District 9 is a movie I bought after seeing it in theaters. I love science fiction-type films, and since this one contains aliens, it was right up my alley.
District 9 is a section set aside for the insect-like aliens that also inhabit Earth. It’s basically a slum, …

One of the most loved and cherished of the holiday classics is The Bishop’s Wife from 1947. Starring Cary Grant, David Niven, and Loretta Young, it’s an enchanting story of a bishop, his wife, and a Christmas visitor. It’s magical and everything good that a movie for …

I recently loaded the movie Monsters Inc on our netflix player for my daughter to watch. She hasn’t seen this movie before. I have and I think it is a great animated film.
The thing I like about this movie is the unique plot. You have a bunch of monsters …

I am going to review a comedy-drama film called Over Her Dead Body.A man and a woman are about to be married but on the day of thier wedding,teh woman,named Kate gets killed by an angel ice sculpture she ordered for the wedding.After one year,her boyfriend,Henry refuses to get …

My daughter loves Hannah Montana (even though she rarely watches the show) so we ended up renting Hannah Montana: The Movie for her. Turns out she barely even sat through the beginning but at least my wife and I ended up loving it.
I actually kind of like the show …

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away We are taken to a galaxy ruled by an evil emperor, and his twisted, evil right hand man Darth Vader (David Prowse, voice by James Earl Jones). Upon capturing a rebel ship, which Princess Leia (Carrie …

Starting from the ambiguous title, this flick sets up expectations for a superficial and possibly disgusting comedy with the kick-in-the-balls type of humor. The expectations are justified. Granted, “Balls of Fury” is a parody, but parody doesn’t have to be stupid or revolting, in my opinion.
Randy, the main character, …

This movie follows the life and stories of Nemo Nobody, played by Jared Leto. The visuals and story telling in this movie is some of the best I have ever seen, not to mention the music used at many points in the film fit perfectly with the scenes they are …

After watching movies such as Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle, I was searching the internet for some good Japanese animated films to watch. The name of one movie in particular named “Grave of the Fireflies” kept surfacing with many extremely good ratings. However, I found myself ignoring it …

It was an exhausting movie, with action everywhere, and debris flying all over the place. I am not a big transformers fan (probably because I am a girl), although I appreciated the effects of this Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. I grew up watching my brothers fight over …

I am reviewing the movie, Man Without a Face, which came out in 1993. It stars Mel Gibson as Justin McLeod, an outsider who lives in isolation, who has nothing but the past and the company of his dog. Nick Stahl plays the part of a young, troubled boy …

Sublime is quite possibly the oddest movie I have ever seen in my life. Once the movie ended, I was left feeling very confused and still trying to figure out what happened. Sometimes that is a good thing, like in Momento, but it wasn’t a good thing in this …

This Robin Williams movie was a delightful surprise. I wasn’t expecting to like Bicentennial Man at all. Williams may be a terrific comic, but his films don’t usually thrill me personally. There are exceptions, of course, like Awakenings, which is why I decided to give this flick …

The finale of the first season goes to great lengths to impress us and tease us as well. Sarah and Derek try to neogiate with a mysterious businessman for the Turk device but they get more than what they bargained for. Apparently, this guy doesn’t want to sell it …

There are many cute Walt Disney cartoon characters but I think Donald Duck is the cutest of them all. To those who are not aware his full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck and his birthday was June 9, 1934. With his cutie bird head and a pair of …

I actually just stumbled upon this movie short from 1939 while looking for something to watch on television. It’s called Yankee Doodle Goes to Town, and it’s definitely a pro-America, pro-democracy creation. It’s theme is that America continues to rise up, to defeat its foes, and that …

Synopsis: A high school boy and girl from two different backgrounds and with different interests land lead roles in the school’s musical production and fall in love with each other; only to find prejudice from their friends threatens both to keep them apart from each other and keep them …

Meet the Parents was a classic. Meet the Fockers did not enjoy as much critical success as the original, but it was still thoroughly enjoyable. Unfortunately, the film to complete the trilogy is as stale and pointless as any of the other third movies you can remember.
Greg and …

I first heard the story of Pi from my teacher. He is a big fan of the book so when the movie came, he is promoting it to us. Out of curiosity, me and my friends watched it together. I never expected to like it for I am not …

The Professional is an absolutely fantastic film. Normally, the crime genre isn’t really for me. But this story is beautifully told about an assassin and how his life changes when he reluctantly takes on the responsibility of a 12-year-old girl.
First of all, the acting is excellent. The assassin Leon …

Thor…Thor…Thor…
If you’ve never heard or read about norse mythology then this name might mean nothing to you. Apparently, I have a little background so I know who Thor is. Thor is the
God of thunder (that’s the only thing that I could remember though), in the movie he also …

What is the big deal about the movie Rocky? I don’t understand why anyone would want to watch people beat each other up. And, if you haven’t noticed, the acting is not great. So what is the point? I think Sylvester Stallone was pretty hot when he was younger …

Starring: Ian McCulloch, Alexandra Delli Colli, Sherry Buchanan, Peter O’Neal, Donald O’Brien, Dakkar, and Walter Patriarca.
Directed by: Marino Girolami.
If you want a bad zombie movie, you just found one. “Zombie Holocaust” is a cult flick much like “Night of the Zombies”, “The Beyond”, and “Zombi 2″, all of which were …

Oz The Great and Powerful tries so hard to be epic. It has a very entertaining feeling. There are aspects of the movie that are brilliant and there were things that I thought needed some work. Sometimes I thought the pacing of the film was a little off and …

I don’t go to a lot of movies in the theatre, but I thought this one might be fun. It’s based on the book of the same name, and you can see this in the small vignettes in between scenes of the movie - occasionally you leave the action …

Richard Gere in his best role as the rebellious Mayo. He goes through one of the toughest military educations and meets the love of his life in the meantime. The story combines heartbreaking romantic sequences with the almost sadistic way the soldiers are treated by their superior officers, and …

Coming from Old School Superman, I could never really get into Superman and Lois Lane as an item. I can appreciate its inevitability � I mean, after all, they’ve been working together almost seventy years. But if television is any indicator, romances typically mean the death knell to a …

I am reviewing The Case of the Jolly Hangman, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …

Orlando Bloom may be a great character actor and eye candy for women every where but, as a leading actor, he leaves a lot to be desired.
The movie Elizabethtown had great intentions and could have been a great love story. But, in my opinion, it fell flat. Kirsten Dunst …

Well, I will admit, that was a pretty good movie. When we decided to watch the film Three, I figured it would be like every other thriller I ever watched, with a few intense moments but a plot that was pretty easy to follow and would be too predictable.
But, …

The movie “Due Date” was a pleasant surprise because I didn’t expect that I would enjoy it so much. In the movie, a man played by the actor Robert Downy Jr. drives across the United States along with a struggling actor who got him kicked off a plane so …

Today I had gone out with a couple of friends and decided to watch a movie. We had arrived at the Scotiabank Theatre and looked upon the movie listings and decided to watch Step Up 3D. So we bought our tickets and went into the theatre. The movie starts …

Columbo: Strange Bedfellows from 1995 pits brother against brother, and it’s the younger brother who loses the contest. Teddy McVeigh keeps getting into trouble and after this most recent time, big brother Graham takes matters into his own hands. A bit of murder ends his problems, so …

Oh Heavenly Dog is a charming movie that is surprisingly funny. Chevy Chase stars as a private investigator who gets murdered in the middle of a case. However, as far as Heaven goes, he’s not guaranteed entry. He has to go back to Earth to solve …

The story of this movie revolves around Dave Lewzewski, an ordinary high school guy who wants to be one of the superheroes that he admires. He buys a green suit and walks around town on it and calls himself Kick-Ass. One night while he was on his costume, he …

Fracture is about a man who kills his wife (Anthony Hopkins plays this part) and the cops know he did it but can’t prove it basically. I know it kind of sounds a little boring but the movie itself isn’t. Ryan Gosling also plays in the movie. The two …

I just got back from the movies and I have to say The Incredible Hulk 2 is so much better than any of the other Hulk movies or TV show in the past. It is a great story line that really follows the original comic book story much closer …

Great comedy staring the then-not-so-popular Scarlett Johansson. This movie also stared Thora Birch, and one of my favorite actors, Steve Buscemi. Ghost World is based off of the comic book title of the same name, it I promise you, this will be one of the best comedy-drama movies you’ll …

I am reviewing the movie, Blue Herrings, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles as the mystery duo of Sergeant Troy and Chief Inspector Barnaby. This movie was made in 2000, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novel written by Caroline Graham.
In this movie, viewers get …

Scoop is a comedy atypical for Woody Allen. A comedy situated on the border between Allen’s specific black comedies, a classic romantic comedy and a mystery thriller. Another unusual element in Scoop is Scarlett Johansson, who stars in my opinion in one of his best roles. She is a …

I saw previews for Employee of the Month a few months ago but never made an effort to rent it. It just didn’t look that good.
But, when it became available on Showtime, I decided to at least give it a chance. I wasn’t disappointed.
Like most movies that take place …

This was another hyped and overrated movie but at least this was well worth watching it! The movie stars Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp and the story is all about Frank, an American tourist who is on Italy apparently mending his broken heart, and he meets Elise, a very …

I have reviewed Angels and Demons movie already and I watched it at Eastwood Mall together with my computer. I initially wanted it to be at Cinema 7 because it has a reclining couple’s chair but since the screening time is too late within the day, I just chose …

Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain is a masterpiece that lingers with you long after the movie is over. I had read Annie Proulx’ short story of the same name four times before the movie reached my area. I’d been reading reviews since it was first released December 9, …

Sleepy Hollow, directed by Tim Burton is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for graphic horror violence and gore, and for a scene of sexuality. The original release date for this movie was November 19, 1999 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre …

The original Creepshow movie by Stephen King is probably one of my favorite horror movies ever. I really liked this serious of mini movies. I really like the intro about the kid who get revenge on his enemies with a voodoo doll. I thought that intro clip was just …

After having his last movie “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” blasted by criticism, the actor Adam Sandler had to come up with a good movie. This answer is in his last movie “Don’t Mess with Zohan” which on the whole seems to have won over the critics …
