Belle (historical drama movie)
I love watching historical movies, and that is why I was so eager to see “Belle” after I had seen the trailer only months before it was released. What piqued my interest about it even more was that it was supposed to be based on the story revolving around a …
Paranormal Activity movie
Paranormal Activity is probably the least scary movie I have seen. I can say with all honesty that I did not find this movie funny. Yeah sure it got a lot of crazy reviews and media hype. But when ti came down to sitting down and watching this film even …
Harry Potter and the Sorceror
I’m home today because it’s Saturday and I can’t really afford to go out and do much more than sit around the house and watch movies all day.
One movie we ended up watching today was Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone. It’s not the first time I’ve seen this …
Billy Madison (1995)
Billy Madison is one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. It is incredibly funny to watch, and it has you laughing the entire time. The movie was made for people who laugh at corny jokes. If you are not one of those people, you will not like the movie.
Billy …
Movie Speed Racer
Don’t watch this movie if you have a migraine or sensitive to lights. I had a migraine when we first popped this in to watch and after 15 minutes had to turn it off I was so nauseous. The colors are so vivid and bright and then …
Bubba Hotep movie
This is definitely one of my favorite movies. Although I’ve seen my share of horror movies in my lifetime, I am not exactly a big fan of the genre. That said, Bubba Hotep is a great movie, and one that any horror or comedy fan should see.
The …

New Capitol Cinema
I don’t watch movies often but when I do, I prefer it to be a good experience. In all my years of stay here in Botswana I have been a few times to the movie house. I must say I am impressed with the system here. It’s probably better …
Prom Night movie
Prom Night was recently released out here in the United Kingdom and I decided to go and see it with a friend at my local Showcase Cinema in Walsall. I always enjoy a good cinema experience. The experience with friends, the laughs and the jokes and then of course …
Taken (2009) Movie
I heard about this movie from my dad, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it because my dad couldn’t stop talking about it! He said that it was a really good movie… and he was right.
I’m not a huge action movie fan. I’m more of a comedy and romance …
The Village - Movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan
The Village is one of the later movies of M. Night Shyamalan. I have for a long time believed that the beauty of Shyamalan’s movies was dwindling but this movie was among those that were better than you would first thought.
In all truthfulness the movie started out very …
Bernie, movie (2011)
Director Richard Linklater has one of the more interesting filmographies of his generation. His body of work started with Slacker and would give audiences classics like Dazed & Confused, Waking Life, School of Rock, and A Scanner Darkly. Working once again with Jack Black, Linklater presents an …
Street Kings
“Street Kings” is a unique drama movie that will keep you hooked watching it till the end. The most interesting thing about this movie is that you will get to watch three great actors Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker and Chris Evans as you have never …
Educating Rita Movie
This is one of the movies I can watch over and over again, and often do. Michael Caine plays a disillusioned literature professor who is assigned to teach Rita (Julie Walters), a Liverpool hairdresser. At the age of twenty six, Rita has decided to take care of her education …

Wild Wild West
I was almost eleven when the movie “Wild Wild West” came out in theatres. It was a little before I just entered high school and I can remember how a lot of m friends who were in that same age group wanted to watch it. Back then, we …
Movie I am legend
This movie couldn’t have been any better. I loved it. I think will smith did an amazing job especially with him being the only actor in it. You would think that it would have got boring and lost my interest with only one actor and not a whole lot …
The Leopard (1963 film by Luchino Visconti)
I take great delights from viewing films based on fine literature. Mostly I like to see the author’s descriptions translated into the picture as well as the embodiment of the characters, which altogether makes for an extended annotation to the book. I came upon a criterion copy …
Finding Neverland movie
A film about J.M. Barrie, the writer of Peter Pan, and how that story came to be. Mr Barrie meets a widow and her children. He becomes a close friend of theirs and find inspiration for the Peter Pan story in the children and how they act. Mr Barrie …

One of the most anticipated movies this year. With a huge celebrity line up from Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe to Common. This movies deserves all its appreciation and glory. The movie is about New York Harlem F.B.I

The Imitation Game (historical thriller)
After seeing it nominated for so many awards, I just knew that I had to see the movie “The Imitation Game”. While the reviews I had read about it on the internet seemed to be mixed, I found myself agreeing with those people who claimed that it was one of …

Veggietales: Silly Thing Called Love
I picked up a Veggietales DVD for my daughter that I thought would keep her occupied for about 45 minutes. It turns out it was a pretty decent, full-length disk that kept her occupied for more than an hour.
Silly Thing Called Love is a great Veggietales disk that uses …
Inside Man (2006)
Inside Man has rekindled my interest in Spike Lee movies (or —˜joints’ I should say) as it was thoroughly enjoyable, witty, with a great twist. Lee was doing quirky, witty hard-hitting movies before Tarantino came along. The film starts with Clive Owen, playing the part of Dalton …
A Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Movie 2010)
Ever remembered staring at your crush in school and not being able to tell him how you feel? Do you remember those days when you would call his phone just to hear his voice and hung up a minute later without even saying a word? Ever remember those crazy …
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014 Biblical Epic Film)
I read a novelization of the popular biblical tale of the Exodus last week. I was deeply astonished at how EPIC it was. Years prior, there was a Ridley Scott film that tackled the same subject for which I ignored because of the small ratings it got from critics.
However, …

Cloverfield
Cloverfield is a movie about a small group of friends trying to survive an attack on New York City by a giant monster.This sounds simple and the synopsis itself is, however the brilliance of the movie shines when you consider how the story is told. The whole movie is …
Those Who Hunt Elves
Those Who Hunt Elves is quite a funny anime that I have begun to watch a few days ago. The most attractive quality of this show is its humor which happens to come from how random it is. A sorceress elf named Celica tries to vanish an …
The Quiet Earth Movie
One morning an ordinary man wakes up and realizes he is the only alive on earth. Almost the only one, at least.
A production from New Zeeland from the same director who did the studid sequel to Under Siege with Steven Seagal, and that can be noticed here. This film …
Jane Eyre Movie 1970
This is an older and lesser known version of Jane Eyre starring George C. Scott as Mr. Rochester and Susannah York as Jane. The movie was made in 1970. I bought my copy because of the great George Scott: the moment I heard there’s a “Jane Eyre” movie with …
Written in Blood movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Written in Blood, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This movie was made in 1997, was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based on the novel series written by Caroline Graham.
Gerald Hadleigh is a secretary of a highly …
Bee Movie
I’ve watched Bee Movie several times and still consider it to be a fairly well made movie. In some ways it is as it appears to be, a very family directed movie but I think most people would find themselves entertained despite whatever ago group they belong to. Jerry …
Volcano movie
In the late 1990s it became some sort of trend in Hollywood with nature disaster films, just as it was in the early 70s, and Volcano is one example of this. It appears a volcano is having an eruption right outside the city of Los Angeles, and Tommy Lee …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a great comedy movie. I think the acting and characters were just great in this film! I think this is probably Adam Sanlder’s best work since The WaterBoy. Now I really liked the whole storyline about how he inherits tons of money and gets rich. Mr. Deeds …
The Bucket List
Oh my goodness. What a movie this is ! It has Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholsen. Two incredibly talented actors. Morgan Freeman is so well spoken, and Jack Nicholsen, well, he’s just Jack Nickelson; awesome. Put the two in a movie together and it makes a great movie.
The Bucket …
Moulin Rouge movie
I bought this film the day it came out on video, and for good reason: it’s spectacular. One of the songs in the film is entitled “Spectacular Spectacular,” which pretty much sums up the entire movie. From start to finish this film is brilliant - from the light to …
Swiss Family Robinson
The Swiss Family Robinson movie is about a family named the Robinson’s who become stranded on a deserted island. It shows how they build a tree house and adapt to their surroundings. With a little ingenuity they create a house that has running water and a refrigerator. After a …
Ironman
Before renting Ironman, I expected it to be a cliché, super-hero, comic-book movie. Even though I love anything Robert Downey Jr. does, I didn’t expect this role to show off his brilliant acting ability. I was wrong about that, and I really enjoyed this action movie, because it actually …
Ghost (1990)
Ghost, directed by Jerry Zucker is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was July 13, 1990 for United States audience.

A Tattered Web movie
From 1971, A Tattered Web is a film about accidental murder and a cover up. I think I may have watched this back when it first aired, but I’m not certain. The movie starred Lloyd Bridges as Sgt. Ed Stagg. I’ve never really been a fan …
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I am of the opinion that this movie is one of the greatest drug stories ever told. Johnny Depp and Benicio DelToro star in Terry Gilliam’s adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s cult novel. The movie opens with the two lead characters Raoul Duke (Depp) and his attorney (Del Toro), …
Movie 17 Again
I recently ordered 17 Again from Netflix. I had mixed feelings about it. It was mildly entertaining with some cute parts, and I am a big fan of Michelle Trachtenburg, who plays the main character Mike’s daughter. Otherwise, the movie was a little cheesy and unrealistic. …
Meet Joe Black,1998 movie
This movie is about Death itself, coming to earth in a human form to learn about what it is like to be alive. As its host, Death chooses a young man, Joe Black (Brad Pitt) who is hit by a car. Joe (now Death) goes to the man whose …
Hairspray
If nothing else, this remake of the 1988 musical is worth watching for John Travolta playing the main character’s mother - yes, *mother*. She is fat, and she dances. Travolta is unrecognizable under layers of latex and a fat suit, when I first saw a photo of him in …
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 …
Loving Leah
Over the weekend we watched the Hallmark special, “Loving Leah”. It was an entertaining movie, and quite an education on Orthodox Jews and their culture and faith. The movie was a about an Orthodox Rabi who dies, and leaves behind a young widow. According to tradition, his brother is …
Untraceable Movie
I must have seen this movie advertise only once or twice before it hit theaters. In fact, in the few times I saw it advertise, I was almost completely sure that the movie would be just another mediocre suspense which Hollywood tried to shove on the average movie goer. …
