The movie Friday
The movie Friday is a freaking hilarious movie and made me laugh so hard. The beginning of the movie is kind of boring though and the first 20 minutes of the movie sucks to be honest but after that it starts to become real funny. From the beginning of …
Ant-Man (Superhero Movie)
Ant-Man was possibly the only Marvel movie that caught me off-guard because I didn’t remember hearing of the superhero until after I saw the movie trailer, and because I wasn’t sure how seriously I could take one that had shrinking to the size of an ant as a superpower. However, …
Forever Lulu movie
Forever Lulu is a 2000 movie that took forever to be released. In fact, the independent picture never did make a real theatrical run and was ultimately released on DVD. However, while foreign titles went under the film name of Forever Lulu, in the United States, the …

The Brothers Bloom
I didn’t know what to expect when I rented The Brothers Bloom DVD; I had heard about this movie a bit, but not enough to get an idea what it would be like. I loved it, and in my opinion, it deserves a lot more hype than it got.
The …
The Curse of the Wear Rabbit
The Curse of The Wear Rabbit seem to amaze me when it comes to special effects. I like how they made the clays to move in the scenes as if they were real. I like how they made the clay models seem to be living. I also like how …
Star Wars: Episode 3- Revenge of the Sith
OK, so I absolutely bashed the first two prequels in the series. And while Episode 3 does deserve some hate, it’s not near the level of hate I gave to the first two. Hayden Christiansen still can’t act and he and Natalies relationship is still one of …
The New Daughter Movie (2009)
I like Kevin Costner, and I like horror and suspense movies as well, so my mother and I watched this on DVD and during the first parts I thought it was scary, but it depends really on a person because I do scare easily! I found the plot to …

War of the Worlds (Movie 2005)
This is an interesting film to watch for the first time as you just want to see the outcome. To want to watch this movie more than once is strictly an individual experience, as I found that it does not have what it takes to hold me glued to …
Howl’s Moving Castle (Movie 2004)
Howl’s Moving Castle is one of the most romantic, magical and amusing movies that Studio Ghibli has produced. I was in my grade school years when I first watched Howl’s Moving Castle and I never really understood what the whole story was about. Now, several years later (I’m already …
The A-Team (2010) movie
Saw this really later than it came out in theaters but I have to said it was alot better than I had expected. I had never seen the tv show before so yes I know that my view was not based on the original tv show so everyone will …
Salt Movie (2010)
The movie “Salt” has received a lot of much-anticipated hype, especially around my hometown. I have to admit that I was a bit excited to see another good flick featuring Angelina Jolie. I liked her in “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”, “Tomb Raider”, etc. Therefore, my dad …
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon movie
I recently went to the theaters to see the new Transformers movie: Dark of the Moon. I remember when I saw the first movie. I did not know if it would be cheesy and fall short in terms of story, because it seems like that could be an easy …
House of Wax
Starring: Elisha Cuthbert (Carly), Paris Hilton (Paige), Chad Michael Murray (Nick), Jared Padalecki (Wade) Brian Van Holt (Bo/Vincent)
This is categorized as a horror show; however I was not terrified; instead I was more taken with the lifelike wax sculptures and the way they were created.
The story started with …
Blockbuster Online Rentals
Recently, I tried out Blockbuster’s Online Rentals, and it was an interesting experience.

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
I just finished watching this movie few days ago with my family. I have watched the first movie “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” before but I am not impressed with it at all. There are just too many missing plots and the action scenes are pretty normal, …
Spoorloos movie
This is a film in which the plot has to remain a secret to have any power to it. All I can say is that the film tells the story of a dutch couple on a vacation together. That’s how the film begins anyway, then there’s a twist and …
In The Heat of The Night movie

One of my favourite movies from the mid nineties is a movie called “The Mask” starring the actors Jim Carey and Cameron Diaz. I still think that it was one of Jim Carey’s best movies and it was the best I had seen actress Cameron Diaz look in a …

Jacobs Ladder
Jacobs Ladder is a strange movie, to say the least. I have watched Jacobs Ladder several times and still don’t know for sure if Jacob, the main character, is just a psychotic man with mental problems or if what he experiences actually happened. That is the appeal of this …
I Am Legend (R, 2007) movie
I have finally gotten around to seeing “I Am Legend”. I wish that I hadn’t seen the movie… Or better yet, I wish that I had read the novel, or seen 1971’s “Omega Man” first. At any rate, I am not really a huge Will …
