Big Eyes (biographical drama movie)
The movie “Big Eyes” was something that I’d been looking forward to seeing for a very long time, partly because it was done by one of my favourite directors, Tim Burton. I also became interested in seeing it because of the brief synopsis I’d heard about the plot. After watching …
Paul - Unrated (2011) - Movie
Oh, how I wanted to like this movie! It’s got an impressive cast, including Simon Pegg, Kristin Wiig, Jane Lynch, Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Bateman, even a cameo by Steven Spielberg! Casting Seth Rogen as the wise-cracking alien wasn’t my problem though. I felt that this was …
No Reservations (2007 Romance Drama Movie)
It literally took me years to decide I was going to watch the movie “No Reservations’. This was because I thought that I wouldn’t love it even though one of my favourite actresses, Catherine Zeta-Jones was playing one of the leads. This was because I had seen it being aired …

Twister

Silent Hill (R-2006)- movie
As usual, I got sucked into seeing this movie since I’m such a huge fan of horror. The trailers looked intriguing (as they always do). But upon reading about this movie, I realized that it is based off of a video game. This could have made …
The Empire Strikes Back movie
As I said in my Star Wars review, I’ve only seen the original three movies and I loved them. They made a complete package for me. In my heart, I think of this movie as The Empire Strikes Back and not as Star Wars: Episode V - …
Avatar: Movie
I thought Avatar was a fantastic film, fully meeting my expectations and then some with its brilliantly produced content.
It is the films special effects that have been praised more than anything, and I have to agree with the general consensus when I say that James Cameron has done a …
Rec 2 Movie
This movie was better than the first one. There were downsides to it however. For instance, the camera shots were for the most part unoriginal. Could you do better than having a bloodied zombie-faced possessed person grab the camera and make faces? The blocking was …
Space Jam Movie
Here we go again, another movie starring basketball players trying to be actors…why don’t they just stick to what the do best, cause acting is not one of them. The enjoyment came from the animated charactes that gave the movie some glimmer of hope, but, not much. The theme …
Misery
Misery is a movie I will never forget, and that will always scare me. The funny thing about this movie is that it is not about a demon monster, or evil ghosts. It’s not about vampires or aliens either. No the villian in this movie is a woman. But not …

Belle (historical drama movie)
I love watching historical movies, and that is why I was so eager to see “Belle” after I had seen the trailer only months before it was released. What piqued my interest about it even more was that it was supposed to be based on the story revolving around a …

Spiderman 3
I went into this movie expecting it to be busy. It was, but not at first. It started off very slowly, reintroducing the main characters and situations already familiar to us from the first two movies. But, with the preliminaries out of the way, things got rockin’, starting, I …
Anatomy Movie
Anatomy is one of those horror movies that I really love. It isn’t too graphic, it doesn’t use a lot of harsh language, but it still manages to scare you in ways that other movies can’t. I think part of it is because the movie was made in Germany …
American Pie: Book of Love Movie
I like American Pie movies, but so far this is the most low-budget and low-cost American Pie movie I have ever seen. All of the characters are not famous and there isn’t one original character that was shown here unlike the first American Pie movie, but I still watched …
Movie P.S. I Love You (2007)
