Due South: Manhunt
For me, one of the big things I liked about Due South: Manhunt is that guest star Leslie Nielsen was able to show some of his dramatic abilities. For years, Nielsen did almost nothing but serious roles. Then he hit it big with the parodies like Airplane, …
Happy feet movie
I first watched this movie was on dvd with my little cousins. It was quite interesting with the nice dancing and singing. The storyline was pretty good. One thing I didn’t really understand was how Mumble, the main penguin went back his own specific colony of penguins, but I …
Cyborg 1989 Movie Starring Van Damme
I guess what I am going to be trying to do right now is to justify the grade I am about to give this movie. I am going to give this movie the grade of eight out of ten, and assert that it is a very good film. I …
Stranger Than Fiction
The movie Stranger Than Fiction had an awesome trailor at the movie theater and seemed so diffrent from most any other movie I had seen. So I rented it on demand yesterday. It was a huge disappointment! The movie is very slow paced and nothing exciting really happens it …
Lion king 2
This was an alright movie. I liked the first one a lot better than the second one. It was still alright though. I enjoyed seeing all of the characters again in the movie. It was a lot shorter than the first one but I am kind of glad it …
Fargo (1996) Movie
Based on the synopsis of this film by Joel and Ethan Cohen, I would not have bothered with Fargo, but a friend whose opinion I trusted recommended I watch it and it is now one of my favorites. Set in wintry Minnesota, William H. Macy plays a dodgy …

Dhoom-2
I think the Indians films will be giving hollywood a run for money in few years. Dhoom-2 is a very good film, except for the few minor cliches the film is a treat to watch. Hrithik Roahan rocks even in the negative role. The film is worth watching only …
The 5th Wave (2016 Science Fiction Thriller Movie)
I spent a long time wondering what happened to the actor Tobey Maguire since I didn’t see him in any movies or TV series in a long time. Therefore, when I heard that he was producing a movie The 5th Wave I was eager to see it. I became even …
Dixiana movie
Dixiana was a musical from 1930 that was one of those love stories that combined the boy from the good side of the tracks with the girl from the bad side, only I don’t really get the societal norm of the time that stated that circus performers were some …
Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West
PBS has some of the most interesting shows on TV in our area. One of my favorite ones, they aired in 2002 was “Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West”. It was a Canadian version of Frontier House. My husband says I\’m obsessed with shows of this type …
Movie The Terminal
The Terminal with Tom Hanks.
This is without a doubt one of Tom Hanks best movies. Though the storyline is unique and interesting, its success rests solely on this fine actor’s shoulders.
The story is simple. It is neither dramatic nor does …
Precious movie (2009)
I first heard of the movie “Precious” when I was watching the Larry King Live interview with the singer Mariah Carey. In the interview Larry had asked her about an upcoming movie that she was in, and I immediately became interested in finding out more about the film, …
Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace, in my calm, objecive opinion, was the worst piece of trash I have ever had the misfortune of buying a ticket to see. Many people have trashed Daniel Craig as the …

Sky High movie
Sky High is a 2005 move that mixes elements of both the superhero and teen movie genres into an enjoyable, exceptionally fun movie going experience. It’s not the best movie around, and certainly isn’t the best composite of it;s two respective genres, but it is still a very watchable …
War of the Worlds (Movie 2005)
This is an interesting film to watch for the first time as you just want to see the outcome. To want to watch this movie more than once is strictly an individual experience, as I found that it does not have what it takes to hold me glued to …
Total Recall Movie (2012)
Walking into the movie theater, I was a bit nervous. I did not know what to expect and I really hoped that I would like the movie. The original Total Recall has become somewhat of a classic, at least in my circle of family and friends. Doing a remake …

Norbit movie
Norbit was advertised as a “family film”. At least that’s what i got from the commercials. Right from the beginning, the movie throws completely crude one liners. While I found them absolutely hillarious as an adult, i found it a little inappropriate for the children in …
Say It Isn’t So movie
“Say It Isn’t So” was mainly promoted as the movie from the same producers of “Something About Mary”. However this movie together with the movie “Me, You and Irene” cannot really be compared to the great success of “Something About Mary”. I must also admit that between “Me, You …
50 First Dates
50 First Dates stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
This classic love story takes place in beautiful Oahu, Hawaii, and aside from this location, it was clearly a clone of the Wedding Singer that also starred these two actors. Aside from this fact, I loved the …
Grandma’s Boy movie
A couple years ago when I had all of the movie channels they played this on one of them and I ended up watching it. It was better than I thought it was going to be. I really only started watching it because there was nothing else better on. …
The Green Berets movie
John Wayne was one of the most patriotic personalities in America. He was devout in his devotion, and he was very vocal. Not everyone agreed with him or liked him, but The Duke put his money where his mouth was, including producing and directing this military picture in …
Machete (2010 film)
I want to preface this review by saying that this is one of my favorite movies because it embraces what it is. It is an action movie that focuses primarily on the action. This is the type of movie that you watch solely for entertainment value. It is not …
Movie Freedomland
One of my favorite movies. It kept me interested and entertained. I wasn’t bored throughout any of it. The ending was really good and surprised me, I didn’t expect the ending of it and I think that is one reason I liked it so much, because it was a …
The Illusionist
“The Illusionist” and “The Prestige” had hit movie theaters with only about a month’s difference; they both tell a story of 19 century stage magicians in Europe. I don’t know whose idea it was to release two movies on the same subject at the same time and whether they …
The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
I don’t know what on the earth prompt me to go for this movie; I had already read so many reviews about the film with filled mixed reactions. Those who had watched highly acclaimed classic with the same name made in 1951 simply loathed this one. I myself had …
Must Love Dogs movie
We recently rented the DVD “Must Love Dogs,” starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. Or, I should say, my wife rented it.
This is definitely a roma-comedy, a chick flick, more appropriate to a girls nite with Ben & Jerry than to a nite with her husband.
There is some …

The Tourist movie
This movie is about Angelina Jolie going to Europe and a lot of men watching. Men who repeatedly insisted to call her Elise Ward. I never understood why, the film is about Angelina Jolie that goes to and through Europe and the following are watching her: French police, the …
The Butcher Movie
The thing about slasher movies is they normally are good if you’re looking for a good laugh or just like watching a lot of blood and gore. But, as far as being scary, most fall well short of expectations.

The Adventures of Robin Hood DVD
I am not a huge Robin Hood buff, although I have enjoyed a Robin Hood movie or two in my times. I picked up this DVD collection mainly because of the price: an entire season, 39 episodes, for 5 bucks. It looked decent enough, and I do …
Legally Blonde
I have watched Legally Blonde like 5 times and counting, and still I am not bored with it at all. The DVD is always amongst my top 5 of movies that I will watch on a regular basis and Reese Witherspoon sizzles as we already know and alongside Luke …

Eight Legged Freaks

Suffering Man’s Charity/ Ghost Writer (2007)
I thought this was going to be a really good movie, I heard really good things about it, plus, the cast list was very impressive. At the beginning of the movie, when things seemed a little bit too eccentric for and to weird, I just said to myself …
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 …
First Harry Potter Movie
The movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, directed by Chris Columbus, is a great movie! First of all, I am a huge Harry Potter fan who has read all of these books over and over and over, so while excited about the movies, I was also nervous about …
Hero (2004) Movie
A movie about a plot to kill the emperor…now where has this been done before?? The use of colours in this movie is overdone and it makes the movie confusing as well. Each different explanation of a particular story brings a different colour in play…what are the colours trying …
“Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox” movie
I have been enjoying the DC Animated movies. Granted, there are still a few that I need to see, but I’ve enjoyed a vast majority of them quite a bit. I hadn’t read the comic story that this entry was based on, and while I wouldn’t say …
