Destroying Angel movie
I am reviewing the movie, Destroying Angel, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles. This movie was made in 2001, was produced by Brian True-May, and was based off the novels of author Caroline Graham.
In this film, poison is the key. When a local man is found murdered in the …
The Whole Nine Yards
“The Whole Nine Yards” is all out the acting abilities of Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis and Rosanna Arquette. It is truly unbelievable that Perry was very scared to interpret Nicholas Oseransky in the this movie due to the fact that he was very intimidated by Willis and didn’t know …
Braveheart film
When we think about the Middle Ages what strikes us is a lot of savagery, pain and torture but above them all the notion of heroism, which taken that manages to deal with all the challenges previously enlisted stands out more than anything we can …
Chances Are movie
Chances Are is a clever; engaging movie. It originates from the same movie pool of other movies involving rebirth of the soul; in a new physique. It demonstrates clearly the fact that movies are not tales but more precisely that they are about storytelling. In other …
The Pajama Game movie
Another really wonderful Doris Day movie is The Pajama Game. She plays Babe, and she’s a dynamic dame in the role, that’s for sure. She works in a factory that makes pajamas. The factory hires a new manager, played by John Raitt. Now there’s a …
Furious 7 (action adventure movie)
It took me a long time to watch the movie Furious 7 because I figured that it would be too depressing to watch. This was especially after hearing stories about how scores of people cried in the theatre in the end.
After seeing it myself though I realised I was …
Movie Bandidas
I had hesitated to watch the movie “Bandidas” at first because it starred two actresses whose acting “talent” tends to be very overrated most of the time. Another reason why I hesitated to watch it too was because it first appeared to me as one of those movies starring …
Crank (2006)
I saw this movie, and you have got to believe this I was in some kind of hallucination or translation while I was watching it. The movie really pulled me into it and I was almost like lost in it. It was as if you have entered some kind …
Fifteen and pregnant
I do not know where I have been, but I was watching lifetime the other day which I absolutly adore especially for there made for tv movies. I noticed a movie from 1998 called Fifteen and pregnant. I went on to read the description and it caught my attention …
Movie: Shawshank Redemption
My wife and I intended on watching Last House on the Left last night. But, the kids were still awake and we knew we would like the movie better if we had peace and quiet. So, instead, we ended up watching the Stephen King movie Shawshank Redemption.
This was the …
Monsters University (animated movie)
Even though I tend to like animated movies I had put off watching “Monsters University” for a very long time. This was because I thought that I might find it to be too immature for my tastes since I had read quite a few bad reviews on it. Nevertheless, I …

Finding Dory (2016 Animated Film)
The fact that most sequels nowadays fail to grasp the success of their predecessors is just pure tragic. The world needs fresh ideas, or perhaps an innovation of original stories sequels are based to. But few filmmakers understood that, so instead of getting rave reviews from everyone, they are mostly …
Everest movie
It was a really fascinating and breathtaking experience watching the movie Everest on Imax. I watched it a few days back with a couple of old school friends, and two of us got teary eyed on some scenes of the movie. This is a very moving, inspiring …

Alvin and The Chipmunks
Everyone who was born in the 80’s cant not know the chipmunks. These 3 cute fellows who made it big in our televisions. I loved them as a kid and watched every show. Now that they made a movie of it, entitled Alvin and the Chipmunks, i was sure …
Rachel Getting Married (2008 film)
The 2008 movie “Rachel Getting Married” might have had a great cast who fell into the roles of their characters phenomenally, and maybe they have done that too well. Because Anne Hathaway who plays Rachel’s sister, Kim, in the movie, really got on my nerves and I think that …
Transformers 2
Transformers 2 is one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. The movie matches the intensity of the first Transformers movie but brings the action up a notch. Here is my opinion on the movie.
Plot: 9/10, the plot of the story is well formed and easy to understand. The …
When A Stranger Calls-Original Version
The original version of When A Stranger Calls is one that stuck in my head for a number of years. I always thought it was a really great movie and it wasn’t until later that I learned it was made for television. However when I saw it recently, I …
What Happens in Vegas
I really have to catch up on the buzz of this new-released movie, What Happens in Vegas, just released this year, 2008. It stars the unlikely couple in real life; my most favorite actress, Cameron Diaz (well, one of the most though) and the cute, hunky and sobs! …
Daybreakers movie
Although I won’t go as far and say that Daybreakers was a bad movie, I was still quite disappointed in it when I watched it yesterday for several reasons. I was unable to understand why a few people I knew said they liked it too, when to me it …
Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown movie
Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown has quite a few well known names in it, including several famous folks who play themselves. It’s a unique setup for the murder of the movie where the guilty party uses a poker game as part of his alibi, not that it works. …
Girl Happy movie
1965 gave the world another Elvis Presley movie, this time called Girl Happy. It featured, once again, Shelley Fabares. She and the King had a real chemistry going, but I have to say that I hated her hairdo in this flick. She looked really funny with …
Black Christmas movie
Known to be the first “slasher” film. It is about some sorority girls who get stalked by a psychopathic killer during christmas time. One by one they fall victim to his intelligent way of tricking them into his hands. It begins very promising with suspenseful opening sequence. But from …
30 Days of Night. A Movie

Bad News Bears
I was flipping channels today and came across the original Bad News Bears on one of the movie channels. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie and I have to admit it is much better than I remember it.
The interesting thing about Bad News Bears is, while …
You Only Live Twice movie
A film about the british secret service agent yet again. This time the audience are lead to believe the hero dies in the first scene of the film, but evidently James Bond can not be killed. Sean Connery is clearly getting tired of the role by this time and …
Goldeneye movie
A refreshing new beginning for the Bond film series after several years of break after the flop of Licence to Kill in the late 80s. A new face for Bond and Pierce Brosnan immedietely became popular among the audience as he was both convincing as an action hero, and …
Grindhouse
Grindhouse had to be one of the most disappointing movies I have ever witnessed. This is not because the film was awful, just that it was (for lack of a better word) a firmly average film that did not really offer anything new to the horror genre. The idea …

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Movie)

Reptilicus movie
A most bizarre danish science fiction b-movie from the 1960s. A terrible monster seems to appear out of nowhere and starts terrorising people. The military sees no way of getting rid of the creature and is getting more and more desperate.
This could indeed be the very definition of a …
The Cave movie
If you’re looking for a “scary” film to bore someone to death with, The Cave is the film you should rent. Otherwise, stay clear of it.
The movie focuses on a group of divers who are seeking to explore an underwater cave and encounter some supernatural creatures along the way. …
Super Bad Movie
Teenage Comedy. I thought I had seen every possible teenage movie scerino, that is until I watched Super Bad. From start to finish this movie had me rolling! The first funny thing I noticed was Seth’s enthuisastic nature. From the get go he spews curse word after curse word, …
Malibu’s Most Wanted (2003)

Christina’s House movie
I watched this movie on lifetime Movie network the other day. It was an overall alright movie. It was worth watching but it isn’t a movie I would watch again or buy. It’s a good movie for a rainy day. If you are really in the mood for a …

There Will Be Blood, epic drama film
