The Wedding Date movie
I decided to watch this movie because the trailer seemed to be an interesting story and because the actor, Dermot Mulroney had the main part. I must say that although it is a good movie, it isn’t as great as I imagined.
So what went wrong with this movie? I …
Music and Lyrics (2007)
There is no reason for romantic-comedy lover not to watch this movie because there is a king and queen of romantic comedy inside, that is : Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. The good news here is, this movie is as great as I expected when I heard that it …

I never thought that my son would fall in love with the series as quickly as he did. He especially loves the Penguins. And to be honest , I like the Penguins, too. They can be really funny sometimes. What I like about this movie is it basically has …
Knocked Up
Knocked Up is an honest, down-to-earth movie about a one-night stand gone terribly wrong. From its title, you can sense the bluntness that is also throughout the film. The dialogue it truly funny and easy to associate with because it feels like stuff your friends would really say in …

Sex in The City (The Movie)

Action packed never knew life before the coming of the Chuck Norris movies and his level of attitude. This movie is about terrorists hijacking a plane full of innocent people and using them as hostages for their demands. To show good faith, they release the women and children hostages …
War (Movie)
War is a movie that I was actually looking forward to seeing because I’ve recently become a big fan of Jason Statham. For some reason though I kept forgetting about the movie. When I saw that Blockbuster had previously viewed copies of the movie for about $5, I knew …

Two Weeks Notice
It is so difficult to say who is the ideal on screen partner for Hugh Grant. We have seen him act with such great female stars such as Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Renee Zellwegar, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Julianne Moore and Andie MacDowell. I believe he is ideal on screen partner …

Terror Train movie
I had heard of the movie Terror Train before but didn’t think it was anything worth watching. After all, I am not a huge Jamie Lee Curtis fan, did not like the original Halloween movie and I knew this movie was produced as a result of the success of …
Over Her Dead Body
I decided to watch “Over Her Dead Body” because I read about the movie story and thought it was an interesting one. After watching it, I ended up disappointed because the movie fails to win over the audience. The comic moments in this romantic comedy are simply half baked!
“Over …

2010 Movie
This movie was anticipated by all, and at first I honestly wasn’t excited about all the hype as movies are all talk nowadays until you actually get to see them on the big screen. This movie ran at 158 minutes and when I was watching it I didn’t feel …
On the Outs (R, 2004) movie
I had never heard of this movie before. But when I saw that it was about three troubled teenaged girls on the East Coast, I was immediately intrigued. This is because independent films featuring adolescents in New York or New Jersey (which this story took place) …
Upside of Anger
Upside of Anger, starring Kevin Costner and Joan Allen is a romantic comedy and drama. The movie is a good movie and has some very decent performances by the main actors. The tag line, ‘Sometimes what tears us apart helps us put it back together’ itself is very impressive …
Salt Movie (2010)
I was anticipating this action/thriller movie from Angelina Jolie and had really high expections since she does action movies really well and sometimes with her own stunts, but after watching this movie I was quite disappointed as I thought it had a very anti-climactic moment at the peak of …
Madagascar 2
A truly great family movie that I was eagerly anticipating following the hit first title and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie with a couple of friends.
Full of laughs and witty little jokes and lines, this movie had me light hearted and comically relieved throughout and I really had a …

Based on the 1960 film of the same title and directed by acclaimed director of such films as Traffic and Erin Brockovich, Steven Soderbergh, Ocean’s Eleven is a cool hi-tech comedy. Starring some of Hollywood’s most popular actors, it’s the story of Danny Ocean (George Clooney), a newly released …

“Fracture” starring Anthony Hopkins
“Fracture” is a 2007 color movie from New Line Cinema and Castlerock Entertainment lasting 113 minutes. Normally I’m a big fan of Castlerock that often produces movies that have some connection to Stephen King such as “Hearts in Atlantis” starring Anthony Hopkins and based on the book by King …
Haywire (2011 film)
I am actually happy that I watched this movie for free and not in the cinema paying some kind of ticket. Well, I would say it is a strange movie; I did not understand if it was meant to be an action one or something else. Because you can …
Bad Neighbours (movie)
My co-workers and I decided that we should probably go see a movie for the two for one special a local theatre was having. Two of us wanted to see the new Spiderman movie and the other two wanted to go and see one of those random chick flicks …

Ginger Snaps movie
I first watched Ginger Snaps in 2005 due to recommendations on IMDb. It is a movie about two sisters, Ginger and Brigitte, who are going through changes, one symbolic and one quite literally. The plot focuses heavily on sisterhood, growing apart, changing, and love, as well as losing yourself …

Ella Enchanted
I’ve always found that, when in doubt, a movie based around a fairy tale will always fill in nicely. In the case of Ella Enchanted, you have a good story complete with a few catchy song and dance numbers.
I have liked Anne Hathaway as an actress since I first …
Easy-A: Movie
Easy-A is a teen-comedy that I found mildly interesting to watch, and only because it was aimed at my particular age group.
It’s very easy-to-watch and has a lot of teenage humour that can keep the interest, but of course without the topic of sex this wouldn’t really be worth …
Once
The movie Once is something that my boyfriend and I love watching. It is a musical drama, and is Irish too. The musical has a courtship like, and has an R rating.
The story is about a street musician, and a kindred spirit, featuring a younger girl, who …

Nationsal Treasure film
I was recently coaxed into watching this film due to there being nothing else on at the cinema and my mates were bored. I went not expecting much, and left with a surprise- this movie was brilliant.
The film centers round the exploits of Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage)in attempt to …
Primeval
There was something missing with this film. I know that it followed lots of formulas about somet kind of big monster lurking in the exotic wilderness of a foreign land. As usual, there is the requisite bunch of diverse “scientists/explorers/writers” (pick one) with the ONE beautiful …
Les Miserables (2012 movie)
The experience I had with this movie was the same I had with my previously watched movies based on Novels, which was out of the world. I don’t know why I found novel based movies so interesting and exciting. Perhaps, it’s because novel writers have some great skills to …
The Back Up Plan 2010 movie
The Back-Up Plan starring Jennifer Lopez and Alex O’Loughlin has a catchy subtitle: fall in love. get married. have baby Not necessarily in that order. The thing is, that because movies have to happen in less than a few hours, and the time span of this particular movie has …
Rambo (2008) movie
There is nothing new in the story, once again Rambo is tired of killing enemies, he has given up everything and living a peaceful life of a hermit.
Once again some people come to him and beg him to help them get over the enemies and release innocent people, and …
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 …
The Eclipse
The opinions concerning Michelangelo Antonioni are very divided. Some think he’s the greatest master of cinema ever, while others think he’s too pretentious and never really learned how to make a film properly. Personally I am somewhere between those two. I think his earlier work such as The Cry, …
