The Golden Compass
I thought that the movie “The Golden Compass” had a wealth of potential. When I saw it advertising to be released in theatres, I thought it would have been something like “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”, however, when I watched it I realized …
Eagle Eye
I’m usually not a big fan of movies that play the whole 1984 card and focus on “Big Brother.” And, I’ll be the first to admit the idea of a computer independently controlling people’s lives is something out of the 80s (think the movie War Games)and still a bit …
Prancer movie
Even though I was burned out on Christmas movies, I did spend a great deal of time Christmas Eve watching them with my family. One of those movies was the film Prancer. And, after seeing that movie I definitely was ready to turn them off.
Prancer is an OK film. …
Movie Major Movie Star
I didn’t expect to like “Major Movie Star”. I didn’t WANT to like it. I can’t stand Jessica Simpson, and usually I make a religious duty of avoiding all her music and movies - even her commercials!
I hate to admit it: “Major Movie Star” was just downright cute.
Simpson doesn’t …

Signs (2002 Movie)
There is one word that describes this movie…”BORING”. It’s a long, drawn out, dull, mind-numbing, boring tale of aliens coming to earth. And as always, the aliens have some to destroy mankind…been there, done that, seen it too many times. I guess we should all be wearing tip foil …
ARGO 2012 Film
I watched this movie before it received, as it happened, widespread critical acclaim, and so I actually was watching it without any expectations. And I should say, that when I started reading news reports about all the recognition that this movie got, I was rather surprised. It was puzzling …
Happy Feet
I can’t help but watch animated movies with my kids, because they usually hide the remote control if they play something! Talk about manipulative kids! And so one day, I ended watching the animation “Happy Feet” with them. It’s a story of penguins of rare breed and species, losing …

This episode introduces Science Fiction into Sherlock Holmes. A woman hires Holmes after being terrified by some sort of monster who …
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation (action spy-thriller movie)
I’m not usually one of those people who run to see every Mission Impossible movie that is released. However, when I saw the trailer for this one and saw the amount of stunts and action in it, I thought that this was definitely something that I could not miss. After …

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I am a confessed Harry Potter addict. I even make it a point to get the first editions of the books on the day they come out, and I willingly line up just to be the first one to watch a Harry Potter movie. I submitted a review of …
The Holiday movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Holiday, starring Kate Winslet, Joe Black, Cameron Diez, and Jude Law. Kate Winslet’s character is a fool for love, but the problem is, the guy she love doesn’t love her back. She’s involved in a game of cat and mouse as he …
The Santa Clause 3 (2006 film)
I was a definite fan of the Santa Clause movie, and even the sequal grabbed my attention and left me wanting to add it to my Christmas collection each holiday season. However, the third movie was one that left me wondering what they were thinking by creating another movie …
10 Things I Hate about You
If there’s anything that will bore me fast, it is a love story. This is especially true when the love story takes place between two high school kids. But, I will admit, the movie 10 Things I Hate About You isn�t too bad.
I�m not a big Julia Stiles fan. …
The Lake House movie

The Mississippi Gambler (1953)
Unfortunately, they rarely show “The Mississippi Gambler” on television much nowadays, but, when it does come on, I consider it a personal treat, since Tyrone Power is one of my favorite classic screen actors.
In this movie, he plays Mark Fallon, a skilled riverboat gambler from an old …
Bloodrayne
Bloodrayne is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time and considering how many movies I watch a year, that’s saying a lot. The only reason I watched the movie is because it had Billy Zane in it and I’ve been a fan of his since …
Friday the 13th Part 3
Friday the 13th part 3 is a movie that makes me laugh, though not in a good way. Part of it is the bad special effects, while a larger part is simply how dated the movie is after all these years. It makes me wonder how they ever based …

Disturbia
I just love Shia La Beouf’s movies. This is another one of them. It was released in 2007, under the horror category. However this was more of a thriller than horror.
The story is about a boy Kale(Shia La Beouf) who is under house arrest for punching his Spanish teacher …

Black Water DVD
I rented this DVD to watch over a weekend. This film really ruined my weekend. A really boring film, with hardly any scenes. It should have been labeled as drama or documentary rather than horror/thriller.
The movie is about these 3 people Adam, Grace an Lee decide to fish in …

Con Air
I must admit that I am not a Nicholas Cage fan, but this actor manages to get involved himself in very exciting movie projects that one cannot simply ignore. Apart from “The National Treasure” movies, one of my Cage’s movies is “Con Air”.
Why do I enjoy watching over and …
My Best Friend’s Girl movie
My Best Friend’s Girl from 2008 is a disaster. The only reason I watched this thing was because I noticed a listing in the credits for Patrick Swayze that referred to this movie. He was given ’special thanks’ along with a few other performers. I knew …

Tonight, I got to see it again. And, I have to admit, it is as funny as I …
Little Shots of Happiness (R, 2000) movie
I thought I would like this movie more than I did. The filming is extremely grainy. And while that might have added to the authentic feel, I found it intrusive. Additionally, Frances is quite a boring lady, even after she decides to leave her …
Satan’s Playground
If you ever want to spend 90 minutes of your life feeling like you are wasting your time, you should watch the movie Satan’s Playground.

The Invisible Man movie
This James Whale horror story, that came out between the Frankenstein movies, is my favorite of his work. Chilling story filled with suspense and remarkable effects and terribly good acting - especially from Claude Rains as the invisible man - makes this a landmark in early horror cinema. The …
Paul Blart: Mall Cop
The first thing I thought when I saw this movie advertising was that the movie looked like it was going to be unusual, but not necessarily funny. When I actually got to watch it though, I realised how right I was, as I never laughed one time throughout the …
The Martian (Movie )

Movie: “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”
This movie was supposed to be the new “funniest movie of the year” but due to bad writing, bad characters, and bad plot, it fell sadly short.
Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks play Zack and Miri, friends/roommates who have fallen on hard times. Randomly, they decide to film a pornographic …
