Children Of Men is a film which takes place in London and is set in the future in quite an apocalyptic situation. I don’t remember the exact year of this movie but I do recall that in the film it has been 18 years since the last baby has …
Bride Wars Movie
The movie stars Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Sometimes, when I am tired or depressed, I need a good laugh and one of the method that I invoke to have this is to watch feel-good movies. Sometimes cartoons help me with this therapy but I scout for movies like …

Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All movie

Battle, Los Angeles 2011 Movie
From the point of view of its genre and style this movie is a rather unique breed. It is a kind of hybrid, a combination of things and elements which are not very often combined, with a special emphasis of its own. This movie deals with an alien invasion …

Corpse Bride movie
I think Corpse Bride was a great film. It was very dark and had lots of feeling in it. And it was a tale told in the classic Tim Burton style. I really liked the story and thought it was both very dark, yet very romantic. I really loved the …
Shaun of the Dead
Shaun of the Dead is a British romantic comedy/horror film featuring Simon Pegg as the bumbling slacker Shaun who is forced to save his family and friends from a town full of bloodthirsty zombies. While this movie sports lots of zombie gore, it is almost cartoonish or Monty …
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
To start, I feel that no amount of words could ever do this movie the justice it deserves…..but nevertheless, I’ll try my best.
In a basic summation, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the film adaptation of the classic, semi-autobiographical tale written by the late, great Hunter S. Thompson. …

Movie Review: The Ladykillers (2004)
I have just rented “The Ladykillers” 2004, starring Tom Hanks, from our local library and we’ve had a fun evening watching this hilarious comedy. However, I could do with less profanity; hearing the f-word all throughout the movie was rather annoying.
The story is about a gang of criminals lead …
Night Of The Living Dead
This movie was written and directed by George A Romero and released in 1968, it did really well and is regarded as a classic, it was one of if not the first zombie movie, in the film the country is taken over by zombies that won’t die, the film …
National Treasure DVD
There are a handful of actors and actresses that I truly enjoy watching perform and Nicholas Cage is one of them. I liked National Treasure the first time I saw it a few years ago. I like history and I like Nichols Cage so this was a …
Blue Velvet movie
The both controversial and beloved filmmaker David Lynch has been acclaimed for his unique artistic style and criticised for his way of showing brutal violence. My favorite of all his works is the incredibly emotionally powerful and mysterious tv-series Twin Peaks that totally flabbergasted me as a young teenager …
A Perfect Getaway (Movie)
When I saw this on the trailer I immediately knew it was going to be a very good suspense/thriller movie. The movie features Milla Jovovich and Steve Zahn as the Anderson honeymooners, Timothy Olyphant and and Kiele Sanchez as the other couple, and Marley Shelton and Chris Hemsworth as …
Movie “Case 39″ (2009)
I do not particularly like or have anything against Rene Zellweger. This movie was ok. I liked the plot but some of it was cheesy and too campy for my taste and I like horror and campy movies. The plot is cool in this film. …
The Corpse Bride Movie
The Corpse Bride is one of my favorite animated films ever. This movie really makes you feel the power and emotion in it. And with Johnny Dep playing the main character you know you are in for one wild ride. It was very cool to see some of Johnny Dep’s …
El Cantante (Movie)
This movie starring Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony about a puerto rican singer and his downfalls WAS HORRIBLE!. I HATED IT! The story was told in such a bad way. I never got a chance to get attached or feel anything for the characters because things happen so …
This Is the End, 2013 movie
If you’re searching a movie that will make your stomach hurt from laughing, this is one of them. This Is the End got me filled with laughter from beginning to end and never got boring.
It all starts with Jay Baruchel visiting Seth Rogen in Los Angeles. That’s correct, the …
Gunga Din Movie
Originally a story by Rudyard Kipling, this film is about english explorers and their adventures in India during the 19th century.
The film is told in an epic style, with a lot of boring camera movement and orchestral music. It was made in the 1930s in Hollywood, and for some …
Kidulthood (R, 2006) movie
It is always weird to see street kids from England. Their little accents make them sound so sweet, yet they are using language that is just as foul as American people. This movie focuses on a group of teenagers going to a school. One of the …
Final Destination 3-D movie
Final Destination 3 in super 3-D is exactly what you would expect from such a teen horror outing. The plot is incomprehensible, the acting wooden, and the entire premise implausible, yet it still delivers the goods as far as presenting an entertaining horror excursion. The audience that I viewed …
Up in the Air movie
Up in the Air surprised me. I wasn’t sure that I would like it. The reason for that is that it stars George Clooney. Sometimes, I like his stuff, and sometimes I don’t. I wasn’t anticipating much. Thus, when I was being entertained, I …
The Lovely Bones movie
Let me start out by saying that I haven’t read the novel “The Lovely Bones”, which the movie was of course based on, so I’ll have to review the movie on its own merits. The story is about a young girl who is murdered, and her afterlife experiences, as …
The Hannah Montana Movie
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.

Elf Bowling: The Movie

I didn’t know what to expect from a movie based on a …
Slumdog Millionaire
I am not a person who loves watching movies. However, the euphoria that was created by the release of Slumdog millionaire led me to watch this movie. I have to say that I love watching the movie. Yes, I have many reservations about the plot and the way film …
Titanic (1997 movie)

Movie: Vampires Suck
The movie Vampires Suck is probably the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. It is a direct spoof of all the teen vampire movies and books that have been released due to the Twilight Saga phenomenon.
There are a lot of “in-jokes” for the fans, and …
Hall Pass (movie)
I didn’t find the comedy “Hall Pass” to be as hilarious as some reviewers made it out to b. To me it was moderately funny, which was much better than I expected a comedy starring “Owen Wilson” to be since I usually think his comedies are lacking in humour. …

Date Night (2010)
Tina Fey and Steve Carrell team up together in a very funny, smart movie. Date Night is a great comedy film, well executed with lots of clever lines and comical scenes. There were a few surprises, too, as the movie wound in a different direction that I …
Columbia House DVD
I signed up with Columbia House DVD. I got a certain number of DVDs for I believe, 99 cents each with the requirement that I purchase 4 DVDs at regular price in the next 2 years. I didn’t think that would be a problems. However, everytime I went in …
Netflix
This is the best on-line movie rental program ever!! Even BlockBuster can’t come close to this. We love the selection of movies on DVD from old black and white silent to today’s current movies. TV shows that we grew up with and miss, since we think …

Mr. Destiny (1990)
I am always saying “Be careful what you wish for, as fate it seems, is not without a sense of humor” and to this day I continue to prove that very same thing. Nothing that you wish for even comes to be exactly the way you wish it; instead, …
The Hound of the Baskervilles movie (2000)
Over the years, there have been an abundance of The Hound of the Baskervilles movies out there. It’s probably Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most recognized tale which features his classic Sherlock Holmes character. Playing the iconic role in this 2000 TV movie is Matt Frewer, who is …
As Good as it Gets movie
I am reviewing the movie, As Good as it Gets, starring Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, and Greg Kinnear.

His neighbor is Simon, played by Greg Kinnear, a …
When Harry Met Sally
Yes, I know, I know: for some reason, many folks have agreed that this movie is great. Wonderful. Almost a classic… Beats me why. I watched it a couple of days ago and found it very average.
Sally and Harry meet for the first time as college students, then life …
High Crimes
I bought this movie after seeing it at goodwill for 25 cents. It was a VHS tape but since I had never seen it before, and I still have a VCR I figured for 25 cents I could watch it.
Yesterday I was kind of bored after doing all …
