I really enjoy watching Mark Wahlberg’s movies because he manages to come up with a different and exciting project every time. I must also admit that —˜Max Payne’ failed to impress me because it is not the kind of project one can link with this actor. It seems that …

Just from reading the synopsis on Netflix, Ice Twisters looked as if it was going to be a lower budget copy-cat disaster movie with a weather theme. That’s exactly what it was. But, to be fair, it was enjoyable, more so than I would have expected. When the film …

When Steve Martin re-did the Pink Panther movie, I thought his performance was actually better than the original. But, that wasn’t the only movie I can say that about.
When I was younger, I remember watching re-runs of the Phil Silvers Show and his character Sgt. Bilko. In the movie …

I think that just about everyone remembers Sky Kids and Sky Kids 2. It seemed to be really popular for awhile and then just died out. It as not long after Spy Kids 2 came out that the previews for Shark Boy and Lava Girl came out.
Let me …

I used to be a great lover of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, as a child, so it wasn’t so much of a stretch for me to think that I might also have enjoyed this film. The whole idea behind the film is that three boys, who are brothers, …

I’ve always said there are many under-rated actors in Hollywood, and Fargo has two of them. William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi have helped many movies succeed with their performances, without the accolades of their peers. This movie is no exception. Both actors made this movie successful.
Macy is a …

I’m certainly one of those morons who grew up wathing the first Star Wars movies on vhs and adored them. Recently I watched the latest (and last) movie on dvd (yes, I saw it in the theatre too) and I feel ready to state my opinion on it now. …

British dramas aren’t the easiest for me to watch. I’ve tried off and on, but they have their cultural slant that this American reviewer often just doesn’t get. The biggest thing for me is still trying to understand the lingo and sometimes just the spoken words. …

Well Keanu Reeves is back again and I have to say he seems exactly the same. His acting skills being minimal but I try to get past that to watch the movie. The story for me was really complicated so I am just going to try and lay out …

The movie “Untraceable” has a plot that begins with a group of detectives from a cyber-crimes division in attempt to limit crimes committed and/or about to be committed with the use and aid of the internet. Diane Lane is the main character detective whose story we follow during the …

Letters to Juliet, a 2010 movie release, was surprisingly enchanting and entertaining. I really enjoyed it. There were moments where it slowed down a bit too much for me, and in reality, I think it could have been about ten to fifteen minutes shorter and been a …

This is another movie that was taken from a video game of the same name about a detective who is self involved in his work at hunting down to person or people involved in the death of his wife and child. But unlike the video game, this movie falls …

“The Italian job” is one of my all time favourites film. I think I must have watched this movie at least 5 times and I still keep watching from time to time. Although it is a remake of an older version released in 1969, this action movie has got …

In 1946, the motion picture People Are Funny was released. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it went on to become a successful TV show. In fact, that host, Art Linkletter, appears as himself in the movie.
In a sense, the movie provides a background for the …

I was surprised that the movie, The Strangers (2008) make the cut. I thought it was going to be another cheap flick or something, but it turned out that the story is real good. Masked strangers invaded the lives of Kristen McKay acted by Liv Tyler and …

Bright Star is a 2009 British film made by the BBC, telling the story of the romantic poet John Keats’ love affair with Fanny Brawne. This is a costume drama of they type that the BBC make so well, with great attention to period detail, especially the costumes in …

“The Whole Nine Yards” is all out the acting abilities of Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis and Rosanna Arquette. It is truly unbelievable that Perry was very scared to interpret Nicholas Oseransky in the this movie due to the fact that he was very intimidated by Willis and didn’t know …

The Last Airbender is a movie I would not pay for to see again. However, that doesn’t mean it was necessarily a bad movie. The effects were dead on, the casting was great, and the accuracy to the cartoon wasn’t bad either.
However, it was not long enough, and …

Zoom is a superhero movie for teens. It’s a kid movie. The cast include Tim Allen, Courtney Cox, Chevy Chase, Rip Torn, Kevin Zegers, Ryan Newman, Michael Cassidy, and kate Mara. This is a movie about how superhero has to save the world from a man name Concussion who …

There wasn’t much on TV this past weekend so my wife and I ended up watching a movie that we found on TV; Deadly Honeymoon.
This was a made-for-TV movie from Lifetime I think and I really wasn’t expecting it to be any good. But, after watching it, I do …

Some movies, you just can’t get out of your head. They leave such a permanent impression in your mind and constantly make you think about the way life is, the way it could be, and the way it may end up. The movie “A Walk to Remember” did …

With the Parent Trap III movie bringing in good ratings for the Walt Disney company, another movie was done the same year called Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon. With Susan now married to Jeffrey Wyatt, the family travels together to Hawaii for the honeymoon. Strange, odd even, but …

I haved loved past street dance movies like You Got Served and Stomp the Yard, so when I saw this particular one showing in the movies already, I decided to watch it. The movie itself is called Street Dance 3D but here there wasn’t a movie house that played …

I was expecting something a little bit more “comprehensive” and less “jumpy.” I got that Melvin Van Peebles wanted to make a film that would address some of the ills affecting the black community following civil rights. But his choice in using a sex performer named …

The movie “Before Sunrise” is an excellent example that you don’t need to do a lot of stunts or spend a lot of money to make a great movie. This movie shows that a simple and straight forward story with two great actors and good filming crew can do …

The new remake of the classic movie The Karate Kid is not a disappointment. I watched the original before going to the theatre, and I still found it to be a great retelling.
There are many classic movies that cannot be remade- if Star Wars, for example, were remade, there …

Today I went to see Iron Man. What an excellent film.
This is the first of all the Marvel films that I feel like really had it all. A good plot, story line, special effects, cast of characters and really solid acting.
It’s rare to find this combination in a film …

I love revenge movies. They appeal to our baser instincts and when they’re done well they strike us at our emotional core. John Wick is a superb revenge flick that oozes style and menace.
From the outset this film makes its intentions very clear. It is light on dialogue and …

We recently bought the movie Countess Dracula on the budget rack of our local department store. It was one of those movies you could buy really cheap and even have a second feature at the same time. For that reason, we didn’t think it was going to be any …

I know many people love this movie. Even the grade school pupils adore this. But please count me out. This movie I think has overdone it’s attempt to illustrate something in a deeper sense to the point it appeared obscure.
Because of the way the …

I thought the Kick Ass was just an ordinary comedy action movie. It stars a new kid named Aaron Johnson (Dave Lizerwski) as a high school student who wanted to be a super hero. He is a kid with a high motivation in becoming a superhero to make a …

I am not a fan of romance films, but I would still recommend the movie “A Walk in the Clouds” to anyone who loves watching a good romance film. Nevertheless, I think that like most other romance films which I have seen, the plot of the movie is lacking …

Cowboy Bebop is a legend that spawns new legends from within itself. The first episode is no exception but is a delight to read. For those not familiar with the series, Cowboy Bebop puts the title of the music style right on the cover, in this case, Asteroid Blues. …

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed watching ‘Meet the Fockers’ when it came out on DVD. I personally feel it was much better than the prequel, ‘Meet the Parents.’ It was nice to see Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman play …

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.

Wanted is an action film that is based on a comic book miniseries by Mark Millar. The film is directed by Timur Bekmambetov and features two of my favorite stars Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie.
Spoiler ahead, beware.
It is an action packed film about a guy(Wesley Allan Gibson) who …

America’s Sweethearts is one of those movies that has a star-studded cast, with promises of comedy and entertainment. It didn’t even deliver part of that promise. The movie was released in 2001. The film immediately gave me the feeling that I was watching a soap-opera made into a movie. …

Madagascar was a movie that I could not wait to see. The trailers looked hilarious and it seemed to have good animation. I, as usual, waited for the movie to be available for rent before I saw it. I was really glad that I did not go and …

When I first saw Dark Man, I thought it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. After watching it a second time, I still think it\’s good, but have a less favorable impression of it.
