Netflix
I signed up many years ago for Netflix. I actually planned to sign up for Blockbuster by Mail but there was some problem when I tried to sign up so I eventually gave up and I just decided to sign up for Netflix instead.
After all these years I am …
Underworld
Vampires and werewolves have always made great movies. Other than Gone With The Wind, i think the original Dracula movie is among the most popular of all time. One thing vampire movies have never lacked is a smoking hot girl in them gracing the screen. Usually, the girls end …

Species III (2004)
Third in the franchise of the species series, this one did not live up to the hype and instead of crashing and burning in the theatres trying to rake in the box office bucks, it went directly to DVD, and that is what you call ’smart’. Now, if you …

The Prestige (PG-13, 2006) movie
This was an interesting movie. Not quite what I expected. But since I love Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman–so that in and of itself warranted a viewing. However, this is a story that is relayed with care and precision. But I will admit that certain …
Daybreakers movie
Although I won’t go as far and say that Daybreakers was a bad movie, I was still quite disappointed in it when I watched it yesterday for several reasons. I was unable to understand why a few people I knew said they liked it too, when to me it …
X-Men Movie
I marveled at the thought that an X-Men movie was going to be made at last, but all that was cut to threads when I finally saw the film. While the plot is comic like as it should be, it was without intrigue. Some of the characters where well …
End of Watch (crime drama movie)
“End of Watch” is definitely one of the best crime dramas in recent times. Here is a spellbinding, action, cop thriller, full of good performances and rendering a strong sense of comradeship. It is also about the realistic, ugly world of crime and drug trafficking. As is the case of …
The Great St Trinians Train Robbery - Film 1966
We are not talking your recent remake here - we are talking vintage St Trinians and the Great St Trinians Train Robbery was the only one of the original four to be made in colour. In the 1960’s this was something quite new and it has been said by …

This is a very fun and nice movie to watch! This is perfect for teens and adults and for couples as it’s really funny and the story is all about a guy named John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) who has a lot of girlfriends, and when the girls find out …
Two Weeks Notice (2002)
Two Weeks Notice is a movie starring two of hollywoods’ heavy hitters in that of Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock. The plot of this movie has been done so many times over and over it starts to become so repetative, but just like a bad song that you just …
The Number 23 movie
Starring:
Jim Carrey (Walter Sparrow/Fingerling), Virginia Madsen (Agatha Sparrow/Fabrizia), Logan Lerman (Robin Sparrow), Danny Huston (Issac French/Dr Miles),
I was not sure what to expect from this movie, though the synopsis described the obsession of a man with a book. I had taken this DVD up, as I …
G-Force movie
This movie is about guinnea pigs having the skills to be secret agents. As most of the ’superhero type’ movies, they are there to save the world from threat or destruction.
The movie is basically for kids. The main characters were presented in a ‘cute’ manner. The …
Hollow Man
There’s something I don’t understand about this movie. Not with the story and plot but on how the character has of the young scientist Sebastian Caine (played by Kevin Bacon) has changed from a nice guy in the beginning of the movie into a cold blooded killer of …
The Last Kiss (2006)
I always love the movie about temptation and choice and that’s the reason why I directly decided to watch this movie after watching its trailer.
This movie is about Michael, a lucky guy with a perfect life : Good Friends, Great Career, and beautiful girlfriend, just exactly what he dreamed …
The Little Mermaid
Of all the Walt Disney movies that are out there, the Little Mermaid has to be one of the more colorful ones. Prior to the bad sequels and the even worst television series, this movie was an inspiration for future underwater tales, including Nemo.
My daughter isn’t very good at …
Kick Ass: Movie
Kick-Ass is one of my favourite films to come out of the last couple of years, mainly down to how unique it is and its fascinating analysis of a wannabe superhero.
This superhero is just an ordinary teenager, and the story shows that. You get a good back story to …
True Grit Movie
The age of Westerns has certainly passed. I cannot remember the last time a movie qualifying for that category has been widely, successfully released. And yet, apparently there is still an audience for them as can be seen with the release of True Grit, a Coen Brothers remake of …
The Good Shepherd Movie
The Good Shepherd,directed by Robert De Niro, presents the history of the Central Intelligence Agency through the events of one CIA agent, Edward Wilson. While the idea behind this film seems worthy, I found it, at 167 minutes, to be a tedious mess.
This is De Niro’s first official …
Money Talks (1997)
This is the story of a man who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and winds up being caught up in happenings that could very well be to his detriment. After being charged with a crime and on his way to prison to …
American Sniper, movie
Possibly one of Clint Eastwood’s most acclaimed directorial efforts, naturally surpassed by “Million Dollar Baby”, “American Sniper” is both transfixing and emotionally powerful in exploring the turbulent life of the factual Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper): regarded as the United States’ most brutal and lethal sniper. Opening with an intense and …
Spiderman 3
I saw Spiderman 3 at a matinee the weekend after it opened. There had already been a ton of reviews stating just how horrible it was and that Sam Raimi is just a huge dissapointment with this one.
NEVER listen to critics. Always make your own decision when …
Night at the Museum, Shawn Levy Movie

Stargate SG-1 The First Commandment
The fifth episode of the first season of Stargate SG-1 was called “The First Commandment”. Frankly, it’s not a big favorite of mine, though it has some fun moments to it.
Basically, the episode is about an SG team leader gone bad. He starts believing he’s a god. …
White Noise Film
White Noise: The Light Starring Nathan Fillion
M Moderate horror themes, Moderate violence, Infrequent moderate coarse language
If ever there was a film that could have been fabulous and fell short it is White Noise: The Light. The beginning is gripping; a loving husband and wife have just celebrated their …

Titanic (1997 movie)
One of the longest movies that I have ever watched. It’s a love story on a doom Ocean Liner. The movie Titanic, based on history as the largest ship ever built…it sank, and it killed alot of people, very very sad. That is not the focus of this…the focus …
Lady in the Water (PG-13, 2006) movie
This movie got a really bad rap. I think that M. Night Shyamalan makes some really great films. I knew that this movie would not be “scary” because of the things that were said before it was released. But what people have to understand about this …
Movie “Case 39″ (2009)
I do not particularly like or have anything against Rene Zellweger. This movie was ok. I liked the plot but some of it was cheesy and too campy for my taste and I like horror and campy movies. The plot is cool in this film. …

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 …
Netflix
Recently, I evaluated the Netflix rental service. It’s very much like that of Blockbuster’s, where you select the DVDs you’d like to rent, they send them to you, you return them, and then the next one is sent. Unfortunately, the Netflix trial isn’t as long as Blockbuster’s …

Wanted movie
I’m such a huge fan of Angelina Jolie that I’ve seen every film she has starred in. The latest of which is “Wanted”, the action-packed flick based on the comics by Mark Millar and JG Jones and directed by Timur Bekmambetov about Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) a man who …
Movie Eternal Summer

Japanese Animation Code Geass
Do you like the story plot or characters of Death Note?

Or are you interested in Clamp works?
Well, if you happened to be one of those above, you are going to love this animation show called Code Geass : Lelouch of the …

The Transporter
“The Transporter” movie was released when I was still in high school. I believe I was about fourteen years old at the time, and had to listen to most of my friends talking about it as many of them thought the movie was exciting and adrenaline filled. I found …
Neve Been Kissed
I like Drew Barrymore, she has such a vitality that it just bursts off the screen. I saw a movie on TV the other night that she starred in. It was called Never Been Kissed.
This was a sweet movie about a 25 year old journalist who decided …
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 …
Earth Girls Are Easy (1988)

Joshua, filmed in 2002, gives a rather non-traditional account of a (possible) second coming of Christ. A friendly and mysterious stranger comes to a small town and rents a barn to live and work in. Nobody knows who he is or where he is from, only that his name …
Yes Man (starring Jim Carrey)
Imagine having to say “yes” all the way and not able to say “no” at all. It would be very, very strange indeed and definitely scary. Jim Carrey sizzles pretty much with the character of Carl Allen and from start till finish, I kept on laughing like a …
Two for the Road: A Stanley Donen Film (1967)
This is definitely my favorite Stanley Donen film. I watched this movie last New Year’s Eve, and though, I was willing to let go of those bygone memories, I never could forget “Two for the Road.” Because I love Audrey Hepburn, there’s no other particular reason that …
Koyaanisqatsi movie
This is the first avant garde film from Godfrey Reggio that uses a completely unique narrative based on the rythm between images and music. Or actually, it isn’t completely unique, but I believe Koyaanisqatsi was the first full feature film to be created like this and certainly the most …
13 Going on 30
When I first rented 13 Going on 30, my first thought was, this is going to be a lot like the movie “Big.” I was glad I was wrong about it.
Jennifer Garner does a great job portraying a 13-year-old girl who wishes she was 30 back in the 80s …
DIE HARD
DIE HARD is one of the greatest action movies of all time. I thought this movie was very funny and also very violent. The plot is simple but great. A bunch of terrorist have taken over a hotel and want to take all the money in the place. They also …
