Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame
A classic remake in animation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It’s wonderful use of colours left my eyes watering…and the plot was good. Good guys showed their courage, bad guys showed how evil they can be, and gargoyles showed they had no legs…lol. This is another great animated …
Spring Breakdown
Well, I wasn’t sure what to expect when my wife and I watched the movie Spring Breakdown last night. I didn’t know if it was going to be a chick flick or if it would have a lot of unnecessary sex scenes in it.
It turned out to have neither …

Warlock movie
I found this movie a lot of fun. It seems to me a mixture of genres: a little bit fantasy with the magic, a little bit action with all the running around and a little bit horror with the bad guy killing people. The movie is well made and …

At the tender age of six, Margaret O’Brien had top starring billing in 1943’s Lost Angel, a story about a girl dispassionately named Alpha who is raised by a group of scientists without the frills of fun and fairytales. After she’s questioned by a reporter who tells her …
The Fall of the Roman Empire movie
A classic epic by the underrated filmmaker Anthony Mann. It depicts the whole last period of the Roman Empire in detail and gives one possible theory of what caused its fall (which historians aren’t quite sure of). Great actors like Alec Guinness and Omar Sharif makes this film even …
The Purge: Election Year (2016 Thriller Movie)
Even though the “The Purge” movie franchise hasn’t exactly had the best ratings, I still continue to watch the movies because I like the concept. As a result, I only had minimal expectations before I watched The Purge: Election Year and it turned out to be every bit as bad …
Resident Evil movie
Resident Evil. As the name suggests we think we’re entering the world of survival horror…
Yes! That’s right. Because we’ve in mind the strong console Game “Resident Evil”. Really a success!
The question is: “Could a film reproduce the atmosphere of the king of horror videogames?”
According to Andersson, the Film Director, …
Star Trek (2009)
Although I enjoyed seeing the new Star Trek movie, I have to say that the writers really dropped the ball with the script and some of the characterizations. The story was quite poor and not very interesting at all, and it seemed as if the story was written around …
Evolution (Movie 2001)
David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Julianne Moore, Seann William Scott and Dan Aykroyd star in this science-fiction film with non-stop laughter. Spawning from single celled organisms, comes and laugh out load, side splitting adventure to save the world. There are so many movies about the end of the world as …

The Skull Movie Starring Peter Cushing
When I heard about this movie, I was eager to watch it, being that I heard that it was about the haunted skull of the historical figure the “Marquis de Sade”, the same person who the word “sadism” was coined from.
It is also not to be confused with …
The Devil Wears Prada
I typically like Anne Hathaway’s movies but the Devil Wears Prada just didn’t do anything for me.
Hathaway plays an up and coming journalism student who takes an internship at a fashion magazine and finds herself going from social outcast to the favorite of her boss (played by Meryl Streep). …

One night when I was channel surfing for something interesting to watch, I stumbled onto a PBS special called Alone in The Wilderness. It is a movie based on a book written by Dick Proenneke. It was about his life and how he went to Alaska to live a …
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 …
The Woman In Red
The Woman In Red with Gene Wilder and Kelly LeBrock.
This is your classic romantic comedy, but one in which you expect disaster at any moment. As we first see Kelly LeBrock do her Marilyn Monroe take on the dance over the heating vent, we …

Movie Once
“Once” is a good musical movie, but could have been better if the shooting of this movie was more on a steady level. I personally watched this film at home and I am grateful because if I ended up watching it at the cinema, I definitely would have felt …
Sleepers: Movie
I found Sleepers to be quite an interesting film, mainly due to the fact that I am a fan of a good revenge story.
I wasn’t entirely satisfied at the ending, but I feel that the emotion captured by the actors was so good that it softened the blow a …

What a horrifying situation, to be stranded in a foreign country, and caught up in the schemes of dealers of death. The premise of Turistas (Spanish for tourists) is straightforward. A group of tourists, fresh from a bus accident, find a beach to relax on before walking off to …
High School Musical
Can two different people from two different worlds apart get together? A lot of stories have already answered that question, but perhaps the most popular story among them is Disney’s “High School Musical”.
This made-for-TV movie follows the story of Troy Bolton (Zac Efron), a basketball jock, and Gabriella Montez …

Starred Up (drama movie)
Starred Up was one of those movies that was recommended to me. However, at the time I didn’t pay it much attention because I’ve never heard the movie mentioned anywhere else. I figured it was going to be one of those low budget flops that was more of a waste …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Whenever you try to remake a popular cartoon of the 80s or 90s into a live-action film, you run quite a few risks. And, just as often as not, many attempts at this wind up being complete disasters.
Fortunately, Alvin and the Chipmunks was not one of those films.
We’ve been …
Mother knows Best movie (1997)
This movie should not be confused with another film that was released in the late nineteen twenties. I actually saw this film on Lifetime some time ago and heard it was based on a true story even though I’m not completely sure how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ve read …

Saw is a new kind of horror film that I had never seen before, the movie came off tacky at times, but it was interesting and cool enough to let the small things go, the plot I think is really good and kept me interested, 2 people wake up …
Vigilante Force movie
Vigilante Force is a movie from 1976 that featured Jan-Michael Vincent and Kris Kristofferson. It opens with sex and violence, two huge turn offs for me. I’ve seen it in passing a couple of times, when I was more into Kristofferson in his post-A Star is Born …
Just Go With It movie
Just Go With It —“ I was charmed by the two main characters but the plot was totally implausible!
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston bring style and so much charisma to this predictable story - or at least the ending was predictable —“ the rest of it was mind boggling …
American Gun
I was a bit surprised that I did not hear about this movie when it was being released in theatres. However, I realised later that it was probably because I was a bit busy at the time. I thought that this movie had some fairly good acting in it …
Little Man movie
I watched Little Man this weekend and was throughly diappointed. The movie could have been better if it didn’t have the dirty language and scenes in it. I don’t understand why people can not make a movie without putting in all the dirty words and sexual scenes.
The one scene …
Ratatouille
Ratatouille is the latest production to come from Pixar, infamous for many popular computer animated films such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Cars. Fans of their movies will not be disappointed in Ratatouille, since it still shows the incredible animating skills of the studio along with the Disney, …
Graduation Day
I don’t remember much about 1981 (I would have only been about 6) but, if the movie Graduation Day is any indication, I don’t think it was a year where there were a lot of good movies.
The film advertises itself as a thriller but it was more of a …

Movie: Stan Helsing

Code Name: The Cleaner
These kind of movies, when done well, are excellent movies to see. When done poorly, they are a disaster. There is no middle ground with these kind of movies. With Code Name: The Cleaner, we have a fast-paced, twisting plot that kept me guessing around every corner, as Cedric …
30 Days of Night Movie
Yesterday, I bought the movie ‘30 Days of Night’. I had wanted to see it since it came out in the theaters but hadn’t because I wasn’t sure it’d be worth it. So I decided I’d wait until it was out on DVD and buy it.
I like Josh Harnett. …
Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist movie
