John Tucker Must Die
“John Tucker Must Die” is a cute romantic comedy targeting teenagers. The interesting aspect of this movie is that it includes a lot of Hollywood rising stars such as Brittany Snow, Jesse Metcalfe, Penn Badgley, Sophia Bush, Ashanti and Arielle Kebbel. These actors are mostly know for their involvement …
NetFlix
What a pain having to go all the way to the video store and walk around forever finding what you want. For a long time I didn’t even go out and rent movies because it was just too much of a hassle. Also I hated the restrictions of how …
The Hangover
I was fortunate enough to see the new movie the Hangover in the movie theatre while it was still in theaters. I saw it with my boyfriend and I must admit, it was the perfect date movie. It is perfect only if you are looking for a very light, …
The Bridge to Terabithia
I watched the movie “The Bridge to Terabethia” with my family this afternoon. I have to say I was not very impressed with the film.
The girl Leslie, played by AnnaSophia Robb and Jesse create a magical world to escape from bullies. There was not much fantasy in …
Wadjda (movie)
One of the reasons why I love Starz Cinema so much is because it sometimes brings my fix of foreign movies that I’m positive I will never see on any other channel that I have. Up to very recently, one of those was a movie made by Saudi Arabian …
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island
I’m not normally a fan of Scooby Doo movies that don’t follow the classic format of the ghost really being someone in disguise. But, I will say I did like Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.
This movie, which has Scooby and the gang investigating a haunting on a Louisiana Island …
Funny Games movie (American Remake) 2008
I was a bit apprehensive about whether this remake would be as good as the original. But then I realize that this film was made by the same director. It is then that I realized that all the nuances were the same as the first …

Dirty Girl (movie)
One of my favourite movies has got to be “Dirty Girl” starring Juno Temple. This was because of four main reasons. The first was the plot which I thought was very interesting even though it wasn’t particularly unique; the second was how it was filmed which I guess had …
Death Proof
I loved Pulp Fiction, I loved Kill Bill, and I love grindhouse films. I hate Death Proof. I like what Quentin Tarantino was aiming for while making the movie; capturing all of the classic grindhouse car chase scenes, hot girls, and fighting, but overall, it could have been so …
The Lake House movie
The Lake house is a movie starring Sandra Bullok and Keanu Reeves. This was an enjoyable fim a bit farfethced but enjoyable all the same.
It seems that Keanu Reeves lived in the house on the Lake, and through some mysterious way he starts to receive mail from …
Man’s Best Friend
It’s probably because I’ve become desensitized a bit over the years but I remember the movie Man’s Best Friend as being much scarier than it was when I watched it last night.
The movie has a good concept, you have a genetically engineered dog rescued from the research lab but …
Superman Returns
At last, someone returns to the heart and soul of the original Superman of 1978, with minor improvements to special effects and setting. This movie could not have been made as is back in 1978. It is a Superman for this generation and I am pleased with its arrival. …
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 …
The Secret - The Movie
I stumbled upon this website “by chance” and found a wonderful, life-changing (yes, at least for me) movie available either as a download ($4.95) or as a DVD ($29.95) that can be ordered. After viewing the impressive trailer, I ordered the DVD and anxiously waited for “the secret” to …
Movie: “Ghost Town”
A surprisingly funny and charming movie, “Ghost Town” tells the story of Bertram Pincus, an unpleasant dentist reminiscent of Ebenezer Scrooge. His attitude toward life: bah, humbug. When he dies briefly on the operating table, he wakes up with the unwanted ability to see ghosts. It doesn’t take long …
Love and a .45 (1994)
“Love and a .45″ is an absolutely fantastic movie in my book and I have watched it dozens of times over the years. This film has its flaws, but overall is an excellent way to pass the time. There is action, drama, and comedy all rolled into one that …
Puncture (movie)
“Puncture” was a movie that I just didn’t care to see after I had read a lot of bad reviews on it. Even the trailer did little to stimulate my interest in it, even though later I came to realise that it had a very interesting plot. How I …
The grudge 2
I watched the grudge 2 a while ago. There are a couple of things about the movie that I didn’t like. First of, I think they should have kept Sarah Michelle Gellar in the movie a lot longer than they did. Second, there were parts that were supposed to …
Eurotrip movie
I think “Eurotrip” was one of my favorite comedies which was released in my later years of high school. I didn’t watch it with my friends, but I remember watching the premiere of it on a cable television movie channel and talking about it with my friends when I …
Into The Woods (Movie)
I was waiting for this movie for so long not only because Disney produced it but also because my favorite actors are there: Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep, Chris Pine, and Anna Kendrick.
At first I was so happy to know that it is a musical movie but I was a …
Barbie’s Princess and Pauper Movie
As a girl, I loved to get Barbie dolls for Christmas or my birthday. I had so many different outfits, dolls, and other accessories that went with the toys, but I was already an adult when the movies started to come out. So as one can imagine, I was …

The Whole Ten Yards movie
The movie “The Whole Ten Yards” is actually the sequel to the movie “The Whole Nine Yards” which was released in the year 2000. I didn’t hear of this sequel though until about two or three years ago when I saw it being broadcast on a cable television channel. …

The Devil Wears Prada Movie
This movie is considered a “fashion” movie that’s best applicable for young ladies and women who dreams of making it to a very glam city with a good-paying job, a fantasic career, an even-better boyfriend, and a set of girlfriends to share it all with. Unfortunately, this isn’t the …
Vamps (movie)
I watched the movie “Vamps” last night for the first time and I thought that it was one of the most interesting vampire movies that I’ve watched in a very long time. The funny thing was that I’ve never heard of the movie before last night, which is a …
Shallow Hal
I think Directors should definitely make more movies with plots that go around in the movie of Shallow Hal. This is a movie about looking at someone’s personal and inner beauty rather than someone that looks good just on the outer layer or physical skin beauty.
Hal is …
Man On Fire
Man On Fire stars Denzel Washington, Christopher Walken, and Dakota Fanning. This is an exceptional film that dealt with the serious issue of the kidnapping business in Mexico, yet did so in a very warm manner.
How do you make a great film about any subject? …
Madea goes to Jail Movie
Madea goes to jail, directed and written by Tyler Perry is a very inspirational story. The movie balances out its sorrows with gut wrenching humor. This movie does have Madea going to jail, after, as always some testy behavior, that will most definitely make you laugh. However, this is also …
Dead Like Me: Always
This episode of Dead Like Me entitled Always was one of the most poignant episodes of the Showtime science fiction series. It concluded an ongoing subplot that had gone on for much of the season with Mandy Patinkin’s character of Rube. Without spoiling what the final resolution …
Traitor
The Traitor actually holds your attention throughout the almost two hours of the movie. From the previews and adverts on Tv, it seems like Don Cheadle is a “bad-ass” with some “superhuman skills” that he can turn on at anytime. Well let’s just say that that image was hyped …
“Alvarez Kelly” (1966) starring William Holden
“Alvarez Kelly” is a western about a cattle drive from Mexico northward then eastward to Richmond, Virginia. The color Columbia Pictures production lasts 116 minutes. Some of it was filmed on location in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The tagline describes the movie as “a herd of cattle against a herd …
Mind Your Language show
This is one of the best comedies shows that I have seen. I started laughing from the first minutes of the show until the last minutes. I bought some DVD about this show, and I watched many times and I still laugh every time I watch. It was a …

Gladiator movie
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Gladiator at all, but the intensity of the drama can’t be ignored. In short, this is a movie about a much respected general to Marcus Aurelius, the emperor of Rome, who is then condemned to execution by the emperor’s son, Commodus. The …
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 …
Zombie Holocaust (1980)
Starring: Ian McCulloch, Alexandra Delli Colli, Sherry Buchanan, Peter O’Neal, Donald O’Brien, Dakkar, and Walter Patriarca.

Ghostbusters (2016 Comedy Movie)
Despite all the harshness and negativity surrounding the 2016 Ghostbusters remake, I was probably one of the few persons who actually couldn’t wait to see what it would be like. I was in a terrible mood when I ended up watching it fairly recently too, but you now what? When …
Movie Seven Pounds
I recently had the pleasure of watching this movie. I thought that the acting was great, they did a great job of getting you fully engrossed in the movie which I liked. It was a bit slow in the beginning however, but all of that pays off because you …
The Forbidden Kingdom movie
The Forbidden Kingdom starring kung fu masters Jackie Chan and Jet Li for the first time together on the same screen. When I first went into the movie theatre I think I overhyped the movie. After watching the whole movie in it’s entirety, I was actually disappointed …
The Princess and the Frog
I took my toddler and my teenage daughter to see Disney’s The Princess and the Frog. We all enjoyed this movie, and my three year old actually set and wathced the whole thing. That is a true testament of a movie that is colorful and exciting to watch. The …
The Orphanage
I watched a film on DVD recently called The Orphanage. I was attracted to this film for two reasons, one being that it is all in Spanish and I love foreign films, but the other, more important reason, was that it is made by Guillermo Del Toro, the same …
Stranger Than Fiction (R, 1999)
This quirky little movie stars one of my favorite actresses, Natasha Gregson Wagner. There is something insipid and coy about the roles she tends to play. And her stuffy, rebellious role of “Violet” in this movie is no different. This film is sort of a cat …
Devil wears prada
I watched this movie about a week ago. I thought it was supposed to be a comedy but there was nothing funny about it. It was getting late and I was really close to just turning it off and going to sleep. It wasn’t that entertaining to watch and …
Urban Legend movie
As far as thrillers go, Urban Legend is one of the best movies ever made.
The film centers around a group of college kids who are being hunted down by a serial killer who murders people in styles similar to urban legends (such as a killer in the back seat …
