Candyman movie
Serial killer movie with supernatural undertones, Candyman is about a woman who hears a ghost story of a young girl getting killed when she stood in front of a mirror and said the word “Candyman” seven times. Just right there I knew this was going to be a foolish …
Walking with Monsters: Before the Dinosaurs
Walking with monsters: before the dinosaurs, is a fascinating documentary. It is divided into three sections, each one covering a different time period. Each half-hour documentary showcases creatures that lived many years before the dinosaurs evolved. The show was fascinating, absolutely riveting. I like it better than …
The China Syndrome
There are times when you like that life imitates art, but that wasn’t the case with this motion picture. Just days after the release of The China Syndrome, a story about a nuclear power plant on the verge of a complete meltdown, the very real Three Mile Island …
One Last Thing - Movie
This is an excellent powerful movie! It was the perfect combination of comedy, tragedy, and inspiration. In this film, a young 16 year old is dying of cancer. He had been granted one wish by a foundation and much to everyone’s surprise, he asks to spend …
I now pronounce you chuck & larry comedy
I pronounce you Chuck & Larry is a comedy featuring Adam Sandler as Chuck and Kevin Gregory as Larry. Based on past Sandler movies i thoght this movie would be a lot funnier. You can tell the plot and basically everything that’s going to happen in the movie within …
Failure to launch/Matthew Mcconagughey & Sarah Jessica Parker
I loved this movie tremendously. As a survivor of the dating scene, I think we have all encountered at least one guy like this. It seems like he is the perfect guy that you have long been searching for. He has all the great qualities and looks irresistable. Then …

Flu Bird Horror movie
The movie Flu Bird Horror is in my top 20 list of one of the biggest pieces of garbage I have ever seen on television. Nevertheless, even though it is in that list, it is further down the bottom since unfortunately, I have seen worse bring broadcast on the …
On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
In 1970, Barbra Streisand starred in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. At first, I don’t really think I understood this film. I saw it a couple of times, but it never really did anything for me. As I got older, though, the film …
The Good Son (1993)
The movie stars the ever lovable and funny character in Macaulay Culkin in a darker light as he takes on the roll of a crazed child with violent tendencies. The events that led up to this discovery were when his cousin is left with him after the death of …
Movie: Doubt
I have finished watching a movie with my mom and my brother last night. The movie is called “Doubt”. Starring Meryll Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. The movie started and ended in the same location - the parish and the school run by Meryll Streep as the …
Batman Begins Movie
When I was three, I had a Batman fixation. I think that fixation has returned in full force after seeing Batman Begins. Every actor puts in a good effort, although the face behind Scarecrow is by far the most convincing and even frightening. Featuring one of …
Movie Fracture
Fracture is about a man who kills his wife (Anthony Hopkins plays this part) and the cops know he did it but can’t prove it basically. I know it kind of sounds a little boring but the movie itself isn’t. Ryan Gosling also plays in the movie. The two …
Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown movie
Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown has quite a few well known names in it, including several famous folks who play themselves. It’s a unique setup for the murder of the movie where the guilty party uses a poker game as part of his alibi, not that it works. …
D.E.B.S (2004)
Chick flick alert! This movie is centered around for basically cheerleading girls who, through a secret test in their school passed to become a group of spies. The test itself is designed to test the candidates’ abilities to fight, lie, cheat and kill. Needless to say, these four passed …
Underdog (2007)
Disney’s remake of the cartoon series into real life with animation. In this movie, a dog assigned to the bomb squad makes his entrance by falsely detecting a bomb that turns out to be a leg of ham. Disgraced by his findings, he left the force after a series …
James Bond Casino Royale Movie
The movie James Bond Casino Royale is the best Bond movie I have seen. The action is amazing, but it also has an engaging, exciting plot. The action is shot and acted in a way that you really feel scared for the characters. It is never …
The Iron Giant movie
The Iron Giant tells the tale of a boy who befriends a giant robot. The robot is actually a war machine but it does not remember its programming (it got a dent on the head..lol). This movie shows how vindictive some people can be when they can’t have things …
Vettaiyadu Vilayadu Movie
This movie was released last year and the film was directed by Mr.Gautham. Kamalahassan as Raghavan played the role of a high police official. He deals a controversial case that involved two medical students. How he deals the case was the story of the movie. …
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (movie)
I’m one of those people who is a big fan of independent films, but for some reason when I saw a trailer of this movie a few months ago I wasn’t very interested in it. The fact that Emma Watson and Logan Leerman played two of the main characters …
Film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Truly one of the most innovative films of the 1980’s, I don’t believe that anyone truly expected what this film was before they witnessed it.
I remember seeing it at the theater when I was around nine years old. I’d seen the advertisements, and while it sure did seem different …
Movie Truman
Truman with Jim Carrey and Ed Harris.
This was a different kind of movie that had me expecting the slapstick humor of which Jim Carrey built his career, but I was sadly disappointed.
There are few effective comedic actors in the industry and Carrey is one of them. …
Shutter movie
When we rented the film Shutter this weekend I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I knew it was a remake of another film made in Asia somewhere and, while some movies (like The Ring) translate out to be terrifying. Others (like the Grudge) aren’t nearly as good.
With Shutter, …
Don’t Look in the Cellar (Trailer, 2009)
Normally, in the first paragraph of a review, I try and proved information such as the stars, director and such. This time, however, that task became untterly impossible, because although this is a trailer, I can’t find word one about anything else related to this film. Now …
When Time Ran Out (1980) movie
Starring: Paul Newman, Jacqueline Bisset, William Holden, James Franciscus, Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, Burgess Meredith, Valentina Cortese, Veronica Hamel, Pat Morita, Edward Albert, and Barbara Carrera.

Mushi-Shi Anime Series
Mushi-Shi is an anime series about a man who travels the country, helping people who have strange encounters and problems with mysterious creatures known as Mushi.
Mushi-Shi is very different from your typical anime. It doesn’t focus on fight scenes or have a lot of action in it. …
Avatar, movie (2009)
Like nearly everyone else at the time Avatar came out, I entered the theater with high expectations that were blown up by well-done trailers and shining reviews. The artistry within the CGI seemed so phenomenal, and the teases for the story seemed interesting. So perhaps my disappointment with …
Applause Videos in Vancouver, Canada
I just had to be a member of this mom and pop video store, even when I already moved to the city of Surrey. Like the clerk said when I signed up for membership, they really would like to concentrate the service on the community they are located …
The 2003 Vampire Movie Alucard
I am yet to recall ever seeing a movie such as Alucard which screamed low budget. I never did watch it in the theatre, and for that I am indeed thankful; however, I did borrow a DVD from a friend to watch what I thought might turn out to …
When Harry Met Sally
When Harry Met Sally was one of Meg Ryan’s old movie. I like her so much as an actress that’s why I bought a DVD of this movie. At first I was skeptical if it was a good movie. I was able to watch it so my verdict is …
Sahara movie
Great movie. Amazing cast starring Mathew McConaughey, Steve Zahn, and Penelope Cruz. The two treasure hunters (McConaughey and Zahn) meet Cruz’ character who is on a mission to find the source of an epidemic. They soon find out that their goals have a common factor and …
Movie Master and Commander
We watched Russel Crowe the other night in a movie that came out a few years ago called Master and Commander.
Russel Crowe is another actor that I find does an extremely good job when he portrays charactors and acts. In this movie takes place during the Napoleonic …
Rat Race movie
What I have found with comedies is you either have ones that give you a few laughs or movies that make you laugh non-stop from start to finish. The movie Rat Race is the latter of the two and one I would recommend to anyone.
The movie features a list …
Dark Skies (movie)
One of the movies that I watched this summer was the movie “Dark Skies”. It’s not to be confused with the television series of the same name that was popular in the late nineteen nineties, even though it has a bit of a similar motif. When I watched the …
The Boondock Saints (1999)
The Boondock Saints, directed by Troy Duffy is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong violence, language and sexual content. The original release date was November 19, 1999 for Denmark audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Drama/Thriller and stars Willen Dafoe as Paul …
The Ugly Truth
I was really excited to see the Ugly Truth with Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler when I heard it was coming out. I had seen an interview with Katherine about it and she said it was raunchier than she had ever done so I assumed it would be …
Cars movie
I finally got around to watching Cars on DVD this past weekend and I’m glad to say, I didn’t waste my money seeing it at the theater.
Cars is a good movie and one that the entire family could enjoy, especially if you’re a bunch of race fanatics. How ever, …
Drop Dead Fred, 1991 movie
Drop Dead Fred which came out in 1991, starring Pheobe Cates, and Rik Mayall, remains one of my favorite movies of all time. I strongly recommend that if you like comedies that you see this movie. The movie is about a woman, Lizzie, who’s husband is seeing another woman …
Thunder Cats
“Thunder Cats” was one of the cartoons I can remember watching with my cousins when I was still a young child, as, although the show was released in the mid to late eighties, one of our local television channels would bring it on weekday afternoons in the nineteen nineties. …
Fred Claus
We went to see the first of the holiday movies of the season on Sunday. We saw the movie Fred Claus with Vince Vaughn playing Fred, St Nick’s older brother. Sanat is played very well by Paul Giamatti who acutually does everything absouletely perfectly, after all he is …
Queen - Don’t Stop Me Now - Single
This for me is just one of the most positive and upbeat songs you can ever find to listen to. So much so that it’s gradual but inspired build up is so recognisable that I have seen it stop dance floors with people singing along with Freddie.
I have to …
Project X (movie)
“Project X” is one of the most exciting movies I’ve watched since the beginning of the summer. Funny enough, even though I’ve been more interested in action movies, this is more along the lines of teenage and college humour. In fact, the movie was actually one of those teen …
The Perfect Storm movie
With a cast of actors such as George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Diane Lane, the movie “The Perfect Storm” had a certain guarantee to be a good movie. I must say that after watching it, what really stole the scene in this movie are the extraordinary special effects. It …
Inside Access Jeff Gordon DVD
I saw the Inside Access Jeff Gordon DVD at the store and picked it up, thinking that it might be interesting. I’m not a fan of the racer, but I do think he’s talented and does some great things both on and off the track. I put it in …

Cleaner, thriller film
Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, and Eva Mendes make up a stellar cast that didn’t make it too big in theaters. Cleaner feels a lot like an episode of CSI, a television show that has millions of viewers each and every week. With its CSI qualities there is more …
Men in Black 3 (movie)
One of the movies that I watched this summer was “Men in Black 3”, starring the first movie’s original actors, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. I have to admit that before I saw it, I was somewhat eager to watch the movie being that the plot sounded very …
