Penelope (movie)
One of the first movies that I remember recognising the actor James McAvoy in was Penelope, which was released in 2006. He’s one of those actors whose movies I will always take a chance with , and that was one of the main reasons why I even decided to …
Dead Like Me: Haunted
Dead Like Me: Haunted was the final regular episode for this science fiction series about grim reapers. It was Halloween, and it was actually one of their better episodes.

2001: A Space Oddyssey (1968)
The film 2001: A Space Odyssey is a mind bending triumph of land mark cinematic filmmaking. Released in 1968, it was a box office hit, but was misunderstood by many critics as to what they were viewing. They had no idea they were viewing a celluloid epic creation which …

I have to say I was not looking forward to seeing this movie. In fact I made my daughter get The Simpson’s Movie because this movie had gotten really bad reviews. I really do not know what movie they watched. This movie was wonderful. It was like Willy …
The Great Global Warming Swindle
The Great Global Warming Swindle was the right’s answer to Al Gore’s famous and popular documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.” It goes against the grain of current thought on the warming of the earth and attacks some of the incorrect facts stated in Mr. Gore’s documentary.
Unlike Mr. Gore’s film, …
Shinobi
Shinobi is a japanese movie but depending on where you get it, it comes with english subs (in my case, thai and chinese were available also). Shinobi actually means ninja. It’s your typical movie of two ninja tribes going against each other but the boy and girl from different …
Happy Feet Movie
Australian Director’s Animated Comedy ‘Happy Feet’ can best be described as just a fun, somewhat funny, family comedy. Lets clear from the very beginning, that while this film did win the Best Animated Film Oscar, it is not exactly the most satisfying movie experience. There is not much in …
The Daybreakers (R, 2010)
I didn’t know exactly what to expect at first. I like vampire films and was quite anxious about this one. The Daybreakers is about a society in which vampires are the majority and humans are the minority. In fact, the government has begun to “farm” human …
Wayne’s World

Movie The love guru
This was an overall alright movie I thought. I just didn’t care for it all that much. I think it was the type of movie it was. I think it could have been a lot of better especially with the actors that were in it. Jessica Alba, Mike Myers …

Robocop 3 (1993)
The third installation of the Robocop saga continues with a new character playing Robocop, I guess that the original guy got totally fed up of the whole thing and decided that it was no longer in his best interest to continue playing the cyborg police officer. In this movie, …
Final Destination 3 movie
When I saw the previews for Final Destination 3, I remember thinking the producers were overkilling on an otherwise great franchise. When I watched the movie on DVD, I found I was right.
The plot of the movie seemed a bit forced and was confusing from the start. Beginning with …

Hidden Figures (2016 Biographical Drama Film)
Movies that emit contagious amount of goodness are rare these days, but this new Theodore Melfi-directed film is such a treat to the senses. It’s no denying that I applauded so many times in the duration of this movie.

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2
I myself am not a die-hard Twilight Fan but I have seen the movies and liked them for the most part. However, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 was not as good as I thought that it would be. I had expected the finale to be similar in grandeur to …
Turner & Hooch
Tom Hanks is one of the finest actors hollywood has ever seen. He proved it by winning two academy awards for his great performances. I recently watched his movie Turner and Hooch on DVD and found the movie very boring and just waste of money and also waste of …
Shakespeare in Love
I watched Shakespeare in Love on a whim, after seeing the trailer I thought it was a very well convincing trailer and that I should give it a watch. Well it exceeded all my expectations; I thought it would either be campy and cheesy, or dry and emotionally heavy. …
The Avengers movie
This is a the film version of a classic tv-series from the 1960s. Uma Thurman is a sexy british agent and Ralph Fiennes her partner. Sean Connery is the villain who threatens to destroy the whole world with some kind of weather machine. I haven’t seen the tv-series myself, …
Angel In the Outfield (1996)

The Patriot (2000 movie)
There is no way, no way on the green earth that you cannot love this movie. It has all the makings of true blockbuster and collected item movie. It has action, boy does it have action. It has drama that will bring tears to your eyes (bawling even). It’s …
Urban Legend
Urban Legend is one of the few horror movies that I can watch again and again, no matter how many times I have seen it. It almost feels like the writers and producers wanted to make a movie that appeals to horror movie fans. I love watching it just …
Cinemark Theatres
I enjoy going to our local movie theater every once in awhile just because the big screen itself cannot be compared to watching certain movies at home on the TV. There are some movies that I do not care for and will choose to wait until it comes out …

Fight Club: Movie
Fight Club is a brilliant movie; I found its portrayal of a psychologically disturbed human being very interesting.
The storyline in itself is quite good, but you’re never quite sure of where it is going until a major twist is revealed towards the end. But even with this lack of …

Pretty in Pink (1986 film)
The 1986 film “Pretty in Pink” is one of my all time favorite films! Nothing can beat a story of romance, friendship, and the social hardships that come with surviving high school. This movie reaches out to so many people of all ages, and it was difficult for me …
The Interview - (2014) Movie

This has got to be my new favorite dance movie of all times! My favorites movies before had been combined of Stomp the Yard and You Got Served, and the other movies that had tried to emulate them had failed, except for this one! This movie is a combination …
Half a dozen babies
This was an alright movie overall. I found it to be a little funny if anything. I didn’t really care for it all that much. It’s kind of a chick movie. It’s about this couple that want to have babies and they can’t seem to get pregnant, well they …
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone movie
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is one of the series of J.K. Rowling’s 7 series of Harry Potter Saga. Each and every one of them is the world’s best movie ever. I love The Philosopher’s Stone and all of her other movie. You can’t deny that it’s great …
The River Wild
Most movies that star Kevin Bacon have him as a lovable person. The River Wild is one of those movies that’s a bit different because it turns the guy who usually plays a hero into the villain and the contrast works.
The thing I like about The River Wild is …
Moulin Rouge (Movie)
Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it a lot of times and have never failed to enjoy and feel emotional during the movie. What I like about it most are the songs. The first time I watched it, I was pleasantly …
