The Movie “Tangled” from Disney Studios
I would like to review the film Tangled. I saw this movie in very recently.
First I want to comment on the characters. First comes the girl, a very charming one. Each and every scene of her made me to jump - especially her face expressions. The way she …
Hotel for Dogs movie
I took my 5 and 3 year old to see Hotel for Dogs today. Both kids sat through it and loved it! The movie was very kid friendly and rated appropriately.
As an adult watching the movie, I also loved it. The movie was funny, …

“The Pursuit of Happyness” is a wonderful film, inspired by the true life story of Chris Garner, who managed to survive with his five-year-old son in early 1980s San Francisco while working his way through an unpaid six-month intership to become a stock broker.
Will Smith is spectacular as Chris, …
Greater Union Cinemas at George Street, Sydney
If you’re new from Sydney and looking for a cinema to watch a movie, then you better stop by Greater Union. I’ve been here since January 2009 and I’m having a great time. I love movies, and the first thing I asked my wife was the cinemas here. She …

I Am Love: A film by Luca Guadagdino (2009)
I watched this film upon the recommendation of one of nytimes film critics. I rely heavily on movie reviews, as I prefer to see titles released under the radar. It was a long wait for this film to be released in DVD version, and I had …
Pollock movie
Pollock is another movie about a real artist, Jackson Pollock. Pollock is the real deal and evidently Jackson Pollock was no peach. I was rather horrified by this movie, and it was very haunting. Jackson Pollock was an important American artist whose style was like no other. In Pollock, …
Movie Chaos
“Chaos” can be best described as a gripping thriller where one has no hint how the story is going to end. Full of interesting twists and action, this movie is worth watching not only once but even twice.
I believe that the best assets of the movie “Chaos” are the …
Miss Congeniality
The actress, Sandra Bullock is very much related to light hearted, feel good movies and “Miss Congeniality” is one of these movies. “Miss Congeniality” success is greatly based on Bullock’s acting abilities and a great script that includes action, adventure, humour and romance all mixed up together.
In this movie …

This is a romantic comedy about a man who messed up his chances with his long time girlfriend and mother of his child all because he is what is called a typical procrastinator. When he gets news of her plans to get married, he steps up his game by …
DVD North Country
Imagine a Lifetime Television Original with a bunch of four letter words and you get North Country.
North Country tells the (cliched) true tale of a woman who brought a class action sexual harrassement suit against the bad dialogue spewing management of a coal mine.
Movies like this have been a …
Triangle Movie
My wife and I were looking for a movie to watch Friday night and ended up picking out a film we hadn’t heard of before; Triangle.
We figured the movie would end up being a bad re-make of the movie Ghost Ship and, for some time, we thought we were …
The Horror Within
When I decided to watch the movie The Horror Within the other night, it was with the expectation it would be a low-budget, cheesy horror flick.
I was partially right. It was low budget and cheesy but it was more of a comedy than a horror movie.
Let’s face it, whenever …
Dirty Dancing
How often does a movie come along that you can watch it 5 times in one day and not ever get tired of it? I think the music is what makes this movie so good. And of course, the dancing. And Patrick Swayze. Oh my goodness, he is gorgeous …
Kung Fu Panda
I saw ‘Kung Fu Panda’ a few days ago. The first thing that hit me as soon as the movie started was the awesome graphics. This animated movie brings together Jack Black(Po), Dustin Hoffman(master shifu), Angelina Jolie (Tigress), Ian McShane (Tai Lung), Jackie Chan (Monkey), Lucy Liu (Viper), Seth …
The Wrestler (2008) Movie
I recorded this movie on Sky Plus and then did not watch it for the longest time, until recently. This is because despite the fact that it stars Mickey Rourke - one of my most favourite actors - I did prejudge that, despite all the critics raving about …

Film The Sure Thing
There is something about the presence of John Cusack in a teen comedy that elevates it to something quite fresh. Not that it works all the time, but a good exampe of it in effect is in Rob Reiner’s The Sure Thing.
Perfectly cast as Gibb, Cusack makes his character, …
The Father of the Bride movie
Very often, the old original movie is better than a modernized remake; however, in this case I must say that it is not so. I had watched “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin first, for many years having no idea that it was a remake. Then I …
Saving Private Ryan
This movie has one of the best opening 30 minutes ever. It takes you for the ride of your life in a realistic portrayal of what D-Day was actually like at the height of WWII. The brutalness and trueness of this first battle can’t help but hook …
War (Movie)
War is a movie that I was actually looking forward to seeing because I’ve recently become a big fan of Jason Statham. For some reason though I kept forgetting about the movie. When I saw that Blockbuster had previously viewed copies of the movie for about $5, I knew …
High School Musical movie
This is one of the best newer movies to come out of Disney in the recent future.
Set around a basketball player and the class brain trying out for the school’s musical and landing the lead roles, the movie has a fun plot to follow and some great music.
I’ve seen …
Mr Death movie
Errol Morris is one of my favorite documentary filmmakers. This time he tells the story of a strange man who verifies the quality of electric chairs for a living, hence the title. But he was also controversial for another reason. He was given a mission to travel to a …
Face of evil
Face of evil is one of my favorite movies that lifetime movie network plays. I had seen it a long time ago but this past weekend they showed it again. I saw it on and got interested in it and watched it again because I had forgotten what happened …
The Man from Earth - 2007 - by Jerome Bixby
This is a truly a great film from start to finish. If you like fast action movies, this is not for you, it takes place in a two room studio and the drama comes from the sharp dialogue rather than the scenery.
The title does not provide …
Movie Mirrors
This movie was a movie that could have been awesome. It had an excellent base story line but it just lacked … SOMETHING. I don’t know what exactly it was, but it lacked. I love the big old run down mall that they had to protect every night, I …
A Dead Calling
A Dead Calling is the kind of movie that I would only watch as a last resort, or because it was cheap. In my case it was a little of both. My local video rental place was clearing out some of their older movies, and I managed to grab …
Harry Brown 2009
I just saw the film “Harry Brown” tonight with my husband. This is a British movie starring Michael Caine. I first got interested about it when I found out that the gist of the movie was revenge, vigilante-style. One of the similar movies that I have seen was Clint …
The Strangers (2008)
I was surprised that the movie, The Strangers (2008) make the cut. I thought it was going to be another cheap flick or something, but it turned out that the story is real good. Masked strangers invaded the lives of Kristen McKay acted by Liv Tyler and …

Beetlejuice movie
One of my favourite films by Tim Burton, Beetlejuice is a dark, but highly comic little gem with a fantastic little story at its heart complete with a cast of superb performers.
The film follows a newly wedded couple, played by Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin who, shortly after moving …
Artic Tale (2007)
This is a wonderful animal movie for both children and adults. I guess you could say it is a true story as nature photographers filmed it up in the artic (the animals are not trained acting animals - they are the real thing). Words were added to the picture …
Mr Magoo’s Christmas Carol
With Quincy Magoo, you either love him, or you hate him. I happen to love the old guy, voiced by Jim Backus, and his version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol stands to me as one of my all-time favorite holiday classics.
Set within a Broadway stage presentation, complete with …
Thunderbirds (2004)
The movie adaptation of a regular and popular television series. The difference between the movie and the series is that instead of using the puppets from the TV, they have replaced them with live actors to do their worst. I didn’t stutter, they really did their worst in this …
Harry potter and the Goblet of Fire
I’ll start this off by setting the record straight….sadly, I am a massive harry potter fan.. i Know sad at 18 years old isn’t it? But, as such i have read the books enough times to know fallacys in these films when i see them, and it seems that …
Peace, Love and Misunderstanding (comedy drama)
While I do like some independent drama films, I didn’t think I would enjoy this one based on the description that I had seen of it. My impression was that it would probably be too boring for me to enjoy or I wouldn’t be able to relate at all. However, …

Clean Slate (movie)
I have to admit, outside of Wayne�s World and Wayne�s World 2, I haven�t seen many Dana Carvey movies. But, after watching his film, Clean Slate, I think I�m going to have to see more.
Granted, Carvey wasn�t overly convincing as a private investigator. He just didn�t seem tough enough, …
Top Secret! movie
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 …
St. Elmo’s Fire (movie)
Didn’t everyone in the 1980’s love St. Elmo’s Fire? The whole thing about seeing a young Demi Moore and Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy was simply thrilling to millions, I am sure. I don’t see or understand the inherent value of St. Elmo’s Fire, myself. I laugh when I …
Bob the Butler movie
I ended up finally watching the movie Bob the Butler this past weekend. It was on my Netflix player but I never took the time to watch it because I am not a huge Tom Green fan and thought it would end up being kind of dumb.
It turned out …
Movie: Plan 9 from Outer Space
I was the first one up Sunday morning; well, me and my 1-year-old. Since it was too early to do anything without waking people up, I ended up sitting on the couch with my daughter, wrapped in a blanket and watching a movie.
The film I picked was the Ed …

Lower City (R, 2005) movie
First and foremost I must say that you should enjoy foreign films (at least to a certain extent) before viewing this movie. Secondly, I should say that if you have seen “City of God” then you will probably enjoy this movie. And third, I must say that …
Open Range
There are not that many western made these days and when you see one that is recent I normally like to see an actor that I appreciate.
I like Robert Duvall, and I like Kevin Costner and I adore Annette Beinning. A few years ago this western came …
Movie : She’s All That (1999)
I have a pretty good and fair deal with my wife as far as movie watching goes. She will watch just about anything with me, which is usually a lot. And every now and then I have to sit through a chick flick type of film with her. Over …
Ocean’s Thirteen
Ocean’s Thirteen with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Ellen Barkin, and Al Pacino.
This is an elaborate movie based on the revenge concept. What made it so special is the huge star studded cast of superstar actors. …
Love and Death (1972) Movie
Love and Death is a very silly 1972 movie written and directed by the fantastic Woody Allen and I just re-watched it yet again. It cheered me up for at least three days after watching it, especially as the scene —˜No, you must be Don Fransisco’s sister’ kept …
Jockey (documentary)
I love horses and I love to ride. I’m also found of Thoroughbreds, especially those horses retired from the race track. I also enjoy watching the Kentucky Derby and the other big Thoroughbred races. I knew that it would be hard to be a jockey, but I had no …
Movie Stargate
We like to watch movies, it is one of favorite pastimes. We saw the movie Stargate on cable last week. It starred Kirk Russle and it was very well done.
In this movie the opening scenes show a dig in Egypt in the 1920’s a young girl …
