There is something about the presence of John Cusack in a teen comedy that elevates it to something quite fresh. Not that it works all the time, but a good exampe of it in effect is in Rob Reiner’s The Sure Thing.
Perfectly cast as Gibb, Cusack makes his character, …

When my roommate rented this, I was expecting another Eragon, an unoriginal fantasy that rehashes the same elements that we’ve seen before. The fact that this movie was brought to us by the same studio that gave us “Good Burger” did nothing to squelch my fear that we …

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of the best of J.k. Rowling’s seven series. The last series answers all of the un-answered question from the previous series. The movie is no doubt one of history’s best movie. I was whoo and whoa by it and it was …

This movie features Jennifer Lopez in an action/suspense movie, it was really cool watching her in fighting scenes, I never thought she could do some moves as she’s such a diva, and in this movie Enough, it’s literally her breaking free from her abusive husband who beats her even …

I was already a longtime member of the video store chain. I tried the online rentals because it was a good way …

Yet another summer horror flick from Lionsgate studios, ‘My Bloody Valentine’ is given the increasingly popular 3D treatment, and it works beautifully.

There aren’t many films that generate so much controversy as The Interview has done. Considering its premise it comes as no surprise that it would cause upset within North Korea, whose leader Kim Jong Un is not exactly famed for having a self-deprecating sense of humour.
As is often the …

Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief movie adaptation is one of the most interesting movie I have watched to date. I am a mythology fan and being able to see mythology merge with the modern world is a superb treat for me.

Blockbuster was always my way of getting movies. I don’t buy movies as I do not see the point. I am only going to watch the movie once. Blockbuster was really useful. I go in their store, look for the movie I want, pay, and return it once I …

Remakes of classic horror movies don’t have the best track record. Yet, we live in an age where they are common place due to…I’m not sure.
I was skeptical when I heard that they were remaking “Evil Dead”. I’m a fan of the original trilogy and doing …

I think Big Fish was a pretty good movie, yet it was a sad story. I really thought the stories told in the movie Big Fish were just great. This movie has a different type of setting. Big Fish is about an old man who is dying of cancer and …

There is a reason why this DVD is not rated. It is because the sex and adult situations in this film are so intense that it had to be rated that way. I know you’re wondering what kind of filth would be involved in a movie titled …

This may seem weird but I watched this movie as a phone date with my boyfriend. We both put the DVD in the DVD player at the same time and pressed play and watched it with each other over the phone. I love movies about penguins so I knew …

The 2009 film “The Knowing” starring Nicholas Cage and Rose Byrne, did not in any way, do Nicholas Cage any justice. For his talents, and the other movies he has so wonderfully acted in, this film was a real flop. The plot was a little suspenseful, I’ll give it …

Overview - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is one brilliant film yet also a bit difficult to follow at times. I will say that the concept of this film is just great - although it basically is a romance when it comes down to it, it’s unlike any …

I’m going to be completely honest and say that I had absolutely no intention of watching the movie Red 2 since I felt that it wasn’t going to be as good as the first movie. My feelings about it strengthened when I saw the trailer for it and noticed …

A very unpleasant film to …

Please don’t watch this film. Listen to the radio series, read the books, or watch the BBC television series as a far more worthy introduction to Douglas Adams. Alternatively, watch paint dry.
There are a few good things about the film. The visioning of things like the Heart of Gold …

I never saw the trailer for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I only saw it’s poster on the cinema hall at the mall. So I was a bit apprehensive about watching it. I mean, I couldn’t think of any interesting story that is related to making it rain …

This rollicking take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes mythology brings the old hack’s story up to date with several bangs. From the moment the film starts, we are plunged into the seedy underworld of Victorian London, and introduced to a hero who is both brilliant and rather unbalanced.

So, yeah. This movie happened. Don’t. Watch. It. Please. The story is so atrociously terrible and the acting is subpar (other than Jodie Foster, of course.). Please.
Story: So this girl lives on an island in South America with her father who is Gerald Butler, which apparently he does after …

Perry Mason: The Case of the Skin-Deep Scandal stars Raymond Burr as the famous attorney, Perry Mason. I liked the guest cast, but somehow the story didn’t pull me in like the major of Perry Mason cases have done.
It begins with a powerful, manipulative woman played by Morgan …
