Movie: Rear Window (the original)
Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window is a great movie by the master of suspense movies! The acting is phenomenal as it stars Grace Kelly (so beautiful!) and Jimmy Stewart (one of my favorite actors). Jimmy Stewart plays a character who has broken his leg and is in a wheelchair and …
Quantum of Solace
I watched Quantum of Solace a couple of months ago, since I am fan of the James Bond Series. And after watching it, I really liked it. It is basically a sequel to Casino royale in which by being betrayed by Vesper, James Bond wants revenge from his enemies …
Dance Party, USA
This movie I watch with my girl friends. It really questions friendship between the 3 of us, and we were then stumped afterwards. I know that the 3 of us each questions ourselves as to what we think of one another, and whether we have dirty secrets …
The Room, movie (2003)
Those who know me know I can enjoy a bad movie. Between a childhood of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and exposing myself to as much cinema I could get my hands on as an adult, I’ve seen quite a few stinkers in my experience. But just when …
Tales From The Crypt DVD
I recently bought over the internet the complete set of all the Tales From The Crypt episodes. I always liked this TV show and now in one huge jewel case I have all the episodes in 22 comfortable dvd’s. Unfortunately thought the quality isn’t too great, given the fact …
Men In Black II
The sequel to Men In Black suffers from the same disease that plagues most sequels, it fails to live up to the expectations that viewers had after the masterpiece of the first movie. One of the saving graces of this sequel is that the main characters come back, even …
Toy Story 3 movie

Arachnaphobia film
If you are looking for a film that will be sure to give you a creepy crawly feeling, be sure to rent Arachnaphobia.
I am not afraid of spiders (nor anything else 1000th of my size) but this movie had me checking my blankets before crawling into bed.
Starring Jeff Daniels, …

Awake movie

Awake is about Clay Beresford played by Hayden Christensen, …
Movie : 3000 Miles to Graceland
3000 Miles to Graceland is a comedic action movie starring Courteney Cox, Kurt Russell, and Kevin Costner. It is a mindless shoot I’m a movie with some genuinely funny moments. The best part of the movie was that it didn’t take itself too seriously —“ there was a serious …
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 …
How To Train Your Dragon 3D
At a first glance the movie, “How To Train Your Dragon” looks like another dreamworks movie put out there on the market to continue on the franchise of dreamworks. You may be partly correct, but just to let you know as a reviewer, I am personally fond of this …

“She Devil” (1989 Film)
The 1989 movie entitled, “She Devil” was not only one that I think many people can relate, but was a fun and entertaining movie that made me laugh out loud countless number of times. This is a movie that was made quite some time ago, so I realize that …
The Brood movie
A crazy scientist is creating an army of freaks in this supernatural horror film by David Cronenberg, perhaps one of the most disgusting films I ever saw in this genre, but also one of the most overwhelming. The tension is slowly built up and culminates in a macabre final …
Eat Pray Love movie
My husband would call this a definite “Chick” flick. No action, no thrills, just relationships and love. My feminist “hackles” go up when he says that and I feel slightly guilty to admit that I “kinda” liked this movie.
It’s not a new story …
The Golden Compass movie
I watched this today with my younger sister. I was surprised at how interested I was in the movie. Most of the time when I watch movies with her I just do it to relax and I sometimes pay real attention to the movies but other times I just …

Nim’s Island
Don’t make the mistake to regard the movie “Nim’s Island” as just another movie for kids. This movie is ideal for all the family jam-packed with drama, romance and funny moments. Apart from providing us with a cute and entertaining story, “Nim’s Island” has got an A-List of actors …

The Thirst Movie
The Thirst is one of the worst vampire movies I’ve ever seen and that’s saying a lot. I actually watch and review horror movies for payment and that means watching a lot of movies that I have no interest in watching usually. The movie follows a young girl who …

Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is a parody send up of Star Trek and Babylon 5 made by a group of friends using nothing but their own equipment and personal computers. When one realizes that, the special effects in the film (which are top notch) are all the …
Striptease Movie
I am going to be honest Striptease is a pretty boring movie to say the least. The movie has a really slow and boring story. This is probably the worst movie ever made. I just don’t know what is wrong with this movie. I mean it’s about some girl played …

The Dark Knight
Ok so I took my wife to see the much anticipated “Dark Knight” hoping that we would both enjoy it as much as the first one. We didn’t, but that’s not to say this isn’t a good movie. In fact, this is a great movie, but it …
Total Recall Movie (2012)

Ocean’s 13
I’m not going to lie. I thought Ocean’s 12 was absolutely terrible! Ocean’s 11 was, in my opinion, a very solid movie, that I thoroughly enjoyed. So when the third in line of the sequel was announced, I was a bit skeptical. But, nonetheless, I …

When A Stranger Calls (2006) movie
When a Stranger Calls is a suspense thriller that really was a waste of time. Not even scary in the least and everyone knows what exactly is going to happen.
The basis of this story is incredibly simple. There is a high school girl who is babysitting for a …

A movie about revenge for something that happened a century ago isn’t that too long to wait? A group of lepers had planned to …
Eden Lake - (starring Kelly Reilly)
Just one word to sum up Eden Lake that I’ve watched: gross. I don’t think that Eden Lake is a true story and if there are, who would in their right mind breed kids like those fanatic murderers and torturers in this movie story. I get disgusted by …
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (movie)
I generally like watching Justice League movies, so when I heard of the Flashpoint Paradox, I couldn’t wait to find the time to actually sit down and watch it. I didn’t even read up on the plot of it either, I just decided to leave everything to surprise this …
Movie Blast
When I came across the movie Blast on one of our movie channels the other night, the first thought I had was “I’ve never heard of this before.” My second thought was “Eddie Griffin in a drama? Are you kidding me?”
I originally wasn’t going to watch this movie but …
Weather Man: movie
Weather Man, starring Nicholas Cage, was released in number of years ago and was not highly successful in the box office. Perhaps this was because it was such a “different” kind of movie. It wasn’t quite a comedy, though it had some funny parts, and it wasn’t …
