Movie Mirrors
Last night, my friends and I watched Keifer Sutherland’s Mirrors. We saw the trailer before watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2and were really enraptured. Anyway, it’s supposed to be a horror film so we made sure to watch it at night. :)
The plot’s really simple: An ex-detective, Sutherland …
Just Friends movie
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Just Friends, starring Amy Smart and Ryan Reynolds.
In this film, Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brandert, a dorky overweight teenager turned superstar. In high school, he was enormously overweight and in love with his best friend Jamie, who only saw them as friends, …
Lakeview Terrace (PG-13, 2008) movie
I watched this movie merely because I wanted to hear Samuel Jackson yell. Dave Chappelle was right on the money when he made fun of the way this actor yells at the the other characters in films. Sam was his usual great self …
Hanna ( 2011 Movie )
The movie stars Saoirse Ronan, a young Irish actress who played the role of Hanna. Her father Erik played by Eric Bana an ex-CIA person. The antagonist of the story is Cate Blanchett who plays Marissa Wiegler.

Danika (R, 2006)
Marisa Tomei is one of those actresses who pops up in an unexpected film and steals the show. She did so in “Danika”—”a film about a woman who has a tight hold on her children, and is a bit overprotective. This is the way the film is …
American Gangster (2007)
I loved this film. At first sight I was put off because I assumed it was probably just another boring action film, the kind that leave me a bit cold, but actually this film is based on a very interesting true story and although it was long, I …
Fatal Attraction (1987)
I am old enough to remember Fatal Attraction when it was first released in cinemas and it caused a big fuss at the time. It was a massive box office hit and when I saw in at a cinema in London I remember people were shouting at the …

Movie Knocked Up
This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …
Miss Galaxy 5000
If there is one thing that makes me really enjoy Tripping the Rift, it is the Dark Clowns. They are the best thing this series has going for it, and episodes which center around them are generally much better than the others. This one is no exception, …

Crank (movie)
This movie is hilarious not in a slapsticky, Jack Black kind of comedy funny but it is really funny. Jason Statham plays Chev Chelios, a hitman who happens to have got himself poisoned and will die if he doesn’t keep physically moving. Amy Smart plays Kate, the love interest …
Brewster’s Millions movie
I have seen the 1980s comedy Brewster’s Millions, starring Richard Pryor, a couple different times. But, the other day was the first time I actually got a chance to watch the original, black and white film. I have to admit, that older film was much better.
Basically, the plot was …
Now and Then (1995 Film)
The 1995 film, “Now and Then” has a very heartwarming plot that is sure to entertain those who enjoy tales of friendship and strength and love. However, I was not as thrilled of the cast of the film as I would have liked to be, and found that the …
Brokeback Mountain movie
After much delay, I finally watched Brokeback Mountain on DVD only to find it really wasn’t worth all the controversy or hype.
Overall, it was an OK movie and a unique concept. Two cowboys working together for a summer fall in love with each other. And, the steamy sex scene …
A Night to Remember movie
I watched a British Film called “A Night to Remember” which is a movie about the sinking of the Titanic. I know that there have been other movies made about the sinking of the Titanic however this was made in 1958.

Bingo (1991 movie)
The first time that I saw the movie “Bingo” was several years ago in either the late nineteen nineties or the early two thousands, and I was not very impressed with the movie. Even when I watched it a little more recently, I still was not impressed with it. …
Legally Blonde 2: Red White & Blonde (2003)
As if the first movie was not bad enough for the viewers, there is now this load of what can only be called utter crap of a movie. This time, it is now Elle’s job to bring a voice to the animals when she discovers that her dog’s mother …

Futurama Movie #1 - Bender’s Big Score
After Matt Groening and David X Cohen’s television comedy series Futurama was canceled at the end of Season Four, it ended on a potentially upbeat note, but it was open-ended enough to leave fans wondering if there would be any future installments in the series. Not long after, …
Saw V - Jigsaws Past
So I decided to purchase the movie Saw V and see if its better than the previous ones! I have seen the other 4 and have liked them, and now I can say the same about the fifth installment of this movie!
Im going to briefly to describe the plot …
The Last Legion
The Last Legion is a must watch DVD movie starring the ever sweet and sexy Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai and also the handsome Colin Firth. What is the story about, you might wonder, and how on earth a Bollywood actress had been featured in this movie…?
Well, that’s not important. …
Movie The Last House on the Left
I went to see The Last House on the Left this week with one of my good friends. We were in the mood to see a scary movie, and this was pretty much the only one out. I hadn’t seen a preview for it (that I remembered) so I …
Disturbia movie
My cable company is giving us the movie channels for the weekend for free. So I have been watching movies on them lately, at least the ones I haven’t seen already. I was going to watch disturbia when it came out and then I totally forgot about it and …
Little Mermaid 2
One of my favorite cartoon movies from Disney is The Little Mermaid and when I heard that it has a part 2, I’m one of those who lined up in theaters just to watch it.
Little Mermaid 2 is another adventurous tale of our favorite mermaid, Ariel, but this …
The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
“The Moonstone” by Wilkie Collins is a delightful and well-written 19th century mystery novel. When she turns 18, Lady Rachel Verinder received a very special and precious gift: a large yellow diamond called Moonstone. Her uncle, now deceased, had stolen it from a temple in India where he was …
House of Wax
It’s settled; Vincent Price is my favorite actor of all time. There is no actor, past or present, quite like him. In this remake of 1933’s ‘Mystery of the Wax Museum,’ an enthused Price plays Professor Jarrod, a brilliant artist whose wax sculptures seem like real people. …
All-American Co-Ed movie
All-American Co-Ed, a 1941 release starred Frances Langford as Virginia Collinge, one of the college gals attending Mar Brynn College. Her roommate, however, isn’t exactly who, or what, she, er, he, seems. It is all based on a crazy premise about rival schools getting their jollies at …
Cat’s Eye movie
This is an “anthology” film. It features three self contained stories. The closest thing to a link is a stray cat that wanders from location to location and sort of observes the events in the film.
The stories are all based on works by horror master Stephen King. …
The Pig Keepers Daughter
My wife is out of town for a few days so I’m trying to pass the time at night by watching some older movies on our Netflix player.
Last night, I came across one called the Pig Keeper’s Daughter. I didn’t know what it was when I watched it. I …
Movie : Where the Heart Is
“Where the Heart is” is one of the best warm, fuzzy movies that you will ever watch. It is an amazing tale of a young woman who finds herself in some awful messes but comes out very well in the end because she sticks with her convictions. Her boyfriend …
Planet Terror
Planet Terror from Grindhouse is certanly a movie worth watching. personally i liked it much more than the romero version of zombies, even though you can’t really consider those creatures zombies in Planet Terror.
I personally found the ‘iraqi’ scientist, the same actor that plays that dude in ‘Lost’, …
Film 300
300 with Gerard Butler.
This was an epic tale full of action - both live and animated. I have watched this movie at least ten times and find it exciting every time. King Leonidas and his 300 Spartan warriors go up against Xerxes with …
Beastly (2011 Film)
The 2011 film “Beastly” starring Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer and Mary-Kate Olsen, was in a few words—¦a magically romantic success. This film is based on Alex Finn’s 2007 novel that is basically a modern day version of “Beauty and the Beast”. Not only did this film capture the morals …

Beast Wars: Transformers - The Complete First Season
The first season of Beast Wars: Transformers is my second favorite season of the three season series. I like the blend of action, comedy, and the story arcs that the writers began to build and develop in this season that would carry over into the following seasons. The DVD …
Three Amigos (1986)
Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short team up to form the Three Amigos in this slap stick spaghetti western that they play the heroes on a TV program. After they are fired, they get news of possible employment all the way in Santo Poco, so they steal their …
The Messengers
The Messengers is just a lame, dull, boring story that I have seen played in movies countless times before. I don’t understand why they should make a horror movie as such. If I am to be a Director, and I decide to make a horror movie, I …
The Garden movie
As far as documentaries go, The Garden, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Film, has everything that I love in this genre of film. It is a film that depicts the battle for a 14 acre piece of land in south central Los Angeles following …
Identity
You want a weird movie? Watch Identity. Talk about a movie that will make you think! The cast is full of actors you already know such as John Cusak (Ed), Rebecca DeMornay (Caroline) and Ray Liotta (Rhodes). Everyone in the movie, all the characters, are out in the desert. …
Avatar 3D (2009, James Cameron)
I love this film.
I had heard a few grumbles about the ‘lack of plot’ and that watching 3D was tiring and made some people feel sick, and that the effects ruled the film and became too much.
Stuff and nonsense.
First of all, yes - the 3D glasses are not …
Dances With Wolves
We like Kevin Costner as an actor and we saw Dances With Wolves last week. Even after all these years this is still an excellent movie.
Kevin Costner plays a civil war hero who is disenchanted with the status of hero that he received and requested that he be …
Salt (movie)
In late 2010, me and a friend of mine wanted to go and see a nice action film in theatres and we were extremely delighted when “Salt” was released. Judging from what we saw in the trailer at the time, the movie seemed like it was going to have …
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 …
