Oh boy, where to begin? Let me start by saying that yes, I am a bit of a movie snob, but I am perfectly capable of appreciating and enjoying a dumb comedy. I mean, I watched Grandma’s Boy four times. On purpose. And I laughed …

If any of you like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, then you have probably seen “The Game Plan”. My husband loves the Rock and watches all of his movies. I think he’s an ok actor, but I really think he did a good job in the movie “The …

Can a goodbye be happy? Not just leaving each other for a “see you soon” time, but a natural parting. When everyone understands that they are saying goodbye to a part of their life, saying goodbye to a piece of themselves, letting go of their love.

One life, halfway through life, …

Initially I thought that Daniel Craig would not be a good James Bond. I thought he was not worthy of the 007 title. I am Bond purist. At first glance, I thought that he did not fit the style. Plus, he seemed like he had too much softness about …

I expected more from this movie. Yes, it was nice to see Johnny Depp as the funny Captain Jack Sparrow again, and Orlando Bloom as Will Turner with his sword fighting, and of course the beautiful Keira Knightley as Elizabeth. But the story was empty to me. From the …

When my wife rented the movie “The Haunting of Molly Hartley” I wasn’t sure what to expect from it. On one hand, we’ve rented other thrillers in the past and have been very disappointed in them. On the other, the description of the movie looked someone compelling.
As it turns …

As a fan and frequent watcher of horror films, I was naturally looking forward to this film. As I passed the theater last night, I was stopped in my tracks by the flyer itself. It was an extremely well executed throwback to 1980s campy, horror film posters and it immediately …

This is your average film and it doesn’t reach anywhere near the “Volcano” that took place in Los Angeles. There is only one truly scary moment near the beginning of the picture and after that it’s typical drama with no thrills, although there are some dangerous moments near the …

Okay, so I just finished season one of Black Butler and I am having such an emotional turmoil. I have developed such a strong emotional attachment to the characters because of their distinct personalities, mainly Ciel and Sebastian (the master and the butler, respectively). I absolutely love this series …

I remember vividly the conversation I had with the clerk at Blockbuster about Tiger Warsaw. I was in the process of becoming a huge Patrick Swayze fan and was renting some of his movies that I hadn’t seen. She warned me about Tiger Warsaw, telling me it …

This movie is a real gem. Peter Falk plays Abel Shaddick, an angry old man who seems to hate everyone and everything. However, Falk manages to make his character interesting rather than totally unlikable: we want to know the reason of his anger, and as we suspect that the …

The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …

When a plane crashes in the middle of the Sahara desert, the people on board are seemingly left beyond rescue, but it appears one of the passengers is an airplane constructor and is able to rebuild the plane they where travelling in.
This is definitely not one of Robert Aldrich’s …

Monsters Inc from Pixar is a delightful movie about an alternate universe where monsters are the citizens. What are monsters? Basically a race of colorful creatures, all unique and different, which inhabit a world very similar to our own. The main characters of the story are Sully (a large …

A sequel that should not have been made…why does everyone need to do a sequel? Was there something from the original Crow that was felt uncovered that they really needed a second installation, or, did they truly believe that they could make more money off re-doing a movie with …

It’s amazing how you can go into a movie expecting horrible acting, and a bad plot. But Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have really tapped into a very interesting story about Hector Lavoe. Many people have never heard of this famous salsa king from New York City …

Last night I was able to walk down to the local movie theatre and view “The New World.” This was a film I was pretty excited about to see because it was rarely released to local theatres, plus Christian Bale was in it.
Well, I don’t drink alcohol, but …

“The Wackness” is one of those films that you will only like if you are a fan of drama that encompasses smarmy dialogue and very little action. This movie is set in the 90s around the time that the Notorious B.I.G. was really popular. This high school …

Titanic is one of the most educational yet romantic and sad films I have ever seen. The film is told by an old lady who was on the titanic when it sank. It is told as a story of what happened to her from the moment she entered the …

I just went to see the film “A Scanner Darkly” and I thought it was brilliant. The story is a cautionary tale about drug addiction. As such, it deals with a lot of material not appropriate for children, but could also be considered an important film for youth and …

I did not like this movie; I found it very depressing. I heard a lot about it, and yes, Leonardo DiCaprio does an excellent portrayal of a retarded teenager, Arnie; you feel sorry for him, but even more so for those who must live with him and take care …

A couple days ago, I watched the docudrama “Shooting Dogs” on the cable television channel, Showtime. It is a British film about a BBC reporter’s experience of being trapped in the African country, Rwanda, during the nineteen ninety four genocide of the Tutsis by the Hutu tribe.
Many people, …

Jean Renoir or was undeniably the most interesting french filmmaker of the 1930s. A day in the country is one of his absolute finest works. It tells the story of two men and one woman taking a trip to the country together. Both of the men falls in love …

There is something definitely charming about the Kingdom of Heaven movie. Not only is it a wonderful epic movie, but there is a sense of real movie magic and silent dignity hidden somewhere in the lines. It does not set out to be a righteous movie with great ideas …

This movie is called The Social Network and it features the real-life story behind the billionaires of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin. This movie is really dramatic and when I watched this the movie house was all filled and I was surprised that Facebook has become so popular …

Avatar(2009) is a post-apocalyptic action/adventure/SciFi/romance rated PG-13 for Adult Language, Adult Situations, and Violence…lots of Violence.
Not being a fan of James Cameron’s films (Titanic, the Terminator series, ect.), I went to see Avatar wondering whether it could possibly live up to the hype. Two hours and forty minutes (which …

I have had a subscription to Zip.ca for about four months. I live in a rural area, so I like not having to rush into town to return movies as there are no due dates for titles as long as your membership is current.
I pay under $30 a …

One of the animated movies that I watched fairly recently was Epic. I must have seen the trailer advertise a million and one times and not show any interest in seeing it, before I finally yielded one day after one of my family members got the blu-ray version and …

For most people in the west, a child who has entered the age of twenty years usually have separate living with they parents. However, it appeared that this does not apply for Tripp, a youth aged thirty years that still endure living with both parents. In the work he …

“To Sir with Love” is one of my all time favorite movies. I’ve seen it dozens of times and I still cry every time I see the movie. I think it is the ultimate teacher movie ever. The 1967 Columbia British Productions movie was filmed in color and lasts …

New Girl, New School, New Clique…you get the point. It’s another one of those chick flicks. “Mean Girls” is a fun watch with many of the stereotypical cliches, but it brings them to life with a capable cast of Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Tina Fey.
I can’t exactly …

I had been waiting on the edge of my seat for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to come out. I watched all of the movies prior to this one on DVD three or four times in the last month, getting reaquainted with the story and the …

V for Vendetta (2005)
Director: James McTeigue. Featuring: Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving and John Hurt.
In my eyes, the movie stands somewhere between greatness and boredom, all depends on how you like your movies. It is told in a non realistic, graphic novel style. The heroes are symbolic and …

Rio Bravo is a wonderful western. It was so good that they repeated it, changing character names and just a few pieces of plot, as El Dorado. Make no mistake about it, though, Rio Bravo is the original and the best. It was magnificent. John …

Never forgive, never forget.
A true quote that pretty much sums up the plot of this fantastic movie which came out in 2007. Based on the hit Broadway thriller-musical which starred Angela Lansbury as Mrs.Lovett and Len Cariou as Sweeney, this movie was directed by Tim Burton (The Nightmare Before …

I recently had the opportunity to watch this movie on the Disney Channel and I have to say that I loved it. Directed by John Stevenson and released in 2008 by Paramount Pictures this was a fantastic movie that made me laugh and smile just like I was a …

From 2002, Farewell to Harry is a small story, told quietly. It has some very slow moments, but that’s the grace of the film. It also has that mystery to it, to figure out what is truth from what is whimsy. I found that as I …

I watched this movie before it received, as it happened, widespread critical acclaim, and so I actually was watching it without any expectations. And I should say, that when I started reading news reports about all the recognition that this movie got, I was rather surprised. It was puzzling …

I had Whiplash on my list of movies to watch from earlier on this year, but never actually took the time out to give it a chance. Recently though when it was airing on one of my cable television channels I decided to give it a try. I liked it. …

The director Rob Zombie hasn’t really proven himself with his first two releases, House Of 1000 Corpses and The Devil Rejects. Both movies were mediocre, House Of 1000 Corpses was down right awful. Zombie’s sense of style might not have been ready for the big screen but Dimension Films …

Daisy’s fitness is a fitness movie helping you to lose weight, obviously. It starts out by little session getting you started, then it goes into a cardio workout, with eight different new steps to learn. You learn each step slowly, then you do the step with tempo, then you …

OK, when my wife insisted on renting the movie Daddy�s Little Girls, I did the same thing any good husband would do; rolled my eyes. In fact, I told her she was more than welcome to watch it while I was at work.
Personally, I never have been a big …

The Ruins was a complete waste of time, which was sad because I really wanted to see it. I kept seeing the movie advertised and telling my friends how good I thought it was. I’ve never read the book the film was based on, but now that I’ve seen …

The Social Network was, for me, one of the best if not the best film of 2010 —“ and one of my all-time favourites.
I wasn’t too sure about the storyline but after recommendations I’m glad I gave it a chance, the plot is a very interesting and I wasn’t …
