The Reaping film
Through this movie, Hilary Swank has reminded audiences once again, that she is one of Hollywood’s greatest Heavy-Hitters. Her acting skills were brilliant. Maybe this is why some of the other cast members appeared as though they needed to step it up a notch? “Who is that blonde little …

Dead Like Me: In Escrow
I pretty much like this particularly episode of Dead Like Me. It’s called In Escrow and deals with the Lass home, which has been on the market. Linda, the realtor, calls and says someone wants to buy the house, so now they go into escrow.
Teryl Rothery plays …
Holy Water movie
Holy Water is a comedy with a lot of good humor that justifies two rules, namely: first, the British films worth seen, and second, the presence of famous actors and directors is not a guarantee for a good movie.
In other words, I watched a movie with actors that I …

Narnia movie
I have just returned from seeing the long-awaited Narnia movie (”The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” based on the novel by C.S.Lewis). The movie was excellent!!

The best way to describe “Point Break” is two great young acting talents, Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze team up in a movie in opposite roles with a lot of action, nail beating moments and great scenography. Apart from having a great story, the interesting aspect about this movie …

Sideways (R, 2004) movie
I had actually been dying to see this movie although I kept passing over it in my Netflix queue. I feel that you have to be in a particular mood to deal with introspective ramblings of 30ish, 40ish people traveling the country simply to taste wine and sow …

Hairspray is a warm fuzzy type of movie. The musical style gives it a lot of fun complete with dancing. On top of that there is a great story and a very happy ending. It is a movie that has it all. John Travolta plays the heavyset mom, which …

G-Force movie
This movie is about guinnea pigs having the skills to be secret agents. As most of the ’superhero type’ movies, they are there to save the world from threat or destruction.

Movie The Re-Animator
The The Re-Animator is a twisted and very gory movie. This movie shows you what classic horror was all about. It has death, zombies, and very crazy experiments done in the The Re-Animator’s lab. The movie has a very spooky and sad feel to it. You get the feeling …

I really don’t like Will Ferrell, but my sister-in-law and brothers told me this movie was good and funny, and seeing as I didn’t have anything to do anyway on a rainy day, I watched this movie.
The movie is all about 2 grown-up adults who thinks they’re still young …

I am a great fan of the Terminator series, and I had been waiting for this film to release from a long time. Last night I went to theater to watch this movie.
Overall it is an enjoyable movie. The story is weak but there are other redeeming factors in …
The Gospel of John
The Gospel of John is my favourite of all four gospels because, rather than focussing on historical facts like the other three, it goes deeper into Jesus’s teachings and philosophy. From the very beginning, it tries to explain the world through what later is was going to become the …
Luther,2003 movie
“Luther,” 2003, starring Joseph Fiennes, is a well-done, compelling movie about the beginning of the Reformation. Seeing the questionable practices of the Catholic Church, Luther, a devoted monk, begins to question its teachings. Despite being a monk, he has never read the New Testament; when he does, he is …

Star Trek The Motion Picture movie
This is the first entry in what was to become a very long and hugely successful series of Star Trek films starring the cast from the 1960s TV shows. As such, I think that any Star Trek fan will want to watch it, but perhaps not all that many …
Days of Darkness
Watching Days of Darkness totally scared the hell out of me. I find the storyline very scary and in fact, if I were to be one of the characters, I would faint several times already. The cover of this DVD movie is also very scary and don’t let …

The Sex in the City movie
I don’t know that they necessarily needed to make a move, but I’m glad they did. Sure, it wasn’t the greatest movie of all time, but it was enjoyable if you are a Sex in the City fan like I am. Now, I would be wary for younger viewers …
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
This movie is simply hilarious. Steve Martin and Michael Caine shine as two con artists who at first team up and then start competing with each other. Each time I watch it, I laugh all anew, even though I know what’s coming, and I can tell that both actors …
Karate Kid (2010) Movie
Karate Kid (2010) stars Jaden Smith and Jacky Chan. This was a great movie, and this is almost a remake of the original Karate Kid. I liked this better than the old original ones. Primarily because Jaden. playing the role of Dre, is really cute. He acts beautifully, very …

This has got to be my new favorite dance movie of all times! My favorites movies before had been combined of Stomp the Yard and You Got Served, and the other movies that had tried to emulate them had failed, except for this one! This movie is a combination …
The Spy Next Door by Jackie Chan
Usually in Singapore it is common to anticipate a Jackie Chan block-buster in and around the Chinese New Year period, where the slightly longer holidays would encourage better box office.
However, this year’s “The Spy Next Door” starring Jackie Chan and Amber Valletta did not create any hype surrounding the …

Netflix
I worked at a video store for 3 years and so I got free rentals. However, the video store, “Hollywood Video”, didn’t really have everything I was looking for. Enter Netflix who has everything I could want. I keep thinking I’ll run out of stuff to want to watch …
Dark Shadows by Tim Burton (2012)
The last thing I want to watch in a movie is another self-defying Johnny Depp playing just about any grotesque role Hollywood throws at him. Well I wound up watching just that, and the current addition to Depp’s collection of fantasy characters is Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows. …

We Own the Night movie
This movie, We Own the Night, is not one I would normally watch under any circumstances were it not for the fact that someone sent it to me. Never turn down a trusted freebie, as I always say. However, it’s crude from the get go, and that’s …
Three monkeys movie
The film won the Cannes Film Festival last year for best director, several friends said such awards are granted, the reasons for the “three monkeys” to the family story with personal style perfectly packaged together. I also wonder why this “packaging” rather than “portfolio”, a large reason may lie …
Hitman: Agent 47, 2015 Action/Thriller Movie
I have always loved the Hitman franchise, and after watching the trailer of this movie, my expectations were at apex. It is the reboot of the 2007 film “Hitman”. Unfortunately, i am disappointed from this movie. It made the original movie film look like a masterpiece. The filmmakers tried to …
The Death of Richie movie
Wow. I almost hated to watch this movie again because it’s a heartbreaker, and more than that, it’s a true story. That’s why it rips through me. I remember watching this in 1977. I remember reading about it. I believe it was Parade that did a …
Carriers movie
I have watched Carriers movie with my boyfriend. He is an avid fan of scary, horror, and suspense movies and I’m the scared one, but I still watch it with him. He was the one who suggested that we watch Carriers when it was shown last year. The story …
