Possession by Gwyneth Paltrow
I love book to movie adaptations. That’s because, there is a certain kind of creativity that I can get whenever that happens. Watching Possession by Gwyneth Paltrow, I have a very fun time watching the performance acting by Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart. In this movie, both …

Beethoven - The Pooch Pack (DVD 2006)
All five movies it says on the box, well as this box set was released in 2006, this is no longer quite true because to my knowledge there is at least one more Beethoven movie to date.
Having said that Beethoven movies are really good fun and easy viewing for …

Movie: Castle of the Walking Dead
A few days ago, I was looking at new movies available for watch on our Netflix Instant Watch service and came across an older movie called Castle of the Walking Dead.
I had never heard of this movie before. But, it had Christopher Lee in it and sounded somewhat interesting …
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004 Film)
After watching this 2004 comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”, starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Christina Applegate and more dynamite caste members I will forever remember the name Ron Burgundy. There’s something about the sexist lines, the mix of actors, and the infatuation of nearly everyone on the …
Only Lovers Left Alive (movie)
As I mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of the actor Tom Hiddleston, not just because of his acting, but because I think he’s just downright handsome and charming. I remember that a little after the “Avengers” movie I began to wonder what other future projects he might have, …
Film Gremlins
When Gremlins was first released, I was not allowed to see it being too young. My older sister and her best friend were taken to the theater to see the film while I stayed with my Grandfather. I remember that I got a teddy bear in compensation.
I also will …

The 5th Wave (2016 Science Fiction Thriller Movie)
I spent a long time wondering what happened to the actor Tobey Maguire since I didn’t see him in any movies or TV series in a long time. Therefore, when I heard that he was producing a movie The 5th Wave I was eager to see it. I became even …
Gladiator: Anatomy of a Prison Murder (R, 2002)
This movie was a bit more brutal than I imagined it would be. I am a huge fan of horror movies, the gorier the better. And I even like films that depict some of the rather disturbing crimes occurring in recent years. However, this …
Dark Knight Rises movie
And so it ends, the “greatest superhero trilogy of all time”(TM). In 2005, Nolan introduced us to his very tormented take on Batman, the focus being on Bruce Wayne and - the trilogy’s overarching theme - fear. Then, in 2008, he upped the stakes with the epic Dark Knight, …
A Clockwork Orange movie
Written by Anthony Burgess in 1962, the film came out in 1971 and was directed by the late Stanley Kubrick, my personal favorite. With stunning visuals shot from all angles, Kubrick managed to take this story to a higher level. The book and the movie, however, have entirely different endings.
I …
An American Carol
This is without doubt one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! I admit when I checked it out I had never heard of it before, but I saw it stared Leslie Nielsen and I had always found him very funny in the “Naked Gun” movies. The DVD box …

Crazy Heart (Movie)
Any movies that receive Academy Award nominations tend to increase my expectations on what to expect when I finally do see them (I usually wait until they come out on DVD, rather than go to a theatre). So Crazy Heart was right up there with the other Best Picture …
Road Show movie
Road Show was a 1941 movie musical that starred Adolphe Menjou, who was one of the mainstays in motion pictures in this era. He was just everywhere. In this picture, he portrays Colonel Carleton Carroway.
The movie also starred Carole Landis as, get this, Penguin Moore. She …
Jawbreaker (1999) Movie
One of my favorite movies when I was younger was Jawbreaker. This movie shows a typical mean-girls’ group who went to great lengths to play a prank on their good friend. This came out in 1999 when I was still in college, so watching this with girlfriends was …
Fools Rush In (1997)
Fools Rush In, directed by Andy Tennant is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sensuality and brief language. The original release date was February 14, 1997 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Drama/Romance and stars Matthew Perry as Alex Whitman …
Definately Maybe movie
I watched this movie a couple of days ago. It was better than I thought it was going to be. For people who like love movies and like these types of movies I think they will like it. Honestly for me I thought it could have been a lot …
Movie: From Prada to Nada
I first saw this title on my T.V. guide as I was scrolling to search for programs to record on my Rogers PVR.
From Prada to Nada sounded like a catchy name for a film and it caught my attention when I looked at the info on the movie. …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003 Movie)
Kate Hudson is one of my favourite actresses and in this movie she appears to be a fresh face. Toggling between a hard core professional who would go to any extent to get her work done to a flirtatious girly girl who likes being pampered, she has done a …
The Interpreter
I am reviewing the movie, The Interpreter, which was released in 2005. This movie stars Academy Award winners Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn. Kidman plays Silvia Broome, a translator at the UN. Her life is immediately put in danger when she accidently overhears men talking about a planned …
A Beautiful Mind (drama movie)
I’ve always heard good things about the movie “A Beautiful Mind” over the years, but I never actually got a chance to see it until recently. My expectations were very high before seeing it, and to be completely honest there was nothing about it that I wasn’t satisfied with. I …
A Wrinkle In Time Movie
I was fairly young when I first picked up the book “A Wrinkle in Time” — but to his day, very few novels (with the ultimate exception of the Harry Potter series) have managed to match it.
The book is one of high adventure and heavy imagination — and, as …
24 Redemption
Starring: Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bauer), Robert Carlyle (Carl Benton), Cherry Jones (President Elect Allison Taylor), Jon Voight (Jonas Hodges), Powers Boothe (President Noah Daniels)
It was a poignant story of heroes and traitors Carl Benton sacrificing his life so that 14 children could arrive safely in US, …
40 days and 40 nights
This movie was entertaining but that is about it. If you are bored one night and enjoy movies like this then I would recommend it. This movie isn’t for everyone though. Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon play in it. Josh Hartnett plays Matt Sullivan who decides to vow to …

Old School the movie
I sat down with my mother, we were having a girls movie night. This girls night movie theme was comedy. Will Ferrel is always at the top of my list for comedy movies. He did not let me down on this one at all. I laughed during almost the …
Ordinary People movie
I am reviewing the movie, Ordinary People. Timothy Hutton, Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, and Judd Hirsch star in this fantastic movie about the hardships of life.
After losing a son to a boating accident, Beth and Cal Jarett don’t know how to handle their son that did survive …
Apartment 1303
I am a fan of Asian horror movies. I purchased this DVD movie “Apartment 1303″, a Japanese horror, because I was attracted to its title and also the cover. The cover is pictured with one creepy red eye on the right side, and a door numbered 1303 on the …

The movie opens as the first …
Nora
I watched this film last night, never even having heard of it before. It was made in 1999 and stars a very young looking Ewen McGregor and Susan Lynch. The film tells the story of the stormy relationship between the Irish writer James Joyce and his wife Nora, who …
Movie Vanished
I have remembered this movie, Vanished, since I first saw it, but it’s been quite a while. I can’t find it anywhere, and it’s never on TV. It’s really frustrating, but it was so good to watch. The plot intrigued me, and it’s stayed with me …
My Fellow Americans
About the only thing I don’t like about My Fellow Americans from 1996 is the language. There’s a bit too much profanity in it for my taste, and I honestly don’t think it’s necessary to further the characters or the plot. So, with that one negative remark, …
Ocean’s Twelve
I am a big fan of all of the Ocean’s movies. That being said I believe that Ocean’s Twelve is the weakest of the three. First, the good things. The acting once again is amazing. The movie features tons of stars and they do not …
Jurassic Park Movie
I had watched this movie when I was in my fourth standard. It has fascinated me ever since. It was the movie that introduced me to dinosaurs. Jurassic Park is a movie by Stephen Spielberg. He in this movie has implemented what Micheal Crichton had envisaged in his book …

Have no fear , Internet Movie Database is here! It’s the ultimate movie database, it contains everything, …
Borderland (UR, 2007) movie
I thought I had seen just about all the slasher films that were going to be good in 2008. I will confess that the 8 Films to Die For series has left me cold on a few occasions. However this film had me intrigued from the very …
Back To The Future
I love it, and its as entertaining now as it was when it was made in 1985 Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd excel in this film which sends them back to the past where they get stuck and need to find a way, well - back to …
Ice Princess
Some people do have talent but they don’t have the means. Others do have the means but they simply don’t have talent. This is the main storyline of “The Ice Princess” featuring the actress, Michelle Trachtenberg of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame in her on screen main role as …
MJR Marketplace Theater in Sterling Heights Michigan
I recently discovered a better movie theater to take my family to, the MJR Marketplace Cinemas in Sterling Heights. It was built on the same location as the old National Amusements Showcase Cinemas which was torn down a few years ago.
The layout of the theater is excellent, the flow …
Bad Teacher 2011 Movie
I just saw the movie Bad Teacher. In IMDB it only had 5.9 stars, so I wasn’t looking forward to really watching it because of the not-so-good reviews. It stars Cameron Diaz as the Bad Teacher, Elizabeth Halsey, with her co-star Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake. Bad Teacher is …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)
With the previous entry in the series (Dead Man’s Chest) boasting a controversial cliffhanger of an ending, fans who saw Dead Man’s Chest were no doubt clamoring for the epic finale to the trilogy after walking out of the theater one year ago. Indeed, for me it was a …
Movie The Pursuit of Happiness
When I first saw previews to the Pursuit of Happiness, I figured it was going to be a tear jerker but would ultimately be a boring film. I’m glad to say I was wrong.
Will Smith has attempted to do inspirational films before and has failed. He struck gold in …
Saw V
Saw V is the second movie in the series where James Wan had nothing to do with, this time they got a new director, David Hackl. The movie was released around Halloween again, a year after the last. While not as pathetic as Saw IV this film is pathetic, …
