The Karate Kid 2010
I had watched the original Karate Kid movies a few tens of times over my life and I really loved them. It was hard for me going to watch the new Karate Kid movie (The Karate Kid 2010), mainly because I was expecting a re-run of the original movie …

Unstoppable (movie)
I watched this movie a few Saturdays ago with two other members of my family, and even though I thought it could have been a little better, it certainly surpassed my expectations of what it might have been like. Based on the ads of it that I saw on …
Rogue movie
I am a fan of monster stories that involve big fish or crocodiles. I was a teenager when Jaws first hit our movie screens and I still think that this kind of movie can be one of the scariest and dare I say it - entertaining of all the …
Keeping the Faith movie
As far as movies are concerned, I’m not really sure if Keeping the Faith is a good one or just slightly above average. I’m leaning toward the latter but feel Ben Stiller carries it a bit further than that. Without him, I don’t think this movie would be even …
Larry the Cable Guy: Witless Protection
I’m a huge Larry the Cable Guy fan; both his stand up comedy and the several movies he’s starred in recently. So, I couldn’t wait to see his newest film, Witless Protection.
While a funny movie, I have to say it really didn’t live up to the standards set by …
Tales from the Crypt-Demon Knight
A horror/comedy type adventure starring William Sadler as a demon knight and Billy Zane as a demon. Death comes to the doorstep of a stranded demon knight and he has to defend the fort or suffer the wrath of a demon and its minions. Jada Pinkett (not married yet) …
Momma Mia
The other day I went and saw Momma Mia in the theatre with one of my friends. It was a fun time. There were several actors in the play with whom I was already familiar, but their roles were very unexpected.
On paper, the movie doesn’t seem very good …
VeggieTales Movie: An Easter Carol
My daughter loves VeggieTales. So, I was glad when I could load a bunch of movies and TV episodes for her on our Netflix player.
One of the short movies I was able to find for her, just in time for Easter, was An Easter Carol. I wasn’t sure what …
The Equalizer (2014 Film)
The Equalizer is an Action film I had the opportunity to view. I was lead to go see it after viewing a trailer for it one evening. As with many of the trailers on TV, I was intrigued almost instantly. I am not the biggest fan of Denzel Washington, …
Great Expectations movie
When I saw the movie “Great Expectations” on the cable guide a couple years ago, I was more expecting a film based on the Charles Dickens novel “Great Expectations” and not a loosely based modern day spinoff from it. In fact, since I had not seen it from the …
Heathers (movie)
I might not see her in many movies now, especially after her shoplifting stunt a couple of years ago but once upon a time, Winona Ryder was one of my favourite actors. I especially liked a couple of her films from the eighties, some of which I could watch …
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (horror movie)
I felt in the mood to watch a paranormal horror movie that would probably keep me awake and paranoid for the rest of the night, but I couldn’t exactly figure out what to watch. It was then that I remembered that the movie “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones” seemed to …
Catwoman
“Catwoman”, released in 2004, was supposed to be a blockbuster, due to the fact that it was based on a comic book superhero and because it starred Halle Berry. It’s fortunate for her that her career was strong enough to survive this movie, because it was way beneath …
No Reservations (2007)
This is the story of a day in the life of a master chef, taking solace behind the scenes she is more at ease preparing the meals for her clientele than basking in the glory of comments that might come her way. A typical day finds her going to …
Punisher: War Zone, comic book action film by Lexi Alexander
Marvel has a lot of memorable characters. One of those characters that everybody knows is the Punisher. It may seem like an easy task to make a movie based around this character, but two prier films have shown that this character is better on paper that on the big …
She’s The Man movie
*Contains Spoilers*
I have to start off and say this has been one of my favorite movies since 1) I saw it in the theater and 2) When it came out during this past 2006 Summer.
I have to admit that the movie is highly unrealistic on a few levels. One …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 28
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 28 starts off with Al and Gluttony going into where Father is. Then Gluttony’s stomach explodes as Ed, Envy and Ling emerge from inside the false Truth Gate. Secrets are revealed and there’s a huge surprise that I won’t give away, but …
The departed movie
During the weekend, I went to watch “The departed” played by Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Jack Nicholson. About ten minutes into the movie, I realized that I have watched a Chinese version of this movie. The difference is “The departed” combines all three sequels of the Chinese version. …
Night of the Demons (2009 movie)
I guess the majority of me figured that based on the rather silly title of this movie, as well as the description that I had read about it on the electronic cable guide, the movie “Night of the Demons” wasn’t going to be very good. However, I ended up …
Movie : Rumour Has It
Starring: Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo
I keep waiting for Jennifer Anniston to wow me and star in a movie where she doesn’t act in the exact same way as her character from “Friends”, Rachel Green. “Rumour Has It” is not the movie to change my perception …
Nicktoons Halloween
My daughter went to Movie Gallery this past weekend and picked out a couple movies from the family section. Since she likes Nickelodeon cartoons, she ended up picking out Nicktoons Halloween to watch.
I’m not sure what my daughter’s obsession with Halloween is but I will admit the DVD does …
Triloquist (Movie)
Triloquist is one of the strangest and worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. The movie was released by Dimension Extreme and that combined with the fact that it was made by the makers of Leprechaun was enough to make me plop down the $4 for the rental …
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
I know at my age it would sound ridiculous but I really like this movie. I wanted to believe even just for two hours that I could go to a place like this. Where in I could walk around both indoor and outdoor and all I can …
Blood Diamond (2006 film)
We have all heard about Africa, we have seen reports on the news, but we have never experienced it as directly and as strongly from the screen as we do with Edward Zwick’s new visually and emotionally competent epic adventure drama film Blood Diamond.
Danny Archer (Leonardo …
My Fair Lady: A Film by George Cukor (1964)
My Fair Lady is definitely one of the best Audrey Hepburn films to date. I’m not enthralled by the designer, Ralph Lauren and his bygone collection inspired from this musical film. But it aroused my interest to watch it anyway. All its posters in Technicolor suggested …
The Chumscrubber movie
The first time I saw the movie “The Chumscrubber” was one time on the summer holidays when I went to my cousin’s house. I only saw the end of it at that time, but I remember it was enough to make me want to see the rest of the …
Movie The Whole Nine Yards
I asked a few people I know if they liked this comedy film, but some of them said it was corny and silly even though I can remember that when I watched it, I thought it was one of the most hilarious comedy films I had ever watched. I …

Race to Witch Mountain - (starring Dwayne Johnson)
Race to Witch Mountain is a brilliant movie that I recommend most of you out there to watch. It is clean, the script and dialogs are also clean and the cast an amazing one. Starring Dwayne Johnson and the brilliant and smart kids in the movie too, whom …
John Tucker Must Die (Movie)
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 …
Batman movie
Batman was Tim Burton’s breakthrough to a major audience, and captures the darkness and gothic aspects of the comic series in a remarkable visual way. Michael Keaton is solid as the hero but the great acting performance is done by Jack Nicholson as the villain The Joker. The role …
Fried Green Tomatoes movie
Fried Green Tomatoes has two plots going on at the same time. The first plot is about Evelyn meeting Ninny while Evelyn and her husband are visiting her husband’s aunt in a nursing home. Evelyn has been thrown out of the cranky aunt’s room, and she retreats to a …
Yes Man Movie by Jim Carrey
There was this time when we watched a movie at Trinoma Cinema, the movie was Yes Man! by Jim Carrey. The movie was fun and it was totally something everyone would love to watch - especially for those who loves a simple movie with lots of laughter and funny …

Cranford dvd
‘Cranford’ by Elizabeth Gaskell has been made into a five part series, now available to buy on dvd.
It has been adapted by the BBC who seem to be masters of making period dramas for television. The story is set in a Cranford; a market town in the north west …
X men Origins: Wolverine
X men Origins: Wolverine turned out to be better than I expected. I wasn’t expecting much because I thought it would be incomplete and completely stupid to concentrate on one character. But it turned out pretty good and interesting.
It did turn out to be a good movie but definitely …
Baby snatcher
I watched this movie on lifetime move network today. Overall it was pretty good. The actors were really good in it, and they had more than one actor that was good. A lot of times in the life time movie networks there are only one good actor in the …

Madagascar 2
I recently had a go at Madagascar 2 since the release of the first one. I remember the tons of popular names in the show that I really didn’t know who at that point of time.
I used to wonder how a lion and a zebra could co exist too. …
Last Holiday 2006 movie
I’ve seen this movie a couple of times now; it’s decent. I don’t think it’s one of those movies that you think of and then you HAVE to see it, but it’s a pleasant movie to watch if it happens to be on.
Some of the acting is pretty good, …

Movie Tinker Bell
I’m sure we all have heard about her. She’s cute, shining, flying and has become a classic. We’ve seen her as Peter Pan’s little friend who doesn’t speak but now she has her very own movie where the spotlight is on her from start to end. It has been …
Movie: Dreamscape
I hadn’t seen the movie Dreamscape in a while so, when I saw I could watch it on instant watch last night, I figured I would take the time to watch it again.
After doing so, I was glad I took the time to re-watch a film I couldn’t remember …
