Movies Reviews
Movie Leon
In Leon (The Professional), the movie, is the first time that I ever saw Natalie Portman in a movie, and she was pretty young back then. Being young did not seem to faze this great actress, however, as she played the part of Mathilda beautifully. Not only does …
D.E.B.S (2004)
Chick flick alert! This movie is centered around for basically cheerleading girls who, through a secret test in their school passed to become a group of spies. The test itself is designed to test the candidates’ abilities to fight, lie, cheat and kill. Needless to say, these four passed …
Marley & Me Movie 2008
I adored this film - Marley and Me - but I suspect that has a lot to do with the fact that I do love dogs. Marley is a Labrador owned by John and Jennifer (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) and the movie covers their life with Marley …
The Smoking Room movie
This show follows a group of smokers from a run of the mill office building in London. Each episode is shown in real time, the thirty minutes we see told continuously. The action never veers away from the smoking room itself, instead characters come and go.
It’s a simple …
The Lord Of The Rings movies
So after reading the books as many times as I have, of course I HAD to see the movies in theatres when they were released. Of course, I now own them all :D. The movies had amazing special effects, and excellent casting and costume staff. Each part was played …
CHICKEN LITTLE DVD
My grandson just HAD to see Chicken Little on DVD. We rented it for him, but the entire family enjoyed this DVD immensely! Yes, it does start with the acorn hitting Chicken Little on the head, and he ran to the tower to ring the alarm bell for emergencies …
Movie The Return of Jafaar
The Return of Jafar is the second movie in a trilogy about this young man named Aladdin. After releasing t he Genie from his lamp and defeating Jafar, Aladdin tries to settle down and start his life with Jasmine. To cramp a cramp in his dreams and …
Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
OK, I’ll admit it. When Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle came out, I figured it was going to be a very stupid movie and didn’t take the time to watch it.
But, last night, on a hunch, I gave it a try. And, I have to say I …
Red (2010 movie)
Red is an 2010 action, comedy and crime movie starring one of my favourite actors Morgan Freeman. The movie was directed by Robert Schwentke. I am not a fan of action and crime movies, but I truly love the combination of action and crime with comedy. I watched the …
Miss Potter
Miss Potter is funny and nice. The movie stars Renee Zellweger and I love the way she speaks with a British accent! It’s so cute and funny and at the same time, understandable. She played the character of Beatrix Potter, so obviously she’s the Miss Potter there.
Ewan …

Drive (2011 film)
Okay, recently there has been a difference of opinion about this film boiling away between various groups of my friends, so I have decided to write a little about it and explain what I like about it, and why I think you should too (And perhaps some stuff about …
Angel’s Fall film
I am reviewing the Nora Roberts film, Angel’s Fall. So there’s this woman. She used to work in this restaurant cooking. One night a shooter entered the place and shot all of her co-workers, including her best friend. She was the only one left alive. Ever since then, this …
Sex Tape (comedy movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Sex Tape for the very first time, I knew almost immediately that it wasn’t going to be very good. Nevertheless, I was still interested in the premise surrounding the film, which was the idea of a married couple accidentally releasing a Sex …
Zathura
Jon Favreau, the director of Elf, couldn’t have outdone himself; Elf was simply too adorable. That siad, Zathura, his most recent children’s story, was much better than I anticipated. The special effects were a little chessy, particularly the malfunctioning robot and the entrance of the stranded astronaut. The child …
The Final movie 2010
The Final was a film I rented from Netflix and I chose it because someone had recommended it to me. When I read the description I was not terribly impressed and I did not expect it to be anything original or unique. Films in the genre tend …
Deja Vu (movie)
When I read the description of Denzel Washington’s movie, Dejavu, I thought it sounded interesting. And, after watching it, I have to say it was even better than expected.
Washington plays an investigator for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms who is brought in to investigate the explosion of …

“Cigarette Burns” is a short film by John Carpenter created for the Showtime series “Masters of Horror.” The movie stars Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead, Boondock Saints) as Kirby, a small theater owner with money problems, who is paid to track down a rare horror film that has …
The Breakup Artist (2009 Film)
The romance comedy that was first on TV in the year 2009 called “The Breakup Artist” may not be considered one to go down in history, it is a very cute and adorably funny film that can really be entertaining. With the great group of actors and actresses that …
Life Support (NR, 2006) movie
I will admit that I was a little apprehensive about seeing this movie. At first I didn’t realize that Nelson George developed this film which was based on his sister’s battle with being diagnosed as HIV-positive. Starring Queen Latifah in the lead role, I …
Blackbeard’s Ghost DVD
Disney is the bible to family movies, and I love just about all of them. One of my favorite live-action Disney films is “Blackbeard’s Ghost” starring Peter Ustinov, Dean Jones, and Suzanne Pleshette.
I actually remember seeing this movie at the drive-in with my parents when I was a …
Baby Einstein DVD’s
My children, as babies, have absolutely thoroughly enjoyed the Baby Einstein DVD’s. They are usually sold at Babies R Us, Borders Books and Music, BJ’s, and Costco, as well as other common stores. This series of learning DVD’s allows your baby to not only enjoy the sounds …
Save the Last Dance
I don’t see much interracial romantic movies so when this movie came out, I decided to watch it. Plus the fact that it stars Julia Stiles who I like so much because of the movie 10 Things I Hate About You (with Heath Ledger). Directed by Thomas Carter, Save …
The Wedding Singer
“The Wedding Singer” is definitely one of the movies mostly related to Adam Sandler. Personally I was very much looked forward to watch this movie after I saw the trailer, however in the end it failed to reach my expectations. I expected a funnier Adam Sandler like in the …
Honey movie starred by Jessica Alba
I recently watched this movie on a DVD player at home. In my opinion I think the movie is quite sexy especially on that part where Jessica Alba was seen dancing on the disco floor in which she was secretly taken a video by some teenage guys while …
Hellboy 2 (R, 2008)
I typically do not like these types of films where the hero is grotesque, but has these sensitive powers. I was intrigued by the Hellboy concept, but never bothered to watch the first one. I have been told that it is probably a good thing as …
Movie: Curious George
A couple years ago, when my oldest daughter was just two or three, the film Curious George came out on DVD and I remember her loving it so much, she watched it several times in one week.
Our youngest daughter is starting to get interested in TV and movies now …
Live Free Or Die Hard
A lot can be said about the movie Live Free Or Die Hard. First of all, if you are a fan for action flick Bruce Willis, chances are you will enjoy this show. The other fact is if you are not a Bruce Willis fan, but a …

American History X (drama movie)
The 1998 movie American History X is on my list of some of my favourite dramas to date, because of what it was about and the way that the story was presented. I know I’m not alone in this respect since it was given a high rating on sites like …
The Dark Knight
I absolutely enjoyed The Dark Knight. I went to the movie thinking that this was just going to be another action packed movie that was ripped from the pages of a comic book, but boy was I wrong. I like the character change they made for Alfred because he …
The Heartbreak Kid
I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …
“127 hours” movie
Nowadays, at a time when directors molest us with technical fireworks, and writers write such spins that are so twisted that in the head turns, the movie “127 hours” is a gem. History of simple, painful and true like a biblical parable. Danny Boyle once again showed class.
What does this …
Notorious movie
I remember only vaguely the so-called hip-hop wars between the East Coast and the West Coast rap artists in the 1980s and early 1990s, because I listened to only some of the music. I do remember the violence between the two groups, and the gang war that resulted in …
Canvas The movie
Canvas for the room is crowded and during the screening the young audience is exalted, participate and applauded, which makes it somewhat ‘more alive is interesting.
The story is that of a child thinking that far in Florida is forced to live with the odd behavior of the mother suffers …
Bee Season
After embracing Buddhism, the actor Richard Gere is getting very attentive which movies to be involved in. In all honestly, I am not surprised that he chose to particate in “Bee Season”. The biggest surprise was that this is not a Gere or Juliet Binochet movie, but solely a …
Wall-E
I took my family to see Wall-E. We all loved it the robots are so likable and cute. My 5 year old daughter squeals every time she hears the name Wall-E. I had to laugh when I saw the predicted future and I really think it will be like …
Employee of the Month
I saw previews for Employee of the Month a few months ago but never made an effort to rent it. It just didn’t look that good.
But, when it became available on Showtime, I decided to at least give it a chance. I wasn’t disappointed.
Like most movies that take place …
Half Caste (movie)
This is without doubt one of the dullest and boring movies I have ever seen. Watching this film unfold on your TV will put you to sleep. Worst, it’s supposed to be a horror movie! Horror movies as you very well know should be filled with suspense, scary moments …
American Visa (movie)
As I have mentioned in several of my previous reviews, I like to watch a good foreign film once in a while and when my friends and I were discussing foreign films and she gave me a summary of a film “American Visa”, that she had watched, I became …
Seven Pounds Movie
When asked Will Smith on what this story was all about, he said he couldn’t really tell as the narration would give away the story itself! I was really curiuos and knowing Will to be a very good actor, I watched this in anticipation.
I honestly didn’t get the …
The Tower of London
The Tower of London with Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, and Vincent Price.
When I saw the list of this all star cast, I felt compelled to make this a must see film. Especially since I have always enjoyed watching Vincent Price ply his trade. …
Eight Mile movie
Before watching this movie I really did not have too much background on rap nor did it really strike me as something that is hard to do-just a bunch of aimless words being spoken with a beat. Featuring Eminem, this movie is about his story and how he made …
Wrong Turn
Last night wasn’t the first time I’ve watched the movie Wrong Turn. In fact, I can’t remember for sure, but I might even have written a review about it. But, I just have to say, every time I watch that film, I can�t get over how stupid it is.
Here …
3:10 to Yuma
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, 3:10 to Yuma, starring Russel Crowe and Christian Bale. Crowe plays Arizona outlaw Benjamin Wade, a no nonsense, dangerous criminal. While dangerous, the man is also charming and likable. Then we meet Dan Evans, played by Christian Bale. He’s a family man, dedicated, …
Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist
What I liked most about Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist is one of the scenes at the end. Barbara Barrie appears again as Joy’s mother. The two don’t get along very well, but yet at the end, they share a calm moment. The really good …
