Reptilicus movie
A most bizarre danish science fiction b-movie from the 1960s. A terrible monster seems to appear out of nowhere and starts terrorising people. The military sees no way of getting rid of the creature and is getting more and more desperate.
This could indeed be the very definition of a …
Runaway Bride (1999)
Runaway Bride, directed by Garry Marshall is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for language and some suggestive dialogue. The original release date for this movie was July 30, 1999 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Romance and stars Julia Roberts …
Watchmen (2009)
Watchmen was a movie released in 2009 based on the enormously popular graphic novel with the same name. Personally I have not read the graphic novel, but I know many people who have and who said that the movie is an excellent interpretation. However, having seen the …
Breach
The best way to describe the movie “Breach” is a Bourne story without the action. Based on a true story, “Breach” has a great cast of actors Chris Cooper, Ryan Phillippe and Laura Linney. The true pity is that this movie was released in the same year …
Bee Movie
I hesitated to watch the film “Bee Movie” since I thought that it would be just a silly little children’s animated film. However, after seeing it going on over and over on cable television I decided to just watch it and evn though it was not a masterpiece, I …
Tokyo Story (1953 film) from Criterion Collection
I need to recover from watching too many Audrey Hepburn movies and TCM over cable television. I wondered why this film always made it to everyone’s list of favorite movies. In an effort to change my film source, I looked at some hard to find copies of …
DOMINION,movie
This movie begins in Poland, when the German’s had invaded the Country. The start of this movie may truly rattle you, and I know that you will be jolted when certain things happen, so quickly, that you will find it hard to realize that this is how things just …
Movie The Unborn
Let’s cut to the chase. If you are planning on renting “The Unborn,” do yourselves a huge favor and save your dollars for a rainy day. You’ll be better off nailing your eyeballs shut than watching this misleading sorry waste of time. This film is poorly written and poorly …
Sisterhood of the traveling pants 2
I rented and watched the sisterhoods of traveling pants 2 today. I’ve never seen the first one but I understood most of it. It was kind of boring at parts, and I felt like something was missing in it. It is a teen movie so maybe that is why …
The Count of Monte Cristo Movie
This is one of the best classic medieval stories I have ever watched! Jim Caviezel is the main actor here playing the part of poor Edmond Dantes, who’s just a commoner intent on marrying his long-time lady love Mercedes Iguanada, portrayed by Dagmara Dominczyk in real life. Edmond’s “best …
The Hours (2002)
Based on one of my favourite novels ever, Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf, this movie explores the inner world of three different women, living in three different times. They’re all connected to eachother somehow, the first being none other than the writer, Virginia Woolf (played by Nicole Kidman), who …
Tangled Movie
Another fairy tale princess movie from Disney that is a throw back to the good old days of enchantment and sweetness.
Rapunzel, kidnapped as a baby, is imprisoned in a tower by a woman she grows up thinking is her mother. Each year on her birthday her …
Jennifer’s Body movie
Well, we finally rented the movie Jennifer’s Body last night. As expected, the film was an OK movie and we got reminded of just how sexy Megan Fox really is. But, I have to say the movie also proved to be a bit of a disappointment.
The plot involving Fox …
Melancholia (2011 film)
Lars Von Trier is a spectacular film-maker for many reasons-his meaningful, charismatic, dark and devouring style, but what really makes his movies memorable is the fact how despairing and the amount of negative feelings that Melancholia for instance arouses with me. I am not stating that …
Movie: Date Night
Synopsis: While on a date in the city, a married couple, whose relationship has fallen into a bit of a rut, decides to use someone else’s reservation to get a table at a popular restaurant. Unfortunately for them, they use a reservation belonging to a pair of crooks and, …

Sgt. Bilko
Sgt. Bilko with Steve Martin, Dan Akroyd, Phil Hartman, and Glenne Headly.
I remember the old black and white TV show with Phil Silvers in the role of Sgt. Bilko. It was one of my favorites and had a great supporting cast. Trying to stretch …
Beauty and The Beast: Blu Ray Edition
One of my all time favourite child hood movies is Beauty and The Beast, so when it came out as a blu-ray edition over The Christmas period I jumped at the chance to be able to purchase it.
With the package came three separate DVD’s. The movie in …
E.T. movie
E.T. is the well-known film about an alien from outer space coming to the earth and becoming a friend to a couple of children in America. Steven Spielberg started to loose his touch from the 1970s with this film in my opinion and it’s clear he only ever made …
Ghostbusters II (1989)
Ghostbusters II kinda picks up where the last one left off with the gang chasing ghosts for profit, but this time the stakes are higher. After the business was basically destroyed after they got sued for making a mess of the town, the threat of ghostly attacks become wide …

I liked watching Practical Magic; it had an interestingly unconventional storyline which gets you hooked into it. Its about two sister’s who has been raised by their aunt’s since their parents death, but find out they are not really living in quite a normal household. Their aunts feeds them …

Mystery Science Theater 3000, movie (1995)
Influential films and programmes come in all shapes and sizes, ones that inspire you to go out and make videos yourself. I find there are three categories of influential media: first are the ones that you’re told changed how the media industry works, like —˜Citizen Kane’ or —˜Birth or …
Movie Collateral
In the movie “Collateral” one can see the actor, Tom Cruise with a strange hair colour and the actor, Mark Ruffalo with gel in his hair and sporting an earring. Apart from these funny facts, “Collateral” had to be a Tom Cruise drama movie; however I felt that the …
Final Fantasy Unlimited: Phase 1
You would think that a DVD called “Final Fantasy Unlimited: Phase 1″ would follow the golden Final Fantasy recipe.
What is the Final Fantasy recipe?
1.Great involving storyline
2.Unexpected Changes
3.Great character lines
4.Realistic but still surreal characters
5.Topnotch graphics
6.Amazing music
What does this DVD have?
1.Amazing music
Whatever happened to the other 5 elements? They were butchered.
Short …
Pay It Forward (2001)
Watching this, Pay It Forward (2001) on the DVD the other night gave me a bit of self-confidence to embrace life more better.
The movie story stars Helen Hunt, Kevin Spacey and if you remember the talented kid from the movie the Sixth Sense, it is none other than …
Madagascar 2
A truly great family movie that I was eagerly anticipating following the hit first title and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie with a couple of friends.
Full of laughs and witty little jokes and lines, this movie had me light hearted and comically relieved throughout and I really had a …
Chuck Vs the Third Dimension
I’m not sure what the problem was, but the three d glasses which were made available for this episode but they didn’t work all that well. I suspect that I sit closer to my TV than most people, so I’m going to assume that was it for now.
The plot …
“D-Day the Sixth of June” Movie
The 1956 war movie about D-Day begins with the incredibly handsome lead actors Captain Brad Parker (Robert Taylor) and Lt. Colonel John Wynter (Richard Todd) standing on deck of a ship, while crossing the English Channel during the stormy crossing to land on D-Day. The movie spends most of …

Blood diamond
I have watched countless movies in the last year and personally rate Blood Diamond on a par with The Departed as 2006’s best movie. Another strong, mature performance from DiCaprio ensures this movie never flags.
In recent times there has been a glut of African “conscience” movies but this has …
Red Eye Movie
This seemed like a very interesting story, not really your average suspense movie as it does have a bit of action involved. The movie is about a girl who’s a hotel manager (Rachel McAdams) and she just goes home for a vacation and meets a nice young man (Cillian …
Murder by Television movie
It’s Bela Lugosi doing his thing in the vintage movie, Murder by Television. This is going back to the beginnings of TV, when networks and manufacturers were making the concept work and striving to make it better than their competitor.
This movie is all about industrial piracy, so …
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning Movie
A kind of parody that makes fun of science fiction series, Star Trek in front of all. About a Captain named Pirk who travels back in time the save the human kind. The people he meets find him difficult to believe in and obviously thinks he is come kind …
Sherlock Holmes 2009: The Movie
Sherlock Holmes is another great performance by Robert Downy Jr. who keeps the story extremely entertaining and exciting. Although at times the plot can be expected, it continues to keep mostly everyone interested in the movie. The plot is fun and exciting to watch as Sherlock Holmes puts together …
The Matrix Revolutions movie
Oh yes…it is a Trilogy. Every body wants to make a trilogy. As if the first two weren’t enough, now we must sit through another long winded three and a half hour movie with the clueless saviour of all. Need I say anymore. Action, storyline, dialogue, monologue…the same as …
Juno film
“Juno” is a 2007 film directed by Jason Reitman, and starring Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman. This is a really good movie about a mouthy but obviously smart teenager who becomes pregnant and has to navigate through all the possible courses of action she …
The Unborn (2009 horror film)
The Unborn is a horror film that I watched one evening after running across the title on the internet movie database. I was interested, even though the description of the film is brief and leaves much to the imagination.
The unborn sounded like it was going to be the spooky …
“The English Patient” starring Juliette Binoche and Kristin Scott Thomas
The 1996 movie “The English Patient” won nine Oscars and was nominated for three more. The movie won as Best Picture and Juliette Binoche won best supporting actor for Binoche. Kristin Scott Thomas lost as best actress to Frances Mcdormand and her campy portrayal of a pregnant police officer in …
Disturbia movie
When I saw this film come out in theatres, I thought that it would be just like all the others out there. There are always those teen films with the requisite killer, and one of those teens ends up dying, etc. etc. But this movie was …
Camp Rock by Jonas Brothers
Teenage ladies, brace yourself for if you are a big fan of Jonas Brothers, then watching Camp Rock by Jonas Brothers on DVD would be very worth it. If you have Disney channel, you might have come across this movie. It is something like a nice movie about …
Beauty and the Beast
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is my all-time favorite animated movie. It is indeed a timeless cinema classic. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this movie but I never get tired of watching it over and over again. It’s the story of a prince who was turned …
The movie I am Legend
I am one of those people who love scary or mysterious movies. You know what I’m talking about the “what if this happened movies.” I love all kind of movies, but I was really wanting to see the “I am Legend” movie with Will Smith. I must mention that …
Titan A.E. (2000)
The animated movie based in the future of the world tries to enlighten the viewers that discovery of things great and small must be done with extreme caution and due respect for other species and their way of life. This movie shows that the discovery of an alien race …
Movie: “Ghost Town”
A surprisingly funny and charming movie, “Ghost Town” tells the story of Bertram Pincus, an unpleasant dentist reminiscent of Ebenezer Scrooge. His attitude toward life: bah, humbug. When he dies briefly on the operating table, he wakes up with the unwanted ability to see ghosts. It doesn’t take long …
Duplex movie
I thought the movie Duplex was one of the most hilarious Ben Stiller movies I remember seeing. I did not even expect it to be so funny before I saw it either and I would normally pick up whether a comedy film is going to be funny as soon …
Stuart Little 2: The Movie
I was never a big fan of the first Stuart Little. The whole idea that two adults would adopt a little talking mouse was always a little creepy to me, because even though I think that mice are kind of cute, I probably would have run away as soon …
