Starship Troopers (movie 1997)
Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Michael Ironside, Jake Busey and Dina Meyer star in this sci-fi/thriller/action/drama type movie. Filmed looking like a commercial, it takes us to a far away planet where bugs rule. War is waged and alot of beings die…this is a very bloody movie, and that …
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
While I thought the first Cheaper by the Dozen movie was lame, I did not think that a sequel to it could possibly be just plain silly and a waste of money that could have been put to proper use elsewhere. This time the movie was not just lame, …
The Invisible Man movie
This James Whale horror story, that came out between the Frankenstein movies, is my favorite of his work. Chilling story filled with suspense and remarkable effects and terribly good acting - especially from Claude Rains as the invisible man - makes this a landmark in early horror cinema. The …
Desperate Hours Remake (1990)
I’m not a big fan of remakes of movies. I call them “removies”. I find that removies are rarely as good as the original movie. In part this is because the movies that are usually redone are movies that were excellent movies to begin with. Nobody tries to …
Rush (biographical sports drama movie)
While I did see the trailer for the movie Rush a few times, it just didn’t even appear on my radar, since I’ve stopped paying attention to sports drama films since the nineteen nineties. There’s also the fact that I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the actor Chris …
Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
Lord Of The Ring: The Two Towers (hereafter “Two Towers”) is the second movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I guess if there is a weak link in the trilogy, this would be the movie, simply because the story neither starts nor ends in this …
The Stepford Wives (1975)
I am not reviewing the terrible 2002 remake of this movie with Nicole Kidman, but the 1975 original, directed by Bryan Forbes. I watched this movie as a kid and found it really sinister and it played on my mind afterwards. Now I have just seen it …
Murderous Affair: Carolyn Warmus story
I watched this movie on Lifetime movie network a couple weeks ago. Overall I really like the movie. I thought it had very good actors in it, and I think that is what made the movie so good. I don’t remember much it in detail but overall I do …
Ice Age 4 Continental Drift 2012 Movie
I will be one of the first people to say that when I saw the preview for Ice Age 4 Continental Drift released in 2012, I thought —˜Oh No, not another one!’ Not that I didn’t like the first three because I did. I loved them. I was just …
Superintelligence, movie (2020)
Mid-life soft comedies are a brand that Melissa McCarthy shaped and maintains to this day. At McCarthy’s instigation, as well as that of director Ben Falcone (who, by the way, is Melissa McCarthy’s husband), such films as “Big Boss” and “The Soul of the Company” appeared.
Mid-life soft …
Letters to Juliet movie
As a guy, it’s hard to admit that I love chick flicks. If the story is really good, I actually really to like a good romance. However, over the years, romantic movies seem to have waned in quality, leaving behind the charm of movies such as Breakfast …
Saw V - Jigsaws Past
So I decided to purchase the movie Saw V and see if its better than the previous ones! I have seen the other 4 and have liked them, and now I can say the same about the fifth installment of this movie!

The movie ‘Million Dollar Baby’ is really a million worth movie. The story of the movie was narrated mainly around a lady who struggles a lot to become Boxing champion and the problems she faced after becoming the champion.
The central idea of the movie …
Gran Torino movie
I am reviewing the movie, Gran Torino, starring Clint Eastwood. This movie was made in 2008, and was produced and directed by Clint Eastwood.
Clint Eastwood plays a Korean War vet named Walt Kowalski. He is a cranky, irritable old man who has little time for the people …
Pirates 3
I went to see Pirates of the carribbean 3 with my 11 year old daughter. We loved it. I thought it was better than the second one Dead Man’s Chest. Johnny Depp is hilarious.I enjoyed the part where he was “hallucinating” and there were Jack Sparrows everywhere on …
Kazzam (Movie 1996)
A failed attempt by Shaquille O’Neal to perform as an actor. The only thing Shaquille O’Neal should be doing is working on his basketball game, leave the acting to the professionals. It seems everybody wants a piece of Hollywood. Now, why the feltthe need to cast Shaq as a …
Meet The Rottens
Ian and Axl Rotten had a heck of a blood feud in ECW many years ago and prior to that they were a heck of a tag team. While wrestling fans have enjoyed their battles for years and have seen them repeatedly, they will all get something new …
Turner & Hooch
Tom Hanks is one of the finest actors hollywood has ever seen. He proved it by winning two academy awards for his great performances. I recently watched his movie Turner and Hooch on DVD and found the movie very boring and just waste of money and also waste of …
Love and Other Drugs movie
Love and Other Drugs is a romantic-comedy with a hint of drama. It stars Anne Hathaway as Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal as Jamie. This film was released in November 2010.
At first I felt this film was slow to start off. I also have a hard time viewing Anne …
The Final movie 2010
The Final was a film I rented from Netflix and I chose it because someone had recommended it to me. When I read the description I was not terribly impressed and I did not expect it to be anything original or unique. Films in the genre tend …

Planet Earth The Complete Series Boxset DVD
Planet Earth is a wild life documentary series. The catch phrase is, ‘as you’ve never seen it before’, which is nothing short of true.
The series is a set of 11, one hour documentaries with added bonus material at the end of an episode entitled, Planet Earth Diaries. This gives …
A Bug’s Life
When it comes to Pixar, this film is one of my least favorites. It’s a cute movie with a good heart and message, but it just doesn’t make me interested in watching it more than once or twice a year. Not even my son has showed interest and he …
Wild Things 2, thriller film by Jack Perez
Here’s a sequel to that movie with two famous actresses who kissed each other on screen. Ticket sales were pretty high for Wild Things and video sales were much bigger just for one scene. It would only make sense to cash-in on that one sequence and make Wild Things …
Movie 61
We saw a baseball movie the other night about Roger Maris and the immortal Mickey Mantle who took on Babe’s Ruths homerun record.
This movie wascalled 61, and the two yankee players Mickey Mantle the new favorite of the yankee fans and the new comer on the field the …

The Secret Life of Bees movie
I was very hesitant to watch the movie “The Secret Life of Bees” first of all, since it had the singers and actresses Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys in it, and since I cannot recall seeing any of them in what I thought were very good movies, …

Wild Card, Movie
Wild Card is the latest offering from Jason Statham, and sees him once again partnered with director Simon West. This movie is much more low key than the soon to be released Furious 7, but it does boast a respectable cast (including Stanley Tucci and Michael Angarano amongst others) as …
Signs (movie)
The director of this movie, M. Night Shyamalan, first gained critical acclaim with his psychological thriller with The Sixth Sense. While I agree that was a very good movie, I believe Signs to be the stronger of the two. This movie would probably go on my top …
No Country for Old Men movie
It took me a while to realize how much I really love this movie. The story is very dark. The burnt amber tones in the film provide a sick feeling throughout the production. The killer, played by Javier Bardem was one of the most …
The Phantom (1996)
The Phantom is a live action movie made from the pages of the comic strip that used to and still comes in to papers. While the cartoon version was a bit more successful than the comic strip to appeal to the viewers, more particularly the children, the movie failed …

Meet the Spartans (2008)
This movie is a spoof of the Frank Miller’s telling of the tale of the Spartans, the movie known as 300. Basically everything from start to finish about this movie is similar to 300 with the exception of that it’s a pun of the movie. In addition, almost everything …
Movie: Saw the Final Chapter
Synopsis: The Saw movie franchise is finally brought to a close with this final installment which brings back some characters from earlier movies.
What I liked about this movie: The best part, for me at least, was the return of Cary Elwes’ character from the first movie. My wife and …
Movie Click
Usually I love movies that Adam Sandler are in. He is usually really funny and always makes me laugh. I only remember laughing in one part in this movie where the kid gets hit in the face with the ball. Another thing I didn’t like about it is that …
Charlie Wilson’s War, biographical drama film by Mike Nichols
Something about Charlie Wilson’s War doesn’t feel right. The film tells the true story about Charlie Wilson and how he single handedly took down the Soviets. I was left with a bad taste in my mouth after watching this movie and I don’t know why I feel this way …

Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland 3D

Sherlock holmes movie
A few days ago I saw Sherlock Holmes in the cinema.
Sherlock Holmes in the old books and the stories were really a thinking man, and not so violent!
But in this movie he is. I have not read the books, so I can not say anything about it.
The movie was …
Movie: Coraline (2009)
I had a chance to watch Coraline a few days ago. I have always been enthusiastic about this movie since last year. Being a fan of Tim Burton’s films, I certainly had high hopes for movies with a similar theme. Coraline had a similar aura; dark, mysterious and enigmatic. …
Enough Jennifer Lopez
I was in the mood tonight to watch a serious movie, perferably about something that could really happen. I choose to watch Enough with Jennifer Lopez. This movie was exceptional. It made me realize that people really do have to live like this being cheated on and abused and …
Galaxy Cinemas in Peterborough
The Galaxy Cinemas is a great place to go to for the movies. It has the best environment. When you walk in, there are arcades and gamerooms in front of you. This is always great to have when waiting for the movie. Another key feature of Galaxy, are the …
