Washington Square movie
This is a remake of the 1949 classic titled “The Heiress,” starring Olivia de Havilland. While the original is hard to beat, the remake is actually not too bad. Of course, there are some rather questionable additions and a definite feminist touch, but what else can you expect from …

500 Days of Summer movie
The movie 500 Days of Summer is a bittersweet romantic comedy based around a man and the girl he thinks he has fallen in love with. It is not your usual sort of romance comedy, though, and the viewer knows this before the picture is ten minutes into …

Girl Happy movie
1965 gave the world another Elvis Presley movie, this time called Girl Happy. It featured, once again, Shelley Fabares. She and the King had a real chemistry going, but I have to say that I hated her hairdo in this flick. She looked really funny with …
Mighty Aphrodite Movie
Mighty Aphrodite is a great, fun movie from writer and director Woody Allen, released in 1994 I believe. It is rich with gags and one-liners all the way through so the script is great, with Woody at his best giving his funny delivery of the lines and also …
The Rescuers
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Rescuers. Now, Disney has had some pretty interesting Disney characters in the past, but it is a rarity to find mice as the main characters. In the Rescuers, that is the case. There is a group of mice known as …
My Week with Marilyn Monroe (movie)
I’ve been into quite a lot of action films especially lately so it’s easy to see how a movie like this would have escaped my attention at first. I’m not even going to call myself a gigantic Marilyn Monroe fan but the little I’ve heard of her and just …

Tropic Thunder
I watched Tropic Thunder the first day that it was released and it was such an enjoyable, funny and out of this world hilarious type of movie. Ben Stiller rocks! as a Director and I give him two thumbs up, without thinking for a second.
Call me biased or what, …

The group of well known British comics who used to star in “Monty Python Flying Circus” short films came out with a film in 1975 called “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”. Now, this film is without a doubt an acquired type of comedy, but a comedy none the …
The Incredible Hulk (2008 version)
“The Incredible Hulk” is a great movie but unfortunately it was released during the same period as another great blockbuster “Iron Man” and so member of the general public tend to do comparisims. Although “The Incredible Hulk” has got all the right ingredients for a …
Charlie’s Angels
I must give credit to Drew Barrymore for bringing to the big screen “Charlie’s Angels” with the girls not using firearms but instead using martial arts to defend themselves. The angels Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz had to undergo 3 months martial arts training …
The Green Hornet, Blu-ray Superhero action comedy film
Who is to blame for the Green Hornet movie? Can we blame director Michel Gondry for coming back to the project after he rejected it back in 1997? Or can we blame all of the countless delays that start with writers bailing out to simple crew members? Maybe we …

Dedication Movie
In must admit that I really enjoy watching Mandy Moore’s movie; however “Dedication” failed to impress me. Even though the great actors, Diane Wiest and Tom Wilkinson give a lot to this movie, ultimately I found it a boring romantic comedy. It seems that I am not the only …

Alvin and the Chipmunks
Although my daughter is too young to write reviews, she surely knows how to show if she enjoyed watching a film or not. “Alvin and the Chipmunks” is amongst her favourite and she keeps watching it and watching it. Soon I will start knowing the film script by heart!
Although …
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
This was my favorite of the Original Trilogy. If you think of the three earlier films as one complete story, then Empire is the all-important second act. I like this film for several reasons.
First, it expanded on the Star Wars Universe introduced in A New Hope. This meant new …
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie
I think the movie “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” was supposed to be based upon a novel by the same name as I think I remember my boyfriend recommending it to me to read. However, I never read the book and I only watched the movie. I can …

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010 Movie)
This movie opened today, and it was a huge disappointment for me just as I had expected. The past Harry Potter movies were already quite disappointing as it didn’t stick to the book and I honestly think white lies were made as to who did this and who did …
Miracle on Ice
I do not like hockey; I just don’t. It’s violent; besides, who can follow that puck around the ice? Still, during the 1980 Winter Olympics, I found myself watching a few of the hockey games. The reason was the phenomenal run to the gold that the …
Walk Don’t Run movie
One of the movies I always enjoy watching is Cary Grant’s last film, Walk Don’t Run, from 1966. Grant was such a wonderful talent. I really regret that he felt like his fans wouldn’t want to see him as a non-romantic lead in a movie. I …
Flintstones on the Rocks
I didn’t remember that this movie existed until recently when I found an old DVD of it at my cousin’s house and decided to watch it again so maybe I could write a review on it. It came out in my earlier years in high school which was about …

Evan Almighty
When we rented the movie Evan Almighty, I didn’t know what to expect. The orginal film, Bruce Almighty, was pretty good but sequels aren’t always as good as the original.
We found that, not only was it a great movie, it had a good message too. In fact, my …
Movie: Zombieland
When I first heard of the movie Zombieland, I wasn’t planning on watching it. I figured it would be like every other horror movie spoof out there and would be a big waste of my time.
However, my wife did want to watch it and, after some argument, I caved …

Anyone who’s seen Ted (2012), knows how hilarious a vulgar, talking teddy bear can be. Ted 2 delivers on the expectations set by Ted, but with less of a story and more focus on humour.
Ted 2 continues the story of a talking teddy bear, Ted and his best friend, John …
Fight Club
Many movie critics labelled the movie “Fight Club” as a Brad Pitt movie. Although it is undeniable a very important movie for Pitt, “Fight Club” is an Edward Norton movie. The story is focused totally on Norton’s character and he manages to hold the audience glowed to the screen …
Never Been Kissed
Never Been Kissed is a pretty good movie. I really liked it. It shows how love can still really be found in this world. I think that Drew barrymore did a very good job of acting. Her acting was just so magical. I really liked the plot and the story …

1408 Movie
I have seen a lot of scary movies in my life but I have to say that 1408 was very possibly the scariest. There are few movies I can think of, certainly made recently, that have so effectively scared the willies out of me. I was actually …
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind film
How the story unfolded was quite interesting. It’s a beautifully woven tale of two souls who, after having been separated by science, still manage to find each other again, because of a force far greater than any form of futuristic technology — love.
I enjoyed the cast of characters of …
The Haunted Mansion
I am not an Eddie Murphy fan. I wasn’t fond of him back in the days of Saturday Night Live, and I have never liked his comedy bits. He’s way too out of my comfort zone for acceptable and appropriate comedy. That said, the best thing …
Sapphire Girls
My wife picked up the movie Sapphire Girls the other day because she read the back of it and it sounded like an intriguing drama.
It turned out to be nothing more than a soft core porn film; and not a very good one at that.
The movie, which is about …
Rhythm and Blues Revue movie
Rhythm and Blues Revue labeled with a 1955 release is really just a bunch of performances down like a night club show. There’s no story plot; there’s only the show. However, it is a lot of fun, with a full roster of African American performers.
Below are a …
Airheads
I love any type of movies starring Brendan Fraser! He rocks truly, and Airheads is one of those movies that made me butt-crack laughing with bit of tears in my eyes.
The trio, or rather called Airheads were really funny and they gave a loud and seemingly clever …
Iron Man
Iron Man, I thought it was going to be a movie for the boys, like transformers or something like that, but it was really something more. It was a movie for everyone. It was mysterious, suspenseful, and even had a dash of romance. I have put it on my …
Movie Love Actually
I must admit that “Love Actually” is one of my favourite all time movies. What makes this movie so special is the fact that it tackles the theme of love from various angles in a simple and straight forward manner.
In this movie we get to meet eight different stories …
Be Kind Rewind dvd
I watched Be Kind Rewind last week starring Jack Black and Mos Def. I had high expectations of this comedy for some reason, I guess the previews just made it look like a great film. As I was attempting to stay awake thru the movie, I kept thinking”No its …
DVD North Country
Imagine a Lifetime Television Original with a bunch of four letter words and you get North Country.
North Country tells the (cliched) true tale of a woman who brought a class action sexual harrassement suit against the bad dialogue spewing management of a coal mine.
Movies like this have been a …

“Herbie Fully Loaded” is the fifth movie about the famous car Herbie that could react to what is happening around here. The other four previous movies were “The Bug Love” (1968),”Herbie Rides Again” (1974), “Herbie goes to Monte Carlo” (1977) and “Herbie Goes Bananas” (1980). Although I didn’t watch …
