, but at the same time a mystery, suspense, and little joys and happiness that make it absolutely fantastic. The movie was—¦well—¦a disaster. …

The Great Waldo Pepper movie
George Roy Hill works well with Robert Redford, including in this 1975 production, The Great Waldo Pepper. This movie is a little strange and sort of warpy. I really don’t know how to describe it. It’s dramatic and fun, but it’s not mainstream in many ways. …
Notorious (R, 2009) movie
I was a little worried about this movie because when biopics are made about famous people, it’s sometimes really hard to hire the right actors to do these kinds of roles. The actor must not only look like the artist, but must also embody the little nuances that …
Salt (movie)
In late 2010, me and a friend of mine wanted to go and see a nice action film in theatres and we were extremely delighted when “Salt” was released. Judging from what we saw in the trailer at the time, the movie seemed like it was going to have …

Batman: Dark Knight Rises
One of the movies that I watched recently was “Batman: Dark Knight Rises” and to be honest, I didn’t expect it to come anywhere near the previous one in the series in terms of greatness, where I was blown away by Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker. Nevertheless, I …

Monsters versus Aliens Movie (2009)

Transformers: The Michael Bay Movie

Komodo vs. Cobra (KvC) (2005) Movie

Film A Good Year
A Good Year is a real feel good film, just like the title suggests. Russell Crow plays the lead and I actually like him in this film. He does a great English accent and plays a hard hearted, workaholic, money hungry city trader to perfection. His character doesn’t seem …

Bubble movie
“Bubble” is directed by Stephen Soderbergh. Soderbergh is the brillian mind behind such films as “Sex, Lies and Videotapes” and “Traffic”. Whats sad about this is that “Bubble” Is terrible. I’m not sure how a great director can go from hollywood blockbusters to bombing …

Broken Arrow movie
Back in the late 1980s, the director John Woo used to make some visually interesting films, but none of these had any depth, there was nothing beyond that beautiful surface. When he later was offered film projects in Hollywood, he couldn’t turn them down for the money.
While there he …

Scotiabank Theater in Vancouver, Canada
I have to say this cinema outlet is very hard to find. While in the Vancouver Airport, or the YVR on December 26, 2009, I searched the Web for the nearest cinema in which to watch Avatar in digital 3D for the second time.
The Scotiabank Theater come up …
