A Roman Holiday (1953)
Just lately, I’ve been wondering why in my history of watching old films, I never sighted an Audrey Hepburn film in TCM, a channel repository for classic movies. Crouched in front of a grainy black and white TV screen, I like to pass the time as a nocturne …
Whats Your Number (2011 Romance Comedy Movie)
I initially ignored the movie “What’s Your Number” because I heard a few bad reviews about it, and I realised that it didn’t get a very good rating. This was even though I’ve always thought that the comedy actress Anna Faris was very funny.
I decided to watch it recently …
27 Dresses movie
The best way to describe “27 Dresses” is a similarity to Jennifer Lopez movie “The Wedding Planner” only much, much better. Interesting to know is that the actress, Judy Greer had supporting roles in both movies. Although it is a romantic comedy, “27 Dresses” is an entertaining movie addressed …
Kung Fu Panda (2008)

Half Nelson Movie
Half Nelson is one of those movie that you absolutely have to watch more than once just because you can never get all the details and all the meaning from the first time. There is not a single false movie in the movie, there isn’t a single acting moment …
The Bit Hit Movie
This is one of my favorite movies starring Mark Wahlberg, this was one of the movies including Fear which he got so famous in and what makes it more funny is that Lou Diamond Philips stars as the antagonist here. It’s a comedy film although the plot isn’t and …

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 …
Eden Lake (R, 2008)
Eden Lake is one of those films that you’re really going to get into right away. It starts off like any other film, with the obligatory couple going off to enjoy the wilderness alone and really have a great time. This couple heads to Eden Lake …

Envy (movie)
“Envy” was one of those movies that I discovered bombed at the box office when it was released, but when I watched it, I couldn’t understand why. I’ve seen infinitely worse comedies and movies with much better ratings even though I thought that this one had a better plot …
A Raisin In The Sun (movie)
A Raisin In The Sun is a movie about a family living together in close quarters and working hard to keep their lives afloat. Sidney Poitier, one of my favorite actors, is Walter Lee. Sidney Poitier does a wonderful performance as the young man who is a husband, father …
Roots movie
This is a movie that changed my perspective on life forever! No movie has ever approached its impact on my psyche. This movie revealed my history in the very saddest and unflattering terms. This movie succeeded in erasing my innocent perspective od United States History and forever cast a …
Jonah, A VeggieTales Movie
Everytime I take a few minutes to watch a Veggie Tale movie with my daughter, I become more and more impressed with the series and want to go out and buy more for her.
Jonah, A VeggieTales Movie is a great example of this. Apparently, this is the first full-length …
Wilde movie
A film about the controversial english author and poet Oscar Wilde who had to flee his home country when he openly declared himself as a homosexual. Stephen Fry is absolutely perfect as the exceedingly clever Wilde, and the rest of the cast is also impressive, especially Jude Law. One …
Paul Blart - Mall Cop
A friend had come over the other night and he had brought ‘Paul Blart - Mall Cop’ with him because I had wanted to see it for some time now but never had the opportunity to go see it when it came out in theaters. Overall, I am glad that …

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is the sequel to the very popular Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. In my opinion, a disappointing sequel. In my eyes, it is the death of a sequel when the makers of the …

Norbit movie
This film is must watching film, I laugh from the beginning to the end of the film.
The story:
Norbit (Eddie Murphy) is a timid, nebbishy fellow, raised by Mr Wong (Eddie Murphy again) in a combination orphanage / Chinese restaurant in Boiling Springs.
As a child, Norbit love Kate, a fellow …
“The green mile” movie
Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy. Frank Darabont, however, makes this perfectly, creates a delicious, challenging cinema, full of unexpected vertigo action and psychological analysis. Combining drama with fantasy does not sound appetizing. “The Green Mile” is an exception to the …
Lucy Gallant
I adore Lucy Gallant. It’s a film about the Texas oil boom. Jane Wyatt plays the title role of Lucy Gallant, a woman running away from her old love and who ends up stranded right in the middle of oil country. She quickly meets the tall …
Twilight Drive-In Theatre Langley, BC
One of the biggest signs of spring in the Vancouver area of BC is the opening of one of the few remaining drive-in theatres in the province, the Twilight Drive-In in Langley. I have gone to movies there when I was a teen-ager, many years ago now, but as …
I think I love my wife
“I think I love my wife” starring Chris Rock is raunchy, dirty, disturbing at times and wildy funny.
Basis of the movie is that Chris Rock plays a married man who is “****ing bored” with his life and a beautiful former friends enters the picture causing drama in …
The Wedding Singer
“The Wedding Singer” is definitely one of the movies mostly related to Adam Sandler. Personally I was very much looked forward to watch this movie after I saw the trailer, however in the end it failed to reach my expectations. I expected a funnier Adam Sandler like in the …
27 Dresses
The other day, I gave in to my wife and watched the romantic comedy 27 Dresses with her.
While I’ll be quick to admit I actually enjoyed the movie; I was left a bit disappointed by it.
My biggest complaint about the film, which is about a woman who has attended …

Greenberg (2010 movie)
This is a movie that I really got roped into seeing. My friend was very interested in seeing it, and he basically insisted that I had to see it with him. I had never even heard of it, so I had absolutely no idea what it was about. So …
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 Grey (movie)
Recently I have found it to be more challenging to find suspense and thriller movies that I genuinely love that are set in some form of real life situations. What I ended up doing recently since I felt the urge to watch one was read a blog entry which …
The Nativity Story movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Nativity Story, which came out in 2006. This movie starred Keisha Castle-Hughes as Mary, and Oscar Isaac as Joseph. The movie told the story of Mary’s life, and the birth of Jesus. I really liked this movie, but there were some things …

We All Scream for Ice Cream Movie
We All Scream for Ice Cream is easily one of the oddest movies in the Masters of Horror series. This one stars William Forsythe as a clown who drives an ice cream truck. If you think that he is the one who is torturing people, you’d only be partly …

Paranormal Activity (Movie)
Although this movie was found to be corny and unhorrifyingly unsuspenseful by some members of my family, I found this too scary and I was really scared watching this movie. This movie had come out in 2007 but it was only shown last year in our country and I …
Movie Labyrinth (1986)
In my opinion, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth is one of the best animated films of all time. David Bowie’s character of Jareth, the goblin king, is probably my most beloved of all movie characters. At the beginning of the movie, I found him frightening, but as it moved along, I …
The Banger Sisters
In all honesty I don’t know why Susan Sarandon decided to participate in an average movie such as “The Banger Sisters”. The only reason that comes to my mind is that, after 11 years, from her successful movie “Thelma & Louise”, she thought this movie will have the same …

Addicted To Love movie
“Addicted to Love” is all about the actors, Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick going wild with revenge. Although this is a romantic comedy, Ryan chose to interpret a different character then the usual ‘nice girl from next door’.
