Vampire Hunter D (movie 2000)
A wonderful piece of artistic vision. This film is second to none in its class of animation. The plot was beautifully done. What’s it about you ask…should I tell you, or, should I just allow you to watch the movie and be in awe at its magnificence. I’ll tell …
The Truman Show
Fifteen years ago, what takes place in this movie would have seemed impossible. Today, with all kinds of reality shows imaginable, it is eerily realistic. The main character, a young man named Truman (Jim Carrey), is an unsuspecting star of a big reality show. Since his birth, he had …
“Whip It” (2009 film)
Like any discerning cinema fan, I’ve always been slightly suspicious of Drew Barrymore. Can she act? It seems for every decent performance she delivers, she chooses some unbelievably soulless project that would make even the finest acting look like a middle-school play. And way too often it seems like …
Movie : Bangkok Dangerous (2008)
Quick word of advice… If you’re one of those people that have decided to dismiss Nicholas Cage and any films that he may star in I suggest moving on to different review as I really liked this movie and am a big supporter of Nicholas Cage in general.
Apparently …

Movie: Fingerprints
When my wife picked out the movie Fingerprints off our Netflix instant watch queue last night, I honestly wasn’t expecting a whole lot from the movie. After all, most of the so-called horror films out there are nothing more than soft-core porn in disguise or think extra blood and …
Open Road movie
I am quite shocked that I never heard of a movie that has Justin Timberlake in it; somehow, the movie Open Road appeared in the movie rental store without me having ever heard of it. I follow Justin Timberlake’s music and acting career, mainly because I think he will …
A Haunting: Seasons 1&2 (DVD
I have been dying to get my hands on the DVD set of “A Haunting” a television program that comes on one of those cable channels. Anyway, this program features real stories of hauntings occurring all over the U.S. But before you go thinking that it …

Signs (movie)
The director of this movie, M. Night Shyamalan, first gained critical acclaim with his psychological thriller with The Sixth Sense. While I agree that was a very good movie, I believe Signs to be the stronger of the two. This movie would probably go on my top …
Blockbuster Online
Can I start by saying “Waste of money.”
I can sum up the review in that one sentence, but let me be more specific.
For several months I was subscribed to Blockbuster online and can tell you that it was a terrible service.
Here’s why:
Out of Order. I am a devoted movie …

The 3 Directors:

Wow. Where to begin with this film. I admit I was a bit nervous about Ben Affleck’s directorial debut, but all of those trepidations were washed away within the first ten minutes of the movie. The story opens with the kidnapping of a little girl and the …
Chloe (movie)
“Chloe” was a movie that I wanted to see ever since I saw the trailer back in 2009. I realised that the plot had the potential to be similar to a couple of those that I had seen in the past, and so I watching it wasn’t a very …

Sex and The City Box Set
I was always a fan of the show sex and the city. Recently they released a box set DVD that constains every single episode of the show. Not only do you get all of these great shows, you also get a little bit of a discount because you are …
Not another teen movie
Can you imagine watching a lot of scenes from various films in just one movie? Sounds impossible, however the director Joe Gallen managed to do just this in his original movie with the title “Not another teen movie”.
The storyline of this film consists of a parody of bits and pieces …
Zip.ca Movie Service
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 …
Save the Last Dance
I don’t see much interracial romantic movies so when this movie came out, I decided to watch it. Plus the fact that it stars Julia Stiles who I like so much because of the movie 10 Things I Hate About You (with Heath Ledger). Directed by Thomas Carter, Save …

Now here is a classic, which some will like and others will not. The movie is Jack and the Beanstalk, a 1952 production that features the comedy team of Abbott and Costello. If you like their humor, you’ll probably enjoy this version of the fairytale classic quite …
Blockbuster Online Rentals
Recently, I tried out Blockbuster’s Online Rentals, and it was an interesting experience.
The sign up process was simple enough, and I found the website to be fairly easy to use. I was on the 3-movies at a time program, and I began by making a very long list …
Walt Disney Presents: Beyond Witch Mountain movie

I have watched this movie at least a dozen times. I first saw it in the movie theaters with my room mate during my freshman year of college. I went in there really not sure what to expect because the book itself I actually read. It was written by …
Movie: The Green Berets
I have heard of the movie The Green Berets and have seen bits and pieces of the film in the past. But, this past weekend was the first time I had an opportunity to watch the entire movie. And, for the most part, it wasn’t terrible.
My dad is a …
Cloverfield Movie
Cloverfield, Cloverfield, Cloverfield. Never before have I heard so many people talk about a movie, especially one that was still months away from being released. Starting several months before the movie ever came out, the strange and not very descriptive trailers hit the web and people immediately began talking. …
Bruce Almighty (2003)
This is a ludicrous comedy from the outside but a heresy from the inside. Many Christians who are adept with the Biblical principles will definitely not agree with some ideas presented in this movie concerning God and his being. I admit some scenes here are really funny like when …
The Fault in Our Stars (teen romance movie)
I’ve been a fan of the young actress Shailene Woodley ever since I saw her performance in Divergent. It was clear to me that she had matured as an actress and taken on more mature roles. Therefore, even though I’m certainly no fan of romance movies, I was definitely curious …
Suicide Kings movie

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix
I saw trailer of the fifth part of Harry Potter on HBO, very impressive and attractive. But I watched it and it was disappointed. Everything happened so fast. If you didn’t read the novel Harry Potter and The order of the Pheonix before watching the film, you can not …
Better Than Chocolate movie
Over the weekend I caught a really good movie on HBO. It is called “Better Than Chocolate.” The movie caught my attention because it is about lesbians. I haven’t seen vary many movies made from the other perspective so I decided …
Jack and Jill (movie)
The first time I had heard of the movie “Jack and Jill” was when I had seen the trailer posted on youtube a little before the movie was released. I wasn’t particularly interested in it then, especially since a couple of people who had watched it in the theatres …

The Fourth Kind
I almost did not watch this movie. The beginning was so slow, I all most fell asleep. About the time I was going to take it out and try a different one, it got interesting. I am not a real believer of alien from other worlds visiting us or …
Ajnabi (movie), 2001
The movie Ajnabi was released in 2001. It is a thriller film. I watched this film at theater. The movie is directed by Abbas and Mustan who are famous for directing many good and original thrillers. But this one is a copy of a Hollywood film named Consenting Adults. …
The Vertical Ray of the Sun movie
The vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung is in my opinion one of the most interesting filmmakers the last 10-15 years, which he showed with brilliance in The Scent of Green Papaya and Cyclo. The Vertical Ray of the Sun was the most recent film he made and, similar to …
Ring Out Your Dead movie
I am reviewing the mystery movie, Ring Out Your Dead, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This movie was made in 2004, was produced by Brian True-May, directed by Sarah Hellings, and written by Christopher Russell.
In this murder mystery, the church bells tell all. The movie starts with a …
The Movie Hercules

I was definetely not impressed …
Black Sheep 2008 Movie
I recently saw the movie Black Sheep and I don’t mean the Chris Farley and David Spade movie from the 1990s, though I’m sure someone will see this one and get confused. This movie is actually yet another horror movie spoof, though this one was better received than a …
