Headless Horseman movie
I wanted to watch a horror movie with my wife last night but, since we were starting pretty late, I didn’t want to watch anything that was well-known (read that as good) just in case we ended up falling asleep during it. So, I loaded the movie Headless Horseman …
Goodfellas Movie
Scorsese’s depiction of the mafia society is regarded as a classic by many, and tells the life story of a man growing up with these mobsters and rising to the top very quickly. Scorsese uses a voice-over (a narrator) in a way here that has been influential on later …
Batman Begins 2005 Movie
After the terrible versions that came before it, I was frightened that Batman Begins would continue on that downward spiral of failure. I had hopes that it would not because of the amount of time that there was between the two failure films and this one, as well as …
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
OK, maybe it’s because I’ve never read the comic book but this is probably the tenth time I’ve tried to watch the movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and, try as I might, I just can’t seem to get through the entire movie.
I’m sure the concept of a crime fighting …

To Kill a Mockingbird
I am reviewing the movie, To Kill a Mockingbird, which was made back in the 1960s. It starred Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch, Mary Badham as Scout, and Phillip Alford as Jem. This movie remains to be my mother’s favorite and my favorite movie ever. There is just something …
Bubbling Over movie short
Bubbling Over with Ethel Waters from 1934 features Ethel Waters as Ethel Peabody. Also appearing is Hamtree Harrington as her husband, Samson. The whole beginning is on her feet with the broom and it’s highly entertaining. It actually surprised me quite a bit. Sometimes, simple …

Get Smart
I recently watched the show Get Smart in re-runs and thought it was a fantastic show. So, when I had an opportunity to rent the movie based on the series, I figured I would give is a shot.
I have to say, the film Get Smart is absolutely hillarious.
Whenever you …

Analyze This (1998), movie
American comedies have become part of a cliche after the 90s, the main plot being based simply on a failed relationship or some other unsatisfying cheesy drama. What I can claim to be a good comedy with cleverly conceived humour is ‘Analyze This’, the 1998 movie starring Billy Crystal, …
Magnolia (movie)
When I watch a movie I really try to give it a fair chance and will sit through a lot before giving up. I approached the movie “Magnolia” excitedly. It featured William H. Macy, an actor I respect very much, and Julianne Moore who was excellent in “The Shipping …
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (comedy science fiction movie)
Honestly, I wasn’t very interested in seeing a “Hot Tub Time Machine” sequel almost as much as I wasn’t interested in seeing a Paul Blart Mall Cop sequel. However, a friend of mine claimed that he found it very entertaining and funny. I guess that would be the last time …
Dinosaur (Movie)
Last night my kids were at home with a movie in their hands that I would like to comment about because it is fun and very entertaining for them and for adults too.

Deck the Halls
Ok, for the record, it’s a bit too early in the year for Christmas movies. For God’s sake, it isn’t even Thanksgiving yet. But, at least the Christmas movie I came across tonight, Deck the Halls, is funny.
I’m actually not a huge fan of Matthew Broderick or of Danny …
Overheard (Mandarin Movie with English Subtitles)
This movie, Overheard is a Mandarin movie with English subtitles. It is basically a movie about cops and there are lots of issues here that are played at hand. Issues of honesty, integrity, being honest and also of greediness. But amongst all these attributes, there are also …
Freakazoid: Season 1 DVD
I have been waiting for Freakazoid to come out on DVD ever since I accidentally taped over a couple of episodes on my home-made VHS set (whoops). Warner Brothers has finally heard the cries of fans and has given us a three-disc set of the first season. The episodes …

Movie He’s Just Not That Into You
He may not be that into you, but I was completely “into” this movie. An adorable adaptation from the book, this die-hard chick flick follows the love lives (with all their ups and downs) of several hapless singles. He loves her, but she loves the other guy, who’s married …
Midnight Special (2016 Science Fiction Film)
I am a sucker of good sci-fi flicks. There is something about the genre that doesn’t scream “boring”. However, I tend to ignore sci-fi features that don’t generate good interests from critics and audiences alike.
So when I looked at the stats of these film, it struck a chord. A …
Toy Story 3
Do you have so many toys that you do not know what to do with them when the time comes that you don’t want them anymore? Well, if you could watch this one great movie called Toy Story 3, you’ll have an idea what you could do with your …
Dus (movie), 2005
I watched Dus on TV. It released last year in 2005. This film is directed by Anubhav Sinha. The movie is an action film. The action sequences are good but what is missing in this film is a proper story line. The story line is really stupid. The director, …
Ace Ventura, Pet Detective (movie)
Call me easily amused, but I sincerely think that Ace Ventura, Pet Detective is one of the most hillarious movies of all times. Jim Carey is just outstanding in this flick, and basically utilizes every funny bone in his body to put on a powerfully amusing movie. …
Maleficent (fantasy movie)
With all the hype, expectations and good reviews surrounding the movie Maleficent, I honestly thought that it was probably going to be a masterpiece that I would want to see. However, the only thing that prevented me from going to see it was that one of my coworkers saw it, …
The Blood of Fu Manchu movie
“The Castle of Fu Manchu” is one of Christopher Lee’s older movies. Like the other movie “The Castle of Fu Manchu”, most people I know either like this film or hate it. It never seems to be in between. Personally I think this one is not much better than …
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
I absolutely hated the original Cheaper by the Dozen movie and thought Hollywood was stupid coming out with another one. However, after seeing Cheaper By The Dozen 2, I’m willing to admit this is a rare case when the sequel is much better than the original.
The movie centers around …
Tamara movie
I ended up watching a movie I never heard of before last night. But, despite the fact it wasn’t well known, the film “Tamara” was actually an OK film.
The movie is a bit far fetched. Basically you have a girl who is picked on by her high school classmates …
Movie Back To You
Back To You with Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton.
This series has no special twists nor unique concepts, yet somehow Kelsey Grammer once again carries a show. From Cheers to Frasier and now Back To You, this actor spins his magic and endears himself to the …
American Beauty movie
The movie “American Beauty” is a great film that will definitely become an American classic. Millions of Americans have enjoyed the movie, but my experience with the film is unique.

Youth of the beast movie
This is an old Yakuza (japanese gangster movie) from the 1960s. Director Seijun Suzuki reveals a most violent movie for that age, which reminds a lot of John Woo movies from the 80s, so it’s clear where the inspiration came from. The cinematography is beautiful in color, the acting …

Yoga Hosers, horror comedy
I’m a fan of Kevin Smith’s work. I enjoyed the “View Askewniverse” movies as well as “Red State”. I’ve also enjoyed his podcast “Fatman on Batman”. I have yet to see “Tusk” but I was able to check out it’s sequel/spin-off “Yoga Hosers”.
The fact that this follows …

“Nine” the movie 2010
I rented the musical “Nine” because of it’s stars– in particular, Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz, two of my favorites. I had seen Kidman in Moulin Rouge so I knew she could pull off a musical. I was a bit disappointed in the film. Now I have to admit, …
Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ( Movie )

Shame (movie)
Ever since I’ve discovered his movies, the actor Michael Fassebender has become not one of my favourite, but one of the actors who I’ve found to be most interesting. I believe that this especially stemmed from when I saw him in X-Men Origns as a young Magneto. I was …
