Oh why didn’t I watch it earlier??? This movie was in my movie collection but I just didn’t watch it yet. I decided to pop it in the DVD player tonight and wow, what a movie. It kind of reminds me of Edward Scissorhands but the …
Movie The Dark Knight
Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is a marvelous piece of film making that is sure to make the viewer forget about gas prices or mortgage payments for at least 150 minutes. And with the film grossing over $150M in its first weekend, how bad is the economy anyway? …
Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is a rather nice but strange movie. The idea of a magical store is really awesome and in this movie, Dustin Hoffman stars together along with Natalie Portman and with a little help from the cute boy, Zach Mills.
Natalie’s character is the favorite of Dustin …
50 First Dates

The Iron Lady movie
I make it a point to watch as many of the Oscar contenders as possible before the awards are handed out in February, so that my enjoyment of the ceremony itself can be magnified by my rooting for this or that actor, director or writer. This year I wasn’t …
Fargo (1996) Movie
Based on the synopsis of this film by Joel and Ethan Cohen, I would not have bothered with Fargo, but a friend whose opinion I trusted recommended I watch it and it is now one of my favorites. Set in wintry Minnesota, William H. Macy plays a dodgy …
After Dark Horror Fest: Nightmare Man
Nightmare Man is an odd little horror movie that deserves to go straight to DVD. Thanks to the power of the After Dark Horror Fest though, it got a limited theatrical release before ending up on the video store shelves. I picked it up recently simply because I liked …
King Arthur
This movie is based on historical facts behind the Arthurian legends (or at least so its creators claim). If you are into King Arthur, Excalibur, and the Knights of the Round Table, you will probably enjoy this attempt to create a historical portrait of Arthur. According to the movie, …
The Invention of Lying
I was expecting The Invention of Lying to be a romantic comedy, and only a decent one, because while I love Ricky Gervais, I do not enjoy the movies which Jennifer Garner does. I figured Gervais’ wonderful, sarcastic, dry, British humour would carry this movie. While Gervais was great, …

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
There is only one word to describe this movie and that is weird. I have never seen a movie as strange as this one before. I had thought it was supposed to be a comedy but I found nothing funny in it at all. I fail to see the …
1408 (Movie)
Wow 1408 was a very good and scary movie. I really thought that the acting in the movie was great. Now the movie is about a guy who spends the nights in haunted hotels and other haunted places. He writes scary books based on his experiences. But he also does …
Lovewrecked movie
When this movie came out, I wasn’t really sure if I’m going to watch it or not. I am not a very big fan of teen-age movies as I am not a teen-ager anymore. But since I admire Amanda Bynes so much, I decided to give it a try.
Here, …
The Gods Must Be Crazy
I wonder where the actors of this 1980 histerically funny movie are now. What I was referring to was the movie “Gods Must Be Crazy I, which had an equally funny sequel Gods Must Be Crazy II in 1989.
I could not tell in the beginning of …

Roman Polanski’s “Oliver Twist,” 2005
I went to see Roman Polanski’s 2005 release of “Oliver Twist” a couple of days ago. I was not disappointed, but I wasn’t very impressed, either. One of the good points is that the story is not in any way “Hollywoodized,” it is told in a straight, true-to-the-source way. …
Whisper A Horror Movie
M Moderate supernatural themes and violence.
Starring Josh Holloway
I will no tell a lie the main reason I decided to watch Whisper was because I am a big fan of Josh Holloway. (Sawyer from the TV series Lost). Fans of Mr Holloway will not be disappointed by this supernatural thriller.
Josh plays …
The Gospel of John
The Gospel of John is my favourite of all four gospels because, rather than focussing on historical facts like the other three, it goes deeper into Jesus’s teachings and philosophy. From the very beginning, it tries to explain the world through what later is was going to become the …
The Cabin in the Woods (movie)
Even though I realize that a lot of other people don’t seem to share my opinion on this, I thought that “The Cabin in the Woods” was a very interesting movie, and I would gladly watch it again. This is despite all the bad reviews that I read about …

30 Days of Night Movie
From the Director of Hard Candy, comes a not so average vampire flick. Produced by Sam Raimi who brought you the Evil Dead series. This movie isn’t life changing, but it absolutely deserves a watch!
This film captured my interest for the sheer fact it was a vampire movie! Over …
Titanic movie 1997
Titanic movie is one of the best lovestory that I have ever seen. Titanic became a huge hit when it was shown is the huge screen. Especially in this movie famous actors stars. This movie stars Leonardo di caprio as Jack and Kate Winslet as Rose. Jack and Rose …

The Insider
I thought The Insider was a great movie. This movie was very exciting and interesting. It shows how dangerous being an insider with info can be. This is a story about a man who is an insider at the Tobacco industry. He works for the Tobacco industry, but he knows …
The exterminating angel movie
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is probably the one film most people remember the director Luis Bunuel for, but actually, The exterminating angel tells a very similar story and was made about ten years earlier by Bunuel. It tells the story of a group of rich people who …
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Movie
After the success of Transformers in 2007, I couldn’t wait to see what they would do with the Transformers next. To be honest, I loved and hated Transfromers Revenge of the Fallen. For many different reasons. I did not think that Revenge of the Fallen was as good or …

Silent Hill Movie
On Sunday, me and my boyfriend and our best friends James & Joan went to see Silent Hill. Both James and Alex had played Silent Hill the game (I didn’t even know it was a game) so they had high expectations for the movie.
At first the movie was slow …
Speak the Movie
I read the book speak a little while before I watched the movie, and both were equally bad. The movie was a little more confusing, and the characters were even more fake that they were in the book ,but at the same time, it was all okay because I …
2 Fast 2 Furious Movie 2003
When it comes to car chase movies, Fast and Furious movies have taken them to a whole new level. While they don’t really fall under some of my favorite films that I go out of my way to watch, they have great looking cars and cool car chases to …
Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003 movie)
In continuation from Desperado, El Mariachi (Antonio Bandaras) has once again lost his love as Carolina (Selma Hayek) is killed. This time the gun fight action is lame and played out as the director has lost his flare and direction. The movie is laced with crappy acting, crappy staging, …

Silent Movie
I finally got a chance to watch one of the two Mel Brooks movies I haven’t seen before; Silent Movie (the other one I haven’t seen is High Anxiety). I saw it was available on my Netflix player and took advantage of the service.
This was a great movie.
The film, …
The Internship (movie)
One of the movies that I watched very recently was a comedy named “The Internship” starring the popular comedy actors Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. While I didn’t think that it was the funniest movie that I had seen recently, I still thought that it was interesting and light-hearted …
Gabriel
I’ve first known of the movie Gabriel after I saw my aunt watching it. I asked her what’s the movie she’s watching and what is it all about. Since she was not accustomed to telling tales, she answered me directly with, “The angel Gabriel of course.”
Gabriel is an Australian …
Happy Feet
Movies about penguins seem to have come out of nowhere in the recent months. With the obsession over March of the Penguins and the glee over Happy Feet, people are fascinated by penguins and the rituals surrounding them as they grow up.
An approximation of the true nature of how …
A Christmas Story (movie)
What strikes me as the main appeal of a Christmas story isn’t that it is a Christmas movie. It’s a story of youth, family and friends, with extra helpings of nostalgia (try eating that, Randy!).
The 40’s is captured brilliantly-the products surround the parkers, Higbee’s department store, the time of …
Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)
