Inception is a 2010 movie that I wouldn’t dream to try to explain in a review. It’s just impossible. You can try to simplify it by saying it’s about people extracting information through dreams, but that wouldn’t do the complexity of the plot any justice. It’s …

The plot of Nim’s Island is very simple and quite predictable. I only watched it because I liked the cast and I especially expected nothing short of great from Abigail Breslin who played Nim.
The story was really geared towards children with its fantastical theme and Nim’s animal friends. …

Disney’s Pinocchio is an animation master piece. Now a lot of people like this new Pixar stuff like Finding Nemo. And they seem to like it because it’s 3D and high tech. But before when animation was done the old fashioned way I thought movies were much better. I really …

Supposedly, this is a sequel to “Butterfly Effect” with Ashton Kutcher; in reality, it is more of an attempt to remake BE-1, for whatever reason. Kutcher isn’t there, in fact there is no connection with the previous story / characters. There are no blackouts, either. A totally different guy …

A friend of mine referred this movie to me because I happen to like independent thrillers. But I found this movie rather unthrilling. The concept was pretty good: a man who has control over luck and fate bestows his gift upon others, but not without great …

Good Against Evil, a 1977 movie, was apparently a pilot for a TV series which didn’t sell. I’m not surprised, to be honest. Unfortunately, this also means that there is no ending really to the picture. That’s because the catalyst for the action had to be …

I recently saw this movie for the first time and truthfully I didn’t like it very much at all. In case you don’t know, “AVP” stands for “Alien Versus Predator”. I did remember the alien from the Alien series of films, but I didn’t recall the Predator at all. …

I was finally able to watch Enchanted on cable on HBO a couple of weeks ago and I just absolutely love it. I was so used to seeing Disney movies create cartoons and yes, I like it. But this time, they were able to incorporate a magical story with …

I don’t think I realized how much of a dark comedy this was going to be. As a matter of fact, I didn’t know that it would be funny at all. The movie centers around a family comprised of a pill-popping, boozing, promiscuous mother (Carrie Anne …

I am reviewing the little known movie, Orgazmo, which was released in 1998. Co-creator of South Park Trey Parker directs, writes, stars in, and even sings the theme song to this movie. He plays an innocent mormon who is offered a job as the role of Orgazmo, a …

After reading about the original …

I enjoyed “Wrong Turn” and “Wrong Turn 2: Dead End” and was all over “Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead” upon discovering its existence. The movie exceeded my expectations since sequels usually go downhill in quality. You know a scary gorefest is going to be good when within the …

Smurfs 2 is an animation, comedy and family movie of 2013 directed by Raja Gosnell who directed the Smurf which was released in 2011. I enjoyed the Smurfs at its peak, and was expecting the same from the Smurfs 2. The Smurfs 2 was releasing with a couple of …

A chick flick about girls and surfing. This was the very fist movie and I think this is the only movie that you will see to date about girls competing in a surfer competition. I get that people want to be equal opportunists and stuff, but there are just …

This movie was much better than I expected it to be. Don’t let the corny name or the image on the DVD case’s cover stop you from watching this fun horror film. And if you’re thinking it’s a bit similar to “The Fly”, you’re right. It’s a more modern …

Congratulations, It’s a Boy! is a movie I recall seeing back when it was released originally in 1971. It starred Bill Bixby as playboy businessman, Johnny Gaines. Bixby did a fine job here, but it was interesting to me when I re-watched it recently that he looked tired …

Though made in 2009, Desperate Escape only premiered on the Lifetime Movie Channel in February 2010. Make no mistake this is a B-movie with a standard, much-used plot and not a single surprise within in, unless you’re new to TV and movies. What it does have, however, …

Normally, I don’t appreciate it when classic stories are being messed with, modernized, turned into musicals, etc. However, this attempt to Americanize the beloved Christmas story by Charles Dickens somehow turned out all right.

I really loved that movie. It is a true blockbuster, filled with all the right ingredients- the cars, the well choreographed and impossible car races, the humour, the friendship and the beautiful woman. Worth watching.
It is …

I watched this movie last weekend and I have to say that I didn’t like it much. The plot was not strong enough and not developed well enough to justify the lessons that Liz Gilbert was imparting in the movie. It did not evoke any feeling, and …

Who doesn’t love this movie ?!? It has Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker in it ! I own it on DVD and in my ipod; I adore those cheesy Halloween-y witch-y movies. I don’t give summaries on my reviews because I don’t want to give the plot away. …

I used to love original movies on the television station “SyFy” but I have to say most of them are starting to look like rip-offs from better known movies.
