127 Hours: Movie
127 Hours is a film I thoroughly enjoyed upon first viewing, but I’m not quite sure it is a film that can be watched on repeat.
I liked the fact that it was based on a true story and loved the story itself; it’s such a testament to the man …

Godzilla vs. Biollante
Godzilla vs. Biollante is a movie that I highly recommend to Godzilla fans or monster movies fans in general. Godzilla looks incredible in this movie. He actually looks real and very evil, and his original 1954 roar is used in this movie, which is very fitting and it sounds …

Even though 31 years have passed since the program has left the air, the program is still as interesting today …
Iron Man
Today I went to see Iron Man. What an excellent film.
This is the first of all the Marvel films that I feel like really had it all. A good plot, story line, special effects, cast of characters and really solid acting.
It’s rare to find this combination in a film …

Unlawful Entry (1992)
Living in fear I your own home is one thing, but when the fear of the people who have been assigned to protect and serve also fall into the same category then that is definite need for worry and distress. An LA couple’s lives has been turned upside down …
Amercian Gangster
I was really excited to watch this movie because it had Denzel washington in it. He is one of my favorite actors. I was kind of bored throughout the whole movie. I felt like it wasn’t going anywhere. I still haven’t watched the end of the movie. It is …

Johnny English
Starring: Rowan Atkinson (Johnny English), Ben Miller (Bough) John Malkovich (Pascal Sauvage ), Lorna Campbell (Natalie Imbruglia)
I think the name of Rowan Atkinson itself attracted me to this movie. Having known him as that disgusting yet endearing Mr Bean and his absurd antics, he did not disappoint at …
Goodfellas Movie
Scorsese’s depiction of the mafia society is regarded as a classic by many, and tells the life story of a man growing up with these mobsters and rising to the top very quickly. Scorsese uses a voice-over (a narrator) in a way here that has been influential on later …
Movie Transformers
Transformers was one of the most awaited films of 2007. And honestly, I wasn’t really that keen on watching it, maybe because I never was aware of the animated series in the 80’s. But because one of my closest friends really wants to watch it, I decided to come …
Thor: Movie
Thor is a movie I went into with some pessimism, but came out pleasantly surprised and see it as one of my favourite movies of 2011.
Another comic-book adaption, I thought Thor’s story was very well developed and can be seen as an entertaining viewing for children and adults alike.
Firstly, …
Cat’s Eye movie
This is an “anthology” film. It features three self contained stories. The closest thing to a link is a stray cat that wanders from location to location and sort of observes the events in the film.
The stories are all based on works by horror master Stephen King. …
Robocop Movie
It rained Saturday so we were pretty much stuck inside the house all day. I ended up flipping channels and came across a movie I haven’t seen in a long while; Robocop.
I didn’t remember a whole lot about the movie but figured it was one that was good when …
Discovering the real world of Harry Potter
I felt a little silly when I first began to read the harry Potter books. These are books for children I told myself so why did I find it so entertaining. I’ve read other books for children since I became an adult of course, but those had already moved …
Justin Bieber, Never Say Never In 3D
So I saw the Justin Bieber Never SAy Never in 3D yesterday, and let me just say this… Im not an avid Justin fan, i liked him a lot more before but the hype kind of wore off for me. This movie though, wow is not even a good …

Namastey London
With a mixed starcast, and without any solid story, Namstey London still succeeded to attract audience.
It is a triangular love story where an Indian woman is in love with an English man. However,her parents wanted her to marry to an Indian guy but this marriage lasts to be of …
The Love Guru movie
I enjoy a Mike Meyers movie now and then. He has not made a movie I really liked since Austin Powers but my Neflix list was empty and I decided to give this movie a try. It was about like any Mike Meyers or Jim Carrey movie. …
Movie: Dear John
Dear John is a movie based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. I would say the novel was more outstanding than the movie, in terms of details. The movie however, is still a great romance flick to watch with your significant other.
The movie starrs Channing Tatum as John and …
Movie Flight of Phoenix
‘Flight of Phoenix’ is a movie directd by John Moore. In this movie, pilot Dennis Quaid’s flight crashes on a scorching sandy desert. All the actors play the parts of the survivors of the crash. They are parched and anxious. All these actors have performed their roles wonderfully well. …

Dead End movie (2003)
“Dead End” is one of those obscure, relatively unknown, direct-to-video horror movies that I came across on cable. I like the lead actor, Ray Wise, who once starred in the surreal TV series, “Twin Peaks.” I also like watching a suspenseful horror film from time to time. It’s just …

No Country for Old Men tells the story of Lewellyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a hunter who stumbles across a drug deal gone bad and a case of …
Prince Caspian
I think that the movie Prince Caspian is unduly overlooked. I am a huge fan of Narnia, so maybe I’m biased, but I do believe that this movie deserves far more recognition and rave. Ever since the first Narnia movie was released, I looked forward to Prince Caspian; the …
Life is Hot in Cracktown movie
On Friday night I was searching the TV guide for something to watch and saw that there was a movie being aired on Showtime called “Life is Hot in Cracktown”. While I figured it was going to be a pointless independent film that I might even have a hard …

Baby Mama (2008)
Baby Mama is another new released movie that I’ve watched. I love the fact that my friend has some free passes since he works in the cinema line. I wouldn’t want to take advantage of his kindness but I really am a movie junkie and a book …

Date Movie
This movie is hilarious. Starring Allison Hannigan, this movie is like the Scary Movie series in that it makes fun of other movies but this time it’s parodies mostly revolve around romantic comedies and some others. These include Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Hitch, Wedding Planner, …
Netflix.com
When I first saw that Netflix was offering the same thing that Blockbuster was, but with the “Watch Instantly” option, I thought that it had to be the coolest thing ever. And it really is. I had been using Blockbuster.com for a year and was really …
Silent Hill movie
I wasn’t sure if I would like Silent Hill after learning it was based on a video game, but, after watching it, I have to admit it was one of the scarier movies to come out in a while.
Radha Mitchell plays Rose, a mother who loses her daughter while …
Some Kind of Wonderful movie
One of the most classic and beloved american high school movies of the 1980s, perhaps not as well known as Fast times at Ridgemont High for example, but Some kind of wonderful is definitely my own personal favorite. In the centre of the story stands a rebellious young man, …
Trains Planes & Automobiles movie
I watched the movie Trains Planes & Automobiles a long time ago and didn’t remember a whole lot about the movie. So, when I got a chance to watch it again last night, I decided to (there wasn’t anything good on TV now that Monk is off the air).
I …
That Girl - Season Three DVD set
That Girl’s Season Three DVD set is the least packed of the first three sets in terms of bonus material. Shout Factory has kept the same packaging theme and style as the others. It’s colorful and features the famous silhouette of Marlo Thomas as That Girl that …
Hide and Seek
Hide and Seek is an intense, well structured, mysterious and frightening movie. I watched this as I was a fan of Dakota Fanning, and found this movie to be spectacular.
Of course, there are many twists and things that confused me a little, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like …
Orphan movie
The movie “Orphan” from 2009 was a must see for me after hearing about all the controversy surrounding it. I have heard that some were concerned that it would discourage prospective parents from adopting. I would assume, after seeing the film, that these people were basing their fears on …

Constant Gardener movie
If you went by the description on the back of the movie, the Constant Gardener is the best thriller to ever come to DVD. But, had there been anything better on television, I would have turned the movie off after the first 30 minutes.
Set in Africa, Justin Quayle, a …
An American Carol
This is without doubt one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! I admit when I checked it out I had never heard of it before, but I saw it stared Leslie Nielsen and I had always found him very funny in the “Naked Gun” movies. The DVD box …
Man Of Steel Movie
A year after the glamorous finale of the last trilogy of Batman with “The Dark Knight Rising” in theaters appeared another, perhaps even more epic adventure , inspired by the comic book universe of DC. “Man of Steel” launches a new series of Superman - the oldest and most …
Rush Hour 3
Very forgettable movie. Does not compare to Rush Hour 1 and 2. The jokes were old and used from Rush Hour one and Two. I thought the main characters Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker were shadows of their former selves. Chris Tucker looked like he gained 80 pounds. Jackie Chan’s …
