Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
I had heard of the play Sweeny Todd and then heard of the movie from last year. I was interested in seeing the movie. When I first sat down to view the movie I was curious.
In my opinion, Johnny Depp is a good character actor. I also really …
Three monkeys movie
The film won the Cannes Film Festival last year for best director, several friends said such awards are granted, the reasons for the “three monkeys” to the family story with personal style perfectly packaged together. I also wonder why this “packaging” rather than “portfolio”, a large reason may lie …

300
First off, let me start off by saying that I am not a huge fan when movies are done with nearly all CGI. I like when it is used properly and peppered into the movie like a Lord of the Rings or Narnia has done in the past. …
The Ring movie
The Ring is one of the best scary movies to come out this decade. I think this movie is up there with the Exorcist. The US version is very well done and very creepy. I think what is so scary about the movie is that the whole time you …
Made of Honor
I watched the Made of Honor movie with my friends; we were not keen on going for the movie as my sister said it was not that great. Since all of us were bored out our minds, we went for it. The movie was good and ok. It is …

The Eye (Movie)
This movie is the American version of the original Japanese version’s The Eye, and I honestly think it was poorly done. The effects were much scarier and of course, the original movie was different from this one as it had omitted parts that were much scarier than by watching …
Dumb and Dumber To, movie
Jim Carrey films were one of the most prominent features of my childhood so it was with some nostalgia that I approached this movie, even though the original Dumb and Dumber has never been one of my favourites. Carrey’s recent films have been relatively subdued in comparison to …

Heath Ledger’s A Knights Tale
Heath Ledger was best at his old-fashioned roles I think. He could play the gentleman, the rogue, even the villain, but his most touching films are ones that he is dawning an old-fashioned tunic, and this is one of those. This was the first movie of his that I …

Masters of Horror: Cigarette Burns (movie)
This film is one in a series of horror movies directed by different individuals. I have realized that after a period of time, these films are more like “Tales from the Darkside” episodes, only with more gore, sex and violence. At any rate, this episode: Cigarette Burns …

Mike Epps: Inappropriate Behavior (R, 2005) DVD
Mike Epps’ first attempt at doing a stand-up comedy DVD was quite the success. This 2005 DVD features all the nuances of Epps quirky and outrageous personality. But the really funny parts of his performance revolve around the realities of life. What I loved in …
Batman & Robin movie
Quite honestly, I have yet to see any of the Batman movies, though I’ve seen lots of clips and stories on filming them throughout the years. I remember back in the era when this Batman & Robin movie was filmed. There were a number of media segments …

Thunderbirds (2004)
The movie adaptation of a regular and popular television series. The difference between the movie and the series is that instead of using the puppets from the TV, they have replaced them with live actors to do their worst. I didn’t stutter, they really did their worst in this …
Movie Sister Act
I doubt if there is someone who didn’t watch this hilarious comedy with the actress, Whoopi Goldberg at her best. If there is someone who didn’t watch it, run to the nearest DVD bookshop and by a copy right now!

“It’s Complicated” movie
The “It’s Complicated” movie with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin is a fantastic movie. It is a very “grown-up” movie (rated R) meaning that it deals with adult issues and emotions. Streep’s performance goes without saying: awesome, honest, mature, whitty, and real. Baldwin plays such …
Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector
When I started watching Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector, I was doing so expecting to write a review about how lousy the movie was. I figured it would be full of crude humor and I would get bored with it within minutes.
I was right about the crude humor. …
Open Season
When I finally got around to watching the movie Open Season this past weekend, I figured it would be a lot like the other animated movies I’ve watched recently. I was right. But, it was still entertaining.
The movie, which centers around a bear who was raised by humans but …
Righteous Kill
I highly recommend this movie. Robert de Nero and Al Pacino play in it together. Both are great in the movie, they grab your attention and don’t let it go. You have to pay attention to the movie to really understand what was going on. The other actors in …
Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist
What I liked most about Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist is one of the scenes at the end. Barbara Barrie appears again as Joy’s mother. The two don’t get along very well, but yet at the end, they share a calm moment. The really good …

Django Unchained movie
Love him or loathe him, Quentin Tarantino remains a Hollywood institution. One of only a handful of directors who can command a bigger box office clout than most stars. Not that QT is adverse to casting big named talent in his movies. On the contrary, Brad Pitt and more …
Obsessed
I wasn’t sure I wanted to watch the movie “Obsessed” this past weekend. But, my wife wanted to see it and it was her birthday.
