Sherlock Holmes’ Terror By Night
When I was younger, I used to watch Sherlock Holmes a lot. I loved these movies, and they were on all the time. Then years passed and I’ve only seen it a few times. Oddly, I don’t seem to enjoy these mysteries as I once did, …
Arabian Nights (1999 Film)
Don’t be fooled by the title of this movie, because the 1999 film “Arabian Nights” holds much more interest and high stakes adventure with a twist of romance and suspense at survival of one’s life, than it appears.
In this film, Scheherazade (played by Mili Avital) is trying desperately …
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past movie
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a 2009 release, stars Matthew McConaughey and it’s positively brilliant. Okay, so it’s a revamped version of Scrooge, but a good story is a good story. In fact, there’s a moment at the end when McConaughey’s character teases just a bit about …

Mash the movie
The movie MASH is a classic and has only been outdone by the television series that spun off from it. It’s one of the best war movies ever made.
The movie has just the right amount of comedy and drama to be enjoyable to everyone who watches it, both young …
God is Great, and I’m Not
God is Great and I am Not is a French movie about love and being lost in different religions. It definitely relates to the “lost souls” nowadays. I guess many young people are living on earth and not sure what they want or what to believe in, …
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) was a great homage to all the cliff hanger serials of the 1930s and 1940s. It was another blockbuster for the 1980s and was 1981’s biggest box office hit. It helped to solidify Spielberg as one of the top directors in Hollywood and …
Mutilation Ball
To give props where props are do: I really like the idea of Mutilation Ball, and the “sport” is animated brilliantly. I don’t know who came up with the idea of combining chain saws with basketball but for some strange reason it works, at least as it is …
The Fifth Element
I know many people love this movie. Even the grade school pupils adore this. But please count me out. This movie I think has overdone it’s attempt to illustrate something in a deeper sense to the point it appeared obscure.
Because of the way the …
Battle Creek Brawl (1980) movie
Watching this movie was a fairly new and interesting experience for me, since I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Jackie Chan movie like it, and I also used to like Jackie Chan movies. Yes, it was still one of Jackie Chan’s martial arts comedies, but I don’t usually …
Sing, Cowboy, Sing movie
Before this week, my exposure to Tex Ritter was just knowing that he was a singing cowboy and that he was John Ritter’s father. In fact, watching him, all I could think about was John. I saw John in Tex so much that it was almost distracting. …

The Book of Eli Movie
I watched the Book of Eli last night not knowing what the movie is all about. The movie was a post-apocalyptic one, I guess that’s explains the dreary, dusty and dark atmosphere it exudes. The movie has a lot of mixed reviews. Some thought it was an …
Harry potter
The movie Harry potter is marvellous. Actually I had not seen this movie at all, but I had heard about this movie by many of my friends and my colleagues. My kids love to watch movie a lot and recently when the movie Harry potter was …

Angels and Demons the Movie
I was really excited to watch this movie because of the trailer and because I was unable to finish that book. Instead of going through the pages again, I decided to watch this film instead.
First of all, the film is not dragging so it is a plus point for …
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
This weekend I finally made it to the cinema to see The Incredible Hulk! I got to admit, I did not hear about this movie till a few months ago when I was talking about another Marvel movie with my friend. I was quite surprised that this movie did …
The Triangle - Part 2 movie
The special effects in The Triangle, part 2 (and all parts actually), are very good and are part of the lure of what is a six-hour production. This movie or mini-series, depending on how you want to think of it, aired in 3 parts in 2005. It’s …
Toy Story 3 (2011 Film)
Who hasn’t fallen in love with those loveable toys in Andy’s room that came to life and embarked on various adventures? Yes, I am talking about Toy Story, but not just any Toy Story, I’m talking about “Toy Story 3″. At first, I felt this film may not do …

HOUSE OF WAX REMAKE movie
Umm. Yuck.
I was lucky enough to see the 1981 rerelease of Vincent Price’s original House of Wax in 3-D in theaters and it was a visual treat.
And Price make an incredibly menacing villian. In this tedious, overlong box office dud, we get quite the incredibly
unerotic Paris Hilton deliver the …
You Only Live Twice movie
A film about the british secret service agent yet again. This time the audience are lead to believe the hero dies in the first scene of the film, but evidently James Bond can not be killed. Sean Connery is clearly getting tired of the role by this time and …
A Boy and His Dog (1975)
This is one of those post apocalypse science fiction movies, set in the year 2024 after World War Four. The world we see is a bleak wasteland, mostly desert and rock. People dig in the sand for old cans of food and there is one tiny town where the …
The Invisible Woman (2013)
After reading the details of the film I was impressed, especially because it was a Ralph Fiennes film. Being quite a movie buff and a huge Ralph Fiennes fan, I decided to watch it online. Ralph Fiennes’ performance in The Reader had already inspired me in a number of …
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
This is the 4th installment in the Indiana Jones series of films. It has been several years since the last movie was released and the film does account for that lapse in time. I am thankful for that since it would really be hard to pull off since Harrison …
Casino Royale
Casino Royale is a remake to a more modern day version of an old James Bond movie. The new version is full of action like you would typically see in a James Bond movie. However it was a bit more violent than most I have ever seen before. James …
Masters of Horror Series:Homecoming
Description:
Homecoming is a horror story from the Masters of Horror Series on the Channel Showtime which I really enjoy. Whats cool about the series is every story is totally different with all new characters as well as the surroundings. This story happens to be Horror/Political Satire. The plot is …

Disney continued its long sucessful line of animated classics with Aladdin.
Aladdin weaves the tale of a poor boy in Arabia named, needless to say, Aladdin. Aladdin is a theif, needing to survive on the harsh streets, added by the skills of his monkey friend, Abu. Having rescued a beautiful …
Little Man movie
I am not a fan of the Wayans brothers, their juvenile humor is too disgusting for my taste. However, I chose to see the movie Little Man, mostly because I found the idea of a full-grown man playing a midget (with some computer-generated help, of course) rather curious. Well, …

Another telling of the story of the legendary ape man Tarzan as seen through the eyes of Disney artists. A family shipwrecked on a deserted island comes to terms with the reality that they may be on the island for a very long time, they build a home and …
Lake Placid movie
I can rememebr when the movie “Lake PLacid” was released in 1999, it seemed to gain a lot of attention from my peers; but since I didn’t see it advertising to be released in theatres I wasn’t yearning to watch it as much as some of my friends were. …

Finding Nemo
First I want to start off by saying that the hype of this movie was a big let down. I got my expectations set to high before I watched this movie I just expected more from it. It was still a very good movie that had a lot of …
‘Shutter Island’ movie
I remember seeing trailers for this movie a few years back, but I don’t recall hearing anything one way or the other. The trailers made it look like a solid psychological thriller, so I figured I’d check it out.
The premise is simple enough, a federal marshall goes …
Heartbreak Kid DVD
Any move with Ben Stiller is bound to be funny and the Heartbreak Kid is no exception. And now you can bring it home on DVD and enjoy it whenever you want. But it is definitely an adult comedy, rated R, so if you can make sure the kids …

Movie Down to You
For those who watched the actor, Freddie Prinze Jr. in “She’s All That” and the actress, Julia Stiles in “10 Things I Hate About You” and the recent Bourne movies, the movie “Down to You” will definitely will not impress you.
“Down to You” is a romantic movie addressed …
The Time Travelers Wife movie
I found this movie to be too odd to be very good. The thought behind the whole movie was very unique but because of so many weird things it just made the movie not as good as it could have been.
The first thing I didn’t like was that …

12 Years A Slave (Movie 2013)
“12 Years A Slave” is a 2013 Biography, drama and history movie directed by Steve McQueen. I found the title of this movie to be very attractive making me imagine about some kind of slavery story. I didn’t recognized any of the main actors in the movie except Brad …
Oklahoma musical
Oklahoma is a sprawling musical that has the most beautiful scenery. The opening with Curly riding along through the fields and singing Oh What a Beautiful Morning is a smiler. They don’t make movies like this anymore, and that’s a tragedy.
Gordon MacRae is brilliant as Curly, the …
Reno 911! Miami (Movie)
Reno 911! is a television show that I’ve watched since it first started. When I first saw the previews for their first full length movie, I couldn’t wait to see it. I dragged a friend with me to the theater, and while he loved it, I found it fairly …

The Spiderwick Chronicles
When my roommate rented this, I was expecting another Eragon, an unoriginal fantasy that rehashes the same elements that we’ve seen before. The fact that this movie was brought to us by the same studio that gave us “Good Burger” did nothing to squelch my fear that we …
