It literally took me years to decide I was going to watch the movie “No Reservations’. This was because I thought that I wouldn’t love it even though one of my favourite actresses, Catherine Zeta-Jones was playing one of the leads. This was because I had seen it being aired …

If at all possible, never, ever, ever, ever rent this movie. I went online at Netflix, thinking that this was going to be an innovative horror film. I was so disappointed. The beginning is rather stark. There are three serial killers who work …

Renee Zellwenger had to increase about 25 lbs. in order to interpret the role of Bridget Jones. Even though she felt a lot chubby, her sacrifices were all worth it in the end. “Bridget Jones Diary” was a smashing hit and definitely her most successful movie!
So why “Bridget Jones …

The Puppet Masters is one of those movies that you have to laugh at. And laugh at quite a bit because not only is the plot totally far fetched, but the acting and script and production are so completely awful, the movie is little more than a joke! The …

After almost ten years of films that didn’t speak to me the Coen brothers finally created something interesting again. The Man Who Wasn’t There is something of a homage to the old great noir films like The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon. In the center stands Billy Bob …

It is very difficult to find four great and known actors in one movie; however “School Ties” managed to do this by putting together at that time emerging actors such as Brendan Fraser, Chris O’Donnell, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
What I really liked about School Ties is the fact …

The Masters of Horror series is like a crap shoot. You never know what kind of mess (or jewel) you’re going to get. John Carpenter, the director behind this film did a fairly good job of creating suspense and horror. The film focuses on a 15 …

So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …

I think the cartoon will be enjoyed by anybody with a sense of humor, …

Milos Forman’s powerful film about the legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It’s a very colorful and moving portrait, narrated through the eyes of one of Mozart’s competitors during this time, who was only mediocre in comparison. Forman uses an epic style to tell this story, and that works very …

White Noise is yet another scary movie that wasn’t so scary. The movie is about people who try to contact ghosts using EVP. I mean some small parts of the movie were actually scary. But I thought most, of the movie was not scary at all. So as I was …

Hostel Part II is damn unsettling. I was so scared out of my mind watching this, and I have a great reason for it. If those of you who have watched Hostel Part I before felt that the movie experimented with a clubhouse type of hostel sponsored …

I didn’t watch the Butterfly Effect when it first came out. It looked somewhat interesting, however the fact that it starred Kelso from That 70’s Show sort of turned me off. I mean, it is Kelso we are talking about, who wants to watch him in a …

I never really understood the fascination with Laurel and Hardy movies before; mostly because I never got an opportunity to watch them. It was a popular dual before I was even born and, let’s be honest, it’s not like it would be the type of movie I would look …
