Transporter 2
What little characterization from the first movie is tossed aside as Frank…whatever his last name was is now in Miami acting as chauffeur for a politician and his family. It’s clearly a temp job, but he does get along well enough with the kid, testing the boy’s intellect …
We’re No Angels (movie)
For a comedy film, the movie We�re No Angels really doesn�t produce many laughs.
Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn put in a valiant effort, but the weak script and the even weaker concept really doesn�t work. You can only make so many jokes at the expense of the church …

Lindsey Lohan’s Just My Luck
I watched this movie and will admit that it took a little while for me to start liking it at all. I thought that it was a little frivolous at first ,and all the way through as a matter of fact. Lindsey Lohan is an okay actress, but certainly …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
I love the first National Treasure movie. So, when they came out with the sequel, Book of Secrets, I couldn’t wait to see it.
Unfortunately, even though I did enjoy the film, I felt it fell well short of the original.
Book of Secrets relies on two things; first, there is …

Domino movie (2005)
(Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke)
Heads you live. Tails you die. And this movie definitely lives! This “story” about the first female bounty hunter, Domino (Knightley) is a full tilt, off the chart super pumped extravaganza of action, chaos, and mayhem. The high-octane, deliriously shot scenes do …

Movie My Life in Ruins
I was lucky enough to see a screening of the movie My Life in Ruins, but I think I had to considering it was a romantic comedy and I’m a huge fan of romantic comedies. It was pretty much what I expected it to be, though I still enjoyed …
Bewitched (2005 movie)
The single most dullest movie i’ve seen this year…It’s a complete flop. Some TV series are better off not being made into movies, and the cast was all wrong, so, so wrong. Not only is this film a bore but it’s also annoying (what’s with the blondes jumping up …
50 First Dates
I’m not a big fan of Adam Sandler but I like Drew Barrymore that’s why I saw the movie 50 First Dates. I didn’t expect that I would like the movie because I never liked Adam Sandler’s style of comedy. I think he’s corny. But surprisingly I liked it …

Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Sweeny Todd was such a great movie! I saw it at the Prescreening. It was a very dark and very musical and funny film all at once! I think Johnny Depp did a great job of playing the part of Sweeny Todd. I also think everyone else did a great …

In 1969, David Janssen, Kim Darby, and Pete Duel starred in Generation, a movie that truly is about the generation gap. Janssen is businessman Jim Bolton, who is stunned when his daughter, Doris (Darby), marries Walter Owen (Duel). Worse, she’s pregnant. Worse than that for Jim …
The Forth Kind film
I went to see this film with a bunch of my friends. We had seen the advert and thought it looked quite good.

Premonition
I can’t help comparing Premonition to another Sandra Bullock’s movie, also a recent one, called The Lake House. Both movies have a fantastic twist to them, dealing with different timelines. Both need to be watched very closely in order not to have the two timelines confused. In both movies, …
The Long Weekend
The Long Weekend is an underrated movie that not many people would know about. I’m not sure when the movie was set, but there are just lots of DVDs lying around my home, brought my siblings or my parents, rented, bought; you name it, there are just a whole …

In Her Shoes (2005 movie)
This is yet another movie where you must ask the question of “What were they thinking?”. This movie is sleep, snore, drool…boring. It is supposed to be a Comedy/Drama, but I am yet to see where the comedy is or has gone. I’ve come to expect so much better …
Inkheart (the movie)
I just watched Inkheart and totally loved it! Based on the book Inkheart by Cornelia Funke–which by the way, I didn’t read– although, now after seeing the movie I want to read the book.
The whole premise of the movie is about this man and his daughter who both …

Shaolin Soccer movie
I’m not really much of a sports movie fan. I don’t really like “Remember the Titans”. I didn’t even watch “Invincible”. I was never interested in watching “Rudy”. The only sports movie I really really loved was “D2: The Mighty Ducks”. Then along came “Shaolin Soccer”. This comedic masterpiece …
Catch Me if You Can Movie (20020)

Anyway, we went on a Wednesday night, like going during the middle …
Peter Pan movie
The classic fairytale by Barry in a new version. The most famous films on the story would be Disney’s classic animation and Spielberg’s Hook. This new version follows the same path as those two films and doesn’t really break any new ground, not even visually. For those of us …

The Bridge To Terabithia
First of all, I liked this movie. It is not just a typical children’s movie because it really touched my heart. I think there are so many lessons that can be learned from this movie like improving self-confidence, importance of friendship, and believing in talents. The actors are all …
Shoot ‘Em Up
Shoot ‘Em Up is the latest action flick starring Clive Owen and the beautiful Monica Bellucci. This movie is pure cinematic entertainment; if you’re looking for a complex plot or a realistic action flick, this is not it. Instead, Shoot ‘Em Up delivers over-the-top gun battles and fights that …

In Her Majesty’s Secret Service movie
In Her Majesty’s Secret Service was different to the preceding films of the series. It was a disappointment to many, but is in my opinion better than You Only Live Twice for example and certainly one of the most underrated. Sean Connery chose not to appear in this film …
