10 Things i Hate About You
10 things i hate about you was the breakout vehicle for the at the time unknown future stars Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. The movie is, at its heart, a romantic comedy, but what’s truly great about this movie is that it doesn’t tend to follow the usual stereotypes …
Short Curcuit
Short Circuit is one of my favorite childhood movies. This movie is really good and so funny. It is about a robot named number 5. And number 5 thinks he is alive! The whole idea of him being alive is super funny! I really like this movie and the whole …

Scary Movie 2
I just took a few minutes to review the movie Scary Movie. Since I did that, I wanted to take another couple minutes to talk about the sequel, Scary Movie 2; which is one of the very few sequels that might actually be better than the original.
I like this …
Death Sentence
I recently watched this movie with my best friend. AND I LOVED IT!. There was so much, raw emotion in this movie. Kevin Bacon did an awsome job. If you like happy endings this movie isnt for you. I think thats why I loved it so much, It was …
Penn & Teller Get Killed
A comedian couple have their own show on television. Their humour is very sick in courting to some people and they also use magic. One day they challenge the people watching for murder on themselves.
A very weak comedy to be honest with only a few funny moments combined with …

The departed movie
During the weekend, I went to watch “The departed” played by Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Jack Nicholson. About ten minutes into the movie, I realized that I have watched a Chinese version of this movie. The difference is “The departed” combines all three sequels of the Chinese version. …
Pan’s Labyrinth
When I saw Pan’s Labyrinth, I was expecting a story about a little girl retreating into her elaborate fantasy world. I would have been happy with just that, but Pan’s Labyrinth was so much more.
In the beginning of the movie we are introduced to Ofelia and her mother, who …
Kagaaj ke Phool
Kagaaj ke Phool (KKP) is yet another great work of Gurur Dut. It’s a kind of autobiography of Dutts life. The story is bout a successful filmmaker who sees failure in the later phase of his life, and dies in misery, all alone in a chair, with nobody …
The Man in the Iron Mask
I infer the story behind the man in the iron mask is so interesting that it made it to the big screen multiple times. This one version I watched at least made me think so. I had a good time watching this version directed by Randall Wallace; …
Hansel & Gretel
I wanted a movie my entire family could watch last night and ended up loading Hansel & Gretel on my Netflix player.
While definitely not a kids movie (and a bit scary at times for younger children), this turned out to be a movie everyone in my house enjoyed.
The movie …
How to Train Your Dragon Movie

Keeping Mum
I watched this film recently on DVD, mainly because it’s British and I love British film, but also because it stars Rowan Atkinson and Kristin Scott Thomas, both brilliant actors. Rowan Atkinson plays a vicar (again) and is very believable in the part, showing no Mr Bean style goofiness …

Movie Heavy
Heavy with Liv Tyler, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Debbie Harry, and Shelly Winters.

Drowning Mona
Drowning Mona with Neve Campbell, Casey Affleck, Bette Midler, Danny DeVito, Will Ferrell, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
This movie is a perfect example of dry humor. Danny DeVito delivers his cynical lines in his trademark manner. Curtis is her usual sexy self as the waitress had …

Bats (1999)
You want a horror movie with a simple plot, one that just gets down to the meat of the matter and give the goods without any going around in circles, one that tosses you right into the middle of the chaos and tells you to either sink or swim, …
Ghostbusters 2
This movie is the sequel the first Ghostbusters movie. It was released roughly five years after the first Ghostbusters movie as well. In this one, unlike a few other sequels of other movies, there is the same cast list for all of the main characters. Just like in “Ghostbusters”, …
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth is probably one of the biggest documentaries around these days. Certainly it fulfilled its mission of making people start talking an awful lot about global warming. Of course, the question is, just how true is it all.
Mr. Gore has a lot of problems in …
Meet Me in St. Louis movie
When I think about Meet Me in St. Louis, I mostly think about Judy Garland and Margaret O’Brien. Garland is the star of this MGM movie from 1944, and she does a great job. She sings the classic Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and does so …
X-Men First Class movie
I saw this movie on opening day at around 3:30 pm-ish. The theatre was about half full so I got to enjoy the movie in a pretty nice seat at around the centre of the theatre. I usually sit further back, but this time, my entire vision …
16 Blocks
I’m tired this morning. I had hoped to go to bed at a decent hour last night but then the movie 16 Blocks came on television. My wife and I started watching it and had intended to turn it off early; figuring it would be on again another day. …
Land Before Time movie

Crimson Peak (2015 Gothic Horror Movie)
I love Gothic Horror movies, Guillermo Del Toro, Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston and so it was a given that I definitely had to see the movie Crimson Peak once it was released. I read both good and bad reviews about it, and so I wasn’t totally sure what to …
Journey to the Center of the Earth
I went to see this movie with my mom as kind of a mom/son date before leaving for school. I had never really been to a 3d movie so I thought it would be a neat one to try even if it was a coined a “kids movie”. We …
Why You Were Sleeping
Oh how I love Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman in this movie ! I love how it shows her being miserable and alone and how she has the not so glamorous job as a ticket taker for the subway in new york. It’s such a pitiful job and I …

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is latest movie to come out and the fifth installment of the Harry Potter franchise. In my opinion, this is the best movie of the franchise. A HUGE improvement from the mess that was Harry Potter and the Goblet …
Mirrors film
MIRRORS starring Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Cameron Boyce, Erica Gluck, Amy Smart, Mary Beth Peil, John Shrapnel and Jason Flemyng was a great movie. I do not know if I should classify it as a horror, thriller or suspense movie, but I can classify it as a must see …
Wedding Crasher
This is another romantic comedy movie that I like. Watching Wedding Crashers makes me laugh and touch in a same time.
This movie tell abot two bestfriends John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Gray (Vince Vaughn) who always love to come in the wedding uninvited. Their purpose just to looking …
Meet Dave
The movie “Meet Dave” represents an attempt from the actor, Eddie Murphy in showing that he can do something different and, at the same time, be successful. Although Murphy tried to link the comic world with the fantasy world in one movie, unfortunately he failed miserably to win over …

Eurotrip Movie
I have probably seen Eurotrip a dozen times by now. It’s one of those movies you just have to see all over again. Love and friendship are perfectly combined in this excellent comedy which consists of a trip of a bunch of high-school graduates all over Europe.
The movie shows …
Eclipse
I have read all of the Twilight series books by Stephenie Meyer. I have also seen all three of the movies that have been made from the books. Eclipse by far is my favorite of the three. The acting in it was much better than in the first two …
Crank Jason Statham
I was already a fan of Jason Statham because I fell in love with his gorgeous accent. I can’t resist a man with an accent. This film is definitely fast paced. You do not have time to sit and wonder what happens next. It keeps moving and moving and …
Hitch Movie
One of the best and my favorite comedians and actors is Will Smith, he can do comedy as if he was born to do it and act comically, he also has great skills as with Bad Boys and Hancock, and here on Hitch I think this movie really suited …

Chloe (movie)

Disaster Movie
Disaster Movie almost turned out to be a disaster for me. My husband and I rented it the other night. I usually don’t really like spoof movies because I think they are dumb and a waist of time but my husband wanted to see it so I gave in. …
Street Kings Movie
I’m not a big fan of action-packed thriller movies. However, when my husband bought this DVD and asked me to watch with him, I was impressed that it kept me engrossed right till the end of the movie. I thought that I’d have lost interest in it half way.
I …

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 …

Do you remember when you went trick or treating and got something good in your pumpkin? Like a full size Snickers or Reese peanut butter cup? Well Rob Zombie’s latest Halloween is more like a stick of cheap gum - the sweetness only lasts for so long. …
